While there was no Doctor Who Christmas/New Year special this year, show bosses did give fans a special treat on Christmas Day - a teaser trailer for next year’s 60th-anniversary episodes. The new episodes will see David Tennant and Catherine Tate return as The Doctor and Donna Noble, respectively. Russell T Davies, who rebooted the show in 2005, will also be back as showrunner.
In the short trailer, viewers got their first glimpse at Tennant’s return as The Doctor. Earlier this year, they were left surprised after finding out that the Scottish actor, 51, would be the next incarnation of the Time Lord following Jodie Whittaker’s departure in October. He will be back for a series of specials before the next Doctor, Sex Education’s Ncuti Gatwa, takes on the role alongside Coronation Street star Millie Gibson, who will be playing companion Ruby Sunday.
Plot details for Doctor Who’s 60th anniversary celebrations remain tightly under wraps, however fans have speculated what will happen after seeing the new trailer, which features some amazing scenes with explosions and soliders, shot in Cardiff. Here is everything you need to know about the future of Doctor Who.
