We are now just a few days away from the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who, which is being celebrated on Saturday with the release of the first of three specials. David Tennant will be returning to play the Doctor, and his companion, Donna Temple-Noble (Catherine Tate) will also be back on our screens for the new trio of standalone adventures.
Doctor Who, the 1018-year-old time travelling alien, has become one of the UK's most well-loved and best-known television characters; the sci-fi show has run, in various iterations, on the BBC since 1963. Handily the Doctor - the human name given to the Time Lord - can regenerate, meaning that over a dozen actors have been able to carry the baton over the last 60 years.
