Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies hints at reason behind David Tennant's return to role

Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies has teased multiple possibilities about David Tennant's return as the Time Lord.

It was announced last month that the Paisley born actor, who played the iconic 10th Doctor in the BBC sci-fi series, would be returning to the role alongside Catherine Tate as companion Donna Noble for the 60th Anniversary special. However, the return of these two characters has left fans of the show confused about how it is actually possible, given their endings.

Russell, who previously was the showrunner from 2005-2010 and worked alongside Tennant and Christopher Eccleson, shed some light on the events taking place in the 60th Special. Writing in this month's edition of Doctor Who Magazine, Davies put forward a few potential explainers for how this could be possible.
