Woah, I step out for just a decade and they bring David back? Cool.

Yep, he's doing three specials as the 14th Doctor before Ncuti Gatwa takes over as 15 in January.

Delightful, I'm sorry I'm that guy and read after I posted. David is the best imo.

Seems to be the fashion today for the UK to bring back people we all thought we'd seen the last of. First Cameron, now Tennant. Please don't do QEII.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


But he’ll be making his televised debut a little earlier than anticipated... and bringing some old foes with him.

The BBC has confirmed that, as is now tradition, Doctor Who will be a part of this week’s charity telethon for Children in Need with the broadcast of a special exclusive scene starring David Tennant’s 14th Doctor on November 17.

The broadcast will see Tennant’s new Time Lord appear alongside actor and comedian Mawaan Rizwan, as the duo uncover an ancient mystery surrounding none other than the Daleks—a grimly funny bit of timing, considering returning showrunner Russell T. Davies’ recent comments that Doctor Who’s most iconic villains have been a bit overused recently.

It’s currently unknown whether or not the scene will tie into Doctor Who’s upcoming trio of anniversary specials, which will begin airing just over a week later on November 25, but at least Tennant’s latest Doctor will get the traditional chance to appear face to face with their most legendary adversary, if only for a brief moment.

The new Doctor Who scene will broadcast this Friday, November 17, as part of the annual Children in Need telethon, and will be made available standalone online as part of the BBC iPlayer’s Whoniverse platform alongside a special behind-the-scenes look at its creation marking the debut of the new Doctor Who support series, Doctor Who Unleashed.

Check out when to expect the latest Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek releases, what’s next for the DC Universe on film and TV, and everything you need to know about the future of Doctor Who.

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.
