David Tennant

David Tennant has officially returned to Doctor Who, but he won't be alone - here's everything known about Tennant's return to the BBC sci-fi show.

The Sex Education star was briefly seen in the official trailer for the Doctor Who 60th anniversary celebrations, seeming just as confused as Tennant's Fourteenth Doctor. And how is it connected to the return of the wonderful Donna Noble (Catherine Tate)? The Doctor only clashed with him in the past when the TARDIS strayed into the Toymaker's own realm. In the meantime, viewers will probably want to keep an eye on Doctor Who Magazine, which has always enjoyed a good relationship with Davies. The BBC has now released a brief trailer teasing the Doctor Who 60th anniversary specials, and the footage does suggest David Tennant's new Doctor will struggle to retain his sense of identity. The path to Ncuti’s Fifteenth Doctor is laden with mystery, horror, robots, puppets, danger and fun! Tennant's return to Doctor Who seems entirely appropriate given he's arguably the most recognizable and beloved Doctor of the modern era, and doubly so given that his return coincides with Russell T. This does mean viewers should be wary of assuming Tennant is playing the same Tenth Doctor character. [David Tennant is the Fourteenth Doctor](https://screenrant.com/doctor-who-david-tennant-return-fourteenth-doctor-confirmed/), which makes sense given he has now succeeded Whittaker. Colin Baker's Sixth Doctor is the textbook example, with the new Doctor literally trying to throttle his companion as his emotions fired out-of-control. On one hand, Ncuti Gatwa had been cast as the Doctor; on the other, David Tennant had been confirmed to return for 2023's 60th anniversary celebrations. Regeneration is the key to Doctor Who's success because it gives the world's longest-running science-fiction TV series the ability to reinvent itself.
