Fans of Doctor Who, mark your calendars and prepare for an intergalactic adventure! The iconic sci-fi series is set to return to BBC One and iPlayer on Saturday, November 25th, bringing with it three special episodes to commemorate its 60th anniversary.
David Tennant, beloved by Whovians worldwide, will reprise his role as the Fourteenth Doctor, and joining him will be Catherine Tate, returning as Donna Noble. The dynamic duo will grace our screens once again, starting from November 25th, with a new episode airing each Saturday.
The first instalment, titled “The Star Beast,” promises an epic reunion between the Doctor and Donna, raising questions about how and why they cross paths once more. As the journey continues, viewers can look forward to “Wild Blue Yonder” on December 2nd and “The Giggle” on December 9th, taking them on otherworldly adventures through time and space.
A stellar cast joins Tennant and Tate, including Yasmin Finney as Rose Noble, Miriam Margolyes as the voice of the Meep, Jacqueline King as Sylvia Noble, Karl Collins as Shaun Temple, Ruth Madeley as Shirley Anne-Bingham, Jemma Redgrave as Kate Stewart, and Neil Patrick Harris as the mischievous Toymaker, ready to unleash chaos. This cosmic escapade is not to be missed, and it comes before Ncuti Gatwa takes the reins of the TARDIS during the festive season.
But the excitement doesn’t end there! Following the broadcast of each new Doctor Who episode, fans can switch over to BBC Three or access BBC iPlayer to enjoy “Doctor Who: Unleashed.” This access-all-areas show offers an unmissable peek into the creation of Doctor Who, providing viewers with fascinating insights.
As the countdown begins, fans are urged to cancel any plans, gather their sonic screwdrivers, and prepare for the return of Doctor Who. With its rich history and dedicated fanbase, this 60th-anniversary celebration promises to be a thrilling ride through time and space.
