That’s right folks, David Tennant is back Doctor whoand the actor commented on the shocking ending of this latest special.
From 2005 to 2010, David Tennant starred in Doctor who as Tenth Doctor, and reprized the role in 2013 for “Doctor’s Day,” also known as the franchise’s 50th anniversary special. Although we have known since May that Tennant will appear Doctor whoAt next year’s 60th anniversary celebration, it was never said he would return as the Tenth Doctor. We now know why, as many fans have speculated, Tennant will play the Fourteenth Doctor. This is what the actor told BBC News to come back to Doctor who after a long time of absence:
You walk away from him with a whole mix of emotions. And one of them is sadness and regret. So being able to review it and get another chance was a total joy from start to finish. Doctor Who goes through my life, as if he were actually walking through a piece of rock. It’s a show I loved as a kid, I grew up obsessed with it. I went to see [fourth Doctor] Autograph of Tom Baker in Glasgow, John Menzies. I thought it was something I would certainly never be so involved in again … It’s like receiving the greatest gift. And I’m very, very excited. I am excited and I hope people enjoy the stories we have to tell.

So the opportunity to return to the show, and in such a unique way, was a welcome one for him.

In “Doctor’s Day,” Tom Baker, who played the Fourth Doctor from 1974 to 1981, appeared as the mysterious healer and informed the Eleventh Doctor that in “years to come” he might find himself “revisiting” some of “old favorites.” We have now come to the first example of this event and David Tennant said this about his lopsided return to Doctor who:
It didn’t really seem like a risk. It was a bit like the pressure had eased. But he also knew that Russell T Davies was in charge. And I love working with him and I love having a script with his name on the cover. So I felt like it was a no-brainer.
In case it’s not already clear, David Tennant won’t look like the fourteenth doctor’s New Year’s Eve. It has been confirmed that Doctor whoThe 60th anniversary will consist of three special episodes airing in November 2023, leading to Ncuti Gatwa taking over as the 15th Doctor (which probably won’t be until early 2024).
