Tennant, who will play the series’ Fourteenth Doctor in the special, starred in the show as the Tenth Doctor between 2005 and 2010. He also returned for the 50th anniversary special in 2013. In an interview with the Associated Press promoting the drama series “Litvinenko,” Tennant briefly spoke about stepping back into the Doctor’s shoes.
“There’s a slight precedent for that, old doctors showing up for five minutes here and there,” Tennant told the outlet. “But to get a proper old run around in the Converse again was more than I ever dared imagine. So, it was a treat from start to finish.”
The trio of 60th anniversary specials will air in November 2023. After that, “Sex Education” star Ncuti Gatwa will take over the TARDIS as the fifteenth doctor alongside his companion Ruby Sunday, played by Millie Gibson.
