The Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble are on their way back as David Tennant and Catherine Tate are officially returning to Doctor Who in 2023 to celebrate the series' 60th anniversary.
BBC shared the news in a blog, saying, "One of the most loved pairings in Doctor Who’s history have reunited and are filming scenes that are due to air in 2023 to coincide with the show’s 60th anniversary celebrations."
The last time we saw these two, The Doctor had to wipe Donna's memory to save her life. He even warned her family that if she ever remembered, she would surely die. So, what could possibly bring them back together?
While he isn't revealing too much, Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies did tease that this reunion will be "spectacular."
"They're back! And it looks impossible - first, we announce a new Doctor, and then an old Doctor, along with the wonderful Donna, what on earth is happening? Maybe this is a missing story. Or a parallel world. Or a dream, or a trick, or a flashback. The only thing I can confirm is that it’s going to be spectacular, as two of our greatest stars reunite for the battle of a lifetime," Davies said.
Speaking of that new Doctor, it was recently announced that Sex Education's Ncuti Gatwa will be replacing Jodie Whittaker and will become the fourteenth Doctor.
Tennant played The Tenth Doctor in three series and nine specials between 2005 and 2010. Tate played Donna Noble in Series 4 and other specials between 2006 and 2010.
