The BBC has announced that Doctor Who will return to BBC One on November 25.
David Tennant will reprise his role of the Doctor and star alongside comedian Catherine Tate as the Time Lord's former companion Donna Noble in three special episodes that will run each Saturday from November 25 to mark the show’s 60th anniversary.
The first episode set to air is called The Star Beast and will be followed by Wild Blue Yonder, which will be broadcast on December 2 and then The Giggle, which will go out on December 9.
The cast ensemble includes Yasmin Finney as Rose Noble, Miriam Margolyes as the voice of the Meep, Jacqueline King as Sylvia Noble, Karl Collins as Shaun Temple and American actor Neil Patrick Harris as the Toymaker.
Sex Education and Barbie star Ncuti Gatwa will take over in the role of the Doctor over the festive period.
Scottish actor Tennant, 52, first stepped into the Tardis in 2005 to play the 10th Doctor.
The latest revamp of the series has seen It’s A Sin writer Russell T Davies return as showrunner. He was the one behind the 2005 revival of the long-running BBC show, and this time around succeeded Chris Chibnall, who introduced Jodie Whittaker as the 13th Doctor.
