That seems to be the biggest of all RTD’s surprises.
With Russell T. Davies returning to the Doctor Who universe as showrunner, fans expected some of the best qualities of Doctor Who to return with him.
What no one expected, however, were so many literal comebacks of cast and crew members who seem to be joining forces to bring the show back to its former glory.
Although the most notable comeback would be that of David Tennant, who portrayed the tenth incarnation of the Doctor and will now portray the fourteenth for the 60th-anniversary specials, there are quite a few others that fans are head over heels for.
For example, Catherine Tate as Donna Noble, who will once again be his companion or award-winning composer Murray Gold.
With so many announcements coming out almost daily about someone joining or returning to the cast, it’s hard to imagine that there will be any secrets left when the show premieres this November.
However, RTD seems to be keeping the biggest mystery yet hidden from the eyes of fans, even on the set.

With the mystery cast member later described by the source as someone with a smaller frame, possibly female, many fans already had their guesses.
Two of the fan-favorite characters who have yet to be announced came to mind: Freema Agyeman, who played Martha Jones, and Georgia Tennant, who played the Doctor’s daughter Jenny.
Both guesses are valid, not only because both actresses fit the description, but also because both actresses have been sending cryptic messages to fans.
While Georgia Tennant recently posted an Instagram Story saying that she’s on her way to Cardiff, where the show is being filmed.
Freema Agyeman, on the other hand, seemed to be very vague in her answer about coming back to Doctor Who at the last fan meet-and-greet event.
Whether this mysterious figure will be Jenny, Martha, or someone else entirely, we will have to wait and see. Doctor Who will premiere this November with 3 special 60th-anniversary episodes, followed by the new series.
