Doctor Who

David Tennant looked incredible in new Doctor Who promotion pictures as he reunited with co-star Catherine Tate ahead of the 60th Anniversary Special.

The actor, 52, who is the fourteenth Doctor, got suited and booted for the new episodes as he was joined by his former companion, Donna Noble.

David joked that it is his ‘last shot before he is too old’ and hands over the famous time traveller role to Ncuti Gatwa.

He said: ‘It’s a victory lap, one last shot before you get too old to do it again’.

In the snaps, he rocked a blue long wool coat over a maroon checked pair of trousers and white shirt.

David spiked his dark tresses up as he crossed his arms while posing with Catherine who donned a khaki jacket over a pair of black skinny jeans.

The pair first appeared together on the BBC series back in 2006, before starring in Who’s fourth series in 2008.

Their return, announced last year by returning showrunner Russell T Davies, sent fans into a frenzy.

It was recently announced that Sex Education star Ncuti Gatwa will be taking over from Jodie Whittaker to become the show’s 14th Doctor.

The 29-year-old becomes the fourth Scot to take up the post, following on from Sylvester McCoy, fellow Royal Conservatoire graduate Tennant and Peter Capaldi.

Showrunner Chris Chibnall, who cast Whittaker as the first female Doctor, is leaving to be replaced by Davies, who was behind the programme’s 2005 revival and left in 2009.

Tennant and Tate’s collaborations extend beyond Doctor Who. They worked on a stage version of Much Ado About Nothing together in 2011, with Tennant also cropping up on Tate’s sketch show The Catherine Tate Show.

A synopsis teasing their Doctor Who return mentioned Donna’s memory wipe to save her life, adding that the Doctor had “left her family with a warning: if ever she remembers, she will die”.

It adds: ‘But with the two coming face to face once more, the big question is, just what brings the Doctor and Donna back together?’
