Donna Noble

Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies says Ncuti Gatwa's upcoming Christmas special is a complete reinvention of the show, and that we're heading into a brand new era.

Well now, that was quite the episode of Doctor Who. Clearly wanting to end the 60th anniversary specials with a bang, the latest episode from returning showrunner Russell T Davies, titled The Giggle, saw David Tennant's Doctor and Catherine Tate's Donna Noble take on the Toymaker, played by Neil Patrick Harris. 

After a spectacular re-introduction that almost-but-not-quite wiped the slate clean, Doctor Who spun around to do the exact opposite: Underline how much the previous era mattered. What’s more, it did so in a wonderfully taut standalone thriller, a propulsive riff on The Thing that will double nicely as a perfect episode to introduce new viewers into how great the show can be at knocking out twisty sci-fi mysteries.

Doctor Who director Tom Kingsley shared behind-the-scenes footage from Wild Blue Yonder – and we're both horrified and intrigued.

The BBC has released brand new images from the upcoming Doctor Who Christmas special, with showrunner Russell T Davies teasing the series' newest villain.

The hero of BBC’s long-running sci-fi series Doctor Who is, famously, not a real medical doctor, but they have been a bit ill. What should have been a promising changing of the guard in 2018 — with new showrunner Chris Chibnall and the first woman cast as The Doctor since the series’ 1963 debut — only served to accelerate a gradual downward slide that began in the latter half of previous showrunner Steven Moffat’s seven-year tenure.

At the end of The Star Beast, David Tennant’s Fourteenth Doctor is faced with an impossible decision: save millions or save Donna Noble. With the Meep – all hail! – set to launch its master plan, it appeared that the Time Lord would have to make a major sacrifice.

Doctor Who is back tonight! Over a year after Jodie Whittaker's Thirteenth Doctor last graced our screens, the show is back for a handful of new episodes to mark the series' 60th anniversary – and we can expect to see some familiar faces. 

As the are expected to drop soon, fans are curious about their and the. Here are the air dates and release times of the specials.

When Jodie Whittaker’s Thirteenth Doctor regenerated as the form of David Tennant (as The Doctor), Doctor Who fans were thrown for a loop. Now the 60th anniversary specials have taken it even further, with Catherine Tate’s Donna back, remembering The Doctor, and some aliens threatening them and the fate of the world. All that and this Fourteenth Doctor will be regenerating as the Fifteenth Doctor (Sex Education and Barbie’s Ncuti Gatwa).

In the timey-wimey world of Doctor Who, is there ever really a final goodbye?

Ncuti Gatwa has big shoes to fill when he takes over the role of the Doctor from David Tennant, but the latter has nothing but praise for his Doctor Who successor.

Russell T Davies is back in the Doctor Who showrunning chair for the first time in over a decade – and he's planning on sticking around. 

Doctor Who has set an official return date – and we are so ready.

I remember Doctor Who’s 50th anniversary special well. Mostly, I remember how many bits with Paul McGann, Sylvester McCoy, Colin Baker, Peter Davison, and the rest of the returning Doctor actors just didn’t land for me. I hopped on with Christopher Eccleston! I didn’t know these Doctors! They were just some guys the show expected me to care about!

Is Neil Patrick Harris playing the Celestial Toymaker in Doctor Who? Well, fans seem more convinced than ever that he is, thanks to a new look at the sci-fi show's upcoming 60th anniversary specials. 

Doctor Who is keeping it in the family. New character Rose, played by Heartstopper's Yasmin Finney, who will be joining the show for the upcoming 60th anniversary specials, is now confirmed to be the daughter of previous companion Donna Noble.
