David Tennant & Catherine Tate Returning for Doctor Who Special
David Tennant and Catherine Tate are returning to Doctor Who for the show's upcoming 60th anniversary special. Currently, Doctor Who is wrapping up the tenure of its 13th Doctor, played by Jodie Whittaker.

Now, for the upcoming 60th anniversary, Doctor Who seems set to do the same.
