New DOCTOR WHO 60th anniversary specials trailer unveiled

The BBC has unveiled a new trailer for their upcoming trilogy of special episodes which will celebrate Doctor Who's 60th anniversary.

The trailer sees the Fourteenth Doctor (David Tennant) - who for unclear reasons has the exact same face and personality as his tenth incarnation - arriving on contemporary Earth to find the planet in danger (as per usual). A key to the puzzle lies with his former companion Donna Noble (Catherine Tate), but the last time they met, the Doctor had to wipe her memory of him to save her life. Should she remember who he is, the results could be fatal.

The trailer confirms the return of Kate Lethbridge-Stewart (Jemma Redgrave), the head of UNIT, and also the arrival on Earth of the mysterious Beep the Meep (voiced by Miriam Margoyles) and their alien pursuers. Also appearing in this trilogy is a mysterious toyshop owner (Neil Patrick Harris), who appears to be an old acquaintance of the Doctor.

The Fourteenth Doctor has to save the planet, stop his companion's head exploding and pave the way for the arrival of his fifteenth incarnation (to be played by Ncuti Gatwa), all in just three episodes.

Doctor Who returns to the BBC and, internationally, Disney+, around the time of the anniversary on 23 November, although precise airdates have yet to be confirmed. As well as the three new episodes, there will be a Christmas special around 25 December before an eight-episode full season airs in the spring.

I am over joyed about this. I didn't care for the last doctor and I have missed the show a lot. All the other doctors in this newest version have all been great, especially David Tenet. He was my favorite!!! I have really missed the show!
