Wikipedia:Good topics/Doctor Who specials (2023)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Three special episodes of the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who aired in November and December 2023 to celebrate the show's sixtieth anniversary. The specials saw the return of popular series stars Catherine Tate (Donna Noble) and David Tennant (Tenth/Fourteenth Doctors) for the first time since 2010 and 2013, respectively. These were also the first set of episodes to be produced with Bad Wolf and under a new co-production deal with the Walt Disney Company. This deal saw the addition of Disney+ as an original network and greater access for international distribution. Former showrunner Russell T Davies also returned to the programme beginning with these episodes. The three specials were preceded by a Children in Need mini-episode.
