David Tennant just can't keep himself away from Doctor Who. First portraying the Tenth Doctor from 2005 to 2010, when Matt Smitওh then stepped into the TARDIS, Tennant would reprise the role in the celebratory 50th anniversary episode The Day of The Doctor in 2013.

A decade later he is once again coming back to the show for澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询: three specials celebrating the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:60th anniversary, alongside returning showrunner Russell T Davies and Catherine Tate's companion Donna Noble. However, this time things are different as here Tennant is playing not the Tenth Doctor, but the Fourteenth Doctor, a role it was believed actor 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ncuti Gatwa would be taking on (he's now 🐠the Fifteenth Doctor).

All caught up yet? Good, as it doesn't look like Tennant will be stopping there. Speaking to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SFX magazine in the new issue, which features the actor as The Doctor on the cover, Tennant addressed whether he would retuღrn to the show in the future... again. 

Whilst he admits he currently has no plans, he certainly isn't ruling ou📖t the possibility saying: "I think it would be disingenuous to imagine that I might never be asked again because history would indicate that it was always a possibility. So, I’m not going to say never because I don’t think anyon🎃e would believe me. That doesn’t mean I know that I ever will. But I suppose until I can’t run down a corridor it’s always a possibility. But I promise to have no plans."

Upon pointing out that the legendary Patrick Ste﷽wart is still playing Jean-Luc Picard on Star Trek at the grand age of 82, Tennant replied: "Maybe that should be my goal, to have one last outing as The Doctor at 82. I’ve got 30 years to wait."

30 years seems so far aw⭕ay though... but a trip in the TARDIS  quickly solves that issue.

The first of thr🔯ee Doctor Who 60th anniversary specials arrives on November 25, with the final two releasing𝔉 weekly. A new season starring Gatwa as The Doctor will follow in 2024.
