David Tennant Returning To ‘Doctor Who’?

We Whovians are expecting something BIG for DOCTOR WHO’s 50th next year. We could rave with jealousy how the timelord was snubbed at this year’s Olympic ceremony, but let’s focus on the future. Ever since Matt Smith took over the role of The Doctor, people have been gossiping as to which Doctors would return for a (obviously going to happen) 50th Anniversary Special. Now the guys at Bleeding Cool are saying they have received word that David Tennant is definitely returning, with their source allegedly stating:

Yes. David Tennant will be back in time for the DOCTOR WHO anniversary. Be prepared to be surprised…

Considering David Tennant had to be dragged from the role kicking and screaming, that isn’t exactly a big surprise. I’ll start getting more excited when Christopher Eccleston and Paul McGann are confirmed to be returning. It would be great to get all the living actors back, at least for a cameo, although having recently seen Colin Baker on TV travesty I’M A CELEBRITY GET ME OUT OF HERE, perhaps it’s best we leave some of the older chaps out of it.

It wouldn’t be the first time previous Doctors have joined together. ‘The Three Doctors’ united the first 3 Doctors for the 10th Anniversary, and ‘The Five Doctors’ saw the gang get together for the 20th anniversary, with the late William Hartnell being recast with Richard Hurndall. Most recently, in 2007, David Tennant was joined by his real life father-in-law Peter Davison, the 5th Doctor, for ‘Time Crash’ a Children In Need special.

I’m very much looking forward to this year’s Christmas Special, and the rest of Series 7 and the docu-drama on the series next year. But let’s face it, we need to have The Doctors reunite. Explain the aging with some ‘timey-wimey’ stuff, and maybe even get Sean Pertwee to take his father’s role as the 3rd Doctor.
