David Tennant and Billie Piper Are Back on the Dalek Hunt in DOCTOR WHO Anniversary Special


I suppose it’d be poor etiquette not to reveal I’m a newbie when it comes to all things Doctor Who, but even a recent convert like myself knows David Tennant’s (and companion Billie Piper’s) return is a big fucking deal. John “Raising Hellboy everyday” Hurt will also make an appearance, which is the bit of fanboy icing on this geeky cake.

Here’s the full press release from the official BBC blog:

Last seen as the Doctor on January 1st 2010, this will be the first time Tennant has reprised his role as the Tenth Doctor. During his reign as the Time Lord, Tennant appeared in three series as well as several specials. He was first revealed as the Doctor in the 2005 series finale, ‘The Parting of the Ways’.

Meanwhile Billie Piper, who played companion Rose Tyler for two series following the reboot in 2005, will appear in the show for the first time since featuring in Tennant’s last episode, ‘The End of Time’ in 2010.

Also confirmed to join the cast is John Hurt who will also co-star in the 3D anniversary special that will form part of blockbuster celebrations, set to take over the BBC. Produced by BBC Cymru Wales for BBC One, the 50th anniversary will be written by Steven Moffat and Directed by Nick Hurran.

So, what do you think? Excited? Stoked? Insanely, unbelievably elated?
