Doctor Who Teaser Just Single-Handedly Fixed Our 2023 With Tennant's Comeback
I never thought I'd see the day when David Tennant returned as the Doctor, but now that it's happening, I'm Allons-y-ing my way to the TV.
BBC has revealed a new teaser for its Doctor Who series to celebrate the show's 60th anniversary. The most exciting news for fans is the return of David Tennant as the Doctor, even though the 14th Doctor Who is officially Ncuti Gatwa.
Fans have been expressing their excitement on social media, with one saying "I can't believe David Tennant is back as the Doctor! This is the best Christmas present ever!" Another fan tweeted "I've been waiting for this moment for years, I can't wait to see what the new episodes have in store for us!"
It is difficult to put into words just how much this episode will mean to Doctor Who fans. All of their favorite characters will be returning to the screen, and many fans are looking forward to the new episodes, some for the first time in a while.
The past few seasons of Doctor Who have had a mixed reception from fans, with some finding them controversial. However, the return of Russell T. Davies as showrunner, along with David Tennant and Catherine Tate, has been met with excitement from many fans.
One fan commented "I'm so glad Russell T. Davies is back as showrunner, he really knows how to bring the magic back to Doctor Who. And having David Tennant and Catherine Tate back is just the cherry on top!" Neil Patrick Harris will also be joining the cast, and fans are excited to see what he brings to the show.
Some fans think that the new episodes are relying on nostalgia to attract viewers, and that it is disappointing to see nostalgia casting for multiple episodes, even calling the whole Tennant comeback idea "an unnecessary nostalgia run."
Others are concerned with how "fan service-y" a teaser apparently feels so far.
One fan tweeted "I love seeing Donna again, but I also don't want the show to ignore everything that happened between the 11th and 13th Doctors. I hope Russell T Davies has a plan to balance it all out."
However, many fans have faith that Russell T Davies will deliver a compelling and satisfying story. One fan commented "I trust Russell T Davies to handle the story well. He knows how to balance nostalgia with new ideas and I'm confident he'll do a great job."
Sadly, we'll get to watch Doctor Who newest episodes only in November 2023, but surely it'll be worth the wait.
