It will be the second time Tennant will play the role of the Doctor in the long-running BBC series. He first played a role in 2005 that lasted until 2010. So, what could he say about it?
David Tennant Addresses Doctor Who Return
In an interview with AP News to promote his new series Litvinenko, the 51-year-old reflected on his show’s return. Tennant was last seen playing the Doctor in the show’s 50th-anniversary special, The Day of the Doctor, alongside Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor and John Hurt as the War Doctor.

David Tennant’s Fourteenth Doctor Role
According to ScreenRant, it’s already usual for the franchise to ask the previous Doctors to reprise their roles, and it has been going on for decades. In fact, it started in Doctor Who Season 10 Episode 1, The Three Doctors, in 1972. The most recent episode that featured the Doctors’ reunion was in The Power of the Doctor, seeing six previous incarnations, including Tennant.

So, this is probably how Tennant’s return will be different from the previous episodes that featured a Doctor’s return. His return also proves the Curator’s claim on the 50th anniversary that the Doctor will “revisit some past faces.” With three full episodes coming for Doctor Who 60th anniversary special, fans can expect Tennant’s true reprisal and not just another five minutes stint.
