For once, we are going to talk to you about Doctor Wholegendary science fiction series from the BBC which will celebrate its 60th anniversary next year and which has been entitled in recent years to several video game adaptations already mentioned in our columns. Between the interactive thriller The Lonely Assassinsthe adventure duo of maze theory, The Edge of Time and The Edge of Realityand even an appearance in Fortnite carried by the English channel (although not official on the side Epic Games), the license has reached players of all stripes.
The whovians had an appointment this Sunday evening for the last episode of the Chris Chibnall era and the Thirteenth Doctor, The Power of the Doctorra double event since in addition to the Regeneration of the character of Jodie Whittaker, it was also a celebration of the centenary of the BBCwith the return of many faces from the soap opera’s past for the occasion. the showrunner decried by part of the community, therefore withdraws after what we consider to be a nice coup, leaving the field open to Russell T Davies for his big comeback, and it is this future that interests us. Inevitably, the rest of this article will contain what can be considered as spoilers if you are not up to date, all the information being official, some of which have been known for months. Are you ready ? So let’s go !
In addition to scenes playing on nostalgia and a brilliant performance by Sacha Dhawan which ignited the dance floorso this is the very end of the episode shared above by the BBC who knew how to tape us. Yes, just like the Doctor, and even before him, our first reaction was simply “what? “, while knowing the cast of future episodes. So the Fourteenth Doctor will be… David Tennant! An article from the official website clearly formalized the news, whilea first teaser trailer has been shared at the very end of the episode, to discover below, since the shooting of the triptych which awaits us has already taken place.
Thereby, the three special episodes which will come to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the show will all be broadcast in November 2023. We will therefore have to wait more than a year before discovering them, but the promise of what awaits us is most enticing. Instead of directly introducing a Doctor with a unique face, Russell T Davies has therefore decided to recast the darling of fans David Tennantwhich was already the Tenth Doctor (and the Meta-Crisis Doctor) at the time when he was showrunner in Seasons 1-4 of the Modern Era. If the actor is back, his character will not be Tenth and, above all, will not stay in the spotlight for long since his replacement has already been made official last May. Ncuti Gatwa will therefore be the next original performer of the Doctor during a 14th season, he who is best known for his role asEric Effiong in Sex Education. Russell T Davies said:
If you thought David Tennant’s appearance was a shock, we’ve got more surprises on the way! The path to Ncuti’s Fifteenth Doctor is loaded with mystery, horror, robots, puppets, danger and fun! And how does this relate to the return of the wonderful Donna Noble? How, what, why? We give you a year to speculate, before everything breaks loose!
These three episodes will indeed also bring Catherine Tate in his role as Donna Nobleenough to bring fans to wonder about how this is possible, in addition to the presence of the talented Neil Patrick Harris in an unknown role and of a certain Pink camped by Yasmin Finney. The production of these special episodes seems promising from this first glimpse and, with just one sentence, Ncuti Gatwa already has everything a great Doctor !
See you next year to discover the revival of Doctor Who. The subtitled Season 13 DVD box set Flow will be released in early January and can be pre-ordered to the Fnac at the price of 24.99 €.
