David Tennant And Catherine Tate Return To Doctor Who In 2016

With rumours abounding that the only Doctor Who we'll get in 2016 will be its Christmas Special (complete with regeneration), here's something to fill the gap…

David Tennant is returning as the Tenth Doctor alongside Catherine Tate as his companion Donna Noble in three new Doctor Who episodes, made on audio for Big Finish.

The series opens with Doctor Who – The Tenth Doctor Adventures: Technophobia by Matt Fitton, which is set in a London slightly in the future, where mankind is gradually losing its ability to use everyday technology. Could there be an evil force at work?

In Doctor Who – The Tenth Doctor Adventures: Time Reaver by Jenny T Colgan the Doctor and Donna arrive on Calibris – 'An entirely mechanical planet. Catch, hitch, fuel, fix, buy, pretty much any kind of transportation in existence.' It's also a world full of scoundrels, where a deadly black market has opened up in a device known only as the Time Reaver.

Finally, in Doctor Who – The Tenth Doctor Adventures: Death and the Queen by James Goss, Donna is swept along in a fairytale romance and meets the man of her dreams in the beautiful land of Goritania. What can possibly go wrong? And why has the Doctor never heard of Goritania?

David Tennant as appeared in Big Finish's Doctoe Who – but only before he took p the lead role, in the  Dalek Empire series.
