In addition, a look behind the scenes at how the scene came together via the companion series Doctor Who: Unleashed (available on BBC iPlayer).
"Every year that I was on 'Doctor Who,' we did something for BBC Children in Need, so it only feels right to be doing something this year. Children in Need is a national tradition; it's certainly a BBC tradition, and 'Doctor Who' is part of that. I'm so glad we're able to give Children in Need viewers this little extra treat,' Tennant shared about the news. Rizwan continued, "It was such an unbelievable joy to work with my Whoniverse idols David Tennant and Russell T Davies. My inner child was losing his mind on set." Davies added, "'Doctor Who' has a fine tradition of supporting BBC Children in Need, and I hope that fans and new viewers alike will be able to watch, enjoy, and contribute to this wonderful cause."
So for an early look at Tenntant's Fourteenth Doctor in action, make sure to tune into BBC Children in Need this Friday, with both the scene and an extended behind-the-scenes look available through "The Whoniverse" hub on BBC iPlayer.
