In a radio interview with BBC Today, David Tennant opened up about his return to “Doctor Who,” saying that he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to find that sci-fi magic again. Specifically, he said, “I think I was worried before I got there that it might be difficult to get in the groove again, [instead it was] weirdly, weirdly straight-forward … there’s bit of a precedent in this show that all Doctors maybe turn up for a special now and again, but usually in cohort with the current team. So to get another run round the park was a little joy I never saw coming … what a lovely, lovely thing to get to revisit something that was such a wonderful, happy, significant time in my life, it’s like being given the loveliest present. It’s been an absolute joy.”
Now, for those who haven’t watched the special yet, Tennant only appears briefly at the end. “The Power of the Doctor” serves primarily as a swan song for Jodie Whittaker’s turn as the Thirteenth Doctor, after all. That being said, fans can look forward to more time with Tennant as the Fourteenth Doctor paving the way to Ncuti Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor. How much time? Well, it appears as though Tennant will stick around for a few specials, but the details are a bit murky. Then again, that’s pretty much the standard mode of operation for the BBC.
