A year ago, David Tennant returned to Doctor Who as the unexpected Fourteenth Doctor. Surprisingly, he's broken yet another Doctor Who record...

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT David Tennant has broken yet another Doctor Who record, a year after his unexpected return as the Fourteenth Doctor. Regeneration has always been something of a lottery in Doctor Who, but the Doctor's last transformation was the most surprising and inexplicable of them. Jodie Whittaker's Thirteenth Doctor bowed out in "The Power of the Doctor," but this time the enigmatic time traveler took on a familiar face.

Tennant is back for three specials, which will kick off sometime in November 2023 in celebration of Doctor Who's 60th anniversary. The reason for Tennant's return is currently a mystery, although it's likely tied up in Neil Patrick Harris' Toymaker - a classic Doctor Who villain with the power to reshape reality. Viewers have to wait for answers since October 2022, and that means David Tennant has broken yet another record.

David Tennant Officially Has The Largest Gap Between Regeneration & First Story David Tennant's Fourteenth Doctor officially has the largest gap between his regeneration debut and his first story - at least, the largest one that was planned. Many classic Doctors actually regenerated mid-season, with viewers given the opportunity to get to know the new Doctor.

All this means the year and one month between Tennant's return in "The Power of the Doctor" and his upcoming first adventure is very unusual. It's really a quirk of timing; the specials have been ready for quite some time, but it made sense to hold them off until November 2023, as part of the show's anniversary celebrations. They will then set up Ncuti Gatwa's tenure as the Fifteenth Doctor in Doctor Who season 14.

When Will The BBC Announce The Doctor Who Specials' Release Date? The BBC is yet to officially confirm the release dates for Tennant's three upcoming Doctor Who specials. While this is causing some frustration in the fanbase, it seems to be a policy decision of sorts, perhaps an attempt to ensure competitors can't schedule content against such a high-profile event.
