Davies, the beloved writer who brought the Doctor Who series back for a new life, left shortly before David Tennant’s final season as the Tenth Doctor – and fans were very excited to learn that his star would be returning with him, along with fan favorite companion Donna Noble (Catherine Tate).
Tennant will be returning as the Fourteenth Doctor for the three-episode 60th anniversary show, with his trusty companion by his side. In the new trailer, Donna asks the Doctor, “Why did this face come back? To say goodbye?”

We don’t yet know the answer to that question, but we do now know the names of the three specials: “The Star Beast,” “Wild Blue Yonder,” and “The Giggle.”
We also know from the clips in the trailer that at some point, there will be a spaceship in trouble, danger on the TARDIS, and a fuzzy alien creature with giant eyes that looks a lot like a Furby.
Russel T. Davies had even more to say to get fans on the edge of their seats:
The titles are just the beginning of the Doctor’s biggest adventure yet. Autumn is coming, with three hours of danger, Donna, and disaster about to be unleashed!
