Going into the 60th anniversary The Doctor has reverted to one of their past faces for the first time ever, one of the most prominent actors in the role, [[David Tennant]], returning for a trio of specials. | Going into the 60th anniversary The Doctor has reverted to one of their past faces for the first time ever, one of the most prominent actors in the role, [[David Tennant]], returning for a trio of specials. | ||
Also returning are the well-loved [[Catherine Tate]] as [[Donna Noble]] and the late [[Bernard Cribbins]] in a posthumous appearance as [[Wilfred Mott]], who sadly passed away last year. For those wishing to have some context going into the three anniversary specials, a quick run-through of their character history can be found below. | |||

[[Donna Noble]], a temp from Chiswick, met the Doctor on her wedding day, and, after helping to thwart the invasion of [[Racnoss|giant spider people from the dawn of time]], ({{Cs|The Runaway Bride (TV story)}}) she set off around all of time and space with the Doctor ({{Cs|Partners in Crime (TV story)}} onwards). Tragically, her time with the Doctor was cut short, as she was forced to absorb part of the Doctor's mind, causing the Doctor to have to forcibly erase her memories, leaving her with no memories of her time with the Doctor. ({{Cs|Journey's End (TV story)}}). She later married [[Shaun Temple]] ({{Cs|The End of Time (TV story)}}). | |||
Her grandfather, [[Wilfred Mott]], an ex-soldier, first met the Doctor on Christmas eve ({{Cs|Voyage of the Damned (TV story)}}). He always looked to the stars, and quickly developed an affinity with the Doctor, ({{Cs|Partners in Crime (TV story)}} - {{Cs|The End of Time (TV story)}}) whom he looked to as a father might. He assisted the Doctor on his darkest day, and helped to defeat [[The Master|the Doctor's oldest enemy]]. Out of compassion, he took the place of an individual stuck in a radiation booth, not realising the consequences this would have. Ultimately, the Doctor sacrificed his life to save Wilf, and regenerated into [[Eleventh Doctor|a new form]]. ({{Cs|The End of Time (TV story)}}) | |||
