Very helpful Aquana, thanks, but way too long for what I think we want? We can coordinate more when we ship the first batch. (Hopefully in the next few days.) I'll make sure to post what you suggested on the talk page wherever we end up having this.
(Irregular citations, I know, but we're not exactly going to be citing anything other than TV stories, are we? If anyone feels differently about this, feel free to change them.)

''[[Doctor Who]]'' is a British Sci-Fi show spanning 60 years focusing on an alien, The Doctor, who travels through space and time in a [[The Doctor's TARDIS|time machine]] that takes the form of a police box that's bigger on the inside than the outside, often accompanied by humans in their adventures. When The Doctor is about to die, they can avert death by changing their face and slightly alter their personality, allowing the show to continue onwards as actors and writers change.

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 [[Tenth Doctor|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.
Also returning are the well-loved [[Catherine Tate]] as [[Donna Noble]], a previous traveling companion of Tennant's Doctor who has had her memory erased in order to save her life and [[Bernard Cribbins]], who passed away in 2022, in a posthumous appearance as [[Wilfred Mott]], her grandfather.
 
''(Major narrative spoilers for series 3-4 of [[Doctor Who]])''
 
[[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)}})
 
(Maybe write something up on Donna or UNIT/Kate Stewart as well.)
