Premiere Dates Are Finally Set for 'Doctor Who' 60th Anniversary Specials
It looks like Doctor Who's 60th anniversary celebrations are going to last well past the month of November.
Technically, the iconic science fiction franchise first premiered on November 23, 1963, with the episode "The Unearthly Child". Now, as the series prepares to rocket into its seventh decade, it is set to release a trio of specials to mark the occasion, with the first --- titled "The Star Beast" --- now at long last officially set to arrive on November 25, just two days after the show's anniversary. Two more installments, "Wild Blue Yonder" and "The Giggle," will premiere on December 2 and 9, respectively.
The 60th anniversary episodes will feature the highly anticipated return of fan favorite former Doctor David Tennant (Good Omens) as a brand new Fourteenth incarnation of the famous Time Lord. "The Star Beast" will reunite Tennant with former companion Catherine Tate (Queen of Oz), and all signs seem to indicate that the series will finally deal with one of Ten's greatest failures --- his decision to wipe the memories of Donna Noble in order to save her life. In order to do so, the Doctor and Donna will come face-to-face with their most terrifying villain yet: the Toymaker (Neil Patrick Harris).
