New 'Doctor Who' Trailer Reveals Titles for Upcoming 60th Anniversary Specials
“Why did this face come back?” Donna Noble (Catherine Tate) is asking the question on everyone’s minds in the latest trailer for Doctor Who’s 60th Anniversary Specials. “This face,” of course, is David Tennant, the Doctor so nice they cast him twice. He is due back as the Fourteenth Doctor in November, and Doctor Who showrunner Russell T. Davies is working overtime to keep fans fed with just enough crumbs of photos, teasers, and trailers until then.
For the past two weeks, cryptic, glitchy teasers were posted and quickly deleted across Doctor Who’s official social media accounts. Decoded messages within the teasers and other mysterious posts pointed to a trailer release on May 13, right before the Eurovision finals. All of the sleuthing and hype paid off, and we now have our second trailer since its December 2022 teaser for episodes that are still six months away.
The biggest reveals from the trailer are the titles of each of the three specials. The specials will be titled, in order, “The Star Beast,” “Wild Blue Yonder,” and “The Giggle.” Beyond the titles, there are new clips showcasing David Tennant’s Fourteenth Doctor, his returning companion Donna Noble, and the unnamed character played by Neil Patrick Harris.
