David Tennant may return as the 10th Doctor for Doctor Who's 50th Anniversary - Polidicks

[QUOTE]We’ve been hearing a lot of Doctor Who Christmas Special details – everything from trailers to a prequel minisode but what is going to happen once all the wibbly wobbly timey wimey holiday cheer subsides? What does showrunner Steven Moffat and the Doctor Who writers have in store for 2013 – the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who? According to recent reports, not only is BBC planning a pair of anniversary specials, the celebration may even include an appearance by the 10th Doctor, David Tennant. No other information was provided on that topic and similar rumors of a reappearance by the 10th Doctor have been debunked again and again in the years since 11th Doctor, Matt Smith, took over the TARDIS. However, it’s not entirely out of the realm of possibility – given that an appearance by Tennant doesn’t necessarily mean a full-on Doctor crossover. The 10th Doctor could easily reappear in a flashback or, should Moffat be crazy enough to re-open the parallel world can of worms, by revisiting Rose and The Part-Human Doctor – which would also mean a possible reappearance by Billie Piper too. Of course, it’s also possible that Moffat is planning his own Doctor mash-up episode – similar to the fan-favorite 1983 special, “The Five Doctors.” In that episode, original versions of the Doctor (Peter Davison, Richard Hurndall, Patrick Troughton, and Jon Pertwee) as well as former companions are ripped from their various time streams and are brought face-to-face – teaming up to defeat a threat to Gallifrey. While five is the maximum number of Doctors that have worked together, producers had already brought together the first three iterations back in 1973 for a four episode arc in “The Three Doctors.” Newly minted Doctor Who fans, who might be less familiar with “Classic” Who, also have their own Doctor crossover – the meet-up between Tennant’s 10th Doctor and the Fifth Doctor (played by Peter Davison) in the minisode, “Time Crash”. Considering Doctor crossovers have happened before, there’s no doubt that Tennant could easily return, not to mention the possibility that 9th Doctor, Christopher Eccleston could take a break from Thor 2 filming for an appearance as well. However, are fans really ready for a face to face encounter by the the most recent versions of the Doctor? While Doctor crossovers are a fun idea, more Doctors don’t always make for better entertainment. That said, if Moffat does want to tackle a Doctor crossover, what better time to do it than for the 50th anniversary – especially considering he shot down any hope of a Sherlock/Doctor Who tie-in. Bleeding Cool‘s report also mentions that (unconfirmed) sources close to production indicate that Moffat is writing a pair of anniversary specials – and that the showrunner has been “laying the groundwork for the anniversary storyline for some time.” The prospect of a two-part celebration is certainly exciting; although, without official word, we could still get anywhere from one to several anniversary episodes when the special installments actually air in 2013 (likely around November) – long after the springtime conclusion of season 7.[/QUOTE] [url]http://screenrant.com/david-tennant-doctor-who-return-50-anniversary-special/[/url] [IMG]http://cdn1.screenrant.com/wp-content/uploads/David-Tennant-Doctor-Who-Return.jpg[/IMG]

I always thought tennant was a bit too emotional and over-dramatic for my tastes but it'll still be interesting to see him come back.

Tennant is best Tennant..I mean doctor.

You know how you could explain 9, 10, and 11 teaming up? [B][I]WIBBLY WOBBLY TIMEY WIMEY!!![/I][/B]

I haven't watched the previous 8 Doctor's so I can't compare to them but Tennant is what made Dr Who for me. I liked Eccleston but he wasn't in the role long enough to be honest. Matt Smith is really good and I certainly enjoy him but whenever I think of Doctor Who, I instantly think Tennant.

I just think that Tennant fit the role best.

as someone who has never indulged in doctor who, tennant is the guy who i think when i think of doctor who, besides that one doctor with the scarves.

Honestly, next to Tom Baker as the 4th Doctor, David Tennant is the most well known and most loved Doctor in the series.

why do I think of the 4th one then? why is he so popular

I really prefer Smith over Tennant but he made that role his for a long time and did it so well.

[QUOTE=Eeshton;38546602]why do I think of the 4th one then? why is he so popular[/QUOTE] Stylish scarves and spankingly hot hair.

[QUOTE=Fangz;38546723]Too bad the actor who played the 9th doctor hates Dr. Who now.[/QUOTE] Wait, whoa what did I miss?

I do prefer Smith to Tennant, but this could be interesting.

[QUOTE=Forumaster;38546726]Wait, whoa what did I miss?[/QUOTE] He claims he was overworked and there has been bad blood in the past between him and BBC.

I prefer Eccleston, probably because I started watching when he was the doctor.

[QUOTE=Fangz;38546723]Too bad the actor who played the 9th doctor hates Dr. Who now.[/QUOTE] I thought he just had personal standards that made him unwilling to reprise the role, like how Jim Carey doesn't do roles in sequels for his movies.

Tennant is my mancrush. I would trade teams for that man. Goddamn, that hair.

[QUOTE=Bredirish123;38547578]Tennant is my mancrush. I would trade teams for that man. Goddamn, that hair.[/QUOTE] I'd hit that. Or let him hit me. Either way he's actually a bag full of rainbows.

[QUOTE=phobia-_-;38546908]I prefer Eccleston, probably because I started watching when he was the doctor.[/QUOTE] imho Eccleston was too angry and anti-heroic, and now this new guy whose name I keep forgetting is too eccentric and cheery. Tennant struck a really good balance between the two.

Honestly, I think Matt Smith is actually a great Doctor, just that because he came after Tennant there was an impossible expectation on him, because the fans would not take anyone other than Tennant.

I've never liked Matt Smith, but since Tom Baker, Christopher Eccleston and Tennant have been my favorite doctors. Tennant nailed the role in my opinion, and Eccleston put a serious twist on it, but kept the pretty funny door open. Matt Smith just feels so childish.

[QUOTE=Forumaster;38546976]Thank god too. Ace Ventura 2 was depressingly bad. Except for the rhino birth. That was good.[/QUOTE] Ace Ventura 2 was fucking hilarious.

I didn't watch a lot of Matt Smith Doctor but he has the ability to be serious, it just seems like the writers never let him. Everything's just all over the place and wacky.

[QUOTE=Fangz;38546784]He claims he was overworked and there has been bad blood in the past between him and BBC.[/QUOTE] i thought he himself has said that that's just bullcrap and he only signed on for one season cuz they didn't know if the series would catch on
