Big Finish has been releasing brand new in-canon adventures featuring various prior Doctors,which have impressed many fans and allowed some under-served Doctors to get a better shot in the spotlight. But THIS is a big surprise which no fan could've seen coming, and one that a lot will rejoice in!
Tennant was the second modern Doctor, after Christopher Eccleston’s (who has yet to return to the series in ANY WAY.) one series turn as the Ninth Doctor, which revived the long-running British sci fi series after an almost ten year hiatus in 2005. Tennant’s portrayal took the franchise to new heights of popularity across the globe. Though fans have embraced the two subsequent Doctors, Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi (the current star), neither has gotten near the same level of fan love as Tennant.
Donna Noble, played by Catherine Tate, was the Tenth Doctor’s fourth companion. Noble is distinguished by not having romantic feelings for The Doctor and for their relationship being more balanced and equal than previous Doctor/Companion interactions.
No word on when the new Tenth Doctor audio books will land The scripts are reportedly complete, and it’s just a matter of Tennant and Tate’s schedules allowing them to record their parts. Tennant will next be seen on the Netflix series ‘Jessica Jones’ as the villain Killgrave. Tate had a recurring role on the US version of ‘The Office’ and has regularly worked on TV and in theater.
Tennant’s return, if nothing else, should garner some new interest in Big Finish’s audio adventure series. Are you excited to hear the new adventures of the Tenth Doctor and Donna?
