The 2023 specials are a trilogy of television episodes that were written and produced to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who.
It began a new era of the programme as former showrunner and executive producer Russell T Davies made his return to the role he effectively started.
The specials saw the return of David Tennant to the role of the Doctor, now portraying the Fourteenth Doctor, rather than returning as his former Tenth Doctor. Catherine Tate also reprised her role as former companion Donna Noble, with Bernard Cribbins, Jacqueline King and Karl Collins returning as Wilfred Mott, Sylvia Noble and Shaun Temple, respectively.
