Watch the first trailer for Doctor Who's three 60th anniversary specials featuring David Tennant and Catherine Tate.

The BBC has dropped the first full-length trailer for the 60th anniversary episodes of Doctor Who airing next November.

David Tennant will return for the show as a new incarnation of The Doctor for three episodes, before Ncuti Gatwa takes over the role over Christmas 2023.

The teaser trail also shows glimpses of Catherine Tate returning as Donna Noble, with Jacqueline King back as her mother Sylvia and Karl Collins as Donna's husband Shaun.

The late Bernard Cribbins was spotted filming scenes as Donna's granddad Wilf earlier this year, just weeks before his death, but he does not appear in the trailer.

Also featured are newcomers Yasmin Finney, playing a character called Rose, Neil Patrick Harris as one of The Doctor's enemies and Years and Years star Ruth Madeley in the role of a woman called Shirley Anne Bingham.

Returning showrunner Russell T Davies said: "We wanted to give fans, friends and families a lovely little Christmas present - with a promise that 2023 will be a riot of Doctor Who goodness!"
