Russell T Davies on Tennant and Tate's return.

“They’re back! And it looks impossible – first, we announce a new Doctor, and then an old Doctor, along with the wonderful Donna, what on earth is happening? Maybe this is a missing story. Or a parallel world. Or a dream, or a trick, or a flashback. The only thing I can confirm is that it’s going to be spectacular, as two of our greatest stars reunite for the battle of a lifetime.”

So not The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos then?

Oh....count me in. I look forward to the battle against Diversity Who and Doctor Who. Who will win this tense battle over the ultimate control of the future of Diversity Who, (cough) Doctor Who. My monies on mega mouth Donna, giving Diversity Who a good, hard slap down. The battle over the show will be worth every penny of the License Fee. Let the battle begin. And the ratings ramp up!.
