The Possibility of Recovering Something Lovely

We’re just under two months away from the Doctor Who 60th Anniversary adventure.  Crazy to think it’s been ten years since Tennant and Smith and Baker celebrated the 50th.  There’s a lot at stake in the 60th anniversary story, as Russell T Davies returns and brings Tennant and Catherine Tate along with him as an “in between” moment before the next Doctor takes over.  And Davies is telling the one story really left to tell from Tennant’s time: what happens if Donna Noble remembers her time traveling across space and time.  Here’s the trailer:

What’s also interesting to me is that as much as I enjoyed Tennant’s time as the Doctor, I didn’t always track well with RTD’s storytelling approach.  I was much more of a Moffat guy in that regard.  So it will be interesting to see how RTD does.  And I’ll also be interested in seeing how this all sets up the next Doctor, as I kind of lost interest with the last one (and I was a fan of Whitaker and Chibnall going into things).  The other factor to consider is the role that Disney will (or won’t) play into things.  I imagine the show will remain as smooth as the Chibnall years.  But maybe it can get back some of the frantic heart of the show that I felt was missing (even near the end of the Capaldi run, really).
