It has been announced that David Tennant and Billie Piper will be reprising their roles as the Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler for three original Big Finish audios.
The beloved duo won a legion of followers when they shared the TARDIS together during Series 2 back in 2006. Most recently, they both appeared in the 50th anniversary special, The Day of the Doctor, in 2013, however this new trilogy of adventures – which, for obvious reasons, is set before the events of Doomsday – will serve as the official reunion that fans have been waiting for.
Their comeback will form The Tenth Doctor Adventures: Volume 2 and will be released in November 2017. The first story, Attack of the Zaross by John Dorney, will also co-star Camille Coduri as Jackie Tyler, followed by Sword of the Chevalier by Guy Adam and then Cold Vengeance by Matt Fitton, featuring the Ice Warriors voiced by Nicholas Briggs.

David Tennant will be a guest on tonight’s episode of Top Gear as he prepares to take on an old adversary, the dreaded speed lap, in a Reasonably Fast Car.
The Tenth Doctor actor last took on the challenge back in 2007 (you can relive his first attempt in the player below!), but you’ll have to tune in at 8pm tonight – Sunday – on BBC Two to see if he manages to beat his original time.
You may remember that Billie Piper hilariously beat him, so will this be the moment that he is finally avenged?

David Tennant has revealed that Chris Chibnall was “the only choice” to take over the prized Doctor Who reigns from Steven Moffat.
The Tenth Doctor actor – who also stars in Chibnall’s drama Broadchurch, returning to ITV this month – told Digital Spy that the series will be “in safe hands” when the incoming showrunner’s era opens for business next year. “I think it was inevitable that Chris would get it,” he said. “It’s a massive and difficult job which needs someone who is as talented and enthusiastic as he is. It’ll go from strength to strength.”
Chris has also been given the seal of approval from another recent Doctor – Matt Smith described him as “a wonderful writer” when he was announced as Steven’s successor.
Do you agree with David? Was Chris the perfect choice to take over from Steven Moffat?

David Tennant recently reprised his role as the Tenth Doctor for a brief appearance in an upcoming episode of Family Guy.
The hit animated sitcom will return to Fox for its 15th season this autumn and it’s set to feature an extra special cameo that Doctor Who fans won’t want to miss. And if you blink, you probably will!
Still, it’s a humorous little reference to TV’s favourite Time Lord, which you can check out at the 1 minute mark in the video below (which contains adult content… obviously!).
We all know and love David Tennant as the Doctor but now he’s a real life one too, which just goes to further prove the Tumblr theory that there literally is nothing he can’t do. But you probably knew that already, right?
As BBC News reports, the actor – who helmed the TARDIS from 2005 to 2010 – was invited back to his old drama school in Glasgow today where he was given an honorary drama doctorate to commemorate his acclaimed career which spans award-winning performances on both the stage and screen. He said he was left ”rather humbled” by the accolade.
“It’s overwhelming but lovely to be back,” he continued. ”I don’t think I would’ve survived without my time here. It was an essential three years of practicing in a safe environment.”
Meanwhile, Steven Moffat has also been recognised for his contributions to the world of TV and film. Doctor Who’s outgoing showrunner was the recipient of his own honorary degree from the University of the West of Scotland, who described him as “a great role model”. A ma-WHO-ssive congratulations from us to them! That’s Doctor David and Steven to you…

Not only that, though, but they’ll also be back in a brand new novel, In the Blood, which will be published next month. Written by Jenny T. Colgan, the original adventure promises to take readers on a madcap journey through the world of social media as one day, all over the world, internet trolls start dying. We’ll bring you more about the book soon, but in the meantime, check out its full synopsis and cover below…
All over the world, people are venting their fury at one another on social media. Dropping their friends, giving vent to their hatred, and everywhere behaving with incredible cruelty. Even Donna has found that her friend Hettie, with her seemingly perfect life and fancy house, has unfriended her. And now, all over the world, internet trolls are dying…
As more and more people give in to this wave of bitterness and aggression, it’s clear this is no simple case of modern living. This is unkindness as a plague.
From the streets of London to the web cafes of South Korea and the deepest darkest forests of Rio, can the Doctor and Donna find the cause of this unhappiness before it’s too late?
A brand new Doctor Who Magazine has been released this week and you’ll have no trouble spotting it on the shelves as it features two of the most familiar and beloved faces in sci-fi history.

Inside Issue #498, the real life alter egos of the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble spill the beans on their forthcoming return to the airwaves, which Catherine describes as “original” and “very fun to do”.
