The Doctor Who<\/a> 60th anniversary is set to be one of the biggest events in the show\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

While we\u2019ve already had a tiny glimpse of what\u2019s set to come in the trailer<\/a>, showrunner Russell T Davies<\/a> has revealed he originally planned to unveil a whole lot more before thinking better of it \u2013 to think what we could have had!<\/p>\n

David Tennant and Catherine Tate are set to return<\/a> to Doctor Who in three specials helmed by the returning showrunner, before Ncuti Gatwa<\/a> and Millie Gibson<\/a> take over the keys to the TARDIS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A trailer released on Christmas Day took everyone by surprise, with the clip revealing new cast members and a sneak peek into the adventures we\u2019ll have.<\/p>\n

Writing in Doctor Who Magazine<\/a>, Davies explained: \u201cThose 60 seconds were originally designed as a much larger trailer, 90 seconds long, to go out after The\u00a0<\/span>Power\u00a0<\/span>of the Doctor\u00a0<\/span>on 23rd October 2022.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cA trailer for\u2026 well, things that are still secret. Announcements of our bigger plans. But then we said, no, too soon. And in fairness, we realised: this is Jodie\u2019s night, it\u2019s time for us to step back so we can all celebrate her, along with viewers across the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Davies has also revealed that the Christmas Day trailer includes absolutely zero footage from the second special, meaning there are still plenty of surprises to come.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\""twitter-tweet"\" data-dnt=\""true"\"><p lang=\""en"\" dir=\""ltr"\">It\u2019s new DWM day!
