The news was revealed as part of script editor Scott Handcock\u2019s production diary from Monday 6th February in the latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine<\/a>, in which he teased a recognisable face will show up in this year\u2019s Christmas special<\/a>.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cAs we get into the second week of our Christmas Special shoot, a guest star from 2005 returns; one of our writers delivers their fourth draft of a script for Block Three; a hero prop gets its first unveiling in a Block Three tone meeting, and Block Four director Ben Chessell starts work with the crew in Cardiff.\u201d<\/p>\n 2005 was when the first season the modern era of Doctor Who aired, meaning the guest star will have first appeared either in that season with Christopher Ecclestone as the Doctor, or in that year\u2019s first Christmas special with David Tennant.<\/p>\n Cue frenzied speculation \u2013 could it be Simon Callow\u2019s Charles Dickens? Annette Badland\u2019s Maragret Blaine? Bruno Langley\u2019s Adam Mitchell? Or even Simon Pegg\u2019s Editor, even if he did appear to meet a sticky end? For now, only time will tell.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Whoever it is will likely be sharing some of Ncuti Gatwa<\/a>\u2018s earliest scenes as the Fifteenth Doctor, as he is set to take over following David Tennant\u2019s return as new incarnation, the Fourteenth Doctor<\/a>, in this year\u2019s 60th anniversary specials.<\/p>\n One of the directors of those specials, Rachel Talalay, recently confirmed a returning monster<\/a> for the specials, and it\u2019s one we caught a sneak peek of in the trailer which was released on Christmas Day<\/a>.<\/p> She said that her maddest moment of filming was \u201cfilming outside with the Wrarth Warriors for the first time\u201d.<\/p>\n She continued: \u201cThere are these eight-foot-tall monsters on stilts, in massive plastic suits, who couldn\u2019t see a thing and could barely stand up\u2026 so a classic Doctor Who situation.\u201d<\/p>\n Talalay and the other directors of the 60th anniversary specials also teased what the new TARDIS interior will look like<\/a>, with Chanya Button saying: \u201cOh my gosh, it\u2019s enormous. I mean, it\u2019s absolutely beautiful.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s sort of church-like in scale, and yet it\u2019s also this intimate space that takes you from one place to another \u2013 to even larger, wider worlds.\u201d<\/p> ![\"""\"](\""https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2018\/10\/rose-tardis-97eec70.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413"\" "\\"\"\"\\"\/")
