Details on the next Doctor Who<\/a> special set to air this weekend have been rather scarce. Returning showrunner Russell T Davies called it \u201cweird\u201d and \u201cscary\u201d, with the trailer hinting at some horror elements.<\/p>\n

It certainly sounds like a change of pace from last weekend\u2019s The Star Beast<\/a>, which saw David Tennant reunite with Catherine Tate\u2019s Donna Noble<\/a> for a space-hopping romp.<\/p>\n

The first-look images for new instalment Wild Blue Yonder only add to the mystery surrounding the special, which sees the duo (pictured in the episode above) land on what appears to be an abandoned spacecraft.<\/p>\n

Further images show the Doctor navigating the site bathed in green neon, and then manipulating a series of mysterious tubes in a blue-lit room.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re certainly getting the \u201cweird\u201d vibes Davies was talking about, even if we\u2019re not entirely certain at this stage what it is the Doctor and Donna are up against this time around.<\/p>\n

The pair reunited in last week\u2019s episode more than a decade after their last appearance together on screen. Their quest to stop Beep the Meep<\/a> led to Donna\u2019s memories being restored, and it appears the pair are as close as ever in next week\u2019s instalment.<\/p>\n

Doctor Who fans praised the episode<\/a>, with many crediting the chemistry between Tennant and Noble as the Doctor and Donna for its success.<\/p>\n

It sounds like Wild Blue Yonder will put their newly restored bond to the test, however, as the trailer<\/a> shows them facing an unknown problem that has them both quite rattled.<\/p>\n

At one point, they appear to be separated in the creepy landing site and call out to each other.<\/p>

The episode is also expected to set the scene for the pair\u2019s third and final anniversary special, The Giggle, which will bring back iconic villain The Toymaker<\/a>, played by How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris.<\/p>\n

The Giggle is also expected to feature the Doctor\u2019s regeneration, with Ncuti Gatwa set to take over ahead of the series for the Christmas Day special.<\/p>\n
