Doctor Who\u2019s game-changing\u00a0Timeless Child reveal<\/a> was referenced in the latest 60th anniversary special, Wild Blue Yonder<\/a>.<\/p>\n As part of Chris Chibnall\u2019s season 13, it was revealed that the Doctor is not a Time Lord at all, but the Timeless Child, a being of unknown origins, upending everything we thought we knew about them and their past regenerations.<\/p>\n Doctor Who\u2019s second 60th anniversary special, Wild Blue Yonder, saw David Tennant\u2019s Fourteenth Doctor and Catherine Tate\u2019s Donna Noble faced with eerie doubles of themselves in a spaceship slowly counting down to self-destruct \u2013 with a bit of body horror for good measure!<\/p>\n One scene saw the pair of them separated, struggling to figure out if each other were the terrifying doubles or the real Doctor and Donna \u2013 so the questioning begins.<\/p>\n With the Doctor claiming he\u2019s from Gallifrey, the double of Donna rejects that answer, saying: \u201cYou don\u2019t know where you\u2019re from.\u201d<\/p>\n The Doctor responds: \u201cHow do you know that? How does anyone know that? How does Donna?\u201d<\/p>\n The fake Donna says she saw into his mind when she reverted to being the Doctor-Donna, and saw the Flux.<\/p>\n \u201cIt wasn\u2019t your fault,\u201d she tells him. \u201cIt destroyed half the universe, because of me,\u201d responded the tormented Doctor.<\/p>\n Doctor Who<\/a>: Flux marked Jodie Whittaker<\/a>\u2018s final season as the Thirteenth Doctor and saw her navigate a universe-ending anomaly called the Flux. It also marked Chibnall\u2019s final season as showrunner.<\/p> Returning showrunner Russell T Davies previously confirmed that he would reference Chibnall\u2019s work<\/a> in the second anniversary special, telling Doctor Who Magazine<\/a>: \u201cThe history of the Flux and the Timeless Child is dealt with very slightly in this episode to acknowledge the brilliant work Chris did and to say that\u2019s absolutely part of our history as well.\u201d<\/p>\n Chatting to RadioTimes.com<\/a> ahead of the episode airing, Chibnall said:\u00a0\u201c[Russell] had told me that there was a reference to Flux.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s really beautiful when things like that happen, definitely. It was one of the things we talked about, Steven [Moffat], Russell and I, when we met up, and it was a thing Steven was saying, you don\u2019t feel like the work you\u2019ve done on the show is Doctor Who, because that\u2019s the work you\u2019ve done.<\/p>\n \u201cSo he\u2019s like, all of the episodes he\u2019s written, all the episodes he\u2019s showrun, it\u2019s like everything else is Doctor Who and then his bit is just the thing he did, and it doesn\u2019t feel legitimately part of Doctor Who, and it\u2019s really weird.<\/p>\n \u201cSo when you do get things that crop up, that kind of reference and actually, when I would drop in references to Steven\u2019s stories, or something Russell had done, I would get texts from them, Steven would go, \u2018I was mentioned in Doctor Who! Something I thought of was mentioned in Doctor Who!\u2019 It\u2019s great. You know, \u2018I exist!\u2019 It\u2019s really true.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cRussell as well, [I] would get messages going, \u2018Oh, I got mentioned! The thing I wrote got mentioned!\u2019 So it\u2019s really lovely when that happens and I definitely felt that when we did that in The Power of the Doctor as well. It\u2019s really powerful and how you deploy that, and when you deploy that, is really interesting because it\u2019s that weird push and pull between being new and being part of a continuum. And that\u2019s one of the great, great things about Doctor Who.\u201d<\/p>\n There\u2019s one 60th anniversary special remaining, The Giggle, which will see Neil Patrick Harris take on the role of The Toymaker<\/a> and will finally introduce the world to Ncuti Gatwa\u2019s Fifteenth Doctor<\/a>.<\/p>\n Watch the trailer for The Giggle below:<\/p>\n![\"David](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/12\/david-tennant-wild-blue-yonder-96a365b.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C404\" "\\"david-tennant-wild-blue-yonder\\"\/")
