Russell T Davies, showrunner of Doctor Who<\/a>, has made quite the revelation about the final 60th anniversary special, The Giggle.<\/a><\/p>\n

The final special will see one of the Doctor\u2019s oldest enemies, The Toymaker<\/a>, return \u2013 this time brought to life by Neil Patrick Harris. It will also finally introduce us to Ncuti Gatwa\u2019s Fifteenth Doctor and see out David Tennant\u2019s Fourteenth Doctor and Catherine Tate\u2019s Donna Noble.<\/p>\n

However, something about the episode is going to be very different, as Davies teased to Doctor Who Magazine<\/a>, saying: \u201cThere will be controversial events in this episode.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you listen and watch the [in-vision] commentary on the iPlayer, I unroll a whole new Doctor Who\u00a0<\/span>mythology for you, based around the events taking place. And I\u2019m explaining this to David Tennant and his mind is exploding.<\/p>\n
