What could this mean? <\/p>
It\u2019s a moment Doctor Who fans have been talking about since it happened \u2013 the epic bi-generation, which saw Ncuti Gatwa and David Tennant\u2019s Doctors exist alongside one another.<\/p>\n
In the final 60th anniversary special, The Giggle, viewers saw the Doctor split into two, with both incarnations of the Time Lord appearing side-by-side, and while the moment was truly iconic, there was a bit more to it in the original script.<\/p>\n
Featured in this month\u2019s edition of Doctor Who Magazine<\/a> is an excerpt from the script that didn\u2019t make the final cut, between the Doctor (David Tennant), Donna (Catherine Tate) and Mel (Bonnie Langford) \u2013 and it includes a notable mention of the Rani.<\/p>\n The Rani, who was first introduced in 1985\u2019s The Mark of the Rani, was portrayed on screen by Kate O\u2019Mara and later voiced by Siobhan Redmond for Big Finish audio dramas.<\/p>\n She is a nemesis of the Doctor and is a renegade Time Lord, who experiments on other species, including humans.<\/p> In the scene, with the Fourteenth Doctor\u2019s hands glowing, Donna asks Mel: \u201cHave you seen this before?\u201d<\/p>\n Mel responds: \u201cNo, I missed it, I was unconscious,\u201d going on to clarify to an inquisitive Donna: \u201cWell, the TARDIS was attacked, by the Rani, she was this evil Time Lady, although not evil, more like amoral, and she dragged the TARDIS down to this planet called Lakertya-.\u201d<\/p>\n The Doctor interrupts and the focus is back on him again.<\/p>\n It\u2019s new DWM day!
