Fantastic news today Whovians! With today being the debut of second half of Series 7 of Doctor Who, the BBC has confirmed that David Tennant (The 10th Doctor) and Billie Piper (Rose Tyler) will be returning for the 50th anniversary special! Awesome right?!
To get you even more excited for the 50th, it's also been revealed that John Hurt will be co-starring in the special. I gotta say, I'm incredibly more excited knowing that the 50th anniversary special is going to be a multi-Doctor story. I can't wait to see how 10 and 11 will interact and what they'll think of each other, especially since Tennant's Doctor really didn't want to go...
Now if they can only talk Eccleston into reprising his 9th Doctor...
