Scots actor David Tennant is returning as Doctor Who after a shock exit from Jodie Whittaker on Sunday night.
Jodie made her final appearance as the Doctor in a special feature length episode on BBC One Scotland, titled The Power of the Doctor.
Following months of speculation as to how Jodie's exit would be handled ahead of Ncuti Gatwa joining in the lead role, previously held by the likes of Tom Baker, David Tennant, Colin Baker, Matt Smith and Christopher Eccleston, writes The Mirror.
Fans have been sharing their theories on how the exit and regeneration would be handled in tonight's special feature length episode.
The Power of the Doctor follows Jodie's last adventure as the Doctor, where she faced multiple threats from Daleks, Cybermen and the Master. Fans were left stunned as her final scenes aired and she regenerated.
In the special episode, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann joined the 13th Doctor for her final battle with the Master. The actor David Bradley represented the first Doctor, originally played by William Hartnell, who died in 1975. Jo Martin also made a welcome return as one of the doctor's future incarnations.
As Jodie's version of the Doctor realised her fate, she bid a fond farewell to her companions before she decided to have time on her own as she accepted her fate. As the regeneration took place, Jodie's Doctor regenerated into David's Doctor.
Jodie had revealed that playing the Doctor made her feel like she was 25 again.
"Before I played the Doctor I spent quite a lot of time playing people who lost children, people whose husband had been disabled - you don’t realise how much that emotional trauma leaves you on the edge of upset when you’ve been doing it for 12-hour days,"
