In lieu of any new episodes this festive season, the BBC delivered a new trailer for the 2023 60th Anniversary Specials this evening. Most clips derived from what we believe to be the first of them - the one with the Meep and the Wrarth Warriors, from the Doctor Who Weekly comic strip. There were a couple of images of Neil Patrick Harris as well - strongly rumoured to be playing the Toymaker.
To the best of our knowledge there are three specials, as three directors are credited, and people saw reference to three productions on filming slates. However, we still only know of two plot-lines (Meep and Toymaker), so it may well be that one of these is a two part story.
The trailer showed that Donna is still subject to the mind wipe which the Doctor inflicted on her, and she will die if she remembers.
Along with the trailer, a quartet of photographs was released. As well as the Tennant one above we have one of Donna, one of her family (mum Sylvia, husband Shaun and daughter Rose), and one depicting someone we've not seen before. This is Ruth Madeley, who is a wheelchair user. She is an audio companion to the Sixth Doctor, but is playing a different character here, by the name of Shirley Anne Bingham. Which episode she features in, we don't yet know.
