David Tennant seems to have slipped back into his former role – and his costume – very easily, as he films the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special. It’s possible it’s even made him a little whistful…
“It is strange being back in the same suit, but it also feels very familiar and comfortable,” said Tennant, who is currently starring alongside another Who alumnus, Arthur Darvill, in ITV’s Broadchurch. “There’s nothing quite like Doctor Who. It has a wonderful excitement about it. I always had happy times there.”
Tenth Doctor Tennant will join his successor Matt Smith, along with former companion Rose Tyler, played by Billie Piper, on the celebratory episode, which marks this year’s Who half-century in November.
“It’s lovely to be around Billie again, even though I see her all the time anyway,” Tennant told TV & Satellite Week.

As it happens, the introduction of Amelia Pond was not contingent on the arrival of the Eleventh Doctor. Speaking to Doctor Who Magazine, Steven Moffat has explained what his basic story arc for series five would have been if David Tennant stayed on and Matt Smith not been recruited.
Here’s his explanation:
I only had the roughest idea. Had David stayed for one final year, it would certainly have been his last, so my pitch was that it would start with the Tardis crashing in Amelia’s back garden – as now – and a terribly battered and bruised Tenth Doctor staggering out.
Amelia finds him, feeds him fish custard (no that was for Matt, it would have been something more Davidy) and generally helps him. But we, the audience, can see he’s in a truly bad way. Dying maybe. Eventually he heads back to his TARDIS, and flies off.
But when he returns – many years later for Amy – he seems perfectly fine, and indeed doesn’t remember any of those events…And of course over time, we realise what we saw was the Tenth Doctor at the end of his life, about to regenerate. Events that we return to in Episode 13…
One of the most interesting things about this are the implications for the relationship between Eleven and Amy, even Rory and River.
Either Eleven would never get to meet Amy and Rory, which would most likely have changed the River Song storyline profoundly, or he’d meet them after they already knew Ten.
BUT GUYS
I BET HE THOUGHT HE WOULD NEVER BE ON DOCTOR WHO AGAIN
HE WAS WRONG

“And I miss Billie. Doing all that press with her last night just, you know, kind of hold each other’s hand through all the madness. I’ll miss having her around. I really will.”
“David and I didn’t just get on because we were thrown together, we were proper mates”.

DAVID TENNANT in SPIES OF WARSAW - Apr 3 BBC AMERICA
Don’t miss as DAVID TENNANT (Doctor Who, Broadchurch, Fright Night) returns to BBC AMERICA in SPIES OF WARSAW, presented by Dramaville *** Premiering Wednesday Apr 3 at 9/8c *** only on BBC America
Adapted by renowned Emmy®-winning writing team Dick Clement (Across the Universe, Tracey Takes On…) and Ian La Frenais (Across the Universe, Tracey Takes On…) and based on New York Times Bestselling author Alan Furst’s acclaimed novel, SPIES OF WARSAW is a thrilling spy story set in Poland, Paris and London in the years leading up to the Second World War.
“Try not to be caught, because technically-speaking, you’re a spy and could be shot.”
The drama finds French and German intelligence operatives locked in a life-and-death struggle. At the French embassy, the new military attaché, Colonel Jean-Francois Mercier (DAVID TENNANT), a decorated hero of the 1914 war, is drawn into a world of abduction, betrayal and intrigue in the diplomatic salons and back alleys of Warsaw.
At the same time, the handsome aristocrat finds himself in a passionate love affair with Anna (JANET MONTGOMERY, Made in Jersey, Black Swan, Entourage), a Parisian lawyer for the League of Nations. Their complicated love affair intensifies as German tanks drive through the Black Forest.
