Doctor Who releases Jodie Whittaker and David Tennant crossover teaser… but there’s a twist
Two of The Doctor’s classic incarnations are set to team up in a new Doctor Who crossover, though not in the way you might expect.
Jodie Whittaker’s Thirteenth Doctor and David Tennant’s Tenth will cross paths in Titan Comics’ series, launching in January with the first issue of Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor Season 2.
In issue #1, Thirteen and her companions will meet Ten and companion Martha Jones in a reimagining of classic Doctor Who episode ‘Blink’.
A new trailer gives us a neat preview of all the action as they face off against the Weeping Angels ahead of the comic’s January 8 release.
The comic coincides with the launch of the new series of Doctor Who, which will begin on New Year’s Day.
Ahead of series 12, showrunner Chris Chibnall has teased a theme for the episodes, though it seems it will be up to viewers to work it out.
“I don’t really want to talk concretely about what the theme is until after the series is over,” he said (via Radio Times). “You want to see the audience figure it out: that’s part of the viewing experience, how that evolves.
“I think it was pretty clear that the big theme of last series was family: different versions of family and different ideas of family.
“There is a different governing theme this year but I’m not going to talk about it at the start. People will be able to figure out what it is. It’s pretty clear by the end.”
Doctor Who returns on New Year’s Day on BBC One in the UK and BBC America in the US.
