 For the first time EVER, three Doctors - David Tennant, Matt Smith and Jodie Whittaker - have united to chat about Doctor Who, their time playing The Doctor and to answer some quick-fire questions!
Watch the video in full below, courtesy of HBO Max.  The Tenth Doctor and River Song are set to reunite for three new audio adventures with Big Finish.
Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor and River Song will, of course, feature David Tennant and Alex Kingston returning as their beloved characters, who were last seen together in Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead back in 2008, with special guest appearances by Peter Davison as The Fifth Doctor and Colin Baker as The Sixth Doctor. The Tenth Doctor knows that River Song is a part of his future. A maddening, intriguing, but inevitable part. Their lives are becoming inextricably intertwined, but in these early days – for the Doctor at least – they must navigate their relationship without too many spoilers. Whatever her past, and the Doctor’s future, holds, River will make sure that he has fun untangling the mystery... 
Rhodri Talfan Davies, Director of BBC Wales, has said that Doctor Who may be unable to start filming while social distancing guidelines are still in place.
Series 13, which was originally due to commence production in September 2020, may have to be postponed until the social distancing measures are eventually lifted and filming is considered to be safe for everyone involved. “It’ll be down to social distancing,” Davies says. “A production like that, which at any point employs hundreds of people, freelance and staff, I don’t believe can be made to the current standard in a socially distanced environment. So it depends when you think social distancing is going to end.” Davies went on to mention that Doctor Who may have to wait even longer if restrictions in Wales aren't lifted as soon as those in England, with production based primarily at BBC Roath Lock Studios in Cardiff Bay. The English regulations are set by the UK Government, whereas the Welsh Assembly Government set the guidelines for Wales. “Obviously each production centre from those two countries is going to need to respond to the specific rules and regulations that each of the governments are introducing,” he added.  Thirteenth Doctor Jodie Whittaker and Tenth Doctor David Tennant chat about their time on Doctor Who, what it means to be The Doctor and how it feels to be part of the Whovian community, as they appear on The Late Late Show with James Corden.

We adore making this show and have been blown away by the response from audiences, so we can’t wait to bring more scares, more monsters and more Bradley Walsh, Mandip Gill and Tosin Cole to BBC One. Brilliant!” Charlotte Moore, Director of Content added, “We’re delighted that the Doctor and her friends will be returning to thrill audiences in 2020.
