Doctor Who 60th Anniversary’s Villain Fulfils A 57-Year-Old First Doctor Promise

The 60th Anniversary specials of Doctor Who are set to be a celebration of the show’s long history, with certain aspects dating right back to the early episodes of the 1960s. While the main selling point of these three specials is the return of both David Tennant and Catherine Tate as The Doctor and Donna Noble, the stories are said to be littered with surprises and easter eggs that long-term fans will love and appreciate. One of these surprises, in particular, has already been revealed on the show’s official social media, and it fulfills a promise that was first spoken in a Doctor Who episode over half a century ago.
