It serves as the reintroductions of David Tennant and Catherine Tate, with Tennant making his first regular appearance as the Fourteenth Doctor, having previously played the Tenth Doctor during Davies' original tenure as showrunner, as well as in the 50th anniversary special "The Day of the Doctor" (2013), while Tate reprises her role as Donna Noble.
