Fans are excited to see Tennant back on screen as Doctor Who, after 10 years, who last appeared during a 50th anniversary special in an episode titled- The Day of the Doctor. But to clear the doubts, the 14th Doctor isn’t the 10th Doctor, and it is not going to be like his last appearance. This time is different as the Doctor will be playing another incarnation of the beloved character, Time Lord.

Although the role might bear some similarities, it was stated by Tennant himself, during an interview, “The Doctor’s been three different people in the meantime, so I’m not necessarily the same version of the Doctor that I was before.”

As per the words of David Tennant, the fourteenth Doctor must be treated separately from the original role. Additionally, the role played by Catherine Tate will be different too. The doctor might have got older by a few 1000 years, but we cannot forget a lot of time passed for her too.
