Doctor Who: 5 Ways To Bring Back The 10th Doctor And Rose

4. Pete's World

Another possible way to bring back Ten and Rose is through the alternate universe known affectionately as Pete's World. The last time we saw Rose was in the Series 4 finale Journey's End where she was left in a parallel universe with the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor. He is half-human and half-Tenth Doctor. He has all or most of Ten's memories up to Journey's End, but one heart and seemingly no regenerations. But how could this happen? The Doctor permanently close the breach between the universes at the end of Journey's End. First, nothing is permanent in Doctor Who. The Master has been "permanently" defeated countless times. The Daleks were "permanently" defeated in the Time War. The Time Lords were "permanently" time locked. Secondly, there is a very reasonable explanation for how Meta-Ten and Rose could travel between universes. What? Don't you remember that scene? That's because it was ultimately cut from the final episode. But Russell T. Davies has gone on record as saying that he wishes he had left it as part of the episode. So there you go. Ten and Rose use their TARDIS to travel between universes. And it would help explain Tennant's aging. Although it has only been three years. Likelihood of Happening: 3/10 - If Davies was still the showrunner, I could definitely see this happening. He loved the idea of Rose and The Doctor traveling through time and space and growing old together as they save the universe time and time again. However, Moffat has seemed to shy away from Davies era stories unless they were written by him (Blink, Silence in the Library). To be honest, I was surprised to see him bring in Hurt's character as the Time War Doctor as that was a creation of Davies. Plus, the scene was deleted so it is not officially canon. But it could be if Moffat wanted it.
