Doctor Who 60th Anniversary: 10 Huge Rumours And Leaks You Need To Know

The fact that the classic Doctors were featured so prominently in Jodie Whittaker's finale arguably takes them out of the running for an appearance in the 60th anniversary. If that is the case, then the modern Doctors (along with Tom Baker's Fourth) are the only players left on the board.

Interestingly, Chris Chibnall recently hinted at this in a chat with the Mirror, where he stated that he didn't use any NuWho Doctors in The Power of the Doctor because "I didn’t want to tread on anything that might be happening in future."

That doesn't automatically mean that the 60th anniversary will feature the likes of Eccleston, Smith, Capaldi, and Whittaker (or even David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor, as well as the Fourteenth). Chibnall likely had no idea what RTD had planned for the 60th when he wrote The Power of the Doctor.

But are we going to get carried away thinking about the possibilities? You bet we are.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
