Sharing the announcement about the pair’s return, he wrote: "THEY’RE BACK! The Doctor and Donna! But… how?! He wiped her memory! If she remembers, she’ll die! But, but… is it a flashback? A dream sequence? A lie? A fantasy? A parallel universe?! Alt Doctor? The Land of Fiction?! You’ll find out in 2023 as Doctor Who hits its 60th - diamond! - anniversary!"

Taking to Reddit, fans pointed out that they think the next announcement will be that Peter Capaldi, who played the 12th Doctor, will be back for the 60th-anniversary special.
We're very intrigued!
One person wrote: "I’m guessing one of these announcements will be Capaldi back for the special, given he was spotted in Cardiff. Edit: apparently that might just be a rumor but I think it's fairly likely regardless." Another fan added: "It's not a rumour that he was in Cardiff - Rachel Talaley posted a selfie with him there on her Instagram… Oh and look who else she's been hanging around with."
We'd love to see Peter Capaldi back on the show
They added two snaps of director Rachel Talaley posing with Peter and Matt Lucas - who also starred as the Doctor’s assistant Nardole during Peter’s time on the show. Discussing the snaps, another person wrote: "So many people related to this show in Cardiff around the same time surely can’t be a coincidence."
