David Tennant was seen shooting tense scenes for the 60th Anniversary of Doctor Who alongside Catherine Tate and newcomer Yasmin Finney on Wednesday.
The actor, 51, who first stepped into the Tardis in 2005 to play the 10th Time Lord, transformed back into the legendary Time Lord as he filmed outdoor scenes with his co-stars.
He sported his trademark look as he wore black suit trousers, a white shirt and a loosely secured grey tie, which he wore underneath a suit jacket and a draping overcoat.
He’s back! David Tennant was seen shooting tense scenes for the 60th Anniversary of Doctor Who as he held up a sonic screwdriver, but it appeared flashier than his recognisable device
David looked tense as he held up a sonic screwdriver, but it did not appear to be the 10th Doctor’s recognisable device but a much flashier version of the tool.
The Scottish star stood alongside Yasmin, who is joining the show as character Rose in a nod to Billie Piper’s stint as the companion to both David Tennant and Christopher Eccleston’s Doctors.
Heartstopper star Yasmin, 18, looked effortlessly stylish in a floral skirt and a green T-shirt, which she wore underneath a denim jacket.
Yasmin looked serious as she stood closely beside David in front of an outdoor food stall, while Catherine, 52, could be seen in the background of the scene.

In another moment, Catherine, who is returning as the Doctor’s popular companion Donna, looked serious as she was involved in a tense conversation with David.
Speculation has been rife around how David’s Doctor and Catherine’s beloved companion Donna Noble will be reunited, after her memory was wiped of their adventures in devastating scenes 14 years ago.
The pair’s return to the series sparked elation among fans, with their arrival set to air as part of the show’s 60th Anniversary in 2023.
The anniversary scenes will also feature new Doctor Ncuti Gatwa, whose casting was announced earlier this month.

Ncuti, 29, who played Eric Effiong on Sex Education, is to be the 14th time travelling timelord after first female Doctor Who Jodie Whittaker steps down.
And Yasmin and Ncuti are seemingly already close, as the actress shared a snap of the new Time Lord wrapping his arms around her at London Fashion Week back in February.
Transgender actress Yasmin recently explained that the role in the show has ‘made her life’, saying: If anyone would have told eight year old Yasmin that one day she’d be part of this iconic show, I would never in a million years have believed them.
‘This show has a place in so many people’s hearts, so to be seen as a trans actress by the legend himself Russell, has not only made my year, it’s made my life.
It comes after Doctor Who’s returning showrunner Russell T Davies teased David and Catherine’s return on Sunday: ‘They’re back! And it looks impossible – first, we announce a new Doctor, and then an old Doctor, along with the wonderful Donna, what on earth is happening?

‘Maybe this is a missing story. Or a parallel world. Or a dream, or a trick, or a flashback.
‘The only thing I can confirm is that it’s going to be spectacular, as two of our greatest stars reunite for the battle of a lifetime.’
David took over the starring role in 2005 from Christopher Eccleston and was succeeded by Matt Smith while Billie Piper’s companion role was the first in the programme’s 2005 revival and was followed by Tate as Donna.

Opinionated Donna helped to save civilisation from the Daleks during her spell with the 10th Doctor but she had her memories of her adventures in the Tardis wiped, because the powers the Time Lord had given her threatened to overwhelm her brain.
David was also seen in the 50th anniversary special, The Day Of The Doctor, in 2013.
A synopsis teasing their Doctor Who return mentioned Donna’s memory wipe to save her life, adding that the Doctor had “left her family with a warning: if ever she remembers, she will die”.
It adds: ‘But with the two coming face to face once more, the big question is, just what brings the Doctor and Donna back together?’
Time travel! David stepped into the Tardis in 2005 to play the 10th Time Lord with his final episode airing on New Year’s Day in 2010, with Catherine starring as companion Donna Noble (the pair pictured in 2008)
