Doctor Who series 11 to feature characters and monsters from the classic series?

Doctor Who fans are expecting a bold reinvention of the BBC sci-fi series when it returns later this year, but that doesn't mean that some old favourites won't resurface.

AdoroCinema quotes BBC Sales Director David Hanomo as saying that elements from "the classic series" will appear in Jodie Whittaker's first episodes.

"I cannot say much, but I think the audience will be very happy to recognise elements, characters and monsters from the classic series that will be back," he's quoted as saying.

Exciting, right? (Though we'd advise a little caution: Hanomo's quotes are translated from the original Portuguese, so there is the potential for some miscommunication.)

Chris Chibnall – who's replacing Steven Moffat as showrunner for the new series – previously indicated that he wouldn't be playing it safe in the upcoming series 11.

"What the BBC was after was risk and boldness," he said in June 2017.

Can we have risk, boldness and appearances from the Daleks, the Autons and the Wirrn?

There are a few months to go yet before we find out exactly how serious an overhaul Doctor Who is getting, with series 11 expected to launch on BBC One in October.

A trio of companions – Yasmin (Mandip Gill), Ryan (Tosin Cole) and Graham (Bradley Walsh) – will be joining Whittaker's new Doctor for adventures in time and space.

Doctor Who: DOCTOR WHO & BROADCHURCH TO CROSSOVER - April Fool!

So as we all know, 1st April every year is April Fools day. I've been looking out for any Doctor Who related April fools and finally found one! Enjoy! This one made me laugh!

Press release:
The worlds of Doctor Who and Broadchurch are set to collide this autumn on BBC One and ITV!
Showrunner Chris Chibnall has today revealed that Series 11 of Doctor Who will begin an official fusing of the two shows, continuing in a special Broadchurch instalment on ITV.
David Tennant is set to return alongside co-stars Olivia Colman, David Bradley and Arthur Darvill.
Cleverly, the story will serve as both a prequel and sequel to the hit show. It will be revealed that the town of Broadchurch has in fact been a “mind prison” all along during post-regeneration madness.
The story will flashback and show the Doctor awakening in the Broadchurch town taking the form of Beth Latimer, played by Jodie Whittaker, but unbeknownst of her true nature as the Time Lord.
The various characters she bumps into are in fact figments of the Doctor’s mind trying to desperately remind herself to break free, using familiar faces from the past, including that of her 1st and 10th incarnations, played by David Bradley and David Tennant respectively. She must then battle her demons for the final time so the Doctor can escape the horrors of Dorset and reawaken in the real world.
Chris Chibnall said: “This has been my long game from the very inception of Broadchurch. I always knew that both shows were connected, hence the very deliberate casting choices over the years and the eventual appointment of Jodie as 13. I can’t wait for fans to see how it all plays out!”
Jodie Whittaker said: “It’s fantastic! Chibbers has the most amazing mind. Anyone who thought he was just hiring his mates is in for a shock!”
David Tennant said: “I can confirm that my long-rumoured return is definitely real this time!”
