DOCTOR Who fans have gone "insane" as the sci-fi show made its grand return to the BBC for its 60th anniversary.
The special anniversary has left fans excited for over a year as they awaited the return of David Tennant as the Doctor.
Joining Tennant in the special three episodes was Catherine Tate who played his companion Donna Noble when he was last on screen.
The first of the three episodes, The Star Beast, saw fans finally learn what the future had in store for Donna after she lost the memory of the Doctor.
Following their return, fans of Doctor Who have taken to Twitter/X to share their thoughts on the show.

Doctor Who fans emotional as David Tennant and Catherine Tate return
Sharing their thoughts, one Doctor Who fan said: “I’ve missed Catherine and David together.”
Another shared this is the first time they have been this excited for the show since 2009, writing: “I haven't been this excited for #DoctorWho since 2009. I am SEATED.”
One praised Doctor Who's return, saying: “This is the Doctor Who I remembered!”
Whilst others were happy with Tate’s and Tennant’s return, some asked for other past cast members to return, sharing: “Great to see the best Doctor back, but where’s Rose Tyler?.”

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
