This beloved pair is back to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the show with three special episodes, airing consecutively on Saturday nights, starting from 25 November.

Episodes will air on BBC One and be available to watch online in the UK on BBC iPlayer.

Outside the UK, episodes will be available to stream on Disney+.

The ensemble cast is star-studded: alongside Tennant and Tate are Yasmin Finney as Rose Noble, the distinctive voice of Miriam Margolyes as Meep, Jacqueline King as Sylvia Noble, Karl Collins portraying Shaun Temple, Ruth Madeley as Shirley Anne-Bingham, Jemma Redgrave as Kate Stewart, and Neil Patrick Harris causing chaos as the Toymaker.
