Exclusive: David Tennant's Return to Doctor Who - Celebrity Companion Spills the Beans!

Summary

Kylie Minogue expresses openness to returning to Doctor Who and reprising her role as Astrid Peth, despite her busy music career.

With the upcoming 60th-anniversary specials and the nostalgic tone of the latest Doctor Who era, it is not unlikely for Astrid Peth to make a comeback. The inclusion of Kylie Minogue's willingness to return, along with other former Doctor Who talents, opens up exciting possibilities for season 14 and future specials.

David Tennant's former co-star on Doctor Who, Kylie Minogue, has addressed the possibility of her returning to the show. Sixteen years ago, Minogue played the role of Astrid Peth in the 2007 Christmas special, "Voyage of the Damned." Astrid, a waitress, joins Tennant's character on a space adventure after their TARDIS crashes into a spaceship resembling the Titanic. While this was Minogue's only appearance on the show, Tennant is set to return for Doctor Who's 60th anniversary specials. During an interview on Hits Radio's Answers the Internet, Minogue expressed her fondness for working with Tennant and revealed that she would be open to reprising her role as Astrid. You can read Minogue's full statement below.

"It was so amazing to be in such a beloved show and with David Tennant as The Doctor.

Happy days. I wouldn't mind if Astrid Peth came back, just saying."

Doctor Who Has Been Full Of Surprising Returns

Considering Astrid's appearance in only one episode of Doctor Who, it may seem unlikely for the character to return. Additionally, Kylie Minogue, who portrays Astrid, is occupied with her music career and may not have the availability to commit to the production schedule of Doctor Who. However, the fact that she expressed her willingness to return is exciting for those who appreciated her role as a companion in the show.

Given the direction of the upcoming 60th-anniversary specials and the 14th season of Doctor Who, the possibility of Astrid Peth making a comeback cannot be entirely ruled out. The show is already bringing back Catherine Tate as Donna Noble and David Tennant as the now-Fourteenth Doctor. Although these characters hold more significant roles than Astrid, their inclusion reflects the nostalgic theme of the current era of Doctor Who, which pays homage to the previous revival period.

Minogue is not the sole member of Doctor Who hinting at a comeback. Esteemed Doctor Who writer and former showrunner Steven Moffat has also alluded to his possible return when questioned about the show in a recent interview. With both Minogue and Moffat, who have previously been associated with Doctor Who, hinting at potential returns, the prospects for Doctor Who season 14 and the forthcoming specials appear boundless.
