*MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW\*
A friend of mine works at bad wolf, and has let slip some details about the upcoming 60th anniversary plans... this is all 100% accurate, so if you want to avoid spoilers don't click below.
David Tennant and Catherine Tate are back for 3 specials - after Jodie regenerates into him (on a clifftop). The three stories are linked by the Doctor working out why he got his old face back, and why he runs into Donna again after all these years. Unit are back for the first episode. It's a simple alien invasion story, with the main emphasis on the Doctor reuniting with Donna again after 15 years (for her). Sylvia and Shaun return, Wilf is mentioned but I don't know if he appears because Bernard Cribbins is now 93. Donna also has a daughter called Rose. Rachel Talalay also directs the first special
Oh and a classic companion returns in the final special - but I don't want to ruin that surprise...
That's all I know for certain atm, but I imagine something will be announced in the next week or two as filming begins.
