That Doctor Who reunion you’ve been holding out for has only gone and happened – as Catherine Tate has teamed up with David Tennant again.

But before you start getting all excited at the prospect of Donna Noble returning to the Tardis, we should point out that it’s an entirely different show that has brought the pair back together.

Because they’re reuniting on the rebooted Ducktales – with Tate lending her voice talents to the role of Scrooge McDuck’s arch nemesis Magica de Spell.

Which means you’ll be hearing her dulcet tones alongside Tennant’s – as he’s providing Scrooge’s voice in the revival.




And here’s a taste of what you can expect from the comedian, with a preview clip of Tate in action as the creepy character.

Sorry, this video isn't available any more.

We’re kind of scared already.

It’s been 16 years since DuckTales previously came to an end, but it’s heading back to screens with a TV movie special in November, before the new series debuts on Disney Channel and DisneyLife in early 2018.

Joining Tennant and Tate in the cast are comedian Danny Pudi, Ben Schwartz and Bobby Moynihan as the mischief-making Huey, Dewey, and Louie, Scrooge’s three grand-nephews who are all lovable rascals.

Not long to wait now, people…
