Doctor Who starring David Tennant, Peter Davidson and Peter Capaldi reunite

Three of Doctor Who’s most iconic stars reunited at press night for former showrunner Steven Moffat’s new opus The Unfriend on Thursday night.

David Tennant, Peter Capaldi and Peter Davison joined a host of stars in supporting the writer-producer, who penned several Doctor Who episodes before leaving the series in 2017.

The three actors, who have played different incarnations of the Time Lord throughout its 59-year history, were seen smiling and hugging as they posed at the event.

David played the Tenth Doctor from 2005 to 2010 and into 2013, before reprising his role late last year for the show’s upcoming 60th anniversary.

The actor cut a casual figure in a cream-colored jumper, lightweight pants and sneakers.

Posing with Capaldi, the 12th Doctor who played the legendary role from 2013 to 2017, the Scottish star also cut a relaxed figure in a black jumper teamed with a dark blazer.

David later sat down with Davison, who played the Fourth Doctor from 1982 to 1984, and his wife Elizabeth Morton, who appeared in the Five(ish) Doctors Reboot parody.

Peter’s daughter Georgia Tennant is also married to former Who star David, and the couple tied the knot in 2011.

Another famous face in attendance was Reece Shearsmith, who stars in The Unfriend alongside Amanda Abbington and Frances Barber.

The synopsis for The Unfriend reads: “After twenty years of marriage, Peter (Reece) and Debbie (Amanda) enjoy a cruise as a break from their pesky teenagers.”

Peter can’t resist exchanging views on Donald Trump with a fellow American traveler. There’s something a little unsettling about the kind and eager Elsa Jean Krakowski (Frances), but she doesn’t make sense to rock the boat when you’re about to get off.”

‘Back home, an email arrives from Elsa, followed by Elsa herself. And when Debbie Googles her house guest and finds some horrifying evidence, her good nature is challenged like never before.

Love: Davison and his wife Elizabeth smiled together and enjoyed their evening in London

‘What kind of danger have they allowed to take up residence in their spare room?

And can you bring yourself to say something about it? Sometimes the truth is too rude.’

‘The Unfriend offers a highly entertaining and satirical look at the disastrous instinct of the English middle class to always appear friendly. Manners can be murder.’

Co-stars: Frances, Reece and Amanda calmed down after their play opened in London on Thursday night.

Doctor what? All the actors who have played the Lord of Time

The hit BBC science fiction program Doctor Who was first launched by the BBC in 1963. It chronicles the journey of a Time Lord called ‘The Doctor’.

He is first introduced to him after fleeing his home planet of Gallifrey.

The Doctor travels through time and space in his spaceship, called the TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimension in Space), which resembles a police box.

During his travels, the Doctor meets people and invites them to travel with him. They are known as his companions.

He also encounters various evil beings, such as Daleks and Cyberman, and is forced to defeat them by singing minimal resources, such as his sonic screwdriver, as they try to destroy or take over other planets, including Earth.

As a Time Lord, the Doctor has the ability to regenerate when injured or dying. After regenerating, he takes on a new appearance and personality.

The concept of regeneration was added to the series after the First Doctor, William Hartnell, fell ill and left his role.

The first run of Doctor Who ended in 1989 before being revived in 2005 with Christopher Ecclestone as the Ninth Doctor.
