Doctor Who’s 60th anniversary specials are set to see the return of several familiar faces, from David Tennant to Catherine Tate. But one character we didn’t expect to see made a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it appearance in the recently released trailer.
Eagle-eyed fans spotted her behind Neil Patrick Harris' antagonist, the Toymaker – take a look at the screenshots below…
Mel appeared in the show between 1986 and 1987 and was a companion of the Six and Seventh Doctors, played by Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy. She’s a computer programmer from 20th-century England, and she’s the only companion whose initial meeting with the Doctor was never shown on screen.
The upcoming specials will see Tennant and Tate return as the Doctor and Donna, while new additions to the cast will includeHeartstopper’s Yasmin Finney as Donna’s daughter Rose.
