'Doctor Who's Day Roundup: Ten and Jen, Again!
Welcome to this week's Doctor Who's Day roundup, a dusty old suitcase on the outside, but on the inside an expansive collection of the week's best fan creativity, news and other stuff from a week in social media.
And we begin this week with a remarkable clip from a few years back, that only came to light this week. In 2013, Gary Russell—Doctor Who script editor, former executive producer of Big Finish productions and former editor of Doctor Who Magazine—was heading off to Australia to begin a new career.
In order to give him a proper send-off, David and Georgia Tennant (otherwise known as the Tenth Doctor and his daughter Jenny), made a special video to wish him well, in which they reprised their two roles.
And this week, Georgia Tennant found the clip and put it on Twitter:

Needless to say, Gary is still thrilled about it all:
