Doctor Who & Broadchurch To Crossover

April Fools 2018:

The worlds of Doctor Who and Broadchurch are set to collide this autumn on BBC One and ITV!

Showrunner Chris Chibnall has today revealed that Series 11 of Doctor Who will begin an official fusing of the two shows, continuing in a special Broadchurch instalment on ITV.

David Tennant is set to return alongside co-stars Olivia Colman, David Bradley and Arthur Darvill.

Cleverly, the story will serve as both a prequel and sequel to the hit show. It will be revealed that the town of Broadchurch has in fact been a “mind prison” all along during post-regeneration madness.

The story will flashback and show the Doctor awakening in the Broadchurch town taking the form of Beth Latimer, played by Jodie Whittaker, but unbeknownst of her true nature as the Time Lord.

The various characters she bumps into are in fact figments of the Doctor’s mind trying to desperately remind herself to break free, using familiar faces from the past, including that of her 1st and 10th incarnations, played by David Bradley and David Tennant respectively. She must then battle her demons for the final time so the Doctor can escape the horrors of Dorset and reawaken in the real world.

Chris Chibnall said: “This has been my long game from the very inception of Broadchurch. I always knew that both shows were connected, hence the very deliberate casting choices over the years and the eventual appointment of Jodie as 13. I can’t wait for fans to see how it all plays out!”

Jodie Whittaker said: “It’s fantastic! Chibbers has the most amazing mind. Anyone who thought he was just hiring his mates is in for a shock!”

David Tennant said: “I can confirm that my long-rumoured return is definitely real this time!”
