The episode brought the return of the Tenth Doctor, played by fellow trans ally David Tennant, and the introduction of Heartstopper actress Yasmin Finney as Rose Noble, Donna’s trans daughter.

The British actress, 54, played the Doctor’s companion, Donna Noble, on the long-running sci-fi series and returned to the show in 2023, alongside David Tennant, for the 60th anniversary specials.
