Doctor Who fans got a surprise reunion weeks ahead of the 60th Anniversary Special, as David Tennant and Catherine Tate took to the stage at the BAFTA TV Awards with P&O Cruise on Sunday night.
Hours after a new trailer debuted for the much-anticipated specials, the pair presented the Features Award at the star-studded ceremony.
Catherine certainly caught the eye by showing off her eye-popping cleavage in daring green leopard print dress.

The pair first appeared together on the BBC series back in 2006, before starring in Who’s fourth series in 2008.
Their return, announced last year by returning showrunner Russell T Davies, sent fans into a frenzy.
Backstage, Who fans were then treated to another reunion, as David was seen embracing former co-star Freema Agyeman, who starred as The Doctor’s companion Martha Jones.
During the ceremony, Kate Winslet was awarded Best Actress for her critically-acclaimed performance in I Am Ruth, and during her speech she paid tribute to her co-star and daughter Mia Threapleton.
One of the big winners proved to be BBC’s runaway hit The Traitors, which scooped the Reality And Constructed Factual award, while host Claudia Winkleman won Entertainment Performance for fronting the show.
While Anne-Marie Duff was awarded Supporting Actress for Bad Sisters, the viewer-voted BAFTA for the The P&O Cruises Memorable Moment Award was given the moment Paddington Bear enjoyed tea with The Queen during her Platinum Jubilee concert.

The medical drama is based on Kay’s book This Is Going To Hurt: Secret Diaries Of A Junior Doctor which chronicles his work training to be a doctor in the NHS.
The night also saw Sir Mo Farah win for his BBC One documentary The Real Mo Farah which revealed he had been illegally trafficked to the UK as a child.
Collecting the best single documentary prize, the four-time Olympic champion dedicated the award to ‘children who are being trafficked’.
In his speech, he said: ‘The kids have no say at all, they are just kids and no child should ever go through what I did, I hope my story shows they aren’t alone, we are in it together.’
The 40-year-old thanked the team at the BBC because it ‘wasn’t easy’ to film and he wouldn’t have been able to it ‘without them’, while his wife Tania Nell said it was the couples children who ’empowered’ them to tell the story.
At the start of the show, Siobhan McSweeney won her first BAFTA TV award for Best Female Performance in a comedy programme, for playing Sister Michael, the eye-rolling principal of the show’s Our Lady Immaculate College in the Channel 4 programme Derry Girls.
The reality and constructed factual award was given to psychological adventure show, The Traitors, and collecting the prize, presenter Claudia Winkleman, 51, said she and the team are ‘blown away by this, thank you so much’.
Things got even better for Claudia, as later that evening she received the Entertainment Performance award for hosting The Traitors.
