"Wild Blue Yonder" is the second of the 60th anniversary specials of the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who. It was first broadcast on BBC One on 2 December 2023, and was written by Russell T Davies and directed by Tom Kingsley. David Tennant stars as the Fourteenth Doctor, alongside Catherine Tate as Donna Noble, with Bernard Cribbins posthumously guest starring as Wilfred Mott. The episode is dedicated to Cribbins' memory, following his death in July 2022.
Set directly after the events of "The Star Beast", the episode focuses on the Doctor and Donna being stranded by the TARDIS on an abandoned spaceship at the edge of the universe, where they encounter a pair of bizarre, sadistic shapeshifting evil duplicates of themselves. The episode was watched by 7.14 million viewers and received positive reviews from critics.
The episode received 4.83 million overnight viewers, being the second highest viewed of the three specials. A novelisation of the episode was written by Mark Morris, which was then turned into an audiobook read by former companion Bonnie Langford.
