Yahoo Finance David Tennant's Doctor Who minisode includes classic series crossover
BBC's annual Children In Need fundraiser saw David Tennant's Doctor accidentally interrupt the Genesis of the Daleks in a minisode tonight (November 17) .
Featuring comedian Mawaan Rizwan, the special scene took place in a Kaled military base where an unmutated Davros (Julian Bleach) was presenting a prototype of the iconic villain to a scientist named Mr Castavillian (Rizwan).
The prototype included a multi-adaptable claw, which Davros was particularly excited about, while Castavillian scrambled to come up with an anagram of Kaled for their new name.
"Adlek", "Lekad" and "Klade?" he suggested to an unimpressed Davros, who briefly excused himself from the room.

Left alone with the prototype, the scientist received a huge shock when Tennant's newly regenerated fourteenth Doctor burst in, knocking the claw off with the TARDIS.
"Just passing by because I got a bit lost," the Doctor said, unaware of what he'd interrupted, adding: "60 minutes ago I was this brilliant woman but now I've got this old face back again."
He was soon horrified to see he was at the Genesis of the Daleks, while Castavillian excitedly jotted down the name "Dalek" and "exterminate" for the creature.
"Wait a minute... Do you mean this is the genesis of the Daleks? I was never, ever here and you're not going to say a word," the Doctor insisted, telling the scientist to fix the claw with a toilet plunger before disappearing.

Left alone with the 'fixed' prototype, Castavillian is left to await Davros' reaction to the new multi-adaptable claw – who saw the new addition and exclaimed: "I like it."
