No doubt you’ll be waiting to watch the brand new episode of DOCTOR WHO today (and then checking out THN’s review straight after, hint-hint!), but in the meantime, news regarding the 50th Anniversary Special has leaked.
The BBC have revealed in a press statement this morning that Tenth Doctor David Tennant, former companion Billie Piper, and screen legend John Hurt (him of ALIEN and MIDNIGHT EXPRESS fame) have signed on to appear in the forthcoming 60 minute 3D Special, which will air sometime in November. The news was meant to be revealed in the new issue of DOCTOR WHO MAGAZINE, which is released next week, but copies were circulated to subscribers early, hence why you’re reading the news now.
So, what do you guys think? Me personally, I’m super stoked now! Tennant for me is the best Doctor, and a 50th Anniversary celebration without him just seems wrong (especially considering that Tennant is massive Doctor Who fan himself). Having Billie Piper back is an equally exciting proposition, and as for John Hurt – well, it’s about time we had him in a DOCTOR WHO episode, that’s for sure!
Now all Steven Moffat needs to do is get Paul McGann and Christopher Eccleston on board and we’re sorted!
