As our sights turn to the 50th anniversary special, the BBC’s released a new interview with two of its stars!
The “momentous” episode will air (in 3D no less!) on 23rd November and will feature the return of David Tennant(!). This new video, which was released as a thank you to the fans who kept the events of the Series 7 finale secret, takes us behind the scenes of the anniversary episode as Matt and David discuss the historic meeting of the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors – and they “seem to get on quite well”!
“They do bicker quite a bit,” David teases. “But they enjoy each other’s very presence…”
Billie Piper will too be back as Rose Tyler in the special which will be shown in cinemas.

Even Time Lords have to put their feet up now and again, as proven in this new pic taken on the 50th anniversary set!
The image was released online yesterday and it shows Matt and David’s feet sporting their respective Doctor footwear – it’s great to see those Converse back in action!
David Tennant will be back in the 3D special alongside Billie Piper as Rose. Other confirmed stars for the “momentous” episode are John Hurt and Joanna Page.
The anticipated anniversary special will be shown on TV and in cinemas this November.
Join us in raising our glasses in order to wish David Tennant a very happy birthday!
The actor, who of course played the Tenth Doctor turns 42 today, and we hope he enjoys his celebrations. Allons-y!
You won’t need reminding that David will be back on our TV screens (and in cinemas too!) in that pinstripe suit when he makes a one-off return in the 50th anniversary 3D special in November. The episode is currently being filmed.
Feel free to post your own birthday messages for David in the comments section below.
John Hurt has spoken about his role in the 50th anniversary episode of Doctor Who, but as expected he has been “sworn to secrecy” as to what it entails!
“I am in the middle of filming it,” he told the Telegraph. “I start again at 9am tomorrow. It is brilliant and I’m getting to work with David Tennant, who I have a lot of time for. I had never thought about being in Doctor Who to be honest, but as soon as they asked, I knew what my answer would be.” His role in the 3D special was confirmed last month.
David Tennant’s described his time in the TARDIS as being “an incredibly happy” one.
Chatting to Huffington Post just before it was annnounced he’ll be back as the Tenth Doctor in the 50th anniversary special, the actor explained: “It was just an incredibly happy time, being part of something that felt quite important and is so celebrated. But it’s a huge pressure which stops you from fully enjoying it as much when you’re actually in it.” His last appearance was in The End of Time, Part Two in 2010.
He added that he hasn’t felt burdened by the role since leaving the TARDIS behind. “So far it’s opened a great many more doors than it’s closed,” he said. “I’ve managed to be busier than I could wish for in doing a wide variety of things. So it’s been a huge boon.”

The read through of the 50th anniversary special took place this evening and to mark the occasion the BBC’s released a photo that will make you take a sharp intake of breath!
Two Doctors collided as the cast and crew gathered to hear the historic episode come to life for the first time. Spoken at a table it may have been, but to have Matt Smith with David Tennant in the same room acting out brand new Doctor Who is all we’ll need! The Eleventh Doctor will join forces with his predecessor in the special, which begins filming this week.
Also returning for the blockbuster festivities is Billie Piper reprising her role as Rose for the first time since her last appearance in 2010. She’ll star alongside current companion Jenna-Louise Coleman in the 3D episode, airing on TV, and in cinemas, this November.
The writer of the episode, showrunner Steven Moffat, was overseeing the proceedings.
Stick with us for all the latest developments! Even more news is expected “very soon”…

Time Out has a new interview with David Tennant about his upcoming role in the major ITV drama Broadchurch.
During the discussion, he comments on how his portrayal of the Tenth Doctor in Doctor Who continues to affect his day to day life. “You can’t ever shrug it off,” he explained. “It’s a really love thing sometimes – even people who don’t watch it love the idea of it. But you can’t switch it off when you are buying a coffee and want to get home quickly but there are five kids who want a photograph taken.”
He added: “You can’t choose it. It is the deal that changes the practicalities of your life.”
With ongoing speculation surrounding David’s rumoured return for the 50th anniversary, he remained adamant that he is still in the dark, admitting that he is himself “beginning to give up hope anything’s going to happen”. It seems that only time will tell on that one!
David Tennant hosted the ceremony, which celebrated the genre of audio drama on air and online. Among the guests in attendance was Seventh Doctor actor Sylvester McCoy – and the BBC Radio blog has shared a great photo (below) of 10 and 7 catching up at the event!
One of the winners was Doctor Who composer Murray Gold.
Murray won the Tinniswood Radio Drama Award for Best Radio Drama Script for his play Kafka the Musical, which coincidentially starred David Tennant in the role of Franz Kafka.

David Tennant will be making his grand return to the Royal Shakespeare Company in 2013, it has been confirmed.
BBC News reports that the Tenth Doctor star will be playing the title role in its upcoming production of Richard II which will form part of the Winter 2013 season – David last took to the Stratford-Upon-Avon stage 5 years ago in Hamlet.
The company’s artistic director Gregory Doran has predicted this part will be “a bigger challenge” for David.
“Richard II can seem like a paean of self-pity,” he explained. “I think David will find that hard as for a lot of it, the audience don’t like this self-indulgent, self-obsessed creature.”
We’d like to wish David the best of luck! His other forthcoming projects include new ITV1 drama, Broadchurch, in which he stars alongside Arthur Darvill, and Sea Lavender, a one-man play at Derry’s City of Culture 2013 festival – there is lots of David to come!
David’s revealed he has “nothing to say” about a return during the 50th anniversary.
