Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Read through Finished
50th Anniversary Read-through finished – with a picture many of you would be hoping you would see…
From the official site…
The read through for the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special took place earlier this evening, Monday, 1 April.
Current Doctor Matt Smith was joined by David Tennant and many more familiar faces including Jenna-Louise Coleman (Clara) and Doctor Who’s head writer and executive producer, Steven Moffat.
Over the weekend we confirmed that David Tennant and Billie Piper would both be returning to the show for the eagerly anticipated 50th anniversary special. We also revealed that screen legend John Hurt would also feature in the adventure.
The episode’s production continues all this week and we’ll be bringing you more news very soon…

April 2nd, 2013 - 7:21pmMust be quite weird for David Tennant returning to the role of the Doctor…but not really being the star of the show anymore.

April 8th, 2013 - 1:20amCome on, if Tennant is on he will automatically be the star of the show.

April 2nd, 2013 - 6:52pmThere’s a new video uploaded today on YouTube featuring some pictures from today’s filming.
1 of them looks like the 9th / 10th Doctor Tardis Police Box prop.
Look for –

Those Vigils Over There
April 2nd, 2013 - 6:38pmIt says on the script “BLUE AMENDS”. Is that the title of the 50th anniversary special?
Those Vigils Over There

booboo

Sam Bentley
April 2nd, 2013 - 1:46pmErr… Billie isn’t in these photo’s mate… that is Joanna Page, she was in the show Gavin ad Stacey? There’s no pictures of Billie with the rest of the cast as of yet..
Dalek The Supreme
April 2nd, 2013 - 3:23pmWhoops! 😳 That’s embarrassing!
The TARDIS
April 2nd, 2013 - 1:08pmOoh, I spy a Dalek in the left corner…
Matt smithy
April 2nd, 2013 - 10:23amthe BBC have a habitt of using april fools day as a advantage. They know that everyone will just says its an april fools day joke, wich is why they put up great news. Yes, it is an april fools joke, because they are saying your a fool for not beliving it! Last april fools day they released the picture of matt and karen next to the classic dalek and everyone said it was fake 😀 so this is almost definatly NOT FAKE!

April 2nd, 2013 - 4:01pmNo Anonymous is right, there was bearly any classic series Daleks in the Dalek Asylum. The whole place was largely full of god damn Time War Daleks.

Matt smithy
April 2nd, 2013 - 7:32pmYea, but it wasn’t sn april fools, it was there. Plus there were LOADS of classic daleks, they were just hugrely underused… seriously, look at this sites spottings of classic daleks, they should have done more than sit in the background doing nothing.

April 2nd, 2013 - 6:50pmApril fools is over. It is DEFFINATLEY true.
The Supreme Dalek
April 2nd, 2013 - 9:10amLooking forward on seeing Tennant back for the 50th! Although I didn’t really care about Billie Piper, if I’m honest, for me the special could do without her.

April 2nd, 2013 - 9:45amYour right man
Doctor4131
April 2nd, 2013 - 8:20amso is christopher eccelston returning or was that an april fools?
Anonymous
April 2nd, 2013 - 8:47amHe will never return Doctor 4131, his made it perfectly clear that he never want’s to return after leaving in the end of series 1 [yet clearly no one ever get’s the hint when he says ‘I’m not coming back to Doctor Who’ or anything of the sort, so why fan’s keep going on about Chris coming back is pretty much damn pointless].
booboo
April 2nd, 2013 - 9:17amthey will always ask, nature of the fans
Sebatron
April 2nd, 2013 - 1:12amI cant wait! The 50th Anniversary is 11 days after my birthday! The title is Blue Amends, so I’m guessing it is a TARDIS reference or an anagram for something!
Again, Can’t Wait!!
Jamie
April 2nd, 2013 - 8:09amLol blue amends refers to amendments to the script, it’s not the name of the episode! The actual name will be more exciting than that, I’m sure! 🙂
Darren Gregory
May 17th, 2013 - 5:00pmBLUE AMENDS is not the title. It refers to a stage that the script goes through before it’s complete.
This is gallifrey, our childhood, our home
April 1st, 2013 - 11:32pmFor everyone trying to zoom in on the title, it’s just called 50th Anniversary Special. I hope they’re going to have a name for it though!
Doctor Stu
April 1st, 2013 - 11:14pmGreat news I just hope this picture isn’t an April fool

April 1st, 2013 - 11:16pmYou do realise that is the name of the type of script, not the story, yes ?

bob
April 1st, 2013 - 10:56pmDarn! I’ve tried to zoom in to the script title, but the pixels are to blurry to make it out! I was so exited as well!
This is gallifrey, our childhood, our home
April 1st, 2013 - 11:29pmI think it’s just called “fiftieth anniversary special” at the moment
SM17
April 1st, 2013 - 10:42pmif you zoom in you can see the title of the 50th episode.
Doctor4131

Anonymous
April 2nd, 2013 - 7:40amOh yeah, hope their in the 50th but I’m guessing mr Moffat wanted them to be right at the edge of the picture could be nothing

April 1st, 2013 - 10:02pmGreat this is happening for good:-):-)

April 1st, 2013 - 9:50pmWait… I like to know if David Tennant is actually playing the tenth doctor or The Human/Timelord Doctor from Journeys End
Doctor Stu
April 1st, 2013 - 11:12pmWell if rosé is returning I’d assume its the human Doctor
Doctor4131
April 2nd, 2013 - 8:14amwell it could be rose before she got sent to the paralell universe with the 10th doctor. like they did in the 2 doctors with the 2nd doctor and jamie. i hope its not the human doctor.
dalek eternal
April 2nd, 2013 - 4:26pmfrom what i saw today hes playing the proper time lord 10th dr as i saw his tardis during the filming
GingerDoc
April 1st, 2013 - 9:50pmI can’t believe it. MY Doctor is back and he’s going to be with my 2nd Doctor. The 50th is going to be amazing. Except for the 3D.
Sam Bentley
April 1st, 2013 - 9:20pmThis is one of the greatest photo’s ever… I mean I know they confirmed it but this is almost proper evidence of Tennant’s involvement even though the BBC said he’d be in it… this gets me so excited for the special!
Sam Bentley
April 1st, 2013 - 9:41pmYou know, David found it hard to get back into character after a few months playing Hamlet… I wonder if he’ll struggle again… hmm…
Matthew Littledyke
April 1st, 2013 - 9:10pmWow excellent I hope it’s Definately 90 minutes long like has been recently reported
follow me on twitter ‘allonsy99’
April 1st, 2013 - 9:07pmI cried when I found this picture I knew David and billie were taking part but OMG David and matt are HOT!!!
geronimo2605
April 3rd, 2013 - 12:47amDavid isn’t hot but Matt is quite nice with his gorgeously out-of-proportion face!!!!
Still Not Ginger!!
April 1st, 2013 - 9:06pmwoooo!!!! i can not wait!!
DOCTOR WHO ONE
April 1st, 2013 - 9:06pmNice, looking forward to seeing David and Billie back for this one off 50th Anniversary special, but I bet it will not be the 10th Doctor himself with Rose, but the 10th Doctor’s human clone with Rose instead, but time will tell, always does 🙂
Anonymous
April 1st, 2013 - 9:16pmWell we’ll find out soon enough, if they announce another Doctor I think we’ll get the answer.
