The Time Of The Doctor Christmas Promotional Image
First Doctor Who Christmas 2013 Promotional Image
The BBC has released the first Poster image from the 2013 Christmas special. This will be Matt Smiths last story before Peter Capaldi takes over.
The Time of the Doctor follows Clara and the Time Lord “to a quiet backwater planet in order to learn what some strange signals mean for his very existence”.

December 4th, 2013 - 7:59pm@Doctor Who One:
“Jon” Pertwee’s real name is John Pertwee.
@sohaib ahmed:
Steven Moffat recently said that everyone as already miscounted how many regenerations the Doctor as already had, so that could mean anything by now. Time Lords are said to only have 12 regenerations equalling 13 Doctors. Capaldi will be the 13th Doctor but it could be said that Matt Smith is actually the 13th Doctor if you include the meta-crisis Doctor.
We all know the Doctor “apparently” dies on Trenzalore so perhaps he does die for real only to be restored in a new set of regenerations with Capaldi being the first?

December 4th, 2013 - 5:47pmIt depends on how long it is.
30 mins (I doubt it) = until 8:00
45 mins (maybe) = until 8:15
60 mins (maybe) = until 8:30
75 mins (unlikely) = until 8:45
90 mins (probably not) = until 9:00
105 mins (I doubt it) = until 9:15
Im sure they wont go past 9:00
Anyone know how long it will be? Most specials seem to be about an hour.

December 4th, 2013 - 5:28pmR.I.P. soon to the 11th Doctor.
New Years Day 2010 – Christmas Day 2013.
Bow Ties – not cool 😛
Stetsons – are cool 🙂
Fezes – not cool 😛
No more future appearances of River Song – THANK GOD FOR THAT 😀
Be honest, she was irritating, with her “Spoilers !” and her “Hello Sweetie !” and “The mind races !”.

December 4th, 2013 - 5:22pmOkay thanks for clearing that up I thought that each time lord has 13 regenerations but they have 13 bodies and 12 regenerations
100000BC
December 4th, 2013 - 4:00pmHe is allowed 12 regenerations, which gives him 13 bodies. So:
1. William Hartnell/Richard Hurndall (An Unearthly Child – The Tenth Planet)
2. Patrick Troughton (The Tenth Planet – The War Games)
3. Jon Pertwee (Spearhead from Space – Planet of the Spiders)
4. Tom Baker (Planet of the Spiders – Logopolis)
5. Peter Davison (Logopolis – The Caves of Androzani)
6. Colin Baker (The Caves of Androzani – Time and the Rani)
7. Sylvester McCoy (Time and the Rani – Doctor Who)
8. Paul McGann (Doctor Who – Night of the Doctor)
9. John Hurt (Night of the Doctor – Day of the Doctor)
10. Christopher Eccleston (Day of the Doctor – The Parting of the Ways)
11. David Tennant (The Parting of the Ways – The End of Time)
12. Matt Smith (The End of Time – The Time of the Doctor)
13. Peter Capaldi (The Time of the Doctor – ? )
Tennant-Tennant was not a proper regeneration as the “Changing of every cell in the body” was not applied, and it was similar to his Healing of River in The Angels Take Manhattan (That didn’t cost him a regeneration – did it?)
All clear fact based on what’s been seen in the TV series. So there.
Sohaib Ahmed
December 4th, 2013 - 1:31pmAnd technically he did regenerate he just used his hand to look the same and not change his appearance. It isn’t just healing he used one of his regenerations to heal. He was meant to change appearence but he used his copped hand to keep it the same.
Sohaib Ahmed
December 4th, 2013 - 1:29pmBut then that means that he has 2 more regeneration left 1 to turn into peter Capaldi an one more left. So why is everyone saying that he won’t be able to turn into peter because he has to regenerations left?

DOCTOR WHO ONE
December 4th, 2013 - 9:18amIt’s Jon Pertwee, not John Pertwee 🙂
And no, despite some recent rubbish I read online, the 10th Doctor did not regenerate into himself, all he basicly did was use his regeneration energy to heal himself and then placed the regeneration energy into the chopped off hand that became the human 10th Doctor before he could have actually regenerated, so that time in series 4’s finale does not count despite what anyone else might tell you.
The 10th Doctor’s real regeneration happened in ‘The End of Time’.

December 4th, 2013 - 8:52amIsnt matt smith the 12th doctor and the 12th regeneration because hartnell is the first and he used his first regeneration to turn in to patrick troughton. (1st regeneration)
patrick regenerated into john pertwee. (2nd regeneration)
john regenerated into tom baker. (3rd regeneration)
tom regenerated into peter davidson. (4th regeneration)
peter regenerated into colin baker (5th regeneration)
colin regenerated into sylvester mcCoy (6th regeneration)
sylvester regenerated into paul mcGann (7th regeneration)
paul regenerated into john hurt (8th regeneration)
hurt regenerated into christopher eccleston (9th regeneration)
christopher regenerated into david tennant (10th regeneration)
david regenerated into himslef (11th regeneration)
and then david regenerated into matt smith(12th regeneration)
so doesnt that mean that he has one more regeneration left so he can regenerate into peter capaldi?

December 3rd, 2013 - 8:24pmThat’s true actually! 🙂 good suggestion!

December 3rd, 2013 - 8:04pmQuite possibly.

Defender of Trenzalore
December 3rd, 2013 - 8:00pmMaybe the sonics, then the energy of being forced through the painting and the subsequent crash combined to finish it off!
If you think about it The Doctor’s and the Zygons entered then left the painting, but the dalek was painted/captured in it all the time, so maybe it was not meant to leave it at all and so being forced out of it is enough to kill it
Just a suggestion!

December 3rd, 2013 - 7:54pm*daleks head is lower than it should be, which could mean it’s damaged*
DALEKSKITTLES
December 3rd, 2013 - 7:52pmI just watched it and realised the daleks head is lower than it should be, so like in asylum of the daleks, the sonic could effect it, which could if broken the dalek more causing it to fall apart?
100000BC
December 3rd, 2013 - 7:50pmI think it was the sonics.
DALEKSKITTLES
December 3rd, 2013 - 7:48pmIt hit the tardis!? I know John hurts doctor flew the tardis into a load of daleks but I didn’t see it hit a tardis when falling through the painting?

December 3rd, 2013 - 7:42pmOh dear he will have to turn to character building!
Jungle Warrior
December 3rd, 2013 - 7:23pmThe Dalek didn’t die falling through the painting, it was killed by the Tardis when it hit it through the painting. 🙂
TheExtremeBlueTARDIS
December 3rd, 2013 - 6:55pmThe BBC has confirmed it will air at 7.30pm. An okay time (at least better than 5.15pm!) but I would have preferred 6.30pm or 7.00pm.
DALEKSKITTLES
December 3rd, 2013 - 6:18pmIt’s still really iterated me that a dalek died by falling through a painting in the 50th I mean anyone else got a explanation on why it died? Surly a fall through a painting can’t kill a dalek!!!? >:(

December 3rd, 2013 - 4:19pmI think river song is saying trenzalore near the end of that preview

December 3rd, 2013 - 4:17pmMy mum said on the radio it says that matt smith has actually broken his leg and they are going to write that into the Christmas special. I think this will happen because the weeping angel arms out of the snow will grab matt smiths lego and that’s probably how he breaks his leg
