50th Anniversary Title “The Day Of The Doctor”
Doctor Who 50th anniversary schedule
Schedule Includes a raft of programmes to mark the 50th anniversary of the first episode of Doctor Who.
A 75-minute special called The Day Of The Doctor will star the soon-to-leave Matt Smith and David Tennant.
Smith said: “Hope you all enjoy. There’s lots more coming your way.”
Other highlights include a BBC Two lecture by Professor Brian Cox on the science behind the hit show and the drama An Adventure In Space and Time, written by Mark Gatiss.
The one-off programme stars David Bradley, of the Harry Potter films, as William Hartnell – who was the first Doctor in 1963.
Restored episodes
BBC Four will introduce new audiences to Hartnell, with a re-run of the first ever story. The four episodes are being shown in a restored format, not previously broadcast in the UK.
BBC Two’s flagship arts programme The Culture Show is to present Me, You and Doctor Who, with lifelong fan Matthew Sweet exploring the cultural significance of the BBC’s longest running TV drama.
A 90-minute documentary on BBC Radio 2 will ask “Who Is The Doctor?” – using newly-recorded interviews and exclusive archive material to find an answer – while BBC Three will be home to several commissions.
For those less familiar with the show, Doctor Who: The Ultimate Guide will provide a handy primer.

September 14th, 2013 - 9:24amWhy would it have to be another actress; it could just be set very far in the future where she has aged.
Dalek The Supreme
September 13th, 2013 - 8:56pmSilence of the Doctor is great, but would only make sense if the Silence show up. If not, Fall of the Doctor, Triumph of the Doctor, both sound pretty good.

September 12th, 2013 - 1:27pmJust saying, Blue Peter is also doing a competition to create a new gadget (for 6-14 year olds only) apparently 🙂
The TARDIS
September 12th, 2013 - 8:13amI know it wasn’t good, but it featured old daleks. I don’t think it would be a good anniversary episode.
the astronaut of death
September 12th, 2013 - 7:13amI don’t know why but when I first watch a episode and don’t watch it for a while. some times I just think back and go it was not that good of an episode. but when I re watch it I find it actually rather good .my opinion just changes of an episode suddenly
so about 5 months ago I would have said it was not very good
but now I think it is good as I watched it last week
Scott’s TARDIS
September 11th, 2013 - 9:24pmBut there’s only one thing that was missing from Asylum of the Daleks………a good episode.
The TARDIS
September 11th, 2013 - 9:23pmIt has been reported that they are only in it briefly, can’t remember where though. And the Daleks in it are new series Daleks, so it doesn’t really count. In that sense, Asylum of the Daleks would be a better anniversary episode.
Scott’s TARDIS
September 11th, 2013 - 9:21pmOh right, but you just said that you don’t know. Silence of the Doctor is a bit wired in my opinion, because we all know he won’t die. That’s why Peter Capaldi is going to be the new Doctor…….
the astronaut of death
September 11th, 2013 - 9:19pmthat is what I said 🙂
the astronaut of death
September 11th, 2013 - 9:19pmI know what it means
the title is a good title and it sounds good it has a ring to it
booboo
September 11th, 2013 - 9:17pmbetter ring to it is an old saying used quite lot
i basically means sounds better
Scott’s TARDIS
September 11th, 2013 - 9:15pmNot really, I don’t get how you can use a word that you don’t even know what it means, but never mind.
the astronaut of death
September 11th, 2013 - 9:12pmso do you understand now
the astronaut of death
September 11th, 2013 - 9:10pmI don’t know it is just an expression thing that is used a lot in these circumstances
Scott’s TARDIS
September 11th, 2013 - 9:09pmBut what does ‘ring’ mean?
the astronaut of death
September 11th, 2013 - 9:08pmbut I think your idea is great to
the astronaut of death
September 11th, 2013 - 9:08pmit just sounds better as a title
Scott’s TARDIS
September 11th, 2013 - 9:05pmAstronaut of death, please explain what you mean by ‘better ring to it’?
Scott’s TARDIS
September 11th, 2013 - 9:02pmWell I don’t. And when is the Doctor silent? We all know he’ll regenerate, he won’t die.
the astronaut of death
September 11th, 2013 - 8:58pmI prefer silence of the doctor it has a better ring to it
Doctor Stu
September 11th, 2013 - 8:57pm90 minute in 2D
Scott’s TARDIS
