Special 50th Anniversary Celebration Trailer Tonight
Exciting news! The BBC has issued the press release below, detailing a very special trailer. You can see it on BBC One tonight at approximately 8.20pm β thatβs right after Strictly Come Dancing and just before Atlantis. The amazing trailer will be available to watch on this site, immediately after its BBC One premiere.
The press release reads:
A specially created trailer celebrating the last 50 years of Doctor Who will air tonight on BBC One, as an exclusive image is revealed today featuring the 11 Doctors.
Travelling through time fans will be taken on a journey from the very beginning using state of the art technology. The special trailer is set to show all of the Doctors as they first appeared on screen, including William Hartnell in high res colour for the very first time, as celebrations ramp up to the 23 November.
A huge moment for the BBC, the 50th celebrations will culminate with the special episode, βThe Day of the Doctorβ, starring Matt Smith, David Tennant and Jenna Coleman with Billie Piper and John Hurt. A whole range of shows have also been commissioned across TV and radio to mark the anniversary.

October 19th, 2013 - 7:20pmguys the thing you dont realize is that children in need is next month so we will probably get a trailer or clip or maybe both but doubt it then. we just gotta wait and at least its more of a surprise

October 19th, 2013 - 8:01pmBut that is like a week off the anniversary. I think that would be a bit too short. An ideal time (and the most probable) would be the 23rd October.

October 19th, 2013 - 6:48pmwhat are we all doing for the 50th? i am writing a poem, several pages for every doctor with pictures to tell the story. It will be on the site Movellas on the 23rd of November, and it is called Doctor Who: 50th anniversary poem.

October 19th, 2013 - 8:12pmHave fun there guys! I’m hoping to download a few classics from iTunes and have a weekend of watching VHS/Downloads and listening to audios and reading books, might do some animation of my Character Building series or something too.

TheBritishCupOfTea
October 19th, 2013 - 5:47pmI’m starting to get a bit annoyed now. It’s 4-5 weeks until the episode, and there is no trailer.

October 19th, 2013 - 1:22pmI was hoping we’d notice John Hurt’s face in between 8 and 9 there!

Doctor, 13
October 19th, 2013 - 9:58amIf we don’t get an actual trailer by the 23rd October then I give up hope!
Mister

Some bloke
October 19th, 2013 - 11:55amBut it’s not an ‘actual’ trailer, it sounds more like an amalgamation of doctor who clips from stories from the past 50 years. No footage of ‘The Day of the Docotr’

October 19th, 2013 - 9:49amSounds good but I want to see footage from the Special, BBC have messed up big time not showing us!

October 19th, 2013 - 8:19amWhen I look at that picture it show the 11 Dr Who dolls I got that I bought 3 years ago.

October 19th, 2013 - 7:13amGrrr! I want to see something from the special! What is wrong with them? How much is it to ask to just have some footage at the end?
Cyberking281
October 19th, 2013 - 6:22amI wonder when we’ll get a proper trailer for the 50th including actual footage from The Day Of The Doctor, but i am still looking forward to seeing this π
Dr Grey
October 19th, 2013 - 2:30amI will be watching the trailer and I will be watching the 50th anniversary episode. Already booked the night off work
Doctor Stu
October 19th, 2013 - 12:54amI wonder why it only says ‘with’ billie piper instead of ‘starring billie piper’ surely she should be classed as a star.

October 19th, 2013 - 10:48amGetting “with” or “and” is actually really great billing. Billie and Liz Sladen were billed as “with” and “and” for the stolen earth and journey’s end and they both had a lot to do π
Doctor Stu
October 19th, 2013 - 5:36pmI suppose so but I wonder why we haven’t seen any pictures or even mentions of her filming
matparks08
October 19th, 2013 - 12:36amlooking at that picture and I fly back to my earliest memories of this fantastic show (Five Doctors) and how it came to be a major part of my life for the next 30+ years. There’s no show like it and I hope it continues for another 50 years!! Looking forward to seeing what the trailer will be like.
