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, β€˜The Day of the Doctor’, 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.

    guys 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

      But 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.

    what 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.
    Have a read on the day! i have already written the 1st doctor’s part!

      Have 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.

      I’m starting to get a bit annoyed now. It’s 4-5 weeks until the episode, and there is no trailer.

    I was hoping we’d notice John Hurt’s face in between 8 and 9 there!

    If we don’t get an actual trailer by the 23rd October then I give up hope!

      It’s on tonight at 8:20

    • Some bloke

      October 19th, 2013 - 11:55am

      But 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’

    Sounds good but I want to see footage from the Special, BBC have messed up big time not showing us!

    When I look at that picture it show the 11 Dr Who dolls I got that I bought 3 years ago.

    October 19th, 2013 - 7:13am

    Grrr! 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 - 6:22am

    I 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 πŸ˜‰

    I will be watching the trailer and I will be watching the 50th anniversary episode. Already booked the night off work

    I wonder why it only says ‘with’ billie piper instead of ‘starring billie piper’ surely she should be classed as a star.

      Getting “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 πŸ™‚

    • Doctor Stu

      October 19th, 2013 - 5:36pm

      I suppose so but I wonder why we haven’t seen any pictures or even mentions of her filming

    looking 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.
