Daleks’ Return For The 50th Special First official Images
Daleks’ Return For The 50th Special First official Image!
From the official site
The BBC has announced that the Doctor’s most famous foes, the Daleks, will return to Doctor Who in the show’s fiftieth anniversary special. We’ll bring you more news about the adventure as it emerges, but for now, here’s the latest press release in full:
MATT SMITH, DAVID TENNANT AND JOHN HURT TO FACE OFF AGAINST DALEKS IN 50th ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL
The Doctors, Matt Smith, David Tennant and John Hurt will battle the deadly Daleks, the BBC announces today, in the show’s 50th anniversary special.
Returning to BBC One on 23 November the highly anticipated adventure will star: Matt Smith; Jenna Coleman; David Tennant; Billie Piper; John Hurt and Joanna Page. In a surprise twist in the recent series finale it was revealed John Hurt would be playing a Doctor, alongside Smith and Tennant.
The Daleks are the second monster to be announced for the 50th and will join the shape shifting Zygons, which have only appeared in the show once before in 1975. The Daleks were one of the first monsters to terrify audiences in 1963, 50 years ago, cementing their place in British popular culture.
Steven Moffat, lead writer and executive producer, said:
“The Doctor once said that you can judge a man by the quality of his enemies, so it’s fitting that for this very special episode, he should be facing the greatest enemies of all.”
The 50th anniversary episode was shot earlier this year at BBC Cymru Wales’ Roath Lock Studios in Cardiff and across South Wales. Filming also took place in iconic London locations the Tower of London and Trafalgar Square for a huge stunt, which saw Matt Smith dangling from a TARDIS alongside Nelson’s Column.

July 22nd, 2013 - 2:00pmI reckon it is time war as well 😀 looks great
Are they gonna be in it through the whole of the film? I really hope this will be epic! I reckon we won’t see doctor who for a whole year after this because of the budget I reckon they have spent ALOT on this

July 22nd, 2013 - 1:42pmAgreed Doctor Who is a British programme America is pretty new to it. It isn’t exactly fair if people like us who live where it’s made and part of our culture have to be kept in the dark about it.

Some bloke
July 22nd, 2013 - 1:30pmand anyway, that means having christopher eccleston involved, which he’s not
Some bloke
July 22nd, 2013 - 1:29pmwe wont see 8 regenerate into 9, because john hurt is meant to be a form of doctor inbetween those two incarnations
Some bloke
July 22nd, 2013 - 1:28pmyes it is supposed to be the time war. As you can see by the background, they are on gallifrey
TheDoctorGallifrey
July 22nd, 2013 - 1:23pmI am 98% sure that this is the time war, look at all the destruction and orangey atmosphere, maybe we’ll see how 8th regenerated into 9th! I can’t wait! I’m not sure how Clara didn’t get ‘torn apart’ by the time winds when she saved the Doctor though.

July 22nd, 2013 - 12:59pmMaybe they should have shown it to the license paying British public at the proms..
That would have been far more appropriate
Some bloke
July 22nd, 2013 - 12:58pmdunno why this was taken down but… I don’t think we will get the trailer. At least not for some time. Moffat said at the comic con panel that it was an exclusive to comic con so…
Some bloke
July 22nd, 2013 - 12:49pmI don’t think we will be getting it any time soon. Moffat said at the comic con panel, that it was an exclusive only to comic con so…

The Moffat Paradox
July 22nd, 2013 - 11:45amAlthough this could be scenes from the Time War which would make sense.

July 22nd, 2013 - 11:14amAlthough I am annoyed the paradigm daleks aren’t in it! What is the point in making a new dalek if your not gonna develop it!!! it’s actually really annoyed me!
DALEKSKITTLES
July 22nd, 2013 - 11:10amI reckon in the last episode when we met John hurts that was in the time war as it looked a lot like those scenes in them pictures of the daleks! Apparently they are the main enemy in this. Personally I love the daleks!
