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 - 5:23pmWell we might get to see Davros, since he was there only for the very first year of the Time War, plus we might see the Emperor Dalek from series 1 and the Cult of Skaro from series 2 and 3 again, but we will just have to wait and see.

July 22nd, 2013 - 5:20pmI thought the BBC was the British Broadcasting Corporation and not the American so all such trailers should get shown in this island first.

July 22nd, 2013 - 4:52pmI reckon they should use the new ones but change the colours, so the dark red for them all apart from the supreme which is dark grey/silver. No ranks or anything, just like they used to be but a different design.

July 22nd, 2013 - 4:51pmFINGERS CROSSED!! Although when we see the time war, it is most likely only going to be in a flash back form or two minute scene with john hurt in, so it’s unlikely that we’ll see davros. But we can hope! 😀

July 22nd, 2013 - 4:49pmit,s just like fans who like Timelash. fans opinions r good

July 22nd, 2013 - 4:48pmElisabeth the first
Some bloke
July 22nd, 2013 - 4:47pmnot all of them were bronze, some were daleks ranging throughout the 20th century series and besides, the new paradigm daleks are a sort of elite force, there won’t be loads of them and because they are an elite force makes them stronger than the rest and less likely to end up in the asylum

July 22nd, 2013 - 4:46pmSo, IF … this is the Time War…. might we not get….
Davros?

July 22nd, 2013 - 4:16pmno pug dalek, these daleks have been used because those images are set during the time war. It’s nothing to do with fans opinions or anyone living in the past, it’s just common sense.

July 22nd, 2013 - 3:43pmSorry – this post relates to the amazing fake trailer on Youtube, great visual FX shots.
Andrew
July 22nd, 2013 - 3:41pmYes, just watched the making of video – looks amazing, hope the real thing is as good! 🙂
Some bloke
July 22nd, 2013 - 3:37pmit IS a fake. The guy who uploaded it even put up a video on how he made it. That’s been up for a while now
Andrew
July 22nd, 2013 - 3:35pmAh… actually it looks like a very, very clever fake! 🙁

July 22nd, 2013 - 3:34pmThere is a 3D trailer on Youtube… if you search for Doctor Who 50th anniversary (don’t add ‘trailer’). Shows TARDIS on fire, a spooky subway station, Tennant, etc..? Looks good!

July 22nd, 2013 - 3:18pmI assumed that they just weren’t as popular and that why they aren’t used as much

July 22nd, 2013 - 3:03pmI reckon when when the G.I stepped into his time line something happened that will always make the Daleks remember him!
daryl
July 22nd, 2013 - 3:01pmLooks like the Time War! I think Hurt is the Doctors consous (dont know if thats spelt right?) and and he is recalling all the geatest regrets in the doctors life i.e the Time War.
The Daleks will hopefully be in it al the way through!
Some bloke
July 22nd, 2013 - 2:50pmyeah these are the daleks from the time war and anyway, the big white, red, yellow, blue and orange daleks are somewhat of an elite group, so they wont be there all the time, and anyway I don’t really like the big daleks, the just don’t feel right. They remind me of the daleks from the 2 cushing movies (which they are based on) and I didn’t like them either!

July 22nd, 2013 - 2:25pmThere’s a trailer description online and it sounds great!
Some bloke
July 22nd, 2013 - 2:17pmdoubt it will be any time soon or at all

July 22nd, 2013 - 2:13pmDoes anyone know when the trailer is released?

July 22nd, 2013 - 2:09pmIf it wasn’t for us back in 1963 who watched the programme then the BBC would’ve axed it due to low viewing figures and it would have only been An Unearthly Child.

July 22nd, 2013 - 2:00pmTotally agree its British we should get the best!
