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.

    I think it’s only right that the Daleks are in the 50th, as they are almost as old as the show itself! Cannot wait to see what terror the Doctors will face

      he is apparently meant be the 9th doctor just after the 8th , im not quite sure but I read this somewhere, they described that if he was the 9th doctor then David tenant would of been the 11th and matt smith would be the 12, it also commented saying that it would contradict its self so the bbc have decided to make the doctor immortal to carry on the show but like I said im not sure I just read this 🙂

    With the comment that the zygons are returing in and we know they are shape shifters could the daleks be zygons in disugise?

    Thinking about it, curtain questions concerning the Time War might finally be answered after all these years, like “What exactly was the Nightmare Child ?”, and “What exactly was ‘The Cruciform’ the Master himself was resurrected to protect before the Emperor Dalek took control over it ?”.

    I for one would love to see new version of Romana appear in the 50th Anniversary, leading her people against the Daleks before Rassilon took over, and see Davros’s command ship fly into the jaws of the Nightmare Child, leaving us knowing full well that he survives and ends up in the series 4 finale.

    Plus we could see also the creation of the Cult of Skaro by the Emperor Dalek himself 😉

      Don’t be surprised if the 50th “special ” is really a damp squib and if the kind of things your talking about cant get fitted in outside of it being discussed by the characters.

      But that’s not the same thing as seeing it outside of our imaginations and would probably require an episode about as long as the whole special is going to be it all to itself with a ton of money for the set/effects to do it justice.

      So far nobody has posted the trailer online as at Comic Con, they were told that if anyone posted the trailer online there would be no more exclusives at Comic Con again.

      That’s ok, cos if they stopped making trailers exclusive to Comic-Con, in it would be fair on the rest of us 🙂

    Besides the trailer screening controversy surely revealing whose the 12th Doctor should be imminent?

    I thought production of the Christmas Special and Series 8 had to get started from round about now?
