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 - 9:07pmAhh… He possibly could have made one though, he is still a genius, even if he isn’t an alien. That could be why he’s comparing it too… Just a theory 🙂

July 22nd, 2013 - 9:01pmMoffat has no empathy on us who watched it first before them, get a life Moffat!!!
Some bloke
July 22nd, 2013 - 8:47pmi wonder what actually happened to him? He obviously didn’t kill him off in the end of journey’s end after one appearance in 21st century who, so I wonder how he escaped. Maybe he ’emergency temporal shift-ed’ out of the crucible or escape pod like in remembrance
Some bloke
July 22nd, 2013 - 8:44pmconsidering they wont show the time war in full, it will either be a flashback or a two minute scene with john hurt in. They will NEVER show the time war in full. The exact events will always be up for debate

The Moffat Paradox
July 22nd, 2013 - 7:40pmBut surely it is the BBC if it doesn’t bring Moffat properly to heel where that’s concerned.
Some bloke
July 22nd, 2013 - 7:35pmmost likely
Scott
July 22nd, 2013 - 7:33pmI’m not annoyed so much about that but more that he practically threatened people if they leaked the trailer and why do we miss out because of different circumstances meaning we don’t get to go to comic con

July 22nd, 2013 - 7:30pmI wonder if this is showing a flashback of the time war, if it is that would be so cool.
TheWhomobile
July 22nd, 2013 - 7:30pmYeah but anything we get will be released online where anyone can see it so it’d hardly be for us Brits
booboo
July 22nd, 2013 - 7:10pmProbably the most anticipated trailer in the history of Doctor Who and its shown to a select few whilst the rest of us go begging, quite bizarre
DoctorArkham
July 22nd, 2013 - 7:07pmIts not the BBC it’s Moffat.
DoctorArkham
July 22nd, 2013 - 7:06pmI don’t think he is because in the trailer desription, it says Tennant is comparing his screwdriver with Smith’s and the Metacrisis Doctor doesn’t have a screwdriver.
DoctorArkham
July 22nd, 2013 - 7:03pmOh yeah, to make matters worse, Steven Moffat threatened fans that if the trailer gets leaked, he will prevent any Doctor Who Exclusives at Comic-Con from happening ever again.

July 22nd, 2013 - 5:50pmNobody likes the new Daleks so they just tend to hang about in the background and the RTD Daleks are the main ones.

July 22nd, 2013 - 5:26pmThe BBC has no respect for the fans that pay for the show and without fan surport the show would still be off air. Because of this I have no respected for the BBC.
