BBC has released the first official images from the upcoming Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special, The Day of The Doctor.
Teaming up for the fist time are Matt Smith and David Tennant as the Eleventh and Tenth Doctors. Joining them is John Hurt as a still unidentified incarnation of the iconic Time Lord, though speculation predominately points to an unseen version that existed between Paul McGann’s Eighth and Christopher Eccleston’s Ninth. Jenna Coleman will be on hand as The Doctor’s current companion Clara Oswald, and Billie Piper is set to return as Rose Tyler.
The half century in the making episode will have a worldwide simulcast on November 23rd, and have additional 3D presentations in select movies theaters. I was a lucky attendee of the NYC premiere of Asylum of the Daleks at the iconic Ziegfeld Theater, and it was an amazing experience to watch the Doctor on the big screen. I urge you to experience Day of the Doctor in a theater full of your fellow Whovians if you have the opportunity in your town.
Additionally from BBC:
