David Tennant Says He Still ‘Knows Nothing’ About The DOCTOR WHO 50th Anniversary… The BBC Thinks Otherwise…

So all us Whovians are more than aware of Doctor Who‘s big 50th Anniversary celebration set for later this year. Exactly what it will entail is still a highly guarded secret. Save for the previously announced made for TV-movie An Adventure In Space and Time which will chronicle the show’s genesis in the ’60s, a set of commemorative Who postal stamps, and a series of eBooks based on each of the Doctor’s identities, there has been scant official news from the BBC or show runner Steven Moffat. But just about everyone with a connection to the series, past and present, who has been asked in so many terms if they will be involved or invited to be involved, have claimed absolutely no knowledge of partaking.

David Tennant appeared as a guest on The Jonathan Ross Show and was accordingly grilled on what he knows. As par the course, Tennant revealed zilch about the possibility of reprising his role as the 10th Doctor. “I know nothing,” he asserted. But what is more interesting is that he revealed that a rep from the BBC, apparently terrified of leaks, followed the actor backstage and swore him to secrecy regarding the ‘nothing’ he knows.

Here is what he told Ross at about 2:45 into the clip below:

“I’ll tell you how terrified they are. In make-up, this lovely lady from the BBC came in and she said ‘I’ve been sent to say that anything about the Doctor Who 50th anniversary must not be mentioned on television.’ That’s how scared they are! I don’t know anything and they’re sending out spies to shut me up from telling you things I don’t know!”

All in due time. There have been more denials than anything else, and obviously what are the likes of Tennant going to do when interrogated live on camera while trying to maintain the strict shroud of secrecy that has been typically associated with the show? There is something grand planned, of that we can be certain. And frankly if Tom Baker agrees to put the scarf back on one last time to interact with Matt Smith, David Tennant and Peter Davison, I’d rather be surprised when the 50th Anniversary Special airs on November 23rd than read all about it online first.
