Trailer: DOCTOR WHO – 'The Day of The Doctor' 50th anniversary special

Saturday 9 November 2013

Ahead of its televised debut tonight on BBC1 just before Atlantis, the official trailer for Doctor Who's 50th anniversary special, "The Day of The Doctor", has debuted online. Click above (as if you haven't already) to get a taste of what's in store!

Looks impressive, eh? Kind of like they've spent 5x the usual budget for a 75-minute pseudo-movie (which will indeed be shown in selected cinemas next Saturday). John Hurt looks great, there are clearly some epic battle sequences and special effects to be gawped at, the Zygons are present, Daleks, Gallifrey, and the glimpse of a fez'd Matt Smith and David Tennant together made me smile. I also appreciate how this trailer doesn't spoil the joy of seeing their two Doctors interacting, too, which was a worry. I want the actual episode to be where I feel the fun of that.

"The Day of The Doctor" debuts around the world, simultaneously in some territories, on 23 November 2013 at 7.50pm. (GMT)
