As you said here Wibbs, She's only been billed as Billie Piper so far, no character name given yet......

ORLY? Hmmm.

Maybe one way to have her as someone 10 and 11 recognise, yet not be Rose is for her to be rose and one heart wonders daughter? The Docs and her all in the same scene together, so it would be a bit of a stretch to have her as someone completely new. For a start 10 and 11 would be "here, that's the absolute spittin image of the bird I used to have the special tinglies for". It would be like having Alex Kingston back as not River Song(unless only craggy Doc can see her?). Like I reckoned from a while back she may be one of the bigger surprises in the show. Whatever is goin on fair play to Moffat in advance.

I think it's pretty cool how little of the plot of this story has been revealed, considering were just over a week away.
Whereas several different sources have been able to leek most of the entire plot of the Xmas special.

Children in Need tonight should have a clip or a teaser for the 50th hopefully

Anyone going to the London Convention on Friday next? If you are can you pm me, I need to ask you something!

It's probably the first minute or so, based on recent years.

It'd be too good if it was this 4 minute "the last day" thing...

The Master

Hopefully it's the pre-credits scene -

That allegedly see Clara teaching in Coal Hill School, maybe even with Ian Chasterton involved....

To paraphrase someone from another forum when talking about The Night Of The Doctor

"Hopefully we get something juicy, and not Matt arseing around in a Fez for 7 minutes"

I've deliberately being (been?) staying away from articles about this but, yeah, it is cool that they've kept it pretty much spoiler free. Kind of reminds me of the first episode of last season when nobody knew about Clara/Oswin.

Moffat answering questions about The Night Of The Doctor.

After reading

With the last question it doesnt look like he'll show Hurt regenerate into Eccleston

I misread it at first and thought it said in the anniversary show/celebrations, not this year. That said, he is probably still being misleading.

TheIrishGrover

So many shaded out spoilers...... SO MANY........

Sleepy

Response to Coldzone/Raphael:

Read the last paragraph again:

"the ‘box set man’ in me wants every box ticked and I wanted every regeneration scene!"

Which would imply he at least wants the Hurt / Ecllestone regeneration to happen...

Well there's no doubt that he wants the Hurt/Ecclestone regeneration to happen. Problem is will Ecclestone sign up for it? It's all been very quiet there. I'm hoping that they're just working really hard to keep it a secret so it's a huge surprise but I'm not that hopeful. Moffat also said 2 regenerations in the anniversary year. That would be McGann -> Hurt and Smith -> Capaldi

IMDB can be edited by anyone, just like Wikipedia. I wouldn't trust it 100%.

Children in Need is on tonight & they showed a brief 2 minute clip; obviously if you want to remain unsullied for next week, don't watch it.
Edit: replaced the unofficial recording with a version straight from the BBC

Can it? I knew the trivia and goofs section could, but I assumed the actual credits would be fairly well monitored for accuracy

Finally caught up on all these. So excited!!!

Just missed an ad on BBC as my father in law flicked the channel, looked like the 1st doctor in colour but not like the first teaser trailer.

Anyone see it?

Daemos

Was probably the trailer for An Adventure in Space and Time

Just started this week, BBC Radio 4 Extra is letting Doctor Who take over the entire overnight schedule all this week.
What is happening is that the first hour of an audio Doctor Who story from either AudioGo (BBC Audio) or Big Finish on the normal 7th Dimension slot between 1800 and 1900 every night and then it's repeated and concluded from midnight later that night
Last night we had William Russell reading the entire Doctor Who and the Daleks novelization. The whole thing is of course on iPlayer and the good news is because it's radio you don't need any location blockers to enjoy it.
Tonight (Sunday) we get a 7th Doctor Big Finish adventure, Protect and Survive
Monday we get Fanfare For The Common Men, a relatively new release from Big Finish starring the 5th Doctor.
Tuesday we get Thousand Tiny Wings, another 7th Doctor outing from Big Finish
Wednesday its Farewell Great Macedon, an unproduced script for the 1st Doctor series which Big Finish adapted for audio in a line they call 'The Lost Stories' and have William Russell and Carole Ann Ford act out the story in a sort of audio book style.
Thursday we get Human Resources, An 8th Doctor adventure where the Doctor holds an competition in the style of 'The Apprentice' to find a new companion for himself.
Friday we come back to AudioGo for Dalek Invasion Of Earth, William Russell again reads the Target novel based on the 1st Doctor story of the same name. Dalek voices this time are provided by Nicholas Briggs
On Saturday, from 1600 to 1900 there will be a documentary called 'Who Made Who' so the next story won't air until midnight, that's another 8th Doctor story called Lucie Millar
Finally Sunday sees the conclusion to that story To the Death aired.

Hopefully you'll find something in there to your taste.

Thanks, i meant to say what was the plot on the xmas special, as the trailer for the 50th is the same one i spotted on the red button which is on repeat til bout 10pm.

pixelburp

Speaking of Xmas, given how close it is, and how we know it's going to be Matt Smitth's last, I presume we'll get a trailer for it at the end of Day of the Doctor. I don't recall seeing anything about filming or the production of it; perhaps with all the talk of the 50th anniversary, it slipped under the radar for people. I'd usually keep an ear out for set reports or rumours, but the internet seems oddly quiet. That's a nice change

Wibbs

Love the NZ accent.

For all my previous "who is Rose exactly" stuff, I'm thinking simple(ish) is best. Bad Wolf. Yep. That old explanation. Like the nerd I am I thought I'd rewatch the old episode when she went all glow eyes first and I noticed something. The Dalek emperor when he sees her first says "this is the abomination"(only he says it like abominaaaaaatiooooon as they will ) and the rest of them go all exterminaty at this, like there is some recognition of her from before. Secondly I only noticed(duh) that the poster for the film has the words "bad wolf" writ large. So I reckon this is what Moffat noted in the old stuff and jumped on this as a way how he brings her back, without actually bringing her back a la chavvie Rose. She is/was/will be(timey wimey) The Abomination(capital letters). One of the factors that stops the time war. This would explain her getup and her voice and her presence in the 50th.

I've only found this on wikipedia whether its believable or not?

In August 2013, Moffat stated in an interview that the Christmas episode would tie together the remaining story strands from the Eleventh Doctor era, some of which were introduced as far back as Production on the episode was scheduled to start on 8 September. Owing to his work on the film buzz cut
In September 2013, it was revealed that the Cybermen would feature in the Christmas episode, when one of the show's regular stunt artists, Darrelle ‘Daz’ Parker, that she would be playing a Cyberman. This would make it the second time that the Cybermen have appeared in a regeneration story, following The Tenth Planet and the second time the Cybermen have appeared in a Christmas special, after The Next Doctor in 2008..

Also i found this Paul McGann interview very interesting when asked at 5.11 if he's in the 50th & admits

he's on the anniv stamp

Funnily enough this was in 2009 & he was a bit more miffed in this
Paul McGann talks about returning to Doctor Who
