David Tennant and Billie Piper will star alongside Matt Smith, Jenna-Louise Coleman, John Hurt and Joanna Page in a special ninety minute episode that is being filmed in 3D and shown both on tv and in UK cinemas this November to celebrate the shows fiftieth year.
Rumour has it that River will reunite previous incarnations of the doctor against his wishes, a popular rumour lent some credence by its appearance in the Mirror newspaper and popular Who sites this would however be difficult for the show to pull off, given that the remaining doctors are a lot older and would have to look as they did before they regenerated.
But, given the shows precedence for reuniting the doctors (the tenth and twentieth anniversaries were both celebrated with episodes that bought back the previous doctors), this is one rumour that will likely be true and indeed the shows stars and producers have affirmed that the show will be "epic", with Steven Moffat calling it "a love letter to the fans".What is known, other than the return of David Tennant and Billie Piper for the episode, is that one of the doctors old enemies, the Zygons, will return.
This years series offers fans two mysteries, that of who or what Clara really is....and the doctors greatest secret. Yes it's official that this year we learn the doctors secret, but what that secret is no one is letting on although it seems likely the revelation will feature in the special fiftieth anniversary episode later this year.
A 3D feature length episode of the show reuniting at least some previous doctors and their companions, and featuring such acting talent as John Hurt is already enough to get some fans looking forward to it but no doubt more details will continue to emerge.
