David Tennant and Billie Piper Will Return For the 'Doctor Who' 50th Anniversary Special

Let all the timey whimey fun begin! It's official: The Tenth and Eleventh Doctors will cross paths!

The big Who news of the morning is big. BBC has confirmed via their website and official Doctor Who Twitter feed that David Tennant and Billie Piper are on board for the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special set to air on November 23rd.

The highly anticipated episode starts shooting in 3D this week. Today's official announcement also allows BBC to herald their high profile return on their own terms. With the episode's shooting start date upon us, Tennant and Piper are now safe to film exterior scenes and be photographed by fans or paps without the fear of them lifting Who's typical shroud of secrecy.

My next question is: 'Who else?"

#DoctorWho50th: David Tennant and Billie Piper to return for blockbuster celebrations with John Hurt also confirmed: bbc.in/113uh1K
— Doctor Who Official (@bbcdoctorwho) March 30, 2013

From BBC:

"David Tennant and Billie Piper to return for blockbuster celebrations with John Hurt also confirmed.

The BBC has today revealed some of the all-star cast that will mark the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who. David Tennant and Billie Piper will join current Doctor and companion, Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman, while John Hurt (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Alien, Harry Potter) will also co-star. 

Last seen as the Doctor on January 1st 2010, this will be the first time Tennant has reprised his role as the Tenth Doctor. During his reign as the Time Lord, Tennant appeared in three series as well as several specials. He was first revealed as the Doctor in the 2005 series finale, ‘The Parting of the Ways’. 

Meanwhile Billie Piper, who played companion Rose Tyler for two series following the reboot in 2005, will appear in the show for the first time since featuring in Tennant’s last episode, ‘The End of Time’ in 2010.

Also confirmed to join the cast is John Hurt who will also co-star in the 3D anniversary special that will form part of blockbuster celebrations, set to take over the BBC. Produced by BBC Cymru Wales for BBC One, the 50th anniversary will be written by Steven Moffat and Directed by Nick Hurran. 

Filming for the 50th anniversary starts this week. Meanwhile a brand new series starts on BBC ONE today (30 March) at 6:15pm for a run of eight epic episodes, which officially introduces the Doctor’s newest companion, Clara Oswald, played by Jenna-Louise Coleman."

An additional factor into the announcement may have been the early the revelation in latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine, which was sent out to subscribers earlier than scheduled this weekend.

The return of the Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler is the first big casting news regarding the long awaited episode, which has been the object of relentless speculation regarding which, if any, of the previous Doctors or companions would join Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman.

In January, Tennant claimed he "knew nothing" about the 50th Special when he was a guest on The Jonathan Ross Show, but was nonetheless warned by the BBC to keep mum on the matter.

Doctor Who returns to the airwaves tonight on BBC America at 8PM with the mid-season premiere The Bells of Saint John.

Doctor Who's Jenna-Louise Coleman On The Who and What About Clara Oswin Oswald

"You're the impossible girl, the only mystery worth solving," so says the Doctor in describing his new companion Clara, played by Jenna-Louise Coleman.

With the Doctor Who machine raging on as we rapidly approach the show's highly anticipated mid-season premiere this Saturday night, Access Hollywood caught up in person with Jenna, who as fans know will be making her third first appearance on the iconic British sci-fi show. 

The actress confirms that the Clara we meet in this week's episode The Bells of Saint John is in fact, a entirely new character. But we will have to wait and see how it all ties together in the typical mind bending Who fashion we have become accustomed to.
While she was as expected tight lipped regarding juicy details on the show's 50th Anniversary Special, she not only revealed shooting the landmark episode is imminent, but that her Grandma has plans to visit the super secret set.

"Well, I think she’s gonna come on set when we’re filming the 50th, which she’s very excited about. She’s gonna be patting Matt a lot. Matt’s her favorite Doctor," she told Access. "I can’t wait. I’ve got a new draft of the script to read today, We’re shooting in 3D."

Following the quick kiss between the Doctor and Clara in the 2012 Christmas Special The Snowmen, where Coleman played a version of the mysterious character in Victorian-era London, would romance carry over into the modern day incarnation who will be at the Doctor's side for the remainder of the season?

"Um, I think well, we start Series Seven and it’s very much like, we haven’t met this Clara before. So we start the story again. So what happens in the Christmas episode doesn't necessarily carry on through. So there’s, I think there’s definitely always a certain level of kind of a frisson and a flirtation and kind of a form of attraction always between the Doctor and his companions," Coleman said.

"I think that’s one thing you always want to know, is it going to be a romance story between the Doctor and the companion, but I think, that you know, there’s so much more at work here and I kind of don’t want to give anything away going into the series, but it’s a new start again. It’s a completely, it’s a different character, it’s a different girl and we’ll, we will all understand why," she revealed.

Utmost secrecy is a must for all things Who these days. Among other things, Coleman revealed her code name was "Men On Waves" during the audition process for the role of the new Who companion.

"'Men on Waves,' which is an anagram, which I figured out later, for 'Woman Seven,'" Coleman recalled. "And so when you’re going into the BBC, and you know you have all these code names and talking to your agent on the phone, it’s ‘So, men on waves…’"

And when it came to strong female leads for Coleman to check out to prepare for playing Clara, Matt Smith suggested an iconic character few would argue with.

"Do you know, again, something Matt suggested that I watch, which I really enjoyed, was the first Indiana Jones movie. And that was brilliant for Doctor Who and I loved the fact that she [Marion Ravenwood] wasn’t the damsel in distress. It was quite fiery and you know, she wasn’t kind of just the helpless woman I suppose. So that was great to watch, between those two."

No stopping the Who locomotive now with a week to go until the series returns with the mid-season premiere. Earlier today we saw a prequel scene to The Bells of Saint John hit the web, now BBC has set forth the full trailer for the first of eight new Doctor Who episodes.

The Doctor tracks down the modern day counterpart of Clara Oswin Oswald, and the new adventures begin...

But something dangerous is lurking in the signals, picking off minds and imprisoning them. As Clara becomes the target of this insidious menace, the Doctor races to save her and the world from an ancient enemy."

The Doctor Gets Advice In This Prequel Short to 'The Bells of Saint John'

Check out this touching prequel short just released by BBC to next weekend's big Doctor Who mid-season premiere The Bells of Saint John. The Doctor (Matt Smith) remains baffled by the mystery surrounding Clara (Jenna-Louise Coleman) following the events of December's The Snowmen. While taking a break when his search for her turns up empty, the Time Lord gets some unexpected advice in a playground. Even though this short clip clocks in at only about 2:30 minutes, don't think for a second that Who mastermind Steven Moffat wouldn't find time to effectively screw with our heads.

Doctor Who returns this Saturday on March 30th in the first of an eight episode run with The Bells of Saint John at 8PM on BBC America.

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:

"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.

Two New Preview Clips From 'Doctor Who: The Snowmen' Just In Time For Christmas!

We have two new sneak preview clips to enjoy before tomorrow night's annual Doctor Who Christmas Special makes its worldwide debut.

The Snowmen is the last new adventure in 2012 for the Doctor and marks the highly anticipated debut of Jenna Louise-Coleman as his new companion Clara in a Victorian-era timeline (which is a far cry from the surprise and baffling appearance she made as Oswin in Asylum of the Daleks set hundreds of years in the future).

In addition, there promises to be an updated title sequence and theme, as well a make-over for the TARDIS, which has sported a very earth toned and worn steampunk look for the past several years. The new aesthetic is a homage to the simpler look of control rooms of the past and reflects darker mood that is hinted to go along with the Doctor's state of mind heading into the second wave of Who's current season and 50th Anniversary.

Also be sure to check out the Doctor Who Adventure Calendar, which has been unlocking a new behind-the-scenes video for each day in December as the countdown to The Snowmen continues.

From BBC:

"Christmas Eve 1892, and the falling snow is the stuff of fairy-tales. When the fairy-tale becomes a nightmare and a chilling menace threatens Earth, an unorthodox young governess, Clara, calls on the Doctor for help. But the Doctor is in mourning, reclusive and determined not to engage in the problems of the universe. As old friends return, will the Doctor really abandon humankind or will he fight to save the world – and Christmas – from the icy clutches of this mysterious menace. 

This year’s Doctor Who Christmas Special, The Snowmen, introduces a new companion, a new look for the Doctor, plus a new monster in this movie-scale episode. Starring Matt Smith as the Doctor and introducing Jenna-Louise Coleman as new companion Clara, The Snowmen follows their adventures as they embark on a mission to save Christmas from the villainous Doctor Simeon (Richard E Grant, The Iron Lady, Dracula) and his army of icy snowmen."

Doctor Who: The Snowmen airs here on BBC America on Christmas Day at 9PM.

New TARDIS Revealed For 'Doctor Who' Christmas Special

BBC announced this week there will be a revamped theme, opening titile sequence and teased a new design for the TARDIS when we next see the Doctor in the The Snowmen, the annual Doctor Who Christmas Special set to air on BBC America on December 25th.

We now have a full reveal of the Doctor's new threads and the updated console in the revamped control room of the iconic time machine. Jettisoning the recent crowded and very used steam punk aesthetic, this is certainly a look that pays homage to the TARDIS sets of the past, which seems appropriate with the series heading into its 50th Anniversary next year.

These new images from The Snowmen were also released, showing that the Doctor and his new companion Clara get friendly rather quickly in the episode.

TRAILER - Doctor Who Christmas Special: 'The Snowmen'

Following the release of the first image revealing the Doctor's darker bow tie-less new look in the 2012 Doctor Who Christmas Special, the title of this year's annual special has been revealed in addition to the full trailer.

Matt Smith and new companion Jenna-Louise Coleman provide a special introduction to the new look at The Snowmen, which is scheduled to air here on BBC America on Christmas Day.

Jenna-Louise Coleman made an unexpected appearance as Oswin in the seventh season premiere, Asylum of the Daleks, and apparently playing a completely different character than Clara, the new companion set to be introduced in the Christmas Special.

Smith and Coleman do not ignore this fact in the fun video intro to The Snowmen's sneak peek. And undoubtedly, these pieces will all fit together perfectly in the grand scheme of the Doctor Who puzzle. 

According to BBC: "A new companion, a new look for the Doctor, plus a new monster will all be introduced in this movie-scale episode. Starring Matt Smith as the Doctor and introducing Jenna-Louise Coleman as new companion Clara, The Snowmen follows their adventures as they embark on a mission to save Christmas from the villainous Doctor Simeon (Richard E Grant, The Iron Lady, Dracula) and his army of icy snowmen. "

"The Doctor at Christmas is one of my favorite things - but this year it's different. He's lost Amy and Rory to the Weeping Angels, and he's not in a good place: in fact, he's Scrooge. He's withdrawn from the world and no longer cares what happens to it," said Steven Moffat, Who's Executive Producer and head writer in a press release.

"So when all of humanity hangs in the balance, can anyone persuade a tired and heartbroken Doctor that it's time to return to the good fight. Enter Jenna-Louise Coleman...”

Matt Smith added, “For this year’s Christmas special we have the wonderfully villainous Richard E Grant as Doctor Simeon. As well as lizards, Victorian assassins and deranged warriors from the future, who all return to convince the Doctor that he should board the TARDIS again and save the world. Add to that Jenna-Louise Coleman and so begins the Christmas Special 2012. I hope everyone enjoys it!”

The Doctor Who Christmas Special premieres December 25, 9:00pm ET.

DOCTOR WHO INTERVIEW - Matt Smith Reveals How The Doctor Would Spend A Night Out In NYC

In part two of my selections from Saturday's roundtable interview with Matt Smith that preceded the U.S. Premiere screening of Asylum of the Daleks, the actor revealed what he thought The Doctor might do on a night of fun in New York City.

It seemed appropriate to me to maintain a line of NYC questioning given Smith's enthusiastic love for the Big Apple, and I thought it would be fun to hear about the possible things the 900 year-old Time Lord would do with a few hours to burn.

I asked that this was provided that the Weeping Angels, the eerie popular villains in the upcoming The Angels Take Manhattan, were not hot on his tail to spoil all of the Doctor's fun.

"His ideal night in New York?" Smith contemplated about the iconic character for a moment with a grin, before coming up with a bunch of ideas.

"I think maybe go and play some jazz with Woody Allen for a bit," he speculated, and assumed the Doctor might love to partake in an impromptu slow jam with one of New York City's most prominent film directors at a small time club.

"Perhaps grab a steak at Balthazar," having the insight that the Time Lord's palette has now moved beyond fish sticks and custard.

"Maybe go and stand on the top of the Statue of Liberty somehow."

"Take the TARDIS to the bottom of the Hudson see what's down there."

"I think he'd go back to the '40s or the '20s maybe, hang in Brooklyn and play baseball on the street."

But if there was one thing he was certain of regarding the Doctor's big night out, "He'd do it in a brilliant way," he said.

Doctor Who's seventh season premiere, Asylum of the Daleks, is set to air this Saturday at 9pm on BBC America. The Angels Take Manhattan, which took the cast and crew to shoot in NYC for the very first time in the show's near 50-year history, is the fifth episode and final episode of the first half of the season, and will air on September 29th. the Doctor Who Christmas Special picks up the story from there.

DOCTOR WHO INTERVIEW - Matt Smith: "I Want To Shoot Every Episode of 'Doctor Who' In NYC"

Shortly before last Saturday's New York City screening of Doctor Who's fantastic seventh season premiere, Asylum of the Daleks, I was among the lucky select group invited to have an audience with Matt Smith and Karen Gillan for roundtable interviews at the headquarters of BBC America.

Since the Doctor makes few house calls in NYC, it was without question an incredibly exciting opportunity for a Who fan who also happens to run a website like this.

In a roundtable interview, journalists are grouped at a table and take turns asking questions. My group was polite and cordial, and we each managed to get in a question or two in both the time slots we had with Smith and Gillan, who were extremely down to earth and forthcoming.

As a native New Yorker, I was very interested to know what Matt's impressions were of finally getting to shoot Britain's iconic Doctor Who in the Big Apple last April, which was the first time the show did so in its near 50 year history. So appropriately, that was the first question I asked him.

"First and foremost, I want to shoot every episode of Doctor Who in New York,' he said altogether with sincerity, enthusiasm, a big smile.

Shooting the episode. The Angels Take Manhattan, left a lasting impression on the actor. "I love this city. I love filming here. Everywhere you point the camera there is something brilliant to look at. I love this city, I just love it."

He also agreed when it was brought up that NYC can be considered a universe unto itself, "It really is."

Smith's answer on Saturday was a satisfying two years in the making response. I attended the event held at the Paley Center For Media in April of 2010, where Matt's debut episode as the Doctor was screened. Taking the stage in front of press and fans alike in a Q&A following that screening, he was at the time in awe of his very first NYC experience.

"I could live here. I love it here. What a city! You’ve got everything here man. So cool.”

Of course that response lead to the follow up of whether he would want to ever shoot across the pond. "I would love to do an episode here," he hoped. It should be noted that Executive Producer and Who showrunner Steven Moffat (on stage seated next to Smith and Gillan), had a simple more economic solution that night.

"It’s very easy to set us in New York. You know what will happen, you’ll be standing in front of a green cloth," he responded.

Thankfully the phenomenal success of Matt's run as the Doctor allowed them to finally do it, sans dreaded green cloth and all.

It was quite exciting to hear the rumors earlier this year (on the internet of course, where else do people like me get my hot geek gossip from?) that Doctor Who might be bringing production to New York City. Sure they have already been to the States, having filmed some of the sixth season premiere in Utah's Monument Valley, but The Doctor in NYC?  That was a whole 'nother thing altogether.

I heard my first real solid confirmation of this at an event in April that 'Alex Kingston's double had arrived in town,' so all the rumors seemed to be coming together. Sure enough, behind-the-scenes pictures surfaced online of the cast and crew shooting in Central Park and Times Square. In this day and age, it's impossible to shoot on location in New York City, or any exterior location for that matter, and not have pics turn up online.

But to see the Doctor actually standing in Times Square was quite exciting. Many additional images of Amy (Gillan), Rory (Arthur Darvill), and the Doctor in Central Park turned up online fairly quickly as well. They revealed very little conveying anything to do with the plot, but it didn't take long before the Weeping Angels had already been rumored/and or leaked as a the villains for the episode.

What also sets the NYC episode apart, scheduled to air in a few weeks, is that it marks the final appearance of the Ponds, the extremely popular husband and wife companions of the Doctor played by Gillan and Darvill. Their departure, from all accounts promises to be a true tear jerker of an episode, will make room for a new companion played by Jenna Louise Coleman, and introduced on the Doctor Who Christmas Special.

And after wishing us a good time at the screening at the Ziegfeld, Matt's thoughts on the season premiere set to air on Saturday at 9pm on BBC America?

"I think its a belter, I really do," he said.

Having seen it, don't miss it.

And to complete my Whovian experience, I was thrilled to shake the Doctor's hand on the way out of the room.

Check back here for what Matt had to say when I asked him what the Doctor would do on an ideal night of fun in New York City, in addition to Karen Gillan's Big Apple memories.  Plus I asked her to take us back to her final moments on the set of Doctor Who, shooting the last ever scene with the Doctor, Amy, and Rory in the TARDIS...

Matt Smith and Karen Gillan Hit 'Doctor Who' NYC Ziegfeld Premiere

New York City Whovians came out in full force yesterday, welcoming The Doctor himself Matt Smith to a standing room only screening at the Ziegfeld Theater.

BBC America hosted the special Doctor Who event for fans lucky enough to secure tickets made available last Thursday in an online frenzy, which cost eleven cents a head in honor of the current Doctor's 11th incarnation. The first two in line outside the theater had been camped out since midnight to secure prime seats to see Asylum of The Daleks, the upcoming seventh season premiere set to air on September 1st. Costumes were not in short supply, with many getting into their favorite characters for the occasion.

Smith and his Who co-star Karen Gillan arrived in DeLoreans, and were joined by executive producer Caroline Skinner, and Nerdist host Chris Hardwick, who moderated a Q&A following the screening. After pulling up to the premiere in the rival time machine made famous in Back To The Future, the TARDIS-less sci-fi stars posed for pictures and signed autographs for fans outside the legendary New York City theater.

In addition to attending the show, I also had the opportunity to participate in roundtable interviews with Smith and Gillan held prior to their arrival. Stay tuned, more on that to come.

Shortly before the screening was set to begin at 6pm, many of the anxious fans took out their sonic screwdrivers, and a sea of blue and green lights lit up the theater, in addition to clapping the rhythm a Time Lord's heartbeat to maintain an atmosphere of excitement.

Hardwick appeared first and made a note to honor Neil Armstrong, who had passed away earlier in the day. He then introduced the stars front and center to a rock star worthy reception. Before the lights dimmed, Matt Smith made a heartfelt request to the audience that spoilers regarding the episode be kept to themselves, until fans worldwide can enjoy all the revelations on September 1st when the episode airs. So while I will write up a review, I will not be doing so now. But I will say if the season premiere is any indication of the ride we are in for, it is going to be a stellar story arc. Cheers and a standing ovation ensued when the credits rolled. It was also a real treat to see it not only on the big screen, but at the Ziegfeld.

The iconic British show, which celebrates its 50th anniversary next year, has seen a huge resurgence in popularity since a big budget makeover in 2005. Since taking on the role, Matt Smith has made appearances in the Big Apple at screenings for each of his three season premieres. At the event for Smith's official debut as the eleventh Doctor at the Paley Center in April 2010, he made it known to that audience he hoped the show would shoot here at some point.

This past April, production indeed came to New York City for the first time to shoot the fifth episode of this upcoming season, and pictures swiftly surfaced online from scenes shot in Times Square and Central Park. The episode will not only see the return of the eerie villains The Weeping Angles, but mark the departure of The Doctor's popular companions, Gillan's Amy Pond and on-screen husband played by Arthur Darvill.

Check back here later this week for excerpts from the rountable interviews where I asked Matt about filming in New York City and Karen about the final moments shooting her last scene on the set of Doctor Who.

The Doctor Who seventh season premiere, Asylum of the Daleks, airs worldwide on September 1st.  Here in the States tune in to BBC America at 9pm.
