In a quick press release detailing the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Schedule, the BBC have revealed that the title of the special (which will air in 3D as well as in cinemas) will be called "Day Of The Doctor". It will be 75 minutes long and the now-leaving Matt Smith commented, saying "Hope you all enjoy. There's lots more coming your way.". The special was written by Steven Moffat and stars John Hurt, David Tennant and Matt Smith as the titular role. The special also involves Daleks and Zygons as the villains. The special episode will screen in 3D in select cinemas and on the BBC.

UPDATE: The BBC have removed the article revealing the details. The link below no longer works, but these details are 100% fact. You can click HERE for a screenshot of the article.

The BBC also detailed more plans about the 50th Anniversary, including "Restored Episodes" which you can read about by clicking HERE.

Matt Smith was also seen shooting the Christmas Special today with Jenna-Louise Coleman, sporting a familiar looking wig. Click HERE to see those photos. The Christmas special of Doctor Who is set to once again feature Cybermen (if a stuntman's tweet is to be believed) and will showcase Matt Smith's regeneration into Peter Capaldi.

Excellent.

I know there are people getting sick of the Daleks but I love em.
And Zygons havent been seen since the 70s so that pretty cool.

Cannot wait for this.

"There's lots more coming your way."? Like what exactly? Stephen Moffat said something about taking over the airwaves for the 50th anniversary, but so far here in the UK there's barely been a mention of it - we haven't even had the monthly specials on each of the Doctors shown in the US. The link to the BBC in the article doesn't work btw, so I'm still clueless about what exactly the BBC is going to do, in the few months left of this year, to commemorate this milestone properly.

I've been enjoying the monthly Doctors revisited on BBCA. Looking forward to the new episodes and 50th anniversary special. Too bad they couldn't have more past Doctors involved,there are still quite a few around.

There's been a rumour floating around Doctor Who fan circles for the last few months that a very large missing episode find is about to be unveiled. Fingers crossed that's the restored episode story...it's a rumour that's trundled on for so long now I'm daring to hope it's true!

@TheAlexLynch,

I always thought that he shaved it again just so that the wig would fit better.

I can't wait! I love Moffat and I think he's better than Davies. I'm not looking forward for the worst companion to date's return...( yes, worse than Adric and Susan)
