FIRST POSTER FOR DAY OF THE DOCTOR!

Now that we find ourselves closer to the 50th anniversary spectacular coming later this year, it comes as no surprise that any news Who-related is met with more excitement than ever. If you ever thought that the BBC were being too secretive in their talk of the programme, fear not, for they have answered. Find below the first of many posters to be released to celebrate the Doctor Who spectacular..

Certainly has the 'block-buster movie' feel about it.

Most notable element to this poster, is the announcement of the episode's title, 'Day of the Doctor'. However, attention should also be brought to the portion taken up by John Hurt's character - surrounded by an explosions of Daleks and repeated prints of the words 'Bad Wolf' - certainly makes you wonder what kind of connection the episode will have with the show's previous storylines. Now that we've caught the first visual tease of the episode, it's seems a safe thing to say that Matt Smith is certainly going to have a memorable exit episode. But more importantly, what do you think? Sound off in the comments below!

*CYBERMEN SPOILER ALERT!!!!*

Latest bit of news direct from New Zealand, where DW voice supremo NICK BRIGGS did a Q&A.

He has said.....


DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU WANT TO AVOID SPOILERS!



He has said that the Cybermen soon to be seen in the upcoming episode 'Nightmare In Silver' will NOT be the Cybus/ alternative universe ones, but the 'original' Cybermen from Mondas. He also said that they 'Don't speak very much', and that he's recorded a whole range of different sounding voices, from the 'Tenth Planet' style, to a 'Vocoder' style... But he doesn't know which ones will ultimately be used in the episode!

CAPTAIN JACK'S NOT BACK

With all the rumours, speculation and secrecy surrounding the 50th Anniversary special, it's hard to believe the cold hard facts that we do receive.

However, this one seems hard to dispute as Captain Jack Harkness himself has confirmed that he is not involved in the 50th via Twitter.

'I will not be involved in the 50th Anniversary Episode of Dr WHO' wrote Barrowman yesterday (March 24).

It appears that this is concrete and there will be no more Captain Jack in the foreseeable future. I guess our hopes lie in the renewal of Torchwood.

THE DOCTOR'S GREATEST SECRET REVEALED?

The Moff, along with Matt Smith and Jenna Louise-Coleman have revealed some rather sintillating facts about the upcoming run of episodes and the 50th Anniversary.

Speaking at a Q&A session after an exclusive screening of The Bells of Saint John, Moffat and co. showed their enthusiasm for the second half of series 7 and gave their impressions on the script for the 50th.

On the subject of the 50th Anniversary, Smith said: "You won't be disappointed... I read it and clapped at the end.

I think it's going to be the biggest, the best, the most inventive, the most exciting year for the show."

Moffat, commenting on the 50th, has stopped anybody from giving him a physical copy of the script:

"I'll tell you, one length I've gone to, which I think is a really, really good security measure - I make sure I don't get a script. Because I will lose it. So I forbid people to hand me one." he said.


Coleman was also asked about her thoughts on the anniversary script.

She said: "It really is epic and I think it's really a treat for the fans of the last fifty years."

In further news, Steven Moffat has also announced that River Song (Alex Kingston) will return in series 7b.

He said: "Yes. She will certainly be in this series."

The trio were later asked to elaborate on their personal highlights, to which Smith and Coleman discussed the show's new mosters and guest stars. Moffat however ended the question with a very big boast:

"And the Doctor's greatest secret will be revealed. And actually will. I'm not lying." 

There is a lot going on and, naturally, the hype will only continue to grow. With the 50th Anniversary on the horizon and the new run of episodes starting in two weeks, we're expecting to bring you a TARDIS full of information very soon. As JNT once said. Stay tuned!

THE DOCTOR AT COMIC RELIEF

Comic Relief has so far raised an incredible £75, 107, 851. This is the most the charity has raised in its 25 year history and, amidst all the usual sketches and specials was the Doctor.

The Time Lord first popped up in a mash-up of One Born Every Minute, Call the Midwife and Doctor Who, where he arrives to warn an in-labour mother of a prophecy regarding her unborn twins, John and Edward.

Smith later appeared on stage with Claudia Winkleman and Dermot O'Leary as the Doctor. Serving as a 'teaser' for the 50th Anniversary in 3D, Smith found himself having to avoid the advances of Winkleman before leaving.

David Tennant also made a surprise entrance as John Bishop, blindfolded, awaited a kiss from co-host Davina McCall, only to receive one from the Tenth Doctor instead (who did not hold back).

Check out the stills and Smith's on-stage appearance below:
