ECCLESTON IN 50TH? QUITE POSSIBLY! *EXCLUSIVE*

An undisclosed source close to the Doctor Who production team indicated to us this morning that Ninth Doctor, Christopher Eccleston may well be seen in the 50th Anniversary special, despite his recent comments to the contrary, and that he could have already filmed his part...!

Eccleston has recently said that he did have a meeting with showrunner Steven Moffat about a possible involvement in the end-of-year spectacular, but came away saying he wouldn't be involved.

However, my tight-lipped source refused to confirm or deny this in a very 'I know something you don't know' manner, which is a very strong pointer towards seeing the Ninth Doctor on our screens, joining Matt Smith and David Tennant.

Tennant, if you remember, recently denied all knowledge and involvement in the same way that Eccleston has.

Remember - you read it here FIRST on Type40 News!

Wouldn't it be FANTASTIC to see him?

BRAND NEW CLIP FROM THE BELLS OF SAINT JOHN

Check out the clip below:

AND NOW THE TRAILER...

With the prequel to The Bells of Saint John only just being released, there's now a trailer to go with it.

Take a look below:

 

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!

NEW TRAILER

A brand new trailer has arrived for the second half of series 7.

Showing more of the monsters and providing more tidbits of information on new companion Clara, saying we're excited seems pointless. WE CAN'T WAIT.

Check out the new trailer below:

MATT SMITH ON WHO FUTURE AND 50TH

Matt Smith appeared on The Jonathan Ross show tonight (March 16), providing details about his future as the Doctor and dropping a rather underwhelming, yet thought-provoking bit of info on the 50th Anniversary.

When asked by Ross if he had thought about moving on or whether he was still happy in the role, Smith responded:

"I'm very happy doing it... It's sort of one of those that jobs you have to take, year by year really."

He added, "It's a year by year thing and at the moment it's 2013 and we'll see what 2014 holds."

The interview moved on to discuss the 50th Anniversary. Ross pushed for information from Smith and in return, we got one word straight from the Doctor's mouth. What was that word you ask? Well...

"Paintings. That's all I'm saying."

That's right, paintings. If ANYONE out there knows what this means then please get in touch because we most certainly have no idea.
