50th Is "The Day Of The Doctor" (And Is 75 Minutes)

I guess I couldn't resist, and I must admit... its rather impressive! Promises to be the most visual story yet.

Also, I think it kinda confirms the John Hurt Doctor rumors, maybe?
 
I'm glad its not just the Eccleston/Tennant TARDIS all over, but I kinda wish it resembled Eighth's TARDIS. Not the same, just the color and such - saying this as so many of the past Doctors kept their TARDIS-es pretty much the same for a while.

But minor quibble - interesting, overall.
 
Unfortunately, I can only watch it on my iPhone which is my only option for the next few days because I'm in holiday in Berlin, so I'll just copy and pasta what I said on Facebook:

One: Too short.

Two: Rose with the Heart of the TARDIS? Again? Ugh.

Three: Zygons!

Four: The Moment!

Five: Ruby?

Six: Definitely Time War. I really didn't think we would ever see that, but if there was ever a time to do it, it's now.

Seven: Maybe surprise appearance of Timothy Dalton and/or The Master as portrayed by a different actor?

Eight: Still hoping beyond hope for a surprise appearance for Paul McGann (see what I did there?).

Nine: While we're at it, Eccleston, too? Yeah, I know...

Ten: I think I've run dry at this point.

One more for here: I'm surprised they built a whole new console room for Hurt. Maybe it's just a redress.
 
I'll be curious to see if the TARDIS exterior is slightly different as well. Would be awesome to see McGann's TARDIS from 1996 in there alongside Tennant and Smith's.

Or at least a much more beat up version ala' Hartnell's.

I think the opening shot of the TARDIS on the sand is Hurt's.
 
Wouldn't it be hilariously wonderful, though? :)

Seriously, though, I don't think the Fourth Doctor will appear in this, as sad as that may be. He might as Tom Baker, which could be in-line with the rumor that TDOTD would feature Matt Smith in-person in it... of course, thats a sillier rumor than him being in it, but thats the only rumor I heard in which he could fit in this in a feasible way.

As is, its still a curious statement. Maybe he's in the special sketches, somehow?
 
From the angle of the shot of Tennant's TARDIS I'm wondering if they shot it at the Exhibit. That whole corner is there.

Aye, that's where it was shot. Its a shame that the modifications were likely irreversible, the set it lit quite dimly and probably cant be shot from many various angles.
 
Kind of funny to think about Tennant going to a DW exhibit to shoot scenes in his old TARDIS again.

I hope we get to see the behind the scenes of that.
