Official BBC Tweet (SPOILERS)

[Mr Awe]

Digital Spy are saying the special is 90 minutes, I forget is this news?

The only official word we've had on length from the BBC is the Toy Fair poster in February, which was 60 minutes.

Due to the 3-D nature of the special and its post-production demands, I think 60 minutes is a credible length.

However.

I imagine this could be a situation like "Journey's End" where it's written for a certain length, and if it goes over it goes over. It's not like the schedule in November is set in stone yet. If the special runs 75 minutes, the schedule can still accommodate that.

It's also possible that the extremely negative reaction to the length of 60 minutes got them to reconsider. Let's hope that 90 minutes is correct!

I'd be slightly suprised if there weren't any appearances by classic doctors. Not that I have any personal attachment to the old stuff, it just seems appropriate for such a milestone. Maybe they're keeping that for a surprise and hoping this "lesser" reveal keeps us busy for a while.

^ I hope you're right!

If this ends up being doc 10.5 from that ridiculous alternate universe storyline I'm never watching Doctor Who again*


*Of course I will.

Actually, that's exactly what I hope it is...
