According to Doctor Who Magazine, David Tennant will be the only returning Doctor. The new issue (#460) confirms that no other classic Doctors will be back.The magazine states: "Although David Tennant has returned to his role of the Tenth Doctor, the other old Doctors will not be taking part."
They confirm earlier reports that Christopher Eccleston was initially approached to reprise his role, but was unable to do so.
Citing an earlier quote from Steven Moffat: "It is important you don't turn it into a fanfest. We can't make this all about looking backwards. It's actually got to be the start of a new story."
They also report that filming on the 50th is nearing completion, with production on 2013 Christmas Special "and possibly further episodes" starting after Matt Smith works on the film How to Catch a Monster.

I'm really disappointed by this, I was hoping that all of the surviving Doctors would be part of this anniversary special. I don't know why Steven Moffat is moaning about making it a fanfest, I mean isn't that the point? It's the 50th for goodness sake, I can understand him saying that about the normal episodes, its always good to attract new and casual viewers. Why not just this once say to hell with casual viewers, lets celebrate the past 50 years properly and bring back the classic Doctors!
