Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Tribute at BAFTA TV Awards

It has been announced that Doctor Who will receive a special tribute at Sunday's BAFTA Television Awards.

Full details:

BBC's Doctor Who will be celebrated a Sunday's Arqiva British Academy Television Awards, in recognition of the programme's 50th anniversary this year.

A special celebratory video montage featuring the show's long history will be included as part of the ceremony, and Jenna-Louise Coleman - the Doctor's companion - will present one of the night's awards.

Two Daleks will also be seen patrolling the BAFTA red carpet, among the illustrious guests arriving for the ceremony hosted by Graham Norton.

Amanda Berry OBE, Chief Executive of BAFTA, said: "There are only a handful of programmes that have the quality and longevity of Doctor Who and the ability to put the nation on their sofas - or indeed behind them - year after year. BAFTA raises a toast to Doctor Who on its 50th birthday this year."

Steven Moffat, Doctor Who's Lead Writer and Executive Producer, said: "This is a massive and exciting year for Doctor Who, so I'm thrilled that BAFTA are including a special tribute to the show. So thrilled, in fact, we're sending the Doctor's best friend, Jenna-Louise Coleman, to present an award. We're also sending the Doctor's worst enemy, the Daleks, to exterminate lots of innocent people. Sorry, it's just what they do. Let us know if it's a Health and Safety issue."

The Arqiva British Academy Television Awards will be hosted by Graham Norton at the Royal Festival Hall, London and broadcast on BBC One, 8pm on Sunday 12th May.

Doctor's Name NOT Revealed in Series 7 Finale?

According to a rumour in the Daily Star, fans will not actually learn the Doctor's name in the series 7 finale. His "greatest secret" will be something else.

They state:

Rumour has it that although characters in the show will discover the secret, viewers will be kept in the dark as the name won't actually be broadcast or shown when it airs on Saturday, May 18.

A source said: "We may have to wait another 50 years to find out. Steven Moffat is a big tease."

But a "show spokeswoman" supposedly said: "We learn The Doctor's greatest secret but it will be a surprise whether we learn his real name."

Doctor Who: The Crimson Horror

There's something very odd about Mrs Gillyflower's Sweetville mill, with its perfectly clean streets and beautiful people. There's something even stranger about the bodies washing up in the river, all bright red and waxy. When the Doctor and Clara go missing, it's up to Vastra, Jenny and Strax to rescue them before they too fall victim to the Crimson Horror!

A Series 7 "prequel" for The Name of the Doctor is coming on Saturday 11th May.

The Radio Times confirms the 3-minute special is entitled,"He Said, She Said," and the synopsis:

Shot in a dreamlike style and set in a dusty old museum, He Said, She Said will see the Doctor and companion Clara talking directly to camera as they reflect on how little they really know about one another.

It will be available via the BBC's Red Button service (and no doubt online) following the penultimate episode, Nightmare in Silver at 7:40pm

DWM Confirm No Classic Doctors in 50th

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!
