Dr Who 50th anniversar special - not good news

[Gorn Captain]

Billie Piper was on The Graham Norton show, saying she wanted to be in the special, but wasn't asked.

I think the special will be Matt Smith, sitting in a chair, eating fish fingers and custard, talking about his life so far....

I was watching the 4th doctor special last night and thought, man Tom Baker has really aged well, it would be so cool if they put him back in it, without all the CGI crap and just write a great story

I know big finish will get it right even if Moffet doesn't

I think JJ Abrams is directing it. Story by G. Lucas.

I want Tom Baker

If Tom Baker is in it i'll be able to die happy

[johnmiic]

I think Chameleon, Fi-Fi and The Mara will be in it.

I know wikipedia is not the place for accurate info, but lately it's been getting better.

That's not a good thing considering I just read this .........

Christopher Eccleston discussed plans for the anniversary episode with Moffat, but eventually declined to return as the Ninth Doctor.[17] Sylvester McCoy, who played the Seventh Doctor, has claimed that none of the surviving actors who portrayed the Doctor prior to Eccleston have been contacted regarding the special.[18] Colin Baker confirmed this while being interviewed on Australian television alongside McCoy and Paul McGann.[19] However, McGann went on to say that he could still be in the 50th but at the last moment.[20] Freema Agyeman[21] and John Barrowman,[22] who played Tenth Doctor companions Martha Jones and Jack Harkness, respectively, have both stated they will not be in the 50th, but may return to the show at some point. Barrowman stated that he would have liked to be in it, but speculated that the producers wanted to try some different things.[22] John Simm, who played the last incarnation of The Master, also stated he never got a call to be a part of the Anniversary.[23]

I'm guessing it will star and be about River Song
