BBC released an article early yesterday morning that gave some new details<\/a> about the upcoming 50th Anniversary episode for Doctor Who.\u00a0The new details confirm the television runtime will be 75 minutes, and the episode title will be The Day of the Doctor.<\/i><\/p>\n

“You uncultured swine! This is obviously a V8 engine in my chest, not a V6!”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mysteriously, the original BBC\u00a0post<\/a>\u00a0that outlined the above information has now been taken down.<\/p>\n

The highly-anticipated TV special will showcase the Daleks, Cybermen, and the Zygons as villains<\/a>. Good thing we’ll have three Doctors in this episode to take them all on.<\/p>\n

For those of you unfamiliar with the Zygons (shown right), they are a race of shapeshifters, who first made their appearance in the 1975 episode\u00a0Terror of the Zygons<\/em>. They have not featured in any episodes since, only been mentioned or shown in ‘flashback’ footage. Tenth Doctor actor David Tennant lists them among his favorite<\/a> villains.<\/p>\n

The special will feature Matt Smith, David Tennant, and John Hurt as the Doctor. Jenna-Louise Coleman will also be back as the companion, and Billie Piper will make an appearance, reprising her role as Rose Tyler. Again.<\/p>\n

We’ve also seen the new promotional poster for the semicentennial episode hit the internet. Take a look at this wonderful piece of magnificence:<\/p>\n

Pretty cool, right?<\/p>\n

The episode is set for November 23rd, and while the official time hasn’t been released, it will air at the same time<\/a> worldwide. This will be done in an attempt to avoid spoilers crossing the time zones. Thank you, BBC. Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
