I guess these are Time Lords summoning, or at least celebrating the arrival of, the Doctor during the Time War?
I hope we get to see more of the Time Lords in peril. They've always kinda been pompous asses, might be nice to see them on the losing side for once.
Yeah this would be cool. I'd like for the Daleks to be actually threatening again too.

Can they? I thought I remember reading that the change of costume was 100% a Big Finish thing, and BBC had nothing to do with it.
I'd imagine if they show him, they're going to show him in the last thing they had a hand in producing.
(I'd like for it to be the Dark Eyes costume, as well)

They've rebuilt Series 5's TARDIS for the Celebration Event next week, the exact one from the show is being used, or so they claim.
I have a photo with my friend booked on it.
Also picked up my copy of the Anniversary Magazine today, soooooooooo much good stuff in there!
And my Exploding TARDIS lanyard turned up as well, so today was a good day!

Some people think that pic from Night of the Doctor could be the Sisterhood of Karn, which would be cool.
What do we think is the likelihood of following showing up in the episode or associated content (mini episode etc.), in newly filmed footage not body doubles/old footage/CGI etc. I'd guess:
- Eccleston: .5%
- Appearance + regeneration of Mcgann: 70%
- 63-89 Doctor: 50%
- Classic companion: 75%
- New Who companion outside of Rose + Clara: 80%

Oh, I remember reading that they had to run it by Moffat/the BBC first, hmm. Either way the spoiler hound says
the costume in the minisode isn't his movie costume.
This seems about right for me to be honest. Maybe the McGann percentage is slightly higher.
This guy is saying all the right things to set me up for crushing disappointment when River Song shows up.

They've got one at the experience in Cardiff as well - it just won't be THE one in its entirety. The reason they had to build a new TARDIS midway through Series 5 is that the production site was moving, and they couldn't rip up the Series 5 TARDIS as its multi-level design was built on top of the old Torchwood hub (all the ups and downs are in the same places, if you look closely) and it was all concreted down. They had two problems - one they'd have to rebuild expensive concrete foundations at the new site, and two when they ripped up the old one it'd likely break due to how it was constructed. So they just scrapped it and had a new console room instead. If it wasn't for the move they'd likely have held off on the new TARDIS interior for Capaldi, really.
Anyway, an awful lot of it was destroyed, but the actual centre, the bit people care about - the control panel, the blown-glass time rotor, all that - survived. It was the actual construction of the room itself that was buggered by the move, not that. So it's probably the middle that's there. Same is true of the version of Tennant's at the Experience - a lot of the walls shattered or whatever when they took it down, so it isn't all there, but the central control column is fine, and is the actual one used from 2005-2010.

I think we're about even on McGann regenerating in one of the minisodes at this point. A decent chance at someone like Donna popping up briefly (like, 40% if I had to put an arbitrary number to it?)
We'll maybe get namedrops for someone like Ian or Susan, but I don't really expect any classic Doctors or companions popping up in the flesh. Maybe, at a stretch, some new voiceover from classic Doctors.
I think McGann in the minisode is really more of an 80-90%, and I could see Donna popping up somewhere. But I have zero expectations for any classic doctors or companions showing up in new footage. I think we're more likely to see Eccleston('s body double :lol) than any pre-McGann actors.

I expect nothing. Not even McGann. It's easier that way.

Yeah. I'd LIKE McGann (as you all know) but I'm definitely not EXPECTING anything.
paradox121

Yup. I'd even go so far as to say I personally don't want anything pre-McGann. It's great that those Doctors still live on in the audios but on screen? There's not really a non-awkward or ham-fisted way I can think of bringing them in.
Although, saying that, I'm totally down for some old school companions. I love imaging them just going back to semi-normal lives. Always the bittersweet thing about leaving the Doctor alive.

If I saw Turlough, I think I'd pee a little. Out of happiness, of course.
Might be a mistake but The Night of The Doctor is coming out tomorrow at 12pm according to iplayer http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p01lhhv4/Doctor_Who_Mini_Episode_The_Night_Of_The_Doctor/

Suspect an error as it lists BBC One... and it won't be on there, particularly as it says exclusive? Maybe. Could be an iPlayer quirk.

I think the BBC One logo would be there even if the date wasn't a mistake, it lists BBC One for that recent Eastenders red button episode.
Really could be anything.
Doubt its his mother though. Might even be members of that old Gallifreyan matriarchal ruling class that were ousted by Rassilon.

It's because it's a "red button" extra, which is where you press the red button on your remote and select it.

Gotcha.
Also, I just got a press release from Fathom that confirms the theatrical releases here in America will have a longer run-time due to the making-of special being included, and not the Mini-Episode.
edit: Dunno if that was confirmed previously, but it was the first I'd seen anyone say one way or the other.

I know "the night of the doctor" gels better with "the day of the doctor" but i think "the eve of the doctor" sounds better and makes more sense

saw it earlier on the site by mistake. Pissed that they gave it away.
I scrolled down too far on the article and accidentally spoiled the last ever Poirot for myself too.

So we here in the US should know by early Thursday morning whether or not that listing was a mistake, yes?
Here are some big Day of the Doctor spoilers/rumor, courtesy of GB.
Christmas special spoilers/rumors below
Night of the Doctor spoiler/rumor
Also, one of the sources said this:
Annnnd that is it for me trolling for spoilers. I want some mystery to these things.
- The pre titles stuff is basically Clara teaching at Coal Hill School, and getting a message saying her doctor has called. She races out on her motorbike and then meets The Doctor. They get picked up by a helicopter and taken to Trafalgar Square, where Kate Stewart and UNIT greet them, and The Doctor is given a letter from Elizabeth I. They all go into the National Gallery, and Kate shows The Doctor why he's been summoned. She brings them to a large white room, full of paintings. The paintings are 3D - and I mean 3D for us, the viewer, and for the characters. It's "Time Lord art", created by taking a snapshot of an event. One of the paintings is called 'Gallifrey Falls'. In the painting, is John Hurt's Doctor, identified by the Eleventh Doctor to Clara and UNIT. There are also two figures on either side of him, that the Doctor doesn't recognise. But it's him, in his current and previous incarnation (i.e. Smith and Tennant), but he hasn't been there as those two yet. The two of them later go there to join Hurt's Doctor on Arcadia. Why he doesn't remember being there as Ten, I don't know. Clara asks The Doctor why his face has dropped upon seeing the painting - and he replies that the painting represents the final day of the Time War, the day he killed his own people. Cue title sequence.
- Rose can summon projections by waving her hands, and also see into the future, which is used to alert Hurt's Doctor to his destiny; to use The Moment and end the Time War
- Clara refers to the three Doctors, Hurt, Tennant, and Smith, as "The warrior, the hero, and the Doctor"
- Clara has a hard time coming to terms with the fact the Doctor wiped his own people out - Tennant's Doctor assures her it was the only way. She pleads with her Doctor, and what he says next shocks the other two Doctors - he's changed his mind, and he wants to change time, and not destroy the Daleks and Time Lords. Because now the Doctor has something he didn't have then, another two versions of himself, so maybe they can collectively come up with another way after all. The other two come around, grin, and get on with changing history.

Christmas special spoilers/rumors below
Source 1:
The Day of the Doctor and Christmas are pretty much a two parter
The Doctor defeats a Weeping Angel with a mirror
The Church has ninja nuns this time
His foot gets turned to stone.
The episode is very dark.
On the title:
Nope, at the moment it's untitled.
"Time of the Doctor" is apparently a contender, making the Name, Day and Time a sequel. But that's not as concrete as the other stuff I've posted, which I have zero doubt is all true
Source 2
Nobody - not Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans, anyone - wants the Doctor to answer the question "Doctor Who?"... They're all terrified it'll happen!
The stalemate is:
Daleks (etc) converge on the town which is protected by a truth field with the aim of destroying the place.
If they attack the Doctor speaks his name.
If he does that then ((bad ¤¤¤¤ happens)).
So they don't attack and the Doctor upholds his threat for nigh-on a thousand years... Until... Well, he gets too old.
He loses his leg early on, I believe. And it's easy to show a wooden leg on screen!
Honestly, an attack from an angel causes him to lose his leg and gets a wooden one.

It is, the BBC programme database doesn't have Red Button masterbrand to mark an episode as, so it will just be marked as whichever channel brand owns the series.
(Scheduling tech for the Red Button in the BBC is a bit... old fashioned, which is why so little makes it on to iPlayer at the moment.)
Do we still think it will be on today though? I do hope so! Otherwise, the other date floating about was Saturday?
Also, a reminder that Brian Cox's show The Science Of Doctor Who is on tonight on BBC2 at 9pm!

14th November also happens to be Paul McGann's birthday so, if he does happen to be in Night of the Doctor, it would be a nice bit of synchronicity if it aired then.
