in conclusion , the BBC has unfreeze some detail about their Doctor Who 50th anniversary celebration , the biggest news of which is that the fiftieth Anniversary Special will be 75 minutes ( hey , longer than an hour ! ) and subtitled The Day of the Doctor . Meanwhile , why are three old Doctors protesting outside the BBC ?
First , here ’s the BBC list of 50th anniversary plans , although they were quick to head out there will be more :
Other high spot include a BBC Two lecture by Professor Brian Cox on the science behind the hit show and the drama An Adventure In Space and Time , save by Mark Gatiss .
The one - off programme stars David Bradley , of the Harry Potter moving picture , as William Hartnell – who was the first Doctor in 1963 .
BBC Four will introduce novel audiences to Hartnell , with a re - campaign of the first ever narration . The four episodes are being shown in a furbish up format , not previously broadcast in the UK .
BBC Two ’s flagship arts computer program The Culture Show is to present Me , You and Doctor Who , with lifelong devotee Matthew Sweet exploring the cultural implication of the BBC ’s longest running TV play .
A 90 - minute documentary on BBC Radio 2 will postulate “ Who Is The Doctor ? ” – using new - recorded interviews and single archive fabric to rule an answer – while BBC Three will be home to several commissions .
And now back to that “ objection ” . It seems that former Doctors Peter Davison , Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy were spotted outside BBC home office , carry sign that understand “ No Classics ? No fiftieth ! ” and “ Have a heart , Classic Doctors want a part ! ”
I envisage the opportunity of this being a real objection is about 1 -in - i ( not a typographical error ; I mean the nonexistent straightforward radical of -1 ) so the question is whether this is just a light-headed publicity stunt , almost assuredly direct by showrunner Steven Moffat , or if they were filming some kind of funny short for television broadcast or as a videodisc special .
I will say this , though : If Moffat and the BBC can get three definitive doctor together for a short , why was it so prohibitively unmanageable for them to make an appearance in the fiftieth anniversary special ? Hmm …
