The Day of the Doctor: 50th Anniversary special *spoilers*

[shada pavlova]

I would very much like to see a feature-length special with the Fourth Doctor and either Romana, the Fifth Doctor and Peri, the Sixth Doctor and Evelyn, the Seventh Doctor and Ace, the Eighth Doctor either on his own or with Charley, the Ninth Doctor and Rose, the Tenth Doctor and Donna, and the Eleventh Doctor with whoever's around at the time. I don't care what the story is, but those are the Doctor/companion teams I would like to see.

[Dirk Gently]

OK guys, compromise, a PVC bikini with cling film patches in the centres.

[Stuart Wallis]

Now why are we wasting any of the clothing budget over this...?

[Leah Betts]

What about involving the descendents of the deceased Doctors?
Jessica Carney, Tierney Troughton, Sean Pertwee etc.?

[Rob McCow]

I love Harry's shopping list of Doctors & companions! Tweet them at Moffat!

The BBC are asking questions...

Appended to today's GFK AI survey is a extra bonus survey about Doctor Who. It reveals some of the BBCs thinking about plans...

Q: 2013 will be the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who. For all of the programmes listed below please say how likely you are to watch.

A one off Doctor Who special on BBC One
The making of the one off Doctor Who special on BBC Three
A documentary on the science of Doctor Who with Professor Brian Cox on BBC Four
The Doctor Who Proms concert from the Royal Albert Hall featuring music from the series

[Dino]

I know I'm sounding ungrateful but from that... the one off special, the BBC Three "Making of", dental torture, the Proms concert, more dental torture, medieval torture, nuclear annihilation and then perhaps the thing with Brian Cox!

[J.R. Southall]

What about a dramatisation of the birth of Doctor Who on BBC Four? Or a very special edition of Have I Got Who's For You? Or a history of the fifty years leading up to the anniversary?

Option 3 seems very weird. Who cares about the science of Doctor Who, it's all fantasy anyway!!!

[Stuart Wallis]

The Making of the anniversary documentary...? Yes, here we are, the fan gene showing through again, don't mean to sound ungrateful but... I think we can all guess how they choose the clips and interview the talking heads, ta muchly!

I think you got the wrong end of the stick! Perhaps a comma might have helped:

The making of the one off Doctor Who special, on BBC Three

In other words: on BBC Three, a making of the Doctor Who Special (ie the anniversary story).

I've been saying that for a while now some thing similar to The Road to Coronation Street, wold be very welcolm.

Probably did. Still not interested though.

[Anthony Williams]

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but the making of thing for the Doctor Who Special sounds awfully like, well... Doctor Who Confidential, no?

[Stuart Wallis]

...which we all thought they were cancelling...

[J.R. Southall]

Well... yes. I think they're merely sounding people out as to whether they should resurrect the show for a one-time special edition, given that it's the 50th birthday and all. Nothing more than that.

[Dirk Gently]

A making of...' telling the story of Doctor Who from 1963 to the present special would be nice, a making of...' about just the special, what's the point really? How is it going to be much different to the making of any previous story?
It'd make a nice DVD extra but that's about it. Me watching it would completely depend on whether it clashed with any other programme on at the time.

I agree with this! I'd much rather see a special documentary celebrating all 50 years of the show, from Hartnell through to Smith - right up to and including whatever special they have planned for the 50th Anniversary.

A making of the 50th Anniversary Special just seems rather self-indulgent. I agree with Stuart, when he said that it would be the same old talking heads, gushing over how wonderful everything is, and how they've "never done anything like this before!" Yawn.

[SiHart]

And yet if you do have stars returning to the show for the 50th anniversary special, then a making of would be a good time to interview them all, maybe all of the Doctors together, while they're working together and produce something rather unique. It could encapsulate the past and the present together.

That's assuming all the Doctors would be in it. All it says is a Doctor Who special for the anniversary!

[SiHart]

I'm optimistic!

Me. Very muchly. I think one of the things that most lets Who down since its return has been some of the shoddy science. I'd like to see something about the science, especially from Brian Cox.

I don't want a 'Dr Who Night' where D list celebrities trot out the 'watched daleks from behind the sofa' cliché, I don't particularly want a Dr Who proms thingy...

To be honest I'd be happy with a TV special episode, with a huge cliffhanger, and an announcement at the end for the 2014 cinematastic timewar movie.
