It’s going to be Time Lord overload for the next couple of months. In addition to the 50th-anniversary special “The Day of the Doctor” and the making-of docudrama “An Adventure in Space and Time,” the Doctor is going to be all over the BBC. From the BBC’s Doctor Who site:
BBC Two will broadcast a number of new commissions, focusing on telling the story behind the show. For one night only, Professor Brian Cox will take an audience of celebrity guests and members of the public on a journey into the wonderful universe of the Doctor, from the lecture hall of the Royal Institution of Great Britain (1x60mins). Drawing on the latest theories as well as 200 years of scientific discoveries and the genius of Einstein, Brian tries to answer the classic questions raised by the Doctor – can you really travel in time? Does extra-terrestrial life exist in our galaxy?...

Doctor Who fans... we're a funny old bunch, aren't we?
At best, we're caught in a state of permanent anxiety about the fate of our favourite sci-fi drama, and at worst, we're downright pessimistic about it.
So ever since head honcho Steven Moffat promised, way back in December 2012, that Doctor Who would "take over television" in its 50th anniversary year, fans have wanted to know what we're getting, when we're getting it and whether it'll match our lofty expectations.
The BBC officially unveiled its slate of celebratory programming at 00.01am this morning (unofficially revealing it a little earlier than that!) and, it has to be said, it's a pretty damn impressive line-up.
All four major BBC channels, plus Cbbc, BBC Radio 2, Radio 4 Extra and iPlayer, will be hosting shows dedicated to the big birthday bash - though some hard-to-please Whovians are still finding reason to complain...

In just over two months, the BBC will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who with a one-off special, Doctor Who: The Day of the Doctor, and the anticipation has naturally been buzzing for months around the special event.

As the programme draws ever clear, a new poster has been revealed for The Day of the Doctor, along with a slew of programming around the episode to celebrate the milestone.
The episode will be the penultimate to star the current Doctor, Matt Smith, who will be exiting the programme with the Christmas episode. Peter Capaldi was announced last month as his replacement, coming on board...

If Matt Smith is the only Doctor Who you've ever known, then you've seen some strange faces this season. In the first episode of this season, when the eleventh Doctor was facing down an alien set to destroy the Earth, it looked into his mind and saw several previous incarnations of the Doctor and various enemies he has bested.
Then again in episode 11, the Doctor had to transfer some of his memory to his roommate (yes, roommate), Craig Jones, and again, when saw some of the previous Doctors. If you saw 'Doctor Who: The Ultimate Guide,' you were brought up to date on the series reboot that started in 2005 with the Ninth Doctor, played by Christopher Eccleston, and continued with the Tenth Doctor, played by the immensely popular David Tennant.
