Check out the special Google Doodle for the 50th Anniversary: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/google/google-doodle/10467052/Doctor-Whos-50th-anniversary-celebrated-with-a-Google-Doodle.html Don't be fooled by it's simple first appearance, following the clicks leads to a game with several levels where you have to move the Doctor round an old fashioned platform game. Similar in concept to the first such from Google Doodles which featured Pacman. Read the article above for more details. Hopefully it'll be posted somewhere more permanent... Martin

I binge-watched last night on BBC America. I probably watched 10-12 episodes before I fell asleep. They were running through all of season/series 5 and then started 6. Gonna miss the takeover week! After the special tomorrow, it'll feel like it's all over

Getting ready to go out to the cinema - meal first. In the past we've posted spoiler alerts to this topic, esp when the USA screen shows later in the day. However! Tonight's a global simulcast, so let's feedback here as soon as you've recovered from the event

Loved it! Talk about tidying up loose ends
Fresh start so far as the angst seen with recent Doctors over the subject in hand. Martin

Today I watched the 2 hour movie Adventures In Time & Space, the 5oth anniversary pre-show, and The Day of the Doctor. All were great, especially the new episode with the 3 Doctors. Which Doctor was is near the end who was the curator at the National Gallery? (that was the original actor, right?)

Once again seeing Billy Piper as Rose......

The Official BBC Doctor Who incarnations: The Classic series First - William Hartnell 63 - 66 Second - Patrick Troughton 66 - 69 Third - Jon Pertwee - 70 - 74 Fourth - Tom Baker 74 - 81 Fifth - Peter Davison 81 - 84 Sixth - Colin Baker 84 - 86 Seventh - Sylvester McCoy 87 - 89 (The series took a break at this point albeit while Sylvester McCoy remained the nominal Doctor no episodes were filmed) Eighth - Paul McGann 1996 - at the time, a one-off TV special. However in a mini-episode prequel to tonight's Day Of The Doctor 50th Anniversary episode the Eighth Doctor (still played by Paul McGann) is seen to transform into the "War Doctor" played by John Hurt who features in the Day Of The Doctor. The Modern Series from 2005 onwards Ninth Doctor - Christopher Eccleston 2005 Tenth Doctor - David Tennant 2005 - 2010 Eleventh Doctor - Matt Smith 2010 -2013 Twelfth Doctor - Peter Capaldi - is introduced in the Xmas special 2013 - although eagle eyed viewers will have spotted a micro-second appearance in the Day Of The Doctor special climax... Tom Baker, The Fourth Doctor seen in this episode, is the earliest surviving incarnation of Doctor Who - William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee have all since passed away. Martin

The BBC released this composite image of all the Doctors which places John Hurt's War Doctor in the place implied by recent episodes: http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/71311000/jpg/_71311682_a474732b-dd1d-45db-aa9c-4acbce1e7b29.jpg
From this article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-25076912 Which announces a Guinness Book Of Records world record for the global simulcast. Martin

I love the whole Doctor "Family" connections. There's a side film available called The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot
Which is a fun film following the effort of Doctors Four, Five and Six and various others, to appear in the 50th Anniversary show. Briefly we see Peter Davison call in a favour from his daughter Georgia - formerly Georgia Moffat - starred in the episode The Doctor's Daughter. Now married to David Tennant after meeting him filming that episode. She appears in the film apparently giving birth to their child. But the end credits list her under her married name Georgia Tennant as the producer of the whole shebang. Small - and much loved - worldSo glad she's still connected. Martin

Was John Hurt the "War Doctor" or "Warrior Doctor?"

The character is listed as the War Doctor.

In the prequel episode you rightly observe the eighth Doctor played by Paul McGann is asked by the Sisterhood of Khan to choose his transformation form , fat or thin, man or woman, fast or strong, wise or angry? - and he elects for "Warrior".
However at the end John Hurt is credited as the "War Doctor" and it's that term used in BBC media and credits everywhere else as well. I thought Warrior as well until I saw the BBC credits. Martin -
You know it could be that the listing was wrong! Someone else I know thought it was Warrior too. Someone should write to them and ask about it!

That video was one of the funniest things I've ever seen! I laughed out loud many times!
When David's wife is giving birth and he cuts off their phone conversation and looks about quizzically--so freakin' funny! And when they look in John Barrowman's van and recoil! "Don't tell anyone!" (that he's really not gay and has a wife & kids!!) Priceless! I noticed a Sean Pertwee listed (must be Jon's son?)
