Press Release:
MATT
SMITH, DAVID TENNANT AND JOHN HURT TO FACE OFF AGAINST DALEKS IN
50thANNIVERSARY SPECIAL
The
Doctors, Matt Smith, David Tennant and John Hurt will battle the deadly Daleks,
the BBC announces today, in the show’s 50th anniversary special.
Returning
to BBC One on 23 November the highly anticipated adventure will star: Matt
Smith; Jenna Coleman; David Tennant; Billie Piper; John Hurt and Joanna
Page. In a surprise twist in the recent
series finale it was revealed John Hurt would be playing a Doctor, alongside
Smith and Tennant.
The
Daleks are the second monster to be announced for the 50th and will join the
shape shifting Zygons, which have only appeared in the show once before in
1975. The Daleks were one of the first monsters to terrify audiences in 1963,
50 years ago, cementing their place in British popular culture.
Steven
Moffat, lead writer and executive producer, said:
“The
Doctor once said that you can judge a man by the quality of his enemies, so
it’s fitting that for this very special episode, he should be facing the
greatest enemies of all.”
The
50th anniversary episode was shot earlier this year at BBC Cymru Wales’ Roath
Lock Studios in Cardiff and across South Wales.
Filming also took place in iconic London locations the Tower of London
and Trafalgar Square for a huge stunt, which saw Matt Smith dangling from a
TARDIS alongside Nelson’s Column.
