Almost as if it was designed with 3D in mind. Note how everything breaks apart and flies in to the screen. Followed by sparkly energy which flies in to the screen.

This guy is remaking the title sequence. Already has a logo which is far more interesting IMO.
That is a very nice sequence.

I wouldn't want it official though. It's far too classic-style to be a homage and becomes a rather direct link to the classic series. It is cool though.

He's not had a shit in over 900 years.
I got a Star Trek book today, 'Federation, The First 150 Years', there is a Doctor Who reference in it, a News Article written by a "Sarah Jane Smith"
Well Stephenson has sent the publicity machine in to overdrive again..
[QUOTE][b]The Hollywood Reporter:[/b] "Doctor Who is an international brand, and this year marks its 50th anniversary," he said. "That is a really exciting moment for the BBC at home and abroad.
"We haven't revealed yet what we are doing, but it will be an absolutely enormous, very, very ambitious event."[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE][b]Radio Times:[/b] One thing does seem clear – the on-screen anniversary celebrations will not be limited to a single special episode, with Stephenson saying he is keen to “make individual programmes more than the sum of their parts”.
"There’s many different things to take into account. We’ll also have a Christmas special after that and it all connects. Or maybe it doesn't. There is lots to work out…"
“Most people have their own Doctor Who. [The plans are] drawing on the nostalgia to say something bigger. It's a nationwide celebration of both Doctor Who and the BBC because I think they are so synonymous."[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE][b]DigitalSpy:[/b] BBC Drama boss Ben Stephenson has compared Doctor Who's 50th anniversary to last year's London Olympics and Queen's Jubilee celebrations. "Last year we have the wonderful Jubilee and wonderful Olympics. This year we have the opportunity to make drama the landmark event for the BBC," he said.
"Everyone has a connection to Doctor Who and we can do something really spectacular with it."[/QUOTE]

His Olympics quote is being taken out of context by a lot of news outlets. He just points out how last year the BBC's main event was the Olympics and this year it's the drama programs they'll produce with Doctor Who as a leading example.
Yet everybody's acting like he's saying Doctor Who will be better than The Olympics. Then people saying "ONLY HALF A SERIES AND A SPECIAL? HOW IS THIS AN ANNIVERSARY YEAR!?" in the comments like it's fact. Other than the fact a special hasn't been [I]confirmed. [/I]They've already announced 3D episodes AND a Docu-drama. Imagine how much more is to come. It's technically not the anniversary year till November anyway.
Trackboy on... The Ice Warriors...
[quote]They will be still very close to the classic design, but with 3 clamps instead of 2 for hands. We are bound to see what's under the armour this time. [/quote]
The armour thing had already leaked to be fair. I love Trackboy and it's great he exists and I'd hate to lose him. But I wonder if he just guesses a lot of this because it's always vague or slight alteration of what we've heard before.
Like how psychic mediums give you vague facts that you already know. Trackboy comes in and is like "There will be a pre-credits sequence. It will be good." then just rewords it a few times and hands it out as a major plot leak.

You can do this for any Tennant episode. I never noticed it till somebody pointed it out but The Tenth Doctor pulls faces that no real person has ever pulled ever.

Thing about the audios is Tom Baker and Sylvester McCoy are the only ones who still sound the same. Paul sorta sounds the same but clearly much older, same for Colin. Peter sounds nothing like he did when he was the Doctor.

finally got the frame for this, looks really nice :v:
I really think Matt Smith needs to be regenerated away. He's an okay Doctor, but he's way past his use-by date. Then again, I don't think they'll ever [I]ever[/I] top Ten's last moments.
2.5 series is too much for a Doctor as good as 11? We would be flying through them if you were showrunner :v:
Sorry, Eleven is easily the weakest of the revival series. He's good - I mean, better than Eight. But he'll never be Ten, and Nine is my Doctor from the offset.
I just think that Matt Smith's Doctor is... shallow. Where's the emotion? Where's the passion? He's so bland compared to the PTSD-riddled Nine or the falling apart at the seams Ten. Moffet's showrunning is all about the companions; where's the development of the Doctor? >.<
Poor Smith. "He'll never be Ten" is all the poor bloke heard for a year. Thankfully, I'm no fan of 10. No Doctor will ever be Hartnell, damn it. Except maybe Richard Hurndall. Possibly David Bradley.
In more important news, this story has moved up a bit from the Birmingham Mail. The Mirror has chosen to run with the rehash today. Following speculation in the Radio Times, and it's coverage on ITV's Daybreak.
[QUOTE]BBC bosses are going to attempt to regenerate ALL the former Time Lords, reuniting them in a Doctor Who special.
Seven of the surviving actors are set to return in cameo roles on the 3D episode to mark the 50th anniversary of the sci-fi favourite.
And chiefs also want to involve the first three Doctors – William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee – who have died since the first episode screened back in 1963.
They would be included in the feature-length special using computer generated images and old footage.
Doctors of old Tom Baker, 79, Peter Davison, 61, Colin Baker, 69, Sylvester McCoy, 69, Paul McGann, 53, Christopher Eccleston, 48, and David Tennant. 41, are thought to have agreed to take part alongside current star Matt Smith, 30.
This week writer and producer Steven Moffat – who is notoriously secretive – admitted: “Getting the other Doctors involved would be very fitting for the anniversary episode, wouldn’t it?”
He is still writing the special, which is due to be filmed this spring.
The plot is a fiercely-guarded secret, but Moffat said the fact the original show was delayed by more than a minute by an extended news bulletin would be referenced.[/QUOTE]

Matt Smith is an incredibly Doctor
Moffat is an incredibly bad writer
therein lies the distinction, ergo why ask for Matt Smith to be regenerated yet - the next doctor is going to suffer from exactly the same problem. He's a great doctor so he needs a change to shine. Better than Ten, definitely, at his strongest moments
Get rid of the writer, not the doctor
I disagree with the terminology there. Moffat has arguably written some of the most popular stories in the series since 2005. While I don't agree that he's necessarily a 'bad writer' (when he's good, he's [I]on fire[/I]), I would say that he's not a great [I]showrunner.[/I]
Yeah he's not a bad writer. He's a pretty great writer, it's just some episodes haven't been that enjoyable. You'd get that with any writer, he's only human.
He's just a pretty dreadful showrunner. I can't put my finger on it but the show seems more [I]arrogant[/I] since he took over? Like it's constantly going "LOOK WHAT WE CAN DO WITH OUR SHOW OH MY GOD WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS!", "LOOK AT THIS WE HAVE CHURCHILL AS A ROMAN EMPEROR AND ALIENS AND A TRAIN AND DICKENS ON [I]THIS MORNING[/I]". Then the writers are constantly saying "OH MY GOD THIS IS THE SCARIEST EPISODE ON THE PLANET. BEST DALEK EPISODE EVER" nearly every week. I like those really small episodes like The Lodger, the big ones are usually trying to do so much at once. The Doctors Wife was a big one but was incredibly basic, there is no need to try and be clever with Doctor Who when most the audience don't like to take it too seriously.
Can't believe we're back on the "11th Doctor has no emotion" argument. In your life you will meet people that are more emotional than others. Why does he have to cry whenever things go wrong? I haven't cried since I was a really small kid. He's an alien, stop expecting him to act like a human and have all our emotions dammit.
[editline]15th February 2013[/editline]
Honestly I can't forgive Moffat for thinking a series with no cliffhangers was a good idea.
He should just stick to Sherlock or writing the odd Who episode every now and then.
Probably worth a post. Gatiss' original pitch for An Adventure in Space and Time... in 2003:
[QUOTE]...my main reason for wanting to do it would be the story of William Hartnell, from getting the part to leaving the show. Possibly with a coda for The Three Doctors. But mainly it would be the story of an actor's life and his illness and his temper... Not overdoing it - because it's not like a 'warts and all' thing - but there's a very interesting story there. He didn't want to leave, but what with his fractious temper and his line-forgetting...
Incidentally, you've got this fantastic story about how the team came together, the design of the Daleks... the first female producer... employing an Asian director in 1963... Fascinating things. Ray Cusick pushing that pepperpot along the table and going, 'Hmmm!' Scenes kept popping up all the time. I started it with the end of The Tenth Planet, re-created in beautiful detail, and then just as Hartnell collapses on the floor, the camera pulls back, the lights come on and we're in the studio. And then Derek Martinus, the director, comes down, and tries to explain to everyone what they're going to do. And in the corner is a little shabbily-dressed man with black hair - making everyone laugh! And Martinus is trying to explain that they're going to mix between Billy and Patrick Troughton. And he says, "Bill...?" ... and he's not there. The camera ambles across the room to the central column of the TARDIS, and it goes up and down, up and down... then the doors open, and we go back to 1963. Beautiful.[/QUOTE]

Thumbed for potential spoilers for the 50th anniversary. There is a chance that this is completely fake though.
I'm going with completely fake so I'm going to talk about it. For one it contradicts the purpose of The Silence. If the question must never, ever be answered... they probably won't try to force it out of him.
The Silence want The Doctor dead so that he doesn't reach Trenzalore.

Yep; it doesn't gel with the whole concept that the Silence don't want the Doctor to reach Trenzalore. Personally I'm still under the impression that the Doctor's true name is some sort of spoken password, a name possessing unquantifiable power, related to the whole psychic wordcraft thing that the Carrionites used. The Fields of Trenzalore are a place where the old ways of reality, the "magic" used by the Pythia of ancient Gallifrey and the Carrionites, were underpinned by the Time Lords in an effort to bring order to a universe wracked by chaotic manipulation wherein the simplest of thoughts would be expressed energetically.
A world where things like magic and sorcery ran rampant and uncontrolled would be a place of pure madness, pure chaos, and no true sense of order; life would be nearly impossible, and it would be all too easy for the most powerful minds to change the laws that allows existence and unwittingly set off a chain of events that would shatter the very universe itself. That is why the Time Lords underpinned reality with the frameworks of science and technology, suppressing the ancient sorceries to the point where only truly powerful minds could make even the smallest of mystical alterations through a severely watered-down form of magic that many know as psychic power. That is why the Silence seek to stop the Doctor's eventual journey to Trenzalore; they seek to maintain the stability of the universe's laws and operations and stop the Doctor from unwittingly plunging the cosmos back into the ancient ways of chaos.
If he does end up revealing his true-name upon the Fields of Trenzalore, it may not only cause an overall breakdown of all technology, but also awaken beings from the previous universe, long dormant since the Big Crunch of their old timeline, including some of the most powerful things to ever exist. Things long thought impossible would become child's play; salt could snow from the sky, looks could turn men to stone, death would leave behind smoky spectres with no sense of morality, and inanimate objects would possess an intrinsic intelligence. Basically shit would be insane and the Doctor would have to find some way to reseal the ancient ways to restore order to the universe, or else watch the universe unravel as vital cosmic laws are reshaped and physical matter becomes a thing of the past.
OR it could be the opposite, as in the Silence want the universe to return to the unreal sorcerous ways of chaos, with the binding that imposed scientific law upon the universe wearing thin as time marches on, and the Doctor's true-name has the power to repair and fortify the binding of science; thus they want to stop the Doctor from reaching the Fields of Trenzalore, since when one has a time machine and essential immortality, countless delays mean nothing since you will inevitably arrive at your destination if you are truly destined to.
Ah, Moffat hinting at how good a multi-Doctor anniversary episode would be while writing it... that's some interesting timing.
