The Eleven Doctors
The Mirror has an interesting Dr Who rumour: apparently there are plans for an Eleven Doctors special.
According to the Mirror the 15 minute special will be made for Children In Need, the Beeb’s annual charity telethon. All eleven official Doctors – including David Tennant and Matt Smith – will be represented, either directly or via material from the original shows. The latter method was famously used in The Five Doctors where clips from Shada were used for Tom Baker.
The special will apparently start filming in September and air in November. According to the Mirror’s source:
It’s been a logistical nightmare getting all the actors together and available for shooting on the same days. But the script has already been started and it’s classic Doctor Who – really witty and very sharp. Viewers will see the Time Lords regenerating and emerging one by one from the Tardis, each with their own quirky opening line.
The official BBC line seems to be to downplay expectations. A spokesman said:
Nothing has been finalised yet, although there is discussion of a Children in Need Doctor Who special. It is too early to say what
Still, Russell T. Davies had previously hinted at one more appearance of Tennant’s Doctor in addition to those already announced. Maybe this could be it, whether or not the other ten actors are present.
