Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special Gets Tennant & More

David Tennant, Billie Piper and John Hurt will all join the cast of the show's biggest episode ever!
The BBC have today announced the exhilarating news of the first confirmed guest stars for the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special. Starring Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor and Jenna-Louise Coleman as Clara Oswald, this breathtaking new adventure has now been confirmed to star David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor, Billie Piper as Rose Tyler and John Hurt in an unrevealed role.

David starred as the Doctor in Doctor Who for four full years, 2006-2009, from The Christmas Invasion to The End Of Time as well as appearing in an episode of The Sarah Jane Adventures in 2009 too. Billie meanwhile appeared as Rose in the first and second seasons of the revived shows alongside David and previously Christopher Eccleston. It's unknown whether Chris will make an appearance in the upcoming feature-length adventure, but for now we should certainly be happy with this news to kick off the celebrations!

John Hurt will also be a part of the episode- John's roles in the worldwide entertainment industry have been numerous, from Alien to Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, from V For Vendetta to Merlin, making him a truly magnificent scoop for this celebratory Special. We also know that theatre actor Ken Bones will play 'The General', and you can be sure that we'll learn more as the weeks progress through the new season and indeed towards the time of the anniversary celebrations.

Doctor Who returns tonight at 6.15pm on BBC1 with a new season of blockbuster adventures, and the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special will broadcast on BBC1, BBC HD, BBC 3D and in British cinemas on November 23rd as part of a wealth of celebrations.
