BBC had released a special Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Prequel! To get the fans even more excited for the 50th celebration episode "Day of the Doctor" on the 23rd November! The prequel named "The Night of the Doctor" sees the Paul McGann reprise his role as the 8th doctor! Watch the short prequel here:
The Metro created this synopsis:
"The prequel features two scenes. In the first, a young woman named Cass is trapped on a crashing spaceship and encounters Paul McGann’s eighth Doctor, who has arrived to rescue her. However, she recoils in fear upon realising he is a Time Lord with a TARDIS, saying that there is no longer any difference between the Gallifreyans and the Daleks.
The second scene finds a dying but temporarily revived Doctor among the Sisterhood of Karn, a female order dedicated to protecting the Sacred Flame, the source of the life-extending Elixir of Life.
Their high priestess Ohila sees the Doctor as perhaps the last hope to end the ongoing Time War between the Daleks and the Time Lords, and questions his decision not to join the battle. She offers him an elixir to control the outcome of his regeneration. He chooses to become a warrior and regenerates into John Hurt’s Doctor."
Paul McGann was the 8th doctor and the 9th was Christopher Eccleston which means that John Hurt has been confirmed to play the doctor in between! The real 9th doctor. There are a lot of further links to past series' and companions!
A clip from the Day of the Doctor will be shown in tomorrows Children in Need.
