As promised, the first trailer for the Doctor Who Fiftieth Anniversary Special–titled “Day of the Doctor”–aired just now and is available online via the BBC’s YouTube channel.You can see the embed below.Also as expected, the trailer doesn’t actually feature any footage from the special, which stars David Tennant, Matt Smith and John Hurt, all as The Doctor. It’s not clear how Hurt came to be in the role, since he’d never played the character before the most recent episode, last season’s finale titled “The Name of The Doctor.” Theories abound, from Hurt secretly being a Doctor nestled during the show’s long hiatus before showrunner Stephen Moffat brought it back to his being the “real” Ninth Doctor, with Christopher Eccleston really being an impostor.
