Confused by this one. How do you link that death report to the television actress?

Carole Ann Ford looks well here. Warris Hussain looks frail through.

Yeah it looks as if Russell is actually holding him up.

Lovely to see some of these faces, especially Carole Ann Ford as I'm working my way through her episodes. However, Tennant aside, is there not a conspicuous lack of the doctors themselves in these celebrations?

There has been the Tales of Tardis on iPlayer focusing on classic Doctors, Unsurprisingly Big Finish has dragged out everyone for a series of Audio Dramas and There's also the whole back catalogue going onto iPlayer and some things for BBC Sounds (In said Radio Times issue above the one of the main features is an interview with Tom Baker).

 

The 60th specials are still yet to air but from what's advertised it is just David and Ncuti, but as always there's endless rumours of other Doctors but I doubt that Douglas Camfield will be dug up to reprise his role as one of the Morbius Doctors. Even if it is just David in the 60th there are other era's represented through the Toymaker, the Meep, UNIT, and Bonnie Langford.

 

If you look at the 50th it was Tennant and Smith (and the retconned John Hurt) in the special with a cameo from Tom Baker. Davison and co. did that comedy skit, McGann has his regeneration minisode, Big Finish had a badly written celebration and there was the Docu-Drama with David Bradley. There was also the coincidence of them finding Enemy of the World & Web of Fear around the same time.

 

I think there is less for the 60th but obviously the 50th is more important anyway. There's also the fact that we have just had a big special episode with returning Doctors for the BBC's 100th anniversary so it might not be the best idea to have another straight away.

The second episode has had no prescreening and no synopsis even for the RT. It is possible there are some big surprises there in
