The BBC has released the first of its sneak peaks of the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special, The Day of the Doctor. The official trailer will be aired on BBC One on Saturday evening at 8.00 p.m. Given the precedent set by the release of the teaser trailer several weeks ago, it can only be assumed that the trailer will appear online immediately after its broadcast.
Here’s a closer look at the painting the sneak peak

The BBC has released a promotional video for Doctor Who’s #SaveTheDay promotion. In the 40 second clip the Eleventh Doctor waxes lyrical about his “like” for hastags and implores fans to “Show your Support. I need to know the world is ready!”.
As if any more of a hype is required, the Beeb is encouraging fans to use the #SaveTheDay hashtag to help unlock sneak peak preview clips of the Anniversary episode, The Day of the Doctor. A #SaveTheDay website has been established on which a selection of fans’ messages will displayed as golden “nodes” on the site. To be in the running to have your messages, images or videos displayed, just add the hastag #SaveTheDay to your Twitter, Facebook or Instagram post. Posts are moderated and not all will be shown.

The BBC Media Centre has published a synopsis of Doctor Who’s 50th Anniversary Special, The Day of the Doctor. In Australia the episode will air early on the morning of Sunday 24 November on ABC1 and will be repeated at 7.30 p.m. that evening. The BBC’s synopsis states as follows:
The Doctors embark on their greatest adventure in this 50th anniversary special.
In 2013, something terrible is awakening in London’s National Gallery; in 1562, a murderous plot is afoot in Elizabethan England; and somewhere in space an ancient battle reaches its devastating conclusion. All of reality is at stake as the Doctor’s own dangerous past comes back to haunt him.
Written by Steven Moffat
Directed by Nick Hurran
Executive produced by Steven Moffat and Faith Penhale
Produced by Marcus Wilson
Stars: Matt Smith, David Tennant and Jenna Coleman with Billie Piper and John Hurt
