Doctor Who - Who Will be the Next Doctor? - Trailer [UPDATE - Press Release Added]

Aug 2, 2013

Share on Reddit
In a special one-off live television event on BBC One this Sunday 4 August at 7pm, the next Doctor will be exclusively revealed to the nation.

Widely regarded as one of the most hotly contested roles in British television, the show's host Zoe Ball will unveil the 12th Doctor in the first-ever interview in front of a live studio audience set against the backdrop of a swirling vortex, among Daleks and the TARDIS.

The half-hour show will include live special guests, Doctors old and new, as well as companions and celebrity fans.

Excitement will reach fever pitch as they speculate and recall their favourites, plus feature clips and moments from across the show's 50-year history.

Current Doctor Matt Smith and lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat will both give interviews about one of the biggest roles in TV and set out just what it takes to be the Doctor.

Steven Moffat says: “The decision is made and the time has come to reveal who’s taking over the TARDIS. For the last of the Time Lords, the clock is striking twelve.”

Charlotte Moore, Controller of BBC One, says: “BBC One is the home of big live events and this special live show is the perfect way to reveal the identity of the next Doctor and share it with the nation. The Doctor is a truly iconic role and I’m more than excited about the booking.”

Ben Stephenson, Controller of BBC Drama Commissioning says: 'We can't wait to unveil the next Doctor with everyone live on BBC One on Sunday night. Amongst all the speculation and betting, there has been lots of fun and intrigue at work as we've been using the codename Houdini as a decoy! It’s the biggest secret in showbiz, even those working with the new Doctor on other projects at the moment have no idea they are in the presence of the 12th incarnation.”

Keep up to date with all the latest news about the show and special guests as we build to the big climax over the next few days, and follow facebook.com/BBCOne, and @bbcdoctorwho and bbc.co.uk/doctorwho.

The special live show is made by BBC Entertainment and Events for BBC One. Guy Freeman is Executive producer and Pinki Chambers is Executive Commissioning Editor. It was commissioned by Charlotte Moore, Controller of BBC One.

The show will be simulcast live on BBC America.

Doctor Who is produced by BBC Cymru Wales

  4. It kind of feels like the casting of the Doctor has become bigger than the character itself.

  7. Sooo... a couple of weeks ago, Moff said in the Comic-con that it was too soon... and now, two weeks later, it has been decided?? Riiiiiight... And there will be only 3 Doctors in the 50th Anniversary... Suuuure. Personally, I won't believe a single word that comes from anyone Dr Who related in regards of the 50th or the 12th Doctor. LIARS!!!! :)

  9. That is very true actually and it starts so early like as soon as a Doctor has done one season and media is like "THEY ARE GOING TO LEAVE NEXT SERIES WHO WILL BE THE X DOCTOR?"

    Really interested on why this year has so much fuss about this.



    Even when Matt Smith was about to be cast, they did not do so much as this time. And that was arguably bigger since Tenant was far more loved.

  15. They still had a show announcing the new Doctor though. I think this year it being the 50th as well adds to the hype.

  16. I think 'arguably' is the key word there.


    But also, the revival has now been on air for longer, which has amassed more fans worldwide. Ergo, this regeneration will attract more buzz.
