In the biggest news about the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special since David Tennant's appearance was announced last spring, actor Tom Baker revealed in a recent interview that he would be in this Saturday's 75-minute special.
"I am in the special," said Baker. "I'm not supposed to tell you that, but I tell you that very willingly and specifically; the BBC told me not to tell anybody but I'm telling you straightaway."
Baker's confirmation also prompts the question of whether other former living Doctors Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann or Eccleston might also make appearances. This has been roundly denied by the BBC previously. However, McGann, who played the Eighth Doctor, did appear in the Doctor Who minisode "Night of the Doctor," which debuted online last week.
As far as how the Baker will figure into the story, the actor didn't say but did call the circumstances of his character's appearance in the special "extraordinary."
"It worked out very well, I think, judging by the reactions of the technicians," he added.
