Doctor Who Anniversary Special To Be Over An Hour Says The Moff


Steven Moffat in an interview with Entertainment weekly has shared that the 50th Anniversary Special will be longer than 60 minutes.  In fact he goes on to say that it will be movie length.  He goes on say how fun it was watching the two Doctors together and even something about John Hurt.  Here is an excerpt from the interview.

The length of the special

“I think you could call it movie-length, yeah. I mean, I’m saying that with a slight hint of vagueness because I don’t know the finished running time. [Laughs] It’s certainly well over an hour.”
 About the 10th and 11th Doctors together
 “They really loved each other and had a huge laugh together. And of course they’ve been through this experience that only the two of them can talk about, really, in the modern world. They are the two people that have played that part at a time when the series is this big. They spent the entire time just sitting together talking animatedly. They’re quite a fun pairing, I would say. There’s a bit of the normal joshing of each other but they’re both such enthusiastic Doctors. While they might be sort of competing slightly, they’re both standing there saying, “Oh god, it’s so cool, there’s two of me!” So, it’s very different. I think the other one that worked brilliantly was Jon Pertwee and Patrick Troughton. They were incredibly funny together. This is very different from that but it’s a sublime double act.”

And here is that quote about John Hurt
 “You get a whole new Doctor played by a proper screen legend.”
