As the Doctor Who 50th anniversary continues this month and we prepare for the highly anticipated The Day of the Doctor, the BBC has released a mini-episode prequel to the upcoming special called The Night of the Doctor.

Watch the nearly 7-minute mini episode here below – and trust me, you will definitely want to. There’s lots to see and some surprises, too – I don’t want to spoil it, so scroll down and watch!

While Whovians are gearing up for the big 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who, one remarkable fan is celebrating by doing his best to do so by getting fans to donate to charity.

Craig Hurle, Whovian Extraordinaire and admin of one of the most popular (and by far the best) Facebook fan pages called The Doctor Who Hub, is reaching out to Whovians to donate to the Unite Against Cancer charity – an organization set up in 2012 to fund research into new cancer treatments.

Using the JustGiving.com site, which is like Kickstarter but for charitable causes, Hurle has set up Doctor Who Fans Unite Against Cancer, with a deadline of November 23, 2013, otherwise now forever known as the Day of the Doctor.

While audiences are gearing up for The Day Of The Doctor, Doctor Who fans can also expect another great special coming from the BBC called An Adventure In Space And Time – telling the story of how Doctor Who came to be in real life, 50 years ago on November 23 – an valuable depiction of the beginning of what would become a cultural phenomenon and the longest-running sci-fi series in history.

Mark Gatiss, of Doctor Who and Sherlock fame, writes and produces the special, which features David Bradley (Harry Potter, Game of Thrones) as William Hartnell – the first Doctor – in a piece of casting that sees Bradley look just like Hartnell. The similarities are eerie.

An Adventure In Space And Time tells of how the television show came into being, the importance of first showrunner Verity Lambert (played by Jessica Raine), and the world-shattering approach in the impossible task of trying to tell stories on poor budgeting and how much of a phenomenon the series quickly became.

This week has seen the release of several trailers for the upcoming Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special, The Day of the Doctor.

Now, BBC America has released their exclusive trailer for The Day of the Doctor. Watch it here below.

Doctor Who: The Day of the Doctor, which stars Matt Smith and Jenna Coleman and will see guest appearances by David Tennant, Billie Piper, John Hurt, and many more, airs on Saturday, November 23, 2013 at 7:50pm GMT on BBC One and 2:50pm EST on BBC America.

Last month, we got to see the teaser celebrating BBC’s 50 years of Doctor Who and their upcoming 50th Anniversary Special, The Day of the Doctor.

Now, the trailer for The Day of the Doctor has been released! Watch it here below.

Unlike the teaser, this new trailer has actual footage from the upcoming television special, which stars Matt Smith and Jenna Coleman and will see guest appearances by David Tennant, Billie Piper, John Hurt, and many more.

Also here below is a video of the eleventh doctor, Matt Smith, explaining what hashtags are and why they’re important. There’s also an anniversary special tie-in video from Strax, who gives a field report about The Zygons.

[UPDATE]: A second, longer trailer was just released – see it here below!
