Are these Screenshots from The Day of The Doctor?

October 24th, 2013 by Marc 1 Comment

Earlier today some images began popping up around Facebook, which were alleged screenshots from a Day of The Doctor trailer.  

The Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Zone, among other fan pages, was then swamped by Whovians calling the images “Fake”, with some pointing out that the shot of Matt Smith was clearly taken from this years episode “The Crimson Horror”.  All of the images have since been removed from the social networking site.

The trailer was said to contain shots of John Hurts mystery Doctor standing in a fiery vortex referred to as The Moment, Rose Tyler falling as the ground crumbles from below her feet, The Tenth and Eleventh Doctors together in the Tardis and The Doctors beloved time ship engaged in a spectacular dog fight with hundreds of Dalek saucers above the skies of Gallifrey.  It all sounds too good to be true doesn’t it?  Thats probably because it is, being nothing more than a bit of fun fan-fiction.  We reckon.

The Day of The Doctor, if you somehow didn’t know, will be simulcast across the globe this November 23rd.  Check out the awesome 50 Years trailer below –

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
