Going to go a little off beat today (a little?) and predict what will happen in the 2013 Doctor Who holiday specials.
Wait? Predicting 2013? But 2010 hasn't happened yet! Also, specials as in plural?
Well, yes. November 2013 is the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who, and if they at the BBC wanted to make an EPIC special, they could do a 2 parter with part 1 on (or about the day of) the 50th anniversary, and part 2 being Christmas Day.
So, what would happen in this special? The rumor has been out there for a while that (SPOILERS) The Voice heard during the 2010 series was Omega-who was introduced and was the villian in the 15th anniversary special "The 3 Doctors". In that it took, well, 3 Doctors (incarnations 1-3) to stop him. The 25th anniversary was "The 5 Doctors", which Rassillon (most recently played by Bond, James Bond Timothy Dalton) and needing (wait for it) 5 4 Incarnations to stop him.
Right now, there are 7 living actors who have (cannically) played The Doctor (not counting Curse of the Fatal Death, but I'm sure Hugh Grant is willing for a cameo) so a 50th anniversary 2 parter called "The 7 Doctors" isn't totally impossible. Load it up with all the available companions and maybe the SJA and Torchwood characters and there is a recipe for an amazing look at 50 years off Who.
