doctor_who_50th_anniversaryThe Doctor Who 50th Anniversary special will be airing on Saturday, November 23rd, and it will be airing simultaneously around the world – about 2 p.m. here in Boston – which is a far cry from the days when the show rebooted with Christopher Eccleston back in 2005. Back then, no American broadcaster gave enough of a shit about Doctor Who to broadcast it in the United States until the Sci-Fi Channel picked it up 2006, causing Amanda to send me out into the darker areas of the Internet to, um, acquire them.

Needless to say, anticipation is running high for this special, which will include the Matt Smith, David Tennant and new John Hurt Doctors, along with Billie Piper coming back for the first time in years. So to stoke the flames, the BBC has released two trailers for the special, which you can check out after the jump. Go ahead and check them out; it’ll be much more fun and less fraught with potential lawsuits than trolling the places I had to back in 2005.
