Erm, yes, I already knew that, hence THIS post about a page ago
Well, the Doctor Who proms were last night. Whilst we UK'ers heard it live on the radio, it was recorded for a future airdate, and here's some clips from it
"I am The Doctor"

Disappear into light!!
Care to talk more on what exactly you didn't like about 7-b?
On the whole, I like this latest season. There are parts that didn't gel with me in a lot of the episodes, and I didn't care for 'Crimson Horror' outside of some of the jokes and villain. But it was entertaining and there's a lot of good to be said about the season. And I honestly loved how each episode referenced something of the Classic Doctors. Really, this half season probably made more references to the classic series than the rest of the modern series combined.

Well I'm on episode 9 "hide" now, and it looks to be great just like all the other episodes, but they're lacking an 'umph!' Not sure how to explain it. 'The Bells of Saint John' was at least half boring, the episode with the Wifi was great, the episode with the singing little girl "Queen of Ages" I believe? Was not bad, the little girl was adorable throughout. Now, 'Cold War' was pretty 'ehh'.
This is episode made me realize I don't think I'm a fan of the closed space themed episodes. Like when the Oods were first introduced, or when Martha was floating away in space, or even the doppelganger episode. Those episodes named had fun parts, but equally as boring.
I hate to use such a simple non-descriptive word such as 'boring', but I couldn't really put my finger on it.

Interesting viewpoint, "base under seige" stories were an often a revered element of Classic Who.
Anyhoo, the Comic Con panel unveiled the trailers for the Hartnell docudrama and the 50th anniversary episode for those in attendence, and some photos were released online to 'make up' for the lack of any distribution of the trailer from the BBC.
Here's a description of the 50th trailer
[hide]
The trailer starts out on a haunting, dark note — Matt Smith is walking in the TARDIS, while in voiceover he says, “I’ve had many faces. Many lives. I don’t admit to all of them. There’s one life I’ve tried very hard to forget.” And we glimpse the Doctor talking to Clara about his greatest secret.
And then — what looks like the Time War, between the Daleks and the Time Lords! Seriously. Daleks blowing up, flames everywhere, everything going to Hell. And in the middle of all the carnage, John Hurt as the non-Doctor, looking resolute. “Great men are forged in fire,” he says. And then something about being the man who lit the flames.
And then, we get Tennant and Smith. Tennant, in his TARDIS, yells “Allons-y,” while Matt Smith, in his, yells “Geronimo!”
Rose pops up and warns that “the moment is coming.” And John Hurt’s non-Doctor says that he is ready for what’s going to happen.
And then: the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors comparing their sonic screwdrivers, as Tennant looks possibly a bit jealous of Smith’s screwdriver. And then a shot of both of them wearing clever glasses, while Smith wears his fez and they look delighted with their cool gear. And then a glimpse of Rose, looking excited.
Oh, and the TARDIS being airlifted down to Trafalgar Square with the Doctor hanging down from it.
Smith is in the TARDIS, when he says, “I remember this. I pretty much remember.” And we see twinkly lights traveling across the Earth.
David Tennant and John Hurt are inside Matt Smith’s TARDIS. “Oh, you’ve redecorated. I don’t like it,” Tennant says, channeling Patrick Troughton in “The Three Doctors.”
A title appears: “This fall, the Doctor will face his darkest day: Himself.”
And we see Zygons, plural. Busting out of a glass case. And then some more shots of Daleks blowing up and being torn apart and generally being Da-wrecked.
Inside the TARDIS, Tennant tells Smith, “For once, I would like to know where I’m going.” Smith responds: “No, you really wouldn’t.”
And then, someone says, “I’m looking for the Doctor.” And the camera pans around to show Hurt, Tennant and Smith, with the two Doctors trying not to look at their unacknowledged predecessor. Tennant shrugs and says, “Well, you’ve certainly come to the right place.” [/hide]

Some arguments are coming out because of comments made at Comic Con. Moffat was explicitly asked why Jack Harkness wasn't in the Anniversary Special, and Moffat's response was "how do you know who is and isn't in the special?"
John Barrowman confirmed again this morning that no, he is not in the special, and if Jack is in it, they have another actor playing him.

Moffat asked no one to release the Comic-Con trailer. Ugh this is frustrating.
