You don't have to wait for the 50th Anniversary Special for new Doctor Who content. A brand new minisode has been released that's a prequel to The Day of the Doctor. Clocking in at over six minutes, the minisode sees the return of a familiar face and answers an important question Doctor Who fans have been asking for years.
"The Bringer of Darkness, the Oncoming Storm, the Doctor, the Warrior - A Time Lord! The 50th Anniversary features Matt Smith, David Tennant and a mysterious incarnation played by John Hurt. Only one appears in the mini episode, The Night of the Doctor. But which? 23.11.13"
