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"

We don't want to say much about this minisode, as longtime Doctor Who fans will really enjoy it and we don't want to ruin the surprise. For more details on The Day of the Doctor, visit our earlier coverage at:
