The Day of the Doctor will be broadcast at 7.50 p.m., on BBC One on Saturday, 23 November 2013,
it has been announced.
The timeslot, which will be vacated by Atlantis — currently in its first season — and is one of the latest times
Doctor Who has ever been broadcast.
Earlier this week, the BBC released broadcasting details for
Mark Gatiss’s An Adventure in Space and Time — the 90-minute film that documents the creation and early years of what has become the world’s longest-running sci-fi TV series.

An Adventure in Space and Time — which
stars David Bradley as the First Doctor and also as the actor who originally played him, William Hartnell — will air in the UK on BBC Two just two days before
Doctor Who’s actual birthday: Thursday, 21 November 2013, at 9 p.m.
Also, one week before, BBC Two will present a televised Royal Society lecture —
The Science of Doctor Who — by Professor Brian Cox (
Stargazing LIVE). The 60-minute talk
will air in the UK at 9 p.m., on Thursday, 14 November 2013.
All these programmes form part of a much wider TV, radio and online
Doctor Who output, details of which were published some weeks ago.
The
BBC are releasing two trailers for
The Day of the Doctor this weekend. The
first airs on TV this evening (Saturday, 9 November 2013). The second is scheduled for sometime on Sunday evening.
