'Centenary' special rumour alert

New details have supposedly leaked for the Centenary special.

Promotion for the special will begin in August with a ‘big’ trailer. The 90 minute special will air Sunday 16th October and will also be released in cinemas.

SPOILER:

Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and David Bradley will be making cameos alongside a number of classic companions including Jo Jones and K9. David Tennant will also be returning in the special (for obvious reasons).

However, apparently the BBC are not happy with the final cut as it has been described as ”a bit of a mess.”
