This years Children In Need will contain a massive treat for Doctor Who fans. As part of the telethon Doctor Who bosses are planning a fifteen minute special which will feature the new Timelord, Matt Smith, along with all previous ten incarnations, including David Tennant.

The three actors who have since died, William Hartnell, Jon Pertwee and Patrick Troughton – will be included by using images from their original shows.

A source told The Mirror: “This is a momentous episode for all Doctor Who fans. Never before have all the Doctors been in the same room, let alone in the same show.

“It’s been a logistical nightmare getting all the actors together and available for shooting on the same days.

“But the script has already been started and it’s classic Doctor Who – really witty and very sharp.

“Viewers will see the Time Lords regenerating and emerging one by one from the Tardis, each with their own quirky opening line.

“David Tennant is the central character in the episode. He’s trying to hunt down some special time travel apparatus.

“What he’s actually lost has not yet been decided, but the idea is for all the other Doctors to club together to help David find it.

“The actors who are no longer with us, William, Jon and Patrick, will make special cameo appearances, with footage from original shows being flashed up on screen.

“It’s a really exciting project – and all for a good cause.”
