The Doctor on Children in Need

The BBC Official Doctor Who site have issued the following press release:

Fans of the Doctor should tune into Children in Need on Friday night on BBC ONE.

There'll be a sneak peak of the Christmas Special plus a brief treat for anyone who can't wait until December to catch up with our favourite Time Lord! Written by Steven Moffat and starring Matt Smith as the Doctor, the Children in Need exclusive represents a first in the history of Doctor Who... But we'll tell you more about that nearer the end of the week!

The entire Doctor Who team has been an enthusiastic supporter of Children in Need for decades and over the years the big night has involved everything from clips to cast appearances.

And ahead of that, we'll be releasing the first exciting image from the Christmas Special tomorrow!

Apparently there will also be some shots of Matt Smith with Pudsey released at midnight tonight...
