Update - Matt Smith on ITV's "This Morning"

The ITV "This Morning" website has now been updated with Tuesday's information and, at the moment, they have Matt scheduled in a 10 minute slot starting at 10.50am.

The show itself starts at 10.30am and, to be honest, it's probably best to just settle in front of the tv then so you won't miss it if they're running early or late.

Matt and Jenna to start the Media rounds...

The media circus ahead of the UK transmission of "The Snowmen" seems to be starting as Matt Smith is scheduled to appear on two shows tomorrow (Tuesday 18 December 2012).

He'll start by appearing with Jenna-Louise Coleman on BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show - the Breakfast Show starts at 6.30am but no time has yet been announced for the "Doctor Who" slot.

Matt will then be going over to ITV to appear on This Morning - apparently between 11am and 12noon and viewers will also be treated to a "sneak peek" at "The Snowmen". 

Matt is also a guest on The Graham Norton Show which airs on Friday 21 December 2012 at 10.35pm on BBC1.

Obviously, we'll try and keep you updated with appearances and will post videos etc as soon as they become available.

BBC Confirm Revamped Theme Tune and Opening Titles

The BBC Official Doctor Who site confirmed today that not only will we see a new Tardis interior in "The Snowmen" but we'll also get a revamped theme tune and opening title sequence.

We can’t give too much away about the new-look titles except to say they are wonderfully dramatic and striking, with a couple of unexpected touches. In short, they’re a perfect way to welcome back the Doctor!

And fans of the famous Doctor Who theme tune needn’t worry… This new arrangement remains true to the original, written by Ron Grainer back in 1963, but on Christmas Day you’ll hear it as it’s never sounded before. This latest version is more thrilling and powerful but retains that slightly scary quality that remains stirring no matter how many times you catch it.

To enjoy the revamped theme tune and opening title sequence, make sure you’re watching The Snowmen on BBC One, Christmas Day at 5.15pm.
