• The Culture Show, BBC Two's flagship arts programme, will run an episode called "Me, You and Doctor Who", with lifelong fan Matthew Sweet exploring the cultural significance of the BBC's longest running TV drama.
•  Put simply, Doctor Who matters. He’ll examine how the show has become a cultural force in its own right and tell the stories of some of the unsung cultural heroes, who pioneered its innovative music, design and storytelling. It is an hour long.

It is 30 minutes long.
• Blue Peter will launch a new competition. Aimed at viewers 6-14, it will give viewers a chance to dream up a new gadget that will become a part of the series.
• Blue Peter will have two live Doctor Who specials which we will see presenters Barney, Lindsey and Radzi joined by aliens and monsters, with viewers challenging Matt Smith to answer their Doctor Who questions. 
• BBC Three will launch "Doctor Who: Monsters and Villains Weekend" that countdowns to the top Doctor Who Monster. 
• BBC Three will also show Doctor Who: The Ultimate Guide will introduce the new fans and viewers to the show. Third time lucky, eh?
• A further BBC Three commission to be announced later this year which "will see the celebrations finish with a bang".

That's for TV, but what about Radio?

•  A 90-minute documentary on BBC Radio 2 will ask "Who Is The Doctor?" - using newly-recorded interviews and exclusive archive material to find an answer
• In The Blagger’s Guide To Doctor Who, David Quantick will give the iconic Doctor the Blagger’s treatment. He’ll be finding out the answers to questions such as, why do Americans think Tom Baker is still Doctor Who? How many Doctors have there really been? Were the Daleks really named after an encyclopaedia?
• Graham Norton will present his weekly Radio 2 show live from the Doctor Who Celebration in London. It is 3 hours long and is Saturday 23 November at 10am.
• Radio 1 willlook at the genre of music known as "Time Lord Rock" in a 60 minute documentary.
• Radio 4 Extra will present a 3-hour special on "Who Made Who?" to look at the world that inspired the TV series.

Danny Cohen, Director BBC Television said: "It's an astonishing achievement for a drama to reach its 50th anniversary.

"I'd like to thank every person - on both sides of the camera - who has been involved with its creative journey over so many years."

Steven Moffat, lead writer and executive producer on Doctor Who said: "50 years has turned Doctor Who from a television show into a cultural landmark. Personally I can't wait to see what it becomes after a hundred."

And as previously posted, the 50th is to be named "The Day of the Doctor" and to be 75-minutes long.

We will, as ever, try to get all these up.
