The website Den of Geek has an article contemplating what could be in the announced special for the 50th anniversary.

You can read the article here:

You can find out more information about the first few stories from the BBC Media Center (AKA Press Office) here:

I won't say anything here to avoid spoiling things for anybody.

The BBC's "Doctor Who" website has confirmed the story with the article at this link:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/doctorwho/articles/Richard-E-Grant-and-Tom-Ward-to-Star-in-the-Christmas-Special

The story from the website also mentions that Tom Ward will also be in the Christmas special as well. However I'm not really familiar with his work  but here is a link to wikipedia for his bio and filmography:

Richard E. Grant is known for his voice work on "Scream of the Shalka" but he may be better well-known for his role in the Francis Ford Copola version of "Bram Stoker's Dracula" where hr played the part of Dr. Seward and more recently the movie "The Iron Lady". For a more detailed look at his io and filmography you can go to the wikipedia link here:

Cool. I will have to check it out. Thanks for the info.

One that I would remove from the list would be Tasmin Drew - not because it's not a televised episode but because she wasn't that much of a henchman in my eyes.

I would include the robots (from "Robots of Death") because when they were reprogrammed they became cold emotionless henchmen to their new boss Taren Capel, that would even kill for him without a second thought.

Another inclusion would be Mr. Sin (from  "The Talons of Weng-Chiang"). He was a killer and henchman for the maniacal Magnus Greel in the story and did so with no concern for the consequences to himself.

BBC America has e-cards as a "little extra" ro be a companion for the upcoming specials.

For the card for the first Special "The Science of "Doctor Who""

For the second e-card to go with "The Women of "Doctor Who"" (the second special).

http://www.bbcamerica.com/doctor-who/extras/ecards/the-women-of-doctor-who/

for the third special "The Timey-Wimey of "Doctor Who"" the companion e-card can be found here:

http://www.bbcamerica.com/doctor-who/extras/ecards/timey-wimey-stuff-of-doctor-who/

and for the e-card that companions the last special, "The Destinations of "Doctor Who"", you can find it here:

http://www.bbcamerica.com/doctor-who/extras/ecards/the-destinations-of-doctor-who/

It's not much but it is "a little something extra" made available for the the specials.

Enjoy!

Thanks for posting this... I had heard that there would be some BBC America specials coming this way, but not their titles. "The Science of Doctor Who" --- interesting. I didn't think there was any left in the series as of the last several years. Do the writers of the series know about it? 

Hopefully these specials will find their way to iTunes after they are broadcast, but who knows (no pun intended).

Thanks Troy,

The video is now embedded into your comment. A very fitting tribute. Thanks for sharing it with us.
