The BBC will air a special 3D episode of Doctor Who later this year as part of the show’s 50th anniversary celebration.

Doctor Who turns 50 in November and Steven Moffat, lead writer and producer, says the latest 3D program will bring a “whole new dimension of adventure for the Doctor to explore.”

A previous 3D escapade marked Doctor Who’s 30th anniversary in 1993, Dimensions in Time, broadcast as part of Children In Need. It was shot on EastEnders’ Albert Square set, and featured cast members from the soap opera as well as Doctor Who stars past and present.
