TV Talk: Doctor Who 50th Anniversary etc

You've probably all seen the trailer. The Doctor Who 50th Anniversary trailer was released Saturday on BBC One. I've been a massive Whovian since Nu-Who (The term for Doctor Who since the re-boot) began in 2005. Frankly, I think the Russell T Davies era was the Golden time but I still watch every episode.
The 50th is special because it's sees the return of Doctor number 10, David Tennant.
Tennant is the fan favourite Doctor, and teams up with current Doctor, Matt Smith.
Also returning is Rose Tyler, played by Billie Piper. Companion of the 9th and 10th Doctors, who seemingly left the programme for the second and last time in 2008.
Jenna Louise Coleman plays Matt's current companion, Clara Oswald, who also returns.
A new and talked about appearance is that of John Hurt, who is playing an incarnation of the Doctor who has been forgotten about because of the things he did wrong.
Now , the word on the internet id that Hurt's Doctor comes between 8 and 9. This is possible because there was a long gap (Which I can't completely remember in years) between 8's TV movie and 9's Debut in NuWho.
From the trailer and other news clippets, we can see that the 50th will take place simultaneously in Olden England, where 10 gets involved once again with Queen Elizabeth I, in modern day England, where 11 and Clara pick up the pieces in a museum. And also in Space, where the end of the time war is finally shown on series.
Rose's eyes appear to be glowing in one shot; could this be the return of the BAD WOLF?
So as well as that, we will see some Daleks, Zygons and hundreds more possibilities.
I think the 50th still has many surprises up it's sleeve, some that will not be released till the episode itself.

Other TV: Misfits Season 5
I've been watching Misfits for a while now, and have seen all episodes. While like most fans, I was upset when the gang changed numerous times. Now, none of the original cast are in it. But so far, Season 5 has surprised me. The longer episodes now have multiple stories going on at once, which gets you very immersed. Also , each episode focuses mainly on one of the characters, giving everyone even more depth. I love Greg the secret gay probation worker, and found myself laughing like hell as he admitted himself to a bewildered Finn in the last episode. The episodes of Season 5 have already beaten Season 4 for me.
