I know it's a long way away till the eighth series is even aired/released on DVD etc. But would anyone know if the 50th will be included on the eighth series boxset when it's released around this time, next year?

Apologies if someone has already asked this.

I don't think anyone could say conclusively, though I would 99% guarantee that the Anniversary Special will not be included in Series 8, nor will the upcoming Christmas Special. The way I see it is that these two upcoming specials sit outside of the 'series' label entirely.

In terms of keeping things looking as tidy as can be I see these two upcoming episodes as 'The Eleventh Doctor Specials'... his era will be rounded off much like the Tenth Doctor's was with his 'Tenth Doctor Specials', outside of numerical series

Series 1 - Eccleston

Series 2 - Tennant
Series 3 - Tennant
Series 4 - Tennant
Specials - Tennant

Series 5 - Smith
Series 6 - Smith
Series 7 - Smith
Specials - Smith

My question is also about the special .. is the 3D version going to be red button only ?

I'm going to add my anniversary related question here too. Does anyone know of a comprehensive list of EVERYTHING that is going to be broadcast this week on television and radio? RT is not very helpful in this matter.

i think so, however im sure it will be uploaded to the usual sites within an hour of broadcast,

Here you go, best I've seen, also if you can get Radio Wales they are doing a special on Thursday at 10am featuring Steven Moffat, Jenna and others from the Doctor Who Experience.
