With ideas, notions and no end of speculation flying back and forth on just what form the fiftieth anniversary may take, one thing is certain; the Doctor Who crew are going to do something special to mark this momentous occasion and now, thanks to Matt Smith, we have an idea about when what they are planning to film will go in front of cameras.
Speaking to the Waikato Times (via Stuff.NZ), Matt hinted that filming on the special would take place in early 2013:
While not being draw on just what the cast and crew will be filming Matt did again address rumours of his eventual departure:
Something that is confirmed and already filmed is the departure of the Amy and Rory; an event that finds Matt in a philosophical mood:
Perhaps, looking further afield to what impact his era may for future generations Matt also addresses the oft-criticised ‘scary’ nature of series six:

My personal feeling is that Matt will stay through 2014, and then depart. He’s stated that Steven Moffat has already shared some series 8 ideas with him, and that he’s interested in what he heard. I certainly hope he does.
Matt Smith has been excellent. Three series in and he has not yet given in to a self-indulgent performance. Still brilliant and still watchable.
I look forward to seeing him spark with Jenna-Louise C.
I think it would be cool if Matt left part of the way through a season–it would be hard to keep quiet, but would be interesting to see a mid-season regeneration and how everyone reacted to it.
