Something that may confirm at least part of The Mirror's story is in this article on Kasterborous. Apparently Steven Moffat did actually say "Getting the other Doctors involved would be very fitting for the anniversary episode, wouldn’t it?" So Who knows?
Did Steven Moffat Admit to The Eleven Doctors?

What do you really want for the Doctor Who 50th anniversary? Is it fun, excitement, the conclusion of a massive arc… or is it the satisfaction of seeing The Eleven Doctors, reunited as they should be?
We’re not sure either. Or we weren’t, until we learned this morning that Steven Moffat had tacitly admitted that a character crash of Time Lords was exactly what he had been writing…
We’ve heard from Doctor Who Online that Steven Moffat did indeed say those words at the BBC Drama Commissions event this week.Getting the other Doctors involved would be very fitting for the anniversary episode, wouldn’t it?
Reported in the Mirror, all surviving Doctors are believed to have agreed to take part in the anniversary special. We know that Colin Baker has denied involvement, but that was several weeks ago now – things might well have changed.
There are also suggestions that older Doctors – and those sadly no longer with us – will be represented using archive footage and CGI. Given that the production is being made in 3D and that mixing old footage with new can be done on a laptop with reasonable results, it’s fair to assume that this rumour can become a reality.
What do you think? Is this really an admission, or Steven Moffat subterfuge?Comment

While I'm pleased that the final episode of "The Tenth Planet" will be animated for a future DVD release, I have to say I'm disappointed that 2Entertain/the BBC have again chosen Planet 55 Studios to handle the animation.
I really didn't like the work they did on "The Reign of Terror". I thought it was pretty poor work compared to the animation for the missing episodes of "The Invasion" several years ago.sigpic

And the rumours are correct.
Daleks’ - Invasion of Earth: 2013AD
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/doctorwho...f-Earth-2013AD
The Daleks in London, earlier this morning! The Daleks invaded London earlier this morning and resistance was useless – insofar as it was impossible to resist the striking sight of the Doctor’s iconic enemies swarming through the capital!
But their presence was not part of a plan to enslave Earth – or at least that’s what the production team was telling us! The cast and crew of An Adventure in Space and Time were there to recreate some of the most memorable moments from Doctor Who’s early years – the scenes from The Dalek Invasion of Earth where the metal monsters imperiously glided through London, gloriously framed against the backdrop of famous sites like the Palace of Westminster.
Back in 1964 the photos of the ‘invasion’ became instant classics and over the years the imagery of those episodes has been referenced and updated on several occasions. But this is the first time that a production team has attempted to faithfully replicate the 1964 shoot using Daleks that were unique to that single adventure. The results look set to be stunning, as you can find out for yourselves when An Adventure in Space and Time - a one-off drama exploring the genesis of Doctor Who - debuts later this year.
But don’t worry if you can’t wait that long! We’ll shortly be posting a video shot on location that brings you a sense of the scale and excitement of this morning’s Dalek invasion…

'Doctor Who' 50th anniversary episode to be directed by Nick Hurran
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/s7/do...ck-hurran.html
Doctor Who's 50th anniversary episode is to be directed by Nick Hurran.
Hurran confirmed the news himself while appearing at the Glasgow Film Festival earlier today (February 17).
The filmmaker previously directed the episodes 'The Girl Who Waited', 'The God Complex', 'Asylum of the Daleks' and 'The Angels Take Manhattan'.
Filming for the episode will commence in April, while Steven Moffat will write the script.
Earlier this month, it was announced that the Who 50th anniversary special will be filmed in 3D, with showrunner Moffat promising "a whole new dimension of adventure for the Doctor to explore".
Doctor Who will return to BBC One with new episodes from March 30.Comment
