====== Eleventh Doctor Special Episodes ======
After much discussion, it was decided that Matt Smith and Jenna Coleman would return for a series of specials to mark the shows 65th anniversary. The episodes would be set throughout their adventures in Series 7B to avoid any clash with time and space itself. The episodes would be aired in the week leading up to the 65th anniversary as 1 hour long episodes.
