BBC America has unveiled a new poster for the highly anticipated television event The Day of the Doctor, which is a special 50th anniversary episode of Doctor Who.  The poster shows the TV special’s two leads, Matt Smith and David Tennant, standing back to back along with a disheveled John Hurt, and the episode also stars Jenna Coleman and Billie Piper.  There’s sure to be plenty more of promotional materials as we head closer to the episode’s premiere, but this poster is a nice tease of what’s to come.

Hit the jump to check out the new poster.  The Day of the Doctor will air on BBC America November 23rd.
