Okay folks, as if that title wasn't enough, this is potentially a massive spoiler for Saturday's episode - it's another "not even using images" thing - so seriously, don't read if you don't want to know... Those who do, then please mind the gap.
A Classic era Doctor has confirmed that he will appear in the fiftieth anniversary episode.
With just a few days to go until transmission, Tom Baker has let the cat out of the bag.
Speaking to The Huffington Post, Baker said: "I am in the special. I'm not supposed to tell you that, but I tell you that very willingly and specifically; the BBC told me not to tell anybody but I'm telling you straightaway."
The BBC was then contacted to comment on Baker's statement, to which they replied: "As with William Hartnell's recent appearance in the last season finale, anything is possible in Doctor Who. But nothing is certain."
To what extent Baker is involved is still a mystery - and they'll have to use some serious make-up/hairpiece to make him look anything like the four of old, but this is fucking exciting nevertheless.
Tom Baker has never previously appeared in a multi-Doc adventure proper (we don't count Dimensions In Time, and scenes from Shada were used for The Five Doctors), and now two have come along at once - he also stars alongside Docs five-eight in the Big Finish birthday bash The Light At The End.
Peter Davison has also previously mentioned seeing "his script" for the anniversary celebrations, but it is not known if he meant The Day Of The Doctor or not.
The Day Of The Doctor stars Matt Smith, David Tennant, Jenna Coleman, Billie Piper, Jemma Redgrave, John Hurt and Tom Fucking Baker, and airs worldwide at 7:50 GMT on November 23rd.
