Matt Smith, Comic Relief, 15 March 2013 (Credit: BBC)Both Matt Smith and David Tennant are appearing in this year's Red Nose Day broadcast - though whether they appear together remains to be seen. The Comic Relief charity event marks its 25th anniversary this year, and is one of the final programmes to be broadcast from BBC Television Centre, which closes this month. [BBC One, from 7:00pm, Fri 15 Mar]



Matt was a guest on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show this morning, talking about the return of Doctor Who on Easter Saturday (in which he also confirms the title of The Crimson Horror with Diana Rigg), working on the series in Cardiff, abd the 3D 50th Anniversary - but wouldn't be drawn on whether other Doctors would be involved! [BBC Radio Two, from 6:30am, Fri 15 Mar]

Earlier in the week the actor was the subject of Meet the Star, a regular event at London's Apple Store; interviewed by Boyd Hilton, he spoke about the forthcoming run of episodes (confirming the title of The Hider in the House (but subsequently officially renamed Hide) with Dougray Scott) and the 50th Anniversary special (which he'd read the day before). A video of the event should be made available soon via iTunes.

Matt continues his media frenzy tomorrow, where he will be a guest on The Jonathan Ross Show. [ITV, from 9:20pm, Sat 16 Mar]
