With season 5 of 'Doctor Who' hitting DVD last week, Craig Ferguson declared Tuesday's 'Late Late Show' "Doctor Who Night."

The 11th Doctor, Matt Smith, was the evening's main guest, although Chris Hardwick of 'Attack of the Show' helped with e-mails and Twitters, decked out in a Tom Baker-era Who scarf and a t-shirt with a DeLoreon driving into TARDIS.

And to fan the flames of this 'Doctor Who' fever, we're giving away two DVD and Blu-ray copies each of Series 5. To learn more about Ferguson's celebratory episode and how to win a copy of series 5, keep reading.

'The Late Late Show' started with an elaborate dance number, the full cast and puppets dressed in their tribute to Who, and Ferguson singing his own words over the 'Doctor Who' theme. Or it would have, had producers not told Ferguson they didn't have clearance to use the song.

Instead, it opened with Ferguson scowling at the camera, surrounded by the cast and puppets, angrily flicking a Sonic Screwdriver, explaining what happened. "This is Doctor Who's magic pen," he said. "I look forward to your corrections."



There was a Dalek on set, next to Geoff, Ferguson's skeleton sidekick. Safe to say you won't see that level of commitment to 'Who' on another American talk show. Ferguson tried to explain the show in his opening monologue. "Doctor Who has been played by 11 different people," he said, "kind of like Cher."

Smith is in the United States filming for 'Doctor Who,' on location in Utah, the first time the show has filmed here. The episode will air in series 6, which will debut in the spring and be split into two parts (the second airing in the fall).

The Smith interview took up most of the show, and he talked about filming in America and visiting Vegas. Ferguson asked the question that has been much discussed amongst 'Who' fans -- how long Smith plans to play the role. Smith was noncommittal. "I take it a year at a time, man," he said. "I'm going to do this year and maybe next year as well."

The full Matt Smith interview:

We also got to see Smith's dance moves when Secretariat (well, the two guys in the horse costume who play Secretariat on the show), came out late in the show, followed once again by Hardwick. Smith, Hardwick, and Ferguson formed their own band, Ferguson and Smith on harmonica and Hardwick on "mouth percussion," to play the show out. Dubbing themselves "Three Octopusses and an Otter," they attempted to play the 'Doctor Who' theme, which came out as a strained jig.

The subject of the Christmas special never came up. For the curious, the special is reportedly scheduled to air Christmas day (not officially confirmed), and it's called, fittingly, 'A Christmas Carol.'

Showrunner and lead writer Steven Moffat was quoted on BBCAmerica.com saying, "Oh, we're going for broke with this one. It's all your favorite Christmas movies at once, in an hour, with monsters. And The Doctor. And a honeymoon. And ... oh, you'll see. I've honestly never been so excited about writing anything." Michael Gambon guest stars.

And if you've lost track, several incarnations of the Doctor have popped up on DVD. On Oct. 5, David Tennant's 10th Doctor showed up in animated form for the 'Dreamland' special, never before seen in North America. On Nov. 2, the BBC released two classic storylines, 'Revenge of the Cybermen' with Tom Baker and 'Silver Nemesis' with Sylvester McCoy. If you're really a rabid fan, you might want to catch the 9th Doctor, Christopher Eccleston, as John Lennon in 'Lennon Naked' on DVD Nov. 23.

And 'Doctor Who: The Complete Fifth Series,' is on shelves now with outtakes and extras. AOL Television is giving away two copies each of the DVD and Blu-ray versions. Enter to win below!
