'''''{{StoryTitle}}''''' was the fiftieth anniversary special of ''[[Doctor Who]]'', the first full-length [[List of multi-Doctor stories|multi-Doctor]] story of the [[BBC Wales]] era, the first ''Doctor Who'' adventure shot in stereoscopic 3D, and the first adventure to be broadly available in cinemas in a number of different countries.

Moreover, it was shown at literally the same time round the globe on [[23 November (releases)|23]] and [[24 November (releases)|24 November]] [[2013 (releases)|2013]] on [[television]], setting a then record for the largest ever simulcast of a television drama.  In all, it was viewable in some 94 countries and 1,500 theatres worldwide.<ref>{{cite web | author = Dassanayake Dion | title = Doctor Who anniversary special sets world record as millions tune in to Day of The Doctor | date = 24 November 2013 | url = http://www.express.co.uk/news/showbiz/444886/Doctor-Who-anniversary-special-sets-world-records-as-millions-tune-in-to-Day-of-The-Doctor | website name = Sunday Express | accessdate = 27 November 3013 | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20131125080739/http://www.express.co.uk/news/showbiz/444886/Doctor-Who-anniversary-special-sets-world-records-as-millions-tune-in-to-Day-of-The-Doctor | archivedate = 25 November 2013}}</ref> Domestically, the [[British Broadcasting Corporation]]'s 2013/14 Annual Report cited it as the most watched drama on the BBC in 2013, with 12.8 million television viewers, and an additional 3.2 million [[iPlayer]] requests.<ref name="AnnRep">[http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/annualreport/pdf/2013-14/bbc_annualreport_201314_bbcexecutive_performance.pdf ''BBC Annual Report and Accounts 2013/14''. BBC. July 2014. 60.]</ref> It also broke or neared viewing records in a number of other regions around the world. Because of its theatrical run and subsequently strong home media sales, it is the single adventure with the highest gross worldwide sales in the history of ''Doctor Who''. The success of this release led to the [[series 8 (Doctor Who)|series 8]] premiere, ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'', receiving a similar theatrical simulcast as it aired on television on [[23 August (releases)|23 August]] [[2014 (releases)|the following year]]. Many more theatrical releases followed.

Amongst fans, the story was exceedingly popular. In a 2014 poll by ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]''<ref>Polls by DWM are statistically invalid, as they do not feature a random sample of people. Respondents ''choose'' to participate on their own initiative, and are made aware of the poll because they subscribe to or at least frequently buy DWM.  Thus, the poll is clearly weighted towards ''Doctor Who'' fans who are also residents of the United Kingdom.  The views reflected almost certainly do not represent the "casual" viewer of ''Doctor Who'', non-English speaking fans, or other groups of fans who simply don't read or have access to DWM.</ref> which ranked all of the ''Doctor Who'' television stories aired to date, ''The Day of the Doctor'' ranked as "DWM readers' favourite adventure of the first 50 years". ([[DWM 474]])

The episode featured the return of [[David Tennant]] as the [[Tenth Doctor]] and the appearance of [[John Hurt]] as a previously unknown incarnation of the Doctor: the [[War Doctor]], in what was the final chronological adventure for his portrayal of the Doctor. His only full-length adventure on screen introduced a new iteration of the [[sonic screwdriver]] and a unique [[TARDIS control room]] predating those seen in [[Series 1 (Doctor Who)|Series 1]].

Furthermore, the War Doctor's [[regeneration]] was shown, into what appeared to be the [[Ninth Doctor]], completing a missing link in the chain of incarnations that started when [[Christopher Eccleston]] debuted in the [[2005 (releases)|2005]] relaunch of the series, ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]''. The process of resolving the regenerations issue was being enforced by [[executive producer]] [[Steven Moffat]], as he wished to have a "complete set" in time for [[Matt Smith]]'s upcoming final episode.

Moffat also chose to requisition actor [[Paul McGann]] for one more outing as the [[Eighth Doctor]] in a mini-episode production, ''[[The Night of the Doctor (TV story)|The Night of the Doctor]]'' one week after production wrapped on the anniversary special, resulting in a second former Doctor returning to the screen as part of the festivities. McGann filmed his own regeneration into Hurt's version of the Doctor, cementing the lineage of all Doctors up to Smith's incarnation onward.

''The Day of the Doctor'' saw the return of the [[Zygon]]s, last seen in the [[1975 (releases)|1975]] [[Fourth Doctor]] [[serial]] ''[[Terror of the Zygons (TV story)|Terror of the Zygons]]'', 38 years after their initial debut.

''The Day of the Doctor'' provided a chance to reveal a missing element of the [[Last Great Time War]] that dramatically altered the outcome as viewers were previously led to believe. Instead of allowing [[Gallifrey]] to be destroyed, the Doctors were able to save it, giving the current incarnation a chance to forever shed his guilt from the outcome and begin a new mission to find his way home. The unique circumstances of this revelation also upheld the previous narratives set during the [[Russell T Davies]] era where the Doctor believed Gallifrey and its residents had been lost in battle.

== Synopsis ==
The Doctors embark on their greatest adventure in this 50th anniversary special. In the 21st century, something terrible is awakening in London's National Gallery; in [[1562]], a murderous plot is afoot in Elizabethan England; and somewhere in space an ancient battle reaches its devastating conclusion. All of reality is at stake as the Doctor's own dangerous past comes back to haunt him.

== Plot ==
[[File:Day of the Doctor Opening Scene.jpg|thumb|left|Several familiar sights in one place.]]
A police constable walks the beat by the [[Coal Hill School]] and passes by a sign advertising "[[I.M. Foreman]], Scrap Merchant". Inside the school, [[Clara Oswald]] is giving a lesson. She ends on a quote by [[Marcus Aurelius]]: "Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one."

The school bell rings. As her students leave, [[Tom (The Day of the Doctor)|a teacher]] runs into the classroom informing Clara that her "[[Eleventh Doctor|doctor]]" called, and left an address. She grabs her helmet and hops on her motorbike. Exiting [[Shoreditch]], Clara drives past a clock reading 5:16 p.m. and through a freeway tunnel. She reaches an open patch of road surrounded by grassland, where a lone [[police box]] is waiting for her.

[[File:TARDIS shakes.jpg|thumb|right|Clara and the Doctor are startled by the TARDIS inexplicably taking flight.]]
Finally spotting [[the TARDIS]], she rides her motorcycle straight through its open [[door]]s, closing them with a click of the fingers. The [[Eleventh Doctor]], perusing a copy of ''[[Advanced Quantum Mechanics]]'', welcomes Clara back with a huge hug. Unexpectedly, the TARDIS takes off without starting the engines. Startled, the Doctor looks out to see a [[helicopter]] carrying the TARDIS away from the field; it's [[UNIT]]. He calls UNIT's Chief Scientific Officer, [[Kate Lethbridge-Stewart]], from the phone on the TARDIS exterior. 

[[File:Osgood and Kate.jpg|thumb|left|Osgood gives Kate her phone.]]
UNIT scientist [[Petronella Osgood|Osgood]] rushes to Kate with her personal phone as she is eating and observing their [[ravens of death]], which need a change of batteries from [[Malcolm Taylor|Malcolm]]. Kate reminds Osgood to use her inhaler at the sound of her heavy panting before accepting the call.

The Doctor learns that he has been summoned to the [[Tower of London]]. Kate asks where the Doctor is. The Doctor holds the TARDIS phone up towards the helicopter, surprising and mortifying Kate. She apologizes, telling the pilot to instead take the Doctor to the scene of the crime.  

[[File:Airborne TARDIS.jpg|thumb|right|The TARDIS is airlifted by a [[helicopter]].]]
The sudden change in course makes the Doctor fall out of the door. Clara holds onto the Doctor's legs as he dangles. The phone bops his head. Annoyed, the Doctor yells "Next time, would it kill you to KNOCK!?" He reaches up to put the phone back in the door, making Clara let go of him. She yells his name in concern. The Doctor holds onto the bottom of the TARDIS, whooping in excitement and fear.

The helicopter arrives at the museum, where it lands slowly to let the Doctor off. Kate apologizes, while the Doctor tries and fails at lecturing her. Kate explains that she is operating on orders from the throne. She hands him sealed orders from [[Queen Elizabeth I]] and taken into the [[National Gallery]] for proof of her credentials. Kate asks [[Osgood]] what the cover story is this time. She responds that they're using Darren Brown again, saying he's been sent flowers as an apology.

As they walk, the Doctor explains his relationship with UNIT to Clara, who is sceptical of the Doctor ever having had an actual job; though not directly working with UNIT anymore, the Doctor is still on the payroll as he never resigned. They stop in front of an [[Gallifrey Falls No More|impossible painting]], something that belongs "not in this time or place": an oil painting in 3-D. It depicts the fall of the Gallifreyan city of [[Arcadia (city)|Arcadia]]  on the last day of the [[Time War]]. Kate tells the Doctor that there is some controversy over the work's name. It is either named ''No More'' or ''Gallifrey Falls''. The painting is a slice of frozen time, a form of [[Time Lord]] art. 

[[File:Gallifrey Falls painting.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor and Clara view a three-dimensional painting of a horrific battle on [[Gallifrey]].]]
The Doctor is visibly disturbed by the painting. As his old memories awaken, he shares with Clara his darkest secret: the life he has tried to bury for years. There was a past incarnation of the Doctor that fought in the Time War, and made the ultimate decision to eliminate the [[Dalek]]s and the Time Lords. And it was done on the very day this painting depicts...

[[File:War Doctor Declares No More.jpg|thumb|right|The [[War Doctor]] declares his intentions to end the Time War by force.]]
As the Daleks ravage Arcadia, a family of Time Lords are running in fear. There is little hope of survival. As children cry and the people scream, a soldier messages the [[High Council of Time Lords]]: Arcadia has fallen. He looks around and sees the Doctor's TARDIS. Then the elderly voice of the "[[War Doctor]]" asks the soldier for his gun. The Doctor carves a message for both warring civilisations to see into a nearby wall: NO MORE. As Daleks prepare to exterminate the Time Lords, the Doctor's presence draws their attention away from the innocent people and leads them to the wall with the message. Suddenly, the Doctor's TARDIS crashes through the wall, demolishing several Daleks. The Doctor's escape from Arcadia is witnessed by one surviving Dalek of the attack, though it is bisected. It questions the meaning of "NO MORE", bellowing "Explain! Explain!" The nearby Time Lord soldier shoots the Dalek with his gun, and the slain Dalek erupts in flames.

[[File:War Room message.jpg|thumb|left|The Time Lords receive the Doctor's message.]]
The High Commanders gather in the [[War Room]], planning their next moves, with [[the General]] dismissing the [[High Council]]'s upcoming plans as "they have already failed". They receive the Doctor's message, and the General is not pleased to learn of his presence, calling him a madman. A Time Lady rushes in to inform the War Council that there has been a breach in the [[Omega Arsenal]] in the [[Time Vaults]]. 

[[File:General talking about the Moment.jpg|thumb|right|The General explains the origins of their deadliest weapon to Androgar.]]
The most feared and forbidden weapon in the universe is missing: [[The Moment]]. The Doctor has stolen it, and intends to use it to end the Time War once and for all. The Time Lords have already used all of the previously forbidden weapons, but dared not unleash ''this'' weapon in particular. It was said that the Moment was so advanced as to have developed a conscience, and could stand in judgement of the user. The General muses that only the Doctor would be mad enough to use such a weapon.

[[File:War Doctor trekking through Gallifreyan wilderness.jpg|thumb|left|The elderly War Doctor wearily marches across the wilderness.]]
Footsteps can be seen leading away from the battle-scuffed frame of the TARDIS, which has been uncharacteristically abandoned by the Doctor. The sound of his voice issuing an ominous final warning is heard: "''Time Lords of Gallifrey, Daleks of Skaro, I serve notice on you all. Too long I have stayed my hand. No more. Today you leave me no choice. Today, this war will end. No more. No more...''" The Doctor's tired face comes into view as he strides across a desolate desert, a burlap sack over his shoulder. 

[[File:TheMomentBox.jpg|thumb|right|[[The Moment]] is revealed.]]
He eventually enters a [[Barn (The Day of the Doctor)|barn-like dwelling]], where he uncovers a complicated mechanical box, covered in gears. The device ticks loudly as its clockwork-like parts rattle and clank. As the Doctor studies it, he cannot find a discernible trigger mechanism. While he puzzles over how to activate it — grumbling "Why is there never a big red button?" — he hears a rustling sound. He opens the door and calls out. A girl's voice behind him reassures him that it's "just a Wolf". 

[[File:The Moment Is coming.jpg|thumb|left|The Moment takes the form of the [[Bad Wolf (entity)|Bad Wolf]].]]
Startled, he turns around to see what appears to be [[Rose Tyler]]. He doesn't recognise her, as this point in his timeline predates his first meeting with Rose. He grabs her arm and throws her out the door, only for her to appear inside the barn again, sitting on the Moment. She begins questioning the Doctor as to his motives and rationalisations (though it looks like she is making fun of him). The Moment also asks if the Doctor parked his TARDIS far away from the dwelling so that it would not witness what he was about to do. Not realising what she is, he orders her out, and then burns his hand on the box. Impishly, she guides the Doctor to realise that ''she'' is the interface of the Moment. She can hear the Doctor's thoughts, and has attempted to assume the form of a familiar figure from his past; however, the Moment has a history of confusing the past with the future, and so has chosen the form of Rose Tyler as [[Bad Wolf (entity)|the Bad Wolf]] to be its manifestation. 

[[File:Fez drops out of time window.jpg|thumb|right|A [[fez]] drops through the Moment's time window.]]
War-weary and bitter, the elderly Time Lord tells her to stop calling him "the Doctor", claiming he has lost the right to bear the title. She replies that he will be the one to save the universe. He explains that the suffering of the universe is too great, and he must end it. He also intends to meet his death after using the Moment, not wishing to live through the bloodshed, but she decides that his fate and punishment will be to survive the activation and face the consequences. Like a conscience, she challenges his words and actions, guiding him towards his future. He ''will'' destroy the Daleks, but he will also murder his own people, asking him how many children on Gallifrey will die, but he has no idea. After suggesting that one day, he will find a way to count them, the Moment opens a window in time, to show him the man he will become. A [[time fissure]] opens - and a [[fez]] falls out, much to the mutual confusion of the Doctor and the Moment...

Back in the 21st century, Kate explains that Queen Elizabeth left the painting to prove that the orders do come from her. The Doctor breaks the seal and reads her words: "''My dearest love: I hope the painting known as'' Gallifrey Falls ''will serve as proof that it is your Elizabeth that writes to you now. You will recall that you pledged yourself to the safety of my kingdom. In that capacity, I have appointed you Curator of the [[Under-Gallery]], where deadly danger to England is locked away. Should any disturbance occur within its walls, it is my wish that you should be summoned. Godspeed, gentle husband.''"

[[File:Liz I and Ten.jpg|thumb|left|A painting of the [[Tenth Doctor]] aside Queen [[Elizabeth I]].]]As Kate leads the Doctor and Clara away, a nearby UNIT scientist named [[McGillop]] receives a mysterious phone call. Befuddled, he stares at the painting, wondering why he should move it.

The Doctor and Clara approach another painting, which shows the figure of Queen Elizabeth the First, and the Doctor. Clara sees this is proof the Doctor once knew her. However, it is the tenth incarnation of the Doctor, and from the Eleventh Doctor's vantage point, that portrait was done a long time ago, long enough that he was a different man back then...

[[File:DNA_detector_The_Day_of_the_Doctor.jpg|thumb|Ding!]]In England in [[1562]], the [[Tenth Doctor]] and Queen Elizabeth I ride out of the TARDIS on horseback, the Doctor having proven that it really ''is'' bigger on the inside. She responds "the door isn't" bigger on the inside. They share a picnic on a hill, after which he proposes marriage. When she joyfully accepts, the Doctor accuses her of being a [[Zygon]] shapeshifter that has replaced the real Elizabeth. He whips out a [[Machine That Goes "Ding"|"device that goes ding"]] to prove that she is a shapeshifter, before realising that it was the horse they were riding.

They run for their lives, the Doctor dreads being engaged man; "So much for the Virgin Queen. So much for history. Good job, Doctor."  They split up in the woods, but Elizabeth is accosted by the Zygon. The Doctor runs through the woods, even threatening a rabbit he mistakes for a Zygon before he is reunited with Elizabeth. However, a doppelganger of her appears, and he is unable to tell who is who. Suddenly another time fissure appears, and a fez falls through, shocking the Doctor and company.

Back in the National Gallery, Kate welcomes the Eleventh Doctor and Clara to the Under-Gallery, established by Elizabeth I to house dangerous art. The Doctor notices that the floor is covered in stone dust, and asks a scientist named [[Petronella Osgood|Osgood]] to analyse it (with a triplicate report and lots of graphs). As they walk through the gallery, the Doctor spots a fez in a glass case and immediately dons it, much to the bemusement of Clara, who wonders if he can ever go past one without putting it on (answer: never gonna happen).

Kate shows them more 3-D paintings, all landscapes, with the broken glass from their shattered frames covering the floor. The Doctor notes that the glass has been shattered from the ''inside'', and Kate says that they all contained figures which are now missing. Suddenly, another time fissure opens. Annoyed, the Doctor faintly recalls seeing the fissure before, before realising that the fez that had fallen through in 1562 was the fez he was now wearing. Delighted, he throws the fez into the fissure and follows it. Clara tries to follow, but Kate restrains her.

The Eleventh Doctor falls through the fissure and lands in front of the Tenth in the sixteenth century. Stunned, the Tenth Doctor dons the fez himself. The Eleventh pops up and gabbles excitedly about how skinny his predecessor is, which makes the Tenth realise who he is. They incredulously pull out their [[sonic screwdriver]]s and compare them. As they begin bickering, the time fissure increases in intensity. The Doctor orders the two Queens to run away; both [[kiss]] the Tenth Doctor and flee. After pointing out that one of the women his counterpart just kissed was definitely a Zygon, the Eleventh shouts through the funnel to Clara. Hypothesising that the fissure can go both ways, he tosses his fez in, but it fails to appear in Clara's time. Kate then leaves, to call one of the UNIT members to bring her the [[The Three Doctors (TV story)|Cromer file]] - not noticing a dark shadow behind her...

[[File:Why are you pointing your screwdrivers like that.jpg|thumb|right|The War Doctor is met with fear from his successors.]]
At the end of the Time War, the War Doctor picks up the fez and steps into the fissure. Back in 1562, the two Doctors try to reverse the polarity, but the use of two sonic screwdrivers at once confuses the polarity, resulting in the War Doctor falling through, landing in front of his future selves. He jovially greets them, asking after the Doctor and mistaking them for companions-to-be. The two older Doctors — both horrified to see him — simply pull out their sonic screwdrivers, affirming their identity to their younger self. Completely unimpressed by his future incarnations, the War Doctor asks if he is going through a mid-life crisis.

Suddenly, they are surrounded by the Queen's soldiers. They are threatened by them, but Clara's voice sounds from the fissure, allowing the Doctors to convince them that she is "The Wicked Witch of the Well". Kate has, at that point, returned to Clara. The Queen returns to the group, implying that her human counterpart is dead. She has the trio of Doctors arrested and taken to the Tower of London (with the Eleventh loudly hinting for her to take them there). The hint is picked up on by Kate, who takes Clara to the [[Black Archive]] to retrieve [[Jack Harkness]]' [[vortex manipulator]].

The Doctors are thrown in a cell with a wooden door. The War Doctor tries to sonic the door, but it fails. The Tenth notes that with the three of them in their, time will start going crazy and cause random chaos. The Eleventh works with a nail on the pillar in the room, stating it's their way out. Ignoring him, the Tenth asks why these three Doctors have been brought together; him and Eleventh were surprised, but War came to find them. The big question is why. The War Doctor sees the Moment, which gestures to keep quiet about it.

[[File:Zygon attack.jpg|thumb|left|A Zygon emerges from its disguise in the Undergallery.]]
In the present, Osgood and McGillop are reading the results of the analysis of the stone dust. The dust is from materials not found in the structure of the building, but common in statues. Osgood realises that the statues must have been smashed, and suddenly understands why: the inhabitants of the paintings needed a hiding place. The Zygons reveal themselves from underneath the dust cloths covering what the humans had believed were statues. The aliens accost McGillop, and corner Osgood. Osgood prays for the Doctor to save her, but instead of being killed, she is faced with her duplicate. The Zygon taunts Osgood, but she gains the upper hand by tripping the alien with her scarf, and runs.

[[File:Clara Vortex Manipulator.jpg|thumb|right|Clara uses Jack Harkness's vortex manipulator.]]
Kate and Clara enter the Black Archive, housing the most dangerous alien tech recovered by UNIT. Its contents are so top secret that its staff has their memories modified every day. Apparently, this has happened to Clara at least once, as she has already obtained the necessary clearance to enter the archive. They view the Vortex Manipulator, by trying to find the activation code. The Doctor has the code, but he hasn't informed UNIT of it. A scientist phones Kate, and she orders him to send a picture of some numerals (the activation code) that the Eleventh Doctor carved into the wall of the cell in 1562 for them to find centuries later. [[Zygon Osgood|Osgood]] and [[Zygon McGillop|McGillop]] enter the Archive, to Clara's surprise. They and [[Zygon Kate Stewart|Kate]] reveal themselves as Zygons. As they prepare to replace Clara, she sees the picture of the numerals on the phone. Taking a desperate gamble, she enters the code into the Vortex Manipulator and travels to the past.

In the 1562 Tower of London, the Eleventh Doctor scratches the activation code onto a wall in their cell, while the other two Doctors puzzle out how to escape. The War Doctor proposes an isolated sonic shift in the door molecules in order to disintegrate the door, but the Tenth Doctor rejects the idea, saying it would take centuries to calculate the necessary formula. The War Doctor starts bickering with the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors, chastising them for their shame of being "grown-up". Subdued, they look at him darkly, reminding him of the day he ended the Time War (unaware that this Doctor is actively in the process of making that choice).

The Moment reappears, unseen and unheard by the other Doctors, and urges the War Doctor to ask his future selves the question that he needs to know: How many children died on Gallifrey that day. The Eleventh Doctor says, "I've absolutely no idea."

The Eleventh Doctor aggressively rebukes his past self's concerns regarding [[Trenzalore|where he's going to end up.]]
After the Eleventh Doctor claims he doesn't know how many children died, he says he's forgotten the events of that day; he's so old that he's not even sure of his ''age'' anymore, so old that he can't remember if he's lying about his age. However, the Tenth Doctor angrily asks how the Eleventh could ever forget something as important as this particular number, and bitterly states that there were 2.47 billion children on the planet that day. Disturbed and furious by his successor's impassive nature, he asks him, "For once, I would like to know where I'm going." Vexed by this remark, the Eleventh Doctor coldly replies, "No, you really wouldn't!" The Tenth Doctor looks back at him, eyes wide with fear. The Moment explains to the War Doctor that the Tenth Doctor has become "the man who regrets" and the Eleventh "the man who forgets". ''They'' are the future of the Doctor, when he ends the Time Lords.

[[File:War Discovers Screwdriver Solution.jpg|thumb|The War Doctor discovers a time-managing solution to unlock the cell door.]]
The Moment reminds the War Doctor that his sonic screwdriver, at the most basic level, is exactly the same device as the ones used by his counterparts: "Same software — different case". He realises that if he scans the door and implants the calculations as a permanent subroutine in the screwdriver, it will take hundreds of years to work out the formula necessary to disintegrate the door, meaning that the Eleventh Doctor's screwdriver, being essentially the same as the ones before it, has the completed calculation ready to go.

They exuberantly congratulate themselves on their cleverness before Clara pushes open the door — which has been unlocked the entire time. Clara asks her Doctor if they are all him. The Eleventh reminds Clara of the time she went into his timeline, to which she barely remembers. She compliments the Tenth's suit; he thanks her. She then asks why neither of them tried to just open the door; one thing the Doctor retains in all his incarnations is his inability to do simple things. The Queen comes in, telling them that she left the door unlocked as a test. She takes them down to the Zygons' lair to show them their plan. 

[[File:Captured Kate.jpg|thumb|left|"If those creatures have got access to the Black Archive, we may just have lost control of the planet."]]
Osgood walks in the halls of the Under-Gallery, before discovering the real Kate trapped in a Zygon nest. Kate's body template is being used to refresh the image of her Zygon doppelganger. Osgood frees her, but Kate bemoans the fact that the Zygons now have control of the Black Archive. 

[[File:Zygon stasis cube translation.jpg|thumb|right|The Doctors and Clara watch a Zygon be translated inside a stasis cube.]]
The Doctors and Clara follow the Queen to the lair, whereupon they discover that the Zygon homeworld was destroyed in the early days of the Time War, and so they have decided to take Earth as their new home. However, the sixteenth century version of Earth is too primitive to be comfortable to the invading shapeshfiters, so they intend to invade the cushier future in order to establish their new homeworld. They therefore have translated themselves into stasis cubes, which are the Time Lords' three-dimensional paintings. The Tenth Doctor berates the Zygon commander for doing a lousy job of replicating the real Queen Elizabeth, but she reveals (to his mortification) that she ''is'' the real Elizabeth: She slew her twin in the forest and took her place as Zygon commander. She calls on the Doctor to save England, but first whisks him away to be married (with his past and future selves as reluctant witnesses, and an enthusiastic Clara throwing confetti).

[[File:TenGetsMarriedDOTD.jpg|thumb|left|The Tenth Doctor weds Elizabeth.]]
The three Doctors and Clara return to the Tenth's TARDIS (with the other two insulting the current desktop theme). The presence of three different Doctors causes the TARDIS to short a bit, showing the interior of the War Doctor's TARDIS. Both the Tenth and the Eleventh are happy to see the [[roundel]]s, which they haven't seen in a while; however, neither of them knows what they are. The Eleventh stabilizes the desktop, picking his current version (which also receives an insult). They set off for the Black Archive.

Kate, Osgood, and McGillop confront their doppelgangers in the Black Archive. Kate threatens to detonate a nuclear warhead beneath the Tower, destroying all of London in order to protect the planet from the Zygons, and voice-activates it, blocking her Zygon duplicate's attempts to stop the countdown with her identical voice pattern. The Eleventh Doctor's voice crackles on via the [[space-time telegraph]] he had once given to [[Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|her father]], begging Kate not to detonate but she cuts him off. He tries to land, but the Tower of London had been made TARDIS-proof to prevent his interference. However, the War Doctor figures out a way to get in - the stasis cubes. The Doctor calls McGillop in the past, and instructs him to bring the ''No More''/''Gallifrey Falls'' painting to the Black Archive... 

[[File:The Doctors Repel a Dalek.jpg|thumb|right|The Doctors force back an attacking Dalek.]]
The two Kates fight over the detonation, both needing to agree in order to stop the detonation. The real Osgood begs the Doctor to save them again, as the Doctors and Clara force their way out of the painting, having frozen themselves in it earlier. The Doctors now face the Fall of Arcadia in real time as it unfolds, and are immediately met with an attacking Dalek, which they repel with their sonic screwdrivers. It crashes through the glass of the painting and the Doctors emerge. Clara soon follows.

[[File:Doctors Sonic memory protocols.jpg|thumb|left|All three Doctors sonic the memory modifiers.]]
The three Doctors hand the Kates an ultimatum when they refuse to disarm the Archive's nuclear option: They trigger the memory modifiers to confuse everybody as to whether they are human or Zygon. Then, if they stop the detonation and create a peace treaty (which is sure to be incredibly fair, as the negotiators can't remember which side they're on), they will have their memories restored. Utterly confused over their identities, the two Kates stop the detonation in the nick of time and begin to negotiate the treaty. While the Osgoods figure out which of them is which, they decide to keep it to themselves to protect the treaty.

[[File:War I'm ready.jpg|thumb|right|"I'm ready."]]
As they negotiate, Clara speaks to the War Doctor. She has somehow figured out that he hasn't used the Moment yet, explaining that "her" Doctor always talked about the day he wiped out the Time Lords. She says that he would do anything to take it back, but the War Doctor remains convinced that his actions will save billions of lives in the future. Across the room, the War Doctor sees the form of the Bad Wolf once more. The Moment has come. He tells the interface he's ready, and Clara turns to find who he's talking to; when she turns back, he's vanished. 

[[File:Doctors nearly use Moment.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctors are stopped from using the Moment.]]
Returned to the barn on Gallifrey, the War Doctor stands in front of the Moment, which has simplified its interface by his request — the trigger mechanism is now a big red button for him to push. The interface questions him once more, trying to convince him of his goodness. He still doesn't believe he is worthy of the name "Doctor", losing all hope for himself and his people. He believes that the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors are extraordinary men and that he has to commit this act to forge them into what they become. As the War Doctor goes to activate the Moment, the interface tells him that the wheezing sound the TARDIS makes brings hope to everyone who hears it. The War Doctor agrees and the Moment tells him that it brings hope to ''anyone'', no matter how lost they are. The War Doctor realises what she means a moment later when the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors materialise their TARDISes in the barn, having apparently been let through the [[time-lock]] by the Moment. They join him at the Moment, finally forgiving him, and themselves, for his actions, ready to support the man who ''was'' the Doctor more than anybody else, on a day it was impossible make the right decision. The three of them prepare to push the button together, but Clara tearfully objects. She knew that "the Doctor" had activated the Moment and destroyed his home-world, but she had never imagined the Eleventh Doctor, ''her'' Doctor, with his hand on the button.

[[File:Time War Projection.jpg|thumb|right|The Moment projects the dire reality of the Time War.]]
The reality of the Time War projects around them: children crying, innocents suffering. The Doctor could not find another way to end it all, but Clara believes in a different solution. She reminds the Time Lord of who he is: the Warrior, the Hero, and the Doctor. They've had plenty of warriors, and what he will do is a heroic act unto itself. What the universe needs now is a Doctor who lives up to the name he chose for himself: never cruel or cowardly, never giving up, never giving in. A new day dawns on Gallifrey: a day of hope.

[[File:Three gleeful Doctors have a plan.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctors conjure up a miraculous plan to end the Time War and spare Gallifey.]]
At that, a brilliant new idea descends on the room; the Eleventh Doctor says that he's had a long time to think about it — he's changed his mind! The intent of the Moment worked: the War Doctor saw the future he needed to see. Picking up on his future self's idea without explanation, the War Doctor exclaims that he could just ''[[kiss]]'' "Bad Wolf girl" right now, which catches the Tenth's attention, only for him to be distracted from it as he realises what his counterparts were getting at and agrees that it's a wonderful idea. They have changed their minds about using the Moment, and the Eleventh Doctor disarms the device with his sonic screwdriver. Instead, they intend to freeze Gallifrey in a moment in time, slipped away in a pocket universe, the way the Zygons froze themselves into Time Lord art. When Gallifrey vanishes, the sphere of Dalek ships surrounding the planet and firing constantly will be exterminated in their own crossfire before they can cease firing, and the universe will believe that the two races destroyed each other. 

[[File:Three Doctors Gallifrey Stands.jpg|thumb|right|The three Doctors announce their ultimate plan to the General.]]
On the last day of the Time War, another message from the Doctor appears before the High Command: GALLIFREY STANDS. The three Doctors race in their TARDISes towards Gallifrey, and transmit to the War Room. Three transmissions, each showing a different Doctor (much to the General's dismay), appear. They explain their incredible plan to save Gallifrey. They will position themselves around the planet equidistantly, and freeze it — just like the stasis cubes, but to a whole planet and all the people on it. The General objects, saying that they'd be lost in another universe, frozen in a single moment with nothing, but the Doctors tell him the alternative is burning and they've seen that and don't want to again. The Eleventh Doctor also informs him that with this plan, the Time Lords will at least have hope, something they don't have now. The General tells them that the idea is delusional, claiming that even if it ''was'' possible, the calculations alone would take centuries. The Eleventh and Tenth Doctors agree saying it would take "hundreds and hundreds" of years, but they've had "a very long time" to think about it. In fact, he could say they've been working on it all their lives.

[[File:8_and_7_Time_War.jpg|thumb|left|All of the Doctors protect Gallifrey.]]
At that, the voice of the [[First Doctor]] is heard contacting the War Council. Nine more police boxes fly around the planet, and ''all'' the past incarnations of the Doctor come together to save Gallifrey, all making contact with the Council. The General bemoans the idea that all twelve Doctors have arrived, when three was bad enough. However, his count is one short. 

[[File:EyesOfTwelve.jpg|thumb|right|A fleeting image of a [[Twelfth Doctor|future Doctor]].]]
Androgar points out that all ''thirteen'' incarnations of the Doctor are present to save Gallifrey — a [[Twelfth Doctor|new incarnation]] from the Doctor's days yet to come is also on the way. A brief glimpse of this future Doctor shows a hand reaching for a lever in the Eleventh Doctor's console room, and a pair of piercing blue eyes watching the console monitor. As the Daleks increase their attack upon seeing the thirteen TARDISes, the General realises that he has no choice and tells the Doctor to "just do it." The thirteen Doctors prepare their TARDISes with the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors exclaiming their catchphrases while the exasperated War Doctor goes with a simple "Gallifrey Stands." After a flash and a colossal explosion, the space becomes empty and quiet as one damaged Dalek fighter pod goes spinning off.

[[File:The War Doctor Regenerates - John Hurt to Christopher Eccleston - Day of the Doctor - BBC|thumb|left|His body wearing thin, the War Doctor [[regenerate]]s.]]
Back in the National Gallery, the Tenth, Eleventh, and War Doctors muse on the ambiguity of whether their plan succeeded. The presence of the mysterious painting of the fall of Arcadia remains an enigma to the three Doctors. While they don't know if their plan worked, they agree that it was better to have failed doing the right thing than succeeding in doing the wrong. The War Doctor bids a fond farewell to his replacements, who finally address him as "Doctor": a man fully worthy of the title, even if he will only know it briefly. Because the time lines are out of sync, the War Doctor and the Tenth Doctor won't be able to retain their memories of these events. They will forget them completely until they catch up to their Eleventh incarnation. However, right now, the War Doctor is content. He gives Clara a farewell [[kiss]] and takes a moment to sort out his TARDIS out from the other two in the gallery. As he pilots his TARDIS away, he suddenly sees his hands glowing with [[regeneration energy]], and notices it makes sense, as his old body is "wearing a bit thin." After surviving the Time War, he is ultimately dying of old age. With his work done in the battle, the energy begins to overtake the War Doctor. He expresses one last desire that the change will leave him with "less conspicuous" ears this time. The War Doctor smiles peacefully as his [[Ninth Doctor|next regeneration begins]].

[[File:Tenth Doctor Says Goodbye to Eleven.jpg|thumb|right|"We need a new destination, because... [[The End of Time (TV story)|I don't want to go."]] The Tenth Doctor says goodbye.]]
Acknowledging that he won't be able to remember the answer, the Tenth Doctor questions his successor as to "Where it is we're going that you don't wanna talk about." The Eleventh Doctor relents and reveals that they are destined to die on [[Trenzalore]], in battle, with millions of lives lost. The Tenth Doctor says that's not how it's supposed to be, but the Eleventh Doctor tells him it is determined now. Preparing to leave, the Tenth Doctor tells himself that he's glad his future is in good hands. He [[hand kiss|kisses Clara's hand]], and with a smile, starts to step into his TARDIS. Before he does, he expresses his desire to change their final destination of Trenzalore, saying: "I don't want to go." As the TARDIS dematerialises, the Eleventh Doctor smiles and remarks "[[The End of Time (TV story)|he always says that]]".

Clara asks the Doctor if he would like to sit and look at the painting for a little while. He smiles, asking how she knew. Clara [[cheek kissing|kisses him on the cheek]] and tells him that she always knows — it's his sad old eyes. As she steps into the TARDIS, she mentions that an old man, possibly [[Curator (The Day of the Doctor)|the Gallery's curator]], was looking for him.

[[File:TheCuratorTDOTD.jpg|thumb|left|The Curator of the National Gallery.]]
The Doctor muses out loud that he would be a great curator. He could call himself "the Great Curator", [[retire]] and become the curator of this gallery. A very familiar voice affirms that he really might. The astonished Doctor looks over to see a very familiar face standing next to him. [[Curator (The Day of the Doctor)|An old man]] who greatly resembles the [[Fourth Doctor]] speaks to him of the painting, which he says he acquired under "remarkable circumstances". He tells the Doctor that its two names are actually one: the true title of the painting is ''[[Gallifrey Falls No More]]''. The Doctor realises that he was successful, and Gallifrey was indeed saved. The mysterious man reveals that it is simply "lost", and that the Doctor has a lot to do. He also muses that he and the Doctor might be the same man from different perspectives, sounding wistful about days gone by, congratulating the Doctor on the new journey he is about to commence. As to whether or not he truly is an incarnation of the Doctor from the future, the Curator simply teases the thought, "Who knows, eh? Who... '[[nose]]'?", and with a tap of his nose, he turns and walks away. The Eleventh Doctor concludes that he has a mission, the mission of a lifetime: he must find Gallifrey and return it and all its people to the universe.

[[File:Twelve Doctors Stand Together - The Doctor Dreams - Doctor Who - Day of the Doctor - BBC|thumb|“It's taken me so many years, so many lifetimes, but at last I know where I'm going. Where I've always been going: Home, the long way round.”]]
Later, the Doctor speaks of his dreams, as he is seen to walk through the TARDIS console room. He says that he finally realises where he has been travelling all this time: home. He simply has taken the long way around. As he exits the TARDIS in the dream, the Doctor joins his eleven past selves in gazing up at the magnificent planet in the sky, determined to find Gallifrey and save his home once and for all.

* The episode was shot, broadcast and screened in cinemas in stereoscopic [[3D]]. Despite confessing that he was not a big fan of 3D movies, writer and [[show runner]] [[Steven Moffat]] came up with the idea of shooting the episode in 3D and despite his initial worries, found the 3D version to be "better" and "more satisfying" than the 2D version. Knowing that the vast majority of viewers would have watched it in 2D, director [[Nick Hurran]] made sure that his shooting style wasn't influenced "too much" by the episode's use of 3D. Nonetheless, Hurran meticulously researched the back-catalogue of 3D films in order to see what worked and what didn't.  Steven Moffat believed that Hurran's research had led the director to view "every 3D film ever made". ([[DWM 468]])
* The original ''[[Doctor Who]]'' logo is not only in black and white; a 3D effect is added to suggest the logo moving towards the viewer.
* The 3D paintings are obviously ''more'' 3D in the 3D version.
* As the Eleventh Doctor walks out of the TARDIS onto the cloud bearing his other selves at the very end of the story, the effect is considerably "more 3D" than viewing the 2D version would suggest.
* [[Mistika]] was used for the finishing of the stereo 3D work.

=== Common among all versions ===
[[File:GRAHAM NORTON Regenerates into DAVID TENNANT & MATT SMITH Doctor Who on The Graham Norton Show|thumb|right|Marketing for the show was intense, with its stars actively courted by any number of television and radio programmes. Here, [[David Tennant]] and [[Matt Smith]] help [[Graham Norton]] break the usual format of {{wi|The Graham Norton Show}}'s opening sequence.]]
* The story is fronted by the version of the [[title sequence]] used on the original episode "[[An Unearthly Child (episode)|An Unearthly Child]]", modified to include a BBC logo, and slightly shortened. (This version is slightly different than the opening used on the unaired [[The Pilot Episode|pilot episode]].) This marks the sequence's first use since Episode 4 of ''[[The Moonbase (TV story)|The Moonbase]]'' in 1967, approximately 47 years prior; as such, ''The Day of the Doctor'' is the only episode to use a previously [[retire]]d title sequence, rather than use the current one or introduce a new one. 
* The opening scenes further mimic the original open to ''[[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|An Unearthly Child]]'': the first shot shows a police officer going by a sign for [[76 Totter's Lane]], and the second shot is set at Coal Hill School as class dismisses. Clara is now a teacher at [[Coal Hill School]]. A sign shows that [[Ian Chesterton|I. Chesterton]] is chairman of the school's Board of Governors, also showing that a W. Coburn is headmaster — a likely in-joke reference to [[Anthony Coburn]], who wrote ''An Unearthly Child'', and [[Waris Hussein]], ''Doctor Who''{{'}}s original director.
* To add to the story's notability, [[Tom Baker]]'s cameo as the [[The Curator (The Day of the Doctor)|Curator]] marks his first role in a regular episode of the series in approximately 32 years; his last role was the [[Fourth Doctor]] in his 1981 regeneration story, ''[[Logopolis (TV story)|Logopolis]]'' (though Baker ''did'' reprise the role in the 1993 special ''[[Dimensions in Time (TV story)|Dimensions in Time]]'', that story was a charity special and is not counted as legitimate by most fans).
* ''Day'' is the seventh televised [[multi-Doctor story]]. The others are: ''[[The Three Doctors (TV story)|The Three Doctors]]'', ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'', ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'', ''[[Dimensions in Time]]'', ''[[Time Crash (TV story)|Time Crash]]'', and ''[[The Name of the Doctor (TV story)|The Name of the Doctor]]''.
* The end credits list all the actors who have played the Doctor in the reverse order of their incarnations (with the exception of [[Peter Capaldi]], who remained uncredited for his brief appearance), similarly to ''The Five Doctors''. As a result, Matt Smith and David Tennant are listed first and second respectively, but Christopher Eccleston is credited above John Hurt. This marks the first time Eccleston is credited as playing "The Doctor" as during his season he was credited as "Doctor Who" (Hartnell had previously been credited as "The Doctor" at the end of [[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'' after being credited as "Dr. Who" during his era).
* Actor [[John Guilor]] is credited as "Voice Over Artist" in the credits, although they do not say which role he voiced. Castingcallpro.com credits him as the voice of the [[First Doctor]].
* ''Radio Times'' credits David Tennant as "The Tenth Doctor", John Hurt as "The Other Doctor" and Billie Piper as "Rose Tyler". This is also reflected in the closing credits where Piper is credited as Rose, despite dialogue indicating she isn't actually playing Rose in this episode.
* Jonjo O'Neill (McGillop) is erroneously credited as "McGuillop" in ''Radio Times''.
* The ''Radio Times'' programme listing was accompanied by a small colour head-and-shoulders shot of the Eleventh and Tenth Doctors in the wood, with the accompanying caption "Doctor Who / 7.50 p.m. / Matt Smith and David Tennant join forces in a tale celebrating 50 years of the show".
* This is the first on-screen appearance of the [[Dalek]]s not to feature those of the [[New Dalek Paradigm]] in the [[Steven Moffat]] era. This doesn't likely mean that the multi-coloured Daleks are gone, because all Daleks in this story predated the multi-coloured versions introduced in ''[[Victory of the Daleks (TV story)|Victory of the Daleks]]''. However, {{as of|2015|12|lc=y}}, no multicoloured Daleks have appeared on screen since ''[[Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)|Asylum of the Daleks]]'' in [[2012 (releases)|2012]].
* As Clara leaves the school a clock can be seen to display the time as 17:16, the broadcast time of "[[An Unearthly Child (episode)|An Unearthly Child]]". 
* The access code for the [[vortex manipulator]] is "1716231163". This is a reference to the time (17:16) and date (23.11.63) that the episode ''[[An Unearthly Child (episode)|An Unearthly Child]]'' first aired.
* When paired with the prequel episode ''[[The Night of the Doctor (TV story)|The Night of the Doctor]]'', the titles of both episodes reflect opposite moments in the Doctor's personal lifetime. ''Night'' depicts the Doctor giving in to despair after suffering an absolute'' ''failure, whereas in ''Day'', he has an absolute triumph. The two episodes also bookend the War Doctor's lifetime. ''Night'' shows his birth, and ''Day'' shows his death, as well losing and regaining his title of "the Doctor".
* The archived footage shown during the "Save Gallifrey" scene for the different Doctors are as follows:
** The [[First Doctor]]'s footage is from ''[[The Daleks (TV story)|The Daleks]]'': "[[The Dead Planet]]"
** The [[Second Doctor]]'s footage is from ''[[The Tomb of the Cybermen (TV story)|The Tomb of the Cybermen]]''.
** The [[Third Doctor]]'s footage is from ''[[Colony in Space (TV story)|Colony in Space]]''.
** The [[Fourth Doctor]]'s footage is from ''[[Planet of Evil (TV story)|Planet of Evil]]''.
** The [[Fifth Doctor]]'s footage is from ''[[Frontios (TV story)|Frontios]]''.
** The [[Sixth Doctor]]'s footage is from ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack of the Cybermen]]''.
** The [[Seventh Doctor]]'s footage is from ''[[Battlefield (TV story)|Battlefield]]'', and ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]''.
** The [[Eighth Doctor]]'s footage is from ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]''.
** The [[Ninth Doctor]]'s footage is from ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'' and ''[[The Parting of the Ways (TV story)|The Parting of the Ways]]''.
** The footage from ''Colony in Space'', ''Planet of Fear'', and ''Battlefield'' were all been flipped to make it look like actual filming.
** Archive recordings from ''[[The Seeds of Death]]'', ''[[The Three Doctors]]'', an unidentified Fourth Doctor serial, ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'', ''[[Attack of the Cybermen]]'' and ''[[Battlefield (TV story)|Battlefield]]'' are used to provide the past Doctors with dialogue.
* This is the final televised story to feature the Eleventh Doctor in a [[fez]].
* The TARDIS interior set floor was raised from its normal height during the filming of the special to help Jenna Coleman's stunt double ride Clara's motorbike into the TARDIS.
* While the Eleventh Doctor is hanging out of the TARDIS over London, the soundtrack playing was first used in ''[[Aliens of London (TV story)|Aliens of London]]'' and ''[[World War Three (TV story)|World War Three]]''.
* With the airing of this episode's special closing credits, the actors for the First, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Doctors have finally had their faces featured in a form of credits for ''Doctor Who'', along with the newcomer War Doctor. By extension, all faces of the Doctor up to the Eleventh Doctor have now been shown in either opening titles and/or closing credits.
* One Dalek fighter pod can be seen knocked away from the destruction of the Dalek fleet. This would support the idea that some Daleks could feasibly survive beyond the Time War. However, it should not be confused with the [[Metaltron|Dalek]] seen in ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'', as no connection is made that would suggest this craft was piloted by the same Dalek who fell through time and space to crash-land on Earth.
* ''The Day of the Doctor'' was given a higher pyrotechnics budget because of its anniversary special status, which allowed the production to feature much bigger explosions.{{fact}} The heightened explosive use can be witnessed during the [[Fall of Arcadia]] segments.
* David Tennant's Tenth Doctor portrayal became notable for a spiky, modern hairstyle that he experimented with near the end of [[Series 2 (Doctor Who)|Series 2]] and later became his Doctor's default hairstyle up to his regeneration story. Unusually, Tennant's hair was slicked down in this special, save for one moment when the War Doctor acknowledged the "Bad Wolf" in front of his successors and his hair was standing on end.
* The promise of the Doctors state is based on a passage from the [[Terrance Dicks]] reference book ''[[The Making of Doctor Who]]''. Different parts of the passage have been quoted through different ''Doctor Who'' products. One of these is the 1999 [[Comic Relief]] special ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death (TV story)|The Curse of Fatal Death]]'', written by Moffat himself. After the [[Twelfth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|twelfth incarnation]] of an alternate Doctor dies, apparently resulting in his demise, his companion [[Emma (The Curse of Fatal Death)|Emma]] says that "He was never cruel and never cowardly".
* Much more music was composed and recorded for the episode than was actually used, including original pieces for the scene where the Eleventh Doctor hangs from the TARDIS, and a theme for the Curator called "[[Song for Four]]". The production team elected instead to use legacy music from previous episodes of the revived series. Much of the unused music is included on the [[Doctor Who: Original Television Soundtrack: The Day of the Doctor / The Time of the Doctor|soundtrack release]]. The aforementioned "Song for Four" would go on to be used in ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'' for the scene when the Eleventh Doctor calls Clara.

=== The War Doctor's regeneration ===
The scene featuring the War Doctor's regeneration into the Ninth Doctor does not conclude with the emergence of the Ninth Doctor. It only shows hints of his face beginning to form, due the absence of [[Christopher Eccleston]] after a difficult decision not to reprise the role for the anniversary special. [[Steven Moffat]] later explained his reasons for cutting the scene short in an interview published in [[DWM 473]]. He cited the main reason for abbreviating the regeneration as “human decency” for Eccleston.

{{Quote|It was one thing to include him among all the other archive Doctors, as they flew in to save the day — in fact, it would have been disgraceful to have left anyone out — but placing him in that scene might have given the impression he'd actually turned up for filming, which would have been crossing the line. Not taking part in the 50th was a difficult decision for Chris, taken after a lot of thought and with great courtesy, and not respecting his wishes would have been grossly unprofessional and disrespectful to a good man and a great Doctor. Number 9 may not have turned up for the celebrations, but there would have been no party without him.|[[Steven Moffat]]|http://www.doctorwhotv.co.uk/moffat-explains-short-hurt-to-eccleston-regeneration-62935.htm}}

=== Production errors ===
{{discontinuity}}
* There is a basic hair [[continuity|continuity error]] in the scene where [[Elizabeth I|Elizabeth]] and her duplicate catch up with the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors in the forest. As the two Elizabeths each kiss the Tenth Doctor, the Eleventh's quiff inexplicably escapes from underneath the [[fez]] — mostly when he is out of focus — and then is magically back under the fez when he's in tighter shots.
** A similar hair error occurs with the Tenth Doctor when the War Doctor is exclaiming about the "Bad Wolf". After having his hair slicked down for the whole story, his hair suddenly stands on end in one shot with the Moment in the background, which inadvertently resembles the spiky hairstyle the Tenth Doctor wore in his final years.
* When the Tenth Doctor has been kissed by Elizabeth in their wedding, his collar is up in one shot, and down in the next.
* When the Tenth Doctor says "This is not a decision you will ever be able to live with!", as he walks away from the console, the floor is clearly misplaced. One section is above the other.
* A close-up of the screen of the [[Space-time telegraph|Space-Time Telegraph]] shows that it refers to the [[Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|Brigadier]]'s last name as "Left-Bridge" Stewart.
* When all thirteen incarnations of the Doctor arrive to hide Gallifrey in a pocket universe, the Seventh Doctor first appears in his yellow pullover with question marks. When he appears again, his costume changes to the one he wore in the TV Movie and he is now in the Victorian parlour console room. When he appears for the third time, he goes back to wearing the pullover he originally wore in the television series. This emphasises that the archive footage used to generate his presence among the other Doctors has been pulled from asynchronous moments of his life, the early and late periods to be exact.
* It is clearly visible that all the archive-footage Doctors that talk (except the Ninth Doctor) are not speaking when their voices are heard. This is obviously because the audio (except for the First Doctor's) and the clips are not taken from the same episodes, every Doctor having to be shown controlling the TARDIS. At one point the First Doctor's dialogue (newly recorded by an impersonator for this story) is heard as we see an image of William Hartnell, but his lips are not moving at all.
* At the end of the special, when the three Doctors are in the museum, the Tenth Doctor asks what the painting is actually called. In that shot, the door to his TARDIS is open. In every shot after that, the door is closed.
** When Clara enters the Eleventh Doctor's TARDIS and shuts the door, as the Eleventh Doctor starts thinking aloud he could [[retire]] and be "the great curator", Jenna Coleman can still be seen moving around inside the police box prop through a gap between the doors for about a second.
* The last scene of the special, where the Eleventh Doctor is walking out of the TARDIS onto the cloud with his other incarnations, the TARDIS door handle has been obviously removed.
* After the War Doctor's TARDIS ploughs down a group of Daleks in Arcadia and takes flight, the [[SFX]] incorrectly show it as the untarnished Eleventh Doctor's TARDIS complete with the St. John's Ambulance logo, when the [[Practical effect|practical]] War Doctor's TARDIS prop has been heavily battle-damaged.
** In addition to this, a later shot of the Eleventh Doctor's TARDIS flying through space is clearly a reuse of the same footage.
* Right after the three Doctor point their sonics towards the air in the Black Archive-scene, the War Doctor's arm is pointing straight upwards. In the very next shot his arm is bending approximately 90 degrees.
* When the Eleventh Doctor says "we're going to freeze Gallifrey" to the war council, Matt Smith's script can be seen on the TARDIS console.
* As the Eleventh Doctor is about to drop down from the bottom of his TARDIS, the metal harnesses used to hold Matt Smith to the bottom of the police box prop are visible.
* Billie Piper's screen credit at the end identifies her as playing Rose, not the Moment, despite dialogue in her introductory scene directly indicating that Piper is not playing Rose.

=== Deleted scene ===
* A short deleted scene on the BBC ''Doctor Who'' website features the War Doctor, the Tenth and Eleventh arriving at the Tower of London in ankle shackles. The Eleventh says his shoes "bring the cool" and that the Tenth "wouldn't understand the cool", whilst the exasperated War Doctor declares they haven't drawn breath "since Richmond". Likely a result of the scene being dropped from the main episode, it also lacks post-production background cropping to edit out present-day buildings from the location shoot.

== Continuity ==
* A police officer walks by a sign for I.M. Foreman's scrapyard at [[76 Totter's Lane]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|An Unearthly Child]]'')
* Clara is now a teacher at [[Coal Hill School]]. A sign shows that [[Ian Chesterton|I. Chesterton]] is chairman of the school's Board of Governors.
* Clara rides a [[motorbike]] into the TARDIS console room. A policeman from San Francisco previously rode a motorbike into (and very quickly out of) [[the TARDIS]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') The [[Tenth Doctor]] similarly rode a [[moped]] out of the TARDIS ([[TV]]: ''[[The Idiot's Lantern (TV story)|The Idiot's Lantern]]''), and the Eleventh Doctor did the same with a motorbike ([[TV]]: ''[[The Bells of Saint John (TV story)|The Bells of Saint John]]'').
* While the TARDIS previously showed dislike for Clara, Clara is now able to close the TARDIS doors with just a snap of her fingers, suggesting it has grown to like her after saving the Doctor from the [[Great Intelligence]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Rings of Akhaten (TV story)|The Rings of Akhaten]]'', ''[[Hide (TV story)|Hide]]'', ''[[Clara and the TARDIS]]'', ''[[The Name of the Doctor (TV story)|The Name of the Doctor]]'') Previously, only the Doctor in his most recent incarnations, and River Song, had been able to do this. ([[TV]]: ''[[Forest of the Dead (TV story)|Forest of the Dead]]'', ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'', ''[[Day of the Moon (TV story)|Day of the Moon]]'')
* The Eleventh Doctor continues to wear [[Amy's glasses|Amy Pond's reading glasses]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Angels Take Manhattan (TV story)|The Angels Take Manhattan]]'', ''[[The Snowmen (TV story)|The Snowmen]]'', ''[[The Rings of Akhaten (TV story)|The Rings of Akhaten]]'')
* The Eleventh Doctor continues preferring odd reading material; this time it's ''Advanced Quantum Mechanics''. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Wedding of River Song (TV story)|The Wedding of River Song]]'') For some reason, the cover of the book has an image of the TARDIS in its police box disguise.
* Kate asks Osgood to tell "Malcolm" to change the batteries in the robotic ravens outside the [[Tower of London]], and later calls Malcolm to request some of her father's files. This could be [[Malcolm Taylor]], a UNIT scientist the Tenth Doctor met during his time on [[San Helios]] with [[The Swarm (Planet of the Dead)|the Swarm]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Planet of the Dead (TV story)|Planet of the Dead]]'') Kate previously made a seemingly-joking comment to [[Amy Pond]] about having "ravens of death". ([[TV]] ''[[The Power of Three (TV story)|The Power of Three]]'')
* The Doctor again uses the [[TARDIS phone|phone on the outside of the TARDIS]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Bells of Saint John (TV story)|The Bells of Saint John]]'') It had previously not been a real [[phone]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Empty Child (TV story)|The Empty Child]]'') He later tells [[Handles]] to remind him to rewire it back through the console ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time of the Doctor]]''), though he later apparently had not done so ([[TV]]: ''[[Time Heist (TV story)|Time Heist]]'').
* [[Romana II]] said previously that, on Gallifrey, paintings are done by computers. ([[TV]]: ''[[City of Death (TV story)|City of Death]]'')
* The Time Lords in the War Room mention that the [[High Council of Time Lords|High Council]] are holding an emergency session, and that they have plans of their own. However, the General comments that the High Council's plans have "already failed". ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'')
* The War Doctor's statement "No more" in relation to the Time War was also said by [[Dalek Caan]] after he saw the Daleks through all of Time and Space. ([[TV]]: ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'')
* Upon viewing [[the Moment]]'s controls, the War Doctor asks "Why is there never a big [[red]] button?", which the Moment later modifies itself to incorporate. The Tenth Doctor previously mentioned he could never resist pressing a "great, big, threatening button". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Christmas Invasion (TV story)|The Christmas Invasion]]'')
* Like [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] when it inhabited [[Idris]], the Moment is confused between the past and the future. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Wife (TV story)|The Doctor's Wife]]'')
* The [[Tenth Doctor]] marries [[Elizabeth I]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Shakespeare Code (TV story)|The Shakespeare Code]]'', ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'', ''[[The Beast Below (TV story)|The Beast Below]]'', ''[[Amy's Choice (TV story)|Amy's Choice]]'', ''[[The Wedding of River Song (TV story)|The Wedding of River Song]]'') She later shows antagonism towards the Tenth Doctor in [[1599]]. This happened earlier in the Doctor's personal timeline, so he had no idea why she wanted his head. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Shakespeare Code (TV story)|The Shakespeare Code]]'')
* A painting of the Tenth Doctor wearing Elizabethan clothing, including a large collar, is shown alongside a portrait of Elizabeth I's. Although Elizabeth I married the Tenth Doctor, she met both the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors. While investigating a time anomaly in [[Victorian]] London, there was a statue of the Eleventh Doctor in Elizabethan clothing. The Eleventh Doctor said that Elizabeth I had made him wear the clothing, which he thought was for a private portrait. ([[GAME]]: ''[[The Eternity Clock]]'')
* The Tenth Doctor referred to his wedding to Elizabeth I when answering the summons of [[Ood Sigma]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]''), who had appeared to him some amount of time previously ([[TV]]: ''[[The Waters of Mars (TV story)|The Waters of Mars]]'')
* The [[Fourth Doctor]] and [[UNIT]] previously fought the Zygons. ([[TV]]: ''[[Terror of the Zygons (TV story)|Terror of the Zygons]]'')
* The Tenth Doctor previously encountered the Zygons in the [[Lake District]] in [[September]] [[1909]] in the company of [[Martha Jones]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Sting of the Zygons (novel)|Sting of the Zygons]]'') The Eleventh Doctor encountered them when he took [[Amy Pond]] and [[Rory Williams]] on an anniversary trip to the [[Savoy Hotel]] in 1890. ([[The Power of Three (TV story)|TV: ''The Power of Three'']])
* While the Doctor is entranced by a fez, the painting that Clara stops to admire in the Under Gallery shows the latest variant of the [[Cybermen]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Nightmare in Silver (TV story)|Nightmare in Silver]]'')
* The Tenth and Eleventh Doctors try "[[Third Doctor|Reversing the polarity]]", a catchphrase his third incarnation used.
* The [[War Doctor]] doesn't recognise his [[Tenth Doctor|Tenth]] and [[Eleventh Doctor|Eleventh]] incarnations, believing them to be [[companion]]s. The [[Fifth Doctor]] didn't recognise the Tenth, and believed him to be a [[LINDA|fan]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Time Crash (TV story)|Time Crash]]'')
* The Eleventh Doctor once again displays his habit of giving other people nicknames based on their appearance; calling the Tenth Doctor "Matchstick Man" and later "Sandshoes", while calling the War Doctor "Granddad", just as he did with [[Amy Pond]], [[Rory Williams]] and [[River Song]] in the White House. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]'')
* The War Doctor calls the Eleventh Doctor's [[bow-tie]] a "dicky bow", criticising the fashion choice as Amy Pond and Rory Williams had before. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'', ''[[Amy's Choice (TV story)|Amy's Choice]]'', ''[[The Lodger (TV story)|The Lodger]]'')
* When Clara exclaims that "there's three of them", Kate replies "We have a precedent for that." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Three Doctors (TV story)|The Three Doctors]]'')
* When the twelve Doctors contact the War Council to confirm they're ready to put Gallifrey into a pocket universe, the General complains "I didn't know when I was well off! All twelve of them!". This echoes Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart's "Three of them, eh? I didn't know when I was well off!" ([[TV]]: ''[[The Three Doctors (TV story)|The Three Doctors]]'').
* When Kate realises there are multiple Doctors, she asks Malcolm for one of her father's files code-named [[Cromer]], which is a reference to her [[Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|father]] at first believing the [[anti-matter universe]] to be Cromer. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Three Doctors (TV story)|The Three Doctors]]'')
:* She tells him it may be filed under the 70s or the 80s [[UNIT dating controversy|"depending on the dating protocol"]]. 
* When surrounded by Queen [[Elizabeth I]]'s soldiers, the [[War Doctor]] asks the [[Tenth Doctor]] and the [[Eleventh Doctor]] if they were going to "assemble a cabinet at them". The phrase "build a [[cabinet]]" was previously used by [[River Song]] in relation to the sonic screwdriver ([[TV]]: ''[[Day of the Moon]]''), while the [[Ninth Doctor]] asked Jack Harkness if he'd "never had a lot of cabinets to put up" when Jack asked him about the sonic. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor Dances (TV story)|The Doctor Dances]]'') Ironically, the three Doctors later used their screwdrivers offensively to blast a Dalek back with a force field, destroying it.
* The War Doctor gripes at his future incarnations for brandishing their sonic screwdrivers as if they were water pistols. The Tenth Doctor actually used a water pistol against the [[Pyrovile]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Fires of Pompeii (TV story)|The Fires of Pompeii]]'')
* The Eleventh Doctor calls to Clara through a [[wormhole]], referring to her as the "Wicked Witch of the Well". [[Hila Tacorien]] was previously referred to by this name due to the wormhole in [[Caliburn House]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Hide (TV story)|Hide]]'')
* The [[Black Archive]] of [[UNIT]] appears. ([[TV]]: ''[[Enemy of the Bane (TV story)|Enemy of the Bane]]'', [[COMIC]]: ''[[Don't Step on the Grass]]'')
* The War Doctor and his successors were haunted over the 2.47 billion children of Gallifrey they killed by using the Moment. When the Eleventh Doctor took [[Amy Pond]] to [[Starship UK]], he was moved by the sound of children crying. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Beast Below (TV story)|The Beast Below]]'')
* The Tenth Doctor asks the Eleventh where he's going, to which the Eleventh Doctor replies, "Spoilers". ([[TV]]: ''[[Silence in the Library (TV story)|Silence in the Library]]'' / ''[[Forest of the Dead (TV story)|Forest of the Dead]]'' et al.)
* Kate encounters an alien which duplicates her appearance and impersonates her. This had previously happened when a [[Dæmon]] statue had taken her shape. ([[HOMEVID]]: ''[[Dæmos Rising (home video)|Dæmos Rising]]'')
* When a Zygon is killed disguised as another creature, it keeps the form of that creature. ([[HOMEVID]]: ''[[Zygon: When Being You Just Isn't Enough (home video)|Zygon: When Being You Just Isn't Enough]]'')
* When the War Doctor enters the Tenth Doctor's TARDIS he says he really "let it go"; the Eleventh comments that this was his "grunge phase". The Eleventh Doctor then loads his own 'desktop', changing the TARDIS design. The Tenth declares he doesn't like it. The [[Second Doctor]] said the same when he saw the [[Third Doctor]]'s TARDIS ([[TV]]: ''[[The Three Doctors (TV story)|The Three Doctors]]'') and the redesigned UNIT HQ ([[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]''), as did the Eleventh Doctor when visiting [[Craig Owens]] in his new home. ([[TV]]: ''[[Closing Time (TV story)|Closing Time]]'') The [[Fifth Doctor]] also disliked the Tenth Doctor "changing the desktop theme" when they accidentally ran their TARDISes into each other. ([[TV]]: ''[[Time Crash (TV story)|Time Crash]]'') The TARDIS told the Doctor that she archived past and future versions of the console room in ''[[The Doctor's Wife (TV story)|The Doctor's Wife]]''. While changing the theme the Console Room briefly features a hybrid of the Tenth Doctor's Console Room and the original TARDIS [[roundel]] design which is later seen to be the War Doctor's TARDIS theme. 
* The Doctor's various selves having difficulty getting on with each other when they meet. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Three Doctors (TV story)|The Three Doctors]]'', ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'', ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'', ''[[Time Crash (TV story)|Time Crash]]'')
* Many alien artefacts from previous adventures are seen in the Black Archive, including River Song's red heels, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time of Angels (TV story)|The Time of Angels]]'') [[Magna-Clamp]]s, ([[TV]]: ''[[Army of Ghosts (TV story)|Army of Ghosts]]''/''[[Doomsday (TV story)|Doomsday]]'') the head of a [[Supreme Dalek (New Dalek Empire)|Supreme Dalek]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Stolen Earth (TV story)|The Stolen Earth]]/[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'') a [[Dalek enhanced Tommy Gun|Dalek tommy gun]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Evolution of the Daleks (TV story)|Evolution of the Daleks]]'') the restraining chair from the [[Joshua Naismith|Naismith]] mansion, ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]''), the [[Space-time telegraph]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Terror of the Zygons (TV story)|Terror of the Zygons]]'') the [[sonic probe]] used by an older version of [[Amy Pond]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Girl Who Waited (TV story)|The Girl Who Waited]]'') the facemask of one of the [[Clockwork Droid]]s, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Girl in the Fireplace (TV story)|The Girl in the Fireplace]]'') Amy Pond's pinwheel, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'') a [[Sontaran blaster]], the half part of a [[Silent]], {{what}} the head of a [[Cyberman]], and some [[TARDIS coral]].
* The promise the Doctor made "Never cruel or cowardly.  Never give up, never give in." is almost identical to the idea that Ace has of him as when she tries to maintain her identity she thinks of the Doctor as "impulsive, idealistic, ready to risk his life for a worthy cause... hates tyranny and oppression... never gives in... never gives up... believes in good and fights evil... though often caught up in violent situations, he is a man of peace. He is never cruel or cowardly." ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Revelation]]'')
* The [[Tenth Doctor]], when returning to his own timeline, tells the [[Eleventh Doctor]] that he is glad his "future is in safe hands". These are exactly the same words the [[First Doctor]] says to the [[Fifth Doctor]] upon the former's departure. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'') 
* The security protocol for the Black Archive involves a self-destruct triggered through nuclear warhead detonation at the sacrifice of all human life in the blast radius. A similar nuclear option against alien attack was developed by UNIT in the form of the [[Osterhagen Project]] and was also nearly activated. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Stolen Earth (TV story)|The Stolen Earth]]'', ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'')
* When the Doctor calls from the [[Phone|TARDIS phone]], his telephone number once again is 07700900461. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Stolen Earth (TV story)|The Stolen Earth]]'')
* This episode greatly resembles the events of ''[[The Fires of Pompeii]]''; primarily, the sequence depicting the three Doctors placing their hands on the Moment resembles the scene in where Donna and the Doctor blow up Mount Vesuvius. In both cases, the Doctor was agonising over a terrible decision (Pompeii or the world; Gallifrey or the universe), but somebody came to support him, and share the responsibility of pressing the button. These two stories also resemble each other in that the Doctor's companion convinces the Doctor to take a different path rather than resigning himself to an unalterable consequence. (Donna convinced him to save Caecilius and his family; Clara convinces the Doctor to save Gallifrey without destroying the Time Lords).
* The [[Eleventh Doctor]] refers to his fate on [[Trenzalore]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Wedding of River Song (TV story)|The Wedding of River Song]]'', ''[[The Name of the Doctor (TV story)|The Name of the Doctor]]'', ''[[The Time of the Doctor]]'')
* The Tenth Doctor, upon hearing of Trenzalore, says they need to take a different direction as "I don't want to go." His successor notes that "He always says that", as it was his last words before his [[regeneration]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'')
* Prior to regenerating, the [[War Doctor]] comments that his body is "wearing a bit thin", repeating the line spoken by the [[First Doctor]] immediately prior to his own regeneration into the [[Second Doctor]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Tenth Planet (TV story)|The Tenth Planet]]''). He then hopes that "the [[ear]]s are a bit less conspicuous this time"; the Ninth Doctor makes a reference to the size of his ears when meeting Rose. ([[TV]]: ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'')
* An eccentric, Doctor-like character who went by the name "the Curator" appeared in the story ''[[Summer Falls (novel)|Summer Falls]]'', which was marketed as being written by Amelia Williams.
* While making the treaty, one of the Kate Stewarts can be heard saying "We both know what happened to the [[Sycorax]]. Neither of us want to be reduced to an ash cloud over London." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Christmas Invasion (TV story)|The Christmas Invasion]]'')
* The Tenth Doctor tells the Eleventh Doctor "Oh, don't start" when he says "hello" to the Queen Elizabeth's, recognising it as the same trick Captain Jack Harkness often pulled- flirting with people from the moment he said "hello" - one he repeatedly stopped. ([[TV]]: ''[[Bad Wolf (TV story)|Bad Wolf]]'', [[TV]]: ''[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]'')
* The War Doctor excitedly exclaims that he could [[kiss]] the "Bad Wolf girl", to which the Moment replies with, "that's definitely gonna happen." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Parting of the Ways (TV story)|The Parting of the Ways]]'')
* The forgetfulness of the Tenth Doctor, caused by the out-of-sync timelines, explains why the Doctor didn't recognise himself when he saw himself in [[Prisoner Zero]] the day he regenerated into the Eleventh Doctor. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'')
* When the Tenth Doctor declared that Queen Elizabeth was a Zygon, the Eleventh Doctor confirmed this by saying he checked, the Tenth Doctor told him to shut up. Later when {{Gomez}} said she was a Mobile Intelligence System Interface and the [[Twelfth Doctor]] said she looked very realistic, Clara noted the tongue as Missy had kissed the Doctor, to which the Doctor told her to shut up. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dark Water (TV story)|Dark Water]]'')
* Androgar mentions "All Dalek fleets surrounding the planet now converging on the capital, but the [[sky trench]]es are holding." The Daleks managed to breach 400 sky trenches surrounding Arcadia, which was considered "the safest place on Gallifrey" by veteran Time Lord soldiers on duty at a city outpost, and until the final day of the Time War, nothing in history had managed to breach more than 2 sky trenches. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Last Day (TV story)|The Last Day]]'')
* The effects of the Zygon treaty are covered in ''[[The Zygon Invasion (TV story)|The Zygon Invasion]]'' and ''[[The Zygon Inversion (TV story)|The Zygon Inversion]]''.
* In ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'', [[Gallifrey]] has been unfrozen and moved to "the [[end of the universe]] give or take a star system." How this happened is unknown as the [[Twelfth Doctor]] tells Clara since he didn't ask while on Gallifrey.
* The Doctor states he is going to Gallifrey "the long way round." When he finally reaches Gallifrey in ''[[Heaven Sent (TV story)|Heaven Sent]]'' and ''[[Hell Bent (TV story)|Hell Bent]]'', he reiterates this to a young boy and [[the General]]. Clara later uses this phrase herself when she states she will return to Gallifrey "the long way round" to die.
