The '''50th Anniversary Specials''' were a number of stories released in [[2013 (releases)|2013]] to celebrate the 50th anniversary of ''[[Doctor Who]]''. Like the 20th anniversary special, {{cs|The Five Doctors (TV story)}}, these specials are not considered to be part of a numbered season. | |||
The two main stories were {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (TV story)}} and {{cs|The Time of the Doctor (TV story)}}, principally starring [[Matt Smith]] as the [[Eleventh Doctor]] and [[Jenna Coleman]] as [[Clara Oswald]]. | |||
== Overview == | == Overview == | ||
The | The 50th Anniversary Specials followed on from the final moments of {{cs|The Name of the Doctor (TV story)}}, in which [[Clara Oswald]] discovered the Doctor's greatest secret, a previously unknown incarnation known as the [[War Doctor]]. Because of this narrative connection, ''The Name of the Doctor'' was subsequently included in the ''[[50th Anniversary Collector's Edition]]'' box set. | ||
The anniversary stories revolved around the War Doctor and the final events of the [[Last Great Time War]]. The Christmas special also followed on from ''Name'' by focusing on the Doctor's life on [[Trenzalore]] and resolving a great deal of conflicts and mysteries surrounding his lifetime, and the coming end of his life. | |||
The specials featured a number of the Doctor's regenerations, specifically those of the [[Eighth Doctor|Eighth]], War, and [[Eleventh Doctor|Eleventh]] Doctors. As such, the regenerations of all but the [[Second Doctor]] have now been depicted on-screen. | |||
During the specials, the [[regeneration cycle]] introduced in the [[1976 (releases)|1976]] serial ''[[The Deadly Assassin (TV story)|The Deadly Assassin]]'' was addressed. Before the specials aired, discussions and rumours about the War Doctor's true nature made it unclear whether or not the Doctor had truly undergone just ten regenerations up to Matt Smith's incarnation. | |||
Furthermore, the specials answered the long-standing fan speculation that had arisen since the events of the two-part [[Series 4 (Doctor Who 2005)|Series 4]] finale in [[2008 (releases)|2008]], {{cs|The Stolen Earth (TV story)}} and {{cs|Journey's End (TV story)}}, where the Tenth Doctor circumvented a regeneration and whether or not that had counted in the cycle. | |||
The formal introduction of the War Doctor and the eventual depiction of his own regeneration into the [[Ninth Doctor]] meant the Doctor actually had regenerated more times than previously suggested. When the birth of the [[Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor]] was also proven to have used up a regeneration, it signified all twelve regenerations in the cycle were exhausted. The Doctor was then bestowed a second regeneration cycle to bypass this limit. | |||

- You may be looking for the 60th Anniversary Specials or another anniversary altogether.
The 50th Anniversary Specials were a number of stories released in 2013 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who. Like the 20th anniversary special, The Five Doctors [+]Loading...["The Five Doctors (TV story)"], these specials are not considered to be part of a numbered season.
The two main stories were The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (TV story)"] and The Time of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Time of the Doctor (TV story)"], principally starring Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor and Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald.
Overview[[edit] | [edit source]]
The 50th Anniversary Specials followed on from the final moments of The Name of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Name of the Doctor (TV story)"], in which Clara Oswald discovered the Doctor's greatest secret, a previously unknown incarnation known as the War Doctor. Because of this narrative connection, The Name of the Doctor was subsequently included in the 50th Anniversary Collector's Edition box set.
The anniversary stories revolved around the War Doctor and the final events of the Last Great Time War. The Christmas special also followed on from Name by focusing on the Doctor's life on Trenzalore and resolving a great deal of conflicts and mysteries surrounding his lifetime, and the coming end of his life.
The specials featured a number of the Doctor's regenerations, specifically those of the Eighth, War, and Eleventh Doctors. As such, the regenerations of all but the Second Doctor have now been depicted on-screen.
During the specials, the regeneration cycle introduced in the 1976 serial The Deadly Assassin was addressed. Before the specials aired, discussions and rumours about the War Doctor's true nature made it unclear whether or not the Doctor had truly undergone just ten regenerations up to Matt Smith's incarnation.
Furthermore, the specials answered the long-standing fan speculation that had arisen since the events of the two-part Series 4 finale in 2008, The Stolen Earth [+]Loading...["The Stolen Earth (TV story)"] and Journey's End [+]Loading...["Journey's End (TV story)"], where the Tenth Doctor circumvented a regeneration and whether or not that had counted in the cycle.
The formal introduction of the War Doctor and the eventual depiction of his own regeneration into the Ninth Doctor meant the Doctor actually had regenerated more times than previously suggested. When the birth of the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor was also proven to have used up a regeneration, it signified all twelve regenerations in the cycle were exhausted. The Doctor was then bestowed a second regeneration cycle to bypass this limit.
The 2013 specials saw the end of Matt Smith's tenure as the Eleventh Doctor, and ended with his regeneration into the Twelfth, played by Peter Capaldi.
Celebrating the shows 50th anniversary, several of the specials also featured previous actors who had portrayed the Doctor. Paul McGann portrayed the Eighth Doctor on-screen for the first time since his initial portrayal in TV: Doctor Who [+]Loading...["Doctor Who (TV story)"], David Tennant returned as the Tenth Doctor, and all other former actors were seen through the use of archive footage. Tom Baker also returned but instead playing the role of the Curator, an enigmatic character who is a future incarnation of the Doctor. The War Doctor was also played by John Hurt.
Although Jenna Coleman returned as sole companion Clara Oswald, Billie Piper returned to the series, but portraying a representation of the Bad Wolf, rather than her regular character of companion Rose Tyler.
