The Day of the Doctor was the fiftieth anniversary special of Doctor Who. It saw a sky-shattering revelation about the Time War and featured the most number of Doctors in a single episode: all thirteen, including an astounding glimpse of another Doctor who had never been seen before, only this time, instead of being a past Doctor, it was a future incarnation, becoming the first episode to proactively reveal an incarnation of the Doctor before their birth via regeneration. The special also included a surprise cameo from an elderly Tom Baker, the former Fourth Doctor, deliberately keeping the nature of his role ambiguous as either the Doctor or someone else entirely.
Synopsis
The Doctors embark on their greatest adventure in this 50th anniversary special. In 2013, 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.

Story notes

Production errors
to be added
Continuity
- Clara is now a teacher at Coal Hill School. A sign shows that Ian Chesterton is chairman of the school's Board of Governors.
- The Tenth Doctor's wedding with Elizabeth I is shown (TV: The Shakespeare Code, The End of Time, The Beast Below). Presumably, the fact he indicates no intention of returning to his new wife is what results in her antagonism towards him when they next meet (TV: The Shakespeare Code).
- The Eleventh Doctor refers to his fate on Trenzalore. (TV: The Wedding of River Song, The Name 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.", being his last words before his regeneration. (TV: The End of Time)
- The Tenth doctor notices the Eleventh changing the TARDIS design, and then declares he doesn't like it. This is the exact same thing the Second Doctor did when he saw the Third Doctor's TARDIS. (TV: The Three Doctors)
- This is the first televised appearance of the Zygons since TV: Terror of the Zygons.
- 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 regeneration into the Second Doctor.
Footnotes
- ↑ The BBC iPlayer notes credit John Hurt's character as "the Other Doctor"
- ↑ Tom plays an enigmatic character implied to be the Doctor known as "the Curator" towards the end of the episode. However, the credits only credit Tom as "the Doctor".
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 Plays a Zygon duplicate as well as the original
