 [[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. 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 "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 now an engaged man. They split up in the woods, but Elizabeth is accosted by the Zygon. The Doctor runs through the woods, even threatening a rabbit 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.
 In 2013, 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 [[Osgood (The Day of the Doctor)|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: no).
 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 board containing photos of Clara's last visit to the Black Archive also showcase photos of previous associates of the Doctor, including [[Wilfred Mott]], [[Rory Williams]], [[Amy Pond]], [[River Song]], [[Kamelion]], [[Martha Jones]], [[Peri Brown]], [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]], [[Nyssa]], [[Donna Noble]], [[Mike Yates|Captain Yates]], [[Adric]], [[Sara Kingdom]], [[Tegan Jovanka]] , [[Barbara Wright]], [[Polly Wright]], [[Grace Holloway]], [[Ben Jackson]], [[Ian Chesterton]], [[Susan Campbell|Susan]], Brigadier [[Winifred Bambera]], UNIT Captain [[Erisa Magambo]], and [[Rose Tyler]].
 * [[Kate Lethbridge-Stewart]]'s mobile phone has a TARDIS [[dematerialisation]] sound set as her ringtone when the Doctor calls.

 * The opening scenes further mimic the original open to [[TV]]: ''[[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 reference to [[Anthony Coburn]], who wrote ''An Unearthly Child'', and [[Waris Hussein]], ''Doctor Who'''s original director.
 * ''Day'' is the sixth 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]]'', ''[[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 was completely uncredited for his brief appearance). As a result, Matt Smith and David Tennant are listed first and second respectively, but Christopher Eccleston is credited above John Hurt.
 * 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'.
 * Jonjo O'Neill (McGillop) is erroneously credited as 'McGuillop' in ''Radio Times''.
-* 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 [[TV]]:''[[Victory of the Daleks (TV story)|Victory of the Daleks]]''.

-* When paired with the prequel episode [[TV]]: ''[[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 the doctor.

 * 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]]'')
