Heaven Sent was the eleventh episode of the ninth series of Doctor Who produced by BBC Wales.
It features Clara Oswald as a manifestationer part of the Doctor's imagination after he lost her to the Quantum Shade in Face the Raven.
The episode is notable for revealing the inside of the Doctor's Confession Dial, revealing it to be the Doctor's final test, a prison that is bigger on the inside and very much like a miniscope.
It is also notable for showing the Doctor finally finding his way back to Gallifrey since he found out that it was not in fact destroyed in the Time War, but placed in a pocket universe.
Furthermore, the Doctor revealed that the hybrid myth was wrong, that it was not half-Dalek half-Time Lord, but that he was the hybrid.
This story takes place over an outstandingly long period of time, seeing the Doctor stuck in a recursive cycle that lasts for at least 2 billion years, during which he repeatedly perishes and comes back to life.

References
- What seems like more than two billion years passes for the Doctor within the confession dial. However, as the Doctor keeps reverting back to his state upon arrival, he likely did not age at all.
- The Doctor says he hates gardening.
- A portrait of Clara is hanging in the castle.
- The Doctor discusses the Brothers Grimm to the Veil and the tale of the Shepard Boy.
Story notes
- Whilst the episode was promoted by various news outlets as a one-hander, the presence of manifestations of Clara and the Veil, and the appearance of the young boy at the end of the episode, technically go against this; however, the bulk of the storyline was carried by the Doctor alone.
