Speaking on it, Gatwa said: | |||
{{Quote|There aren’t quite the words to describe how I’m feeling. A mix of deeply honoured, beyond excited and of course a little bit scared. This role and show means so much to so many around the world, including myself, and each one of my incredibly talented predecessors has handled that unique responsibility and privilege with the utmost care. I will endeavour my upmost to do the same. Russell T Davies is almost as iconic as the Doctor himself and being able to work with him is a dream come true. His writing is dynamic, exciting, incredibly intelligent and fizzing with danger. An actor’s metaphorical playground. The entire team have been so welcoming and truly give their hearts to the show. And so as much as it’s daunting, I’m aware I’m joining a really supportive family. Unlike [[the Doctor]], I may only have one heart but I am giving it all to this show.|[[Ncuti Gatwa]]|https://www.doctorwho.tv/news-and-features/ncuti-gatwa-is-the-doctor}} | |||
Showrunnner Davies added: | |||
{{Quote|The future is here and it’s Ncuti! Sometimes talent walks through the door and it’s so bright and bold and brilliant, I just stand back in awe and thank my lucky stars. Ncuti dazzled us, seized hold of the Doctor and owned those [[TARDIS key]]s in seconds. It’s an honour to work with him, and a hoot, I can’t wait to get started. I’m sure you’re dying to know more, but we’re rationing ourselves for now, with the wonderful [[Glass avatar|Jodie]]’s epic finale yet to come. But I promise you, [[2023 (releases)|2023]] will be spectacular!|[[Russell T Davies]]|https://www.doctorwho.tv/news-and-features/ncuti-gatwa-is-the-doctor}} | |||
On [[26 March (releases)|26 May]], Russell T Davies spoke to ''Doctor Who Magazine'', [[DWM 578|issue 578]], about his plans around the reveal of Gatwa and their follow-up appearance at the [[BAFTA]]-awards show.<ref>https://cultbox.co.uk/news/russell-t-davies-to-resume-writing-production-notes-column</ref> | |||

|DedicatedTo=<!--This exact credit never actually used as of April 2010; left for future use--> | |||
|InMemoryOf= | |||
|Note=Though not credited in any way, [[Mat Irvine]] did help considerably with the operation of [[K9]] for this episode. In the DVD commentary, [[Phil Collinson]] acknowledges Irvine as the "operator of the original K9 prop", as seen in the very last scene of the episode, and admitting that the original prop had been stored in Irvine's garage and was found especially for this scene. | |||
|Note2=This episode marked a big change in the make-up department, with [[Barbara Southcott]] becoming the more-or-less permanent [[make-up designer]] on the show. Also, Millennium Effects became "Millennium FX" with this episode, and have been credited thus since. | |||
|Note3=[[Guido Cerasuolo]]'s actual credit is "Line Producer Italy". | |||
|Note4=[[Ernie Vincze]]'s surname is misspelled as "Vince" in the credits as originally transmitted. | |||
|Note5=This was the first episode of the [[BBC Wales]] series to have two credited script editors. Oddly, [[Emma Freud]] was credited at the end of the roll, suggesting she was considered more "senior" than [[Brian Minchin]]. | |||
|Note6=As on ''[[The Vampires of Venice]]'', [[Patrick Schweitzer]] was double-credited as both [[producer]] and [[line producer]]. | |||
|Note7=This episode marked the ''Doctor Who'' debut of [[production designer]] [[Michael Pickwoad]], the [[BBC Wales]] debut of [[costume designer]] [[Barbara Kidd]], and the first time that something like twenty team members had been credited for their work on ''Doctor Who''. It was the biggest sea change of behind-the-scenes personnel in [[BBC Wales]] history, much bigger, in fact, than the changes that had occurred with ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]''. | |||
|Note8=<br /><br />In [[CON]]: ''[[Charlie McDonnell - Runner (CON episode)|Charlie McDonnell - Runner]]'', [[Jay Harley]] — then credited under their [[T:ACTOR#Crediting trans people|deadname]] — was described as a [[runner]], and even depicted as delivering [[tea]] to cast and crew. However, they're credited here as an "assistant director", albeit lower than the [[3rd AD]], which does still essentially mean that they were a runner. | |||
|Note9=<br /><br />This is the first episode of the [[BBC Wales]] series in which the title "Script Editor" is not used. | |||
|Note10=This story had no direct [[Visual Effects]] credit, which means that it unusually didn't credit [[The Mill]]. Instead, the roll credited many more workers from The Mill than usual, and even changed [[Will Cohen]]'s normal title to the grander, "[[Executive Visual FX Producer]]". | |||
|Note11=[[Rhys Jones (props)|Rhys Jones]] is credited as a "Prop Chargehand" rather than a "Props Chargehand". | |||
|Note12=No Ood actually appear in this episode, but they receive a creator credit. | |||
|Note13=[[Jay Harley]] was credited under their [[T:ACTOR#Crediting trans people|deadname]] as [[assistant director]]. | |||
|Note14=• ''[[The Tenth Planet (TV story)|The Tenth Planet]]'' was written by [[Kit Pedler]] and [[Gerry Davis]] • | |||
|Note15=Note: Standby art director [[Ifan Lewis]] was erroneously credited as "Ifan Lewis Lewis" | |||
<!--There are note variables from Note2 to Note20, but these are probably only necessary for the odd case of "The End of Time". This set of variables are the only ones which aren't automatically linked; it's just a freeform note field. All Notes mass together in a single paragraph at the end of the table created by this template. Thus, each individual note should be a full sentence ending with a period, and should have any links enclosed in [[brackets]]. | |||

* [[Billie Piper]] expressed a willingness to return as [[Rose Tyler]] at some point "if the circumstances and the story were right”.<ref>https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/doctor-who-billie-piper-return-hint-newsupdate/</ref> | |||
* [[Matt Smith]] expressed a willingness to return as the [[Eleventh Doctor]] at some point "if the timing was right, and after giving [[Jodie Whittaker]] a chance. I think we've got to give a few years to Miss Whittaker to get the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] under her belt, as it were, and then yeah — one day". <ref>https://www.looper.com/613178/matt-smith-would-return-to-doctor-who-under-one-condition/</ref> | |||
* Davies' new era could bring back the [[Christmas Special]].<ref>https://vocal.media/futurism/russell-t-davies-to-reintroduce-doctor-who-christmas-specials-ahead-of-60th-anniversary?fbclid=IwAR0HGsR8Cm3eOLpNeN5Kq6KRFRwnqWCTJcos_XbkLFUxEwimN6F1U9o8QAo</ref><ref>https://www.tvzoneuk.com/post/drwho-xmas23-report1</ref> | |||
* According to ''[[The Mirror]]'', the new era will get spin-offs focusing on villains such as the [[Dalek]]s, [[Sontaran]]s, [[Cyberman|Cybermen]], [[Sea Devil]]s and [[Weeping Angel]]s, centering around what they get up to when the Doctor is not around.<ref>https://cultbox.co.uk/news/headlines/rumour-doctor-who-villains-to-get-spin-off-series-in-disney-deal</ref> | |||
** Spin-offs happening was further supported by [[Katy Manning]], who also hinted at "people returning".<ref>https://twitter.com/tardis_central/status/1632134307652198404?s=46&t=n1ymF6URs9Fk5Zw8aOt81A</ref> | |||
* According to ''[[The Sun (newspaper)|The Sun]]'', [[Davina McCall]] - the voice of [[Davinadroid]] from [[Series 1 (Doctor Who)|Series 1]] - will return to to the series, only this time playing a fictionalised version of herself.<ref>https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/doctor-who-davina-mccall-christmas-special-newsupdate/</ref> | |||
=== Production errors === | |||
{{discontinuity}} | |||
* In the scene when Donna asks the woman if she could borrow £10 as it's Christmas, you can clearly see that Donna is wearing sports shoes instead of her usual white wedding shoes; Catherine Tate had been wearing sports shoes between takes. | |||
* Even though it is supposed to be Christmas, it is obvious that the special was filmed during the summer, because all the trees have leaves on them, etc. | |||
* When Donna returns to the reception, and the Doctor borrows a gentleman's phone, you see a menu item that says "Play". It is obvious that the HC Clements search that the Doctor does is a movie clip on the phone. | |||
* The mask of the Roboform which abducts Donna in the taxi has eye lenses on its Santa mask which change from plain blue to fake eyes like those seen on the masks of other disguised Roboforms. | |||
* When the Roboforms surround the hotel, they are armed with a flamethrower trombone, a missile-launcher tuba, a machine gun trumpet, a bugle of unknown ordnance, a tenor horn or euphonium of unknown ordnance, and the remote control for the bauble bombs. However, when they face the Doctor in the ballroom, the tenor horn/euphonium has been swapped for a curling, bugle-like instrument, looped over the Roboform's shoulder. | |||
== Continuity == | |||
{{section cleanup|As per [[Forum:Non-valid Continuity sections, categories, and prefixes#Continuity sections]], this section needs to be written from an '''out-of-universe perspective'''.}} | |||
* [[The Doctor's TARDIS]] regenerates itself from severe damage as it did in {{cs|The Eleventh Hour (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)}} and {{cs|The Ghost Monument (TV story)}}. Unlike on previous occasions, this was triggered by the Doctor rather than automatically and did not result in the TARDIS' appearance changing. | |||
* The Doctor and Donna are stranded due to the [[Hostile Action Displacement System|HADS]] activating as it had done before in {{cs|Cold War (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)}} and {{cs|The Witch's Familiar (TV story)}} | |||
* The Doctor licks a substance to determine its properties, a trait that was present in their [[Tenth Doctor|tenth incarnation]] seen in {{cs|The Christmas Invasion (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Idiot's Lantern (TV story)}} and {{cs|Planet of the Dead (TV story)}}. This carried onwards into their [[Eleventh Doctor|eleventh incarnation]] such as in {{cs|The Eleventh Hour (TV story)}} and {{cs|Day of the Moon (TV story)}} as well as their [[Thirteenth Doctor|thirteenth incarnation]], like in {{cs|It Takes You Away (TV story)}}. | |||
* On learning that he and Donna have arrived in 1666, the Doctor advices Isaac Newton to avoid London. This is due to the [[Great Fire of London]] which he inadvertently caused in {{cs|The Visitation (TV story)}} | |||
* When posing as Donna, one of the not-things mentions that the Doctor was [[Timeless Child|not born on Gallifrey]] which they learned in {{cs|The Timeless Children (TV story)}}. In the same conversation, the Doctor states that [[the Flux]] "destroyed half of the universe because of me", referring to the events of {{cs|The Vanquishers (TV story)}}. | |||
** The Master previously accidentally destroyed 25% of the universe (which included the [[Traken Union]]) with [[Entropy]] by closing off the [[Charged Vacuum Emboitement]]s to [[E-Space]] in {{cs|Logopolis (TV story)}}). | |||

Overview
Early announcements
On 28 September 2023, during the Doctor Who @ 60: A Musical Celebration concert to mark the 60th Anniversary of Doctor Who, Russell T Davies joked about having plans for a "series 4" that there weren't room for in "series 3".[2]
On 1 November, Davies revealed in SFX magazine that he was already planning his "season 3" now, and that there are plans for a "season 4" to come.[3]
Promotion
The very first bit of promotion for this series came on 24 September 2021 with the reveal that Russell T Davies would be leading the show from the 60th anniversary and into "series beyond".[4]
On 6 January 2022, visual effects editor Emily Lawrence spoke to Doctor Who Magazine 573 and offered a look into what may be in store for the future of the show, hinting at 360 screens and gaming software akin to shows like The Mandalorian, saying "The 360 screens in "The Mandalorian" and how they used gaming software to create those amazing landscapes is something I’d love to see in "Doctor Who", the actors walk in front of the screen and the environment moves with them.", explaining it would get rid of green screens once and for all.[5]
On 8 May, Ncuti Gatwa, Millie Gibson shared a post on Instagram containing two hearts and a blue box.[6] Shortly after, it was officially announced by the BBC that Gatwa would take on the role of the Doctor.[7] Speaking on it, Gatwa said:
There aren’t quite the words to describe how I’m feeling. A mix of deeply honoured, beyond excited and of course a little bit scared. This role and show means so much to so many around the world, including myself, and each one of my incredibly talented predecessors has handled that unique responsibility and privilege with the utmost care. I will endeavour my upmost to do the same. Russell T Davies is almost as iconic as the Doctor himself and being able to work with him is a dream come true. His writing is dynamic, exciting, incredibly intelligent and fizzing with danger. An actor’s metaphorical playground. The entire team have been so welcoming and truly give their hearts to the show. And so as much as it’s daunting, I’m aware I’m joining a really supportive family. Unlike the Doctor, I may only have one heart but I am giving it all to this show.
Showrunnner Davies added:
The future is here and it’s Ncuti! Sometimes talent walks through the door and it’s so bright and bold and brilliant, I just stand back in awe and thank my lucky stars. Ncuti dazzled us, seized hold of the Doctor and owned those TARDIS keys in seconds. It’s an honour to work with him, and a hoot, I can’t wait to get started. I’m sure you’re dying to know more, but we’re rationing ourselves for now, with the wonderful Jodie’s epic finale yet to come. But I promise you, 2023 will be spectacular!
On 26 May, Russell T Davies spoke to Doctor Who Magazine, issue 578, about his plans around the reveal of Gatwa and their follow-up appearance at the BAFTA-awards show.[8]

Disney+ President Alice Bowen also weighed in:

And what better way to do that than being by the fabulous Ncuti Gatwa’s side, I just can’t wait to get started."[19]

Not every person who worked on this adventure was credited. The absence of a credit for a position doesn't necessarily mean the job wasn't required. The information above is based solely on observations of the actual end credits of the episodes as broadcast, and does not relay information from IMDB or other sources. |
Though not credited in any way, Mat Irvine did help considerably with the operation of K9 for this episode. In the DVD commentary, Phil Collinson acknowledges Irvine as the "operator of the original K9 prop", as seen in the very last scene of the episode, and admitting that the original prop had been stored in Irvine's garage and was found especially for this scene.
This episode marked a big change in the make-up department, with Barbara Southcott becoming the more-or-less permanent make-up designer on the show. Also, Millennium Effects became "Millennium FX" with this episode, and have been credited thus since.
Guido Cerasuolo's actual credit is "Line Producer Italy".
Ernie Vincze's surname is misspelled as "Vince" in the credits as originally transmitted.
This was the first episode of the BBC Wales series to have two credited script editors. Oddly, Emma Freud was credited at the end of the roll, suggesting she was considered more "senior" than Brian Minchin.
As on The Vampires of Venice, Patrick Schweitzer was double-credited as both producer and line producer.
This episode marked the Doctor Who debut of production designer Michael Pickwoad, the BBC Wales debut of costume designer Barbara Kidd, and the first time that something like twenty team members had been credited for their work on Doctor Who. It was the biggest sea change of behind-the-scenes personnel in BBC Wales history, much bigger, in fact, than the changes that had occurred with The Eleventh Hour.

Rumours
- Billie Piper expressed a willingness to return as Rose Tyler at some point "if the circumstances and the story were right”.[153]
- Matt Smith expressed a willingness to return as the Eleventh Doctor at some point "if the timing was right, and after giving Jodie Whittaker a chance. I think we've got to give a few years to Miss Whittaker to get the TARDIS under her belt, as it were, and then yeah — one day". [154]
- Davies' new era could bring back the Christmas Special.[155][156]
- According to The Mirror, the new era will get spin-offs focusing on villains such as the Daleks, Sontarans, Cybermen, Sea Devils and Weeping Angels, centering around what they get up to when the Doctor is not around.[157]
- Spin-offs happening was further supported by Katy Manning, who also hinted at "people returning".[158]
- According to The Sun, Davina McCall - the voice of Davinadroid from Series 1 - will return to to the series, only this time playing a fictionalised version of herself.[159]
Production errors
- In the scene when Donna asks the woman if she could borrow £10 as it's Christmas, you can clearly see that Donna is wearing sports shoes instead of her usual white wedding shoes; Catherine Tate had been wearing sports shoes between takes.
- Even though it is supposed to be Christmas, it is obvious that the special was filmed during the summer, because all the trees have leaves on them, etc.
- When Donna returns to the reception, and the Doctor borrows a gentleman's phone, you see a menu item that says "Play". It is obvious that the HC Clements search that the Doctor does is a movie clip on the phone.
- The mask of the Roboform which abducts Donna in the taxi has eye lenses on its Santa mask which change from plain blue to fake eyes like those seen on the masks of other disguised Roboforms.
- When the Roboforms surround the hotel, they are armed with a flamethrower trombone, a missile-launcher tuba, a machine gun trumpet, a bugle of unknown ordnance, a tenor horn or euphonium of unknown ordnance, and the remote control for the bauble bombs. However, when they face the Doctor in the ballroom, the tenor horn/euphonium has been swapped for a curling, bugle-like instrument, looped over the Roboform's shoulder.
Continuity
As per Forum:Non-valid Continuity sections, categories, and prefixes#Continuity sections, this section needs to be written from an out-of-universe perspective.
- The Doctor's TARDIS regenerates itself from severe damage as it did in The Eleventh Hour [+]Loading...["The Eleventh Hour (TV story)"], The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Loading...["The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)"] and The Ghost Monument [+]Loading...["The Ghost Monument (TV story)"]. Unlike on previous occasions, this was triggered by the Doctor rather than automatically and did not result in the TARDIS' appearance changing.
- The Doctor and Donna are stranded due to the HADS activating as it had done before in Cold War [+]Loading...["Cold War (TV story)"], The Magician's Apprentice [+]Loading...["The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)"] and The Witch's Familiar [+]Loading...["The Witch's Familiar (TV story)"]
- The Doctor licks a substance to determine its properties, a trait that was present in their tenth incarnation seen in The Christmas Invasion [+]Loading...["The Christmas Invasion (TV story)"], The Idiot's Lantern [+]Loading...["The Idiot's Lantern (TV story)"] and Planet of the Dead [+]Loading...["Planet of the Dead (TV story)"]. This carried onwards into their eleventh incarnation such as in The Eleventh Hour [+]Loading...["The Eleventh Hour (TV story)"] and Day of the Moon [+]Loading...["Day of the Moon (TV story)"] as well as their thirteenth incarnation, like in It Takes You Away [+]Loading...["It Takes You Away (TV story)"].
- On learning that he and Donna have arrived in 1666, the Doctor advices Isaac Newton to avoid London. This is due to the Great Fire of London which he inadvertently caused in The Visitation [+]Loading...["The Visitation (TV story)"]
- When posing as Donna, one of the not-things mentions that the Doctor was not born on Gallifrey which they learned in The Timeless Children [+]Loading...["The Timeless Children (TV story)"]. In the same conversation, the Doctor states that the Flux "destroyed half of the universe because of me", referring to the events of The Vanquishers [+]Loading...["The Vanquishers (TV story)"].
- The Master previously accidentally destroyed 25% of the universe (which included the Traken Union) with Entropy by closing off the Charged Vacuum Emboitements to E-Space in Logopolis [+]Loading...["Logopolis (TV story)"]).
