-'''''The Time of the Doctor'''''  was the [[2013 (releases)|2013]] ''[[Doctor Who]]'' [[Christmas special]]. It was the 800th episode of the series and the final appearance of [[Matt Smith]] as the [[Eleventh Doctor]] during his tenure. It served as a conclusion to the entirety of the Smith era, bringing back both [[the Silence]] and [[Trenzalore]] and bringing their stories to a close. [[Karen Gillan]] also made a surprise cameo as a hallucination of [[Amy Pond]], rounding out Smith's era.
+'''''The Time of the Doctor'''''  was the [[2013 (releases)|2013]] ''[[Doctor Who]]'' [[Christmas special]]. It was the 800th episode of the series and the final regular appearance of [[Matt Smith]] as the [[Eleventh Doctor]]. It served as a conclusion to the entirety of the Smith era, bringing back both [[the Silence]] and [[Trenzalore]] and bringing their stories to a close. [[Karen Gillan]] also made a surprise cameo as a hallucination of [[Amy Pond]], rounding out Smith's era.
 The special tackled an issue that hadn't been talked about since the series came back in 2005: that of the limited amount of [[regeneration]]s, introduced in ''[[The Deadly Assassin (TV story)|The Deadly Assassin.]]'' It confirmed that [[the Doctor]] had actually used up all twelve of his possible regenerations, before being granted a brand new regeneration cycle at the end of this story. It also served as [[Peter Capaldi]]'s formal introduction as the new [[Twelfth Doctor]], after making a surprise cameo appearance in ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]''.
