Revision as of 23:28, 28 November 2015
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.
Synopsis
The Doctor is alone and trapped in a place unlike any other and he must face his greatest challenge yet. One final test. A fearsome creature called the Veil is stalking him an he must do the most impossible. He must complete the task, and Gallifrey awaits his return...
