The Easter Special was an episode of Doctor Who which airs outside the regular run during the Easter weekend. Unlike Christmas and New Year Specials, this was not a Doctor Who tradition year-to-year.
As of 2022[update], there have been only two Easter Specials. The first came in 2009, with Planet of the Dead, which aired on the Saturday between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Years later, the 2022 Easter Special, Legend of the Sea Devils, actually aired on Easter Sunday, taking advantage of the show's then-regular Sunday evening timeslot.
The Easter holiday was not significant, symbolically or thematically, to either special, though Planet of the Dead featured the Tenth Doctor enjoying a chocolate Easter egg and musing about having been present at the very first Easter.
