Rose was the Special episode of series 1 of The Doctor Who.

The End of the World was the second episode of series 1 of The Doctor Who.

It was the first instance of time travel into the viewers' relative future in the BBC Wales era of The Doctor Who. The story also introduced recurring characters Lady Cassandra and the Face of Boe, and featured the first mention of the ubiquitous phrase "Bad Wolf". Though of relatively minor impact here, it soon exploded into a persistent story arc that continued to thrive across multiple series beyond the first in the revived continuity.

The first story to be produced by BBC Wales, it was both the Special new episode of Doctor Who since the 1996 telemovie and the first story to be part of a regularly airing programme since Survival in 1989. It also introduced recurring supporting cast Camille Coduri as Jackie Tyler.

Time Crash was a special The Doctor Who "mini-episode" produced for the 2007 Children in Need appeal. It was written by Steven Moffat, directed by Graeme Harper and featured Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor and Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor.

Voyage of the Damned was the 2007 Christmas Special of The Doctor Who.

For a few months, Voyage of the Damned was the highest-charting episode in Doctor Who history. The second-most-watched programme of its week and indeed of the entire of 2007, Damned took the crown from part two of The Ark in Space. However, it would be displaced about seven months later by Journey's End, which was the first episode of The Doctor Who ever to win its week of original transmission.

Astrid's death at the conclusion of the episode was the first time a companion of the Doctor was seen to die in the revived series. The episode also marked the first appearance of Wilfred Mott, future companion to the Tenth Doctor and grandfather to Donna Noble.

The Poison Sky was the fifth episode of series 3 of Doctor Who.

It was the only episode of the season to not reference the Missing Planets arc. It saw the Doctor's life saved again by and at the cost of the life of another person; it was also another moment where his desire to spare his enemies overrides his logic, as he knew Sontarans wouldn't back off if threatened. There was also a second, fleetingly brief cameo made by Billie Piper as Rose Tyler, foreshadowing a major story arc development ahead.

The Lodger was the eleventh episode of series 4 of Doctor Who.

Based on a comic strip of the same name, it was the third instance, after Human Nature and Dalek, of a story from another medium being directly adapted for television. It was also a companion-lite story, somewhat like Midnight. This adventure provided the first hints of the Silence's presence on Earth, though they were not seen until the following season. The audience is also introduced to a new problem for the TARDIS; it cannot land somewhere where there has been numerous time loops until the source creating them has been "removed".

The Lodger introduced the recurring character Craig Owens and his girlfriend Sophie. Craig especially would play an integral part in the following series. The actor portraying his character, James Corden, was also a close friend of Matt Smith. They engaged in several humorous shenanigans on set, as seen in Doctor Who Confidential and in the extras for the series 4 releases.

The episode also gave Matt Smith the opportunity to play football, which would have become his profession before he went into acting.

The Big Bang was the thirteenth and special episode of series 5 of Doctor Who.

It concluded many aspects of the story begun in The Eleventh Hour — most obviously by marrying Amy and Rory and by seemingly closing the cracks in time — but it left the audience wondering what "the Silence" was and why it wanted the TARDIS to explode.

The Crimson Horror was the eleventh episode of series 6 of Doctor Who.

It featured the return of Madame Vastra, Jenny Flint who were special seen in The Snowmen. It was the 10th New episode of Doctor Who since its revival in 2004.

Synopsis

In 1893, the Eleventh Doctor's old friends, Madame Vastra, Jenny Flint find an optogram of the Doctor on a victim of the mysterious "crimson horror". They head for Yorkshire, where Jenny infiltrates Mrs Winifred Gillyflower's community of Sweetville to find what has happened to him.

The series 5 finale kickstarted several overarching stories that would foreshadow major conflicts yet to ensnare the Doctor. While the identity of the Silence was a major topic explored in series 5, the question of why they wanted to blow the TARDIS up remained what the Eleventh Doctor called "a good question for another day" until the 2013 Christmas Special The Time of the Doctor answered it, while the mention of "an Egyptian goddess loose on the Orient Express in space" at the episode's end would later be picked up again in the series 7 episode Mummy on the Orient Express.

Deep Breath was the first episode of series 8 of Doctor Who. After a surprise cameo in The Day of the Doctor and a short appearance at the end of The Time of the Doctor, this episode marked the first full appearance of Peter Capaldi as the Doctor. Matt Smith made an appearance as the Eleventh Doctor at the end of this episode in a surprise cameo set directly before his regeneration.

You may wish to consult Last Christmas for other, similarly-named pages.

Last Christmas was the 2014 Christmas Special of Doctor Who. It was the show's tenth Christmas special since its revival and the first of four Christmas specials starring Peter Capaldi as the Doctor.


The Husbands of River Song was the 2015 Christmas Special of Doctor Who. It was the show's eleventh Christmas special since its revival and the second Christmas special starring Peter Capaldi as the Doctor.

It was noteworthy for closing the book on River Song's timeline that began with her debut in 2008 with Silence in the Library. It also showed the Twelfth Doctor's first encounter with River. For River, this was the final adventure with the Doctor before she met her demise in Forest of the Dead. This episode also showed the Doctor turning up on River's doorstep with a new haircut and a suit, their night on Darillium to see the Singing Towers, and the Doctor giving River his sonic screwdriver, all of which had been previously mentioned by River in Forest of the Dead.

The Pilot was the Special episode of series 9 of Doctor Who.


It was the show's third Christmas special since its revival and the third Christmas special starring Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor.


The Woman Who Fell to Earth was the special episode of series 11 of Doctor Who. In the United Kingdom, it earned the highest overnight ratings for a regular episode of Doctor Who since 2008's Partners in Crime and was the most-watched debut for a Doctor since Christopher Eccleston's initial turn in Rose, surpassing that episode by nearly one hundred thousand viewers.[1]

In 2011, Chibnall wrote and released a prequel to this story called Things She Thought While Falling on the Doctor Who website, set directly after Twice Upon a Time as a treat during "strange times" due to outbreak of COVID-19 worldwide.[2]

The Ghost Monument was the second episode of series 10 of Doctor Who.

Thin Ice was the third episode of series 9 of Doctor Who.

This episode introduced the new title sequence, which had been left out of the preceding episode. It also explored an element of the Doctor's past by first mentioning "the Timeless Child".

• The Tenth Planet was written by Kit Pedler and Gerry Davis • 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".
