The episode featured the return of [[David Tennant]] as the [[Tenth Doctor]] and the appearance of [[John Hurt]] as a previously unknown incarnation of the Doctor: the [[War Doctor]], in what was the final chronological adventure for his portrayal of the Doctor. His only full-length adventure on screen introduced a new iteration of the [[sonic screwdriver]] and a unique [[TARDIS control room]] predating those seen in [[Series 1 (Doctor Who)|Series 1]]. | The episode featured the return of [[David Tennant]] as the [[Tenth Doctor]] and the appearance of [[John Hurt]] as a previously unknown incarnation of the Doctor: the [[War Doctor]], in what was the final chronological adventure for his portrayal of the Doctor.

Furthermore, the War Doctor's [[regeneration]] was shown, into what appeared to be the [[Ninth Doctor]], completing a missing link in the chain of incarnations that started when [[Christopher Eccleston]] debuted in the [[2005 (releases)|2005]] relaunch of the series, ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]''.

Moffat also chose to requisition actor [[Paul McGann]] for one more outing as the [[Eighth Doctor]] in a mini-episode production, ''[[The Night of the Doctor (TV story)|The Night of the Doctor]]'' one week after production wrapped on the anniversary special, resulting in a second former Doctor returning to the screen as part of the festivities. McGann filmed his own regeneration into Hurt's version of the Doctor, cementing the lineage of all Doctors up to Smith's incarnation onward. | Moffat also chose to requisition actor [[Paul McGann]] for one more outing as the [[Eighth Doctor]] in a mini-episode production, ''[[The Night of the Doctor (TV story)|The Night of the Doctor]]'' one week after production wrapped on the anniversary special, resulting in a second former Doctor returning to the screen as part of the festivities.

He could call himself "the Great Curator", [[retire]] and become the curator of this gallery. A very familiar voice affirms that he really might. The astonished Doctor looks over to see a very familiar face standing next to him. [[Curator (The Day of the Doctor)|An old man]] who greatly resembles the [[Fourth Doctor]] speaks to him of the painting, which he says he acquired under "remarkable circumstances". He tells the Doctor that its two names are actually one: the true title of the painting is ''[[Gallifrey Falls No More]]''. The Doctor realises that he was successful, and Gallifrey was indeed saved. The mysterious man reveals that it is simply "lost", and that the Doctor has a lot to do. He also muses that he and the Doctor might be the same man from different perspectives, sounding wistful about days gone by, congratulating the Doctor on the new journey he is about to commence. As to whether or not he truly is an incarnation of the Doctor from the future, the Curator simply teases the thought, "Who knows, eh? Who... '[[nose]]'?", and with a tap of his nose, he turns and walks away. The Eleventh Doctor concludes that he has a mission, the mission of a lifetime: he must find Gallifrey and return it and all its people to the universe. | ||
