The Christmas special is very notable for retconning one major event in the Doctor's life, in that the episode shows the First Doctor had one last adventure during the events of [[The Tenth Planet (TV story)|The Tenth Planet ]]before he regenerated, and continuing from the Twelfth Doctor's refusal to regenerate from the last episode, here it's revealed that the First Doctor was scared of changing into a different person and had actually tried doing the same thing as his future successor, and for most of the story until the end both Doctors were prolonging their regenerations, the longest time any incarnation of the Doctor has prolonged a regeneration before, however the First Doctor soon accepts his impending change after seeing the good he's going to do in his life and his story ends with his regeneration into the [[Second Doctor]], marking the first time two incarnations of the Doctor are seen regenerating in the same story and also helps explain why the TARDIS console had begun moving on it's own during the First Doctor's final moments. | The Christmas special is very notable for retconning one major event in the Doctor's life, in that the episode shows the First Doctor had one last adventure during the events of [[The Tenth Planet (TV story)|The Tenth Planet ]]before he regenerated, and continuing from the Twelfth Doctor's refusal to regenerate from the last episode, here it's revealed that the First Doctor was scared of changing into a different person and had actually tried doing the same thing as his future successor, and for most of the story until the end both Doctors were prolonging their regenerations, the longest time any incarnation of the Doctor has prolonged a regeneration before, however the First Doctor soon accepts his impending change after seeing the good he's going to do in his life and his story ends with his regeneration into the [[Second Doctor]], marking the first time two incarnations of the Doctor are seen regenerating in the same story and also helps explain why the TARDIS console had begun moving on it's own during the First Doctor's final moments. | ||
The most notable moment of the entire episode however was the introduction of [[Jodie Whittaker]] as the Thirteenth Doctor. Whittaker is the first actress to take on the role and portray the previously male Doctor in the history of the series run, as well as marking the introduction of the first ever incarnation of the Doctor to be female rather than male. | The most notable moment of the entire episode however was the introduction of [[Jodie Whittaker]] as the [[Thirteenth Doctor]].
