'''''The Doctor Appears''''', also known as '''''Doctor Who appears in 3D''''' in its [[YouTube]] upload, was a special ''[[Doctor Who (TV series)|Doctor Who]]'' minisode that was part of [[Comic Relief]] on [[15 March (releases)|15 March]] [[2013 (releases)|2013]].


It was broadcast as part of Comic Relief 2013.
It was notable for having originally been performed live, before being recorded and broadcast. As stage plays are not considered [[Tardis:Valid sources|valid]] on this Wiki, only the actual broadcast/webcast version is valid on this Wiki, as opposed any images or information that was visible to the live audience but not in frame in the TV version.
