Christmas 2012 – [[Peter Davison (The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who)|Peter Davison]] is at home watching ''[[The Snowmen]]'' with his two sons [[Louis Moffett|Louis]] and [[Joel Moffett|Joel]] (who is watching from behind the sofa, and who both made their acting debut). When asked if there will be a 50th anniversary special, and if he will be in it, he answers that he is not sure, and while his sons seem delighted at the prospect of it featuring just [[Matt Smith (The Doctor Appears)|Matt Smith]] and [[David Tennant (Tonight's the Night)|David Tennant]], Davison is quite concerned that he is going to be left out.

Davison now walks through the [[BBC Television Centre (The Longest Night)|BBC Television Centre]] to the admiration of Matt Smith, [[Jenna Coleman]], and [[Steven Moffat (Afterword)|Steven Moffat]], as well as several other ''Doctor Who'' crew members. But suddenly [[Janet Fielding]] appears and tells him that he is dreaming and that they are not really going to call him, and he awakes in bed. While walking his dog he rings his agent to see if he has been asked to appear in the special.

'The Four Doctors' Convention 2013 - In the hospitality suite, [[Paul McGann (Hospitality)|Paul McGann]] is reading a script while Baker and McCoy look on, noting that he is always filming. Davison joins them stating that his contact has given him the filming dates, and that he has a plan. On the phone McGann asks his agent if they have heard anything about the ''Doctor Who'' special, disappointed for the answer to be "nothing at all." McCoy asks if they should call [[Tom Baker (Bafflement and Devotion)|Tom]], thinking he might like to join the team. But both Baker, Davison, and even McCoy himself is reluctant to make the call, so they bicker a bit over who gets to do it, before Baker finally gives in and takes out his phone. Tom Baker (as the [[Fourth Doctor]]) is seen punting down a river as his phone rings, before being swept into a time vortex, so they instead reach his voicemail, which informs them that he is "[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|stuck in the sodding time vortex, again!]]" and can therefore not assist them right now. Despite this, McGann informs them that regardless of what they are planning, he's in ... "work permitting, obviously."

McCoy states that he would like to be involved, but can't as he is due to return to New Zealand and ''The Hobbit'', and Baker returns home expecting a special delivery. Baker's wife and daughters hope that he hasn't noticed that it has arrived, but much to their chagrin he has. It is a Special Edition DVD of ''[[Vengeance on Varos]]'', to replace another that went missing. Baker happily points out that this version has extra features, "Even more of me!", and sits down to watch it with his reluctant family, who can't escape as he locked all the doors in the house.

McCoy is waiting in his trailer speaking on his phone, saying how Peter Jackson often leaves him waiting in case he has a moment of inspiration, which rarely happens. Fed up with waiting, he decides to "live dangerously", leaves a note, and flies back to [[Great Britain]]. Davison speaks to Baker to let him know it's on, "Thursday morning, you know where."

Holding a sign declaring "No Classics No 50th!!", Davison stands outside [[BBC Television Centre (The Longest Night)|BBC Television Centre]]. McCoy and Baker sit and watch quoting (and misquoting) their respective Doctors. McCoy notes that he has a sinking feeling, while someone knocks on his trailer back in New Zealand. When asking where Paul is, Baker answers that he has "[[The Night of the Doctor|filming commitments]]".

On the set of ''The Hobbit'', [[Peter Jackson]] is told of McCoy's disappearance and asks [[Ian McKellen]], who at first has no idea who McCoy is, if he can shoot the scene without him, something which McKellen believes might actually be an improvement.

The three actors soon enter the studios, noting the musical difference between standing just inside and outside of the door, but soon shrug it off and continue. Entering the TARDIS studio itself, they agree "let's do it!" A child points his [[sonic screwdriver]] at the various costumes in the Experience, but soon stops when he notices the fifth, sixth, and seventh Doctor's jackets are missing.

Now wearing their old costumes, Davison and co enter the TARDIS set but almost immediately criticise it. McCoy doesn't like the stairs, Baker thinks it to be too dark, and Davison remarks how nothing wobbles. They soon leave to find the ''Doctor Who'' crew filming the [[The Day of the Doctor|50th anniversary special]], but are not sure how to actually be in it, as Davison never actually thought they'd get this far. When moving on to scene 19, a voice is heard asking for three [[Dalek]]s, and an idea strikes them.

Three [[Dalek operator]]s, reading "[[Dalek Operator Gazette]]", make their way to the set, but find themselves locked in their room. Making their way to the set, the three Doctors are now inside three Daleks, but are told off by a BBC employee for being late. The actual operators themselves return to their magazines, considering the crew to be the ones losing out. When they have finished filming, Davison, Baker and McCoy congratulate themselves on having made it into the episode, but are unable to get out of the Dalek costumes.

* Classic Doctor [[Tom Baker]] does not appear in the film, although [[Jon Culshaw]] provides a Tom Baker impression for his voice over "cameo". Baker actually appeared in ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'' as the [[Curator (The Day of the Doctor)|Curator]]. Davison said in an interview that he contacted Baker three times to see if he wanted to do it, but he got no reply back.[http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/doctor-who-star-peter-davison-coming-to-brisbane-20131217-2zjcm.html] This parallels a similar situation in the original ''The Five Doctors'' when Baker declined to participate. In both cases, his presence was provided by way of footage from [[TV]]: ''[[Shada (TV story)|Shada]]''.
