As the Doctor sets course for Trenzalore, the TARDIS realises what he is about to do and protests by fighting the coordinates while the Doctor forces her onwards.

They open the doors, finding the TARDIS stopped in orbit around Trenzalore. The Doctor muses that it's where he ends up, as he thought he would retire and become a bee keeper. Clara asks him if they are going to jump, which he dismisses as silly. He proclaims that they're going to fall. The TARDIS has powered down everything, aside from the [[anti-gravity|anti-gravs]]. Declaring "guess what I'm turning off", he sends the TARDIS plunging down through Trenzalore's atmosphere to the surface. | They open the doors, finding the TARDIS stopped in orbit around Trenzalore.

They land in a graveyard hastily assembled during battle. The rough landing cracks one of the windows in the TARDIS exterior, which upsets the Doctor. They exit into the graveyard, to find their friends. Clara asks why the graves have headstones of unequal size. The Doctor explains that the more important the warrior, the bigger the tombstone. | They land in a graveyard hastily assembled during battle.

As they embrace, however, he notices [[War Doctor|a shadowy figure standing nearby]]. His smile melts away and is replaced with intense fear. Clara notices the figure but does not recognise him, despite having thought she'd seen all eleven of the Doctor's faces. The Doctor, showing great apprehension, explains that the figure is, in fact, him, but isn't the Doctor. He continues that his real name was not the point; he chose the name "the Doctor" himself like a promise, and this mysterious man was "the one who broke the promise". ''He'' is his secret. After Clara collapses, the Doctor picks her up in his arms. The figure defends himself, saying that he had no choice and that his actions were "in the name of peace and sanity". The Doctor acknowledges this, but defiantly and angrily states that those actions had not been "in the name of the Doctor". | As they embrace, however, he notices [[War Doctor|a shadowy figure standing nearby]].

* This marks the first television story in the revived series to use the complete moniker of "(Number) Doctor" when Clara says "You're the Eleventh Doctor". This has arguably happened before, however; in ''[[The Three Doctors (TV story)|The Three Doctors]]'', Sergeant Benton specifically refers to Patrick Troughton's character as "the Second Doctor" (albeit not really due to him being the second incarnation). Many previous stories, such as [[TV]]: ''[[The Lodger (TV story)|The Lodger]]'' or ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'' have either used just the number ("Eleventh") or regeneration ("Fourth") respectively. John Hurt's unknown Doctor notwithstanding, this could be seen to finally put to bed speculation as to whether the unknown faces during the "mental duel" in [[TV]]: ''[[The Brain of Morbius (TV story)|The Brain of Morbius]]'' were pre-Hartnell incarnations of the Doctor. | * This marks the first television story in the revived series to use the complete moniker of "(Number) Doctor" when Clara says "You're the Eleventh Doctor".

* [[Steven Moffat]] stated that he wanted to have a new monster in the finale, after the series had seen the reappearance of old monsters such as the [[Ice Warrior|Ice Warriors]], Cybermen, and Daleks. The idea of the Whisper Men came from "the thought of stylish, whispering, almost faceless creatures" which seemed frightening and appropriate for "an episode that looks forward and back". | |||
* The episode was leaked early after a [[BBC America]] store accidentally sent out the season seven box set two weeks before the episode aired. Despite [[Steven Moffat]] asking for people to not reveal anything, one newspaper revealed spoilers from the episode including the reveal of [[John Hurt]] as a new Doctor. | |||
* [[Alex Kingston]] actually slapped [[Neve McIntosh]] for real when River slaps Madame Vastra to wake her up. The stage direction for the moment ended with a cheeky "Good luck, Neve!". | |||
* In [[Steven Moffat]]'s original conception, the Doctor would explicitly identify the time rift in his tomb on Trenzalore as leading back to the final day of the Time War. Once Clara had been splintered and scattered throughout the Doctor's life, he didn't enter the rift to save her. Instead, Clara emerged from it on her own, but then started screaming about knowing who the Doctor really is. This convinced the Doctor to return to the Time War via the rift, leading into ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]''. | |||
* [[Steven Moffat]] suggested using footage of Amy falling from the Pandorica in ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'' and the Doctor being shot at Lake Silencio in ''[[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)|The Impossible Astronaut]]''. In both cases, a crewmember had inadvertently appeared in shot, and Moffat thought that carefully-staged cutaways could give the impression that this was actually Clara. | |||
* [[Steven Moffat]]'s first draft depicted Clara living in a remote [[cottage]], where the TARDIS lay abandoned in the [[garden]]. There she would awaken from dreams in which the various echoes of herself interacted with the many incarnations of the Doctor. As of the second draft, this setting was replaced by an empty void. Another abandoned notion was the arrival of an earlier manifestation of the TARDIS on Trenzalore, from which an unidentified figure emerged. | |||
* [[Steven Moffat]] considered resolving the puzzle of the help-line woman who had provided Clara with the TARDIS phone number in [[The Bells of Saint John (TV story)|''The Bells of Saint John'']]. He contemplated revealing that this mystery figure was, in fact, an aged version of one of Clara's echoes, but he eventually decided to wait until [[Series 8 (Doctor Who 2005)|Series 8]] to revisit the mystery. | |||
* At one point, there would have been more substantial appearances by [[Oswin Oswald]] and [[Clara Oswin Oswald]]. Oswin would have told her mother about feeling that she belonged amongst the stars, leading to her decision to join the Space Corps. Similarly, Clara would have realised that she was meant to be caring for children, referring to the original Clara's role as a nanny to the Maitland family, prompting her decision to seek work as a governess. | |||
* The episode comprised Block Eleven of season seven. | |||
* This was the last of four episodes produced by [[Denise Paul]], while [[Marcus Wilson]] turned his attention to ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]''; he would instead be credited as series producer. | |||
* Production overlapped with the last week of work on [[Nightmare in Silver (TV story)|''Nightmare in Silver'']]. [[Saul Metzstein]] had to organise the early part of his shooting schedule very carefully, to account for the days when [[Matt Smith]] and [[Jenna Coleman|Jenna-Louise Coleman]] were still needed for that episode. | |||
* The last scene was recorded during production of ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]].'' For this reason, and because many major details of the special had not yet been finalised, the shooting script ended at the point where River disappeared and the Doctor entered the rift. | |||
* Strax's pub brawl in Glasgow was the first scene to be shot. | |||
* The Doctor's burial chamber was the TARDIS set redressed. | |||
* Some footage of Clara appearing througout the Doctor's timeline was achieved by recording on physical sets, with stand-ins representing the previous Doctors, while other instances were created using green screen effects to insert [[Jenna Coleman]] into archival footage. | |||
* Clara was originally going to witness the [[Eighth Doctor]] regenerate into the [[War Doctor]]. This was instead depicted in ''[[The Night of the Doctor (TV story)|The Night of the Doctor]].'' | |||
* The episode was supposed to end with a scene of the Doctor carrying Clara out of his timestream and back into reality. The scene had to be cut before filming due to [[Matt Smith]] injuring his knee. | |||
* [[Matt Smith]] recalled that and he [[Jenna Coleman]] were told not to swing on the bars during the TARDIS's fall to Trenzalore. He went and did so anyway. | |||
* The scene where the Doctor and River say their final goodbyes was filmed in just one take. By the end, both cast and crew were in tears. | |||
* This was the final episode in [[Matt Smith]]'s original three season contract. The production team was unsure whether he would want to return for ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'' and ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]''. | |||
* [[John Hurt]] was only confirmed a month before filming was to begin. When [[Steven Moffat]] wrote the script, he had a placeholder that said "The world's most famous actor turns around, revealed as The Doctor." | |||
