“I will always remember when the Doctor was me.” — Doctor Who review: The Time of the Doctor.
Previously on Doctor Who: The Day of the Doctor.
Raggedy man… good night.
And ‘good night’ we say — to the Eleventh Doctor, to the raggedy man, the madman with a box, to fish fingers with custard. But even as we say good night, we say hello — to the Doctor. The same man, who will never forget who he used to be. Still is. Always will be. Just with new kidneys. Continue reading →

Don’t miss The Five(ish) Doctors, 10pm on Saturday night!
Another BBC Red Button feature will amuse fans on Saturday night, directly after The Day of the Doctor: according to the RadioTimes, Peter Davison has written a spoof, featuring fellow past Doctor Who actors Colin Baker, Paul McGann, Sylvester McCoy, along with Jon Pertwee’s son Sean and Olivia Coleman (Broadchurch).
Introducing: The Day of the Doctor
Behind the scenes, Matt Smith, David Tennant, John Hurt, Billie Piper, Jenna Coleman, and Steven Moffat talk a teensy bit about the 50th Anniversary Special, The Day of the Doctor.
The Night of the Doctor — the Anniversary Prequel
What a corker! There we are, getting to actually see Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor again — once more onto the breach!
The Last Great Time War has been raging for so long that the entire Universe has been affected, and much of it destroyed. The Eighth Doctor has been staying away, keeping out of it, wanting no part of the bloodshed. But he must — for he’s the only one who can end it. This confirms what this Anniversary Special will be about: the big mystery, the one that was only touched upon in The End of Time, explained enough but never quite. Introducing John Hurt as “the War Doctor” also means that the count will remain the same. He’s an anomaly, a triggered regeneration brought on by the Sisters who guard the flame of eternal life. They granted the Doctor a boon, something to make it through before regularly regenerating into Nine (Christopher Eccleston). We see a young John Hurt in the reflection, confirming his status as an anomaly, a Doctor that will age before regenerating.
As with every long-standing mystery, there is trepidation when writers undertake the resolution of those mysteries, and I know that the fandom is embroiled in debate about this as we speak. Personally, I like this. I love that we got to see Paul McGann reprise his role, and I’m very much looking forward to seeing the three Doctors, 8.5, Ten and Eleven, make this terrible decision together that will finally end the Time War. Eight chose to be a warrior for this, because that’s what he never wanted to be, but has to become if he wants to get through this and save the Universe. It also explains just how much of that is going to linger in Nine when he first meets Rose. Ten said it, he was born from blood, anger, and revenge — and this is how it starts.
