It achieved the Guinness World Record for the largest ever simulcast of a TV drama[9] and won the Radio Times Audience Award at the 2. British Academy Television Awards.[1. The 7. 7- minute episode shows the last day of the Time War, in which the War Doctor (John Hurt) chooses to kill both Daleks and his own race of Time Lords to end the destructive conflict, paralleling this with a present- day choice by paramilitary organisation UNIT to destroy London rather than allow an alien invasion. Revising the back story, the Doctor succumbs to Clara Oswald's plea to change his mind; and instead, at the last instant of the Time War, he hides his war- torn home planet in time, rather than destroy it. Unfortunately the time distortions incurred causes all but his latest incarnation to have no memory of his changed decision. The episode starred Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor and Jenna Coleman as his companion, Clara Oswald.

Previous lead actors David Tennant and Billie Piper returned for the episode, Tennant reprising his role as the Tenth Doctor, while Piper portrayed a sentient doomsday weapon called the Moment, projected as an image based on her character Rose Tyler. She is invisible and inaudible to everyone but the War Doctor (John Hurt). Other appearances included a very brief glimpse of the then- upcoming Twelfth Doctor (Peter Capaldi), who would succeed Matt Smith in "The Time of the Doctor",[1.

Fourth Doctor actor Tom Baker, in his late 7. Rounding out the guest cast were Joanna Page as Queen Elizabeth I[1.

Jemma Redgrave as Kate Stewart, the daughter of 1. Brigadier Lethbridge- Stewart.[1.

The special also featured the return of the Daleks[1. Zygons, shape- shifting aliens who had previously appeared only in Terror of the Zygons (1. As the episode celebrates fifty years of the programme, it references and alludes to various concepts featured throughout the show's run. It has been described by series producer Marcus Wilson as a "love letter to the fans" and by the controller of BBC One, Danny Cohen, as an "event drama".[5][1. Mini- episodes[edit]Two mini- episodes written by Steven Moffat, "The Night of the Doctor" (1. November 2. 01. 3) and "The Last Day" (2. November 2. 01. 3), were released shortly prior to "The Day of the Doctor", depicting in- series events occurring during the Time War between the Doctor's own race of Time Lords and his nemesis, the Daleks.

In "The Night of the Doctor", Paul Mc. Gann reprised his role as the Eighth Doctor from the 1.

Big Finish audio plays. He is a conscientious objector to the ongoing Time War and intends to rescue a crew member from a crashing spaceship via the TARDIS. Realising that her rescuer is a Time Lord she refuses to comply, preferring to die rather than go with him.

She and the Doctor die as the ship crashes on Karn. The Doctor is resurrected temporarily by the Sisterhood of Karn (who control a secret Elixir of Life in the 1. The Brain of Morbius). They persuade the Doctor to take action to end the Time War, offering him a selection of potions to control his regeneration. He reluctantly accepts that with all of reality threatened and the universe "on the brink", there is not much need for a doctor, and chooses a potion designed to initiate his regeneration into a hitherto unknown incarnation of the Doctor as a "warrior" (described in credits as the "War Doctor" and played by John Hurt)."The Last Day" is filmed from the first- person perspective of a Gallifreyan soldier who has had a camera implanted in his head.

The soldiers scan for Daleks at Arcadia, Gallifrey's second city and believed due to its impregnable defences to be the safest place on the Time Lords' home planet. During training exercises, a blurred object in the sky is identified shockingly as the first of a fleet of successfully invading Daleks, which kill the soldiers. The "Fall of Arcadia" becomes the central battle of the Time War around which "The Day of the Doctor" is centred. Watch Ghosts Of Mars HD 1080P. The Eleventh Doctor and Clara Oswald aid the military organisation UNIT, headed by Kate Stewart, in investigating a mystery at the Undergallery, a secret vault housed at the National Gallery. Three- dimensional paintings, made with Time Lord stasis cubes, appear to have been broken from within; the figures previously in the paintings are now missing. While examining the paintings, a fissure in time opens above them and the Doctor jumps into it.

The Moment prop as shown at the Doctor Who Experience. In the midst of the Time War between the Time Lords and the Daleks, the War Doctor — a hitherto- unknown incarnation of the Doctor — decides to trigger an ancient weapon called The Moment in order to destroy both sides completely. The Moment is sentient and manifests itself as Rose Tyler. It questions whether mass killing is the best option for ending the Time War and prescribes the Doctor's punishment if he does so — he will survive while the rest of his race dies. The Moment offers to show the Doctor what this will turn him into and opens a fissure linking him to the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors.

The three Doctors converge in the year 1. Tenth Doctor has been tracking down a Zygon. They discover that the Zygon is disguised as Queen Elizabeth, who captures and imprisons them in the Tower of London. Meanwhile, within UNIT's Black Archive, Clara learns that the Zygons from Elizabethan England have entered the three- dimensional paintings in the Undergallery and have emerged in 2. UNIT members so that they could utilise UNIT's weapons and technology. While the three Doctors are in their cell, The Moment encourages the War Doctor to ask them the questions he needs answered before he decides whether to destroy Gallifrey. After a tense exchange, the Doctors devise an escape plan.

They then encounter the real Queen Elizabeth and learn through her of the Zygon scheme to conquer Earth. Kate Stewart also learns of the Zygon plan and locks herself in the Black Archive with the Zygons, starting a countdown that will detonate a nuclear warhead underneath the archive. The Doctors, unable to land a TARDIS in the Black Archive, instead use the stasis cube technology to enter a painting. They exit the painting in the present and use the archive's mind- wiping equipment to render the UNIT members and Zygons temporarily unaware which of them are which. The countdown is stopped and all present negotiate a perfectly fair peace treaty, as they no longer know which way to skew it. The War Doctor, now convinced that detonating the Moment will save many more lives in the longer term, is returned to his time by the Moment.

The other two Doctors follow him in their TARDISes with the intention of helping him so as to share his burden. After Clara reminds them of their choice of the title "Doctor" and what it stands for, the Doctors devise an alternative solution. They plan to use the stasis technology to freeze the entire planet of Gallifrey in a single moment in time, which would be kept in a pocket universe.

When Gallifrey disappears, the surrounding Dalek warships would obliterate themselves in the inevitable crossfire and both species will appear to have been wiped out. The Doctors relay their plan to the Time Lords and then surround Gallifrey, which erupts in a bright light."I have a new destination. My journey is the same as yours, the same as anyone's. It's taken me so many years, so many lifetimes, but at last I know where I'm going.

Where I've always been going. Home, the long way round. The Eleventh Doctor. The Doctors and Clara return to the Gallery, unsure whether the plan worked.
