Synopsis

A special episode of the British science fiction TV Series "Doctor Who." On the last day of the Time War, a man who refuses to call himself “The Doctor” is faced with an appalling choice: in order to end the bloodshed, he must use an ancient Time Lord weapon to slaughter billions. In 1562, the Tenth Doctor hunts Zygons in England with Queen Elizabeth I. In the present day, UNIT asks the Eleventh Doctor and Clara to investigate a mystery at an art gallery. All of these events become intertwined, leading three incarnations of the same Time Lord to confront the most terrible moment of their lives.

Critics' reviews

"Really great fun, its own Five Doctors in its own way, and pulsating with comedy, ambition, and top to bottom entertainment. Happy birthday, Doctor"

Simon Brew: Den of Geek
"'The Day Of The Doctor' definitely isn’t perfect, but then Doctor Who was never concerned with anything so tiny as perfection."

Alasdair Wilkins: AV Club
"Steven Moffat chooses instead to spend a great proportion of time telling a spirited adventure in the style of the classic Doctor Who that made older fans fall in love with the show in the first place."

IGN
"Doctors past, present and future unite to resolve the Time War – in Steven Moffat's superb, game-changing special, dripping with golden moments (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
