What Did You Think of The Day of the Doctor?
The Doctors embark on their greatest adventure in this 50th anniversary special.
In 2013, something terrible is awakening in London’s National Gallery; in 1562, a murderous plot is afoot in Elizabethan England; and somewhere in space an ancient battle reaches its devastating conclusion. All of reality is at stake as the Doctor’s own dangerous past comes back to haunt him.

The TARDIS
January 4th, 2014 - 3:34pmMy final judgement after several (hundred) rewatchings (if that is even a word. Well, it is now. Here’s to rewatchings.)
A brilliant episode, very enjoyable and funny. It was good fun to watch, and John Hurt stole the show for me. It would have been a fantastic normal episode, or series finale. It would have been an amazing new series anniversary episode. However, as the 50th anniversary episode, I found it a bit lacking.

December 22nd, 2013 - 8:04pmJust to show you how big it was in the states, that one night of 3D entertainment in the cinema’s garnered more money than the whole “Oz the Great and Powerful” in the theaters. See, we love the Doctor across the pond just as much!

DOCTOR WHO ONE
December 6th, 2013 - 3:25pmJohn Hurt did start to regenerate into Christopher Eccleston, but off course, the whole regeneration was not shown.

December 4th, 2013 - 4:30pmWhat’s all this nonsense about Hurt-Capaldi? I thought that it was clearly Mr. Eccleston at the end of the episode. The ears even flapped out!

December 4th, 2013 - 4:27pmThat Dalek was part of the painting, and so removing it from the painting destroyed it as it wasn’t a real Dalek.

December 4th, 2013 - 4:17pmLook no further than two lines spoken by Time Lords, one from each story. In DotD we are told “The High Council is in session” whilst during the meeting being discussed, in TEoT, we are told “The Doctor has the moment” which is discovered by the Time Lords in DotD, who are discussing about “The High Council is in session”, etc.

December 3rd, 2013 - 9:43pmYou only need to pay attention to it being explained or await the answer in a future episode (there usually is one – in season finales usually)
List me your “Plot holes and inconsistencies” and I will give you the answers or whether it will be explained.

December 3rd, 2013 - 8:52pmMy husband and I agree with you, that it would have been much better if RTD had worked on it with Moff. We think that the episode was only okay. Not even witty dialogue could distract us from the plot holes and inconsistencies that were all over the place (and in fact, have been all over the place ever since Moff took over). We could go on and on about this at length, but have more productive things to do with our time…
DOCTOR WHO ONE
December 3rd, 2013 - 10:02amGood news written in TV Biz from the Sun Newspaper –
Doctor Who’s 50th Anniversary episode is the most watched drama of 2013 – with 12.8 million viewers having watched it to date.
A peak audience of 10.2 million watched The Day of the Doctor one-off special, with the remainder watching later on TV catch-up services.
It was also the most requested show ever over 24 hours on BBC’s iPlayer. It pulled in 1.27 million requests in a day, with another 2.9 million views since. The episode was also shown in 834 cinemas in 94 countries.
DOCTOR WHO – now and forever . . ALWAYS !! 😀

December 2nd, 2013 - 9:47pmExactly. The team worked their socks off to fit those in, so be grateful.

December 2nd, 2013 - 9:17pmHaving the original title sequence was pure genius and was amazing to see on the big screen. There were *tons* of classic references, see my post a little below this!

December 2nd, 2013 - 4:29pmWhat about Silver Nemesis?
And general 7th Doctor period?
And Ian asked it in an Unearthly Child
But I agree it still wasn’t needed in this!

December 2nd, 2013 - 12:32pmIf Tennant-Tennant counts then so might healing River in TATM.

December 1st, 2013 - 10:45pmSome still say 14 due to the fact Tennants Doctor had two regenerations….he used a regen after being shot by the Dalek…. To honest I don’t count that (as it was a repair) so to me it’s 13 Doctors.

November 29th, 2013 - 6:39pmThank you tardismike. I know about the films but not the fact that he was considered for the role on television. Now I’m impressed that the drama managed to get facts so complete. All I have now is a slight gaff which happened when Matt Smith turned up. However, I’m still chuffed that the drama was ever made.
tardismike
November 29th, 2013 - 6:09pmYes you are totally correct. He was definately considered for the role but got his chance in the films.

November 29th, 2013 - 4:45pmSorry about this but it’s in reference to “An Adventure in…” I may be mistaken but at about 15 minutes in while Jeffe Rawle is looking for possible Doctors, I’m sure I spotted Peter Cushing’s photo underneath a photo of Cyril Cusak. (top of screen), please someone put me of my misery and say if I’m imagining things or not.

November 28th, 2013 - 9:40pmAmazing work there! Does she do poems often? Because that was really good!

November 27th, 2013 - 5:07pmTrue, it would’ve been trickier. But even if the Doctor looked through the window the Moment opened and we saw a snippet of an adventure from the classic for each Doctor, or their most iconic moment. I know it was to show his future, but they easily could’ve formed something around that I think. Agreed about the Moffat storyline though!

November 27th, 2013 - 4:28pmwow, that was good
McGann is the Doctor
November 27th, 2013 - 9:44amThe Daleks and Timelords probably should have had more of a presence so the audience would be more inclined against the Daleks, but what we got was amazing.
Classic references? I don’t recall many of those, I would have preferred to have Paul McGann and David Bradley in there as the First and Eighth Doctors
and an awesome title sequence instead of just taking an old one :p
McGann is the Doctor
November 27th, 2013 - 9:42amyou mean “THINK HOW BAD THAT EPISODE WOULD OF BEEN”
