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.

November 23rd, 2013 - 10:27pmFor myself personally it wasn’t as good as I was expecting it to be. There were parts that were good and other parts that didn’t meet expectation. I preferred the classic Zygons to the modern take on the monsters personally. I loved Tom Baker’s involvement and John Hurt was a likeable Doctor.

November 23rd, 2013 - 10:26pmYeah… but… how did they avoid the time lock?
never blinking
November 23rd, 2013 - 10:23pmmaybe after or during finding his home again and completing all his journeys, he’ll somehow receive the genes of the other, will have infinite regeneration but will decide to stay in 4th doctor’s shape and will become a curator on earth with his family:))

November 23rd, 2013 - 10:22pmSo… That was really good, but I’m a little bit confused about John Hurt’s doctor. The way that they talked about him in the show made it sound like he WAS the 9th Doctor. And now there’s 13 doctors (with no. 12), so… Is he the Doctor, or is he like doctor 8.5 or something? Because they didn’t count the watcher as a doctor, (4.5) or the Valeyard, (12.5) so if John Hurt is being counted as the doctor, shouldn’t there be 15 doctors? Well who knows, in my eyes there’s 11 main Doctors, and the 3 half doctors.
Well I think this comment is way too long, so thank you Steven Moffat for the 50th, and the rest of the BBC of course, Happy 50th anniversary everyone and I wish you all a very good night! 🙂

November 23rd, 2013 - 10:22pmI’m colossally confused. I’ve seen every Dr. Who episode possible to see, and this special just ripped holes in the reality of Doctor Who. I won’t say it was bad, if you don’t know a lot about the series I guess it would seem pretty awesome, but it just didn’t make sense. It more of less destroys past story line, making it irreverent, or even worse, non-existent. Lets just hope the Christmas Special redeems it.
Don’t worry Doctor Who, I will still follow you through all time and space, I’m just a little perplexed.

November 23rd, 2013 - 10:22pmI loved the 13 TARDISes, swarming like anti-Daleks, showing that millions of Daleks are no match for 13 shades of TARDIS blue!

November 23rd, 2013 - 10:19pmJust been down to Eastbourne to see it in 3D, what a fantastic atmosphere and story. It has given a new stimulus to the legend with many new stories to be had, what a great opportunity for the new Dr. to come..

November 23rd, 2013 - 10:18pmby the way, i went to the cinema and the christmas trailer wasn’t shown

November 23rd, 2013 - 10:17pmthe only question i have is how the 4th doctor is there even though he regenerated from that body to the next a long time ago(for the curator doctor). Apart from that i loved it

November 23rd, 2013 - 10:15pmIs it just me, or were those closing credits theme awesome!
Also, booboo, could you post the Christmas trailer up please?
The Big Friendly Button
November 23rd, 2013 - 10:13pmThat. Was. Amazing. I have so many questions. But the one thing I enjoyed the most was the daleks having killed themselves via friendly fire.
Australia calling
November 23rd, 2013 - 10:05pmReally really enjoyable…and he is going home…the long way round.
Don’t know if I ever want to see an end..!!
never blinking
November 23rd, 2013 - 10:04pmEvrything was perfect(if we don’t start to think about millions of chaoses created in one episode only) but Clara’s comment about the doctor’s phases as”universe is full of warriors and any ordinary man can become a hero…” was like undervalueing the 10th doctor or i’m being sinister, i don’t know.

November 23rd, 2013 - 10:01pmBut I don’t understand the order of events? Did the End of Time happen before this? And when was the No More painting taken?

November 23rd, 2013 - 9:58pmI don’t think Gallifrey is back as such but it is somewhere now the Doctor has to find it which will probably be a long but interesting story arc for the 13th Doctor (Peter Capaldi I mean because I guess that’s what we have to call him now)

November 23rd, 2013 - 9:56pmgreat best episode ever
Liason Ice
November 23rd, 2013 - 9:56pmHaha same, I nearly fell off my chair when Peter Capaldi came on screen

November 23rd, 2013 - 9:53pmI really enjoyed it, loved all the links with the past, a real treat.
Doctor Stu
November 23rd, 2013 - 9:53pmAbsolutely loved it but I thought the time war was time locked that’s why Dalek Caan went mad. Also how did Clara get out of the time stream from the end of series 7? Christmas preview was just…..oh my god….just no…. My mind was blown….
Cbc
November 23rd, 2013 - 9:51pmLoved it. 3d was very good too. Being able to actually see that the paintings were bigger on the inside was fantastic.
Gatekeeper
November 23rd, 2013 - 9:48pmOMG! Straight from the start i was hooked! I loved the way Clara is a teacher at the same school Susan originally went to, I can’t really put into words how blown away i am and from the look of it im not the only one!
Tom Baker said her wasn’t taking part (you little liar! lol) nice to see an aged 4th even if for a cameo.
Steven Moffat you genius! 😀

November 23rd, 2013 - 9:46pmBest episode ever!
Tardis’nt
November 23rd, 2013 - 9:46pmyou mean the 13th!
Darklings
November 23rd, 2013 - 9:44pmIf you recall, the Timelords didn’t know that the doctor wasn’t going to destroy them. So they could’ve taken preemptive measures to ensure their survival. Then when they were pushed back, Gallifrey just vanished like it did in the episode.

DALEKSKITTLES
November 23rd, 2013 - 9:41pmSo a dalek falls through time and space burning and falls to earth only slightly damaged in 2005 but NOW a dalek gets bumped by a tardis or pushed over by a sonic screwdriver they fall apart and die!!!? That’s one thing that really annoyed me during that! And there has still been no development on the NEW DALEKS!!!!!! If they don’t appear on the christmas special cos clearly there are daleks in it but they were time war daleks in the advert, I might just give up on the daleks I say just leave the time war daleks now let the 50th be there last episode and just let the new better awesome daleks take over, if not, cybermen are becoming my new favorite they could Probaly take a knock from a tardis or a push from a sonic screwdriver!!!………over than that it was ok
