What Did You Think of The Time of the Doctor?
What Did You Think of The Time of the Doctor?
Orbiting a quiet backwater planet, the massed forces of the universe’s deadliest species gather, drawn to a mysterious message that echoes out to the stars – and amongst them, the Doctor.
Rescuing Clara from a family Christmas dinner, the Time Lord and his best friend must learn what this enigmatic signal means for his own fate and that of the universe.

December 25th, 2013 - 9:00pmSo one line and one face has put you of dr who that is a bit siily

December 25th, 2013 - 8:58pmWe’ll probably see the Time Lords in the series 8 finale no doubt. I think – and everyone else obviously – was that the teary speech Matt Smith gave just before his regeneration was not only the 11th (or 13th?) saying farewell but it was actually Matt Smith saying farewell too.

December 25th, 2013 - 8:57pmYes, I think it will forever be known as ‘The Marmite Special’ for me now!
12 doctors

December 25th, 2013 - 8:56pmI think as fans we should all welcome capaldi into the doctor who family you never know capaldi might come across some of these comments and find tome of them hurtful so we should not judge home he has only had one line and just remember no one expected Matt to be a good doctor and look at Him now he iOS one of the best doctors ever

December 25th, 2013 - 8:53pmWHAT AN EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING EPISODE!!!!
The Big Friendly Button
December 25th, 2013 - 8:52pmBut you have only seen 30 seconds of him.

December 25th, 2013 - 8:52pmIf there was one word to sum up tonight’s episode, I think it would be marmite!
Some seemed to love it, and others hated it.
The opinion on Capaldi seems to be the same, but I don’t think we can really give a proper view until he’s had a full episode.
Anyway, I hope you had a good Christmas, and here’s to another great year on The Doctor Who Site!

December 25th, 2013 - 8:51pmHis final words were “I will always remember when the doctor was me”

December 25th, 2013 - 8:51pmFor me, the great thing was not just the finale butnthe fact that there is so much more now to be imagined up by fans now about what happened in the battle of Trenzalore. Peter is going to be great and Matt Smith was fantastic until the end of his reign.
One question…
Do you know how to fly this thing.

December 25th, 2013 - 8:51pmAgreed, it was awful especially when compared to Tennant’s exit. Disjointed in the extreme.

December 25th, 2013 - 8:50pmIt was a good story. But i was disapointed about the regeneration scene very low key not like the others explosive. we will just have to wait tilll his 1st story to find out how he is going to play it.

December 25th, 2013 - 8:50pmIt’s just a shame I’m struggling to enjoy Peter Capaldi’s AMAZING first sequence because I’m still reeling from such a sad farewell

December 25th, 2013 - 8:48pmI am crying the hardest I have ever cried- and there’s so many reasons! Farewell Matt Smith- you were my doctor.

December 25th, 2013 - 8:48pmI agree about the regeneration mate! Also, I think it could at least of shown some of the Time Lords!!!
the ergon
December 25th, 2013 - 8:48pmGive peter a chance. Were all still upset because we knew it was matts final story and I think he did his regeneration farewell speech with aplomb. hes going to take some beating I know, but in time we may come to feel the same way about peter as we did with matt. remember a lot were unsure about him after tenant and he surpassed himself. I also predicted amy turning up. It seemed appropriate for his swansong.

December 25th, 2013 - 8:47pmOh dear. Moffat’s xmas specials have been consistently poor and this was no exception. It was like they were trying to squeeze in every alien going just to look impressive. A pity they didn’t squeeze in a decent story.
Doctor of Lord
December 25th, 2013 - 8:45pmI would give the episode a 4/5 because I still think that there should’ve been a few more things wrapped up. But I had a tear running down my face when I saw Amy. However, it was runied by a quick regeneration and not enough shown by Peter Capaldi, but we’ll have to wait until late August/ early September. :,(

December 25th, 2013 - 8:44pmI cant believe I’m saying this, as Matt Smith has been amazing, but tonight’s episode was if I’m honest terrible.
