This week we've got a little extra squee for you, as Rachel shares her recap of this year's Indy PopCon event. Give a listen as she spins a yarn with Sparkly John Barrowman, a Lord of the Rings trio, and an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction. We hope you enjoy the recap and will hopefully be back with our usual full show next week!

Whiskey selection: Kaigan Japanese Whiskey, Browne Family Spirits Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Yellow Spot 12 Year Irish Whiskey, and Barrowman's Grand Cru 21 Year Blended Scotch Whisky. Wherein Jon and Judy invite several friends, absent Marlys, to join us in tasting four whiskies (and a fifth for extra credit) with an abundance of chaos, some expletives, glass clinking, and pretzels, occasionally returning to the subject at hand but always having a good time at the beach in Washington State. It may help if you know a bit about libraries, and it will definitely help if you are drinking while you listen ;) It's a long one, so buckle up! We hope that you will enjoy it. We certainly had fun recording it.
Raith Rovers CEO Andrew Barrowman sat down with RaithTV to discuss the latest developments at the club.
This week, Jacki and Lyle discuss the extraordinary interview Baroness Michelle Mone gave alongside her husband, Doug Barrowman, earlier this month on the BBC programme Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg. In a quite remarkable piece of television, Mone revealed that she had, in fact, lied to the press about how she and her family stood to profit to the tune of up to £60 million as a result of PPE contracts negotiated between her husband's company on the government at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Mone had herself recommended Barrowman's company to the government during a period of crisis for PPE provision during the pandemic, and as a member of the House of Lords it has been stated that profiting from this arrangement may well have presented ethical issues that are now being investigated. Barrowman's company is also under investigation due to the poor quality of the PPE provided as a result of the near £200 million contract. Jacki and Lyle discuss just how much this can be considered a PR fiasco, with particular reference to Mone's defence that she believed she had done nothing wrong, her repeated assertions that there was no case to answer, and the notion that she lied about the prospect of profiting from this crisis in order to protect her family. Jacki and Lyle demonstrate how passionate they are about this topic throughout, whilst also praising Kuenssberg for how she conducted the interview itself.Artwork by DimosoMusic by Lyle FultonGet in touch via lyle@dimoso.com or info@dimoso.comMore information at www.dimoso.com and www.therestispr.comFollow us on Twitter - @TheRestIsPR Hosted on Acast.

Episode 45: Shifting Your Mindset with Amy Barrowman In today's episode, CFF's own Amy Barrowman joins us to share her story about her fitness and nutrition journey. Amy comes from a unique fitness background, in that before joining CFF one year ago, Amy competed in the bodybuilding world. It's not often that the two worlds of CrossFit and bodybuilding collide, but in this instance, Amy was determined to make a change in her life. After competing successfully in bodybuilding, and running marathons prior to that, Amy was on the hunt for the next challenge and something she could do for herself when kids came into the picture. Enter in CrossFit FUNCTION. She has been working 1-on-1 with Coach T for the past year, with both training and nutrition. Amy shares her story of the incredible restrictive lifestyle that bodybuilding encompasses. She talks about her training regime at the time, but more importantly, we touch on the demands of the nutritional component and how that scarred her mindset for anything in the future. This isn't a common background story of our CFF members, but it's an interesting mindset that we wanted to share with our listeners. Enjoy this one! If you've experienced this lifestyle yourself, or have any questions, as always, shoot them our way.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 29, 2020 is: asunder • uh-SUN-der • adverb or adjective 1 : into parts 2 : apart from each other Examples: "Though they sip their port in close contiguity, they are poles asunder in their minds and feelings." — Anthony Trollope, The Small House at Allington, 1862 "Anna Andrews is the 'she' in the story…. As an adult, Anna's private life is in tatters, but at least she has a prestigious job as a BBC news anchor. In the space of 48 hours, even that's torn asunder." — Carole E. Barrowman, The Star Tribune (Minneapolis, Minnesota), 31 May 2020 Did you know? Asunder can be traced back to the Old English word sundor, meaning "apart." It is a relative of the verb sunder, which means "to break apart" or "to become parted, disunited, or severed." The "into parts" sense of asunder is often used in the phrase "tear asunder," which can be used both literally and figuratively (as in "a family torn asunder by tragedy"). The "apart from each other" sense can be found in the phrase "poles asunder," used to describe two things that are as vastly far apart as the poles of the Earth.
Episode 28 with Andrew Barrowman. The striker talks about his early career down south including his Premier League debut, his two spells at Ross County winning medals either side of a frustrating year and a half with Caley Thistle.

The Omega booster and Cineroc, simulated in OpenRocket by our guest, Jim Parsons In this episode, we talk with Jim Parsons, who was once described as "the Chuck Norris of OpenRocket." OpenRocket is free model rocket design and simulation software which runs on Java. You can download it here, and play around with it if you've never tried it before. OpenRocket is a great tool - and it's free. But it does have its limitations. If you make a sim of a kit, you might notice that it doesn't look exactly like the kit you're building. One big difference you'll notice is the nose cone. All nose cones in OpenRocket (except for the elliptical ones) come to a sharp point, which isn't the case in most model rockets. Usually nose cones are spherically blunted. Jim Parsons' OpenRocket version of the Estes Der Red Max, with an accurately-shaped nose cone Now, for a flight simulation, this may not matter much. To find the center of pressure, model rocket simulators use what's known as Barrowman equations, a system of mathematically locating the CP on a model rocket. These were derived from the math used in sounding rockets, and were published as an R&D report at Naram X in 196X by James Barrowman. (Click here to see the N00b's interview with James Barrowman at NARCON 2017). One of the simplifying principles of Barrowman equations are the assumption that all nose cones come to a sharp point. But what if you want a simulation that looks like the actual kit? What if you're trying to clone a historic, out of production model? Or you want a good reference for decal placement? Jim has figured out how to trick OpenRocket to simulate accurate looking kits of all kinds. Some are quite challenging, because of features on the model that OR isn't built to re-create. Check out this masterful sim of the Estes QCC Explorer. The intakes on this model were challenging. Read about it here. While most of K'Tesh's sims can be used for flight simulations, due to the limitations of OR, there is the occasional model sim which is mostly just for show. The A.C.M.E. Spitfire, by FlisKits, is one such example. This version of the A.C.M.E. Spitfire is about as close as OR can get. The N00b has used some of Jim's files and images to figure out the decal placement and paint scheme measurements on a number of builds, like his recently-completed Semroc Bandit and Semroc Cherokee D. The N00b's Cherokee D, a Retro-Repro by Semroc Jim joins us from China, where he lives and works. He and the N00b discuss OpenRocket, chat a little about model rocket history, and the challenges of pursuing the hobby while living in China. Check out K'Tesh's master list of sims on The Rocketry Forum by clicking here : https://www.rocketryforum.com/threads/kteshs-openrocket-files-index.148212/

Tuck. Guggenheim announced the novel, titled Arrow: Fatal Legacies, on Twitter on Saturday afternoon after an Amazon listing was spotted. The book will be published by Titan books and will hit shelves on January 30, 2018. The story will help to bridge the gap between the show's fifth and sixth seasons. The synopsis for the novel teases a deeper exploration of Chase's plans on Lian Yu. The untold story bridging between ARROW seasons 5 and 6, exclusive to this novel! In the devastating aftermath of season five, Team Arrow must resume their mission to protect Star City. Those who have survived Chase's trap on Lian Yu discover that his plans did not end there. If his legacies aren't stopped, countless more will die. http://www.cbr.com/arrow-guggenheim-novel/ Matt's Inside Line: Scoop on Arrow, Grey's, Once, Lethal Weapon, Supergirl, The Night Shift, NCIS and More (Date: 09 Aug 2017) Have anything new to share about Arrow‘s Slade sticking around? — It appears Oliver will make good on his offer to his frenemy, in trade for his help against Adrian Chase, seeing as the CW series is currently seeking an Aussie lad to fill the guest-starring role of an “introverted, moody and naturally athletic” teenager. https://tvline.com/2017/08/09/arrow-season-6-spoilers-felicity-slade-son/ ARROW Season 6 May See Jessica De Gouw's Huntress Return; Will She Be Friend Or Foe? (Date: 10 Aug 2017) Speaking to Comic Book Resources, executive producer Marc Guggenheim has this response when asked about De Gouw's potential return. “I want to say, ‘Absolutely [to Huntress returning].' Jessica De Gouw has expressed an absolute willingness to come back. Jessica's a favorite actor of mine, and the Huntress is a favorite character of mine. I want to make it happen in Season 6. We've got some plans for the later half of the year that I think she will fit into really well, so we'll see.” https://www.comicbookmovie.com/tv/dc/arrow/arrow-season-6-may-see-jessica-de-gouws-huntress-return-will-she-be-friend-or-foe-a153187 John Barrowman Addresses Possible Arrowverse Return (Date: 12 Aug 2017) But according to a recent post from Barrowman's Instagram - inspired by our reporting - it appears that he is very willing to return. Barrowman took to Instagram today to address recent comments made by Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow showrunner Marc Guggenheim. As the fan-favorite actor explained, he had been under the impression that there wasn't an opportunity for him to return - until he read our report on Guggenheim's comments. "I am surprised and very happy to hear Marc Guggenheim's comments about Merlyn's future in the Arrowverse," Barrowman explained, "because in a very decisive phone conversation we had with Wendy Mericle, I was led to believe that there were no plans to bring Merlyn back." http://comicbook.com/2017/08/12/arrow-john-barrowman-malcolm-merlyn-dead-return/ Arrow EP Discusses the Possibility of John Barrowman's Return (11 Aug 2017) “That's up to John,” executive producer Marc Guggenheim told reporters during a recent roundtable. “We told John when we called him to tell him about the events of the finale, every single person on all the shows has come back in some shape or form. We've got flashbacks, we've got time travel, we've got parallel universes. Goodbye is never goodbye. He has an open invitation to return to the show any time he wants.” http://comicbook.com/dc/2017/08/11/arrow-merlyn-john-barrowman-return/ Matt's Inside Line: Scoop on Arrow, Grey's, Once, Lethal Weapon, Supergirl, The Night Shift, NCIS and More (Date: 09 Aug 2017) There has been a lot of hinting and build-up to Arrow‘s Felicity starting up her own company, Smoak Tech. Are there plans for this in Season 6? — Co-showrunner Marc Guggenheim explained, “That was something we wanted to do last year, and then we got sort of seduced by the Helix storyline. I would say that people wanting that storyline will be happy, but for reasons that I think will be very obvious, it can't be called Smoak Technologies. And all those clever readers who are like, ‘That's because she'll be changing her last name to Queen,' it's not Queen Technologies, either.” https://tvline.com/2017/08/09/arrow-season-6-spoilers-felicity-slade-son/ Arrow Season 6 Villain Will Be the Biggest Bad Yet, EPs Promise (Date: 07 Aug 2017) At Comic-Con International, Arrow executive producers Wendy Mericle and Marc Guggenheim weighed in which characters are returning, how Oliver's son William will affect the show, and how they plan to bring the first four-episode crossover to the CW this fall. The season's theme is family. Examine being a father and a superhero. They “are just focusing on the elements that worked last year. The gritty crime stories, the grounded tone.” http://www.cbr.com/arrow-season-6-villain/ GENERAL DC TV NEWS Spoiler Room: Scoop on Blindspot, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Grey's Anatomy, and more (Date 10 Aug 2017) Will Kuasa crossing paths with Ray on Vixen be addressed on Legends of Tomorrow? — Ray's knowledge of Kuasa just may help the Legends version of Vixen. EP Marc Guggenheim says, “If you go back and look at Vixen season 2, I wouldn't exactly call her fighting alongside Ray, she's always been morally questionable, but I think that's what makes it interesting as far as Amaya is concerned is that Ray, at the appropriate moment, will accurately tell her that there were moments where Kuasa was capable of selfless good, so I think that gives Amaya a little bit of hope.” http://ew.com/tv/2017/08/10/spoiler-room-blindspot-brooklyn-nine-nine-greys-anatomy/ ‘The Flash' Casts Sugar Lyn Beard as Hazard (EXCLUSIVE) (Date: 09 Aug 2017) Sugar Lyn Beard has been cast as Rebecca Sharpe, aka Hazard, for the fourth season of “The Flash.” The “Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates” star will appear in the third episode of The CW series' upcoming season. Sharpe is described as perpetually down-on her luck and is convinced her life is cursed — until a freak accident changes everything. With the universe on her side, she poses a threat to both Team Flash and Central City. http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/flash-season-4-hazard-sugar-lyn-beard-1202521217/ NEXT EPISODE Link to Promo: (Date: 21 March 2017) https://www.comicbookmovie.com/tv/dc/legends_of_tomorrow/legends-of-tomorrow-come-check-out-the-new-extended-promo-for-season-2-episode-16-doomworld-a149794 Episode: “Doomworld” [Season 2 Episode 16] Air Date: Tuesday, March 28,2017 Summary: The Legion of Doom rewrites history after obtaining the Spear of Destiny, potentially changing the Legends forever.

Earlier in the episode, as Oliver, Slade, and Talia were exploring Lian Yu, the camera panned across the forest floor to reveal a set of skeletal remains wearing a black leather jacket. The body was that of Konstantin Kovar, who wouldn't die at Oliver's hand for about another 20 minutes in the episode.

In it, Law talks to Nick E. Tarabay (Digger Harkness/Captain Boomerang) about her love of donuts, seemingly unaware that John Barrowman (Malcolm Merlyn) is behind her. Barrowman taps Law on the shoulder, sneaks up behind her, and licks her donut. And in traditional Arrow fashion, the video is accompanied by dramatic music and camera movements.

I love playing Malcolm Merlyn, and you know - that's it really. As sad as it may be, I understand how shows must change and also characters must change and develop. But that doesn't mean I'm not very sad and upset about it. I appreciate your support and love you all,” the actor told fans.

Instead, she's expected to appear as a guest star in a handful of episodes, “if the scheduling can be worked out.” Given the revelation that Cat has known Kara's biggest secret for some time, fans will undoubtedly hope schedules do work out, as Kara could surely use some sage advice from her mentor as she faces more challenges.

It is written by , an executive producer alongside Faith Penhale. It has been described by series producer Marcus Wilson as a "love letter to the fans" and by the controller of , , as an "event drama". It was shown on on 23 November 2013, in both 2D and 3D. The special was broadcast simultaneously in 94 countries, and was shown concurrently in 3D in some cinemas. It achieved the for the largest ever simulcast of a TV drama. The episode shows the last day of the , in which a of faces his choice to kill both and his own race of in an act of mass destruction, paralleling this with a present-day choice by paramilitary organisation to destroy rather than allow an alien invasion. It reveals how, contrary to previous plotline understanding, the Doctor followed plea to change his mind at the last instant of the Time War, and hid the war-racked planet Gallifrey in time, rather than destroy it, but due to the distortions of time incurred, had retained no memory of his changed decision. The episode starred as the and as his companion, . Previous lead actors and returned for the episode, Tennant reprising his role as the , while Piper portrayed a sentient doomsday weapon called the Moment, projecting an image based on her character , invisible and inaudible to everyone but the , played by, introduced for the first time in the as an unknown past incarnation of the Doctor. Other appearances included a very brief view of the upcoming, expected to succeed Matt Smith in , and a significant by actor , now in his late 70s and the earliest surviving actor to have played the title role. Rounding out the guest cast, starred as , while returned to portray the in-series daughter of 1970s central figure .The special also featured the return of the , and the , shape-shifting aliens who had previously only appeared in the 1975 serial . Contents [] Mini-episodes See also: and Two mini-episodes written by Steven Moffat, "" and "", were released shortly prior to "The Day of the Doctor". They depict events occurring during the between the Doctor's own race of and his , the . In "The Night of the Doctor", reprised his role as the from the and subsequent audio plays. He is a to the ongoing Time War and intends to rescue a crew member from a crashing spaceship via the . Realising that he is a , 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. They persuade the Doctor to take action to end the Time War, offering him a selection of potions to control his regeneration. He chooses a potion designed to initiate his regeneration into a hitherto unknown of the Doctor as a "warrior" (described in credits as the "" and played by ). "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 surprisingly 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. Plot At , teacher receives a message from the and returns to the , which is unexpectedly to . Kate Stewart of the paramilitary organisation shows the Doctor preserved instructions from previous wife , along with the Under-Gallery, a secret vault of forbidden art housed at the . The vault includes several works of art: moments of time preserved in stasis that take the form of "3-D pictures". One such work, called either No More or Gallifrey Falls, shows the fall of Arcadia on the last day of the Time War, an event believed to have obliterated both the Time Lords and the from the universe. The glass of several of these pictures has been broken from within and figures in the paintings have disappeared. It transpires that the , preserved in stasis in the pictures, are invading, taking the forms of UNIT members. To defeat them, Kate plans to detonate a nuclear warhead in London from within UNIT's "TARDIS-proof" Black Archive of Time Lord and other alien artefacts. The detonation would will wipe out London but save the rest of humanity. In the midst of the Time War, the —a hitherto-unknown "hidden" incarnation of the —watches Gallifrey falling to the Dalek invasion. He decides to trigger an ancient called "the ", a "galaxy eater" which will destroy both races completely. The Moment, however, is sentient and possesses a conscience. Its interface manifests with the form of his future assistant to challenge whether mass killing is his best option and to show him the future personal consequences of his actions. The Moment opens fissures in space and time between these two points in the timeline and Elizabethan England, depositing the Eleventh Doctor and the War Doctor near the and a young Elizabeth I under threat from Zygons, who are using the time period to secret themselves into the stasis of the Time Lord paintings as to invade in the contemporary future. All three Doctors are captured and imprisoned in the , where the Moment encourages the War Doctor to form an escape plan involving calculations which would take "centuries", but which, being begun on the War Doctor's , are therefore now completed on the Eleventh's screwdriver, four hundred years in its future. The Eleventh Doctor, meanwhile, inscribes in stone the code necessary to activate a stored in UNIT's Black Archive. Found by his allies in the present day, it allows Clara to both escape the Zygons and free the Doctors, by travelling into the past. Using the same technique to "travel" to the present via the Time Lord paintings as the Zygons, they gain entry to the Black Archives despite its TARDIS-proof defences. They use the Black Archives' mind-wiping facilities to erase the memories of the humans and Zygons present, causing them to forget who is human and who is Zygon in human form, and forcing them to cancel the detonation and discuss peace. The War Doctor, now convinced that detonating the Moment will allow his future selves to save many more lives, is returned to his time by the Moment. His other two present incarnations appear with the intention of detonating the device alongside him so as to share his burden. Clara, reminding them that he chose the name "Doctor", implores that he seek a different solution. The three Doctors finally think of an alternative solution, to put the planet Gallifrey in stasis in a moment of time, leaving the Daleks surrounding the planet to be obliterated by their own firepower; to the rest of the universe it would still appear that both sides wiped each other out. The three work with the consent of the desperate Time Lords and summon all of the Doctor's other past incarnations – as well as – to successfully execute this plan. The three Doctors and Clara return to the Gallery, unsure whether it is possible to return Gallifrey from stasis. The War Doctor is content to think that he failed in doing the right thing, rather than succeeding in doing the wrong thing. He realises that neither he nor the Tenth Doctor will remember what happened, and will continue shouldering the guilt for centuries. After departing, the aged War Doctor finds himself beginning to within his TARDIS. The Tenth Doctor also leaves, having persuaded his successor to tell him about his impending death on the planet . The Eleventh Doctor, now alone in the Gallery, is joined by its mysterious curator, who appears to resemble an aged version of the. The Curator enigmatically suggests that he might be a future incarnation of the Doctor, as well as commenting that the painting's actual name is neither No More nor Gallifrey Falls, but Gallifrey Falls No More. The Doctor surmises that his plan to save Gallifrey was successful. In closing, the Doctor describes a recurring dream, in which he and his eleven previous incarnations are looking together upon Gallifrey. The Doctor vows to find and restore Gallifrey. Continuity As the show's 50th anniversary special, the episode contains multiple references to previous episodes. It opens with the title sequence and theme arrangement used at the series' debut in 1963. Echoing the opening of the very first story, , a policeman is shown walking past the sign for I.M. Foreman, the scrap merchant in whose yard the TARDIS was located, and its first few seconds are in monochrome (as had been the case in , the last time more than one Doctor had featured in an official story)., where the Doctor's granddaughter went when they were on Earth in 1963, also featured in both the original story and the 1988 serial . According to the school sign, the chairman of the school governors is now , formerly one of the First Doctor's original three companions and a science teacher at the school, and the headmaster is W. Coburn, a reference to and ,[] who respectively directed and wrote An Unearthly Child. Clara rides out of Coal Hill School on the Eleventh Doctor's anti-gravity motorcycle from "" at 5:16, the time An Unearthly Child originally aired on television (the first broadcast began 1 minute 20 seconds after its scheduled time of 5:15 on 23 November 1963.). The same date and time were also reflected in the activation code of the vortex manipulator, 1716231163 (signifying 17:16 23/11/1963). When the TARDIS is picked up by , the call sign used by the helicopter to refer to UNIT is 'Greyhound leader', reflecting that of,[] whose daughter Kate is now portrayed as having his role as commander of UNIT. Lethbridge-Stewart was a central character in the 's era and also several of his successors', originally appearing in the serial and making his last appearance in Doctor Who in serial , which is also referenced. An image of the Brigadier is seen alongside images of various companions of the Doctor. Kate's assistant, Osgood, is also a name from that era (UNIT technician Osgood from ) and her scarf is very similar to that worn by the Fourth Doctor; the Eleventh Doctor remarks that it is a "nice scarf". Osgood also uses it to trip up her Zygon duplicate who was standing on it, a nod to the Fourth Doctor's actions against a thug in his first story Robot. Kate Stewart twice mentions her subordinate, Malcolm, presumably the same UNIT scientist named Malcolm played by in "".[] The controversy, regarding whether the era stories took place in the 1970s or 1980s, is referenced in dialogue by Kate Stewart, when she mentions that events occurred in "the '70s or '80s depending on the dating protocol used". The Tenth Doctor's era is also heavily referenced, elaborating on his marriage to Queen Elizabeth I originally mentioned in his final story, and first referred to in "". It is implied that he deserted her shortly after the wedding as part of his (fruitless) attempt to flee his impending death, hence her fury at him when she finds him at the Globe Theatre;[]at that time he had no idea why she was so angry, since the events of "The Shakespeare Code" occur much earlier than those of "The Day of the Doctor". The Tenth Doctor's speech to a rabbit whom he believes to be a Zygon is partially taken from the Christmas special, "". The Tenth Doctor mentioned the Fall of Arcadia in "". When he leaves after learning of Trenzalore, the Tenth Doctor remarks, "I don't want to go...", his incarnation's final words from The End of Time; the Eleventh Doctor tells Clara that "he always says that" after his TARDIS leaves. The Eleventh Doctor's fixation with – a linking item in this story – begins in "" and reappears in "", "", and "". The Moment device was originally mentioned in The End of Time, but had not been explored in depth. Here, it takes the form of "", a seemingly omnipotent being and personalisation of the itself, which manifested in when she absorbed the Time Vortex in the finale, "". Other references come heavily from the previous multi-Doctor anniversary stories, The Three Doctors and The Five Doctors. The Eleventh Doctor's dismissal of the Tenth Doctor and War Doctor as "the sandshoes and grandad" to mock their respective trainers and age echo the First Doctor's description of his two successors in The Three Doctors as "a dandy and a clown"[]. Likewise, a Time Lord says, "I didn't know when I was well-off! All twelve of them!" which recalls the Brigadier's line from The Three Doctors: "Three of them, eh? I didn't know when I was well off." More of the Brigadier's dialogue from the latter serial is referenced when Kate asks for an incident report code-named "Cromer"; in the earlier story, upon being transported to another universe, the Brigadier initially believes himself to be near the coastal Norfolk town. A line from the First Doctor, this time from The Five Doctors, is also referenced near the end as the Tenth Doctor tells the Eleventh, "It's good to know my future is in safe hands" (which the First told the Fifth in the earlier story, appended by "after all"). In trying to compensate for the presence of three Doctors who utilise different console rooms, the Tenth Doctor's TARDIS console briefly changes to the War Doctor's console room, seen again later in the episode, before settling on the Eleventh's; according to the script, the fact that all three are together has knocked their time streams out of sync and the TARDIS is reacting to that.[] The Tenth Doctor comments upon the Eleventh Doctor's TARDIS console, "Oh you've redecorated! I don't like it", a line originally used by the speaking to the Third in and later reused by the Second and Eleventh Doctors respectively in and "". There were plenty of other script references to both the recent and classic history of the programme. When the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors aim their at troops in 1560, the War Doctor asks if they plan to "...assemble a cabinet at them?", a line used by when the Eleventh Doctor points his screwdriver at in a fight scene of "". The white roundels in the wall of the War Doctor's TARDIS were featured in the classic series' original TARDIS console rooms from 1963 to 1989 before being removed for the more elaborate TARDIS console used by the Seventh and Eighth Doctors in the TV movie. Seeing the white roundels, both the Tenth and Eleventh Doctor are pleased, but are uncertain as to what they are for. The final scene in the Gallery, containing 's as the curator, somewhat, as he enigmatically talks to the watching audience and Eleventh Doctor in a short upon the Doctor's past and future activities, ultimately (in the context of the episode) deterring questions about his apparent knowledge with the comment, '"Who" Knows?'. Cast as the . as the . Excluding flashbacks and archived footage, Tennant had not appeared in Doctor Who since his final regular appearance as the Doctor in the concluding scenes of , broadcast on 1 January 2010. as companion . The special was the first time the actress was credited on the show simply as Jenna Coleman, dropping the Louise part of her name seen in previous episodes. as the Moment Interface, a Gallifreyan super weapon. While credited as , Billie Piper was instead portraying the projection of the Moment's user interface which had taken the form of the Doctor's then-future companion.[] Piper has not portrayed Rose as a series regular since "", although she reprised her role in various episodes of the fourth series and appeared briefly in The End of Time. as the , the Doctor's warrior-like forgotten incarnation.

All are credited as "the Doctor" alongside Smith, Tennant and Hurt in the episode's closing credits. John Guilor provided voice acting for the First Doctor, though he was credited as "Voice Over Artist". makes an uncredited cameo appearance as the , prior to taking over the lead role from Smith in the 2013 Christmas Special, titled "". Casting Both David Tennant and Billie Piper returned to appear in the 50th anniversary special On 30 March 2013, a distribution error occurred, and many subscribers to received the issue five days before the official release date. The issue of the magazine included the official announcement that and , who previously played the and in Doctor Who respectively, were lined up to appear in the special, along with actor . Moffat did not want to bring Rose the character back because he felt her story was wrapped up and did not feel comfortable adding to Davies' arc. However, he liked the concept of bringing back her Bad Wolf persona and felt that Piper needed to be in the special as she symbolised the rebirth of Doctor Who. John Hurt did not actually audition for the part, but had been asked by the production team and "said yes with remarkable speed".His costume was meant to signify that he was "rougher, tougher", and had been around for a while; the audience had missed a lot. Hurt's request to keep his beard adds to this effect, and makes him the first bearded Doctor. discussed plans for the anniversary episode with Moffat, but eventually declined to return as the ., who played the , claimed that none of the surviving actors who portrayed the Doctor prior to Eccleston were contacted regarding the special. confirmed this while being interviewed on Australian television alongside McCoy and . However, McGann went on to say that he could still be in the 50th but at the last moment. reported rumours that a Doctor from the classic era would feature in the special, citing unknown sources. and, who played Tenth Doctor companions and , respectively, both stated they would not be in the 50th, but may return to the show at some point. Barrowman stated that he would have liked to be in it, but speculated that the producers wanted to try some different things. Production Publicity Steven Moffat previously stated, "Most things that have been said about the 50th are not true... Normally I am responsible for the disinformation and the rubbish rumors—I usually put them out myself, but I haven't needed to for this one." On the importance of the episode, Moffat has stated that it will "change the narrative" of Doctor Who. "", an additional 7-minute special, was released on 14 November 2013, and featured the ()'s regeneration into the (). Another 4 minute special, entitled "", was released on 20 November 2013 and saw the start of the Fall of Arcadia. On 4 November 2013, the BBC released the official synopsis: "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." On 22 November 2013, stated on "I can say something about my character; it's not Rose as we know her" to about the episode.[] Writing "The Day of the Doctor" was written by , current head writer of Doctor Who, and produced by Faith Penhale in , with directing. Moffat began writing the script for "The Day of the Doctor" in late 2012, announcing that, as a security precaution, he had not produced any copies, instead keeping it on his computer "under lock and key" until it was needed. Moffat had often thought about featuring a "mayfly Doctor" who appears for a single episode, asking, "Would it be weird in the run of the series to have the 45th Doctor turn up and be played by or someone? Would that be a cool thing to do?" He also indicated that the "classic Doctor" he would most like to feature in a new story was 's , stating, "You'd want him to come and say 'What in the name of God have I turned into?' That's the confrontation that you most want to see, to celebrate 50 years. Going round and round in circles on it I just thought, 'What about a Doctor that he never talks about?' And what if it is a Doctor who's done something terrible, who's much deadlier and more serious, who represents that thing that is the undertow in both David and Matt. You know there's a terrible old man inside them. Well, here he is, facing the children he becomes, as it were." Knowing that Matt Smith was planning to leave, Moffat wrote the special specifically with the brief appearance of the during the sequence of all of the Doctors uniting to save Gallifrey, prior to casting anyone in the role. Moffat later stated of the 50th episode, that it was his "plan from the start" that all the Doctors would fly in to save Gallifrey, and he knew there would be a new one at that time. He wrote it before knowing who would be cast. Typically, Doctor Who's anniversary stories are named after the number of returning Doctors, as with and . Moffat explained his choice of title to SFX magazine, commenting that "... it's very rare in Doctor Who that the story happens to the Doctor. It happens to people around him, and he helps out – he's the hero figure who rides in and saves everybody from the story of the week. He is not the story of the week. In this, he is the story of the week. This is the day of the Doctor. This is his most important day. His most important moment. This is the one he'll remember, whereas I often think the Doctor wanders back to his TARDIS and forgets all about it."

Contents [] [] Plot summary Rex (Phifer) and Esther (Havins) have joined Torchwood out of necessity. The team successfully acquire the phone from CIA director Friedkin (), through which Friedkin received mysterious orders to exterminate Torchwood. The team follow leads and uncover a stockpile of painkillers at the pharmaceutical corporation PhiCorp, indicating they knew the Miracle was going to happen. At a loose end, Jack (Barrowman) takes the night off and picks up a man in a bar, and Rex seeks solace in his surgeon, Vera Juarez (). Juarez tells Rex that PhiCorp representative Jilly Kitzinger () has invited her along to an important meeting tomorrow; Rex recruits Juarez to listen in for Torchwood, while Gwen goes on mission with the special and steals information from Kitzinger's computer. The meeting turns out to be a seminar, where Congressman Morganthall announces plans to make painkillers legal to purchase without prescription. At Torchwood HQ, Rex and Esther receive a mysterious phonecall from Friedkin's anonymous superiors and figuring their base has been compromised, realise that Torchwood must now leave D.C. Released murderer Oswald Danes () struggles to fit in the real world, and after being assaulted by police officers accepts Kitzinger's earlier offer of representation. He attends a select board meeting at PhiCorp. PhiCorp award him personal security on the condition he promotes their new painkiller legislation on national television to his growing following. Suspicious of Danes, Jack confronts him at the TV station. Jack gets Danes to admit that he does not feel forgiveness, but also that he enjoyed the rape and murder of his 12-year-old victim; Jack realises from this speech that Danes has a deathwish that is being denied him. Danes' security assaults Jack and releases him onto the streets just as Danes tells the world about the need for PhiCorp's painkiller legislation. [] Sex scene censorship controversy "Dead of Night" features a concurrent gay and straight sex scenes; the straight sex scene features Rex and Vera (Mekhi Phifer and Arlene Tur), and the gay scene features John Barrowman and guest actor , playing bartender Brad. Gay mens' website enthusiastically reported on Casey's casting in March; the casting side for Brad, released in December 2010, had assuaged fears that Jack would be "de-gayed" by American network Starz. Barrowman later told reporters that the gay sex scene the series would feature would be more explicit than previous shots of its kind in Torchwood, because Starz as a US premium cable network allowed the show to "push the envelope a little bit more". For airings in the UK, the BBC (a public broadcast network) edited the scene because it was deemed inappropriate for the primetime slot. However, a BBC spokesperson stated that the edit would not affect the story in any way. Barrowman however, responded by saying that sex scenes in the show were not gratuitous did form a part of the plot. This section requires . [] Reception 's Zack Handlen awarded "Dead of Night" a B- rating. He felt that the episode did not have any truly tense scenes compared to previous episode "Rendition". While he celebrated that the "two-fer sex scene" was unusual for mainstream science fiction, Handlen felt it "didn't make for gripping television", and felt Jack's hook-up was at least more believable than the prospect of a Rex/Vera romance. Though he gave the episode a relatively high rating, and was optimistic for Miracle Day as a series, Handlen's concluding paragraph stated "an episode like this isn't a good sign". reviewer Todd VanDerWerff wrote "With every week it's on the air, Torchwood: Miracle Day continues to expand its scope"; his reviewer was largely positive but marked with criticisms. He felt "the episode's mid-section was where it was flabiest", referring to Gwen's contact with Rhys and the lovemaking scenes. Like Handlen, he remarked on the believability of the Rex/Vera pairing, saying "It made sense for later in the episode that Rex and Vera had hooked up (since it gave her stronger motivation to work with Torchwood), but in the moment, it seemed ludicrously convenient." Like Handlen, VanDerWerff didn't find the American public's reaction to Danes believable either. However, his summary said "All in all, this was a "putting the pieces in place" kind of episode, and though some of the pieces were moved quite inelegantly -– again, the Rex and Vera hook-up -– much of whether this episode stands out as the start of a decline or a brief hiccup will be determined by where the pieces go from here."
