Silver Nemesis is a story we've featured a lot on the Power of 3 over the last few months. We've talked to its writer Kevin Clarke, Cyberleader David Banks, and discussed some of the new features to accompany it. Now, we speak with James Cooray Smith, who's written a Black Archive entry on it, giving insightful analysis of what we got to see in Doctor Who's 25th anniversary story. You can order a copy of it here - https://obversebooks.co.uk/product/75-silver-nemesis/
If you like being made to think about your Doctor Who viewing, the chances are you'll be more than aware of the Black Archive series. Launched by Obverse Books in March 2016, the Black Archive sees writers tackle a Doctor Who story, analyse and dissect it, and give their own take on it. We speak with Stuart Douglas, the range publisher, about how it came to be, and their latest book, which examines A Christmas Carol. He also explains about their charity release, The Six Doctors.

Here on Doctor Who Literature we take a brief scheduled break from the novelizations. It's still May 1986, and not only did we get the Doctor Who novelization of Timelash, but now we get the debut of the short-lived Companions of Doctor Who line. First up, Turlough and the Earthlink Dilemma. Which doubles as the first original Doctor Who novel. Many more would follow. Joining me to break this one down is Doctor Who novelist Dale Smith. We'll also discuss Dale's recent Black Archive volume on The Greatest Show in the Galaxy. If you enjoyed this episode, please follow, subscribe, and rate us!

It's Christmas here at Into the Black Archive so we're continuing our trip down memory lane looking at some of the past Christmas episodes of Doctor Who. When the Tardis crashes into the Titanic (no not that one) the 10th Doctor (David Tennant) quickly has to try to workout what is going on before the ship crashed. Helped along the way by a small team of people including Astrid (Kylie Minogue). Join us as we discuss the interesting dynamic between Astrid and the Doctor. As we try and workout who is behind the 'Host' and try to get to the bottom of Owen's complete inability to correctly remember or pronounce anything in this episode. Next week we'll be taking a look at this years Doctor Who Christmas Special, 'The Church on Ruby Road' staring the brand new 15th Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and friend Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson). Join James and Owen as they take a deep dive into Doctor Who's past, starting from the very beginning. Cheap sets, grumpy old men, unhealthily dedicated teachers, and so much more lie in wait. So, join us as we go deep Into The Black Archive every Monday at 8PM!

As if the alien Vulpreen weren't enough, what remains of UNIT faces another formidable adversary. The mercurial Time Lord Missy is on the side of the Vulpreen, helping and encouraging them in their ambition to become the rulers not just of Earth, but of all Space and Time. 4.1 One Way or Another by John Dorney Kate leads an attack on a Vulpreen prison camp, unaware that UNIT friends are being held there. As paths converge, Kate and Osgood have different perspectives on the attack, and specific dangers to overcome. 4.2 Traitors' Gate by Sarah Grochala Osgood is a prisoner in the Tower of London, which is now a Vulpreen base. To rescue her friend, Kate must devise a plan to raid her former headquarters. Inside the Tower, the Vulpreen are determined to access the Black Archive and the hugely dangerous alien technology it contains. How long can Osgood keep them out? 4.3 The Destiny Labyrinth by Alison Winter The UNIT team find themselves traveling through various epochs in Earth's history. The only guide they have is working for the enemy, and the Vulpreen are hot on their heels. Help comes from a new friend, a young healer who already has a curious relationship with time. 4.4 True Nemesis by Andrew Smith Under Missy's guiding hand, the Vulpreen are ready to strike out, to establish themselves as the new Masters of Time. UNIT's confrontation with Missy in the depths of Portugal's Douro Valley will decide the fate of not just the Earth but the whole Universe.

Building A Black Archive (BABA) is a community archive that unearths and documents Contemporary Black Canadian Histories & Experiences as well as histories and experiences within the African Diaspora. BABA's work includes workshops, speaking engagements, community archival work, consultations and an annual artist residency program for Black artists. BABA was started in 2019 by Alannah Johnson and Jonsaba Jabbi who were connected through a mutual friend and shared many similarities unbeknownst to them. BABA exists in an interesting space in the sense that we are not an institutional archive but we also don't exist within the traditional community archives frame. The best way to describe the type of archiving we do is through the practice of alternative archives using oral histories, memory work and new media technologies as a way to make our archives accessible to members of the Black community. Since 2019, BABA has hosted three artist residencies which over 15 artists have attended. They have given over 20 workshops and talks on community archives and Black Canadian Cultural Production through Canadian Hip Hop to academic institutions, galleries and others. The themes of the residencies have included: Hip Hop and the Black Experience in Ontario 1980-2010, Mapping Black Geographies in Canada and Archiving Every Day Black Life. Recently, Jonsaba Jabbi and Alannah Johnson of Building A Black Archive (BABA) were on our show. During our conversation, Jonsaba and Alannah talked about: – Jonsaba and Alannah share a little about themselves – Their experience with Black Canadian history before starting BABA – Their first meeting – The start of BABA – The story behind the name of the organization – BABA's first big win – BABA's first event – Some of BABA's projects so far – BABA's artist residency – Some obstacles/roadblocks in their journey and what they have learned – BABA celebration of the 50th anniversary of hip hop – What are they excited about – How can we help them – Have they approached educational institutions? – Suggestions on helping Black youth You can find out more about Building A Black Archive (BABA) via: Instagram Facebook Email Visit The Dr. Vibe Show™ at https://www.thedrvibeshow.com/ Please feel free to email us at dr.vibe@thedrvibeshow.com Subscribe to The Dr. Vibe Show™ YouTube channel here Please feel free to “Like” the “The Dr. Vibe Show” Facebook Fan Page here God bless, peace, be well and keep the faith, Dr. Vibe 2020 Podcast News Award Winner – Canadian Ethnic Media Association 2018 Innovation Award Winner – Canadian Ethnic Media Association The Dr. Vibe Show™ At “The Good Men Project” One of the first Brand Ambassador's – Cuisine Noir Magazine Dr. Vibe – Producer And Co-host of Black Men Talking On WJMS Radio Dr. Vibe on HuffPost Live – August 2, 2013 2013 Black Weblog Awards Finalist (Best Podcast) 2012 Black Weblog Awards Winner (Best International Blog) 2012 Black Weblog Awards Finalist (Best Podcast) 2011 Black Weblog Awards Finalist (Best International Blog and Best Podcast Series) Black Blog Of The Day – Black Bloggers Network – June 23, 2011 Twitter Twitter hashtag: #DrVibe The Dr. Vibe Show™ – iTunes The Dr. Vibe Show™ – Spotify Dr. Vibe Media – You Tube The Dr. Vibe Show™ – Stitcher Radio The Dr. Vibe Show™ – TuneIn Radio The Dr. Vibe Show™ – Google Play Music The Dr. Vibe Show™ – iHeartRadio The Dr. Vibe Show™ at Anchor Linkedin – The Dr. Vibe Show™ Instagram The Dr. Vibe Show Facebook Fan Page
This month we're taking an in-depth look at the television story "The Time Warrior" via the Black Archive book series from Obverse Books. "The Black Archive #24 - The Time Warrior" by Matthew Kilburn is a look back at the Third Doctor favorite from a historical perspective and analyzes its roots in classical literature. We also take a few minutes to discuss the first four parts of the Doctor Who Magazine comic adventure "The Liberation of the Daleks," which is the first official adventure by David Tennant's Fourteenth Doctor. Of course, we'll also chat about all the news and goings on in the world of Doctor Who. Join us in the Police Box in the Junkyard for another episode you won't want to miss. Send feedback on this or any of our episodes to policeboxpodcast@gmail.com or join the discussion on the Facebook Group (www.facebook.com/groups/526688614899377/). Hope to hear from you!

What is The Sun Makers on TV? A simple satire on 1970s' British taxation? A subversive takedown of capitalism? Colonialism? All of these things? Lewis Baston (@LewisBaston5) has written the book on this story -- literally -- and is back this week to discuss with us. Please purchase Lewis' Black Archive volume on Sun Makers here. Last week, one memorably cranky reviewer on Apple Podcasts described my guests as "ghastly woke zombies". You bet we are! And even more of that this week. Jim Sangster (@Monster_Maker) has gone ahead and designed the Ghastly Woke Zombie T-shirt. And friend of the podcast Brian Burkart has given us the K-9 Roomba.

Finally, Time Ram kicks off its own Paul McGann era, beginning with 'A Town Called Mercy', previously imagined for TV's Matt Smith. In the process, we have our first Time Ram three-way, ask an important question about Borusa, and find out what Hanson money buys. We also tackle those cybernetic pirates, the Cybs, and impersonate The Two Ronnies. Also: how much does Helen Mirren need the work? Featuring our special guest star, Black Archive writer Jon Arnold!
WE'RE BACK! I missed you all and making episodes for all my listeners but after a much-needed break and some planning, we're back with the first episode of 2023. This is also the first episode of the final stretch to episode 100! So, you know we had to start things off on a good note with a wonderful woman I met at the end of last year. This week on The Safe Room, we have Jonsaba Jabbi from SKETCH and Building A Black Archive. Jonsaba Jabbi is a writer, community archivist & historian, and co-founder of Building A Black Archive, a grassroots community archive dedicated to building Black archives in Canada. She is a communications professional who has worked in the nonprofit sector for the last decade with organizations specializing in environmental justice, community arts, youth homelessness, and the heritage sector. She is of Grenadian and Gambian descent and was born and raised in Toronto, growing up in the Bloor & Dovercourt and Dufferin/St. Clair communities. If that's not enough to tune into this episode, I don't know what is. Anyways, we go into extensive detail on Building A Black Archive, the journey they went through during the pandemic, and thriving off it while getting to know some personal things about Jonsaba in our "Hot Seat" segment. It's the first of many bangers to come for 2023 leading up to the 100th episode, and I hope you're ready for it because I am!

Will Cooling welcomes back Darren Mooney to The Deep Dive! They catch up about "Peacemaker" and quickly discuss "The Boys" before Will springs discussing the parallels between Vince McMahon and Harvey Weinstein's falls from grace on Darren, which leads to some fascinating discussions about how quickly companies can implode, the advantage Vince has as a public figure, and how social media makes us all somewhat complicit in abuse. They then talk about the scheduled topic of the show - Darren's new book on the infamous "Doctor Who" episode Kill the Moon. They discuss its odd mixture of the adult and the childish, the enduring and unique appeal of "Doctor Who," and the overly rigid mindsets of fandom. On a lighter note, they explore to what extent the episode is a metaphor for abortion. We end with booking our very own Doctor Who wrestling match. Great show with Darren as always.You can buy Darren's book about Kill the Moon from Obverse Books, and it is the 59th installment of their Black Archive series of books on "Doctor Who" episodes. You can also find Darren's writing and videos at The Escapist, his podcasts The 250, and follow him on Twitter.
Marcie Sillman shares creative options for your arts & culture weekend
This week Jason is joined by Lewis Baston, author of a forthcoming Obverse Books' Black Archive book on the Doctor Who serial "The Sun Makers", to talk about Malcolm Hulke's February 1976 novelization of "Invasion of the Dinosaurs"... but, fear not, we get plenty of talk in about "The Sun Makers", too. Later on, Jason breaks down all the ways, plot-wise and dialogue-wise, and tone-wise, how the novelization differs so greatly from the TV serial. Along the way, we also discuss Von Daniken, play a game of 20 Questions, and give a look at the new trailer for Doctor Who: "Legend of the Sea Devils".
The award-winning Black Archive is a bi-monthly series of independently-published book-length looks at Doctor Who stories - and they've featured both of the Eighth Doctor's outings on TV. In Doctor Who (1996) Paul Driscoll looks at the Paul McGann TV movie as a functional series pilot, as a reinvention of the Doctor and of the 20th-century Doctor Who formula, and as a ‘bridge' to the 21st-century revival, while James Cooray Smith examines seven exceptional minutes of Doctor Who, suggesting The Night of the Doctor is a revisionist return to Doctor Who's past, typical of showrunner Steven Moffat, and a televisual coup despite its online release. Kenny meets range editor Stuart Douglas, and later, Kenny and Becca discuss their love of a good critical study. You can find out more about these two books from http://obversebooks.co.uk/theblackarchive/eighth/.
In this episode, Linda has the great pleasure of chatting with Wayde Compton, the writer, scholar, publisher, and current Chair of Creative Writing at Douglas College (in New Westminster, BC). He is the author of several books, including 49th Parallel Psalm (finalist for the Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize); Performance Bond; After Canaan: Essays on Race, Writing, and Region (finalist for the City of Vancouver Book Award); the graphic novel, The Blue Road; and The Outer Harbour (winner of the City of Vancouver Book Award). He has also edited two anthologies: Bluesprint: Black British Columbian Literature and Orature and The Revolving City: 51 Poems and the Stories Behind Them (finalist for the City of Vancouver Book Award).During this interview, we also speak aboutthe Black population in Vancouver compared to that of Nova Scotia (17.15)May Ayin (22)the Black Cultural Archive (4.30 and 8)What to read (and his own reading patterns, 30)Compton is a co-founder of the Hogan's Alley Memorial Project (8), an organization formed to raise awareness about the history of Vancouver's black community, and was one of the co-founders of Commodore Books (11.40), with Karina Vernon and David Chariandy. For February, he has been an active social media presence, for Black History Month. If you follow him on Twitter—and if you don't, we highly recommend that you do at @WaydeCompton – you'll know that he's been tweeting stories about people of African descent in Vancouver.So, just in time for Black History Month, we hope you enjoy this interview with Wayde Compton.

Then, as Stacey joins in, together, we discuss and debate Malcolm Hulke's first novelization, "Doctor Who and the Cave Monsters". Stacey previous wrote about the parent TV story for the Black Archive series, which she and I previous discussed on Trap One, which you can listen to below.

Enjoy today's conversation with Paul Driscoll, who has written about Doctor Who in many places, including the volume on The God Complex in the series The Black Archive.
@TinDogPodcast reviews the brilliant #UNIT 7 - (#DoctorWho Spin off) REVISITATIONS from @BigFinish This title was released in November 2018. It will be exclusively available to buy from the BF website until January 31st 2019, and on general sale after this date. Over the years, UNIT has faced hundreds of extra-terrestrial threats. The Black Archive holds relics of many such encounters, and UNIT’s files are filled with reports of strange and dangerous aliens. And sometimes, they come back. 7.1 and 7.2 Hosts of the Wirrn by Chris Chapman After the world’s strangest interview, UNIT’s latest recruit, Shana Siddiqui, hits the ground running to help Osgood with her latest assignment. The Master left UNIT a parting gift – something alien and deadly. The Wirrn have come to Earth, and now they are free… 7.3 Breach of Trust by David K Barnes An alien vessel arrives on Earth, its occupants seeking refuge, and Osgood takes them in. But there is reason to mistrust this cry for help. The files show that UNIT has faced the Kalvyri before. What else they reveal will set Kate at odds with her most trusted friends. 7.4 Open the Box by Roy Gill In the years since the Stangmoor Prison incident, Captain Chin Lee found a new calling. She now heads up an international organisation, dedicated to meditation and ‘mental fortitude’ training. But there is a menace deep inside the Pandora Institute. And Kate, Osgood and Josh must face their darkest fears… Deploying November 2018 Written By: Chris Chapman, David K Barnes, Roy Gill Directed By: Ken Bentley Cast Jemma Redgrave (Kate Stewart), Ingrid Oliver (Osgood), James Joyce (Captain Josh Carter), Ramon Tikaram (Colonel Shindi), Vineeta Rishi (Shana), Roger May (Sergeant Brundle / Simon / Fisherman / Jasper), Glen McCready (Marcus / Evans / Jacob), Katherine Senior (Kirsty / Private Sedgwick), Lizzie Stables (Vara / Norei), Richard Earl (Jarrack / Richard), Pik-Sen Lim (Doctor Chin Lee), Jonathan Christie (Seth Heyer), Simon Hepworth (Miles McLellan / Pandora).

Synopsis Kate Stewart and her UNIT team investigate and confront alien attacks on the planet Earth in this new 5 disc boxset. 2.1 Power Cell by Matt Fitton Osgood and Captain Josh Carter are sent to investigate the disappearance of a UNIT scientist. Meanwhile, alien technology has fallen into the hands of Lyme Industries, and Kate Stewart can't persuade the company's CEO, Felicity Lyme, to give it back. But UNIT find themselves fighting a third battle when innocent people start to die. Who are the mysterious assassins? And what does Felicity Lyme want with top secret alien technology? 2.2 Death in Geneva by Andrew Smith With few people left to trust, and with assassins on their tail, Kate and Osgood race to UNIT Command in Geneva. Will General Avary be able to help them? But when death follows UNIT all the way from the English countryside to the snowy slopes of the Alps, Captain Carter finds himself in a race against time. As the body count rises, Kate struggles to separate friend from foe, danger circles Osgood ever closer, and, high in the mountains, Josh comes face to face with the enemy... 2.3 The Battle of the Tower by Andrew Smith The threat is now clear, and Kate Stewart retreats to UNIT HQ with her most trusted colleagues. She has no choice but to place the Black Archive into lockdown, and the Tower of London is where UNIT will make its stand. While the capital sleeps, an alien horde is gathering, ready to rise from the shadows to attack Earth's greatest defence force inside its own stronghold. The Tower is infiltrated, and UNIT must hold the line. At any cost. Lock and load... 2.4 Ice Station Alpha by Matt Fitton Caught between human greed and an unstoppable alien power, Kate Stewart leads her closest allies on one final, desperate mission. This could be the very last chance for the human race. But the UNIT team has been declared rogue, and ruthless military forces are in pursuit as they race across the globe. Kate calls Lieutenant Sam Bishop to their aid, while Josh and Osgood head out across the frozen Antarctic plains to try and prevent a disaster no-one else knows is coming.

So, after about six months of unintended hiatus (!), the ninth episode of 'Terminus' is now finally finished and available for you! So, life sort of got on top of me during that time, derailing me completely and utterly, but I'm back to give things another go with a belated review of the 50th anniversary story, 'The Day of the Doctor' (I've postponed the promised 'Silver Nemesis' review episode for later, since I'm shuffling my schedule around a bit to accommodate the hiatus). Anyway, many apologies for the wait and many thank-yous to those who've been listening all this time and cheering me on to return to my podcast again. Hopefully, things will balance out soon again on this end and I can bring you more content, more frequently. Anyway, as I said above, join me on this episode as I chat about 'The Day of the Doctor' and even get a bit saucy and naughty at times, but that's what recording at 3:00 AM will do for you.

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.

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?'.

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." Filming Because "The Day of the Doctor" was filmed in 3D, the episode took longer than usual to shoot, especially as every shot had to be done twice. Filming began on 2 April 2013 in , .
