Clara is worried about revealing the truth about her adventures in space and time to Danny when the Doctor is forced to take a job as Coal Hill School’s caretaker as he tracks a rogue Skovox Blitzer, a dangerous weapon … Continue reading →
The Caretaker; Adam, Kirby, Debbie and Mary don the brown coat and review a visit to Coal Hill School. We also have feedback, Doctor Who News, a special guest announcement for #FanTCCon4 and What We Watched This Week.
This week, Pete Lambert and Hannah Cooper join us for a particularly embarrassing Coal Hill School parents' evening, which goes horribly wrong when a Mechanoid is found roaming the premises. It's The Caretaker. Notes and links Pete has a dim memory of something similar happening during his childhood, but mere months before Series 8 aired, the Troops to Teachers programme was introduced, giving veterans the change to fast-track their teacher training so that they could work in schools. The Guardian reports on the scheme here. Vasquez Rocks is a park not far from Hollywood, and was famously used in the original Star Trek episode Arena (the one with the lizard man in a skimpy cocktail dress). A particular famous rock formation, nicknamed Kirk's rock is recreated in the opening shot of this episode. Nathan alludes to the fact that Barbara is absent from Episodes 4 and 5 of The Sensorites because Jacqueline Hill was on holiday, and that she returns from her time on the Sensorite spaceship with a spectacular tan in Episode 6. In the Press Gang episode UnXpected, Mmoloki Chrystie's character Frazer Davis encounters the fictional Colonel X, who was the main character in a cheesy spy-fi show he watched as a child. Michael Jayston is magnificent as Colonel X. (You might be able to find it on YouTube if you look hard enough. It's worth the effort.) Follow us Nathan is on Twitter as @nathanbottomley, James is @ohjamessellwood, Hannah is @MrsSimonTemplar, and Pete is @Prof_Quiteamess. The Flight Through Entirety theme was arranged by Cameron Lam. You can follow the podcast on Twitter at @FTEpodcast. We're also on Facebook and Mastodon, and you can check out our website at flightthroughentirety.com. Please consider rating or reviewing us on Apple Podcasts, or we'll turn up at your workplace with a mop and bucket and make snide remarks about your ability to do your job. And more We've got an exciting new Doctor Who project to launch at the start of 2024, but — annoyingly — we're not going to tell you anything more about it yet. Stay tuned. In the meantime, you can find Jodie into Terror, our flashcast on the entirety of the Whittaker Era of Doctor Who, at jodieintoterror.com, at @JodieIntoTerror on Twitter, on Apple Podcasts, and wherever podcasts can be found. We'll be back with a new flashcast on the second Russell T Davies era in November. Our James Bond commentary podcast is called Bondfinger, and you can find that at bondfinger.com, at @bondfingercast on Twitter, on Apple Podcasts, and everywhere else as well. We can also be heard on the Blakes 7 podcast Maximum Power, which has completed its coverage of the first half of the show's entire run. Recording is continuing on schedule, and our coverage of Series C should be ready for you later in the year. There's also our Star Trek commentary podcast, Untitled Star Trek Project, featuring Nathan and friend-of-the-podcast Joe Ford. In our most recent episode, we watched a barely competent episode of the Original Series called Wolf in the Fold.
Clara is determined to balance her time travel life with her normal life. But one day, The Doctor tells her that he is going deep undercover and won't be taking her along. Join us as we discuss Episode 806: The Caretaker The next day at Coal Hill School, she is introduced to the new temporary ...
Ross and Vic tag along with the Doctor, Clara, Danny and their Coal Hill School students on adventure in a newly reforested London. This Season 8 episode brought up some new discussions for us. Some of them about the story itself and some about what is happening in the world around us.
The Doctor goes back to school and meddles in Clara's love life. Jimmy Akin, Dom Bettinelli, and Fr. Cory Sticha discuss the Doctor's animus toward soldiers, Danny's controlling behavior, and the enduring presence of Coal Hill School.
The Doctor goes back to school and meddles in Clara's love life. Jimmy Akin, Dom Bettinelli, and Fr. Cory Sticha discuss the Doctor's animus toward soldiers, Danny's controlling behavior, and the enduring presence of Coal Hill School. The post The Caretaker appeared first on StarQuest Media.
This time, we examine Sylvester McCoy's 'The Chase', ably assisted by our special guest star: writer Jon Blum, of New Adventures and BBC Books fame! In the process, we learn about Doctor Who as sitcom, Terry Nation's thought processes, how to cast Larry Hagman and whether Ace attended Coal Hill School. We also get to meet Dalek Putey, and come down hard on the whole Marie/Mary debate. Most critically, just how much of 'The Chase' can we cut? All of it? Let's find out!

We take a look at this story, Can we all agree on it? Maybe.

Ben and Mark turn their attention to the teachers of Coal Hill School as they look at 'The Caretaker' and 'The Rescue'. One story features two kindly teachers specialised in history and chemistry whilst the other focuses on two teachers who, whilst romantically involved, have neither. Under discussion: A whistle stop history of portrayals of the military in Doctor Who, the unassuming historical significance of 'The Rescue', boyfriend errors, and the invention of the Doctor Who companion.

In this flashback podcast, the Metebelis Two discuss Ace's second story, Remembrance of the Daleks. From a strong B-movie opening to crane lowering Dalek shuttle crafts into the courtyard of Coal Hill School to the wobbly Dalek battle in the streets of London, Ben and David share their thoughts on this classic McCoy story from 1988 set in London, 1963. Spoiler though, Ben is firmly in the Renegade Dalek camp and shares is disgust with the trashy white and gold Imperial Daleks. David shares his thought about the Cartmel Master Plan and how this story works within the history of the show in this 25th anniversary season. Opening and closing music is from Keff McCulloch's score to this story.

...und einem billigem Wortspiel. Der heutige Whocast wurde etwas vorgezogen, um den Teilnehmern am Adventsgewinnspiel das Leben leichter zu machen. Falls ihr noch nicht wisst, worum es geht, werft einen Blick hierauf: http://whoview.de/2016/11/25/weihnachtsgewinnspiel-2016-4-advente-4-fragen-viele-gewinne/ Das schöne Intro zu unseren CLASS-Besprechungen haben wir wie immer dem John Williams der deutschen Podcast-Szene zu verdanken: Solus! Und die nun folgenden wunderbaren Shownotes gehen auf das Konto unsere heutigen Mitcasterin und Kollegin aus dem grauen Rat: Mary (diesmal in voller Montur): Auch wir nehmen gespannt im Klassenzimmer Platz, um die erste Folge des neuen Doctor Who Spin-offs zu besprechen. Und nachdem wir mit unserer generellen Torchwood-Ablehnung auf das schlimmste gefasst waren, stellen wir fest: Bei Class sitzen wir gerne nach. Denn der erfrischende Schnitt, gute Dialoge und überraschende Szenen können über den stereotypen Cast problemlos hinweghelfen. Gory Action trifft auf Situationskomik und schafft etwas, dass Fernsehunterhaltung in den letzten Jahren selten geschafft hat: Class überrascht uns. So sehr, dass wir eigentlich nicht mal den Doctor gebraucht hätten. Der wollte auch eigentlich gar nicht bei der neuen Coal Hill Academy vorbeischauen, sondern wollte eigentlich zum Friseur, wenn man sich das Styling so anschaut. Aber um was geht es in Class? An der ehemaligen Coal Hill School verschwinden Schüler. Denn zwei Außerirdische im vom Doctor ausgesuchten Asyl haben ihre Todfeinde angelockt. Nicht nur die Schulnerds werden in die Geschehnisse mit reingezogen, sondern auch der Rugby-Star und Schulliebling. Auch der Quotenschwule darf nicht fehlen. Ungewöhnlich vielleicht, dass die Schulnerds hier aus einem Mauerblümchen mit nach einem Unfall behinderter Mutter und einer dunkelhäutigen Streberin mit Freundschaft zum Rugby-Star bestehen. Was genau passiert und warum der Doctor eigentlich gar nicht hätte auftreten müssen, könnt ihr in diesem Podcast hören oder euch selbst ansehen. Die Musik in der psychedelisch inszenierten Opening Sequenz ist übrigens eine gekürzte Version von "Up All Night" von Alex Clare. Leider konnten wir nicht herausfinden, wer der verantwortliche Director of Photography ist. Solltet ihr da mehr wissen als wir: Gebt Bescheid. Die Executive Producers Patrick Ness, Steven Moffat und Brian Minchin machen in jedem Fall einen guten Job. Daher sehen unsere Wertungen auch so aus: Class in der imdb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5079788/

#doctorwho #BBC #tindogpodcast #podcast No one could travel through history – past present and future – as much as the Doctor does without leaving an impression. Much of what we know about this mysterious figure comes from what he does – the planets he saves and the monsters he defeats. But until now we've had little knowledge of his writings.The Time Lord Letters is a unique collection of over one hundred letters, notes, and jottings both by and to the Doctor – correspondence by turns entertaining and inspiring, funny and flippant, brilliant and incredible.From the Doctor's plea to the Time Lords to help end the War Games to an extract from the written defence he submitted at his subsequent trial; from his application for the post of Caretaker at Coal Hill School to his apology to the Queen for missing dinner; from telepathic messages to the High Council on Gallifrey to his famous letter to Santa Claus – like the Doctor himself, the mood can change in an instant. The Time Lord Letters captures the best and most dramatic moments of an impossible life. You'll never see the Doctor in quite the same way again.
Better late than never. Our editor (Aaron) got distracted by New York Comic Con and forgot how to work the TARDIS, so our review of Under the Lake is being released after Before the Flood has already aired.

We discuss and share our dream Doctor Who LEGO ideas. Saved by the cloister bell. A Doctor Who spin-off series has been announced and will focus on Coal Hill School. We discuss our interest level. Not quite before the flood. We review Under the Lake.

This one's going up much later than we wanted, but better late than never? Hopefully. This time, Shana and Daniel discuss "Kill the Moon," in particular some horrifying science content and the inherent sexism of certain elements of fandom. Also: the abortion of the moon. Main Topic: "Kill the Moon." Bad Astronomy. Question: sexism on Doctor Who versus other similar shows? If you're on Tumblr.... We expect better from Doctor Who. "You cis-het white dude." The science of "Kill the Moon." Not ranting about numbers. Summarization. Laughing Shana. If Martha was in this episode. You Fail Biology Forever. You Fail Physics Forever. Gravity. Amniotic Fluid. Age of the moon. Prokaryotic spiders. 99 Biology Problems. Talkin' about eggs. Parody science? A promise of math. Clara tells off the Doctor. Shana paraphrases a long quote. Unique in Doctor Who history. Dudebro fan response to Kill the Moon. Dragon abortion. A boy's club on Doctor Who. Not the hero. "I think you look like giants." The Trolley Problem. Patting ourselves on the back. Forgetting Martha Jones. "Are you high right now?" Talking about plot arcs. As angry as Clara. As feminist as Sarah Jane. The Voice of Reason.

A rubbish brown coat (not the legendary Tennant overcoat, sadly, that would have been funny) is a paper-thin disguise for a Doctor who is a bit of a rubbish caretaker.

#tindogpodcast #doctorwho notes from wiki "Into the Dalek" is the second episode of the of the British television programme , written by and , directed by , and first broadcast on 30 August 2014. Ford has written previously for the show, co-writing 's "". Starring and the episode also introduces as Danny Pink. It was watched by 5.2 million viewers in the UK on its initial transmission, according to unofficial overnight figures, taking a 24.7 per cent share of the entire TV audience and making it the second-highest rated programme of the evening. Contents [] Plot[] saves Journey Blue, a rebel fighter, from her space shuttle, which is under attack by , but is unable to save her brother, who has already perished. He returns her to the rebel space station, codenamedAristotle. He is greeted by Journey's uncle, Colonel Morgan Blue, who thanks the Doctor for saving his niece, but declares that he must be killed for fear he is a Dalek spy. However, Journey declares that, as he is a 'doctor', the Doctor can help their patient, which is revealed to be a war-torn Dalek they found floating through space who has appeared to have turned good. Meanwhile, , a veteran of the war in Afghanistan with emotional scars from his past, begins teaching Maths at Coal Hill School. In the staff room, Danny is introduced to, who invites him to a leaving do for one of their colleagues. Feeling awkward due to an obvious connection between them, Danny declines, but when Clara finds him in his classroom despairing over his actions, she invites him out for a drink. He agrees, and she returns to her office, where she comes face to face with the Doctor, who she has not seen since he left her three weeks ago when he went for coffee in Glasgow (as seen in ""). He tells her that he needs her help, and asks whether he is a good man. Clara replies that she does not know. They return to the Aristotle, where Colonel Blue details plans to miniaturize the Doctor, Clara, Journey and two rebel soldiers, Ross and Gretchen, so they can enter the broken Dalek, nicknamed Rusty, to see if they can determine what is making it good. Entering through the eyepiece, they begin exploring the upper part of the Dalek. Ross shoots a griphook into the floor, and the Dalek releases antibodies, much like in the human body, which incinerate him. The Doctor, Clara, Journey and Gretchen flee to Rusty's waste centre, where the Doctor correctly guesses that nothing will be guarded. From there, they head to an area of high radiation, with Rusty speaking to the Doctor on the beauty it had witnessed in the galaxy, including the creation of a star, and that the Daleks must be destroyed for wanting to destroy that beauty. At the Dalek's power center, the Doctor discovers a large crack, which he deduces is causing the malfunction within the Dalek. He uses his sonic screwdriver to seal the crack, fixing Rusty in the process. However, this causes it to return to its normal thinking pattern, losing the good within it. Colonel Blue and his men are helpless as the Dalek breaks its chains and begins exterminating the rebels, determined to aid the Dalek cause. It contacts the Dalek main ship, which releases more Daleks with the aim of destroying the rebel station. Inside Rusty, Clara convinces the Doctor to try to reawaken the good side of the Dalek. They split up, with Clara and Journey heading to reawaken memories of the Dalek's past now being suppressed, and the Doctor heading to the Dalek's consciousness. Gretchen sacrifices herself to set up another griphook to get Clara and Journey to the mind of Rusty, but is destroyed by antibodies. She awakens after her death in "Heaven" and is greeted by a mysterious woman named Missy, the same woman that greeted the Half-Face Man (""). Clara manages to awaken Rusty's memory of him seeing the creation of a star, while the Doctor manages to link his mind to Rusty's consciousness, reminding him of the destruction the Daleks caused. However, Rusty associates with the Doctor's own deeply-rooted hatred towards the Dalek race, and he exterminates his fellow Daleks as they attempt to destroy the rebel station. On leaving the inside of the Dalek, the Doctor parts with Rusty, upset that the Dalek saw only darkness within him and wishing for a 'victory' in creating a good Dalek. Rusty's response is that the Doctor himself is a good Dalek, while Rusty is not. The Doctor vows to continue with his mission to destroy the Daleks. The Doctor and Clara depart. Journey asks to come with them, but the Doctor declines, telling her that though she has a kind heart, he wishes that she hadn't been a soldier. The Doctor returns Clara to her office, moments after she left. Clara tells the Doctor that, although she is still unsure of whether he is a good man, she knows his intentions are well meant. On leaving, she bumps into Danny, who says he's glad that his being an ex-soldier hasn't put her off. Remembering the Doctor's treatment of Journey, Clara tells Danny that she is not so judgemental. Continuity[] The Doctor refers to his first encounter with the Daleks on in and his 's initial lack of altruism prior to meeting them. Rusty's assessment that the Doctor "is a good Dalek" echoes the lone Dalek's comment to the in "" that he "would make a good Dalek." The Doctor's loathing for the Daleks manifests in "", "", and "". Promotion[] Two clips from the episode were featured alongside an interview with Peter Capaldi on on 7 August 2014. On 25 August, a ten-second clip was released showing the Doctor's reunion with a lone Dalek. The same clips were re-released on 27 August in slightly extended form. Reception[] Into the Dalek was watched by 5.2 million viewers in the UK upon its initial transmission, according to unofficial overnight figures, taking a 24.7 per cent share of the entire TV audience and making it the second-highest rated programme of the evening. Into the Dalek received highly positive reviews. Simon Brew of wrote that the episode "stakes one hell of a claim...as a series highlight," and that it was "a really good, really entertaining episode." They noticed the similarities to 2005's "". He was pleased with the new characterization for Clara and praised Capaldi saying the episode is when we fully get to see Capaldi as the Doctor. They called the episode "one of the most downright enjoyable episodes of Who in the past year or two." also noticed similarities to "Dalek" and found the episode to be "better than we might have expected." They praised the guest cast, specifically the character development of Zawe Ashton's character in such a short space of time. They praised Ben Wheatley for "evoking a genuine sense of claustrophobic menace," and felt the episode "works fantastically well." Terry Ramsey of gave the episode four stars out of five praising Capaldi, "It may be hard to believe in a good Dalek, but after Saturday night it is easy to believe this will be a good Doctor." also heavily praised the episode, particularly Ford and Moffat's script, stating that it "evolves along with its characters". They ultimately labelled the episode "an entertaining new take on a classic old foe", awarding it 8.4 out of 10. Neela Debnath of was highly positive of the episode, calling it "A classic sci-fi adventure with all the spectacle of a blockbuster." She praised the new dynamic between The Doctor and Clara as "just what we needed...it only took a whole series but finally she (Clara) has become the companion we were hoping for." Overall she called it "a strong installment," and "finally, a Dalek story that viewers could really get their teeth into." Tim Liew of gave a positive review saying, "I rather enjoyed this episode." He was also positive about the character development for Jenna Coleman and also saw the similarities to Dalek, "the tight focus on a single enemy makes this the most menacing Dalek episode since Dalek." Morgan Jeffery of also felt the episode was an improvement over the series' opening episode and that it "felt like the proper debut of our new lead," and "felt like his (Capaldi) first real chance to spread his wings with the last vestiges of the Matt Smith era discarded."He felt the dynamic between Capaldi and Coleman was very similar to that of and . He praised Coleman's acting and chemistry with Samuel Anderson in only short teaser scenes. He praised Ford's script, "The 'romantic comedy' portion of 'Into the Dalek' is utterly charming with strong use made of comedic cross-cutting." He was positive on the new spin taken on the Daleks. He called the episode "smart, stirring and visually spectacular," and ended with "the Daleks may never change but both our favourite sci-fi series and its unique lead character seem to be undergoing a transformation and I'm fascinated to see where it leads us." He gave the episode four stars out of five. The episode received an score of 84, considered Excellent.It was much better received by the fanbase than the previous episode was. Leak[] As part of the , both the script and a rough cut of the episode were leaked online from a server in .

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."

Doctor Who - Tin Dog Podcast reviews Synopsis Shoreditch, London, 1963. The Beatles have beaten John Smith and the Common Men to No. 1 and satellites are being launched in outer space. Back down on Earth, strange goings-on are occurring: the normally placid teenagers of Coal Hill are running riot and a master thief is stealing highly specialised equipment. Schoolgirl Susan Foreman just wants an easy life for herself and her grandfather, the mysterious Doctor. She wants to be liked and accepted by Cedric and all the other pupils at Coal Hill School. But there's trouble in the streets and bombsites around Totter's Lane. The teenagers are becoming dangerous… Their mission: to hunt down anyone different, or alien… Susan's quiet life is about to spiral out of control. Having inadvertently started drawing attention to herself, she finds herself drawn into a desperate situation. Suddenly, the chase is on and she and her grandfather are now the hunted. PLEASE NOTE: THE CD RELEASE DOES NOT COME WITH A FREE DOWNLOAD OF THE STORY. Written By: Nigel RobinsonDirected By: John Ainsworth Cast Carole Ann Ford (Susan Foreman), Tam Williams (Cedric)
