Then there was the not so small matter of John Hurt, introduced in the closing seconds of the Season 7 finale The Name of the Doctor, as a previous incarnation of the character. He did not disappoint in this matter - otherwise why bring them back? By revealing their appearance early Moffat made fans imagine all sorts of scenarios where any of the aforementioned characters might be copied. The other big piece of the puzzle that's been well know for a long time was the shape shifting Zygons, who only appeared once before in Terror of the Zygons.
10TH DOCTOR BIG RED BUTTON SERIES
As was Queen Elizabeth I, who Tennant's Doctor had once boasted as knowing and indeed was chased by her in Series 2's The Shakespeare Code. Kate Stewart (Jemma Redgrave), who featured in Series 7's The Power of Three, was also always going to make an appearance too. We knew current assistant Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) would also put in an appearance, and the 9th and 10th Doctor's companion Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) would also feature. Moffat said a long time ago The Day of the Doctor would feature current and 11th Doctor Matt Smith and 10th Doctor David Tennant while 9th Doctor Christopher Eccleston did not want to reprise his role. The reason I wished I hadn't seen it is simply that I have enjoyed mulling over all the possible ways the story could go based on the information show runner Steven Moffat had released.Īnd seeing it, also somehow, felt like getting my Christmas present early and I haven't even had my birthday yet! So great, in fact, that it not only met my expectations but surpassed them.

Not because it was really bad, but because it was so good. I wish I hadn't seen Doctor Who's 50th anniversary special The Day of the Doctor at Hoyts Te Awa, Hamilton, yesterday.
