Doctor
Who: The Day of
The Doctor, written by lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat,
sees the Doctors (Matt Smith and David Tennant) embark on their greatest
adventure across space and time. 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. Starring Matt Smith, David Tennant, Jenna Coleman, with
Billie Piper and John Hurt, this is the event fans have been waiting
for.
The special also stars Jemma Redgrave as Kate Stewart, daughter of legendary
Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, and Joanna Page as Queen Elizabeth
I.
Last seen as
the Tenth Doctor on January 1, 2010, the special is the first time David Tennant
has reprised his role. During his tenure as the Time Lord, Tennant appeared in
three seasons as well as several specials. He was first revealed as the Doctor
in the 2005 season finale, The Parting of the Ways. Meanwhile Billie
Piper, who played companion Rose Tyler for two seasons following the reboot in
2005, will appear in the show for the first time since featuring in David
Tennant’s last episode, The End of Time in 2010. Doctor Who: The Day
of The Doctor is directed by Nick Hurran, executive produced by Steven
Moffat, Faith Penhale and produced by Marcus Wilson.
