“Eleven's
Hour is Over Now, the Clock is Striking Twelve's” – Clara
New York – December 18,
2013
– As the
eleventh hour nears, a regeneration is on the horizon, but not before the Doctor (Matt Smith, How to Catch a
Monster) and his companion, Clara (Jenna Coleman, Death Comes to
Pemberley), enjoy one last adventure. This year’s Doctor Who
Christmas special marks the end of the Eleventh Doctor. Through his many
adventures, this Doctor has rescued dinosaurs on a spaceship, married his love –
River Song and encountered aliens including The Silence, Daleks, Cybermen,
Weeping Angels and more. But it was his latest adventure, The Day of the
Doctor, that effectively changed the course of his history as we know it when he
and twelve versions of himself banded together to save Gallifrey from
destruction. Now facing his very last adventure, the Eleventh Doctor receives a signal that brings
him face-to-face with a massed force of the universe’s deadliest aliens. What
this signal means for his future life is unknown, but when the clock strikes
twelve, the Eleventh will be no more.
Join BBC AMERICA for a full day

Doctor at 6:00pm ET followed by an encore of the 50th

Smith, a retrospective look back at Matt Smith’s time as the Eleventh

Doctor at 9:00pm ET.
ENCORE: THE NIGHT OF THE
DOCTOR/THE DAY OF THE DOCTOR
Enjoy the
television premiere of the six-minute prequel, The Night of the Doctor
that leads into the 50th anniversary special. 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. The special is
directed by Nick Hurran, executive produced by Steven Moffat, Faith Penhale and
produced by Marcus Wilson. The Night of the Doctor and The Day of
the Doctor airs Wednesday, December 25, 6:00pm ET.
