Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe idea for "The Night of the Doctor" came following the creation of the previous unknown incarnation of The Doctor played by John Hurt in The Name of the Doctor (2013). Steven Moffat decided that he wanted to see how this Doctor came into being, with the best story idea being a direct regeneration from the Eighth Doctor, which would have added benefit of showing the end of the Eighth Doctor, which Moffat always wanted to see. Having contacted Paul McGann, who indicated his willingness to participate, Moffat then constructed the mini-episode to serve as an additional surprise for the fans, as well as serving as an introductory piece to The Day of the Doctor (2013).
- Quotes
The Doctor: Hang on. Is it you? Am I back on Karn? You're the Sisterhood of Karn, keepers of the flame of utter boredom.
Ohila: Eternal life.
The Doctor: That's the one.

Featured review
An important mini episode
This was a mini episode that got buried away on the BBC Red Button at first but Doctor Who fans will know its true importance and worth as it is the episode where we finally see what became of the 8th Doctor, who we met all too briefly in the 1996 TV Movie.
It acts as a good episode in itself, but also as a very important link between the series as a whole. It sounds odd, but we as an audience do need to see the regeneration of a Doctor, however painful that change can be (I'm happy to see Capaldi's regeneration now though - I've not enjoyed his time in the TARDIS). This mini episode gives us the closure we needed with the 8th Doctor.
