Meet the Doctors
Explore the Whoniverse
The War Doctor
The ‘War Doctor’ was a choice made by the Eighth Doctor. Who or what did he wish to become? The Doctor made his decision quickly… ‘Warrior!’
The Ninth Doctor
A northern accent. Big smile. Bouts of melancholy and mixed with manic excitement and an offbeat sense of humour… The Ninth Doctor is the bruised but brilliant ‘last of the Time Lords’.
The Tenth Doctor
The Tenth Doctor is a fascinating combination of bonhomie and loneliness. He felt the loss of Rose Tyler very keenly but approaches all his adventures with a life-affirming gusto!
The Eleventh Doctor
The Doctor, in his eleventh incarnation, is an excited explorer of the universe, with a keen intelligence that means he often notices what everyone else has missed.
The Twelfth Doctor
The Twelfth Doctor may not be big on hugs but he’s still brave, heroic and drawn to danger… But there is a dark side. When Clara light-heartedly called herself his carer he agreed with his companion, adding ‘She cares so I don’t have to…’
The Thirteenth Doctor
This Doctor loves to be surrounded by friends – in fact she treats her travelling companions Yaz, Ryan and Graham more like family, often boosting their confidence by telling them how great they are.
The Fugitive Doctor
Living a happy domestic life on Earth, the ‘Fugitive Doctor,’ Ruth Clayton was one day shocked to discover that actually she was a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey living under a false identity to hide from extraterrestrial pursuit.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2018It starts "709 episodes ago", the Doctor's adventure with Ben and Polly called "Doctor Who, Story 29: The Tenth Planet". At the end, the Doctor, the FIRST Doctor, can feel himself start to regenerate. But he resists: "I can't go through with it. I will fight it. I will not change." He walks outside into the flurrying snow, and hears something. He calls out, "Hello? Is someone there?"
And that's how the 1st Doctor meets the 12th Doctor, with 1500 years between them. While they regard each other, the snowflakes freeze in position in the air around them. Birds freeze on the wing, people freeze, flames freeze, everything pauses. Except for the Doctors and one person. And one THING.
This Christmas Special originally aired in December 2017. It is about 56 minutes without commercials. If you buy it on disc, English subtitles are available on both the episode and the one Bonus Feature.
If you follow Doctor Who at all, you know that this is the last episode for Peter Capaldi (plays the 12th Doctor), Steven Moffat (long-time writer and show runner) and Brian Minchin (producer).
Warning – You probably aren't inclined to do so, but you do not want to watch the Bonus before you have seen the episode, as there are spoilers:
...bonus... "Dr Who Extra" (23 minutes) Commentators include Steven Moffat, David Bradley (plays the 1st Doctor redux), Mark Gatiss (plays the Captain), Pearl Mackie, Rachel Talalay (director), Nicholas Briggs (voice of the Daleks) and Matt Lucas. This bonus has clips from the show, clips from rehearsals and little sit-downs with the commentators.
They recreated the original all-white TARDIS control room from the era of the first Doctors, though they couldn't help but add a couple improvements. Mark Gatiss proposes that that "just goes to show how quickly and easily we could remake those missing episodes." Now THAT'S an idea!
It was a relief to me that I really liked this Christmas Special, as I am not a fan of the mediocre 2016 special, "The Return of Doctor Mysterio." "Twice Upon a Time" has a lot of humor and the feel-good Christmas-y feeling of the 2010 "Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol". (I don't know about you, but my favorite is still the 2007 "Voyage of the Damned", Season 4 with David Tennant.)

- Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2018Unlike many Who fans I had a hard time getting used to Peter Capaldi as Doctor Who. I entered 'Whoville' in the Matt Smith years since I live in the US and so had missed a childhood filled with Daleks and Cybermen. I immediately liked the quirky Smith and when I had exhausted all of his work, I went back to David Tennant and broadened my allegiance to him as well. I went backwards again to explore season 1 but after Tennant and Smith that season seemed tame in comparison. Finally, on I went to explore series 8 and 9 with Capaldi, whose dark episodes seemed to be winding down the Doctor Who franchise. I thought well that's that - there seemed to be so much angst in series 9 about the downside of living forever which you can learn from any 90 year old. So I didn't even watch series 10. But this special was a Doctor Regeneration, so I had to see it. Was there a future for the Doctor? I had seen the special on the making of the first doctor (a must see especially for a newbie), so it was an interesting premise that the first doctor and the 'last doctor' might meet up with each other over the whole issue of regeneration. Surprisingly I enjoyed this special. It was as inventive as always. David Bradley is excellent as the first doctor and I finally decided that Capaldi should join my list of favorite doctors- now that he's leaving. Much as I love Jenna Coleman and have followed her into her Victoria series, I think she was too overbearing and Capaldi too much of a child listening to mother in series 9. IMO Capaldi does better in this special because she is not a major presence in it. Now I hope there will be more Who episodes to come but again it will be hard for me to adjust. Meanwhile, I bought the Capaldi collection (8,9, and 10) to revisit/or see for the first time with a new attitude. I also bought the Tom Baker blu-ray season 1 (or 12 depending on who is counting) and the lost episode of Shada to see if I would like Tom Baker as the Doctor - I did. So there's more Who to come! WHOOORAY
- Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2024I really like Capaldi as the Doctor, and this ending to his run is a perfect way for him to go out. It's brilliantly done to bookend his regeneration with Hartnells and a brilliant twist to add in the dying WWI soldier. Who that soldier was/is was a great bonus to the tale. All of them don't want to leave but are so necessary that they do what is necessary for the stories to continue. The story takes place on the fateful day, Christmas day of 1914. It is no spoilers to say it all ends as it should and you appreciate that they did get where they had to end up since they earned it.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2024Product arrived on time and was as expected.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2018This disk is amazing! Twice Upon a Time (the 2017 Xmas special) looks like you wouldn't believe. I couldn't tell it wasn't filmed in 4K. The color depth is also unbelievable with HDR - which is the real reason to get this. It has extras in HD, but nothing to write home about.
It is at 2160p24, so filmic speed, so it is a slight difference from the original 25fps, but closer than the speedup to 30fps that Americans are used to. The disk (like all 4K) is region free, so it can be played anywhere in the world - which is why they chose to go for 24fps, rather than do 25fps and 30fps versions.
It does not contain an HD Blu Ray copy or digital copy, so you can only play this if you have an Ultra HD Blu Ray Player (not just upscaling). To watch in 4K you must also be watching on a 4K TV, though players will downscale to HD - defeating the purpose of buying this disk.
Story-wise this is a great end to Capaldi's Doctor and brings back David Bradley, but this time as the first Doctor, not as William Hartnell. It is very continuity heavy though, so I wouldn't watch it until I had seen Capaldi's run.
Now I'm just waiting for Jodie Whittaker in 4K, please!

4.0 out of 5 stars Peter Capaldi as the 12th Doctor in his final regular appearance as the Doctor.
Three Doctors? Capaldi, Whittaker and David Bradley as the FIRST DOCTOR?? (obviously not really). But Bradley does bear a remarkable similarity to the original doctor in the series. Fun to watch. Sad to see Capaldi go.
