List of episodes (2005–present)

"The Name of the Doctor" is the thirteenth and final episode of the seventh series of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who . It was first broadcast on BBC One on 18 May 2013. It was written by Steven Moffat and directed by Saul Metzstein. The episode was watched by 7.45 million viewers in the UK and received positive reviews from critics.

Contents

In the episode, an entity called the Great Intelligence (Richard E. Grant) kidnaps Victorian-era Paternoster Gang detectives Madame Vastra (Neve McIntosh), Jenny Flint (Catrin Stewart), and their butler Strax (Dan Starkey), to force their friend, time-travelling alien the Doctor (Matt Smith), to go to the planet Trenzalore, the site of the Doctor's future grave. The Intelligence's plan is to trap the Doctor and then force the Doctor to open a door in time so the Intelligence can reverse all the Doctor's victories. It is the first appearance of John Hurt's War Doctor.

The episode features several references to previous episodes of the series. It was leaked in the United States when the Blu-ray release was distributed early due to a production error.

Plot

In 1893, Madame Vastra and Jenny Flint are given information concerning the Doctor by Clarence DeMarco, in return for a stay on his execution. They use soporific drugs to hold a conference call through time and space between themselves, Strax, River Song, and Clara, in a dream. Vastra repeats DeMarco's words: "The Doctor has a secret he will take to the grave, and it is discovered." During their conference, eyeless humanoids called Whisper Men kidnap Vastra and Strax and kill Jenny. The Great Intelligence tells Clara to tell the Doctor that his friends are "lost" unless he goes to Trenzalore.

The Doctor and Clara travel to Trenzalore, the planet holding his future grave, to save his friends. The planet is covered with tombstones, the result of a great war, while a future version of the TARDIS (having deteriorated and grown to enormous size) stands above the graveyard. The duo are attacked by Whisper Men. An echo of River, still telepathically linked to Clara, helps direct the two to an escape route that leads to the giant TARDIS. Strax, Vastra, and Jenny (who is revived by Strax) are awakened by Whisper Men and meet the Great Intelligence.

The Great Intelligence threatens to kill the Doctor's allies unless the Doctor says his name to unlock the TARDIS doors. The Doctor refuses, but as he speaks, River says the Doctor's name and unlocks the TARDIS. Inside, the Doctor reveals a pulsating column of light to be his time stream. The Great Intelligence enters it in order to undo the Doctor's past as revenge for all the defeats it has been dealt. The positive effects of the Doctor's travels begin to be nullified by the Intelligence's interference. Jenny disappears and Strax forgets his history with Madame Vastra and attacks her. In self-defense she kills him.

Clara remembers the Doctor telling her that she has helped the Doctor in other places in time and space. She enters the time stream to restore the Doctor's timeline, bringing Jenny and Strax back in the process. Echoes of Clara fall through space and time and appear in adventures of the Doctor's previous incarnations. The Doctor enters the time stream to save Clara, guiding her from a place where she sees several previous incarnations of the Doctor. Reunited, the two spot another figure in the shadows which Clara does not recognise. The Doctor explains the elderly figure is another past incarnation of himself, but what he did in the past was not in the Doctor's name. The figure turns around, revealing himself to be the incarnation who fought during the great Time War.

Writing

The Whisper Men as they appear at the Doctor Who Experience.

Lead writer Steven Moffat conceived of the episode's plot due to a realization that many of the season's episodes had been "frothy" and more light-hearted. Moffat wished to create a more "funeral-like" atmosphere, akin to that which appeared in the episode Logopolis (1981) which depicted the Fourth Doctor's regeneration. [1] Moffat stated that he wanted to have a new monster in the finale, after the series had seen the reappearance of old monsters such as the Ice Warriors, Cybermen, and Daleks. The idea of the Whisper Men came from "the thought of stylish, whispering, almost faceless creatures" which seemed frightening and appropriate for "an episode that looks forward and back". [2]

The first draft of the script was dated 1 November, 2012, and remained largely identical to the final script, though had several differences from the final version. The opening sequence- in which Clara falls through the time vortex- was instead going to have Clara wake up in a cottage and recount her splinters interacting with various Doctors. Other differences included location shoot differences, the Doctor kissing River Song's grave to open the trapdoor to get into the over-sized TARDIS, and a mysterious figure arriving in another TARDIS. Clara's entrance into the Doctor's time stream would have also resulted in her becoming horrified at the Doctor, requiring Strax to sedate her. The Doctor would have entered his time stream to return to the Time War as River Song's apparition faded away. Clara would additionally have referenced seeing Amy Pond falling out of the Pandorica (As depicted in the 2010 episode "The Big Bang") and the Doctor's death at Lake Silencio (Depicted on-screen in the 2011 episode "The Impossible Astronaut"), which would have had her face overlaid on top of crew members who had accidentally entered the shots of both scenes, with Moffat attempting to retcon both crew members as being splinters of Clara. [3]

"The Name of the Doctor" was initially used in the first draft of the script, but all subsequent drafts referred to the title as "The Finale." [4] The second draft of the script was dated to 7 November, 2012, with this script depicting Clara's opening sequence akin to how it appeared in the final episode. The draft ended with the Doctor greeting the Paternoster Gang at the tomb entrance. Another draft, dated to 13 November, 2012, removed the Doctor's kiss and the arrival of the second TARDIS, and changed the locations of the dreamscape sequence to how it appeared in the final episode, with the draft ending with the Doctor inviting the others into his tomb. A full production draft dated a day later added the sequence depicting the tomb's appearance, which now resembled the Doctor's TARDIS interior as it did in the final episode. [5] The episode's shooting script was dated to 15 November, 2012, and depicted unique scenes of Clara encountering the Doctors not present in the final episode. [5]

Filming

The episode was directed by Saul Metzstein. [6] Work on the episode overlapped with production of "Nightmare in Silver" (2013). Certain sequences in the episode were recorded alongside "The Day of the Doctor" (2013)'s production block, instead of being recorded with the episode's production block. [5] Shooting began on 16 November 2012 in Cardiff Bay, and concluded on 30 November. Green screen shots were filmed at the BBC's Roath Lock Studios. [7] On 25 March and 25 April 2013, Metzstein also handled the shooting of the accompanying minisodes. [8]

In a scene in which Strax brawls with a Scotsman, actor Dan Starkey burst through a window with Sontaran makeup. The Scotsman was portrayed by a stunt double. A later scene involving River Song, in which she slaps Vastra, had actress Alex Kingston actually slap Neve McIntosh, with a script note for the scene stating "Good luck, Neve!" Practical effects were also used for the TARDIS's crash-landing on Trenzalore, with explosions and fires being used on the TARDIS set. Smith was advised not to swing on the TARDIS's rail-guards during the explosion, though he did so anyway. [9]

The episode contains archive footage of the Doctor's prior incarnations. Specifically video from of the First (from The Aztecs , 1964, with dialogue from The Web Planet , 1965), Second, Third (both from "The Five Doctors", 1983), Fourth ( The Invasion of Time , 1978), Fifth ( Arc of Infinity , 1983), and Seventh ( Dragonfire , 1987) Doctors was shown. Stunt doubles were used for some other brief appearances, including the Sixth Doctor walking past Clara while she is in a corridor. Several Doctors can also be seen running past her in the Doctor's time stream. [10] The clips of the first Doctor were colourised. [11]

Casting

"The Name of the Doctor" stars Matt Smith and Jenna Coleman star as the Eleventh Doctor and Clara Oswald respectively. [10] Many actors reprised their roles in the episode. Alex Kingston reprised her role as River Song, while Dan Starkey, Caitrin Stewart, and Neve McIntosh reprised their roles as Strax, Jenny, and Vastra of the Paternoster Gang, respectively. Richard E. Grant portrayed the Intelligence's human host, Dr. Simeon, reprising his role from "The Snowmen" (2012). Eve de Leon Allen and Kassius Carey Johnson additionally reprised their roles as Angie and Artie, two children Clara looks after, in the episode. Additional roles include Sophie Downham as the young Clara and Paul Kasey, who portrayed the Whisper Men. [12]

John Hurt makes his first appearance as the War Doctor, an incarnation of the Doctor who fought in the Time War, a large war between the Doctor's species the Time Lords, and the Daleks. [13] He would later appear in "The Night of the Doctor" and "The Day of the Doctor". [14] [15]

Broadcast and reception

Mini-episodes

"The Name of the Doctor" was released alongside various mini-episodes. "She Said, He Said" is a mini-episode that acts as a prelude to "The Name of the Doctor", in which the Eleventh Doctor and Clara each have a monologue about how little they know about each other and that they discovered each other's secret at Trenzalore. It was released on 11 May 2013 on BBC Red Button and online. Viewers using Red Button were able to access the prologue between 7:40 and midnight every evening, until "The Name of the Doctor" aired on 18 May 2013. [16] Also released to promote the episode were three "Strax Field Reports", in the first of which, subtitled "The Name of the Doctor", Strax informed the Sontarans of a great battle predicted to occur and admitting suspicions that it had to do with the Doctor's greatest secret. He informed Sontar that the operation was called "The Name of the Doctor". [17] In the second, subtitled "A Glorious Day Is Almost Upon Us...", Strax discussed a 'glorious day' in which death was likely. [18] The final field report – "The Doctor's Greatest Secret" – discussed the cliffhanger, commenting that this new Doctor had the appearance of a warrior. [19] This was the only field report released after the episode.

Leak

On 12 May 2013, a week before the official premiere of "The Name of The Doctor", it was announced that 210 Doctor Who fans in the United States had received their Blu-ray box set of the second half of the seventh series early due to a production error. After successfully requesting that they not reveal the plot, the BBC sent the recipients copies of an interview with the cast. [20] Moffat later complimented the "210 of them, with the top secret episode in their grasp – and because we asked nicely, they didn't breathe a word." [21]

[29] When viewers who watched the episode later on were taken into account, the figure rose to 7.45 million, making Doctor Who the third most-watched programme of the week on BBC One. [30] The episode received an Appreciation Index of 88. [31]

Critical reception

The episode received positive reviews. The Guardian described the episode as "the best episode of the season", and "possibly the best finale we've seen". [32] Mark Snow of IGN gave the episode 9.1/10, praising the final conversation between the Doctor and River Song, as well as the revelation about Clara; however he noted that the Great Intelligence was "a little underwhelming" and "not very threatening", and that while the Whispermen impressed initially, they did not "[make] a great villain." [22]

Michael Hogan of The Daily Telegraph said that the episode was an improvement on the previous two. He noted that it was "momentous, moving and thrilling". However, he also noted that the episode had "a tad too much clunking exposition, the odd spot of creaky CGI and some unconvincing metaphors about soufflés and leaves." Despite this, he called it a "breathless, brilliant finale". [27] Patrick Mulkern of The Radio Times praised the episode, highlighting the performances of the cast, the direction of Metzstein as director, and the reveal of John Hurt as the War Doctor. [12]

The episode was nominated for the 2014 Hugo Awards for Best Dramatic Presentation (Short Form), along with several other Doctor Who related media including "The Day of the Doctor", An Adventure in Space and Time and The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot . [33] They lost to the Game of Thrones episode "The Rains of Castamere". [34]

They later became integral to many episodes and stories as their role in the universe developed. For the first eight years after the series resumed in 2005, the Time Lords were said to have been destroyed during the Last Great Time War at some point in the show's continuity between the television movie in 1996 and the show's revival. In 2013, the 50th anniversary special "The Day of the Doctor" concerned this supposed destruction and their eventual survival.

River Song (<i>Doctor Who</i>) Fictional character in the British TV series Doctor Who

River Song is a fictional character created by Steven Moffat and played by Alex Kingston in the British science-fiction series Doctor Who. River Song was introduced to the series as an experienced future companion of series protagonist the Doctor, an alien Time Lord who travels through time in his TARDIS. Because River Song is a time traveller herself, her adventures with the Doctor occur out of synchronisation; their first meeting is with the Tenth Doctor, the Doctor's first and apparently her last. Kingston plays her in 15 episodes, as River becomes a companion, romantic interest and eventual wife of the Doctor in his eleventh incarnation portrayed by Matt Smith. From a production perspective, the Twelfth Doctor is the last incarnation to meet her, spending a 24-year-long night with her, before her first meeting with the Tenth Doctor. From the timeline perspective, the final time River meets with the Doctor, she is a hologram/echo from the library archives; she and the Eleventh Doctor part ways in the episode, "The Name of the Doctor".
