Sleep No More (TV story)

 was the ninth episode of the ninth series of Doctor Who produced by BBC Wales.

It broke away from the traditional filming style of the series by featuring a unique title sequence and depicting the events of the story through a found-footage style of direction, featuring all its scenes in a manner that suggests they were being viewed through video recordings rather than in third-person.

It also was the first episode of Doctor Who to have its title given during the closing credits rather than the opening credits. The only other time a television story of the series did not feature a title during the opening titles was the 2005 Children in Need Special, which did not display any discernible title at all.

Synopsis

Story notes

 * This is the first televised episode of Doctor Who to carry no opening titles. The episode title and writer credit were instead placed at the start of the closing credits. The Big Finish audio story LIVE 34 previously utilised a similar format of presentation, with no titles or credits whatsoever. However, when Rassmussen's initial video footage ends, the series title appears in the form of a code.
 * The story is notable for using the found footage format, and for using elements of first person monologue told by Professor Rassmusssen.
 * It is also notable for being the first episode in the series to cast an openly transgender actress (Bethany Black).
