Twice Upon a Time was the 2017 Doctor Who Christmas special. It was the final episode under showrunner Steven Moffat's tenure, and featured the last regular appearance of Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor.

Concluding the end of the Twelfth Doctor's life teased in World Enough and Time and shown throughout the events of The Doctor Falls and this episode, the ending showed the Doctor's regeneration and introduced Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor, marking the first female incarnation of the Doctor in the series history.

After a surprise appearance at the end of The Doctor Falls, the First Doctor had his first full appearance on the programme since The Five Doctors. Here, he was portrayed by David Bradley, who had previously played the original actor William Hartnell in An Adventure in Space and Time. This was the first televised interaction between a "classic" Doctor and a BBC Wales era Doctor since 2007's Time Crash. Archival footage from The Tenth Planet is used to bookmark the First Doctor's place in this story. The special also introduced Archibald Hamish Lethbridge-Stewart, credited as "the Captain", a new member of the Lethbridge-Stewart family.

Ben Jackson and Polly Wright make a brief re-reappearance in the programme for the first time since their exit in 1967's The Faceless Ones. Bill Potts joins the two Doctors, and Captain Lethbridge-Stewart, as a Testimony glass avatar. Past companions Nardole and Clara, briefly, make similar appearances. The "good Dalek" Rusty, from Capaldi's second episode, Into the Dalek, makes his second appearanceā€”in Villengard, a location mentioned only once before on television, in Steven Moffat's first television story, 2005's The Empty Child / The Doctor Dances.

Synopsis

In the Twelfth Doctor's final chapter, he must face his past to decide his future, discovering hope in his darkest moment. But can he convince his original self to also change?

Plot

The episode opens as a flashback to when the First Doctor combated the Cybermen from Mondas. He is freed from his restraints by his companions Ben and Polly, the threat over. However, he is weak, his body beginning to regenerate. Refusing to give in, he leaves his friends to be alone. He wanders the South Pole, mumbling to himself that he will not change. Nearing his TARDIS, he hears a voice in the distance declaring themselves the Doctor. He approaches the man, who is knelt down in the snow, outside his TARDIS, rebuking his statement as he declares he himself is the Doctor.

Things shift back to the present, from the Twelfth Doctor's perspective, who gets to his feet, shocked at seeing the First Doctor. The Doctor is delighted at meeting his first self, but realises that he is refusing to regenerate. The First Doctor is confused and dismisses his future self as another Time Lord, before noticing the TARDIS. The Doctor reacts joyously at the First Doctor calling the TARDIS the ship but he dismisses him, too busy puzzling as to why it is suddenly bigger with larger windows. The Twelfth Doctor retorts him, stating it happens as the TARDIS can't "keep [her] tummy tucked in" forever. However, the snow suddenly ceases to fall, capturing the pair's attention. In the distance, another man in World War I attire addresses them, asking if one of them is a Doctor. The Twelfth Doctor looks at the man and asks "are you trying to be funny?"

The scene then shifts to the soldier's perspective, flashing back to 1914, Ypres on Christmas day. The soldier, a captain in the British Expeditionary Force is in a shell hole in the battle field, his revolver aimed at a German soldier, who also has his sidearm trained on the Captain. The Captain speaks English to the man, wishing they spoke English too or he spoke German. Both men realise they will kill each other in self-defense, their respective troops far away in their trenches, unable to assist either of them. Just as the Captain prepares to accept his fate and fire, a wave of energy flows through the field, freezing everything except the Captain. The Captain exits the shell hole, wandering around in wonder at the instance. A bright light suddenly flashes, capturing the Captain's attention. It suddenly encapsulates him, the soldier finding him in a room as lights flash with only "timeline malfunction" filling his eyes. He suddenly collapses to the ground in the arctic, hearing the two Doctors discussing the static snow. He approaches them.

The scene once more shifts back to the Twelfth Doctor's perspective. A portal of light opens in the distance, the two Doctors approaching it. The First Doctor orders the portal to reveal itself, while the Twelfth Doctor claims the planet is protected, surprising the First Doctor as he does not know who guards it. However, the light quickly vanishes, surprising the Twelfth Doctor as "that almost never works." The First doctor returns to the Captain, telling him to enter his TARDIS, the Twelfth Doctor coaxing him to follow. They enter, the First Doctor becoming surprised at seeing the desktop theme so different; he fears he has been burgled. The Captain is too in shock, but more in surprise at how much bigger it is on the inside. The Twelfth Doctor attempts to convince his younger self they are the same person, even displaying he too is regenerating. He even points out that the First Doctor's TARDIS is 70 feet away, proving the one they are in is actually a much older version, hence the size increase. Regardless, the First Doctor remains skeptical. The Captain hears them mention "World War One", which the Twelfth Doctor confirms, saddening the soldier as he felt the Great War would be the only conflict to reach such a scale, causing the Doctor to apologise: "spoilers". The First Doctor notices the Captain's unease, telling the soldier to sit down and orders the Twelfth Doctor to fetch some brandy.

Initially perplexed, the Twelfth Doctor does so, retrieving a glass. He hands it to the First Doctor who queries if he has had a glass, which his future self sarcastically confirms, given he has had 1500 years to do so. The First Doctor presses on, calling the Twelfth Doctor a nurse because he is "gentle", like a woman. The Twelfth Doctor tells his younger self that he can't say that, as he will be around many people who will dislike such a statement in the future. The First Doctor, seeing the Captain calm down, examines the new desktop theme, crticising how his successor has turned the "most powerful ship in the universe" into a "restaurant for the French". Before the Twelfth Doctor can reply, the First Doctor spies his older self's electric guitar, something the Twelfth Doctor tries to dismiss as his younger self surmises he has played it given it is the only thing that is not covered in dust. Regarding the dust, the First Doctor voices his disappointment in discovering that Polly must no longer be around to clean the TARDIS. Once more, the Twelfth Doctor tells his younger self to stop saying things like that.

Music

Story notes

  • The cinematic release featured two documentaries: The End of an Era, a retrospective and behind-the-scenes look, before the showing, and Twice Upon a Time at the end, an in-depth look into the making of this Christmas special.
  • Twice Upon a Time features a "Previously on Doctor Who..." sequence saying "709 Episodes ago" and showing footage from TV: The Tenth Planet with William Hartnell, Anneke Wills and Michael Craze as the First Doctor, Polly Wright and Ben Jackson respectively. The footage slowly morphs Hartnell into David Bradley, and Lily Travers and Jared Garfield then appear as Polly and Ben, who then proceed to reenact the missing bits on Snowcap from said episode.
  • Rachel Talalay had actually shot a number of scenes from The Tenth Planet, with a complete set reconstruction, recast characters, and the series 10 Mondasian Cybermen. She said in an interview that she tried to make both the set, and the cinematography, as accurate to the original scenes, and original production values, as much as possible. She did admit to having fun with some parts of the set in particular, and embellishing with a "60s feel", and noted that some details of the action had to be invented. These scene recreations were not used in the final edit of Twice Upon a Time; the original footage was used in its place. However, these specially shot re-tellings were shown in the cinema feature DOC: Twice Upon a Time.[12]
  • The First and Twelfth Doctors meeting also features the scene acted out differently in TV: The Doctor Falls and Twice Upon a Time, similar to how episodes in the 60s reshooting the prior sceneā€™s cliffhanger, often resulting in little differences. The same situation also occured when TV: The Runaway Bride followed the TV: Doomsday cliffhanger 11 years prior.
  • The recreated Hartnell TARDIS interior set actually included props from the original set in the 1960s. As told by Mark Gatiss, these included the brass pillars, which are indeed the brass pillars from way back in 1963. Other aspects of the set were recreated.[12]
  • The Twelfth Doctor's regeneration has a new visual effect, and even sound effect, to those used previously in the BBC Wales series. Resembling slow travelling, elongated golden lightning. It is the first regeneration for the Doctor, since the Seventh Doctor's in 1996, to use an effect which is visually distinct from that seen in The Parting of the Ways, with the Ninth Doctor up to The Doctor Falls.
  • Toby Whithouse, with his performance here as the German soldier, is the second person to be involved in the BBC Wales series as both actor and writer, following Mark Gatiss.
  • The First Doctor's amazement and confusion about the Twelfth Doctor's sonic screwdriver would appear to contradict PROSE: Venusian Lullaby, which features the screwdriver used by the First Doctor.
  • This is the third consecutive regeneration story to include the word "time" in the title, following The End of Time and The Time of the Doctor.
  • This is the second multi-Doctor story to feature a regeneration, and the first in which it is the current incarnation of the Doctor who is shown to regenerate. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
  • Nikki Amuka-Bird is credited as "Helen Clay" on-screen, and as "The Glass Woman" in Radio Times.
  • When Bill's glass avatar and the Doctor talk and she restores his memories of Clara Oswald, the music from The Husbands of River Song when the Doctor and River were on a date before the Singing Towers of Darillium plays.
  • Nardole having invisible hair was already jokingly stated by Steven Moffat in a BBC post episode interview. There he also stated that Nardole was the only one able to see it through his glasses and that it was purple.[13] Matt Lucas had been aware of the invisible hair, but not the glass nipples.[12]
  • The Twelfth Doctor's final lines about his name and how humans would understand it are directly taken from a theory Capaldi stated at a press screening interview of The Pilot.[14]
  • The Twelfth Doctor's line "never, ever eat pears" is a tweaked version of the one in a hidden scene in TV: Human Nature by the Tenth Doctor. It was also said in TV: Hell Bent by the Twelfth Doctor.
  • This is the first regeneration story in the revived series without any direct connections to the Last Great Time War.
  • This is the third televised multi-Doctor story, after TV: The Two Doctors and Time Crash, that is not an anniversary special. It's also the first televised Christmas special to also be a multi-Doctor story.
    • Time Crash was also written by Steven Moffat.

For the purposes of this list, a "regeneration story" is one in which a regeneration is actually and initially depicted. For this reason The War Games is not included below, even though it is commonly thought of as a "regeneration story". It doesn't actually include a clear scene of regeneration, and the preponderance of stories in other media confirms that the Second Doctor did not regenerate at the end of it.
Additionally, immediate post-regeneration stories, like the 2005 Children in Need Special Born Again ā€” and ones like Castrovalva, where the regeneration sequence was replayed ā€” are not included.
v ā€¢ e
Dalek television stories
For the purposes of this list, a "Dalek story" is one in which one living, authentic Dalek plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as The Space Museum are not counted due to the Daleks' appearance being defined by their importance to following stories, while stories such as The Wheel in Space and The Waters of Mars are absent due to the Daleks' only contribution being references to past Dalek stories. Stories like The Wedding of River Song, Hell Bent, Once, Upon Time and The Vanquishers are also not included due to the Daleks' appearance being restricted to a single scene of no consequence to the plot of the story, while the TV movie is also absent due to the Daleks only being heard from off-screen.

For the purposes of this list, a "Cyberman story" is one in which one living, authentic Cyberman plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as Dalek are absent due to only featuring deceased Cybermen on display. Stories like Carnival of Monsters, A Good Man Goes to War and The Vanquishers are also not included due to the Cybermen's appearance being of little consequence to the plot of the story.
