"The Time of the Doctor" is a forthcoming episode of the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who, written by Steven Moffat and directed by Jamie Payne, which is due to be broadcast on 25 December 2013 on BBC One. It will feature the final regular appearance of Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor and the first regular appearance of Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor following his brief cameo in "The Day of the Doctor". The episode will feature multiple monsters, including the Cybermen, Silence, Daleks, and Weeping Angels.
"The Time of the Doctor" is the third installment in a loose trilogy of episodes, following "The Name of the Doctor" and "The Day of the Doctor", which together serve as the Eleventh Doctor's swan song. The episode addresses numerous plot threads developed over the course of Smith's tenure, including the prophecy of the Silence and the Doctor's fate on the planet Trenzalore. "The Time of the Doctor" is also the 800th individual episode of Doctor Who, the ninth Christmas special since the show's 2005 revival, and Matt Smith's fourth and final Christmas Special as the Eleventh Doctor.
A synopsis released on the BBC website read: "Orbiting a quiet backwater planet, the massed forces of the universe's deadliest species gather, drawn to a mysterious message that echoes out to the stars. Among them, the Doctor. Rescuing Clara from a family Christmas dinner, the Time Lord and his companion must learn what this enigmatic signal means for his own fate and that of the universe.
As revealed in the first trailer, Tasha Lem, someone from the Doctor's past, stands with what looks like the Church and proclaims "The Siege of Trenzalore is now begun!" This refers to the prophecy, said by the character Dorium Maldovar, stating that on the fields of Trenzalore at the fall of the Eleventh, the Silence will fall when the oldest question in the universe, "Doctor who?", is asked.
