Doctor Who: 10 Timey-Wimey Episodes (Written By Steven Moffat)

4. The Day Of The Doctor

The highly-anticipated 50th anniversary special was always going to be a somewhat timey-wimey affair. Before transmission, we already knew that something was going to be bring Doctors Eleven and Ten together - as well as a never before seen incarnation played by John Hurt. Doctor who? On the night (or should that be day?) we found out the truth. The Day of the Doctor sees the War Doctor on the brink of destroying Gallifrey with the aid of the Moment. However to make him see the error of his ways, the sentient Moment lets him meet two future versions of himself to see the affect his actions will have. Still, he seems sure it is the only way out. That is until the Doctors combine their efforts and realise that they can save Gallifrey by shunting it sidewards into another dimension - with a little help from all of their incarnations. Gallifrey falls no more! What constitutes timey-wimey more so than rewriting the categorically-stated history of the show (I'd have loved to be a fly on the wall when Russell T Davies, the creator of the Time War, saw the special for the first time)? Thanks to Day, Doctor Who is set on a brand new course. Steven Moffat himself certainly wasn't having a bad day when he wrote this episode.
