Where to watch

Spotted a broken link? Tell us and we'll fix it.

Matt Smith's last bow, and Steven Moffat sends him out with a bang and a lump in the throat. The deadliest species in the universe gather above a quiet little backwater planet, all drawn by a mysterious message echoing across the stars, and the Doctor is standing right in the middle of it. There's a heck of a lot of Time Lord business, a good few old enemies and a clock ticking away. Have the tissues handy, because this one is a proper goodbye. Settle in the good chair, tell the kids to hush and watch an era end.
