"The Day of the Doctor" 50th Anniversary Spotlight
Former "Doctor Who" showrunner Steven Moffat faced a difficult task when he helmed the series in 2013 - put together a 50th Anniversary special for the franchise. "The Day of the Doctor" is generally regarded as a powerhouse entry, pairing up the 10th and 11th Doctors with a "surprise" Doctor - the War Doctor. Jessica and Phillip talk about John Hurt's portrayl of this "new" Doctor, what the 9th Doctor would have been like in that role, and how well the three Time Lords played together.
For their look into the TARDIS library moment, the couple examine "The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot," a 50th Anniversary special written and directed by Peter Davison (5th Doctor), starring Colin Baker (6th Doctor), Sylvester McCoy (7th Doctor), Paul McGann (8th Doctor), and a slew of "Doctor Who" stars, both in front of and behind the camera.
