The show's fiftieth-birthday party, and it knows it.

The Doctor's past catches up with him across all of them. Made to celebrate fifty years of the series, it brings different faces of the Doctor together and leans on the long history longtime viewers carry. Big, warm, and clever, with one eye always on the fans.
