In THE DAY OF THE DOCTOR, it is 2013, and something terrible is awakening in London’s National Gallery. Meanwhile, in 1562, a murderous plot is afoot in Elizabethan England. And somewhere in space an ancient battle reaches its devastating conclusion. All of reality is at stake as the Doctor’s own dangerous past comes back to haunt him.
