Although notall actors to play the Doctorwere directly involved , they still experience a nod at an exciting point in time in the installment .
Doctor Who ’s Disney erabegan with the long - running sci - fi show ’s 60th anniversary , and while David Tennant ’s trilogy of comeback episodes were n’t immediate continuation to " The Day of the doc , " they did add to a narrative closed book that has been blooming since the fiftieth day of remembrance special .

The Thirteenth Doctor and beyond weren’t present in “The Day of the Doctor”
The striking climax of " The Day of the Doctor " lead in " all thirteen " versions of the show ’s main character get together to save their homeworld of Gallifrey . It ’s a very exciting moment , but it ’s arguably a short - sighted piece of writing choice .
