About this listen

Nicholas Briggs reads the brand new novelisation of the spectacular 50th anniversary TV episode. When the entire universe is at stake, three different Doctors will unite to save it.

The Tenth Doctor is hunting shape-shifting Zygons in Elizabethan England. The Eleventh is investigating a rift in space-time in the present day. And one other – the man they used to be but never speak of – is fighting the Daleks in the darkest days of the Time War. Driven by demons and despair, this battle-scarred Doctor is set to take a devastating decision that will threaten the survival of the entire universe… a decision that not even a Time Lord can take alone.

On this day, the Doctor’s different incarnations will come together to save the Earth… to save the universe… and to save his soul.

This story manages to retell the story of ‘The Day of the Doctor’ without taking anything away from the amazing television episode. We get a deeper insight into every character and learn things that could never be taught in a 1 hour special. There a ton of new additions to the story that tie up plot holes and explain confusions many fans had. Nicholas Briggs incredible voice work makes for a dynamic and constantly exciting listening experience enjoyable for everybody.

As a Dyed in the wool Doctor Who fan,this is a fitting extra for my collection,if you've seen the movie in 3D at the Cinema or own it on DVD,then hearing this audiobook is more than twice as long as what we saw in the movie,with much more jokes quips and Doctorisms to enjoy

Well Worth Getting

A Whovian, for the longest time, I loved ‘The Day of The Doctor’ telemovie🙂 So when I saw the audio book version, in Audible, I had to have it👍 I love that it went into so much more detail, than the movie, and fleshed out each character, more than the movie ever could🙂 Really, truly, this is the perfect companion to the telemovie👍🥰 Siobhan xx

Doctor Who perfection🙂

While keeping close to the TV episode, the novel delves into the personal experiences of the characters, adding many extra layers of depth to the story.

Written with style, character and humour. Moffat creates a highly enjoyable story, that could be best compared to The Hitchhiker’s Guild to the Galaxy.

Fantastic! Funny!

Definite Dr Who fan and I love Moffat's scrips and especially the movie. However this conversion of scrip to book was, in my opinion, a disaster. Yes it did fill in some plot holes and filled in some background, but it was so convoluted that it distracted dreadfully. If you hadn't seen the movie you would not have had any success following the book, and even having seen the movie and the prequel minisode, it was a massive struggle. The book was so poorly written I wonder if he actually wrote it.

Very disappointed
