Doctor Who: The Night of the Doctor
Directed by John Hayes
Produced by BBC
A tense, introspective short that forces the Doctor to confront mortality and sacrifice, weighing duty to a stranger against the cost to his own identity.
The Doctor struggles to help the only remaining crewmember of a crashing gunship. The people of the planet below offer to save his life, but at a dear cost to the life he's lived for hundreds of years.
