Several former assistants, including Janet Fielding, who plays Tegan, and former doctors Peter Davison and Colin Baker made guest appearances in the epic.
The episode came to a very dramatic conclusion when Jodie’s Doctor surprisingly regenerated into a very familiar face: David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor.
Despite not being ready to regenerate, she said while looking at the sunset: ‘The most blooming flower. That’s the only sad thing. I want to know what happens next.
“Very good, doctor-who-I-want-I-am-to-be. Tag, you are,’ before Tennant made the surprising appearance of him.
The newly regenerated Doctor ran his fingers over his teeth and said ‘I know these’ clearly puzzled as he returned to his old body.

Jodie’s final episode on Sunday night ended with a short preview of the anniversary episodes, which will hit screens in 2023.
The trailer teased Ncuti’s long-awaited arrival as the star was seen asking, “Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?”
After the episode, showrunner Russell T Davies said, “If you thought David Tennant’s appearance came as a shock, we’ve got plenty more surprises on the way!”
‘Ncuti’s path to the Fifteenth Doctor is full of mystery, terror, robots, puppets, danger and fun! And how does it tie in with the return of the wonderful Donna Noble? How, what, why? We give you a year to speculate and then all hell breaks loose!
