3.02 - Be a Doctor.

This week, I'm joined by Merlin Mann, to discuss another moment from The Day of the Doctor, the 50th anniversary special from 2013, featuring Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor, John Hurt as the War Doctor, and Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald. We discuss what it means to for the Doctor to encounter himself from another time, how media nostalgia can do the same for us, and how the Doctor's promise makes him such a compelling character.
