The Last Day fleshes out a key moment that is spoken about in snippets in first few years of the show’s return - then fall of Arcadia. It is a genuinely unsettling, low budget short which is perhaps a little too short for the breadth of the ideas they are trying to portray. We do not get enough time to invest in the characters, or build up the anticipation of the final demise. But we do get a good scare.

Prerequisites: Nothing explicit, but I'd recommend watching this paired with the other 50th Anniversary episodes. Spoilers! The Last Day isn't a bad minisode, but it is admittedly very short and fairly cheap. The ideas are cool; I like the concept of these 'premonitions', and the headcam perspective was novel. The ending, while predictable, is effective, and it all makes for a fairly decent introduction to The Day of the Doctor. Like Liked 3 Open in new window Statistics AVG.

SOLDIER: Don't try to speak. If you can hear me, nod. When the headcam's attached for the first time, your speech centres get a bit confused. You'll be fine in a bit. Do you want to try standing? Oh, that's it. It'll feel better any second. What I'm doing now is fusing the grid to your neural receptors. From now on, the headcam is downloading directly into your memory. A tiny part of your brain is now a hard drive. Takes up hardly any space. You won't feel a thing. Now, at the beginning, sometimes this has side-effects. (flash of a screaming soldier) I don't know what the guys have been telling you, but trust me, they're not premonitions, okay? Just side-effects, hallucinations. Okay, take a look in the mirror. I'm going to show you how the fittings work. (Our soldier turns, sees himself and staggers back, falling over.) SOLDIER: It's only an hallucination. It's okay, it's not real, it's not a premonition. Are you listening to me? (A little later, the soldier puts on his helmet.) Show Full Transcript Open in new window
