Watch clips from the show and interviews with the cast during its making
Doctor Who fans around the world are watching its 50th anniversary episode in what is believed to be the largest simulcast of a TV drama in history.
The episode, The Day of the Doctor, is being broadcast in more than 90 countries at the same time as it is being shown on BBC One.
The show's boss Steven Moffat says fans should expect an "emotional wallop" at the end of the episode.
"It's the most ambitious episode we've ever done," he said.
"This event means it is a worldwide show not simply a British phenomenon," Moffat, Doctor Who's lead writer and executive producer, said.
The episode is also being screened in 3D in more than 1,500 cinemas across the world, including Australia, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Ecuador, Spain, Sweden, Norway and Iceland.
The 50th anniversary adventure stars Matt Smith, David Tennant and John Hurt as different incarnations of the Doctor.
John Hurt's version of the Doctor was first introduced at the end of the episode, The Name of the Doctor, broadcast in May.
Jenna Coleman plays companion Clara, while Billie Piper returns as Rose.
The episode will also feature the Daleks and the return of shape-shifting aliens the Zygons, who first appeared in 1975.
The story involves a mystery at London's National Gallery in the present day, as well as "a murderous plot" in Elizabethan England in 1562.
Guest stars include Jemma Redgrave as Kate Stewart and Joanna Page as Elizabeth I.
The Zygons, not seen since the mid-70s, returned in the anniversary special Moffat admitted he was "nervous" about the special episode, but added he hoped fans would be "very happy" with the 75-minute special. "It's got a big emotional wallop at the end, I think they'll be cheering."
The anniversary story is Smith's penultimate outing, before he regenerates at Christmas into a new Doctor, played by Peter Capaldi.
