Opening

A scene specially written by Steven Moffat and featuring host Dermot O'Leary and Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor was shown before the title sequence.^[3] O'Leary wakes up and realises he has missed the awards show and then The Doctor appears with the TARDIS to offer help. They travel through time and space and meet various people from the TV industry including Ant and Dec, EastEnders character Dot Branning. June Brown who plays Branning appeared as Eleanor in the 1973 Doctor Who story "The Time Warrior".^[4] Doctor Who last crossed over in Albert Square during the 1993 Children in Need Doctor Who charity special "Dimensions in Time". Stacey Solomon and Shaun Ryder, who had appeared together on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, performed an arrangement of Nina Simone's version of "Feeling Good". Eventually, the Doctor claims that the next destination is "a vast and terrible arena full of insane shrieking banshees thirsting for blood and conquest" which Dermot identifies as the National Television Awards.
