== Notes ==
* In the instalment of Gallifrey Guardian printed in DWM 597, Russell T Davies revealed that the inclusion of the various Doctors, companions, and monsters was much-deliberated over the span of months: Davies stated that he was sad that K9 didn't make the cut; that originally all the Doctors were included before it was decided that that was an "unholy mess"; that Jon Pertwee was the final Doctor added after they released they had too much empty space; and that Missy was the final addition — a suggestion from Brand Director Vanessa Hamilton — being placed in the inner circle of the "O", as the rest of the "O" was intended for monsters.
** Davies also revealed that plans existed for the animation to be revamped every year or so, so other characters could be added.
** Davies also thanked BBC Studio's Executive Creative Director Nick Meikle and his team and Murray Gold for the music.
