The Eleventh Doctor's Last Stand- never-before-told exploits from the Doctor's 900 years protecting the town of Christmas.
As it had been foretold, the armies of the Universe gathered at Trenzalore. Only one thing stood between the planet and destruction - the Doctor. For nine hundred years, he defended the planet, and the tiny town of Christmas, against the forces that would destroy it.
