Following on from the clash of the titans in the Doctor Who finale, it seems they're planning on another battle royale next year. Footage has already surfaced...
The Doctor did something, something big and flashy and typically Doctorish, which went horribly wrong. It ended the war but killed all the Time Lords and, supposedly, wiped out the Daleks (apart from the ones who disappeared into the void and the ones who survived with the Emperor).
At some point, I am hoping that this will be revealed...
I think that's been almost explicitly said on screen. Except, from what Ecclestone said, I suspect it was not so much "horribly wrong" as it was "exactly as planned". He knew what he was doing, and he pushed the button anyway because otherwise the Daleks would have won and it would have been all his fault. It broke him, and he spent his ninth life healing, mentally.
My narrative sense suggests that it was part of a Time Lord last-ditch contingency plan, and he was merely the one to put it in motion (either due by intent or happenstance) ... I have nothing really to base that on though.
