* The [[Fourteenth Doctor]] was revealed in [[TV]]: ''[[The Power of the Doctor (TV story)|The Power of the Doctor]]'' to be portrayed by [[David Tennant]] and therefore [[Tenth Doctor|identical to a previous incarnation]]. This Doctor's clothes regenerated along with him and as such he does not choose his new outfit, ruling him out as the incarnation from this story.
** The [[Fifteenth Doctor]] is heavily implied to be this incarnation due to his appearance matching how this Doctor is described.
