== My theory ==

I know this is speculation. But instead of being an "8.5" or the "Real 9th Doctor", I reckon John Hurt will be playing an older Eighth Doctor. In the flashbacks, there was no Eighth Doctor, in the time stream sequence at the end when they were running past, there was no Eighth Doctor.

This way, none of the regenerations get messed around and from a story perspective it can still make perfect sense, not to mention, the costuming is a mix between 8 and 9. So that's my theory, John Hurt is playing an older 8th Doctor.

:I agree with your theory; John Hurt does look conceivably like an older Paul McGann in the few pictures I've seen. It also makes sense that John Hurt would be playing a Last Great Time War-era Doctor, since the Eleventh Doctor knew what this version of himself had done and why that version of himself was such a secret. The only thing we don't know is whether Trenzalore is meant to be in the Eleventh's future or past...or both...

Hi there,


== Multi-Doctor Story? ==
I must admit I don't know if there's a specific policy on this (thus I make a Talk rather than an edit) but from the logic of many other pages and by the fact that the First Doctor is featured in a NEW SPEAKING cameo, shouldn't he be in the "Featuring" list in the info box?
We have John Hurt introduced as the Doctor and he interacts with Eleven. Do we require a certain number of minutes of multi-Doctor interaction before we consider it a multi-Doctor story? [[User:Mewiet|Mewiet]] [[User talk:Mewiet|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:28, May 18, 2013 (UTC)
:There's also the scene with the First Doctor and Clara: "A multi-Doctor story is a story featuring two or more different incarnations of the Doctor. The list includes stories with flashback but excludes stories where the Doctor regenerates and stories featuring only pictures or archive footage of another incarnations." This scene is meant to be a flashback, new to viewers, and I thought that the scene with One and Susan walking into the TARDIS was shot with body doubles, not an archival clip.

== Tenth Doctor ==
I considered that it may be because he's not (fully) portrayed by his original actor - but then I checked The Five Doctors, and there's the First Doctor, even though he was played by another actor (in an extended role, I grant you).


Does the Tenth Doctor appear? The article says Clara sees him in the Library, but I've re-watched the pre-credits sequence and don't see it. Does it come later in the episode? --[[User:Btolsen|Btolsen]] [[User talk:Btolsen|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:58, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

Size of dead Tardis[[edit source]]

Hmm, I wonder how big the size-leaked TARDIS is. Is it big as a skyscraper? It obviously can't be "infinitely big". 71.127.132.70talk to me 22:05, April 22, 2014 (UTC)

First Doctor under "Featuring"?[[edit source]]

Hi there,

I must admit I don't know if there's a specific policy on this (thus I make a Talk rather than an edit) but from the logic of many other pages and by the fact that the First Doctor is featured in a NEW SPEAKING cameo, shouldn't he be in the "Featuring" list in the info box?

I considered that it may be because he's not (fully) portrayed by his original actor - but then I checked The Five Doctors, and there's the First Doctor, even though he was played by another actor (in an extended role, I grant you).

So what to do?The preceding unsigned comment was added by AssassinsMorten (talk • contribs) .
