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.

Multi-Doctor Story?

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? Mewiet 23:28, May 18, 2013 (UTC)
