Does To Sleep, Perchance to Scream count? Ten is reassured by Eleven in a dream that they're going to be okay. One, Two and Three are probably the equivalent of photos, but Eleven speaks to Ten in his dreams. NileQT87 08:37, November 20, 2010 (UTC)
Multiples of the same Doctor...[[edit source]]
A thought just occurred to me. Should we include Time on here as well (where the 11th Doctor briefly met another 11th Doctor)? And therefore other stories where the Doctor travels along his own timeline, albeit in the same incarnation. Episodes dealing with the Pandorica business comes to mind, but I'm sure there might be some examples from earlier Doctors, and especially in some of the many non-televised stories.--99.29.140.149 06:13, March 26, 2011 (UTC)
- Absolutely not. That's not at all the common definition of a "multi-Doctor story", and it will be confusing to categorise, for instance, Journey's End or Father's Day as a "multi-Doctor story". The term, by long-tradition, refers to multiple incarnations in the same narrative. It doesn't mean, "that time in Day of the Daleks when the Third Doctor briefly caused a time loop and there were multiple versions of himself and Jo in the UNIT lab. Now, if we were writing an article about the term, of course we would take a moment to linger on this "multiple versions of the same Doctor" story type. But even then, we'd do so only to rule it outside the normal confines of the term "multi-Doctor story". With categories, there's no opportunity to define a term; it's just a label.

Timewyrm: Revelation[[edit source]]
Should this count as a multi-doctor story? There are all but the Sixth appearing, but all of them except the Seventh are within the Doctor's mind. I could go either way on it... thoughts? Monkey with a Gun 05:58, August 17, 2011 (UTC)
