* Classic Doctor [[Tom Baker]] does not appear in the film (although [[Jon Culshaw]] provides a voice over cameo). Baker actually appeared in ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'' as the [[Curator (The Day of the Doctor)|Curator]]. Davison said in an interview that he contacted Tom three times to see if he wanted to do it, but he got no reply back. This parallels a similar situation in the original ''The Five Doctors'' when Baker declined to participate. In both cases, his presence was provided by way of footage from [[TV]]: ''[[Shada (TV story)|Shada]]''. | * Classic Doctor [[Tom Baker]] does not appear in the film (although [[Jon Culshaw]] provides a voice over cameo).

This may be a possible reference as to why he did not have a bigger part in the film, as well as his appearance in [[TV]]: ''[[The Night of the Doctor (TV story)|The Night of the Doctor]]''. | * Despite being named in the opening credits, Paul McGann only appears in one scene.

* As both [[Patrick Troughton]] and [[Jon Pertwee]] had died before production they obviously do not appear, but are represented by their sons, [[Sean Pertwee]], and [[David Troughton]]. As such the only actor to portray the Doctor in the classic era not to be represented is [[William Hartnell]], who likewise did not appear in the original ''[[Five Doctors]]'' story. | |||
