* 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).

* Despite being named in the opening credits, Paul McGann only appears in one scene. It is mentioned that although McGann is willing to join his fellow classic Doctors, he is unable to do so as he has other acting commitments. 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. | * 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]].
