Paul McGann finally returned to the screen as the Eighth Doctor in 2013, when he reprised the role in ''[[The Night of the Doctor (TV story)|The Night of the Doctor]]''. Though it was only a brief outing, the mini-episode allowed him a chance to at last depict his [[regeneration]] story. Following this, he bragged that [[Colin Baker]] was now the only previous Doctor to have never filmed his regeneration sequence, due to his forced dismissal from the role, which was later rendered a moot point when Baker himself recorded his regeneration in the audio anthology ''[[The Sixth Doctor: The Last Adventure]]'' released in 2015. During his regeneration story, McGann also briefly portrayed the newly regenerated War Doctor, making him one of two actors to have technically portrayed two different incarnations of the Doctor (the other being his predecessor Sylvester McCoy, who similarly briefly played the Sixth Doctor during his regeneration sequence). | Paul McGann finally returned to the screen as the Eighth Doctor in 2013, when he reprised the role in ''[[The Night of the Doctor (TV story)|The Night of the Doctor]]''.
