The Night Of The Doctor is Here – But Which Doctor?
The Night Of The Doctor
The Bringer of Darkness, the Oncoming Storm, the Doctor, the Warrior – A Time Lord! The 50th Anniversary features Matt Smith, David Tennant and a mysterious incarnation played by John Hurt. Only one appears in the mini episode, The Night Of The Doctor. But which?

November 17th, 2013 - 8:05amBooboo have I got this right?:
John hurt is NOT the doctor, as we all know the doctor is a time lord. He chose the name ‘the doctor’ because he helps people. The incarnation of this particular time lord chose to go to war. This is not seen as helping people, which is why matt smith said ‘not in the name of the doctor’ this shows he did a sin and is not classed as ‘The Doctor’
So on this time lord there have been twelve(thirteen include peter capaldi) different faces but only eleven(twelve including peter capaldi) are called the doctor!

November 17th, 2013 - 12:32amI love the movie and this but could not imagine a series in the movie style, I think it was good that it never took off because it probably would not of lasted a long as the 2005 reboot has

November 16th, 2013 - 5:45pmI think it was a really good idea to keep his regeneration a secret until now, as more people would see it.

November 16th, 2013 - 5:44pmI dont understand what people have against the Movie. SFX had something about Paul McGann saying it wasn’t great.
I thought that it was great to have a Movie about him, even if he didn’t have episodes.

November 16th, 2013 - 4:15pmI’d love them to do loads of shorts containing the 8th Doctor- and why not? They’d only have to do one now and again…and how VERY happy us die-hard whovians would be!

November 16th, 2013 - 2:32pmPaul McGann is such an amazing actor, it would be so sad if Steven Moffat didn’t give him his own 8th Doctor spin-off series. Deffenatly going to buy the 8th Doctor audio plays by Big Finish now thier cannon with the show! 🙂

November 16th, 2013 - 12:23pmI totally agree….Lets ask them to do a McGann Special
Derek Browell
November 16th, 2013 - 12:20pmYes I aggree. I didn’t like that particular Baker episode for the same reason….Too much like Harry Potter
Derek Browell
November 16th, 2013 - 12:18pmYes, I agree. Lets have a special…..it could provide a break for Peter C ,once he starts his run….
Derek Browell
November 16th, 2013 - 12:14pmAggreed….Paul deserves at the very least another special.Lets get everyone on board for this.

November 16th, 2013 - 10:32amI think it’s safe to say that in 17 years Paul McGann hasn’t changed 🙂

November 15th, 2013 - 7:17pmI love the costume. I think it’s time for a new series with the eighth doctor, but he needs more! It’s time he had more of an opportunity to be let out of his magical blue box again! And I’m ecstatic that he mentioned Lucy, Molly,Tamsim, and others because that makes the audio adventures link with the series!

November 15th, 2013 - 7:09pmWhat a shame Paul Mcgann is not in The Day of the Doctor. He is up there with the best of them . This is a brilliant mini episode and makes you want to see more of him.

November 15th, 2013 - 7:04pmIt would be more logical to use John Hurt’s new TARDIS from the 50th, as he is between Paul and Chris.

November 15th, 2013 - 6:58pmthere needs to be more eighth doctor episodes,they can use the nineth/tenth doctors tardis whose to say he didn’t change it.also the new series doesn’t have to feature all the new twelth doctor,why not put in a few eighth doctor travels or film it and show it as as a spin off like the sarah jane series,THE EIGHTH DOCTOR ADVENTURES.

November 15th, 2013 - 5:41pmThis was brilliant!
