Maybe it's [sp]another timelord who escaped the war, and the Ninth Doctor stole his coat or something?[/sp] :v:
Okay Hurt may not be The Doctor. Panic over.
[sp]Other than the jacket his outfit seems to be very Victorian. It's possible he's playing Dr John Dee. Is somebody on set heard him being called 'Doctor' and saw him in the leather coat then this is probably where the rumour came from. He's wearing very Victorian clothes under the coat, the coat itself is probably a reference to Nine. Just like another character is wearing a reference to Four.[/sp]

Hair is also mullet like at the back. Seems to be Series 2 Tennant.
Was hoping it would be Series 4 Tennant but he had shorter spikier hair.

[QUOTE=Grizz;40320110]That picture...
[sp]Hurt's outfit is almost an evolution of 8 to 9. Could he just be playing a very old 8 under some circumstance... which would allow Paul McGann to have filmed in secret.[/sp][/QUOTE]
If this is the case then [sp]Paul could play an older 8. Because he's older. And was 8.[/sp]

It was good to see these quotes together on Moffat's views of Multi-Doc.
[QUOTE]There’s no rule against it, there’s no law against it. But it would have to be a good enough story. The thing about Time Crash is, I mean, the thing about the novelty value, or the stunt value of having two Doctors on the screen at the same time is, I think, the idea of the amount of time you get, the amount of energy you get of that is eight minutes, that’s why Time Crash is great. Because you’ve just got that fun and then it stops. And at a certain point, the plot has got to kick in. You have to say, “Why is it interesting that this man is having this adventure several—from his point of view—several times.” Why is that interesting? If that question can be answered, I can answer that question, someone else can answer that question, then it’s a possibility. I’m not ravingly keen. One of the things I always worry about, especially those titles—The Three Doctors, The Five Doctors, The Two Doctors—there is only one Doctor. It’s the same man, he just changes his look. It’s one man. And I don’t like the idea of playing the game of saying that he’s ten men, he’s not ten men, he’s one man who gets a refit now and then.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]It’s slightly difficult to do them all now. I’m not against it but I think as a gimmick it outlives its usefulness quite fast. Doing Time Crash with 8 minutes of Peter and David was about right. If you have a really good story that motors on the fact that this is one man experiencing the same adventure at several different points of his life, that would be worth doing. But you can’t do a special or an episode as a reunion party. That’s not a story, that’s a party. Nothing wrong with parties but they’re not great fun to watch. But with a really good story, then yes.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE][b]Russell T Davies told us he thought he could never make a multi-Doctor story work, but that Steven Moffat could. Do you think you could?[/b]
I can absolutely do eight minutes! And I think anyone can make eight minutes work, including Russell. I saw that quote and it’s rubbish. Of course he could have written that. It’s not that hard. I think to make a story that’s interesting, in a timey-wimey way, the star of the story would not be all of the Doctors getting together to fight a great big menace. That’s nonsense – it’s just the same man, several times over. Why would he need other versions of himself? That’s not relevant. [b]But to have him encounter the same events at several different points in his own life would be interesting.[/b] It is odd because they’re not quite the same personality. I’m absolutely not against it, but I’ve never personally thought of a story that would justify it completely for me. I think Russell’s made this point already, but he’s absolutely right – those stories are nobody’s favourites. Everyone looks forward to them more than they look back on them.[/QUOTE]

Is 11's TARDIS bigger as well, or is Matt Smith just short?
Bigger. Matt is ever so slightly taller than Tennant I think

Okay Trackboy (100% reliable) has spoke on the John Hurt situation.
When somebody said "I think we're having our chain yanked" he responded:
[quote][sp]Your not. Believe every word of it.[/sp][/quote]
Apparently Moffats story needs [sp]3 modern doctors and when Chris dropped out Hurt was dropped in. I think it's a bit rubbish really. The casual audience doesn't know Hurt any more/less than McGann who could've been used instead.[/sp]
[editline]18th April 2013[/editline]
Moffats general attitude is that children don't know much about the classic series so it should be mostly ignored. He believes that Doctor Who should feel like it's only been around a couple of years, it should always feel new.
What a load of shit. The BBC has released posters, cups, lunch boxes, stamps, and action figures this year with all Eleven doctors on. Children know there are other Doctors. When I was a kid watching it I knew there were OTHER Doctors. He's completely underestimating his audience.
Also time to return those cups, posters, and lunch boxes because they're [sp]fucking missing a Doctor[/sp].

AHA! Now you know how I feel.
All aboard the disappointrain. Population: hnnnnng why.
We're treating this as though any change will be permanent.
It's Steven Moffat.
I'm also not disappointed by any supposed lack of acknowledgement of the Classic Series in his Who. We're buried under it. There's still the 'reliable' note that [sp]old Doctors are stll appearing and linked to Smith's paintings clue.[/sp]
This sounds like a pile of shit
Why does everything Moffat touches has that hamfisted "I CHANGED STUFF" feeling on it, sometimes just so he can say "IT'S MINDBENDING!"? Like, Bells of Saint John was straight up the simplest episode he has ever written. No huge-ass changes to canon or anything like that.
Anyway, that's enough for me, for now. I'm remembering why I tried 'just watching' what I don't have the power to change.

So let me get this straight
[sp]Moffats story needed three Doctors to work. When one dropped out he replaced it with an actor to play the older version of a doctor that has physically aged and would fit the part now and waves it away with "it was pretty bad so he forgot"?[/sp]
What the fuck. If he just [sp] cast McGann, he wouldn't have fucked up the entire continuity of the show. [/sp]
Fiftieth anniversary my ass, it just feels like this is Moffat Hour; tune in in November to be blown away by Moffat's intelligence.
God damn it.
I had a strange dream involving the last 5 doctors and Hartnell. They were in the TARDIS and there was this dark looming atmosphere over everything, like something terrible had happened. 6 was leaning over the console, angry. 7 walked up to him and patted his back. 8 stood in a corner staring blankly. 9 was looking at 10 and 11 was sitting down trying to get things straight in his head.
And Hartnell's Doctor was standing at the side, near the entrance with his mouth open in confusion.
And nobody said a single word. The only sound was the humming of the engines.
It was all very oddly scary and depressing.

its actually so stupid that I do not believe it is going to happen exactly how it is

Out of curiosity, how does this sound?
[sp]"Well Christopher Eccleston can't do it... let's get the acting legend that is John Hurt in as replacement while I quickly rewrite this."[/sp]
Not buying it.
:)
As a kid I've always had a weird idea about a multi-doctor story where two doctors are trapped in a maze of some sorts with dangers that came from their era's. For the audience they appear onscreen, but not together.
One powerful monster is controlling the maze as they go, but each Doctor doesn't know that one of themselves are in the same place. So when they explore they never come into contact with each other and never know it's actually them working together.
But as they progress through the maze then they come across obstacles and dangers around every corner, but every time one doctor is successful with one puzzle, the other is suddenly put in danger unaware of who is putting them in danger.
Sounds pretty silly, huh?
I'd imagine Omega or someone would do a maze like this.

Err... It looks like a mutated Hartnell costume.
[editline]18th April 2013[/editline]
Also is "Hide" the episode where [sp]Matt runs about with previous Doctors costumes?[/sp]
Ten things about "Hide" AKA Doctor Who meets Paranormal Activity, Blair Witch and Insidious etc.
[sp]
1. The Doctor's catchphrase is back!
2. "Nice noun. Excellent verb."
3. The cloister bell tolls...
4. "I dispute that assertion!"
5. Citizens of an urban settlement in Cumbria may have reason to feel offended.
6. "Your pants are so on fire!"
7. What are the other ten disgusting things, Clara?
8. "She never changes."
9. Someone has a warning for Clara about her new Time Lord friend.
10. "Experience makes liars of us all." [/sp]
Now some things that may or not have already been said:- Daleks and Cybermen have been teased to be in the Anniversary, along with Ingrid Oliver who has been spotted wearing [sp] 4th's scarf [/sp] Ken Bones as [sp]The General[/sp] and Orlando James as [sp] Lord Bentham [/sp]
I have a feeling along with Peter Davison that the remaining Doctors won't receive a call or a script until the last minute to keep it all a secret. But Moffat has stated the 50th is celebrating the future of Who not the past. Maybe I'm just being hopeful.
Also I'd like to see more episodes by Tom McRae and Toby Whithouse, both of them are my favourite Who writers and they've all made brilliant episodes. Anyone else agree?
Sonic Screwdriver fans be ready!

look i'm sorry
that screw driver has to go
[editline]18th April 2013[/editline]
there's your "I'VE CHANGED EVERYTHING", Moffat. Get rid of it and get a plot that can't be fixed or requires external information that is deduced by the magic wand that is the sonic screwdriver and right something non-didactic. though the episode itself doesn't seem too bad. I'm feeling uneasily optimistic about it. I get a Dinosaurs On A Spaceship vibe from it, somehow. I loved that episode.
Dougray Scott is in Saturday's episode? He's from the same little town as me :D
[QUOTE=Grizz;40325243]Sonic Screwdriver fans be ready!
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPgm9A2QUg4[/media][/QUOTE]
Goddamn that thing is still as beautiful as when it was introduced in S5
The prop designer really hit the nail on the head on that sonic and I don't think I will ever get over it.
i see that you rated my opinion dumb in regards to the sonic; it's not the design. It looks sexy. It's just that it allows for very lazy writing. You can't have the plot develop at a natural pace with the way it's being used nowadays. Tom Baker in [I]The Invasion of Time[/I] uses it once when locked in a room, and then that's it. He doesn't figure out who's behind the conspiracy, he doesn't use it to stop the teleporters from moving in and out (though this is nifty and I like it). The writers actually had to use their minds to come up with an interesting concept that is difficult to get out of that flows at a natural pace that is genuinely fun, emotional, intelligent and great to watch. With the writing it has, it's used as a magic wand that fixes any problem so that only emotional endings based on the POWAH OF LUV that we are familiar with now gets the tumblr fans going. What happened to using it to explode barrels behind you while running from an enemy? It's gone from practical to a source of information to move the plot at an inconsistent pace. Combine this with the fact that there aren't any two-parters this series and it's hard to find something that fulfills the above criteria to really interest me.
This is all me, by the way. I think it looks sexy, but it's allowed for some shoddy writing with its abuse.
I understood you meant the constant use of it but I feel like I the preview clip it's used okay. It is partially a scanner, I like that idea. The only time I feel it's been used as a "magic wand" was in Rings of Akhenaten when he used it to keep a stone door up. I don't feel it's been used too much at all.
But that's just me though.
[editline]18th April 2013[/editline]
And the "POWAH UV LAHV" hasn't been used as religiously either, from my recalling? It was most apparent in Closing Time, if anything.
Victorian Clara in the Crimson Horror????
i agree that the sonic needs to go, or just be restricted to doors. Because its now the Doctors get out of jail free card, and is a victim of lazy writing. If Moffat said "no sonic", writers would be forced to use the Doctors seemingly infinite intellect to get him out of situations. Which would be awesome.
