Eccelston, Tennant, and Smith (presumably with Capaldi), all in 1 show?
Forget about it.
Frankly, despite the cameo, I don't see them having Smith back for a proper guest spot, not this year or next, because Capaldi needs his time in the spotlight.
That said - McGann I could see coming back... because to the new audience, he's just that guy from that prequel on YouTube... And thus I don't think would "steal" too much from Capaldi... (Well, he would, cos McGann's amazing... )back on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@The-Cosmic-Hobo
"How Doomsday Should Have Ended!" • "Bigger on the Inside?" • "The Doctor Falls - With Hartnell!"
"The War Games - In 10 Minutes" • "Announcement of Jon Pertwee's death" •
and lots more!

No, I mean a really, really good story that explores the show's past in its themes. Something like Survival."I have never understood why it should be necessary to become irrational in order to prove that you care... or why it should be necessary to prove it at all."

In fairness, the 10th anniversary of the relaunch is meaningless from an in-show perspective.
I have no interest in celebrating it. For those of us old-school fans, Doctor Who has been going for a lot longer. The relaunch was great and all, and has done a wonderful thing for the franchise, but it shouldn't receive a special episode tribute. At most, maybe a special episode of Doctor Who Confidential that brings together the production staff and actors for interviews, but NOT a special episode.

And as I said above, the story doesn't have to directly involve the show's past in its plot(perhaps a guest appearance of Jack Harkness), much less bring back any Doctors. It just has to be good, and kind of sum up our feelings about the return.
That's why I love Survival. Besides bringing back the Master, it's got really nothing to do with the show's history. But it's a great story, one that really explores the alien world and the relationship between the Doctor and his companion. Plus, there's a moment where the Doctor tries to bash the Master's head in, which coincidentally matches a similar scene in the very first story of the programme.
I want the 10th anniversary to be something akin to that."I have never understood why it should be necessary to become irrational in order to prove that you care... or why it should be necessary to prove it at all."

Though I could accept a Trials and Tribbleations style ep focusing on the S1's 'Rose'.

The first thought that comes to mind is that its too soon after doing the 50th. It would seem like they would just be trying to cash in.
2nd thought is that it would just be the 50th all over because Eccelston wouldn't show for it and it would probably just screw up the shows continuity even more.
3rd thought it is just another stake to separate the Old Fans from the NuFans.I like Sharky

It needn't be anything special but let them mark it by doing something special by all means... Just hopefully not something as cheesey as they did for Journey's End. A new series villain return would be cool too. Preferably one from season 1.Please do me a huge favour and help me be with the love of my life.
