But you have to admit, having the First, Second and Third Doctors in a multi-Doctor special would be a really good trick - considering William Hartnell passed away in 1975, Patrick Troughton in 1987, and Jon Pertwee in 1996...

Honestly, do tabloid journalists think Dr. Who fans are all stupid or something?

I totally agree. They journalists seem to think they'd use archive footage to represent the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Doctor's.

The closest we got to seeing "The Ten Doctors" was in the 2008 TV movie The Next Doctor when moving images of the Doctor's first 9 incarnations are projected on to a wall via the Dalek Info Stamp.

There are all sorts of ways it could be done now. Cheap options like just getting look-a-bit-likes (if you squint at the telly) like they did before for Doctor No.1. Archive footage... maybe used a bit like in the DS9 episode when they went back and visited the old Enterprise. Or CGI of course, like they did for Schwarz...er, Swarchs... Like they did for Arnie in the latest Terminator. Probably far too expensive for the BBC though, especially for a Children In Need episode.

Probably far too expensive for the BBC though, expecially for a Children In Need episode.

The limitation for a CiN episode seems to be - single set, minimum cast, little or no FX work, can be shot in a single day.

It's the beginning of the end of David Tennant's run on 'Doctor Who'
There are generally two categories of “Doctor Who” episodes: thrillers and adventures.

“The Next Doctor,” a “Doctor Who” special that airs this weekend (8 p.m. Central Saturday, BBC America), definitely falls in the latter category. Prepare yourself for a Dickensian romp complete with snow, street urchins and gentlemen in waistcoats.

Aside from a typically energetic and enjoyable performance by David Tennant as the Doctor, the best thing about this lightweight outing is the guest turn by David Morrissey (star of the original “State of Play” TV miniseries).

That's... That's actually the episode in a nutshell. Wow.
'Lightweight outing'. Must use that in the future.

However there's also the slightly moralistic consideration of whether it would be RIGHT to replace Docs 1-3. I know that at Big Finish they refuse to use sound-a-likes, and regard the Five Doctors as a one off success that should never be repeated.

We've kind of already had an epic multi-Doctor story.

Canadian writer/artist Rich Morris published "The Ten Doctors" story on his comixblog.

It was fantastic.

'Who' movie to be confirmed at Comic-Con?

A Doctor Who movie starring David Tennant will be announced at the Comic-Con event later this month, according to reports.

Speculation is growing that the BBC will confirm the big screen version at the five-day convention, which is held in San Diego, California. Tennant will be attending alongside departing executive producer Russell T Davies.

Previously, Tennant has revealed that he has signed up for an unidentified "sci-fi project", while Davies has hinted that an announcement of a "special project" would be coming soon, telling Doctor Who Magazine: "News as and when, but I can promise, it's worth waiting for."

Tennant's Doctor will regenerate at the end of three Doctor Who specials, the last of which airs early next year. Matt Smith will then assume the lead role.

A spokesperson for BBC Films has previously confirmed that a script for a Who movie is "in development".

"The Waters of Mars" will air sometime in November.

Possibly - and don't quote me on this, I'm just speculating - Saturday 21st November.

That being the Saturday closest to the anniversary date.
