My wife was freaking out --She is the major Doctor Who fan and she was flipping out at 4 doctors in one show NOT to mention the the last shot of all the doctors which she is wondering was the actual actors or just images imposed.

[muriel_volestrangler]

1. The first 3 actors are all dead

So it's manipulated images of them, at least; and the other earlier ones have aged a fair amount - it's over 30 years since Tom Baker stopped doing it.

[diabeticman]

2. Still he looked pretty good for 80.

[blogslut]

3. I squealed when the "curator" spoke.

I knew who it was just from the voice - that's how much Tom Baker's Doctor has stuck with me all these years. He showed that's he's still the kookiest Doctor.

[diabeticman]

4. for my wife and I Tenant is our doctor but we started watching it when it came back. My wife has

manage to find a few episodes of Baker's Doctor on you tube.

[blogslut]

5. Oh, they're terribly dated

...and the special effects are just awful. But, back then, it was just so fun and wacky and Baker made it grand.

[mucifer]

9. Noooo! I disagree. The best Dr. Who episodes have tin foil as special effects!

I had a HUGE Tom Baker crush in high school.

[WolverineDG]

6. I did too

I was expecting another Hartnell stand-in, but NO!! Tom Baker! :fan girl scream:

And just how funny was the fan-girl cos-play character?

[blogslut]

7. Ha!

"Nice scarf".

[dipsydoodle]

11. I noticed that throw away line.

I'd love to have been in Trafalgar Square when they filmed that.

[Vashta Nerada]

8. The whole canon of the show has changed.

Now that Gallifrey isn't stopped in the Time War (via The Moment), looks like Matt Smith's Doctor will be visiting Gallifrey in the Christmas special.

And am I the only one who totally geeked out when Peter Capaldi's Doctor was one of the Doctors helping out with saving Gallifrey?

[blogslut]

10. I might start watching Who again for Capaldi.

I dig him.

[Still Blue in PDX]

21. Me too - I had pretty much given up during the Pond years.

I could just about tolerate Matt Smith once he revealed that Patrick Troughton was the inspiration for all that hand flapping that he does.

I was disappointed that although John Hurt's eyes turned blue during the regeneration his ears didn't change! Even if he didn't appear, I wanted more of a nod to the Christopher Eccleston regeneration.

[bobduca]

25. Supposedly those were Eccleston's eyes in the last few frames of Hurt's regeneration

according to the Doctor-Who-Zapruder-film-analyst contingent.

[Still Blue in PDX]

26. Good. Thought they may have been, but ears would have made it obvious! Love the ears. nt

12. How NOT to do time travel, courtesy of the BBC satellite linkup at the after-show party

"fingers crossed, this is all going to go well...". Stephen Moffat literally has his head in his hands by the end ...

[bobduca]

17. Timey wimey!

Matt Smith flipped them a V during the intro. LOL

[Vashta Nerada]

13. Is Paul McGann and John Hurt both still counted as the 8th Doctor?

Or is John Hurt the 9th Doctor?

[diabeticman]

16. My wife was looking at Wikipedia and it listed Hurt as the War Doctor between 8 and 9

[pokerfan]

22. John Hurt has been added to the lineup

[Vashta Nerada]

23. Steven Moffat cleared it up here:

“I’ve been really, really quite careful about the numbering of the Doctors,” he said. “He’s very specific, the John Hurt Doctor, that he doesn’t take the name of the Doctor. He doesn’t call himself that. He’s the same Time Lord, the same being as the Doctors either side of him, but he’s the one who says, ‘I’m not the Doctor.’ So the Eleventh Doctor is still the Eleventh Doctor, the Tenth Doctor is still the Tenth…”

[pokerfan]

24. Clear as mud

but I don't mind. Timey wimey wibbly wobbly....

[Still Blue in PDX]

27. Exactly right! nt

[HipChick]

14. I started watching Dr.Who when I was a little girl..

I about screamed when Tom Baker showed up tonight..

[KatyaR]

15. Oh, me, too...

I bawled like a baby. How wonderful was he? And I screamed seeing those tiny bits of Capaldi.

All in all, I thought it was grand. It definitely changes the show, hopefully it will last for a long, long time.

GALLIFREY STANDS!!!

[Vashta Nerada]

18. Notice there were only 13 Doctors helping save Gallifrey?

I wonder what's going to happen after Peter Capaldi's regeneration...?

[Paulie]

19. Put the 6th doctor on trial.

[Still Blue in PDX]

28. He did reveal that he was in it (bad boy!), but I still got chills and squeed out loud. nt

[Dr. Strange]

20. The Curator looked an awful lot like an older version of the Fourth Doctor.

And what is a curator? A curator is someone who oversees, or watches, an important collection.

So, Tom Baker was playing a Watcher. Hmmm...
