    The reference to "The Curator" is double clever - In "The bells of St Johns" (where we first meet Clara and she doesn't die) there is a book seen called "Summer Falls" written by Amelia Williams (this is of course Mrs Amy Pond) - "Summer Falls" is available as an E-book from the Beeb and has a very "Doctor like" character in it who has retired and become a "Curator" of a Museum ...


    edited to say - I loved the anniversary - I though John Hurt was "Brilliant" and Billie Piper as NOT Rose also excellent - Not going to be deleted from the PVR for long time yet

    Role on xmas - hoping they do Re-gen early in Prog so we get to see Mr Capaldi in action before march next year ..

    I was so unimpressed that I had to go and dig up my old "Five Doctors" movie to make up for it. There were so many holes, and the fact that the current crew thinks its their responsibility and right to go back and change 50 years worth of canon is annoying. They were supposed to be celebrating 50 years, yet they refused to let the previous actors beyond the last 7 be in it (Ok. Tom Baker Cameo'd. Blah, blah.)

    Yes, the other actors were offended.

    It was fan-fiction.

    and of course figuring out how they get past 13.

    River gave up her regenerations to bring the Doctor back to life.

    gave the Master new regenerations

    These are my theories too!

    So does anyone know if they will re-broadcast it. My youngest loves the show and recorded it on the DVR, but the oldest "accidentally" deleted it. And now baby girl is devastated, and my house has become a war zone...

    HELP!

    River gave up her regenerations to bring the Doctor back to life. They will simply claim that she gave her's to the Doctor thus giving him a further 10 or 11 regenerations.

    Or of course as the last Time Lord he will seek out how they gave the Master new regenerations as he was originally on his last regeneration when he was introduced so there are ways and means :)

    Great special edition though. Especially the inclusion of a certain former Doctor. "Who know's" :wink:

    This was posted in a group on Facebook last week.

    "If you havn't seen Night Of The Doctor starring everyones lost Doctor Paul McGann spoilers.

    So "8" dies in the crash. The Sisterhood of Karn bring him back for only 4 minutes. They give him elixers that will give him abilities to regenerate. The on he chooses is the John Hurt serum making him the technical 9th War Doctor. Math incorrect. In the 4th Doctor era in the Brain Of Morbius, the Sisterhood in the episode explains that William Hartnall is not and I quote "NOT" the first Doctor. He was the 9th. Tom's was 12. But, the Sisterhood gave him a serum that healed him and broke Timelord laws allowing him to break free of the 12 regeneration thing so everything after Tom is actually miscounted. It goes exactly...
    1.?
    2.?
    3.?
    4.?
    5.?
    6.?
    7.?
    8.?
    9.William
    10.Patrick
    11.Jon
    12.Tom
    13.Peter
    14.Colin
    15.Sylvestor
    16.Paul
    17.John
    18.Christopher
    19.David
    20.Matt
    21.Peter (capaldi)

    Therefore, The Doctor would have regenerated 20 times (19 atm)

    "Ahead of that, Steven Moffat has been teasing things a little, while speaking at the Cheltenham Literature Festival. And he said of the Doctor that "he can only regenerate 12 times", adding that "I think you should go back to your DVDs and count correctly this time. There's something you've all missed"."

    But, looky! If the other doctors were offended, they did a very good job of turning it into comedy!
    I enjoyed it hugely. Any fans of the Classic Doctors should watch The Five(ish) Doctors too. Peter Davison wrote a spoof based around himself, Colin Baker, and Sylvester McCoy trying to get cameo roles in the anniversary special. Hilarious!

    NOOOOOOOOO! We can't watch it in the US! That is so wrong. Maybe I can find it on another site.

    ETA Woo Hoo! Found another link for it. It is hilarious.

    ^^ One UK link, and one US link. I think you'd enjoy this a lot, based on your post!

    I loved the special, but it just reignited my sadness at missing David Tennant's serious dark and twisty avenging Doctor. No one does the wrath of the Doctor like him.....just ask that Rabbit :)

    Then you've never seen Tom Baker eat jelly babies with menaces!

    :wink:

    You're not the only one who preferred Eccleston. Such a shame he wouldn't do more.
