Is it me or have we never seen the Eighth Doctor regenerate?(NO). If yes how? Did he collapse in the TARDIS whilst escaping Gallifrey.Did he get killed by a fellow Time Lord or was he EXTERMINATED!!! by the Daleks.Or did the Eighth Doctor ever regenerate??? Is the New Series Doctor's an Imposter Time Lord(probably not), or has he been duplicated into 2 or 3 bodies. These minght be wild accusations, but I would love to hear other people's predictions.

And if you read 'Sally Sparrow' in the annual he had a sword fight with some Sontarans on a rooftop in Istanbul, also presumably before 'Rose'. Though of course any or all of these things could have happened while Rose was washing her hair or snoozing or in the gap between her refusing to join him and his return seconds later.

It would be good if Big Finish and the BBC got together for a multi-media Time War series:
- Pull together the Gallifrey, Dalek and Eighth Doctor spin-offs for a big audio build up to the start of hostilities(i.e. one or more full length plays for each series as events come into place and a final play drawing all the elements together)
- a major graphic novel series for the war itself (only because it would be cheaper than a tv show to visualise such a ferocious event and I don't think the BBC are into this retro Who stuff) during which Eight becomes Nine
-some spin-off comic strips (and/or 9th Doctor PDA novels and/or 9th Doctor audios) for the early days of the Ninth Doctor as he starts to come to terms with whatever it was that he did and the repercussions of the war are felt around the universe.
It would be truly epic, relatively cheap to produce and massively satisfying. Well, for me at least. And then they can put the whole lot in a TARDIS shaped box and sell it again at Christmas. I'd buy it.

Not very likely though, is it? (sigh)

I'd like to see a movie or - even better - a mini-series about the Time War.

According to the notes in the 8th Doctor graphic novel 'The Flood' the whole regeneration sequence was offered to the DWM strip by RTD but they turned it down because it would have meant killing off his companion Destrii and they wouldn't be allowed to show the 9th Doctor's face (RTD sugggested a story where his regeneration didn't settle and he had no face). They settled for an open (and happy) ending instead.

If RTD sticks with his original vision (but he doesn't have to because it has never been explicitly shown) then the 8th Doctor's regeneration was before the Time War, which presumably evolved over a period of time and lasted for a while, so the 9th Doctor could have years' worth of stories if and when the rights to his incarnation become available to someone like Big Finish. That might be when the regeneration is revealed, albeit in a novel, comic, audio or short story.

The Paul McGann Eighth Doctor has not regenerated. The third Ninth Doctor could very well be a clone or a resurrected Doctor. (his age is a dead giveaway) The Gallefrey Chronicles does mention three ninth incarnations. Also, like the Eighth Doctors continuing life, we have seen absolutely no evidence what so ever that Gallefrey was ever restored after the Gallefrey Chronicles. Frankly I hope they never kill him off. Davies' Who threw a wrench in years of an ongoing Doctor Who storyline. I prefer to keep the New Series separated as much as possible from the ongoing Paul McGann adventures and most of the Classic era. |

I agree, it is better perhaps to keep the two projects seperate from one another. Still, I would not say no if McGann was somehow a part of the big anniversary celebrations in 2013. I would watch with excitement and enjoy every minute of it.
Along with seeing Carole Ann Ford and Tom Baker back in an episode, McGann has the strongest fanbase crying out for such a thing.
