It's just like Moffat to see everyone asking for a black/female Doctor so be gives them a black Master instead.

The rumor of a two Doc special was around as of like six months ago, iirc. Hopefully that picture will make it true.

I would do unspeakable things if it guaranteed an 8/12 two Doctor special. I'm guessing it wouldn't be a regular episode, which probably means a webisode of some type, which means probably a few minutes at best. I'll take it.

Yeah, with Paul McGann returning to our screens in 2013 and regenerating into John Hurt of all people, I'm not willing to completely dismiss anything out of hand. I don't think 8 returning again (to team up with 12 or otherwise) is likely, but its certainly possible.

What I think is most likely, if they're filming new Eight material, is a webisode or two, likely something that will coincide with the new season (e.g., if Capaldi is fighting the Daleks, Eight will be dealing with the Daleks, etc.).

I'd be the first to beg for another McGann story onscreen, but I'm guessing that's a shot taking during Night of the Doctor. The way he's standing, it's almost like they were originally planning to have him regenerate inside the TARDIS. That, or he took advantage of being at the studio and just got his photo snapped on the set.

Wasn't the regeneration short just on iPlayer? If his big death scene doesn't even make it to tv, they aren't going to do a proper episode with McGann.

He's a good actor, obviously enjoys the role or he wouldn't do Big Finish, and has stated that he would consider any offers if the script was good. It would be a massively wasted opportunity not to utilise the the 8th Doctor in some way in the actual broadcast show, especially while he still looks young enough to get away with it. Saying that we've just had a multi Doctor story, and the writers may not want to go in that direction again so soon. I'd chew off my own legs for an 8th Doctor miniseries though.

We can complain about fanwankery and all that, but fanwankery often draws in viewers. Special episodes and multidoc stories get Doctor Who mentioned in blogs, discussion forums, and even newspapers more than it otherwise would. Take advantage of McGann while you can. He's pretty much as far back as you can reasonably go at this point. (Well, except for using David Bradley as 1. Which they absolutely should also do.)

It would still make a good episode, even two parter and generate some hype. I could imagine something like the events that started the time war in the first place.

It's sort of hilarious to me that the Time War would have an "opening shot". Even actual wars usually have insanely complex networks of causes, and they don't even muck about with causality. I wouldn't be surprised if the Time War was caused by the Time Lords, the Daleks, three other events which all caused each other, and also, almost certainly, by the Time War. qntm fucked around with this message at 15:10 on Mar 13, 2014 |

Yeah, but it was the first time that the Time Lords used time travel attempting to change the Dalek's history. I am sure there was bullshit leading up to the attempt, but that was the shootin an ostrich moment.
