Doctor Who ‘The Day Of The Doctor’: 5 Things We’d Like To See (And 5 We Wouldn’t)

8. We Would Like: To Find Out If The War Doctor Counts

Doctor Who 50th Hurt Doctor One of the most exciting things to come out of the 50th Anniversary is the appearance of John Hurt's character The War Doctor. Moffat has been adamant that the appearance of this character does not change the numbering of the Doctors €“ that is, Matt Smith is still the 11th Doctor and Peter Capaldi is still going to be the 12th. That raises some really interesting questions about who the hell The War Doctor is and how the Doctor can discount one of his regenerations €“ is this going to give us some clue as to how Peter Capaldi might be able to break the 12 regeneration limit? Similarly, acting royalty John Hurt is going to be a wonderfully dark foil for the two other Doctors featured. From his brief appearance at the end of the last season and the suggestions from the trailers and posters, the War Doctor is going to be involved in the story of the time war, which should provide plenty of material to explore the darker side of the Doctor.
