Doctor Who: Seven Doctors for BBC Charity Episode

Doctor Who fanatics (Who-heads, Whosians, et al) are probably already aware of the news, but news has been released that the seven surviving doctors will appear in one show to be broadcast November 17th for BBC’s Children in Need charity. The seven Doctors appearing would be David Tennant (10th doctor), Christopher Eccleston (9th), Paul Mcgann (8th), Sylvestor McCoy (7th), Colin Baker (6th), Peter Davision (5th), and perhaps my favorite, Tom Baker (4th). For those wanting to match faces, the image to the right is clockwise in order. Baker has the scarf, Tennant in the brown vest.

Although it would be nice to see all the doctors play a lead role in the episode, I imagine they will be introduced as former reincarnations and will play a brief part. Last year’s Children in Need mini-episode, Time Crash, featured David Tennant and Peter Davison. I was reminded of the episode The Three Doctors, which featured the first three doctors (William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee) in a four-part series celebrating Doctor Who’s 10-year anniversary.

Hopefully the Doctors can live up to their old images in order to keep the hardcore fans at ease and spark interest in the newer ones. Let me suggest for all to watch The Three Doctors before the November 17th broadcasting to show appreciation to all ten doctors.
