I'd rather see a multi Doc with McGann! Bradley or not the First Doctor has plenty of on screen time, so more on screen time for an original Doctor please. The First Doctor really seems like the right Doctor for this story though. As the Twelfth Doctor is dealing with the fact that he has to regenerate again, he is reminded of how scared he was before his first regeneration. The circumstances behind Eight's regeneration were very different. He wasn't afraid to regenerate. He actually wanted to change and become somebody else, because it was too painful to be the Doctor. All good points, Tim, however my comment is directed at the choice of Doctor in any multi Doctor story to be 8, rather than a comment on this particular story. |

There's been speculation that Gatiss may be playing WWI veteran Gilbert MacKenzie Trench, who certainly fits all the hints dropped.

That's a brilliant idea; however, it doesn't look like he was a Captain. He was gazetted as a 2nd Lieutenant in 1915 (on probation) and I can't find any references to his having been further promoted. |

The one question I've had since seeing the end of the last episode, and now seeing the trailer reminded me. Isn't 12 kneeling in front of his Tardis when 1 comes upon him in the snow and claims that he's the THE Doctor? Does he not see a big blue police box standing next to this chap in snow? And doesn't he know that it isn't his own?
Anyway, I agree with all points made so far. Carry on.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

Ohh, dear!
We are know going to have the First Doctor in new scenes starting to glow, and holding back the regeneration.
We also have the decrepit First Doctor somehow leaving the South base in episode 3 of Tenth Planet, fit enough to join a decrepit 13th Doctor, and have a whole new adventure together, and return to the base undetected for episode 4!
The First Doctor looks very spry in the clip!
I'm not a fan of Mark Gatiss in his comical moustache, and Bill should never have returned. She had her happy farewell, have done with it!

Why couldn't they have used the Third Doctor? He was lost in the vortex at the end of Planet of the Spiders. Surely, an adventure could have taken place between Metebelis 3 and UNIT HQ! |

Because they chose not to. Peter C is a huge fan of The First Doctor, and Steven Moffat is writing the episode. It isn't something that will bother/concern/make any difference to anyone other than those fans with a memory of The Tenth Planet anyway. And those who like to complain about everything, of course. |

What makes you think he's doing anything during episode 3? He was asleep during episode 3. Ben was with him while he was sleeping. This is going to be set after he leaves the Cybership at the end of episode 4, but before he gets to the TARDIS. Remember how he left ahead of Ben and Polly, and then left them locked outside of the TARDIS? |

Must have been influenced by "Doctor Whos first plot hole", as written in a Radio Times artice. (The "gap" when Hartnell took ill)! But, still a decrepit Doctor with enough energy for another adventure! |

I'm guessing that the regeneration energy will have healed him enough so that he can have an adventure, but won't have turned him into Patrick Troughton yet. |

Why couldn't they have used the Third Doctor? Because they don't already have a potential third Doctor actor 'on their books', so to speak. Mark Gatiss never looked much like Jon Pertwee and Sean P. has said he'd never play the third Doctor. I'm not aware of any other candidates. |

He was Capaldis favourite! He's mine too, so I'd rather they left the Third Doctor alone. |
