The Five...err Four Doctors!

...That's when I found the first reference to the Six Doctors working title and - foolishly - assumed it was just a typo).

Oh please...

Have pity on an American Whovian and tell me...

Once C. Baker was on board, had they planned to do it AGAIN?

It certainly sounds interesting. I'd especially like to see how things would have turned out differently

I would too. Does anyone know whether the previous versions of the script still exist? Is there a chance we'd ever be able to read them, or are they lost to time?

Mr Awe

NOTHING is ever lost to time...

Except Gallifrey. (Which is where the scripts were probably stored.)

And the missing video tapes maybe?

No it is to do with Robert Holmes's original story which had the First Doctor being replaced by a robot duplicate.

Excepts from the original version of "The Five Doctors" exist in a copy of a booklet published in honor of the anniversary called, "The Making of the Five Doctors" and it was put out by either the BBC or the Dr. Who Fan Club of America...I don't remember which. The artwork on the cover is awesome and the title of the booklet is embossed in silver.

I've still got a copy of it somewhere....

No it is to do with Robert Holmes's original story which had the First Doctor being replaced by a robot duplicate.

And in keeping with the tradition of robot duplicates of the 1st Doctor, this one was distinguishable because he:
1. Actually remembered his lines.
2. Moved his lips completely independently of any words coming out.
3. Didn't look a thing like the Doctor!!!!!

Well, yes, it really is three Doctors, with stock footage of a Doctor and a guy pretending to be a Doctor. Whatever, it's the most Doctors we'll ever have onscreen.

Come on. It wasn't a guy pretending to be a Doctor. It was another actor playing the First Doctor.
