That was a pretty awesome closing shot I thought.

Reading the discussion here and in other places, it really does show me just how gaping the holes are in my knowledge of Doctor Who; I've seen a stack of episodes in my life but the vast majority have been out of sequence, with most of Tennant's & Eccelston's tenures being literally all over the place.
(I made a concerted effort to see Smith's properly, episode for episode as it aired )

I WILL have to fix that.

Most of my exposure had been from re-runs during the early 90s of Tom Baker's run (So was really chuffed to see his cameo, being MY first Doctor ), with spatterings of Dalek & Cybermen themed Jon Pertwee stories rented on VHS from Civic Video!

The Valeyard seems like it'd be a hard thing to tackle at this point (Had to do a wiki search on that one, ), at least on-screen without having another "Multi-Doctor" episode to deal with it, so perhaps it's a story better leant to an Animated or Audio-based story?
...Also, I thought that a recent retcon at some point had dispelled the hard-rule of only 13 regenerations?

Finally, on Eccelston: I really can't say I missed him at all, however great it might've been for him to be at least present in order to be regenerated into; I caught very little of his tenure and to be honest he never felt like "The Doctor" to me, he felt more like someone pretending to be the Doctor as opposed to actually being the Doctor, you know what I mean? - Does that make sense?

That said, I do want to go back and see his & Tennant's tenure properly, in full, as it seems there's a number of great stories I've missed out on between them for one reason or another.
(I REALLY want to see more of Troughton's era too, however many Eps are lost to time )




P.S. Peter Davison's "The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot" was hilariously brilliant and got far more people involved than I had even considered it would've!
