Two Regenerations in the Anniversary Year
In an interview for Doctor Who TV Steven Moffat answered a question in a way that made me wonder about something. The red text is mine for emphasis.
Q: Finally, running a show like Doctor Who is always going to be hard work… But how much fun was it? Bringing back the Eighth Doctor?
SM: Oh, it was a complete treat! It was always frustrating that we never got to see more of him! The completist in me… the ‘box set man’ in me wants every box ticked and I wanted every regeneration scene! And we get to see the Paul McGann Doctor regenerate into the John Hurt Doctor! I love regeneration episodes - there’s nothing more exciting! And in the anniversary year we get to see two regenerations… That’s pretty cool!
Two regenerations in the anniversary year. The anniversary year which ends on 23 NOV 2013. Mat Smith's regeneration actually happens in the show's 51st year.
Could this actually mean that the second regeneration will be the John Hurt > Christopher Eccleston?
