This was made open at a convention that he and McCoy did together. Both actors agreed that they liked the idea. (Pertwee especially as he was already doing the Doctor Who play. Can't remember quite what it's called. Something like: The Ultimate Game.) Having Pertwee back would be a real showsaver. Is Turner still there, anyway? End Quote So it would seem RTD wasn't the first to think of having The Doctor regenerate into a prior incarnation. .... even though it didn't actually occur in ClassicWho times. -- Daniel
