Paul McGann's Eighth Doctor only ever had one screen outing, in the 1996 movie Doctor Who. That ended with him flying off on his own, to find his future in books, comics and audios only. Russell T Davies was all for not even counting him as a Doctor when a character had to name them all in Queer As Folk. It took until Human Nature for him to be acknowledged on screen in the revived series.
In 2013 he surprised everyone by turning up in a short prequel episode - online only - to the 50th Anniversary Special. He came back, only to regenerate into John Hurt's War Doctor. That image of him, from Night of the Doctor, has become his official BBC image ever since, rather than the version seen back in 1996.
