Doctor No. 7 - Sylvester McCoy. In the same way that the Sixth Doctor's regeneration is actually seen in one of his successor's episodes, so the Seventh's is seen in the Eighth's one and only full story. The big difference is that McCoy was there to film the event in person. The BBC didn't want him involved - thinking the public would associate him with the dying days of an unloved franchise, so not suitable for a big glossy relaunch. We're all glad they were overruled - he's one of the best things in it.
