Countdown to Regeneration: War Doctor


The ninth incarnation of the Doctor is the 'War Doctor' - as performed by John Hurt.
Technically not a Doctor at all. There was reason that he wasn't counted by the Doctor himself: he was ashamed of his actions on the final day of the Last Great Time War. He basically didn't deserve the title of "Doctor". As everyone was supposed to forget what really happened at the war's conclusion, he should still be the shunned, non-Doctor. We only saw his arrival at the end of The Night of the Doctor, then his final hours in The Day of the Doctor. Like the First Doctor, his regeneration seemed to be due to natural causes - his old body growing a bit thin.
