This 8min short, written by the great Stephen Moffat, reunites Doctors #5 (Peter Davidson) and #10 (David Tennant), taking place after the latest season finale but before the Christmas special.
I just LOVE the idea of them crossing the Doctors. It makes sense that a time/space traveller would eventually have the instance of encountering an earlier self yet so far it has only happened 3 other times on the TV series (The Three Doctors -1972, The Five Doctors - 1983 and The Two Doctors - 1985)
How they handled this was perfect and incredibly in character.
Not just anyone can pull off accessorizing with a vegetable!

Brilliant! Just Brilliant!!! Thanks for posting this Rodney. The BBC site was jammed earlier today and you couldn’t get the video to run at all. He too was “my doctor” back in the 80s and I couldn’t have imagined a better way to pull this off.
Ah… just stumbled on this post by accident!
What a happy accident!!
I used to love Peter Davison as Dr.Who.
I’m embarassed to say I went gaa gaa over him at a
Science Fiction Fair in Boston in the mid 80s!!! (I still have his autograph somewhere in my basement with college goodies)
Very excited to see him back on Dr.Who!!!
Will have to watch for the episode.
And don’t forget that 2 of those 3 mentioned times it was because of the interference of Time Lords. And you could argue that they were involved in the 3rd time, as well.
It was a wonderful short. I do wish they could have been together for a full story.
But then, the plot would have gotten in the way.
