Oh dear

So, my good online buddy JJPOR has for years joked about how they might do a multi!Doctor episode by putting Sean Pertwee in a wig and having him play his father. I don't think he was ever serious about this.

...

Yeah, that's totally a thing that might be happening:

I hate it when they change actors for a character (unless they can regenerate, of course). I mean, the bloke playing One in The Five Doctors did a good job with what he was given, but I still feel like it was slightly disrespectful towards Hartnell.

I was more amused that the thing JJ's been joking about for years may actually be happening... O.o

From the news article though it looks like it's less going to be part of the anniversary and more likely a Children in Need special or something Peter Davison is cooking up for his own amusement.

In most circumstances I agree with you, but since it is his own father that he's (possibly?) playing I'm sure it wouldn't be done disrespectfully, but more as a tribute.

Ah, well, in that case it's different. And, yeah, I was about to edit my comment to state that it's a bit different when it's his son (and JJ's joke coming true is funny, true ;)).

Oh, and I should've said ''a Time Lord or James Bond (but he totally is a Time Lord, in my brain)''.
