14=10?

There's a story here. We'll probably find out what it is two years later.

"UNIT says that my ratings are down so they talked to the Jadoon, who tweaked the timestream a bit. Ish."

seriously they are removing the chair? Without the chair he comes off as a Palpatine wannabe

Obviously this was just a comedy skit?

Apparently not.

Strange that anyone is calling this the 14th Doctor. This is 10 "revisited" - the 14th Doctor is Ncuti Gatwa.

Ncuti has been confirmed as the 15th Doctor, the 14th has the same appearance as the 10th but we'll have to wait a couple of days to see if they have an explanation

The team making Doctor Who seem to view 14 as different from 10.

Arguing the technical correctness of the Doctor's numbering scheme has been a lost cause since we met the War Doctor or, arguably, since 10 regenerated back into 10 in Journey's End.

The numbering is mostly to give viewers some common frame of reference, so choosing to think of Gatwa as 14 is probably setting yourself up for some confusing future conversations about the show!​

It's hard coming up with a name

That feels like a comedy sketch

No... I mean that THEY (the showmakers) have been call Ncuti the 14th Doctor. Edit: I guess I'm misremembering that.

Really? Hmm... maybe I am mistaken then. Okay. As you were.

They have? Where? Prior to 13's regeneration, official statements were careful to only refer to Gatwa as the "next" Doctor, and not as the 14th. It is news to me that anyone on the production team has referenced him as the 14th.
