They did of course recast the First for "The Five Doctors", all those years ago. Actually, I was half expecting David Bradley to show up in the special.
Yeah, David Bradley would have been cool.

Well, the advantages to bringing back Gallifrey would include being able to bring back in some classic time lord characters, Romana primary among them. But the Time Lords did seem to gum up the works a lot when they were around. But it does allow the writers to break away from the doctor as "lonely god."
Yes, and they happened to find someone who looked the part, and had the chops to do the job superbly. How often will they get that lucky?
Except for howhe was the one who delivered the line we are discussing!
The later ones showed in the Five(ish) Doctors that they are still spry enough to do at least a bit.
Yes, I do realize. But to do a full series at Baker's age, even though I would love to see it, seems too much to ask.

One question though: Paul McGann was getting a call from his agent about being in "The Night of the Doctor," right? Why then ask about being part of the 50th? He was in it, wasn't he? And why then volunteer to join the protest, unless he was bluffing them?
The obvious answer is: the Doctor and (his? her?) companion(s)!What's to prevent a repeat of the Time War? Especially with people like Rassilon around?
So we've seen the Fall of Aracadia. As some point out, it's just part of the Time War - and is not even the biggest Gallifreyan city.
The events of The End of Time (with Timothy Dalton) were occuring simultaneously. The Time Lords mention this - they refer to the High Council having it own plans, and that those plans had failed.
So we've seen:
Genesis of the Daleks (the opening salvo in the Time War?)
The Medusa Cascade
The Fall of Arcadia
The Ultimate Sanction (what Timothy Dalton tried to do)
The Genesis Ark
The Moment/Galaxy Eater
