The BBC debuts the Doctor Who minisode Night Of The Doctor on the internet, reintroducing Paul McGann as the eighth Doctor in his first on-screen appearance since the 1996 TV movie and depicting his apparent regeneration into a previously unknown incarnation of the Doctor, as played by John Hurt. The minisode debuts on McGann’s birthday, but was originally intended to premiere much closer to the 50th anniversary special, Day Of The Doctor, until it became apparent that word of McGann’s secretive return to Doctor Who was about to be leaked.
