Possibly Karn?
This is literally gobbledegook to me, all this eigth doctor, ninth doctor, War Doctor, Time Lord stuff means absolutely nothing to me.

When the Last Great Time War erupted, the Eighth Doctor managed to avoid the conflict, helping out its victims wherever he could. Eventually, as the war grew in scope and violence, he discovered a woman named Cass' trapped aboard an out of control starship, inbound for the planet Karn. He attempted to rescue her from the vessel, but Cass rejected his offer when his Time Lord heritage was revealed. The Doctor, however, refused to abandon Cass on the starship, letting himself die with her as the ship smashed into Karn's surface.

However, he was revived by the Sisterhood of Karn, who offered him the ability to control his regeneration and become the person he needed to be in order to end the Time War. Initially he refused, but after seeing Cass' corpse, on top of the many other tragedies of the Time War, the Doctor's spirit finally broke. Accepting their help, he drank a specially-made formula of the Elixir of Life, and regenerated into into the warrior the Time War needed. The new Doctor promptly rejected the name of "the Doctor", declaring, as he picked up and donned Cass' bandolier, "Doctor no more". (TV: The Night of the Doctor)

Yes, Karn is right

Paul McGann crash landed there and he turned into The War Doctor (Hurt) who fought to the end of the original Time War.

The episode was never shown on TV, it's only about 10 mins long and was only on iPlayer and later on released as part of a BluRay package.

One for Doctor Who geeks this question.

Not that I am one.

Honest :rotfl:

Pedantic, I know, but it was shown via the BBC's red button.

And, to distract from my geekiness, I've just received the following message:
