The War Doctor’s Name Is Meaningless In Doctor Who Now

Doctor Who has rendered the War Doctor’s name meaningless despite their redemption at the end of the Time War. The War Doctor was introduced in the 50th Anniversary special of Doctor Who, when the questions around the events of the Time War were finally answered in “The Day of the Doctor”. The War Doctor is technically the 9th Doctor, but his hidden story meant Christopher Eccleston’s regeneration in New-Who is classed as the 9th Doctor. Throughout “The Day of the Doctor”, David Tennant and Matt Smith’s 10th and 11th regenerations recalled their time as the War Doctor with great shame, hiding their past as much as possible.
