'Doctor Who' Matt Smith 'wants multi-Doctor episode'

Doctor Who star Matt Smith has said that he is keen to film an episode featuring multiple Doctors.

The actor told Newsarama that he would like to appear on-screen with his predecessors for the show's 50th anniversary in 2013.

"That's still over a year away but I'd love for it to happen," he confessed. "How amazing would it be to see Tom Baker [back as the Fourth Doctor]? Can you imagine just seeing him back in the scarf, man? That would be amazing."

Smith continued: "Paul McGann is a great actor, man, and a great Doctor. I say bring back Chris [Eccleston] and Dave [Tennant], too! How many Doctors can we get into one story? Imagine if there were five or six of us in one ep and we could all just look at each other and judge each other."

David Tennant confirmed last week that he would be happy to return to Doctor Who for a guest appearance. However, both Christopher Eccleston and Paul McGann have implied that they would not return to the show.

At this year's Comic-Con in San Diego, Doctor Who writer Toby Whithouse also expressed his desire for a multi-Doctor anniversary episode.

"You'd have to ask [showrunner] Steven [Moffat] that but yeah, why not?" he said. "Come on, let's bring them all back."

Doctor Who will return to BBC America in the US on August 27 and will likely air on the same day on BBC One in the UK.
