Changes

[[Paul McGann]] played the role for a television movie, with the creation of a new series by US producers dependent on the success of the movie. This was never made. The Doctor himself was perhaps more human than any other, with the revelation that he was "half-human" on his mother's side and displaying far greater emotional response than in the past.  After appearing in the 1996 movie, McGann would go on to play the Eighth Doctor in audio dramas.  He would not be seen on television as the Eighth Doctor for another 17 years, until ''The Night of the Doctor,'' the minisode prequel to the 50th anniversary special, where he regenerated into his next incarnation.

Prior to the 50th anniversary, it was believed that at some point between the 1996 movie and the 2005 series restart, the Eighth Doctor regenerated into the Ninth Doctor during the Time War.  However, in the minisode prequel ''The Night of the Doctor,'' it is revealed that the Eighth Doctor regenerated into another incarnation called the War Doctor.  Originally, Steven Moffat intended for the Ninth Doctor to be the incarnation of the Doctor who fought in the Time War.  However, Christopher Eccleston declined to be in the 50th anniversary special, as Moffat as said he knew he would, which led to the creation of the War Doctor.  The War Doctor is also the second incarnation of the Doctor to be played by two actors, as Paul McGann played the War Doctor shortly after his regeneration in ''The Night of the Doctor.''  The regeneration from the War Doctor to the Ninth Doctor is the second time in which an actor has declined to film a regeneration, as before Christopher Eccleston's likeness can be seen, it cuts away.
