The Fourteenth Doctor looks shocked, with the Eleventh Doctor and the First Doctor behind them.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT RTD's newest term as Doctor Who showrunner has already fixed one thing that the modern show has always got wrong about the First Doctor. Doctor Who has been on the air for over 60 years, going through 18 versions of the Doctor in Doctor Who – 15 of whom are official, numbered regenerations. The original show ran from November 1965 to December 1989. In 2015, showrunner and head writer Russell T.

This mistake makes sense from a logical perspective. In a normal timeline, a character introduced in 1963 – the First Doctor – would be older than a character introduced in 2023 – the Fifteenth Doctor. However, this doesn't apply to the Doctor if each regeneration is a continuation of the last. In this case, the oldest version of the Doctor would always be the newest one. Additionally, society conflates age with wisdom.

This sentiment is further solidified by the ending of Doctor Who's 60th anniversary special. After the bigeneration, the Fourteenth Doctor and the Fifteenth Doctor are discussing Fourteen leaving the TARDIS. Fifteen says, "Off you pop, Old Man," causing Fourteen to respond with, "You're the old man. You're older than me." This promotes the idea that the Fifteenth Doctor is older than the Fourteenth Doctor, even though they're newer.
