Neil Patrick Harris smiling smugly as the Toymaker in Doctor Who
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Doctor Who season 14, episode 6, "Rogue," includes an incredibly brief tease that reinforces the damage the Toymaker has done to the Doctor's timeline. Neil Patrick Harris' Toymaker debuted in "The Giggle," giving the ending to the Doctor Who 60th-anniversary specials an enormous amount of gravitas.
Doctor Who's Unknown Regeneration Can Be Blamed On The Toymaker The holographic face could be Richard E Grant's "Shalka Doctor" When the Doctor is proving to Rogue that he isn't a Chuldur, he shows the bounty hunter all of his former faces. It doesn't exactly refuse Rogue's shapeshifter accusations, but it does establish the Doctor as a Time Lord rather than a member of the same race as the episode's antagonists.
Reestablishing the Shalka Doctor as Doctor Who canon would certainly fit the Toymaker's claims in "The Giggle" of having made a " Jigsaw " out of the Doctor's history. A brilliant example of the Toymaker working wonders for the Doctor's nebulous backstory is allowing Paul McGann's Eighth Doctor to be half-human. The comment from Eight in the Doctor Who movie can't just be a throwaway line, as his human DNA is a major part of the film's plot. While the Doctor being half-human never made any sense, it can now be easily attributed to the Toymaker.
A rich vein of potential alternate Doctors comes in the 1999 Comic Relief special, "The Curse of Fatal Death." The Doctor Who parody featured stars like Rowan Atkinson, Joanna Lumley, and Hugh Grant all playing various regenerations of the Doctor. Richard E Grant even plays a version of the Time Lord, four years prior to Scream of the Shalka being released.
