   But that's a mis-calcualtion. If you take the show back to it's   
   *proper* version, then Jo Martin, Jodie Whittaker, and Ncuti Gatwa   
   don't count at all. There's also no evidence that Billie Piper is the   
   new Doctor (semi-permanent or temporary). Paul McGann doesn't count   
   either and possibly neither does John Hurt.   
      
   Then there's Peter Cushing, although he's a different "Doctor Who"   
   entirely ... supposedly.
