On five occasions, past Doctor actors have to returned to the series as the Doctor in stories known as "multi-Doctor" stories, meaning that they feature multiple incarnations of the Doctor. In 1973, the tenth anniversary story, The Three Doctors, saw William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton return to the role alongside Jon Pertwee. In 1983, the twentieth anniversary story, The Five Doctors, saw Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee return to the role alongside Peter Davison whilst Richard Hurndall played the role of the first Doctor (William Hartnell, who had passed away some years earlier) and Tom Baker appeared only in footage filmed for a story called Shada (1979), which was abandoned due to strike action. In 1984 Patrick Troughton reprised his role alongside Colin Baker in The Two Doctors. In 2013 David Tennant appeared alongside Matt Smith (10th and 11th Doctors respectively) with John Hurt playing a prieviously unknown 'War' Incarnation between the Eighth and Ninth Doctors, in Day of The Doctor (2013), the Fiftieth Anniversary Special. Finally, the First Doctor appears once more in the upcoming 2017 Christmas Special played by David Bradley, who prieviously played Hartnell in the Documentary An Adventure in Time and Space (2013) for the Fiftieth Anniversary.
