This year's Doctor Who Children In Need special will reportedly bring together all 11 Doctors for the first time in the show's history.
The 15-minute episode, to be screened in November, will include the first appearance by brand new Doctor Matt Smith, reports the Daily Mirror.
The first three Doctors, played by deceased actors William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee, will appear thanks to the use of footage from the BBC's archives.
A Doctor Who source told the paper: "This is a momentous episode for all Doctor Who fans. Never before have all the Doctors been in the same room, let alone in the same show.
"It's been a logistical nightmare getting all the actors together and available for shooting on the same days."
The script will see current Doctor David Tennant enlisting the help of his previous incarnations as he attempts to hunt down a piece of time travel apparatus.
Although this episode will feature all the Doctors for the first time, it won't be first occasion when more than one Doctor has appeared together on screen.
Two years ago, Peter Davidson appeared alongside David Tennant in a special mini-episode called Time Crash and 1993 special Dimensions In Time saw Doctors three to seven turn up in Albert Square. Meanwhile, back in 1983 The Five Doctors featured Doctors one to five, however, William Hartnell was replaced by Richard Hurndall.
Do you think bringing all 11 Doctors together is a good idea? Let us know...
