Speaking to Flicks And The City<\/em><\/a>, Eighth Doctor Paul McGann quashed rumours he’ll be appearing in the Doctor Who<\/em> 50th Anniversary episode, ‘The Day Of The Doctor’, and wished he was.<\/p>\n

“I was a bit dismayed,” said McGann. “A bit gutted, but [the older Doctors] are not in it.<\/p>\n

“There’s all kinds of rumours… doing the rounds. One gets tired of trying to refute things on Twitter and the like, but take it from me – I’m not in it.<\/p>\n

“The thing about Doctor Who<\/em> is… if not now, then maybe some other time. That’s the beauty of it – we can always come back.”<\/p>\n

The Doctor Who<\/em> 50th anniversary special will air on 23 November 2013. Pick up the Doctor Who<\/em> TV Movie as part of the Revisitations box-set on DVD for £11.88 from Amazon.co.uk<\/a>.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n
