The Lesser-Known Doctors ~ The Morbius Doctors

During Morbius and the Fourth Doctor’s mindbending contest in “The Brain of Morbius,” the Doctor’s three previous incarnations are shown, followed by a sequence of eight more faces implied to be even earlier incarnations, played by members of the production staff (click the pictures for names). (The possibility that these are also the Doctor is invalidated a few episodes later in “The Deadly Assassin,” where it’s explicitly stated that Time Lords have only a limited number of regenerations.)
