Steven Moffat has confirmed Matt Smith’s Doctor’s place in the Doctor Who chronology, saying that he is indeed the 13th incarnation of the Time Lord. Smith was originally treated as the show’s 11th Doctor, but this was thrown into question by the introduction of John Hurt’s War Doctor along with David Tennant’s aborted regeneration in 2008 episode The Stolen Earth. Clearing things up and raising interesting questions about Peter Capaldi’s upcoming role, Moffat told Radio Times: ‘We’ll find out [in the Christmas special] that Matt Smith is actually the 13th Doctor. Although everyone knows that the Doctor can only regenerate 12 times. 大意就是魔法特已经确认马特的博士的确是时间领主的第十三次重生。马特原先一直被认为是第十一任博士,但这一切都是个疑问因为JOHN HURT的战争博士还有DT在2008年那次流产的重生。问到PC将来的角色,魔法特说我们会在圣诞特辑里发现马特其实是第十三任博士。尽管所有人都知道博士只能重生12次。
