So at the end of "The Name of The Doctor" John Hurt's Doctor said
'What I did, I did without choice, In the name of peace and sanity'
to which Matt Smiths Doctor replied
'But not in the Name of The Doctor'
This face of "The Doctor" has been hidden away so I have a theory that John Hurt wasn't actually called the Doctor.
I would say it had something to do with the 'Time War'. As he killed both the Daleks and The Time Lords he did not want the guilt on the name "The Doctor" but changed it when he Time Locked the War to "The Silence"
The Silence of the Daleks and the Time Lords.

I wonder how 10 and 11 will even meet Hurt's Doctor. Will the story be set in their past or will the Hurt Doctor somehow get out of the Doctor's time stream together with 11 and Clara (since they still were inside last time we saw them)?
Moffat will probably do that thing he likes to do and start the next episode a substantial amount of time after the cliffhanger, with the Doctor and Clara having already escaped.
Yeah, and, if we're lucky we'll get some wibbly wobbly flashbacky washbacky explanation.
Are we SURE he didn't train for Who by writing for Red Dwarf? :P

Instead of a Gold Star you can have a White Point Star
Its already been said that no renumbering will happen etc.
Also if John were to be instated as another Doctor consider all the changes needed, not just to the series, wikis, and especially merchandise such as
http://merchandise.thedoctorwhosite.co.uk/competition-win-new-zealand-mint-doctor-who-coins/
which have just been minted, and the stamps etc.
There is only one way he could stay, if he was the very old 8th doctor.
Another way of course is he could stay if he was simply a regeneration of the same man but without the name 'Doctor'. This wouldn't affect merchandising or anything at all really. This explanation has kinda been alluded to in story hasn't it?
From The Day of the Doctor:
"You were The Doctor on the day it wasn't possible to get it right."
The Eleventh Doctor
"What we do today, we do not out of fear or hatred, but because there is no other way."
The Tenth Doctor
So 10/11 agree with John and even help press the button.......So doesn't that make John officially a Doctor. Or after they do whatever time rewinds ???
This then could lead to Capaldi's Doctor being old, slightly scruffy and bad tempered.
Or old and tired as he is on his last incarnation, without enough energy left to regenerate...
