Yep, the picture is from A Fix With Sontarans, which aired on Jim'll Fix It.
Could events be rewritten? 50th spoilers ahead.

I've read some speculation that Hurt *is* The Moment. Perhaps The Moment is when the Doctor steps out of his normal path and becomes all about the fire, and ice, and rage, and very little about the Doctor.
It is the moment that he breaks his promise about being the doctor.”

The Doctor
The Master
The Moment??
Bring back the Timelords but in doing so from the time war it destroys there power source to escape the time war. Leaves them as then just a race of people with basic time travel ability just like the Doctor?.
I can see I situation where the Doctor makes the Timelords realise what they were about to do and what happened after the events were time locked. Daleks survive anyway & the universe is in no worse a position than it was before the timewar. And in helping the Timelords escape requires the use and then destruction of there entire almighty power source leaving them as a far less powerful race of people.

I don't know how I would feel about 11 changing the history of the timewar. If he could do that when it was "time locked". What about all the other" paradoxes" and "fixed points" that have happened and can never or should never be changed ?. Thought he is suppose to be the most clever and powerfull man in the universe. It shouldn't be all about him though. It should also be about his "patients" . People who he either tries to help or who become his freinds.

That is where I was going, yes.
Probably, almost certainly, wrong; but Moff has talked about a 'may-fly' doctor recently.

War Games
The Three Doctors
Deadly Assassin

Arc of Infinity
Five Doctors
Trial of a Time Lord (maybe not centric but big part!)
Not that many really!
*probably missing some!”

There's also Genesis of the Daleks in which a Time Lord puls Four & co onto Skaro mid transmat midway through the Series 12 arc to stop/damage Dalek creation.

A good writer could use them in better ways than that.
(cue floods of "if only the show had any" comments

Welcome to every sci/fi fantasy show ever made, being made, or will be made (and a lot of non-sci-fi shows too!)
This is far from exclusive to Doctor Who!

Exactly... http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Retcon
Everything about Doctor Who has become baroque and convoluted. I'd nuke the entire back story and revert to a mysterious grumpy Doctor (Hartnell, Ecclestone) and a wonky Tardis.
No sonic screwdriver. No orchestras. No references to past episodes other than untainted reboots of enemies that have no baggage, no BBC in-jokes, no celebrity appearances.
