We haven’t had a lot of that in 60+ years, have we? They met their former incarnations on several occasions, but not the same actor to the same degree.
OTOH I can only recall the Third Doctor trying to fix the TARDIS when Jo and his future self appeared in the doorway all of a sudden?
Yeah, there was an episode in Matt Smith’s first season where he was hopping around non-linearly, but I don’t think he actually interacted with himself at any point.
I only watched the deleted scenes from this year’s season now, and although it’s brief there is also a Bill & Ted moment where Climax Ncuti literally hands Second Act Ncuti the preprogrammed referee whistle.
Not quite to the same level as in this trailer, but mostly a note that some of those deleted scenes are really good, and sometimes actually make more sense of the story…
Yeah. I know the feeling. Some of the larger story beats of the clone goo doctor arc are pretty predictable, and maybe didn’t demand a full two part episode. But some of the individual moments are brilliant.
On a sidenote, “The rebel flesh”/" The almost people" were directed by Julian Simpson who has been developing a swathe of weird and very good audio dramas with the BBC over the past decade or so.
The tone of this interconnected “Pleasant Green universe” is very early-oughts Warren Ellis/Grant Morrison, with some fairly mind-boggling concepts that might appeal to Who fans.
For an easy gateway, look up “The Lovecraft investigations” in your podcast player 🙂
I’m here for the Doctor being openly annoyed by his own bullshit.

Oh that’s right - I was very surprised that that scene didn’t make the final cut!
You’re right of course, any multi-Doctor episode is pretty good evidence that the Doctor isn’t exactly their own biggest fan…
There’s also Matt Smith’s doctor and a goo-clone interacting at one point. That one was fun.
I never think of that two-parter as being very good, but I periodically remember that it is actually very good.
