What if John Hurt is Doctor 0...the one before John Pertwee
Do you mean the one before William Hartnell?
Also, please don't whitefont total speculation. There's no need for it and it's confusing.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

One thought occurred to me - Sarah could still be the original if she was an IVF baby and they cloned the others from her at the blastocyst stage. (It also occurred to me that it's silly for all the clones to have the same birthday unless they were all born by c-section, because pregnancy doesn't work like that. 9 babies conceived on the same day aren't all going to be born simultaneously.)

They don't have the same birthday though. At least not from their passports.

Oh, good - I must have remembered that wrong.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What are their relative ages?

Looks like they were all born March-April '84, according to the chart Delphine found in Cosima's secret stash of clone info.

Do you mean the one before William Hartnell?
That is what I meant, Jon. I can see the other prospects for where the character might fit in the timeline.
I just hope it is resolved in a way that makes sense. I'm so bad at keeping time travel straight.

Have they gone back on tradition and retconned in the possibility that William Hartnell's Doctor wasn't his original incarnation?

The status is NOT quo.
I think he's the doctor who actually caused the destruction of the Time Lords. A skipped doctor (the real 9?).

Pix, I was thinking the same thing.
