 The thing is, we can discuss the "Brain of Morbius" all day long,
(all week long even) but the simple fact is, whether Agamemnon
likes it or not, is that Chris Chibnall (wherever he got the idea
from) liked the idea of pre-Hartnell incarnations

 He got the idea from DC Comics in order to turn the Doctor into
Doomsday.
 

of the Doctor. And as Executive Producer of Doctor Who he decided
to incorporate that idea in to his vision of the show in 2020. So
whilst it's fun to debate the ins and outs of 1976, it doesn't
change the lore of Doctor Who that we have now in 2024.

 Doctor Who ended in 2017.

I thought, basically, Canon *IS* whatever appears on T.V.!
Books/Comic/Whatever can ADD to Canon BUT can *NEVER* contradict Canon!!

Doctor Who history features a pre-First Doctor incarnation now, and
right or wrong - or until it's rewritten by another Doctor Who
showrunner at some stage in the future - that is the way it is.

 There are no incarnations of the Doctor before Hartnell.
 

Doctor Ruth/The Fugitive Doctor exists in episodes of Doctor Who as
broadcast on BBC1 and has her own range of Big Finish audio adventures coming next year, licensed and approved by the BBC.

 Big Finish is not canon and neither is Doctor Ruth, unless you mean
the psychologist.
 

All of which is as official as you can get! So anyone trying to

 Officially non-canon.

claim that there are no pre-Hartnell incarnations are basically just wasting their time and/or smoking hopium.

 The ones claiming incarnations before Hartnell are hallucinating and
smoking opium.

No one in their right mind could be stupid enough to believe a
totally insane conspiracy theory that completely erases the character
of the Doctor and replaces him with a monster based on Doomsday.

And now with the bigeneration bullshit attached to it it's become
even more incredulous, unbelievable, and unacceptable.

Classic WHO had The Watcher (??) who merged with DoctorTom to regenerate into DoctorPeter.
Why couldn't such a thing have happened before, so keeping the numbers of 'Time Lords' to a reasonable number??

Doctor Who ended in 2017.

So WHAT have you, Aggy, been watching since then??
