face? It's not there because all the faces after Hartnell are
those of Morbius, and Hartnell is declared as the beginning of
the Doctor, not Ruth.

Ah c'mon Aggy at least try and be serious. How can the face of a
woman from a 2020 episode of Doctor Who be featured in an
episode of Doctor Who from 1976 when the idea hadn't even been
thought of?

It's quite simple, read slowly if it helps. In 1976 a Doctor Who
producer had an idea, forty plus years later another Doctor Who
producer had a different idea. It's all fiction at the end of
the day but expecting Phillip Hinchcliffe to know in 1976 what
Chris Chibnall was going to do in 2020 is not a rational
argument.

A sixty year old TV show contains layers, and each producer adds
different layers to a show's lore at different times. You
don't have to like it, but that's how it is.
