Still reading the Archives .... but thought this might rate a post all of its own. Back in Jan 1993, in a thread entitled "The Valeyard's TRUE goals", The Valeyard is raised, you know, the guy The Master says would appear "between your 12th and last regenerations".

No, hang on, JodieDoctor was as a result of the Eleventh regeneration, *NOT* the 12th regeneration.

JodieDoctor, in the 12th Regeneration, regenerated into DoctorDavid Mk 2, so could DoctorDavid Mk 2 be The Valeyard??

"Between 12th and final" seemed definitive at the time. But what number lies
 between 12 and ... say ... 5,000,000? Quite a fee. And the Valeyard was not
 an incarnation of the Doctor - he was formed as "an amalgamation of your
 darker sides".
We have already seen such an entity - the Dream Lord, in the episode "Amy's
 Choice". Which was an eleventh Doctor episode, and the eleventh Doctor knew
 that he was at least the 12th, if not the 13th (depending on how deeply he
 kept his memories of the War incarnation buried).
I don't think we need to look any further than that.
