General Doctor Whoniverse Discussion

Body doubles were used, not face doubles :) Has anyone any clue as to the identity of the figure facing Tennant, to me it looks like it may be Hurt's Doctor as he appears to be wearing a bandolier like we have seen in set photos
 
Perhaps for Patrick & Paul, but Tom, Jon, Peter and William are the real deal.....facially

I eat my words!

Just had another look at the video in HD & Dr 3 doesn't look like Jon Pertwee!....a double?

No, they're not. Actors are playing Hartnell, Baker, Pertwee and Davison in that trailer. They are very good, so no surprise some people are fooled. The others up to Eccles are played by actors too but you hardly see them. Only those from McGann onwards are the real deal.

Have a closer look at the others too and you'll see. Tom is really good.

Are we sure it's not a mix of body doubles and digitally pasting the original Docs' faces?

Yeah the faces are the real actors (with exception of Jon Pertwee), you can see the cut between the body double of Tom as the camera swings around him....the body doubles face on profile hidden by his hand.....then cutting to the shot of the camera pulling away with Toms face pasted on top of the BD's,.....the stills of Christopher, Peter & Paul were easily done, there's no 3d animation to them.
William's face is not revealed until the extreme close up which is cut in after you see the Dalek extermination.
You don't see Patrick, Sylvester, or Colin's face at all in the video, so all their shots are body doubles.......
......so in essence the only look-alike that you see face on in the video is Dr 3 acting as Jon

They're not the real actors. The BBC have said as much. It's not Tom Bakers face, Hartnells or Pertwees faces you are seeing here. They are all doubles, faces and bodies. They discussed it on BBC Breakfast news earlier this week.
 
Proof, as I suspected. Anything with a pan-around view is a body double, and the faces are digital 'masks'. Clever editing and blocking hides the joins.
