You missed a couple of Doctors. Richard Hurndal (sp?) played the first Doctor in The Five Doctors (Hartnell had died at this point).

Also, Peter Cushing played "Doctor Who" in a couple of spinoff movies in the 1960s (which could be considered somwhat appocryphal as well).

Oops. The replacement for Hartnell I had forgotten.

As to Peter Cushing, while he was a wonderful actor, I'd also consider him Apocryphal as the Doctors go.

(I never saw the movies, but I was told they were quite horrible, and were quite at odds with BBC litany.

Yep. The Doctor's human, Susan (or "Susie") is about six, Ian and Barbara bear no resemblance to their small-screen counterparts at all, etc. etc. etc.
