I have an iodea how they could do a guest star special with nearly every Doctor since Tom Baker. Recall how in The Five Doctors Tom Baker's incarnation was stuck in the time vortex? Perhaps they could pick up on that plot thread and have that cause some trouble in time/space and require the intervention of many of the Doctors since #4. Tom could come out of the anomoly in the new show. Not every doctor need appear but a bunch could. I
suspect the only Docto you couldn't get would be Chris Ecclestion because he's done with the role and moved on. Colin Baker looks most different from he did in the 80's but with a proper wig and some additional wardrobe to hide his larger size it could work. Perhaps they could have him wear black in the story and have him joke, " Good heavens I look like I've dipped into the Master's wardrobe!" ( trivia point - Colin suggested his Doctor be decked out in black when he took the role. This would make a good in-joke). I think the major stumbling block would be Lalla Ward as Romana. She and Tom divorced years ago and they don't speak. It seems unlikely she would come back for a special such as this.
