I like Doctor Who, and I like trivia. Two great tastes that go great together. This is Question #2.
(Daily Doctor Who #183)

Hints: Ten Doctors are listed. It is intentional that there is no reference to the Second, Third, Fourth, Sixth or “Ruth” Doctors.
It’s also intentional that the First Doctor is represented by David Bradley, not William Hartnell.

Answer:
This is the order, in real life history, that the actor who played each of these Doctors had their names appear in the opening credits of a TV Doctor Who episode.
More specifically, you’ve got their names appearing for the first time in the following stories:
• The TV Movie (1996) – Paul McGann, Sylvester McCoy
• Rose (2005) – Christopher Eccleston
• The Christmas Invasion (2005) – David Tennant
• Time Crash (2007) – Peter Davison
• The Eleventh Hour (2010) – Matt Smith
• The Day of the Doctor (2013) – John Hurt
• Deep Breath (2014) – Peter Capaldi
• Twice Upon a Time (2017) – David Bradley
• The Woman Who Fell to Earth (2018) – Jodie Whittaker
Classic Doctor Who never listed any actor’s names in the opening credits, so the others don’t make the list.
