On August 27th 2013 the official Doctor Who YouTube channel uploaded a video called "The Other Eighth Doctor? - Doctor Who". The video goes into detail about an actor called David Burton who was asked to play the Doctor for two pilot episodes that would be later shown to the BBC.

This incarnation of the Doctor would be about him and two assistants called Heart and the other called Diamond who were twins. David Burton says in the interview that the feeling was that not a lot of people would remember the iconic police call box. So they decided to change the exterior of the tardis to a red public phone box with blacked out windows.

David Burton also states there was at least two full episodes created before the whole idea was scrapped. He thinks that all the evidence of these episodes where destroyed after it was axed.
