I don't know, recasting a prior Doctor is something they've never really done on the show before, is it? I expect their'd be some degree of backlash to that.

In the classic series William Hartnell's 1st doctor was played by Richard Hurndall for The Five Doctors.

The Masters could all have a headquarters in the swamp that was built by Davros! Be like the Legion of Doom from the Superfriends cartoon!

Ah, didn't know that.

Come to think of it, didn't they also dub some of the lines with impersonators for the "13 Doctors" scene from Day of the Doctor?

The obvious one would be One's hail, I suppose. I haven't watched a lot of early Who, but from what I've heard, Gallifrey/the Time Lords were never named in One's run.
