TV & #039;s most famous Time Lord popped up simultaneously in nearly 100 countries on Saturday -- in a special 50th anniversary episode of the BBC & #039;s cult sci-fi series & quot;Doctor Who & quot;. Fittingly, for a two-hearted, time-travelling alien who reincarnates every time he suffers a fatal mishap, the Doctor appeared in the show as three versions of himself: the current one, played by Matt Smith, and previous ones embodied by David Tennant and John Hurt. Exactly 50 years after the first episode was broadcast on November 23, 1963, & quot;Doctor Who & quot; show runner Steven Moffatt said the anniversary special would deliver an & quot;emotional wallop & quot; to millions of fans worldwide. The 75-minute special kicked off with Smith dangling from his Tardis spaceship -- which has the form of a vintage British police telephone box -- as it flew over London.
