We haven’t had a lot of that in 60+ years, have we? They met their former incarnations on several occasions, but not the same actor to the same degree.
OTOH I can only recall the Third Doctor trying to fix the TARDIS when Jo and his future self appeared in the doorway all of a sudden?
Yeah, there was an episode in Matt Smith’s first season where he was hopping around non-linearly, but I don’t think he actually interacted with himself at any point.
Yeah. I know the feeling. Some of the larger story beats of the clone goo doctor arc are pretty predictable, and maybe didn’t demand a full two part episode. But some of the individual moments are brilliant.
On a sidenote, “The rebel flesh”/" The almost people" were directed by Julian Simpson who has been developing a swathe of weird and very good audio dramas with the BBC over the past decade or so.
The tone of this interconnected “Pleasant Green universe” is very early-oughts Warren Ellis/Grant Morrison, with some fairly mind-boggling concepts that might appeal to Who fans.
For an easy gateway, look up “The Lovecraft investigations” in your podcast player 🙂
I only watched the deleted scenes from this year’s season now, and although it’s brief there is also a Bill & Ted moment where Climax Ncuti literally hands Second Act Ncuti the preprogrammed referee whistle.
Not quite to the same level as in this trailer, but mostly a note that some of those deleted scenes are really good, and sometimes actually make more sense of the story…
I’m here for the Doctor being openly annoyed by his own bullshit.

You’re right of course, any multi-Doctor episode is pretty good evidence that the Doctor isn’t exactly their own biggest fan…
There’s also Matt Smith’s doctor and a goo-clone interacting at one point. That one was fun.
I never think of that two-parter as being very good, but I periodically remember that it is actually very good.

Oh that’s right - I was very surprised that that scene didn’t make the final cut!
