He's only confirmed to be the Doctor by implication, unlike all other such stories which outright state that multiple Doctors are playing a part. It can also be argued that this story is not a multi-Doctor one because back then at that time of him being a boy he wasn't the Doctor yet. He wasn't even given his Academy name "Theta Sigma".
