Talk:The Doctor (Doctor Who)

The War Doctor should be in the main image.

Stupid leaving him out. He's not a far off incarnation like Jo Martin's Doctor. He's an actual incarnation in-between 8 and 9 in the Doctor's first regeneration cycle, Hurt should be in there. He also became the Doctor again at the end of the special. It would also serve to easily inform new people where the incarnation lies if he's in the main image. 2001:BB6:6862:1800:1083:25A8:CE24:3431 (talk) 22:47, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

This page is written from a history of the programme perspective. If you want to write in an in-universe perspective, there's always tardis wikia. DonQuixote (talk) 21:20, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

The only way to be consistent is by removing the 2nd David Tennant iteration.

You can either include John Hurt & David Tennant III or leave out both. As a history of the programme non-fictional article, David Tennant should be in the picture once. He was the 10th Dr. &, as an actor, is best known for that role. Now he's playing the Dr. again. From a non-fictional perspective, he should only be in the picture once.

From a fictional perspective, John Hurt should be in between Sylvester McCoy & Christopher Eccleston & David Tennant should succeed Jodie Whitaker. 2600:1012:B168:43D1:0:4E:2A55:D501 (talk) 01:36, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

In the real world, David Tennant will be the series lead for the 2023 specials. It's not a new thing for series leads to switch back and forth. For example, off the top of my head, Tom Wopat and John Schneider were series leads for seasons 1 through 4 of The Dukes of Hazzard, then Byron Cherry and Christopher Mayer were series leads for season 5, and finally Wopat and Schneider were series leads for seasons 6 through 7.

Should Brian be added as a relative of The Doctor?

Given that Brian (Rory's father) appeared a few times during the series, would it be reasonable to add him as The Doctor's grandfather-in-law, given he is Rory's father? Pokelego999 (talk) 22:53, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

He apears in more episodes than Adam but Adam is listed as a companion so yeah I think he should apear. OLI 14:27, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

To be honest, grandfather-in-law isn't a common metric even with real people unless you're compiling a family tree, and with this character there's too much OR involved (not to mention being too in-universe) with such a thing. DonQuixote (talk) 19:00, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Bi-regeneration and the possible regeneration of 2 Doctors and List of Doctors Order

If Tenth/Fourteenth Doctor (David Tennant) is still able to re-generate and he manages to do so what happens to the List of Doctors order as there is no guarantee that he will eventually become Gatwa as there could be Unknown Doctors between the two versions of The Doctor.

Also, should Tennant's 14th Doctor regenerate, it's also possible he could gain an unfamiliar face or revert to another previous one. Even though the bi-regeneration in The Giggle gave us Fifteenth Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and Fourteenth Doctor (David Tennant) at the same time it is still possible the 15th could have been pulled in from somewhere in the future. We don't know if both Doctors can re-generate yet or just Gatwa. - 2A02:C7C:53C1:E00:90CB:DA01:E677:CD31 (talk) 14:26, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

There's entirely too much speculation at play here. If/when such things transpire, then the article can reflect that. Until then, there's nothing reasonable to revise in the article. Beyond that, this discussion page shouldn't be a forum for what-if scenarios. —Shada Ng (talk | contribs) 16:54, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Origin

Since the timeless children, there is some debate among fans as to whether the Doctor is fully Gailfreyan. Hence some users have edited "Unknown, Gallifrey (adopted)" Has there been confirmation or not from the writers? ~~ 92.17.199.182 (talk) 22:00, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
