What Do you think would be a good name for the doctor, if they had to be One.

Exactly what I was thinking!
In reality I never want to know, it would have to be some awesome alien name
So I assume it would be along those lines
'I hate good wizards in stories. They always turn out to be him.'
well I liked it Andrew
Battlefield has DEFINATELY got to be my all-time favourite Seventh Doctor story.

It has a lot of great action in it. Plus there is the right amount of suspence. The cliffhangers are perfect. Plus the casting is excellent.
Angela Bruce is brilliant as Lethridge Stewart's replacement, Winifred Bambera. Jean Marsh makes a chilling, quite convincing villain. We even get Angela Douglas from the Carry On films as Alistair's second Wife, Doris.
I think Sophie Aldred is on top form here, too. I love the scene between her and the Chinese woman, when Ace talks about blowing up things with Nitro-9 cans.
Saying that, I would put Battlefield in my top 5 list of the best classic stories.
I must've watched Battlefield half a dozen times, if not more, since the story was released on DVD in late 2008.
I've just found this trailer for the story on YouTube. It has been put together well:

It offers a bit of a glimpse into what happens in the story, if there are some fans of the show, who don't have this on DVD.
And the less said about McCoy and that scabbard, the better.
Anyway, back on topic. The Doc's name. I have a few suggestions...

Haha, love a good Father Ted reference!
THATS WHAT I SAID!!!
I sometimes wonder if some of those names aren't titles or appellations from other cultures in the universe that were chosen in pretty much the same way as the Doctor and the Master chose theirs. If not, then I also suspect it's something three syllables and like other sorts of alien names you'd get in 1960s and 70s sci-fi...
