Then stop watching...and if you have stopped watching, how do you know your view still holds true? Honestly, what a bitter old dear you seem...no need to put "new" in quotations by the way, it actually is new Who even though you don't like it and have (or maybe have not) stopped watching it for the reasons you borrowed earlier in this thread.
I do continue to watch DW partly out of hope, partly out of morbid curiosity. If you don't agree with my views why not provide an argument against them? Surely that would be more constructive than making personal remarks? |

We'll probably never know the Doctor's real name. The Master's real name is apparently Koschei.

His real name is Sylvester McCoy. That's why Earth's Sylvester McCoy was hired for the part.

I think there is a distinct possibility that his surname is chaudry. I have just checked the phone book and it seems to be the most popular.:yawn:
please note this is a joke, as I know how upset some of us can get

I thought Koschei was his academy nickname in the same way as the Doctor was Theta Sigma?
As for the Doctor's name... no point in speculating, it'll never be revealed. I do wonder, though, if people like Sydney Newman, David Whittaker, Malcolm Hulke and Robert Holmes ever actually decided what it really is. |

I hope (and I thnk it likely) we will never know his name. I'd also like to think that when River Song whispered it in his ear it was the first time he'd heard it himself but instinctively knew it to be true.
If I was writing Doctor Who I would add this bit to the story: When a Gallifrian is accepted as a Time Lord there is a ceremony. With Time Lords there is always a ceremony. But it is not just an empty ritual, during this ceremony the secrets of space and time are encoded into the very substance of their being and they are gifted the extra lives which allow them to briefly glimpse immortality. They can also, should they so chose, take on a new name or title. And Time Lords being Time Lords, if they do their new name is written across the whole of eternity and the old irrevocably lost. I always thought erasing all traces of someone's name from all of time sounded like the kind of punishment Time Lords would dish out to naughty run-aways

Actually I'm deadly serious. Watch Remembrance of the Daleks, Silver Nemesis, The Curse of Fenric or Survival. Classic episodes with the best assistant the Doctor ever had (Ace) Had Dr Who continued with a decent budget Sylvester would have won over more fans than Tom Baker. The cancellation of Dr Who under the guardianship of Nathan-Turner was a travesty.
![]() ![]() They should never reveal that the Doctor's name is Dave btw ![]() |

Why can't his name simply be The Doctor?

Don't go bringing the Star Wars prequels into this.... That's the best example I can think of of a productiion team thinking SFX can carry poor story and dialogue.
![]() I would like to see the Cardiff team start to remake some of the original stories... lets see if the fifth Doctor would still wear a decorative vegetable.. D ![]() Anyway, his name is *choke, thud* |

I think you're overly sensitive. To my mind it is accepted that McCoy was the best Doctor. Or possibly equal best, what with Mr. Smith currently managing a very good showing.
Apart from that, Sylv totally overacted almost as bad as Colin Baker did. |

![]() She always used "Doctor" when it was getting serious anyway, so the goofing around with "Professor" was harmless fun for me; plus the tag suited SMcC imo - but yeah, I know, I guess I am weird but I thought they were a great team together.

Says who ? You can get away with Ecclestone's accent by saying "every planet has a north" the same does not apply to a broad Scottish dialect. "every planet has a Scotland" doesn't quite sound right.

Mcoy was appaling! In my opinion he ruined the entire show! Ive only seen dvds but he was just ridiculous, that gurning and the looks that he gave the camera! And Ace has to be categorically the worst companion ever! It seemed like she was brought into attract the young, hence her name and her attitude! Her whole character was cliched troubled teenager!

Maybe his name is actually 'Sweetie'
River Song is the only one who knows his real name and that's what she keeps calling him!
