There is one Dr. Who. There are many Doctors.

The Doctor was listed in the credits as "Doctor Who" or "Dr. Who" until Peter Davison showed up and complained. Then in the new series Eccleston was credited for playing "Doctor Who" until David Tennant showed up and complained.

Davison and Tennant are now related by marriage. Coincidence???

"William Shatner on Richard And Judy, December 2002"

Doesn't Doctor Who, like the good Doctor Pepper, eschew the "." after his abbreviated title?

I have three funny t-shirts invoking the "Trust Me I'm A Doctor" trope, one each for 'Who'*, Pepper and Seuss.

*it's actually "Trust Me I'm THE Doctor"

Any time I see Sir Terry's name on the front page of MetaFilter, before I become conscious of any context, my heart leaps into my throat.

AT LAST, SIR TERRY, WE MUST WALK TOGETHER.

God DAMN it.

(I'm really sorry, everyone who is just now refreshing Recent Activity. I'm sure there will be a proper post on the front page soon.)
