DEFINITELY Dr. Who 😂😂😂

[@rassilontdavros3004]

Joe Horrell The earliest instance I’m aware of is in 1981/2, when Peter Davison specifically asked to be credited as “The Doctor” rather than “Doctor Who,” which stuck for the rest of the classic series. What probably clinched it as _the_ Fandom Berserk Button we know today, however, was David Tennant doing the same thing in 2005. And even then, Tennant still sometimes refers to the character as “Doctor Who” in interviews.

[@julieeverett7442]

@@rassilontdavros3004 maybe but the first 4 doctors all had dr who, so did 9th, so for the older fans Doctor Who is very correct

[@rassilontdavros3004]

julie everett Yeah, I’m of the opinion that people take the whole “it’s THE DOCTOR not DOCTOR WHO!!!” thing _way_ too seriously. Especially given all the times the Doctor _was_ referred to as some variation of “Doctor Who” in-universe. WOTAN’s use of the name in _The War Machines_ is easy enough to explain as a simple error, but the Doctor calling _himself_ “Doktor von Wer” in _The Highlanders_ and “The Great Wizard QuiQuaeQuod”* in _The Dæmons,_ the same story where the Master calls himself “Magister,” also his usual name in Latin, are harder to explain away like that. Personally I’m perfectly happy to accept the explanation offered in _World Enough and Time,_ that the Doctor called himself “Doctor Who” back at the Academy and later changed his mind, only to occasionally use it again when feeling nostalgic. *Note also the Doctor referring to themselves with masculine, feminine and neutral pronouns in one breath here.
