It kept bugging me in the hot topic section to read woman Doctor Who, fixed it to female

| Jul 19, 2017 at 3:43 | comment | added | rosey | The Doctor talked about an old friend of his, the Corsair, being both "he" and "she" at different points. Finally, in Season 8, we saw the Doctor's long-time nemesis The Master had regenerated into Missy, played by Michelle Gomez. | |

| Jul 17, 2017 at 18:58 | comment | added | user11521 | @DaveJohnson Yes, exactly. The character's name is the Doctor, but if you mention "The Doctor" to anybody without sufficient context, naturally their reply will be "Doctor Who?" | |
| Jul 17, 2017 at 18:58 | comment | added | J Doe | @Gallifreyan Why shouldn't we believe her? She was legitimately trying to be good at the time, and Doctor Who doesn't contradict her. | |
| Jul 17, 2017 at 18:34 | comment | added | Dave Johnson | relevant reading: reddit.com/r/gallifrey/comments/330mys/… My point being, it doesn't matter. Everyone knows what you're talking about when you ask who Doctor Who is. | |
| Jul 17, 2017 at 18:29 | comment | added | Dave Johnson | @PaulD.Waite So, the show was wrong to name its character what it wanted? Pretty sure it was that way for the whole first season. | |

Change titular character's name to "The Doctor"
|
| Jul 17, 2017 at 17:59 | comment | added | Gallifreyan | @Adamant And you believe her? Regardless, the Doctor has never referred to himself as "Doctor Who". | |

| Jul 17, 2017 at 17:36 | comment | added | Adamant | @Gallifreyan - The Master (in her Missy incarnation) said that the Doctor’s name was “Doctor Who” just a few episodes ago. ;) | |
| Jul 17, 2017 at 16:47 | comment | added | Izkata | @Shokhet Likewise here, despite having only ever seen The Waters of Mars, I remember others on this site talking about The Corsair switching back and forth | |
| Jul 17, 2017 at 16:42 | comment | added | Shokhet | I know next to nothing about Doctor Who, @Izkata, but that's just not true. I've seen this Time Lady mentioned in the other discussion about whether the Doctor could be female. | |
| Jul 17, 2017 at 14:25 | comment | added | Paul D. Waite | “some early episodes of New Who listed the character as "Doctor Who"” — yup, and that was wrong. “They may now refer to the character as simply "The Doctor" but it is no more or less correct.” — It’s infinitely more correct than the incorrect “Doctor Who”. | |
| Jul 17, 2017 at 14:15 | comment | added | Izkata | @Gallifreyan Just to add some extra confusion, I've seen one or two "She's the first female Time Lord" | |
| Jul 17, 2017 at 14:03 | comment | added | Gallifreyan | @DaveJohnson Or perhaps there is a reason the character is referred to as "the Doctor" now? | |
| Jul 17, 2017 at 14:00 | comment | added | Dave Johnson | @Gallifreyan calling the character "Doctor Who" instead of "The Doctor" is correct. I cannot find the image, but some early episodes of New Who listed the character as "Doctor Who". They may now refer to the character as simply "The Doctor" but it is no more or less correct. | |
| Jul 17, 2017 at 13:48 | comment | added | Nzall | @phantom42 the BBC news department and the BBC television department are different entities. in particular, the news department probably has limited headline space and tries to avoid multiple articles in the same headline. Because of these reasons and the usual rush to be the first outlet reporting on the news, it's to be expected that they're going to be somewhat loose with their titles. Note that they've already adjusted the title to "Doctor Who's 13th Time Lord to be a woman", which is more accurate. | |

| Jul 17, 2017 at 12:54 | comment | added | Gallifreyan | This interview with BBC uses just "Doctor", and so does their Twitter. | |

| Jul 17, 2017 at 12:49 | comment | added | phantom42 | I'm just going based on things like the Facebook headline on my feed today: "BBC Reveals the First Female 'Doctor Who'" | |
| Jul 17, 2017 at 12:36 | comment | added | Gallifreyan | * "first woman Doctor". Even if the main character was called "Doctor Who" previously, that's not the case anymore (as pointed - not after Eccleston, and not even some old Doctors' runs). | |
