That wasn't VANADALISM, First Doctor should have his own page not a redirect to William Hartnell and that has been done for the Seventh, Sixth, Fourth and Ninth Doctors so why not this one too?--84.12.150.235 13:17, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Susan's Departure
The article states that "Susan left the Doctor on 22nd century Earth (The Dalek Invasion of Earth)" but this doesn't seem to sit right with the way the story pans out. While it's true that Susan does leave the TARDIS crew in this story, she doesn't so much leave as get left behind.
I seem to recall the Doctor taking one of her shoes into the TARDIS to "repair" it, then high-tailing it off Earth before she can get in the ship.
Because of this, shouldn't the article state "the Doctor left Susan on 22nd century Earth (The Dalek Invasion of Earth)", to be more accurate? Zoe.r 03:16, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, it should. I tried to provide a bit more context so that it didn't look like he was just abandoning her on a whim! —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 03:43, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
- Looks good, well done! I still can't believe he nicked one of her shoes, though. That's just mean.
- Zoe.r 11:40, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
- Perhaps "The Doctor left Susan on 22nd century Earth without her shoes."--Aderack 11:08, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Inclusion of Tegan
If spin-off characters are listed here, why not Tegan Jovanka?71.254.4.208 06:29, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- John and Gillian appeared in numerous comic strips featuring the first Doctor.[1] Tegan, on the other hand, appeared in precisely one story, and the entire purpose of that story was to bring together various Doctors and companions. It would be rude of me to mention that the only reason you added this here is because it was mentioned as an analogy on Talk:Tenth Doctor.--SB | T 06:45, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] filmed where?
This passage:
- "Due to failing health, however, Hartnell could not participate in any of the regular filming, and his scenes were shot separately at Ealing Studios and his garden at home."
appears to contradict one of the notes provided on The Three Doctors page:
- "Hartnell's scenes were filmed at BBC's Ealing Studios and not in a garage or a garden shed as fan myth would have it."

[edit] five
cn the actor who played him in the five doctors come back and play him in the new series in a doctor crossover and when would it happen ~Last of the time lords

[edit] quoting
Wouldn't be nice to put up a quote of this doctor on the page. Here is one from The Massacre "Perhaps I should go home, back to my own planet. But I can't". You could do it for all the other doctors too. (Speaker180 (talk)) 20:18, 14 February 2008
- It's a fun idea, but it doesn't really fit an encyclopedic tone. Articles should try to focus as much on real-world information as possible. That's one reason we're moving away from quotes as picture captions. --Brian Olsen (talk) 18:51, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Spin-Off Stuff
I got rid of that pointless list of all of the fanfictions he appeared in. It clogged up the page, and if we have to have one of those lists it should bloody well be about the television series rather than these glorified fanfics. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charmought (talk • contribs) 11:39, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Reverted for now - while the list may need cleanup, much of it appears to be official spin-off material (i.e. Big Finish audio etc.) and shouldn't be removed entirely. --Ckatzchatspy 19:32, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Surely the TV series is more official though? Why is there no list for telly episodes? Charmought —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.2.19.106 (talk) 23:38, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
