Tardis talk:Out-of-universe perspective

Update examples
Jodie Whittaker very much isn't the current Doctor and hasn't been since last October. David Tennant is, and any eventual changes from that present should be changed from date XXX too. -- Tybort (talk page) 14:39, 29 November 2023 (UTC)


 * I think it'd be better to future proof it by linking to Ncuti Gatwa instead. 16:50, 29 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Also, to refute the idea that Ncuti Gatwa being the current Doctor is a spoiler, the Fifteenth Doctor officially appeared in, , and , appeared (sorta) in , not Fourteen, appeared on the cover of Doctor Who The Official Annual 2024, and has been extensively promoted in marketing as the current Doctor alongside Fourteen; they're both current Doctors, frankly. 18:07, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Capaldi outright appeared in The Day of the Doctor but was not current until the last scene of The Time of the Doctor; until then, he was a future Doctor. Pages can treat the small teases of the Fifteenth Doctor as released stories, sure, but that wasn't my point. Who even says that Chris portrays him in Meet the Doctor or that David did in The Hero Factor? I am talking about production terms here, not in-narrative. -- Tybort (talk page) 11:17, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
 * And no, I don't think Meet the Thirteenth Doctor made Jodie current before Twice Upon a Time either. -- Tybort (talk page) 11:21, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
 * My point is that there are two current Doctors. Ncuti's Doctor has appeared all over marketing, tie-in releases, merchandise, in stories, and so on. It is, in my opinion, completely incorrect to assert otherwise. Especially as in a week's time... he will be the only current Doctor. 11:32, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
