Talk:First Doctor

Article needs refocussing
Today, I've rolled back several edits made in July 2016 because they were either badly formatted, or just because they were highly speculative.

In truth, this article needs to focus on the person who emerged as the "First Doctor", not the youth of the gestalt being known as the Doctor. Taking all media into account, "the Doctor" is a name that this being chose once he left Gallifrey. Specifically, "the Doctor" arises only in the story, Frayed, though I suppose coverage of him stealing the TARDIS is necessary to set up Frayed.

But it's not his name from the moment he was born until he left Gallifrey, and this is certainly not the place to get into a massive tug of war about Lungbarrow.

Ideally, we should start another article called the Doctor's youth and use that as a place to explore, at greater lengths, the conflicting accounts of his birth and family life. This article, though, should be primarily centered on the timeframe from Frayed to The Tenth Planet. 01:16: Fri 05 Aug 2016
