Talk:The Next Doctor (TV story)

Is there a reference for this? Some we know as fact, some not, but referencing is required.--Hawki 10:46, 23 September 2008 (UTC)


 * yes - it's here Jack's the man - 10:55, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

No
This doesn't warrant for an episode or something called The Next Doctor.
 * Why not? Jack's the man - 12:30, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not quite sure what the unsigned comment is supposed to be about. As Jack indicates, the episode title has been confirmed, so it's legitimate - as legitimate as having an article on The Last Sontaran. 23skidoo 18:49, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Rumors
Obviously with a title like The Next Doctor the rumor mill is going to be churning fast and furious regarding whether Tennant is leaving, or whatever. Remember that Gardner has said he's in all the 2009 specials so it's anyone's guess what the title means. This article will need to be checked to watch out for speculation (I just removed Morissey from the companion column of the infobox, for example). Until RTD makes an announcement, or reputable media (not tabloid) reports some verifiable facts, or - of course - the episode airs any rumors should be confined to the rumors section. 23skidoo 18:49, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Well that took about 10 seconds. An anonymous IP just added "The Doctor" next to Morissey's name. Sigh. 23skidoo 18:54, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Morrissey is The Doctor.Well, one of them. That's why I changed it. Look on the official BBC Doctor Who website. My account isn't signed in and I forgot the password, that's why it isn't showing up.
 * I saw the BBC article. Fair enough, however the article only says Morrisey plays a man who calls himself The Doctor. That means something entirely different. I just bought DWM 400 which has Tennant talking about filming the specials in January, so unless they're pulling a River Song on us, we have no idea whether this is The Doctor. 23skidoo 05:04, 2 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Unless a source can be cited, should we allow anyone to add so called rumors willy nilly? Most of the 'rumors' on this page are just personal supposition in my view, and shouldn't be allowed on here.Smokin Fish 07:25, 10 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Well I'm not entirely happy with such a section myself. I did start it just to have some place for the amount of unsourced information going into the articles, but I would be quite happy if it wasn't there at all. Jack's the man - 10:43, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Why is it called this?
I don't understand that if the Doctor doesn't regenerate and David Morrissey is not the doctor, then how come this episode s called: "The Next Doctor"? -The Doctor Forever 06:23, 24 September 2008 (UTC)


 * If you're curious check out Wikipedia - The Next Doctor contains some additional information. --Tangerineduel 07:53, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
