Almost certainly not. Can you imagine the War Doctor going around like that?


 * The Time War. Daleks fly in the sky overhead. All is dark, all is lost. Buildings burn and lives end, revert, end, and revert. A mother and a child cower in a corner, surrounded by flames. The flames part, and a man approaches them. Tall, strapped in weathering clothing, and with a strong brown beard, he looks down at them with a slightest worry that the age of eyes suggests should be impossible.


 * The man pauses, and briefly states: "come with me."


 * The mother rises, still scared of the mysterious man. "Who are you?"


 * The man pauses. "I have many names. These days I'm known by the first."


 * * Close up shot *
 * "Basil."

My point is that it was clearly a joke.
