I know Scrooge has a slightly different method for dealing with Fun Book / It's Bigger on the Inside! characters but for Doctor Who? I have found that the only viable route is to identify characters as their real-world counterparts only when explicitly told.

This is because there are varying degrees of meta-fictionalality in the Who?verse. Some stories are set exclusively in-universe, some in the real world, some have DW characers (rather than their actors) working on the show and some are a mixture of all three.
