Final Series 7 Episode: The Name of the Doctor

Final Series 7 Episode The Name of the Doctor

From the official site…

The title of the series finale has been revealed and is the hugely intriguing: The Name of the Doctor.

The ‘poster’ for the series’ final adventurewas unveiled today and it also confirms that Alex Kingston is back, joining Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman for what promises to be a jaw-dropping end to a spectacular series.

But we’re not there, yet! We’ve still to unravel the mystery of Clara – the woman ‘twice killed’ and yet still by the Doctor’s side… What secrets does she hold? And in the weeks ahead we’ve a trip to a haunted house, a journey to the centre of the TARDIS and a nightmare clash with the mighty Cybermen. But after all those adventures we have The Name of the Doctor and stand by for something that you might always have believed to be impossible…

    What a great title and episode. I cannot praise the story enough, it was the most sombre, gripping and emotional Doctor Who story ever, and IMO it outdoes the previous two finales.

      Hmmmmm not bad, but no don’t think so! Think it is the the side of the doctor that he suppress now. He became the Doctor (healer ) This person we meet (John Hurt) is the side he lets no one see his secret shame. Not who he is now but who he was.

      They didn’t reveal the name of him and J Hurt is the New doctor for a possible series 9

    They shouldn’t reveal the name of the doctor, but I hope they do.
    If we find out the name, the show would no longer be DOCTOR WHO, it would be : (insert name here)

      June 15th, 2013 - 10:38pm

      That’s exactly it. Doctor /Who/. His name was hidden in plain sight all along, but we were to busy being cryptic about if his name was actually ‘John Smith’ or ‘Please’ (tee hee, random reference). I reckon his last name is actually ‘Who’. We’ve just been too blind for too long.

      Just a theory.

    I honestly don’t care if they reveal his name but if they do I suspect that it will be something so bloody long and unpronounceable that “The Doctor” will continue to be the name by which he is referred to in the show and the title of the show will take on a new meaning (as in ‘I heard it but I can’t believe my ears’).

      i mean the doctor could be davros just davros is his 500th regeneration or something

    • anonymous

      May 4th, 2013 - 5:26pm

      1) Time Lords only have 13 lives.
      2) Davros is confirmed to be a Kaled from Skaro, the Doctor is a Time Lord from Gallifrey.
      3) I don’t see how surviving explosions has to do with regenerating because Davros always looks the same.
      4) You should really learn to spell!

      They have ways to get around 13 lives, what happens if the Doctor has a machine to extend his Regenaration life cycle, and just look at the master! How many times did he regenerate?

    it’s a bit odd that the doctor has had lots of companions who try to find out his real name, but clara finds it out easily by that book in “journy to the center of the tardis”

    Half of me thinks they should reveal his name, because I just want 2 know! But It would ruin the whole mystery that was there from the beggining: ‘who is the doctor’

      he is telling the truth its on there it says this

      Q: What can you tell us about the finale?

      SM: It’s full of surprises and questions that have never been answered in the history of Who, including the Doctors greatest secret. We’re not pretending, we’re not kidding, it’s actually going to happen. The episode is called The Name of the Doctor and involves our hero in a conflict that is very, very personal to him. Usually he’s saving other people, but this time he might be the one who needs to be saved. We’ll also find out what makes his new companion so impossible and there’s a surprise that no one has got right so far, and one that will change the course of Who forever!

      And hey, Alex Kingston may be a bit older than Matt Smith, but she’s still beautiful and looks way better than anyone her age would normally look.
