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…

April 19th, 2013 - 5:51pmIf Moffat gets this wrong he’s going to have a riot on his hand!

April 19th, 2013 - 5:39pmNooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Why would they do this? 🙁

April 19th, 2013 - 5:37pm“…..When none can speak false or fail to answer….”
The Doctor does not speak, he answers in WRITING! He writes his name, in Galifreyan; which only he can read! (or possibly River as well). Satisfies the prophecy, technically justifies the title and the audience can keep guessing for the next fifty years!
Lets see if I was just as clever as Moffat!!

April 19th, 2013 - 5:42pmseems too easy. If you were asked a question, and couldn’t lie, the first thing you would do is voice the true answer, not think ‘Oh no, where’s a pen when you need one…’
jedi jim
April 19th, 2013 - 5:24pmMaybe it gets all Biblical, like when God reveals His personal name to Moses. ” I am, that I am; tell them I AM commands it!”
So, perhaps the Doctor is Yaweh or Jehova!
(Of course, if that IS it, anything but Silence will fall!!)

April 19th, 2013 - 5:29pmI think so
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
April 19th, 2013 - 6:43pmthats what i was thinking, but if he was i think it would change the way people looked at the show
LEWIS
April 19th, 2013 - 5:03pmI am delighted that Alex Kingston is returnig for the fanale I also wonder what the doctor name is
Dalek Smith
April 19th, 2013 - 4:44pmin actual fact his name has already been revealed in the armageddon factor
Some bloke
April 19th, 2013 - 4:51pmoh yeah ‘thete’ short for theta sigma
Some bloke
April 19th, 2013 - 4:52pmnever really liked drax in that, he was sort of like a galactic plumber/electrician
Some bloke
April 19th, 2013 - 4:52pmor at least the way he spoke and acted reminded me of a plumber or electrician
Anonymous
April 19th, 2013 - 4:55pmTheta Sigma is just a nickname from the Time Lord Acadamy. Or at least, I think so…
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
April 19th, 2013 - 4:37pmNO! don’t reveal his name! all the mystery around him will be gone! No please!

April 19th, 2013 - 4:19pmThere is something behind the doctor but you can’t really see it

April 19th, 2013 - 4:31pmThe TARDIS console, obviously. He’s looking through a broken pane of the window on the TARDIS exterior.
im not here
April 19th, 2013 - 4:34pmI thought it was that
random user
April 19th, 2013 - 4:36pmthat’s scary that it’s a broken window of the tardis. not even genghis khan could get throught. whatever broke that window must be extremely powerful
im not here
April 19th, 2013 - 4:43pmMmmmmhmm
The TARDIS
April 19th, 2013 - 4:16pmRevealing the Doctor’s name is probably the worst thing to do to keep the show alive… It’s survived for 50 years because of the secrecy, and revealing it for the anniversary would be like the ultimate last page. Don’t reveal it Moffat…
The TARDIS
April 19th, 2013 - 4:18pmIf I weren’t so worried about the whole revealing the name thing, I’d have spent time to say… I love the poster! Very mysterious, the doctor hidden in the smashed window. It looks really wonderful. The font is very nice with the time lord writing in it as well.
Doctor Stu
April 19th, 2013 - 4:21pmExactly I do not want Clara or any other companion to not call him ‘Doctor’
If its not really going to be revealed they should put a question mark at the end of the title. Also he says that if his name is spoken then whole universes will collapse so if it is revealed then a whole lot of destruction will occur.
im not here
April 19th, 2013 - 4:33pmI know its like taking a dump on doctor who
random user
April 19th, 2013 - 4:37pmmaybe they will reveal his name. maybe his name is Doctor
Some bloke
April 19th, 2013 - 4:49pmhave you noticed the smashed window is a tardis window
Anonymous
April 19th, 2013 - 4:58pmIt’s a very powerful image I think. Matt Smith looks very… Forboding.

April 19th, 2013 - 5:11pmI think that’s a ally powerful image. Matt Smith looks very… Foreboding.

April 19th, 2013 - 5:11pmReally
The TARDIS
April 19th, 2013 - 5:12pmOops, sent it twice
Doctor Stu
April 19th, 2013 - 4:14pmI do hope that they do not change the name of the actual program once his name is revealed.
Anonymous
April 19th, 2013 - 4:12pmFirst of all I hope the daleks return for the finaly and secondly I think the doctor is more than just another time lord. I think he is an god like figure who is master of his own destiny similer to the cartmell masterplan. I don’t like the idiwa of him being a madman with a box but a lonly god
aged
April 19th, 2013 - 4:11pmThis is so weird though, cause most of the other titles/posters gave away hints as what the episode was about, this time I’m not sure what to expect with this poster.
DoctorWho4Eva
April 19th, 2013 - 4:07pmI think they should reveal the name. Maybe if they had never made a big deal of it and wouldn’t get people excited about it but now they HAVE to.
jedi jim
April 19th, 2013 - 4:03pmSlartibartfast!
or Fred.
Anonymous
April 19th, 2013 - 4:02pmI think that his name is just be Doctor Who, and here’s why I think that!
1. In the underwater menace he gives note to Zaroff signed Dr W
2. In the highlanders he calls him self Doctor von wer. (Doctor who in German!)
And 3. I think that it would do the show justice if it was named after him!!!!

April 19th, 2013 - 3:53pmHold on , I am a bit confused, is the final episode of series 7 the 50th anniversary special or is the 50th anniversary special broadcast on another date?
DoctorWho4Eva
April 19th, 2013 - 4:06pmThis is series 7 finale and the 50th special airs in November.
Some bloke
April 19th, 2013 - 4:47pmnovember 23rd to be precise.

April 19th, 2013 - 3:44pmif the reveld this it would not be called doctor WHO would it think about it
Anonymous
April 19th, 2013 - 3:38pmI heard that someone in The Name of the Doctor, that the someone will kidnap all the Doctors friends and I think there kidnapping his friends to find out his name. So who wants to find his name out in Doctor Who then? Oh Yeah Madame Korvarian and the Silence wanted to know the truth didn’t they? I remember people were saying that she was still out there so could she and the Silence be back? You never know.
random user
April 19th, 2013 - 4:38pmyeah but… what happened to kovarian after her “death” in wedding of river song?
Anonymous
April 19th, 2013 - 4:45pmkovarian and the silence did’t WANT to know the truth, they wanted it to be kept a secret, thats why they were trying to kill him. They want it kept quite because they know that the question ‘Doctor Who?’ will be answered on the fields of trenzalore, and that answer will bring about the end of the universe, meaning the end for the silence
Some bloke
April 19th, 2013 - 4:46pmthat last comment about keeping the answer quite was from me. Forgot to put my name in
Dr who
April 19th, 2013 - 4:49pmI think if is the whispermen or the great intelligence behind it
Some bloke
April 19th, 2013 - 5:00pmoh yeah Dr who, the whispermen as supposed to be in it, but i remember reading somewhere that the great intelligence (richard e grant) was going to be in the finale, along with the past two claras which died, and the daleks, (possibly the daleks and 2 dead claras are in a flashback form or something)

April 19th, 2013 - 3:23pmDoctor: …Alright, fine! I lied. My real name is not John Smith! It’s actually Matt Smith!

April 19th, 2013 - 2:05pmCertainly is set up to be an intruiging finale!!
rt
April 19th, 2013 - 1:47pmWe know that he tells River at some point, because she knows it in “The Library”! So hopefully, he just tells her!
Obsie
April 19th, 2013 - 1:47pmOn checking out the latest photos of the special, is my imagination working overboard or is John Hurt wearing a leather jacket suspiciously similar to Christopher Ecclestone’s one? It would be a way round a problem.
Anonymous
April 19th, 2013 - 4:05pmPrahaps he a replacement for chris you know like richard hardnell in the five doctors( sorry about spelling)
Some bloke
April 19th, 2013 - 4:46pmhe looks nothing like eccleston, and secondly, have you seen what he’s wearing under the jacket?
Obsie
April 19th, 2013 - 1:24pmDo not say it, do not whisper it, do not allude to it. Let him just be the “mad man with a box”. A Fifty year old mystery should remain just that: A Mystery”! Just be a Time Lord, and “seldom interfere with affairs of others “. I do not want to sit with a cushion over my face and cotton wool stuffed in my ears at the risk of anything shattering the years of enjoyment. I’m going to find somewhere to go and be childish again now.
Anonymous
April 19th, 2013 - 4:08pmI don’t think he should be a madman in a box for me the doctor is a godlike figure who is more than just another time lord
iPhil
April 19th, 2013 - 1:05pmDon’t panic, they won’t reveal his name, after all he didn’t die in series 6, really “marry” River and we didn’t meet his “wife”. It’s probably referring to the Doctor’s friends fighting in his name or something like that.

April 19th, 2013 - 12:57pmAgreed!

April 19th, 2013 - 12:11pmI knew it, I guessed it a while back. You can tell when names are getting rubbish when you can guess them weeks or months before they are announced.
Dalek The Supreme
April 19th, 2013 - 12:11pmVery intriguing title, I hope his name isn’t really revealed though, maybe whispered inaudibly. It would take away the meaning of the show.
