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…

‘The ilence are determined to stop you getting to Tranzalore’
Maybe it will show im about to say his name but is interupted by an explosian or the Tardis suddenly takes off whilst they are in her?

April 21st, 2013 - 1:15amThere being no satisfactory wrapping up the plot in series 5 or in series 6 is the KEY reason I have had a problem with Steven Moffat’s creative control and gave my name here as The Moffa Paradox.
Doctor who is NOT JJ Abraham’s Lost in which things are thrown in without making any coherent overall sense or made seemingly too cryptic or ambigous so it needs endless debate about what is actually going on in the series taken as a whole.
Unless its spelled what “Silence Will Fall When When The Question Is Asked Which Is Unknown” actually means beyond nebulous gibberish and how it all relates to series 5 & 6 at the end of Series 7 or in the 50th anniversary special then I will be forced ( especially after seeing last week’s “Cold War” that I really enjoyed) to come to a conclusion that I think others have had at the back of their heads as well.
Namely remove Steven Moffat from creative control and put Mark Gattis in his place!

April 21st, 2013 - 9:30amI completly agree with you srevan moffat was a bad chocie they should of put mark gateist incharge plus asylum of the daleks was terrible

April 21st, 2013 - 1:14amWhat if his name was always just ‘Doctor’ and there really was no mystery? Either way I don’t want to find out sozzy :/
Anonymous
April 21st, 2013 - 1:52amNo when gaillifreyains are introduced to the time vortex they choose another name to go by like the doctor chose the doctor because he wanted to help people when the master choose it because he wanted to control people
run you clever boy and remember
April 20th, 2013 - 7:29pmi dont think that they will reveal the doctors name, but why he is called the doctor .who agrees
Anonymous
April 20th, 2013 - 5:45pmSo in The Name of the Doctor we may find out his name but what about Clara? We are going to find out who she is at the End won’t we. But I got a funny feeling that Clara may be The Doctor’s Granddaughter, who else thinks that and agrees with me?

April 20th, 2013 - 8:59pmWhy does everyone forget that clara snogged the doctor and have flirted wit him on many occasions

April 20th, 2013 - 10:13pmSorry I don’t understand, wit him :S Don’t understand these people these days 😀

April 21st, 2013 - 4:56pmI think she may be the person from ‘the doctors daughter’ who regeerated at the endbut in a different regeneration?

April 20th, 2013 - 4:27pmFirst 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
Anonymous
April 20th, 2013 - 4:34pmWoah, hang on dude, what makes you say the Daleks are returning ?.
There’s been no mention of them returning any time soon, so my guess is your wishing really hard for them to return in the finale only to be extremely disappointed when they won’t turn up.
Just cos Daleks are the best Doctor Who villan’s ever created does not mean they have to be in the finale all the time..

ROB STATE
April 20th, 2013 - 2:42pmMoff has got a strange obsession with this, dating back to Silence In The Library/FOTD, so i imagine it will tie up River Song’s connection with wispering it to the tenth, but… its just not that interesting, and like a lot of other fans have said, why does it need to be spelled out?
The TARDIS
April 20th, 2013 - 3:41pmI agree, I’m just not interested in the Doctor’s name. Do we need to know it? No. Will knowing the answer make the show any better? No. Does being asked the question make the show any more interesting? No. It just really annoys the fans.
Ben Roberts
April 20th, 2013 - 2:29pmThe texture of the episode title is Galifreyan writing! What if the Doctor’s name is revealed – but written in Galifreyan so no-one can read it. We already know from AGMGTW that the TARDIS doesn’t translate Galifrey.
Lea
April 20th, 2013 - 2:27pmI don’t want them to reveal the name it will spoil the mystery about him
Big D
April 20th, 2013 - 4:00pmI so agree Lea.

April 27th, 2013 - 10:15pmi agree, it is Doctor Who not

April 20th, 2013 - 2:18pmOh My God, i seriously had not noticed that it was the tardis til u said! Are they really gonna destroy the tardis again so soon? *Mind Boggles*
TheDoctorGallifrey
April 20th, 2013 - 9:43amMaybe this is where River finds out his name! When the question is asked, he would whisper it in her ear, fulfilling the prophecy! Another way could be him saying my name is… then closing theme, and in the 50th anniversary just as he was about to say his name, all his other 10 incarnations would turn up and stop him from saying it, with the music ‘the majestic tale(of a madman in a box)’.
These are in my opinion the perfect resolutions
Anonymous
April 20th, 2013 - 9:58amI wouldn’t like the others stopping him saying his name as it makes him sound like he’s not as clever as the others and doesn’t know as much( when he knows more as he has lived longer, so knows what they know and more) and as if he doesn’t really care if he says his name or not. I don’t know if it makes sense or not, but that’s my opinion.
dr u no
April 20th, 2013 - 8:44amits gonna be a rubbish episode eney way and its only got the whispermen and the great intelligance plus they river song in it
Time lord
April 20th, 2013 - 11:17amMaybe the silence as well

April 20th, 2013 - 12:34pmThe whisper men are those trickster-like creatures with those top hats, if you see the series 7b trailer you should see them or try googling it

April 20th, 2013 - 1:02pmThe daleks were mentioned in the news concerning series 7
Professor When
April 20th, 2013 - 8:18amI always had this idea that if his name was ever revealed, it would be in a situation where it was said by the whole universe in every language, so you would just hear ‘hussnjnyopeadonsawohomopah’. What do you guys think? 🙂
The Supreme Dalek
April 20th, 2013 - 9:24amThat’s not a bad idea at all! 🙂

April 20th, 2013 - 8:03amThey can’t just reveal his name out can they? But at the Academy they called The Doctor Theta Sigma, on earth he calls himself John Smith, Davros called him Destroyer of Worlds, and The Daleks called him The Oncoming Storm and now The Predator but should they reveal his name? Like Ian Chesterton said “If we knew his name we would of had a clue to all this”

April 20th, 2013 - 3:38pmAlthough stevan moffat( or mo fat) probably won’t beacuaes ( stevan moffats vocie) “Im proud of asylum of the daleks its the best story evar” than stevan moffat will swear at some dr who fans for sayimg that asylum was terrible. I really hope they will be back but i doughbt moffat will bring them back
Big D
April 20th, 2013 - 4:02pmI really liked Asylum. One of the best stories in the Matt Smith reign.
Anonymous
April 20th, 2013 - 4:26pmAsylum was terrible how can you like the story. yes every one has there own opion but asylum was terrible, it had plot holes the size of the grand canion, there where barley any classic daleks, evan though I hated amy and rory I still felt that there divorce was forched and tacked on and whats up with the i can’t have children something happond at demons run nothing happond to you at demons run and you already have a child river remember and the ending was terrible just terrible
Swordsrus
April 20th, 2013 - 10:24pmI Hated how they wiped the daleks memory! That bascicly removes them from the show
wut
April 19th, 2013 - 11:20pmAnyone else thinking that this could lead back to the chunk of TARDIS found in the cracks in time during Series 5? The Doctor is looking through a damaged TARDIS window after all and the plot was never actually wrapped up in Series 6 or even mentioned for that matter.
Professor When
April 20th, 2013 - 8:16amI think the broken TARDIS piece was from when the TARDIS blew up and became the sun which the Doctor flew the Pandorica into to make the Big Bang Two. 🙂

April 20th, 2013 - 11:33ammaybe its the tardis on the ending in the end of time part 2
wut
April 20th, 2013 - 2:20pmAh, Professor When, you’re right. I somehow forgot all about that.
wut
April 20th, 2013 - 2:22pmAlthough saying that, I remember The Doctor saying at the end of The Big Bang something like “whatever destroyed the TARDIS is still out there” before getting that phone call.
BisonTime
April 19th, 2013 - 11:08pmEven if his name is revealed, The mystery’s around the doctor wont end,
for one we do not know how the eight regenerated to the ninth
we don’t know who his family is
and most of all we shall not know how he dies or even his full story,
so we still have mysteries to go on.
Sebatron
April 21st, 2013 - 4:09amFair point but we won’t have the most important mystery, and the show’s name won’t be relevant!
Dalekdino27
April 19th, 2013 - 8:48pmThings that I have noticed in the poster that seem to be noteworthy:
1. The episode title “the name of the doctor” has galifraian writing on it.
2. Behind the doctor in the picture there is a blue light with a shadow on it .
Anonymous
April 19th, 2013 - 9:36pmIt’s looking through the TARDIS window. So it would be the console.
Dalek Smith
April 19th, 2013 - 8:17pmmoffat won’t dare risking telling the doctors name as almost everyone will disagree with him instead the doctor will probably whisper it in river songs history
Anonymous
April 19th, 2013 - 8:32pmis that a euphemism ‘river song’s history’
Doctor Stu
April 19th, 2013 - 9:22pmErm….I don’t think so. I hope they don’t reveal the Doctors name either
Dalek Smith
April 19th, 2013 - 9:22pmyes silence in the library/forest of the dead only its the other wary round
Dalek Smith
April 19th, 2013 - 9:23pmshe only whispers it
the astronaut of death
April 19th, 2013 - 7:29pmthink at the end of the finale we will see
the doctor saying
my name is…. then it flashes into black screen and say dr who will return in the 50th annervesry. then at the start of the anniversary we will see the doctor has said it and now we are seeing the events after this taking plaice so the fans will never know 🙂
Dalek The Supreme
April 19th, 2013 - 8:31pmThat would actually be very clever! Maybe he will do that! 😉
