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…

May 22nd, 2013 - 12:07pmWhat 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.
McGann is the Doctor

Tardis girl
June 15th, 2013 - 9:36pmHmmmmm 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.

May 18th, 2013 - 8:36pmThey didn’t reveal the name of him and J Hurt is the New doctor for a possible series 9
As matt smith is doing series 8
DALEK121
May 18th, 2013 - 6:14pmThey 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)
lol

May 9th, 2013 - 4:04pmDoctor who?!?!
RYCBAR123
June 15th, 2013 - 10:38pmThat’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.
Bailey fan
May 7th, 2013 - 1:22pmOne episode left so nightmere in silver then the final episode I want know his real name instead of calling himself the doctor
anonymous
May 4th, 2013 - 5:01pmThey better not reveal the name…and if they do I hope they later figure out a reason it could be a lie…

May 9th, 2013 - 4:03pmThis is scary I don’t want to know it now only in the 50th aniversry
dalek fan
May 28th, 2013 - 8:28pmi agree.
Sid Rat
May 2nd, 2013 - 9:29amI 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’).

May 2nd, 2013 - 2:13am“My name is… Rotcod!! Yes, I know, Doctor spelled backwards, damn my mother! Rubbish name, terribly embarrassing! She named me for her brothers; ROTham and CODerell!”

April 28th, 2013 - 2:07pmWait… Is this the end of Doctor Who? The end, the real end? I’m scared right now…

April 29th, 2013 - 9:31amno there going to be the 50th special and series 8
mr beans brother
April 28th, 2013 - 11:04amwould it be wiered if the doctor was atualy davros because dav is alway surviving explosion n stuff so he could have regenerated
mr beans brother
April 28th, 2013 - 11:05ami mean the doctor could be davros just davros is his 500th regeneration or something
anonymous
May 4th, 2013 - 5:26pm1) 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!
Anonymous
May 17th, 2013 - 7:13amThey 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?
dalek fan
May 19th, 2013 - 8:38pmi think 6.
mr beans brother
April 28th, 2013 - 10:57amit’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”
dalek fan
May 28th, 2013 - 8:26pmyeah.it sounds like guthasaw.
geronimo2605
April 28th, 2013 - 9:57amHalf 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’
euh…
April 22nd, 2013 - 11:35pmIn fact, we’ll learn that he forgot it long time ago… Ashamed, he keeps the “mystery” to look clever^^
Or his name is… Simba! lol

April 22nd, 2013 - 6:07pmOMG… A News Article popped up THAT THERE REVEALLING THE DOCTORS NAME! Don’t say anything! Look on the official site now!

April 22nd, 2013 - 6:19pmLook, whoever you are, its not there
im still not here
April 27th, 2013 - 12:33pmhe 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!
Lol
April 22nd, 2013 - 5:25pmThey will not give the doctors name but it will be something related like he tells a cast member
COME.BACK.RUSSELL.
April 22nd, 2013 - 2:50pmSorry but if they’re going to bring back River Song then please stop her flirting with The Doctor. Alex Kingston is like 50 years old and she makes me cringe.
euh…
April 22nd, 2013 - 11:21pmThe Doctor is 1000 years old… He should find someone else, as old as he is…
georgia-doctor
April 24th, 2013 - 7:27amAnd 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.
ForeverDalek2313
April 27th, 2013 - 12:35pmYou do know that the Doctor and River are married.
