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…

    Maybe 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

    That’s not a bad idea at all! 🙂

    I 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? 🙂

    I 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. 🙂

    They 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”

    Anyone 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.

    Even 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.

    It’s looking through the TARDIS window. So it would be the console.

    Erm….I don’t think so. I hope they don’t reveal the Doctors name either

    Things 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 .

    is that a euphemism ‘river song’s history’

  • Dalek The Supreme

    April 19th, 2013 - 8:31pm

    That would actually be very clever! Maybe he will do that! 😉

  • Dalek Smith

    April 19th, 2013 - 8:17pm

    moffat 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

  • the astronaut of death

    think 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 🙂

    If Moffat gets this wrong he’s going to have a riot on his hand!

    seems 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…’
