May 20th, 2013 - 10:17amOh yeah I see it now. Still thought it was too long. I watched it this morning and thought ‘That doesn’t look like 5 to me’

May 20th, 2013 - 9:48amThe way the 2nd Doctor runs is hilarious

May 20th, 2013 - 9:48amAll the Jon Pertwee episode are in colour, so this answer doesn’t make sense…

May 20th, 2013 - 9:36amthe coat is too pale to be 10s and you can see the red trim on the pocket so it is 5s

May 20th, 2013 - 9:27amI swear that on the third image of where all the doctors run pass clara, the third one is the tenth doctor. The coat is too long and his hair looks more like 10’s

May 20th, 2013 - 7:49amIt was in color, they had to restore or leave B/W the older ones, but it was easier for them to find a color one. The third doctor is also from that episode.

May 20th, 2013 - 7:48amThis happens a lot in the show. Time Lords referring to it as a TARDIS and not a TT capsule (Robert Delgado Master, Invasion of Time, Deadly Assassin, etc.). It’s usually done to avoid confusing the audience, or because the writers got confused or forgot. The idea is that the Doctor traveled around in his “past” and “present” and spread the word into Gallifray’s vernacular, re-writting time so it was a common phrase.

May 20th, 2013 - 7:11amactually its proper name is a type-40 TT capsule

May 20th, 2013 - 6:59amYeah I was wondering about the actor body doubles. Hopefully there will be a behind the scenes mentioning them. Id be interested to see how much the actors actually look like the original actors.

May 20th, 2013 - 5:50amJourney to the Center of the Tardis was awesome, as was this episode. I was hoping that they WOULDN’T tell us his name, I really don’t want to know. He’s the doctor. Done.

May 20th, 2013 - 5:02amwhy did they not show the facees of 6,8,9,and 10 clearly ?
Pierce
May 20th, 2013 - 4:59amI think the more accurate name for the episode would have been ‘In The Name Of The Doctor’, meaning, what that ‘Doctor’ did wasn’t ‘In The Name Of The Doctor’

May 20th, 2013 - 4:54amwhen i seen that the second doctor in LA was a mashup, i was dissapointe to find out that there was no episode of the second doctor in LA

May 20th, 2013 - 4:31amOther models have been called TARDIS before.

May 20th, 2013 - 4:30amWho said it wasn’t Babelcolour who did it?
Correct me if I am wrong, but I heard that he recently done some work for the bbc colourizing for a classic dvd release,I think mind of evil.
Like I said, maybe wrong. But if they did, maybe they got him to do this as well?
Also, It was amazing to see Hartnell in colour.

May 20th, 2013 - 4:25amI believe it would’ve been a bigger let down if they did reavel his name. The whole story of doctor who is his secrets. There would no longer be any mystery if they just traveled his name. This is what makes the show suspenseful and interesting.

May 20th, 2013 - 4:13amI see where you’re coming from, Damien, but he did get married in The Wedding of River Song and considers River his wife, as he considers Jenny his daughter.
The Rancid Terrapin
May 20th, 2013 - 3:42amWhy do the Gallifrey Techs say someone is about to steal a “TARDIS” and not a “Type 40”, when Susan in “Unearthly Child” says she made up the name “TARDIS”?
Damien Wade
May 20th, 2013 - 2:11am“I didn’t like it because they didn’t reveal the Doctor’s name like the title says.” River Song didn’t get married in the series 6 final, as far as I’m concerned The Doctor isn’t married to the TARDIS and Jenny technically isn’t his child.

May 20th, 2013 - 12:44amWonder why they used 5 Doctors version of Pertwee, as he looks a little older than he really should.

May 20th, 2013 - 12:13amLoved Saturdays show can’t wait for November.

May 20th, 2013 - 12:10amThis episode was a major let down for me. I didn’t like it because they didn’t reveal the Doctor’s name like the title says. I was expecting them to give us the name of the Doctor. The Doctor played by John Hurt, is he a future incarnation of the Doctor? I sure hope that the 50th Anniversary special isn’t a major let down like this episode and Journey To The Center of the TARDIS.

May 19th, 2013 - 11:13pmBasically, he is the 9th incarnation of the time lord but noth the 9th doctor.

May 19th, 2013 - 10:44pmI think he is bad in the time line so the 10th and 11th team up to stop hime.
