Amy and Clara were definitely not in love with the Doctor in the same way that Rose and Martha were.

I think he probably left a very small force which left once they found out he'd been killed. Any civilians are probably in hiding from the giant, mysterious fleet that just arrive.d

Major strategic value, as was explained in, you know, this episode. Since Stannis died, when, end of Season 5, it was actually Kevan who was running things in King's Landing. Presumably he never got his act together to send a force out to retake it.

They might also have bounced when they found out Stannis was dead.

You'd not have spoiled it since nobody would have believed you had any idea what you're talking about. So, were you right?

Well…Missy, who's known the Doctor longer than any other character who's appeared on the revived series, in an episode written by a guy who's written more televised Doctor Who than any other writer ever, just said the Doctor's name is "Doctor Who." I think it's acceptable.

I can't operate on this man: he's my son!

I mean, his third episode was "Robot of Sherwood" and his fifth was "Time Heist." It's not like they didn't have any levity in Series 8.

Not necessarily chooses to, at least in a conscious way. We did see Romana choosing her next body in "Destiny of the Daleks," which was rather unfortunate, all things considered (it's a fun scene written by Douglas Adams, and was probably necessary since Graham Williams had stupidly failed to make a regeneration…

Saward was flying by the seat of his pants, and wrote a script at the last minute after Robert Holmes (who was supposed to write it) died. He definitely made it up as he went along, even if the Bakers were then legally obligated to make something different up after he quit.

Whittaker is older than Davison, Tennant, and Smith were when they were announced for the part. Barely younger than McGann and only a few years younger than Tom Baker, Colin Baker, and Eccleston. Ages of Doctors at the time they took on the role:

Between "The War Machines" and "World Enough and Time," it's clearly canon that his name is "Doctor Who."

I guess there's also Mark Gatiss in The Web of Caves.

James Goss has written for 1st, 3rd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, and the David Warner Unbound Doctor.

So, then, in order of the first time they played the Doctor, I've got:

The "Nardole Adventures" is coming to Big Finish just as soon as Briggs can sign Lucas. If they can't manage that, they'll produce 12 series of audios based around Samantha Spiro's character.

Certainly plenty of stories where the entire supporting cast bites it - Pyramids of Mars, Horror of Fang Rock, Caves of Androzani come to mind.

Shakespeare often seemed to think not, I should think. He wrote rather more comedies than tragedies.

It would take them months to traverse in *Floor 900 time*. Much less in Floor 507 time.

Do we count, like, Frazer Hines as the 2nd Doctor in various Big Finish audios and that kind of thing?
