What is Dr Who's christian name?

Re: Some of life's unanswerable questions...
 

Is he a Christian then? Seems unlikely...

Re: Some of life's unanswerable questions...
 

His christian name is Doctor, in the same way Michael Jackson's brat is called Prince, along with the pompous purple prick previously known as Prince.

I wanted to say "first name" but Doctor would have been too easy a reply.

Re: Some of life's unanswerable questions...
 

Nope, that was simply the Doctor's nickname at the Prydon Academy on Gallifrey, where he supposedly came from. Everybody knows that!

Re: Some of life's unanswerable questions...
 

'Theta Sigma' is his nickname? Those witty Gallifreyans, eh?

Good questions............. they bring to mind Screaming Lord Sutch and his Monster Raving Loony Party manifesto:

"Why is there only one Monopolies Commission?"

Re: Some of life's unanswerable questions...
 

There are specialist forums where this kind of talk is acceptable. Here I imagine it’s a red rag to a bunch of bulls, and frankly, rightly so.

Is it just me, but Doctor Who is a children’s TV program isn’t it? Anyone over the age of 13ish really shouldn’t be interested in it anymore. I really can’t understand why it’s become so en vogue, again.

Re: Some of life's unanswerable questions...
 

It was never solely a children's programme - there was always that sense of mystery and unease aimed at older tastes. And don't forget the original Doctor (as played by William Hartnell) was something of a 'baddie'.

I think the real answer to your question (why it is 'en vogue' again) is that people who started watching it fifty years ago are still interested in the story lines, and watching the series progress. Why give it up?
