* A truncation of ''[[Doctor Who]]'', not officially used by the BBC and technically incorrect as it suggests it is a character name. However, "Dr Who" was used in the ending credits to refer to the main character, [[the Doctor]] in episodes produced between 1963 and 1969, and the ''[[Radio Times]]'' listings magazine regularly listed the series as ''Dr. Who''. The 1965 Armada Books edition of the novelisation ''[[Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks]]'' also used this form.
