Doppelgänger

This article needs a big cleanup.

Massive amounts of conjecture is on this page to list in-universe Doppelgängers who have never been stated to be in-text. As per T:VALID, we cannot say something if the source doesn't tell us, and the mere reuse of actors is not good enough due to it being an occasional decision by movies and television to act as if two characters portrayed by the same actor do not look alike within a production.

These problems might be so great that the article's factual accuracy has been compromised. Talk about it here or check the revision history or Manual of Style for more information.

Doppelgängers were individuals who were identical to other individuals. According to the Second Doctor, the idea of a doppelgänger could be found in folklore and myth across almost every civilisation. It was suggested that if two doppelgängers met, one of them would die. (AUDIO: The Night Witches)
