:::: In ''[[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|An Unearthly Child]]'', Susan attends [[Coal Hill School]] under the alias [[Susan Foreman]], apparently taking the surname from the fact that [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] is parked in [[I.M. Foreman]]'s scrap yard (some tie-in novels proposed that I.M. Foreman was a fellow [[Time Lord]] and friend of the Doctor). Naturally, [[Ian Chesterton|Ian]] later addresses the girl's grandfather as "Dr. Foreman." [[First Doctor|The Doctor]] responds in confusion, "Eh? Doctor ''who?''" '''This became a running joke in several episodes across the decades.''' While "Doctor Who" was originally meant to be the character's alias, it instead became a question for the audience. | :::: In ''[[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|An Unearthly Child]]'', Susan attends [[Coal Hill School]] under the alias [[Susan Foreman]], apparently taking the surname from the fact that [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] is parked in [[I.M.

::::Quotes from reference books are essentially making an interpretation of what's in the stories. It's not proof of what the author intended. As CzechOut has said above most of the 'doctor who?' questions are a result of the Doctor's name. | |||
::::The reference books' analysis would be fine to help construct a paragraph on the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' page but it can't be used to justify this page's existence. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 08:03, May 31, 2014 (UTC) | |||
