:: I proposed moving [[Tish Jones]] to [[Letitia Jones]] a few years ago and you [Scrooge] pointed out that "we don't like to stray from TV characters' credits without good reason", which I agree is the right way to do it. Carole Ann Ford's credited as "Susan Foreman" on TV as you've pointed out but, with the exception of ''[[After the Daleks (audio story)|After the Daleks]]'', I believe she's always been credited as "Susan" or "Susan Campbell" by Big Finish. | :: I proposed moving [[Tish Jones]] to [[Letitia Jones]] a few years ago and you [Scrooge] pointed out that "we don't like to stray from TV characters' credits without good reason", which I agree is the right way to do it.

:: It's not just the Hartnell era - she was also credited as Susan Foreman in The Five Doctors. And the BBC radio play "Whatever Happened to Susan Foreman" also shows that audiences 30 years later generally understood the character to be named Susan Foreman. The TV credits should settle the matter, but if people are concerned for some reason about the name being an alias, the eighth Doctor angrily tells I.M. Foreman in Interference that "My granddaughter even named herself after you," so it's evidently a meaningful choice that characters are discussing emotively centuries later rather than some trivial bureaucratic decision.
