:: 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. (Edit: She has also been credited as "Susan Foreman" in Big Finish audios set after the Dalek Invasion - [https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/doctor-who-after-the-daleks-2229 example].) 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.

:::Jack did say "with the exception of ''[[After the Daleks (audio story)|After the Daleks]]''". But I'm in favor of moving her back. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 22:13, 23 November 2022 (UTC) | |||
