Line 218:
** Mark Sheppard playing Canton Delaware, a genuinely heroic character.
** Sylvester McCoy had, prior to his role as the Doctor, been best known for vaudeville, kid's T.V., juggling, human blockhead exploits and the such, including, for some reason, stuffing ferrets down his trousers. As the Doctor, while at first still playing a variation on his previous roles, he eventually grew into one of the most straight-up manipulative, amoral, calculating incarnations of the Doctor.
* [[Promoted Fanboy|Promoted Fanboys]]: [[David Tennant]] and [[Steven Moffat]].
** Tennant's case is a particularly amazing one. Not only did he start acting ''just'' to become the Doctor, there was a special that landed him with his favorite Doctor, [[Peter Davison]]. The following year, Tennant met Peter's daughter Georgia, fell in love and proposed, later having a child together, Olivia. Not only is Tennant clearly the ''ultimate'' [[Promoted Fanboy]], but Olivia is the only person who can claim both her father and grandfather were the Doctor.
** Moffat's case is pretty amazing in and of itself, when you consider that he's getting the chance to put [http://groups.google.com/group/rec.arts.drwho/browse_thread/thread/7cd734f99a62ae98/c845f05e9b213df9?pli=1 ideas he thought of back in 1995] into the show now.
** Matthew Waterhouse (Adric) and the author of his [[Doctor Who/Recap/S18/E03 Full Circle|introduction story]], Andrew Smith.
* [[Sure Why Not]]: In the non-canon [[Comic Relief]] special "The Curse of Fatal Death", the Doctor regenerates into a woman. In ''The End of Time'', the Eleventh Doctor feels his face and hair and freaks out, thinking he's regenerated into a woman. In "The Doctor's Wife", the Doctor mentions that the Corsair has had both male and female incarnations.
** The idea of the word "doctor" meaning wise man or healer and deriving from the Doctor himself has been in [[Steven Moffat]]'s mind [http://groups.google.com/group/rec.arts.drwho/browse_thread/thread/7cd734f99a62ae98/c845f05e9b213df9?lnk=st&q&hl=en&pli=1 for at least 16 years, back when he was just a fan].
