(Cut & Paste from the WP:WHO talk page, in regards to the "New and Classic series table") What about adding people who've appeared in the Classic Series and Torchwood? Or people who have appeared as different characters in the new series and Torchwood? I'm thinking of John Normington (Trevor Sigma - The Happiness Patrol, Tom Flanagan - " Ghost Machine") and Yasmin Bannerman (Jabe - " The End of the World", DI Kathy Swanson " They Keep Killing Suzie"). -- GracieLizzie 23:18, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Could you add John Barrowman/Captain Jack Harkness into the table? DoctorWhoEditor2 ( talk) 20:08, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
Could you also add Noel Clarke/ Mickey Smith? EpicMeeper ( talk) 15:15, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
I added info to the A's - the serials they appeared in, the year, and the character. I didn't pay any particular attention to formatting - I imagine someone else will come up with a better way to organize this. I just thought it would be helpful to have the info there. -- Brian Olsen 18:37, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
I will be adding as much information as possible to this list.My reference is Who's Next An Unofficial and Unauthorised Guide to Doctor Who.This is a guidebook to the Classic Series.Please note unauthorised in the sense of not being authorised by the BBC.

What is the official word here? for new vs old and italics vs quotes?
In an old series show, there would be say 6 episodes in, for example The Armageddon Factor, which were refered to as "parts" numbered 1-6, all of which were a part of the serial called The Keys to Time, so would Armageddon be Italic or quote? Would Keys be italic or quote?
In the new series, each weekly episode has it's own title, is part of a full season story arc and may be part of a multi-episode storyline. For example, Empty Child/Doctor Dances are a two part story line, part of the Bad Wolf story arc, and episodes in themselves. I'm confused about which should be formatted in which way (which is why I kept fixing your fixes...sorry)
Would you spell it out for me, or let me know where I can find it? Sorry I'm not as up on this as I could be, but I am learning.

I cannot find Esther Freud in any cast list, nor can I find any mention of our favorite physician on her page. Anybody know why she's here??? PP ( talk) 18:26, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Although in the Day of the Doctor Billie Piper was credited as playing Rose Tyler she wasn't actually playing her but the Moment in her image as Bad Wolf, so should Rose Tyler be listed in the cast table under the 2013 Specials? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.172.143.100 ( talk) 18:20, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
Should K9 be listed as one companion or should Mark I and II be separate companions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.172.143.100 ( talk) 03:57, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
Should this page be converted to "List of Doctor Who characters"? At the moment it's just a boring page with random incomplete tables of an A-Z of cast members. A bit like the Game of Thrones characters page, we could have a brief section for each of the Doctors, companions etc. since that page doesn't seem to exist on Wikipedia yet. i.e. something to the effect of what I've briefly drafted below (obviously way more info will need adding).

The Doctor (season 1-26, series 1-10) portrayed by various actors since the shows inception, is an alias used by a centuries old Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey. The Doctor travels through space and time in a time machine called the TARDIS, frequently with various companions. To date, thirteen actors have portrayed the character as the series lead. The transition to each succeeding actor is explained within the show's narrative through the plot device of "regeneration", a biological function of his race that allows their change of cellular structure and appearance with recovery following a potentially fatal injury. The First Doctor (season 1–4) portrayed by William Hartnell in season 1-4, Richard Hurndall in 1983's " The Five Doctors" and David Bradley in series 10. This is the Doctor's "original form". The Second Doctor (season 4–6) portrayed by Patrick Troughton. The Third Doctor (season 7–11) portrayed by Jon Pertwee. The Fourth Doctor (season 11–18) portrayed by Tom Baker. The Fifth Doctor (season 18–21) portrayed by Peter Davison. The Sixth Doctor (season 21–23) portrayed by Colin Baker. The Seventh Doctor (season 24–26) portrayed by Sylvester McCoy. The Eighth Doctor portrayed by Paul McGann. The War Doctor portrayed by John Hurt. The Ninth Doctor (series 1) portrayed by Christopher Eccleston. The Tenth Doctor (series 1–4) portrayed by David Tennant. The Eleventh Doctor (series 5–7) portrayed by Matt Smith. The Twelfth Doctor (series 8–10) portrayed by Peter Capaldi. The Thirteenth Doctor (series 11–present) portrayed by Jodie Whittaker. This is the Doctor's first female form. |
I believe that the guest cast sections should be deleted from this article, the sections prepended by "Actors with one-off appearances and roles that have never been reprised".
Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information; for example, excessive listings of unexplained statistics
. The recurring information has value, but one-off appearances are barely notable. Deleting these specific tables would also make this article a lot more manageable. --
