What is Doctor Who's real name?

Doctor Who's name has never been revealed. He just calls himself The Doctor.

Sometimes he introduces himself by saying, "I am The Doctor." And the person says, "Who?"

He also commonly refers to himself using the alias "John Smith" but again this is not a real name.

The Doctor is sometimes also referred to as Theta Sigma however this was a nickname from his time at the "Prydon Academy" on Gallifrey.

What is going to happen in Doctor Who 2008?

In the 2008 season of Doctor Who, the Tenth Doctor continues to have adventures in time and space with his companion Donna Noble. They encounter various alien threats and mysteries, including the return of the Sontarans and the debut of the Ood. The season culminates in a two-part finale where the Doctor faces off against the Daleks and the Medusa Cascade crisis.

How come Captain Jack Harkness didn't get sucked up in the void at the Battle of Canary Wharf if he had space stuff on him from being in the TARDIS?

He was in the 18th century because his time vortex manipulater malfuntioned and sent him there so he had to wait until the 21st century to find the doctor again (so he was there then)

The simple answer is that Jack never visited the parallel Earth so he never passed through the void. Only the Doctor, Rose and Mickey (and the TARDIS) passed through the void from this side.

So the real question should be, why didn't the TARDIS get pulled into the void. --- to heavy :)

But didn't he get back to earth between then coz' how come he is in Torchwood now when he hasn't seen the doctor in 5,000 years?

This is a different person: Jack was actually born in the 51st century. he was born in Boeshane Peninsula

How old is the Doctor?

The Doctor from the the british tv show Doctor Who is about 900 earth years old ,to be precise he is (as of Season 4 of the new series) 903 years old.

Although it is uncertain his exact age as he keeps changing his mind! He was 900 in series one, two and three then suddenly in 'The Voyage of the Damned' he was 903 so i dont think the Doctor even knows to be honest.

What is a TARDIS?

A time travelling machine. TARDIS stands for Time And Relative Dimensions In Space.

The Tardis is bigger on the inside using transcendental dimensions, meaning when you step inside you step into a different plane. Think a Star-gate.

The Tardis has a chameleon circuit which will allow it to "blend in" with the environment but currently it is broken.

It also has a translation module which allows people who used the Tardis to hear all alien languages as their mother language.

Does the TARDIS have a toilet?

The TARDIS is a fictional time machine in the Doctor Who series, and its interior is endlessly vast and can change at will. While a toilet is never explicitly shown on the show, it is believed to have one as it is a functioning spaceship that accommodates the needs of its occupants.

What is the Doctor's real name on the show Doctor Who?

They don't tell you on the show.

He likes to hide his name from people, so he says his name is The Doctor. If you have seen The Forest of The Dead, you will see that a future doctor told a future woman his real name.

What is a Dalek?

Daleks are (possibly the most familiar) antagonists in the British sci-fi series, Doctor Who.

They are Kaled mutants operating within individual mobile weapons platforms constructed from dalekanium (super-strong alloys with polycarbides). The Kaleds originated on the planet Skaro as great philosophers and scientist who were waged war upon by their planetary companions, the war-like Thals. Generations of bitter and increasingly vicious warfare ensued between Thals and the Kaleds on Skaro (the Thousand Year War).

The Thals succeeded in quashing the Kaleds and settled down to a more peaceful existence, but this did not last for more than a few centuries before hostilities returned. While technologically well-matched, the Kaleds focused on surviving the wrath of the Thals while the Thals focused on utterly destroying the Kaleds, resulting in a tactical stalemate as the Thals designed horrifyingly destructive weapons, but were unable to overcome the Kaled's defences- neither side was capable of achieving victory. Both races ultimately rendered their planet a wasteland, surveying all they had wrought from the protection of their domed cities.

The environment had been poisoned with high levels of radiation (to which the Thals were greatly more resistant). The Kaleds suffered progressive mutations until their withered bodies struggled to sustain them. They developed self-contained life-support and transportation units to move around in according to the design of the crippled and twisted chief Kaled scientist, Davros, whose demented machinations (including the further corruption of the Kaled genetic constitution) lead him to become the progenitor of the Daleks as they are now known- combining his genetically-engineered mutants with weaponised 'travel machines' based upon his own mobility device.

Davros eventually betrayed the Kaleds by providing information that would allow the Thal to penetrate Kaled defences. When the Thals destroyed a Kaled city, Davros used this new and horrifying threat as reason to unleash his Daleks- the ultimate weapons. Despite a few obstructions and hiccups caused by interference from early incarnations of The Doctor, the Daleks rose to found a vast inter-galactic empire, ultimately waging war upon the Timelords themselves.

The Dalek catchphrase is "EXTERMINATE!" Their voices (loud, modulated machine-like monotones) are far from pleasant, and help to enhance their rather unfriendly countenance, especially when barking their catchphrase as a ice-breaker when meeting (read: conquering) new species..

Outwardly, Daleks are mobile weapons platforms, standing as tall as (or taller than) a human, with a domed 'head' from which a rod-like eye-stalk projects terminating in a spherical 'eyeball' containing their visual sensory equipment, and usually a light either side that illuminates when the Dalek 'speaks'. The front mid-section of the Dalek hosts (usually) two appendages; conventionally a dis-integrator ray (a formidable energy weapon which produces a distinctive sound when fired) and a telescopic, multi-role, plunger-like manipulator device. There are some historical variations upon the design, including Daleks with clamps/grippers or tools in place of their manipulator appendage, heavy-weapons Daleks with large-bore weapons and heavier armour, and command/coordinator Daleks with large, spherical modules in place of the dome.

The lower portion of the Dalek chassis, the 'skirt', is embedded with a number of metallic spheres which are presumed to form part of a sensor array, though these have been seen to detach in one Dalek self-destruct sequence, hovering in formation around the Dalek and generating a bubble field around the Dalek prior to its disintegration. Daleks can generate a localised shield which protects them almost completely from all kinetic and most energy weapons, though their armour is impenetrable to most conventional weapons anyway.

Daleks have a hierarchy whose ranks are denoted by various colour schemes and small size/design variations. Despite their unshakeable belief in their own superiority as the Universe's master race, civil wars, racial differentiation (through further genetic manipulation), and even theological differences have led to various splits in their factions; Daleks, it would appear, are not above exterminating each other once in a while. In fact, it is not entirely uncommon for Daleks to exterminate inferiors who fail to meet performance targets.

Initially thought to achieve locomotion via a spherical, uni-directional bearing upon which the entire chassis is mounted and requiring metallic paths and/or distributed energy fields to provide power, it has since been revealed that Daleks now actually hover just above the ground, and are able to effectively fly when required. They have also been seen emerging from complete submersion in water and operating in space without difficulty.

The creature inside the machine shares little in appearance with its humanoid Kaled ancestors. Whereas Davros was roughly humanoid, though horribly disfigured and partially integrated with his own mobility system, Daleks seen outside of their protective war machines are not even remotely humanoid. Their current form is reminiscent of an octopus, with a number of tentacle-like appendages, vestigial facial features, an exposed brain, and a single large eye. They are not to be underestimated in this vulnerable condition, however, as they are as hateful and violent even without their weapons, and possess the strength to kill a target via strangulation. Earlier depictions of Kaled mutants have included green blobs with tentacles, and even crab-like mutations with claws.

Their most reviled enemy is the renegade Timelord known as The Doctor, who has repeatedly thwarted their evil, xenophobic plans. They covet the technology of the Timelords, and strive to similarly master space and time, if only to conquer it utterly; they have enjoyed some success with their own endeavours, but nothing so sophisticated or advanced as Timelord Tardis technology. The Doctor's Tardis, an obsolete model that was retired from service long before The Doctor stole it, is possibly the last known in the Universe (just as The Doctor is possibly the last living Timelord) as a result of the Time Wars which resulted in near-absolute destruction of both Dalek and Timelord races thanks to a final solution employed by The Doctor himself ("near", as the odd Timelord or lost Dalek warship still crawls out of the woodwork to stir things up once in a while); for this reason, obtaining it would be a great prize for any remaining Daleks, and could spell the beginning of a new Dalek age... and a brutal end for all life everywhere, everywhen!

Terry Nation created the concept of a Dalek, telling the press that the 'Dalek' name originated from spines of encyclopaedias, and 'simply rolled off the typewriter'.

What happens when a Time Lord has an offspring with a human?

I'm really confused. Does a human child is half time lord?

true answer: srry but it dies because human brains are slowish and timelords are always thinking scheming runn 100000 miles an hour which would kill a human there for he cant but he does have a clone like thing where his hands that was cut off and has reginarating powers touched by Donna noborn makes another doctor half human and she becomes have time lord and nearly dies (the other doctor stays with rose and they are married or something idk)

Okay first off if the above explanation was true the doctor would be dead. He's half human on his mother's side the film confirmed it. The reason Donna got hurt was because she is pure human and thus couldn't cope with the overload of information, like running vista on an amstrad. it might be able to cope for a short while but then the ram get clogged up. I'm probably confusing you further but, relax the doctor is half timelord so a half timelord half human hybrid could be born safely.
