What are the characters on 11th doctor on Doctor Who?
The Doctor is played by Matt Smith. His companion "Amy Pond" is portrayed by Karen Gillan. Also, Arthur Darvill plays Rory, now her husband after getting married, and he 'hopes' to become a regular, because in series 5 he wasn't in all the episodes.
Other characters include River Song, daleks, cybermen, silents, sontarons, judoon, silurians and weeping angels.
Why is Doctor Who always called the doctor?
"The Doctor" is a name the character uses throughout the series since its beginning in 1963. However, in the opening series Named the "An Unearthly Child" he was referred to also as "Grandfather" by his granddaughter Susan. The character's true identity has never been revealed, though there have been hints as to his backstory all the way through, most prominently in the Seventh Doctor's era, 1987 - 1989.
During a conversation between the Doctor and the Master in the 2007 episode The Sound Of Drums, both characters state that the other "chose" their names (ie Doctor and Master. "Doctor" being "one who makes people better", while "Master" would be "one who subjugates"). While this has been alluded to many times in the series history, I believe this is the first time it is stated categorically, for the Doctor at least. Neither character's name has been revealed in the series thus far. In the 1988 serial The Happiness Patrol, the Doctor tells one character he was given the nick-name Theta Sigma at the Academy. I have seen several answer sites such as this where people have stated that Theta Sigma is the Doctor's real name. This is not correct.
In the previous serial, 1988's Rememberance of the Daleks, the Doctor leaves a calling card, which features a prominent design resembling a cross between a capital letter D and a Question mark. The card also features other text, consisting of various Greek, Cryllic and other nonsense symbols.
In the novelisation of Spearhead From Space (Doctor Who and the Auton Invasion) when the Brigadier asks the Doctors name, the Doctor wrestles with himself whether to tell the Brigadier or not, thinking 'He'd never be able to pronounce it anyway' an plumps for the oft before and oft since used alias 'Doctor John Smith".
During the 2011 episode Let's Kill Hitler, during a discussion on the nature of "The Silence" previously thought to be a species), it is revealed that they are actualy a religious order who believe that "Silence will fall when the question is asked..." "...The first question. the oldest question in the universe. Hidden in plain sight". What the question actually is, was at the time, unknown.
In the finale of the same series, The Wedding Of River Song, Dorium expands on this, stating firstly that "Silence mustfall" is a 'better translation. He refers to a specific prophecy, "On the fields of Trenzalore, at the fall of the eleventh, when no living creature can speak falsely or fail to answer, a question will be asked, a question that must never, ever be answered". At the end of the episode, Dorium goes on to say that the Doctor had already worked out what the question is, and that he'd been running away from it all his life. "Doctor Who?" This is clearly building up to the series 50th anniversary in 2013.

In Doctor Who what does it mean silence will fall?

Which world is real in the Doctor Who episode Amy's Choice?
In the episode "Amy's Choice," we are faced with two possible realities. In the first, Amy and Rory are happily married, but pursued by old people who are possessed by aliens. And in the second, the team is in the Tardis and in danger of being frozen to death by the Dream Lord.
It turns out that neither of these is actually real, but are both dreams, and the Dream Lord is a manifestation of The Doctor's dark side.
Well hard to say even though on many occasions she has attempted to flirt with the doctor maybe even seduce him and failed either way because he didnt want to interfere with her relationship with rory. In addition to this it is fairly obviouse that she does care about him a great deal and enjoys his company but he pretends not to notice and treats her just as a good friend/companion. In my opinion they do both have strong emotions for each other but deny it because of other engagements: amy being married and the doctors constant mystery as to who river song is. BUt thats another question...

Who was the youngest Dr. Who companion?
Adric, played by actor Matthew Waterhouse, is considered one of the youngest companions in "Doctor Who" history. He first appeared in the classic series during the Fourth and Fifth Doctor's eras.
They used it a few times. The phrase is based on limited information - the Doctor believed they were extinct, but a few had escaped destruction by accident or by design.
In "Dalek", one lone soldier dalek had fallen through time and had been acquired by a curio collector. Initially battered and powerless, it escaped and repaired itself, but committed suicide.
In "Bad Wolf", the Doctor learned that the Dalek Emperor himself had survived the time war, his ship falling through time. He was able to re-establish the race using cells cultivated from humans, but all of them were turned to dust by Rose, as Bad Wolf.
In "The Army of Ghosts", four special daleks, the Cult of Skaro, were revealed to have been hiding in a Void Ship, unaffected by the passage of time. They had brought with them a 'Genesis Ark' which was actually a prison ship for captured daleks, which they managed to release. However all of these were sucked into the void, though the Cult of Skaro managed to escape.
In "Daleks in Manhattan", the Cult of Skaro resurface. Three are killed in the events of the following episode "Evolution of the Daleks", the last, Jast, escapes yet again.
In "The Stolen Earth", a Dalek force including their original creator Davros, is stealing planets in order to create a specific configuration of their gravitational fields, as part of the plans for a 'reality bomb' to destroy the universe, themselves excluded. These Daleks are here because of Jast, melted and maddened, he fell into the Time War and brought them out to a different time. In the following episode, "Journey's End", they are wiped out by an alternate form of the 10th Doctor, though Davros' ultimate fate is uncertain.
Lastly, in "Victory of the Daleks", survivors from "Journey's End" try to activate a Progenitor device to create more Daleks. Since they themselves were grown from Davros' cells, the device does not recognise them as true Daleks, thus they require the Doctor's 'testimony' to activate it. The device creates new Daleks, the New Paradigm, who destroy the old Daleks, they die willingly. These New Paradigm daleks escape as the Doctor's attention is forced elsewhere.
After this, the Daleks have re-established themselves as a race, and as the Doctor notes, have seemingly abandoned their usual policies of single-minded destruction and racial purity into something almost approaching tolerance, solely out of fear of him.
Will The Master return in Doctor Who 2011?
Answer
No he isn't returning.
Answer
It's possible that The Master may return in future episodes.
If you remember the last episode with The Master, he was cremated. However his ring survived.
If you look closely at the ring, it has the same patterned markings as the Timelord stopwatch in which they hide their identities in dire circumstances. The ring was picked up by a passer-by and a loud, evil laugh was heard as the ring was touched.
So, it is possible The Master may return.
The BBC are not just going to kill off the Doctor's most famous and popular enemies (The Master, Daleks, Cybermen, etc).
