[edit] Canonicity

This Doctor is not generally not considered to be canon, although attempts have been made in spin-off media to fit the films in with Doctor Who continuity.

Which spin-off is this? Sounds intriguing, or at least, amusing. -Logotu 17:13, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

The Virgin New Adventure Head Games by Steve Lyons. It's explained that the new Master of the Land of Fiction has been preparing for the Doctor by training against fictional counterparts of his. Oh, and it's quite good- Although it's probably best to skip it if you're a fan Melanie Bush...--Sean Black | Talk 19:41, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

'Attempts have been made in spin-off media to fit the films in with Doctor Who continuity.'

Why not list these attempts? I remember the Cushing Doctor being portrayed in a Short Trips: A Day in the Life short-storey. DrWho42 18:21, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dalek Film Doctor?

You know, I've never really read or heard him being referred to as the "Dalek Film Doctor" all that much. Most people just call him the Cushing Doctor. Maybe this should be moved. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 02:18, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, "Cushing Doctor" is more common. Plus, "Dalek Film Doctor" is against the MoS recommendation on capitalization (which would prefer "Dalek film Doctor"). Unless anyone objects, I'll move this some time in the next few days. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 18:46, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Really, this article should be titled "Doctor Who (films)" or something like that.Rhindle The Red 13:40, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
