Dr. Who vs. Doctor Who: What's the Difference?

Dr. Who is a person (and movie series with only two movies, thank goodness). He’s from the two movies: “Dr. Who and the Daleks” and “Daleks – Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D.” The plot lines of these movies are based on “The Daleks” and “The Dalek Invasion of Earth” during the First Doctor. It’s a direct remake of these episodes because the company wanted to make them in color. Unfortunately, they didn’t get the original cast.

Dr. Who (he seriously introduces himself as Dr. Who) is “the Doctor” (I know I put quotes around this, I don’t consider Dr. Who to be the Doctor in any way shape or form), he’s roughly based off of the First Doctor (I personally think Peter Cushing completely murdered the character). He has two grandchildren: Susan {AKA Suzie, she’s a little girl (which isn’t right with the original series, she’s supposed to be a teenager, but it worked. I liked this Susan better than the original)} and Barbara (NOT TRUE, SHE WAS SUSAN’S TEACHER). Ian Chesterton is Barbara’s boyfriend (ALSO NOT TRUE; because they don’t even reveal their romantic relationship till they’re married in The Sarah Jane Adventures; then there’s the fact that he was also Susan’s teacher).  The best part of these two movies was Ian, and he was only in it for the first one. He was such an adorable klutz.  {Note: Pretty much all the characters aren’t right in these movies, but I just loved Ian. ❤️ }

Dr. Who is in no way the Doctor. I think he’s human even, he’s not even an alien. He built the TARDIS, instead of stealing from Gallifrey. He has TWO granddaughters instead of just one. So, yeah.

(Sorry if I have offended you in any way because of my dislike of these two movies.)

On the other hand…

Doctor Who is a question (and a TV Show). We don’t really know the Doctor’s name, and that is why whenever you watch an episode it always asks you, “Doctor Who?” (only the question mark is missing, obviously). All we really know is that he goes by the Doctor.

The Doctor is referred to as Doctor Who a few times in the old Doctor Who (mostly during One and Two, and some episode titles of some other Doctors), but other than that; he’s mostly referred to as Doctor, as it is today. I think the Doctor was called Doctor Who so much that he just accepted it for a while, but he probably got bored with that and is now wanting to be…

“The Doctor. Just the Doctor.”

(Note: This is just a guess from my knowledge of the Doctor. I don’t know for certain.)

So remember. It’s the Doctor; not Dr. Who. Doctor Who; not Dr. Who. (And also, don’t call him Doc. He doesn’t like being called Doc.)

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE! IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE!

Hahaha kidding.

Unless your Whovian is vicious, which is a bit unlikely.
