For further context, Doctor Who is a member of the species.

  I think if we're being pedantic, the character's name is "The Doctor". The TV show is named "Doctor Who" but the character doesn't call themself that and a name is what something is called. [Edited to avoid assigning a gender to a character who has had different genders]

    I wasn’t being pedantic, I was (as per my words), providing further context. Anyone who has watched the show knows these things, they are basic information from it. My post and the one I replied to are (obviously) for people who know close to nothing about it, and those people won’t know who “The Doctor” is, the point was to make it clear it’s the main character. Also, not only is “The Doctor” not the character’s real name, they have been called “Doctor Who” multiple times, including in credits, so you pedantry isn’t even right. https://screenrant.com/doctor-who-name-debate-settle-explainer/ https://screenrant.com/doctor-who-name-debate-settle-explain...

  And, I think, the last of them remaining.

    The Master always comes back, of course. They're such perfect frenemies. (Depends on the era of course, sometimes there are other timelords, sometimes not.)
