How about this quote from wikipedia on the subject:
Wikipedia wrote: The Doctor has also appeared in two cinema films: Dr. Who and the Daleks in 1965 and Daleks - Invasion Earth 2150 AD in 1966. Both were essentially retellings of existing stories on the big screen, with a larger budget and numerous alterations to the series concept. In these films, Peter Cushing played a human scientist named Dr. Who, who travelled with his two granddaughters and other companions in a time machine he invented. Due to this and numerous other changes (not to mention the storylines that duplicated televised episodes), the movies are not regarded as part of the ongoing continuity of the series.
Simple fact is that in the film with Peter Crushing he is not playing an alien Time Lord styled as "The Doctor", he is playing a human.

That brief mention is hardly a ringing endorsement of Peter Cushing's Doctor as canon.

I'd trust the BBC site far more than Wikipedia, especially as the BBC is also the home of the Doctor.

A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.
I guess we are going to have to agree to disagree on this one.

So, where do you stand on Jordan's original question?

I already gave my answer here[^]

They have all played the lead role in either the TV series of Dr Who or one of the films.
Just to be pedantic, the character doesn't actually have a name
Cheers chums

Well guys to be technical - 'The Doctor', or 'Doctor'. (Not Dr Who. Dr Who is the name of the series. The character is called The Doctor).
But nice work!!!!

To be even more pedantic, you asked for the character's name, which has never been known. He's only ever been known by his title which is, as you say, "The Doctor". A title is not a name!

A famous leader's first name of Mohandas is commonly replaced by a first name that means 'great soul'; who was he?

According to a study by dal Sasso et al. (2006), <a href = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinosaurus" rel="nofollow">[Spinosaurus]</a>[<a href = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinosaurus" target = "_blank" rel="nofollow">^</a>] was the largest of all "carnivorous dinosaurs by a significant margin".

Not counting the Sperm Whale? Or just among terrestrial carnivores?
|
|
|
|
|
After some googling, I ever wonder if we could not consider the blue whale[^] as the biggest carnivore ever. The blue whale eats krills[^], which are zooplankton, then animals. Most of the definitions of "carnivore"[^] could then be applied to the blue whale.
