According to this page it does

http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/characters/tardis.shtml




edited to add:  I found that page in response to hawk's comments.  I posted the answers from memory

That website is incorrect.

You should instead refer to the first episode, "An Unearthly Child".
That has the correct answer.

I promise, honest Injun.
:D

Further investigation reveals it not to be an acronym.  Therefore it's an unfair question

Actually, it is an acronym...

If others feel this question is too disputed, I will go ahead & post the proper answer.

#25 is Jon Pertwee

This is a bit of a guess as I'm not a massive fan of Doctor Who but for some reason I have "planet Gallifrey" in my mind for #1, the Doctor's home planet.

2. Name the actors who have played the Doctor, in sequence.

William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, Christopher Eccelstone, David Tennant

Peter Cushing also played Doctor Who in two feature films in the 60s.

#25 is Jon Pertwee


Yes, he drove the Blue Peter, but what did he call it?

This is true. However, he was never really considered a true incarnation of the Doctor, as purists feel the 2 films of the '60s were based off of the show, rather than as a part of it.
However, you DO get a special Karma Honorable Mention for that....

Yes, he drove the Blue Peter, but what did he call it? I will ask my mate at work.

edited to add:

Found this website detailing where in the US you might be able to get Bassett's Jelly Babies (the only sort to try)

That's true!

However, that's not exactly what the question is.
It asks, "Have any American actors/actresses played in Doctor Who"?

I'm sure there are a few... ;)
