That wasn't VANADALISM, 2nd Doctor should have his own page not a redirect to Patrick Troughton and that has been done for the Seventh, Sixth, Fourth and Ninth Doctors so why not this one too?--84.12.150.235 13:18, 10 July 2005 (UTC)Reply

We're currently working on the other Doctor articles (see User:Bjwebb/Doctor Articles) --Jawr256 13:24, July 10, 2005 (UTC)

"Both Peter Davison and Colin Baker, who played the Fifth Doctor and Sixth Doctor respectively, have stated that the Second Doctor is their favourite."

Worth mentioning, perhaps, but not under Story Style? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.17.57.24 (talk) 21:50, 20 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Tenure start date

Latest comment: 6 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The infobox lists the Second Doctor's tenure as starting on 29 October 1966, the date he appeared in the final episode of The Tenth Planet. For internal consistency within the infobox, and to match the table at The Doctor (Doctor Who) § Actors, I think the date should be 5 November 1966, when the first episode of The Power of the Daleks aired.--Trystan (talk) 18:24, 30 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
