Trivia: Throughout the whole of Doctor Who, the original series and the new series, the Doctor only refers to himself as 'Doctor Who' once - and this was a mistake by William Hartnell, who was getting frail. The end credits originally listed the actor playing the Doctor as 'Doctor Who', but this later changed to mainly using 'The Doctor'.

Trivia: Throughout Doctor Who, and in many of the books about the show, there is a discontinuity about what TARDIS stands for. Some people say it is Time and Relative Dimensions in Space, whereas Susan Forman, in the first episode, "An Unearthly Child", says it stands for Time and Relative Dimension In Space (no s at the end of Dimension).

Remembrance of the Daleks - S25-E1
Trivia: This story is set weeks after the time frame in which the very first Doctor Who episode, "An Unearthly Child", took place. There is a scene in a house, with a TV in the corner, where the continuity announcer begins to announce the start of a new Saturday early evening science fiction story - it is the announcement which launched Doctor Who - which cuts out just before the title is mentioned.
