The only thing that the Doctor cannot be is American.

Why?

I would argue the Doctor's most defining feature is their Britishness.

feel like we're. through the looking glass when in the headline Chibnall is referred to by name but JMS is demoted to needing an explanation of who he is.

I'd expect that a British media twitter account would think that their intended audience would be more familiar with current British Sci-fi productions than a 25 year old American one.

Earth shock is the best Doctor who series of all time because they kill Adrick.

It's also a Cybermen series.

Eccleston's memory is a bit off; as I recall, the BBC's release was actually a bit worse, saying that he was leaving the series over fear of being typecast, and they ultimately had to retract the entire piece about a week later.

Ah yes the very famous Dr. Who episode, "GasLight".

I spent two seasons of the 2000s Battlestar Glalactica thinking Baltar was named Balthazar. What the gently caress kind of name is Baltar?

A surname.

I wasn't around for the Davison era, but not sure how much notice "All Creatures..." had on the American side.

From an American perspective, I'd think that Eccleston would actually be the biggest name, mainly due to small roles in biggish hits, a la 28 Days Later and the Nicolas Cage Gone in 60 Seconds. Those would lend him a bit of an "oh yea, that guy" sort of familiarity.

I'd imagine that Capaldi would be recognizable due to "The Thick Of It," but I don't remember that having a ton of mainstream appeal here in America. It always seemed like more of a niche show here, even after "Veep" and In the Loop had come out. Maybe he might have had a bit more recognition from World War Z or Paddington, since they came out shortly before his tenure started, but again, small roles, so not sure how many American fans would have recognized him from those.

All creatures great and small definitely saw circulation on the PBS scene in the US.
