So -- what kind of doctor are you?*
Shurely some kind of comma is still customary between the parts of the compound predicate? (First flagged by JKaufman at TCEs.)
On a related note: The little plot summaries at Netflix frequently make him "Who" on second reference. That seems to be carrying AP style a little too far.
* Worth the wait here.

I'm almost ashamed to tell who how long I stared at that trying to figure out what you were even talking about, compound predicate...
Of course, having been tripped up badly by the headline "Dr Who Lost Cho's Records Had Been Fired" maybe I've been inoculated?
Dr. Who is a physician? I thought he just traveled around in time fighting Daleks.
Actually, it has been established that he is a medical doctor, among other things.
Stuff you learn from the Wikipedias: Ridley Scott was originally assigned to direct the first Daleks episode(s) but got switched out in a scheduling conflict.

Shurely?
