12	--> Played by: Creator/PeterCushing
13
14	* AbsentMindedProfessor: He is the Doctor, after all. Albeit an alternate version.
15	* ActorAllusion: The ''Doctor Who 3 - The Third Motion Picture'' short story has Susan threaten a yeti with a hammer and WoodenStake from on of her grandfather's last acting jobs. A reference to Cushing playing Van Helsing in various ''[[Film/HammerHorror Hammer Horror Dracula]]'' films.
16	* AdaptationNameChange: The TV version isn't actually named Doctor Who. [[AmbiguousSituation Maybe]].
17	* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Despite being based off the [[Characters/DoctorWhoFirstDoctor First Doctor]], he has much more in common with the [[Characters/DoctorWhoSecondDoctor Second Doctor]] personality-wise. He's certainly not the sinister, untrustworthy and occasionally arrogant Doctor Creator/WilliamHartnell played in Season 1.
18	* AdaptationSpeciesChange: This Doctor is definitely human. Which isn't as strange as you might think, because in 1965 the Doctor hadn't definitively been established as an alien in the TV show, and even some of the writers (including Creator/TerryNation) were still working from the earlier concept that he was a human from the far distant future.
19	** [[https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Doctor_Who%3F_(DWM_106_comic_story)?file=Doctor_Who_DWM_106.jpg Issue 42]] of the ''Doctor Who?'' parody comic in ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' implies he is a Time Lord after all.
20	* AmnesiacHero: Attempts to make Dr Who the same character as the Doctor from the TV series will usually say that one lost their memory and became the other.
21	** ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoNewAdventuresHumanNature Human Nature]]'' has John Smith going through the Seventh Doctor's repressed memories, finding one where he was a human inventor who built the first [=TARDIS=], then educated a race of primitive HumanAliens who became Gallifreyans, as [[MultipleChoicePast one of a few implied origins]] for the Other who helped found Time Lord society and is implied to reincarnate into the Doctor in ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoNewAdventuresLungbarrow Lungbarrow]]''.
22	** Creator/StevenMoffat proposed in issue #490 of ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' that Dr. Who recklessly altering Time to change the outcome of the bank robbery at the end of ''Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.'' caused him to accidentally restart the universe, rewriting himself into a Time Lord and losing his family name.
23	* CoolOldGuy: It's Peter Cushing playing Doctor Who. How could he not end up as this?
24	* DitzyGenius: At the very beginning he comes off as this, as he's first seen reading a comic book (while his granddaughters are reading heady tomes on science), misplaces critical components to ''[=TARDIS=]'' where they can be sat upon, and later concocts a blatant lie about the ship being damaged to prompt a curiosity-satisfying expedition to the Dalek city -- and actually takes the ''perfectly functioning component in question'' with him to be stolen by the Daleks... not to mention the component apparently contains or at least is a conduit for mercury, and he handles it in his pocket and with his bare hands. Yes, this Doctor thinks on a different wavelength, and he doesn't have the excuse of being a Gallifreyan Time Lord to fall back on.
25	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: While his granddaughters are reading books on science, the camera pans to him reading ''ComicStrip/DanDare''.
26	* HiddenDepths: Doctor Who's genial and GeniusDitz tendencies do camouflage a strength of character and a desire to see right triumph. As the movie progresses, we see him take a more active part in the planning of thwarting the Daleks' plans, and even gives the Thals one hell of a DareToBeBadass speech to break them out of their absolute pacifism and give them the resolve to fight for their lives.
27	* ScatterbrainedSenior: By ''Doctor Who 3 - The Third Motion Picture'' he's gone senile to the point he wanders the streets in a daze and doesn't recognize his granddaughters.
28	* SharpDressedMan: This Doctor Who's sense of style seems to anticipate somewhat that of the Fourth and Eleventh Doctors, with the professorial corduroy jacket, natty waistcoat and blue cravat. In the second film, he even wears a fairly long scarf!

31	[[folder: Susan Who]]
32	!!Susan Who
33	--> Played by: Roberta Tovey
34	* AdaptationNameChange: No mention of Foreman here. And since the Doctor was actually given a surname...
35	* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: [[https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Doctor_Who%3F_(DWM_106_comic_story)?file=Doctor_Who_DWM_106.jpg Issue 42]] of the ''Doctor Who?'' parody comic in ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' implies she's Doctor Who's great grandmother regenerated into a child.
36	* AffectionateNickname: The Doctor regularly affectionately calls her Susie.
37	* AgeLift: Younger than the TV version.
38	* ChildProdigy: Her very first appearance has her reading a theoretical physics textbook.
39	* FourthWallObserver: The ''Doctor Who 3 - The Third Motion Picture'' short story starts with her working out how much money she's owed for starring in the previous two movies.
40	* MerlinSickness: The ''Doctor Who?'' parody comic mentioned above says she's actually Doctor Who's great grandmother who got younger with each regeneration.
41	* PluckyGirl: Much more likely to get stuck in to the adventure. Also seems to be more emotionally resilient with what's thrown at her in the movie as compared to her TV counterpart (who, remember, is a good 6 to 10 or so [or [[BizarreAlienBiology possibly much, much more...]]] years her senior). In the original serial, Susan's encounter with the Thal leaves her nearly useless for a few scenes as she goes through a HeroicBSOD moment. The movie Susan? She seems more annoyed that a) nobody will believe that someone touched her shoulder and b) that Ian crushed her flower.
42	* RageAgainstTheAuthor: ''Doctor Who 3 - The Third Motion Picture'' ends with Susan turning her hammer and stake towards the scriptwriter with large blots of blood staining the rest of the page are the only evidence of what happened next.
43	* RaisedByGrandparents: There's no sign of her parents.
44	* WoodenStake: In ''Doctor Who 3 - The Third Motion Picture'' she chases off a yeti and then kills the author with a hammer and stake from one of her grandfather's acting jobs.

46
47	[[folder: Barbara Who]]
48	!!Barbara Who
49	--> Played by: Jennie Linden
50	* AdaptationNameChange: The result of being rewritten as a second granddaughter of the Doctor.
51	* AdaptationalWimp: Much more of a NeutralFemale than the series' smart, tough Barbara who once rammed a Dalek with a truck.
52	* AgeLift: A teenager, like TV Susan, instead of a 20something teacher.
53	* OfficialCouple: With Ian.
54	* RaisedByGrandparents: Like Susan, there's no mention of her parents.
55	* RelatedInTheAdaptation: In the show, Barbara was Susan's unrelated teacher, here's she's Doctor Who's granddaughter and Susan's sister or cousin.
56	* TeenGenius: Like Susan, her first appearance onscreen features her reading a physics textbook.
57	[[/folder]]
58
59	[[folder: Ian Chesterton]]
60	!!Ian Chesterton
61	--> Played by: Creator/RoyCastle
62	* AdaptationalWimp: This Ian is TheLoad instead of the smart, determined teacher of the series.
63	* AgeLift: Younger than the TV version, just like Susan and Barbara.
64	* [[CuteClumsyGirl Cute Clumsy Boy]]: His EstablishingCharacterMoment involves him falling in the door. His clumsiness remains a recurring element.
65	* OfficialCouple: With Barbara.

69	!Dalek Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.
70
71	[[folder: Louise]]
72	!!Louise
73	--> Played by: Jill Curzon
74	* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: For Barbara, as Jennie Linden didn't reprise her role.
75	[[/folder]]
76
77	[[folder: Tom Campbell]]
78	!!Tom Campbell
79	--> Played by: Creator/BernardCribbins
80	* EarnYourHappyEnding: At the start of the movie, he failed to catch some crooks that stole at a jewellery shop. After helping out with the Whos on the future Dalek invasion, Campbell asked them to send him a few mins before he met them so he can catch the thieves
81	* {{Expy}}: Despite sharing a surname with David Campbell, he is one for movie-Ian, being more of a comic-relief klutz.
82	* UnfazedEveryman: After he gets over his initial confusion he treats every strange thing with a resigned determination.
83
84	[[/folder]]
85
86	[[folder: Wyler]]
87	!!Wyler
88	--> Played by: Andrew Keir
