Nice use of blots :)#5: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Oct 16, 2012
Quick grammar lesson (you knew it was coming): "Who's" is a contraction of "who is" or "who has." "Whose" is the possessive, "belonging to Who." <--I really really want to write "whom" here. :)
Super job Brian.:)#6: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Oct 16, 2012
Well, Kristen, see, this here hat has never been worn by any Doctor, therefore it doesn't belong to Who... :D#7: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Oct 16, 2012
Good one Joe.:) Nice job Brian. The answer kept eluding me, then the ton of bricks hit me as soon as I saw the answer.#8: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Oct 16, 2012
Although, his companion Amy Pond wore such a hat. :)#9: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Oct 16, 2012
Thank you Kristen. Now I'm going back to see how many times I've made this error. I would have been OK with belonging to whom.#10: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Oct 16, 2012
Does the good doctor wear a hat? (I almost said where a hat)#11: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Oct 16, 2012
Does the weary doctor wear a hat where he goes?#12: Tom King (sgusa) on Oct 16, 2012
I like Grian ;) Fun puzzle!#13: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Oct 17, 2012 [SPOILER]
The *best* Doctor does. (BTW that's defined as the Doctor you watched when you were 12, which in my case was Tom Baker.)#14: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Oct 17, 2012
Kristen - I'm stuck in Barbaria, USA and don't get BBC America, so I've never heard of her. :(
Oh! Well then...#15: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Oct 17, 2012 [SPOILER]
The eleventh doctor (Tom Baker was 4th) met Amelia Pond as a child. When he sees her as an adult for the first time, she's wearing this costume:

Is that an actual police uniform, or a wishful one (Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, knowwhatimean)?#16: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Oct 17, 2012
That's why I called it a costume, and not a uniform. :)#17: Jota (jota) on Oct 22, 2012
Great Brain! I guessed correctly!#18: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on Oct 23, 2012
Horton herd a Who...although, come to think about it, shouldn't that be "Horton herded a Who"? ...except it's plural, so maybe it should be Horton herded Whose...not Who's (verrrry proud of myself for getting that right!)#19: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Jul 24, 2017
,
Kristen - it goes "he who, him whom". He and who are subjective (subject of the sentence, "he left...", "who left?"), while him and whom are objective (object of the sentence, "I saw him...", "You saw whom?"). He who, him whom. Say it 10 times in a row and you'll never forget it!#20: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jul 25, 2017
I knew that. :) The M's go together.#21: Velma Warren (Shiro) on Dec 29, 2018 [HINT]

Is a female bobby a Bobbi?
And I do recall Amy Pond in this outfit. She was working for "Kissy-Grams"
