I Thought So

In my head, the Doctor doesn't have a bloody clue what age he is (how could he, unless he's keeping count on a big chart somewhere) and only picks on 900 cos it sounds good.

Steven Moffat, from here.


Not exactly the Word of God, but close enough for rock 'n' roll. Certainly explains how Nine claims he's younger than Seven said he was - he's just completely lost track. I rather suspect the Doctor's hit his Big Millennium and is too vain to admit it, now. ;-)

Isn't his interlocutor there Captain Archer? Like he has any room to talk about continuity!

Whenever you notice something like that, a wizard did it.

You'll never win a No-Prize with that kind of attitude! ;-)
