In answer to a question about when the credit heading changed from "Doctor Who" to "The Doctor" a reply by a John Ruschmeyer mentioned that at the end of the LOGOPOLIS episode, the credits listed "The Doctor-Tom Baker" and "Doctor Who-Peter Davison." As I remember it, the credits said "The Doctor- Tom Baker" and then Tom's name disappeared and was replaced by Peter Davison's under the same heading. Also, in Jeff Mattson's artice on CASTROVALVA he refers to a "null room," as I remember it was called the "Zero Room," and yes, it was the chamber that was by chance ejected. Only the doors remained, which Tegan and Nyssa used to construct the "Zero Cabinet" in which they tried to transport the Doctor to the city of Castrovalva. Interestingly enough, the episode was supposedly named for an M. C. Escher painting of the same name (supposedly one of a city with the noted Escher twistings of perspective, making it look like it is folding in on itself). I checked out a book of Escher's work, and oddly enough, his painting Castrovalva is of a city on a steeply cliffed hilltop, but the painting is rather ordinary with no perspective-mangling artistic gymnastics, such as can be found in his later works.

Having specifically looked at tapes of the credits for Logopolis, both Tom
and Peter were listed as "Doctor Who", as were all doctors up to this time.
Peter has the distinction of being the only actor credited both ways over
time (probable exception to this in 5 and 2 doctors stories).
William Harnell will forever have been listed only as Dr. Who since he died
before the change in credit listing.
