Of course, even in the credits, the Doctor is referred to as The Doctor.
When exacty did that change take place? I'm pretty sure that it was after 
Pertwee.

No, in all other stories the Doctor is called the Doctor. This is the only
time he is called Doctor Who. The BBC received complaints from fans about
him being called Doctor Who. As to why, I don't know, the writer probably
sipped up.

Side note: In the movie "Doctor Who and the Daleks", the doctor is called
           Doctor Who.
