The switch in the credits took place after "Logopolis."

I believe that the script editor just slipped here, and forgot to
take out the "Who" in "Doctor Who."  It was, however, unintentional,
and the mistake was never repeated (aside from puns such as "Who are
you" / "The Doctor" / "Who?" / "Yes, that's right...").
