TV doctor gets a call to stop (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

whoa

'call to stop' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'tv doctor gets a' is the wordplay.
'tv doctor' becomes 'who' (Doctor Who).
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'who'+'a'='WHOA'

(Other definitions for whoa that I've seen before include "Order (horse) to stop" , "Said to stop a horse" , "Hold your horses!" , "horsy expression?" , "Stop, Dobbin!" .)
