Lying

A lie or lying was the action of telling something that was not the truth.

While in London, the Ninth Doctor lied to Rose Tyler that he was leaving her flat to get some privacy and was not going to wander off only to then investigate the Slitheen crash. (TV: Aliens of London) He also lied to Jack Harkness that his sonic screwdriver could not open a door in order to trick Jack into revealing he possessed a Sonic blaster. (TV: The Doctor Dances) One Dalek accused the Doctor of lying when he declared he personally killed the Dalek race during the Last Great Time War. (TV: Dalek) The Doctor himself accussed the editor on Satellite Five of lying to the people within the Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire. (TV: The Long Game)

The Tenth Doctor occasionally lied. (TV: School Reunion, The Fires of Pompeii) He believed he did it to make himself feel better. (TV: Gridlock) Although, he occasionally lied for strategic purposes, such as tricking the Family of Blood that he was still in human in order to tamper with their ship's equipment. (TV: The Family of Blood) He could also deduce when others were lying, such as Novice Hame's lie that the Sisters of Plenitude were not harming patients on New Earth (TV: New Earth) and that Sarah Jane Smith was actually researching Krillitane activity rather than writing a journal article about the local high school's improving exam results as she claimed. The Doctor himself likewise initially lied to her that he was a human Physics teacher at the school called John Smith. (TV: School Reunion) He also claimed "John Smith" was his real name to a group of tourists when it actually wasn't, a lie the group saw through. (TV: Midnight)

(TV: The Doctor's Wife, Asylum of the Daleks) This led River Song to declare "Rule One: The Doctor lies."
