Chalk

Chalk was a drawing and writing tool, normally used on blackboards.

History

The Doctor often carried a piece of chalk, from his first incarnation (TV: "A Desperate Venture") to the twelfth. (TV: Listen)

The scientist Rubeish used chalk to write equations over the Third Doctor's TARDIS. The Doctor scolded him for using his ship as a writing surface. (TV: The Time Warrior)

At Ashley House, Liz Shaw used chalk to explain to Patricia Haggard and Louise Bayliss the situation regarding the closure of a number of English psychiatric care facilities, with the notable exception of Hawthorne. After Patsy left, Liz used the chalk to draw on her photograph of the Brigadier. (HOMEVID: The Zero Imperative)

In Castrovalva, the Fifth Doctor used it to draw a map of the town on the back of a full-length mirror. (TV: Castrovalva) When he visited Sair, he found chalk drawings on the floor of his room, and traced them with a piece of chalk to reveal their shape. (PROSE: Fascination)

While talking alone in the TARDIS about the possibility of never truly being alone, the Twelfth Doctor wrote various points on his chalkboard. After placing the chalk on a book, he returned seconds later to find it missing and that someone or something had used it to write the word "LISTEN" in what looked like the Doctor's handwriting onto another board.
