Sentimental and compassionate, but with a cynical and self-reflective edge, the '''Fourteenth Doctor''' embraced the second chance he had in regenerating back into the body of his [[Tenth Doctor|tenth incarnation]], as he sought to respond to all the calls of adventure. He raced from one adventure to the next as he fought against the idea that he was "running on fumes" and emotionally exhausted, going a full fifteen hours without stopping to rest, too distracted by the mystery as to why he had regenerated back into a familiar body. | |||
After a battle against [[psychoplasm]] [[Dalek-scape|Dalek constructs]] in the [[Dalek Dome]] and stop on [[Skaro]] during the [[genesis of the Daleks]], the Doctor found himself reunited with his old [[companion]] [[Donna Noble]] on the same night [[the Meep]] tried to initiate the [[destruction of London]], with only the release of the [[DoctorDonna]] managing to save the day, but Donna was saved from having her mind overload when it was revealed that her daughter, [[Rose Noble|Rose]], had inherited the [[Human-Time Lord Meta-Crisis]] and she and Donna were able to [[Letting go|release]] the Meta-Crisis. When a visit to Wilf got sidetracked by a conflict with the [[not-thing]]s at the [[edge of the universe]], the Doctor was forced to confront his emotional exhaustion, but chose to continue ignoring his pain, especially regarding [[the Flux]]. | |||
However, the return of [[the Toymaker]] brought his traumas to the forefront, and he ended up shooting the Doctor with a [[Galvanic beam]] that triggered a [[bi-generation]] that created the [[Fifteenth Doctor]], who teamed up with his fourteenth incarnation to banish the Toymaker. Spurred on by Donna and his fifteenth incarnation, the Doctor decided to settle down on Earth with the [[Noble family]] to do "rehab out of order" and allow himself to heal to ensure his next incarnation would have his carefree attitude. | |||

{{Main|Thirteenth Doctor's forced regeneration}} | |||
The Thirteenth Doctor was made to undergo a [[forced regeneration]] into her fourteenth incarnation in a chamber by the [[Spy Master]], who used the energies of [[Qurunx (The Power of the Doctor)|a Qurunx]] as a power source for a [[cyber-conversion planet]] that allowed him to obtain the energy needed to hijack the Doctor's regeneration and insert himself as her fourteenth incarnation. However, due to a fail-safe the Doctor had enacted before her regeneration, the [[Holo-Doctor]] was able to work in conjunction with [[Yaz Khan]], [[Tegan Jovanka]] and [[Ace]] to undue [[the Master's Dalek Plan]], with [[Inston-Vee Vinder]] helping Yaz to force the Master back into the chamber so that they could use the [[CyberMaster]]s' [[regeneration energy]] to get the Master to [[Retro-regeneration|degenerate]] back into the Thirteenth Doctor, returning him to his original body.

Fleeing back to the TARDIS, the Doctor was handed the [[World Cup]]'s [[Jules Rimet Trophy]] by [[Georgy Gold]], who had mistaken him for the [[police]]. Not having enough time for explanations, the Doctor bundled Georgy into the safety of the TARDIS, only for a Dalek saucer to seize it before he could follow her in, leaving him surrounded by the Daleks as the Supreme Dalek ordered them to exterminate him, only for their blasts to have no effect, surprising both them and the Doctor. With both wanting answers, the Doctor let himself be taken aboard the Dalek saucer, where he bargained for the invasion to be stopped in return for providing an explanation to the Supreme Dalek after scanning himself with the sonic screwdriver, which the Supreme Dalek agreed to. After scanning the Daleks, the Doctor realised that they were [[simulacra]] of real Daleks and and that he was in a simulation, though the Supreme Dalek refused to believe him and destroyed the Earth to prove they were real. However, [[Claire (Liberation of the Daleks)|Claire]] and [[Claudine (Liberation of the Daleks)|Claudine]] then materialised on the bridge, captured the Doctor and teleported him away, as the Daleks watched in confusion, to the [[Dalek Dome]], where the Doctor met [[Georgette Gold]] and learnt he had been in an attraction at a [[theme park]] based on Dalek history. | ||

When the TARDIS landed [[Camden Market]] ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Star Beast (TV story)}}) during [[November]] [[2023]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Star Beast (novelisation)}}) the Doctor found himself running into [[Donna Noble]] while she was out shopping with her daughter, [[Rose Noble|Rose]], just as [[Beep the Meep's neutron drive star cruiser|a spaceship]] landed at the [[Millson Wagner Steelworks]], with the Doctor going to investigate after being getting a ride from Donna's husband, [[Shaun Temple]], in his [[taxi]], and using the trip to get an update on Donna's life since he last saw her. Arriving at the steelworks shortly after [[UNIT United Kingdom|UNIT]] established a perimeter, the Doctor snuck in to scan the spaceship with [[Fourteenth Doctor's sonic screwdriver|his sonic screwdriver]], learning that the [[Dagger Drive]] had been damaged in an attack just as UNIT's [[scientific advisor]], [[Shirley Bingham]], approached him to share resources, though the Doctor instead talked to her of his worries about Donna remembering his face and being killed by the [[Human-Time Lord Meta-Crisis]] in her head. Once UNIT located the spaceships [[escape pod]], the Doctor went with them ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Star Beast (TV story)}}) just outside [[23 Bachelor Road]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Star Beast (novelisation)}}) where the Doctor, after a quick reunion with [[Sylvia Noble]], found that Rose was housing [[the Meep]]. With Shaun's return home calming things down, the Doctor listened as the Meep explained they were hiding from the [[Wrarth Warrior]]s, saying that they were hunting the Meep for their fur, just as UNIT soldiers hypnotised by [[Solar Psychedelia]] arrived looking for the Meep and the Wrarth Warriors also began an attack, resulting in a street fight that forced the Doctor, the Meep and the Nobler family to flee in Shaun's taxi, though not before the Doctor realised that the Wrarth Warriors were fighting with [[stun gun]]s, as opposed to the [[Soldiers of the Psychedelic Sun]] using live ammunition. | |||
[[File:Star Beast Carpark Court.png|thumb|The Doctor seeks answers. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Star Beast (TV story)}})]] | |||
Driving to a secluded [[car park]], the Doctor donned a [[barrister's wig]] and intercepted the Wrarth Warriors' teleportation to summon Sergeant [[Zogroth]] and Constable [[Zreeg]] to put the Meep's statements on trial, with the Wrarth Warriors revealing that they were working for the [[Galactic Council]] to capture the Meep for [[war crime]]s, with the Meep opting to drop their innocent façade and kill Zogroth and Zreeg as the Soldiers of the Psychedelic Sun arrived, though the Doctor bargained for his and the Noble family's safety by pointing out that he could be in league with the Wrarth Warriors and was more useful as a hostage. As he and the Noble family were brought to the steelworks, the Meep revealed that they planned to destroy London as fuel for their ship's Dagger Drive, just as Shirley arrived to rescue them from the hypnotised soldiers. While telling the Noble family to flee, the Doctor made his way into the Meep's ship to deactivate the Dagger Drive, only for Donna to follow him in to help. When the Meep's take-off separated him from half the controls and Donna, the Doctor found himself forced to reactive [[the DoctorDonna]] to stop the [[destruction of London]], with the pair working in tangent to stop the Meep's ship taking off, and undue the damage done to London. | |||
[[File:The Fourteenth Doctor grins.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor enjoys the happy ending. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Star Beast (TV story)}})]] | |||
While it looked like Donna was about to die from her brain overloading, it quickly transpired that the [[Human-Time Lord Meta-Crisis]] had been partially passed down to Rose, allowing Donna to survive as Rose deactivated the psychedelic sun emitters and freed the UNIT soldiers. As the Meep was taken away by the Wrarth Warriors, while promising to tell "[[the Boss]]" about the Doctor, Donna and Rose explained that [[letting go]] was the only way to safety disperse the Meta-Crisis from them. As the sun rose on a new day, the Doctor brought the Noble family to his TARDIS, and he and Donna convinced Sylvia to let them take a trip to see [[Wilfred Mott]] in his sheltered accommodation. Upon finding that the [[TARDIS control room]] has redesigned itself with a [[coffee machine]] on the [[TARDIS control console]], the Doctor gave Donna a cup of [[coffee]] as they talked about the Doctor's returning face and need to keep travelling, until Donna accidently spilled her coffee on the control console and sent the TARDIS spinning out of control through time and space.

[[File:The Mavity Of The Situation.png|thumb|The Doctor and Donna talk with [[Isaac Newton]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)}})]] | |||
Hurtling out of control, the Doctor and Donna found themselves in [[1666]], where they interrupted [[Isaac Newton]] as he discovered [[gravity]], and their joke on the "gravity of [their] situation" before they were yanked away caused him to mishear them and dub his new discovery "mavity". ([[TV]]: {{cs|Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)}}) They then intercepted the [[Red Baron]] in [[1917]], where a member of the [[Brigade of Gübernators]] hitched onto the TARDIS roof and remained in place as the TARDIS landed in front of [[Neanderthal]]s in 200,000 BC. After he and Donna accidentally saved [[Harold Godwinson]]'s life at the [[Battle of Hastings]] in [[1066]], the Doctor eventually disposed of the Gübernator, self-destructing it high above [[London]] in in the [[1970s]], as he realised he and Donna would have evacuate the TARDIS at their next stop.

[[File: | As the TARDIS interior erupted into an inferno, the Doctor and Donna managed to escape to [[Spaceship (Wild Blue Yonder)|an empty spaceship]] at the [[edge of the universe]], leaving the TARDIS to regenerate itself with aid of the sonic screwdriver until the reactivation of the [[Hostile Action Displacement System]] caused the TARDIS to flee without them. As they looked for the "hostile action" to "kick its arse" and get the TARDIS to return for them, the Doctor and Donna found [[Jimbo (Wild Blue Yonder)|a slow moving robot]] marching down the hallway, two [[not-thing]]s from beyond the edge had infiltrated the spaceship and that [[Captain (Wild Blue Yonder)|the captain]] had walked out the [[air-lock]] three years prior, all while an unknown language was saying words over the intercom periodically. After he got separated from Donna, the Doctor was tricked into opening up to a not-thing impersonating her about his guilt over the devastation of [[the Flux]] and his uncertainty of his identity after learning about the [[Timeless Child]], causing him to briefly lose his composure until he found Donna again, and kept the not-things at bay with a line of [[salt]], tricking them into thinking they had to count every grain to pass until they realised he was lying. | ||
[[File:WilfDoctorHug.jpg|thumb|The Doctor reunites with [[Wilfred Mott]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)}})]] | |||
As they retreated to the cockpit, the Doctor pieced together that the not-things could not understand the concept of [[slow]], and that the captain had initiated the robot to activate the ship's [[self-destruct]] at a slow pace, with the words over the intercom being the countdown, and then killed themselves to stop the not-things from realising their plan, only for the not-things to realise the plan as the Doctor did, so he accelerated the countdown and then gave chase to stop them interrupting the robot, only to realise that the not-things resilience would not stop the self-destruct, meaning the hostile actions were resolved, at which point the TARDIS returned, but the Doctor was tricked into bringing the non-thing with him instead of Donna, though he quickly realised his mistake and retrieved the real Donna as the ship blew up. Returning to Camden Market, though still worried what invoking the [[superstition]] of the salt line at a place where "the walls [were] thin and all things [were] possible" would bring, the Doctor and Donna were greeted by Wilf, only to find the city in chaos and Wilf begging the Doctor to save the day.

[[File:Gigglepic1.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor sees the chaos of [[the Giggle]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}})]] | |||
As he traversed the streets with Donna and Wilf, the Doctor watched humanity descend into chaos, with [[Middle Aged Man (The Giggle)|a pedestrian]] explaining that every human believed themselves to be in right, as the Doctor and Donna were pick up by [[Colonel]] [[Christofer Ibrahim]] and taken to [[UNIT HQ, City of London|UNIT headquarters]] as Wilf was taken to a safer location. Shirley and [[Kate Lethbridge-Stewart]] greeted the Doctor and Donna as they arrived, and [[Melanie Bush]] helped them to explain that a distorted waveform was responsible for the chaos to the Doctor. When Donna realised that the waveform was an [[arpeggio]] melody, it was discovered that the waveworm was the giggle of [[Stooky Bill]], who had been embedded in every screen screen since the invention of [[television]] in [[1925]] and was only now triggering due to the [[KOSAT 5]] satellite connected everyone to the internet. Leaving Kate to destroy KOSAT 5 with a [[Galvanic beam]] on his authority, the Doctor went to 1925 [[Soho]] with Donna to find the shop Stooky Bill came from, where they were met by [[the Toymaker]], who had managed to escape into the universe due to the Doctor's salt trick. | |||

[[File: | Escaping into [[Celestial Toyroom|his domain]], the Toymaker tormented the Doctor with a puppet show depicting the deaths of [[Amy Pond]], [[Clara Oswald]] and [[Bill Potts]] and the fallout of [[the Flux]], provoking the Doctor into challenging him to [[Game between the Toymaker and the Fourteenth Doctor|a game]] of [[Cut (game)|cut]], only for the Toymaker to emerge the winner. However, the Doctor, pointing out his victory in their [[Trilogic Game|last game]], invoked the [[best of three]] rule, meaning they were tied [[one-all]] and needed to have one more game to decide the ultimate victor between them. Delighted, the Toymaker agreed and transported to 2023 for their final match. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}}) | ||

{{main|Fourteenth Doctor's bi-generation}} | |||
Returning to UNIT HQ after they destroyed KOSAT 5, the Doctor tried to prepare them for the Toymaker's arrival, only for him to appear and overpower UNIT while dancing to "[[Spice Up Your Life]]", distracting them long enough to commandeer the Galvanic beam. The Doctor tried to talk the Toymaker into leaving Earth with him so that they could play games throughout the cosmos, but the Toymaker refused, instead shooting the Doctor with the Galvanic beam so he could play the third game with a third incarnation of the Doctor. As [[regeneration energy]] began to emit from him, the Doctor was comforted by Donna and Mel and prepared himself for the [[change of appearance]], only for the regeneration energy to dissipate without him changing. Noting that it "[felt] different this time", the Doctor had Donna and Mel pull him apart as he began to bi-generate in a previously unseen act of [[bi-generation]], with the [[Fifteenth Doctor]] splitting out of him. | |||
The Doctors then challenged the Toymaker to [[Game between the Toymaker and the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Doctors|a game]] of [[Catch (game)|catch]], reasoning that they could both play him due to still being the same person. After an intense game, the Fifteenth Doctor was able to make a winning throw, and the Fourteenth Doctor named banishing the Toymaker from existence as his prize. While everyone celebrated, the Fourteenth Doctor chose to lament the lives lost in the chaos of the Giggle, to which the Fifteenth Doctor comforted him over. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}}) | |||
=== | === Settling down === | ||
While showing the Fifteenth Doctor around the TARDIS control room, the Fourteenth Doctor began to wonder how life will work with the two of them simultaneously existing, but the Fifteenth Doctor to start telling him he needed to take a break after lifetimes of hardship to ensure his fifteenth incarnation would have his carefree attitude, saying that they were "doing rehab out of order", ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}}) as the Fourteenth Doctor thought about the last fifteen hours of facing the Daleks, the Meep, the not-things and the Toymaker without rest. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Giggle (novelisation)}}) As the Fifteenth Doctor listed the numerous battles they had fought and losses they had endured, Donna opened her home up the Fourteenth Doctor, and offered the theory that he had regenerated back into his tenth incarnation's appearance as a way of telling himself to "come home" to her. As he realised they were right, the Fourteenth Doctor still refused to part with the TARDIS, but the Fifteenth Doctor used the lingering powers of the Toymaker's domain to duplicate the TARDIS with a [[mallet]] as his prize for wining the game. Accepting that he had to let himself heal, the Fourteenth Doctor bid farewell to his fifteenth incarnation as he left to explore the universe. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}}) | |||
Seeking a home of his own on Earth, the Doctor considered buying a [[castle]], [[mansion]] or a [[beach hut]], but eventually found [[Fourteenth Doctor's home|a house]] in the [[countryside]] that connected with him due to its history of having people spend their whole lives inside, and attempted to purchase it for [[£]][[60 (number)|60]] from the [[estate agent]] [[Tiff (The Giggle)|Tiff]], who informed him of the much higher asking price and sold him the house after he realised he could afford it with the UNIT income he had been receiving since his [[third incarnation]], and even managed to avoid talking about the [[council tax]], [[parking zone]]s, [[catchment area]]s, [[mortgage]] and [[paperwork]].

I know these teeth.
Sentimental and compassionate, but with a cynical and self-reflective edge, the Fourteenth Doctor embraced the second chance he had in regenerating back into the body of his tenth incarnation, as he sought to respond to all the calls of adventure. He raced from one adventure to the next as he fought against the idea that he was "running on fumes" and emotionally exhausted, going a full fifteen hours without stopping to rest, too distracted by the mystery as to why he had regenerated back into a familiar body.
After a battle against psychoplasm Dalek constructs in the Dalek Dome and stop on Skaro during the genesis of the Daleks, the Doctor found himself reunited with his old companion Donna Noble on the same night the Meep tried to initiate the destruction of London, with only the release of the DoctorDonna managing to save the day, but Donna was saved from having her mind overload when it was revealed that her daughter, Rose, had inherited the Human-Time Lord Meta-Crisis and she and Donna were able to release the Meta-Crisis. When a visit to Wilf got sidetracked by a conflict with the not-things at the edge of the universe, the Doctor was forced to confront his emotional exhaustion, but chose to continue ignoring his pain, especially regarding the Flux.
However, the return of the Toymaker brought his traumas to the forefront, and he ended up shooting the Doctor with a Galvanic beam that triggered a bi-generation that created the Fifteenth Doctor, who teamed up with his fourteenth incarnation to banish the Toymaker. Spurred on by Donna and his fifteenth incarnation, the Doctor decided to settle down on Earth with the Noble family to do "rehab out of order" and allow himself to heal to ensure his next incarnation would have his carefree attitude.
Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
A day to come[[edit] | [edit source]]
When the Eleventh Doctor met the Curator in the Under Gallery and quipped how he "never forget[s] a face", the Curator cryptically replied that he "might find [him]self revisiting a few" in the "years to come", though only "old favourites". (TV: The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (TV story)"])
While facing being shot by guards of the Good Doctor, the Thirteenth Doctor claimed any attempt on her life would result in "a miracle". (PROSE: The Good Doctor [+]Loading...["The Good Doctor (novel)"]) She later considered regenerating to generate residual artron energy. (PROSE: The Maze of Doom [+]Loading...["The Maze of Doom (novel)"])
At the conclusion of the final Flux event, after the embodiment of Time disintegrated the Ravagers Swarm and Azure, the Thirteenth Doctor was warned that her "time [was] heading to its end". (TV: The Vanquishers [+]Loading...["The Vanquishers (TV story)"]) The Thirteenth Doctor later compiled a book about all of her lives to aid her next incarnation if they "[felt] weird" after regeneration. (PROSE: A Short History of Everyone [+]Loading...["A Short History of Everyone (novel)"])
The Thirteenth Doctor remarked to Cleo Proctor that she would stand up again if she "clobber[ed]" her, remarking that she would regenerate "possibly several times". (AUDIO: Salvation [+]Loading...["Salvation (audio story)"])
Hijacked by the Master[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Main article: Thirteenth Doctor's forced regeneration
The Thirteenth Doctor was made to undergo a forced regeneration into her fourteenth incarnation in a chamber by the Spy Master, who used the energies of a Qurunx as a power source for a cyber-conversion planet that allowed him to obtain the energy needed to hijack the Doctor's regeneration and insert himself as her fourteenth incarnation. However, due to a fail-safe the Doctor had enacted before her regeneration, the Holo-Doctor was able to work in conjunction with Yaz Khan, Tegan Jovanka and Ace to undue the Master's Dalek Plan, with Inston-Vee Vinder helping Yaz to force the Master back into the chamber so that they could use the CyberMasters' regeneration energy to get the Master to degenerate back into the Thirteenth Doctor, returning him to his original body. (TV: The Power of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Power of the Doctor (TV story)"])
Post-regeneration[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Main article: Thirteenth Doctor's regeneration
After the Doctor freed the Qurunx so it could destroy the cyber-conversion planet, the Master spitefully used his Tissue Compression Eliminator to redirect the Qurunx's destructive blast at the Doctor, fatally wounding her. Staving off the regeneration long enough to have a final conversation with Yaz, the Doctor then travelled alone to a cliff overlooking the sea, where she could enjoy the sunrise before she regenerated. Making peace with herself, the Doctor began to regenerate, with her outfit morphing into a completely different set of clothes with her, (TV: The Power of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Power of the Doctor (TV story)"]) as she subconsciously allowed the lingering stress from her recent adventures to effect the regeneration. (TV: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"]) After the regeneration completed, the Fourteenth Doctor ran his tongue over his teeth (PROSE: A Letter from the Doctor 2024 [+]Loading...{"page":"6","1":"A Letter from the Doctor (DWAN 2024 short story)"}) and found himself taken aback by the fact that he was in a body remarkably identical to his tenth incarnation, (TV: The Power of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Power of the Doctor (TV story)"]) thinking how he should be "somebody new" instead of "somebody [he'd] been before", and also thought that his clothes changing too was "weird". (PROSE: "Heroes of Time" [+]Part of Whotopia: The Ultimate Guide to the Whoniverse, Loading...{"namedpart":"Heroes of Time","1":"Whotopia: The Ultimate Guide to the Whoniverse (reference book)"})
After returning to the TARDIS, (COMIC: Liberation of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)"]) the Doctor wrote a letter to the readers of an annual as he continued to question why he had regenerated back into an old body. While he acknowledged that he had new braincells, he wrote that he had regained his old teeth, hands, "fantastic" hair, "slightly quizzical left eyebrow" and "brilliant" grin, concluding that it was nice to have this face back, but that he was still unsure as to why. As he wrote down how his clothes had also changed for the first time since the First Doctor's renewal, he got distracted by something "making a right old racket" on the opposite side of the TARDIS control console. (PROSE: A Letter from the Doctor 2024 [+]Loading...{"page":"6","1":"A Letter from the Doctor (DWAN 2024 short story)"})
The first adventure[[edit] | [edit source]]
Seeing that the noise was a distress signal, the Doctor followed it to what seemed to be Wembley Stadium during the 1966 World Cup Final, where he found what he thought were time tourists watching the historical football tournament, using psychic shields to cover the fact they were a family of purple aliens. However, when a Dalek flying saucer appeared in the sky and started deploying a force of Bronze Daleks to start an invasion, the Doctor focused his efforts on getting the Supreme Dalek's attention so that the Daleks would abandon their attack in an attempt to exterminate him instead. Fleeing back to the TARDIS, the Doctor was handed the World Cup's Jules Rimet Trophy by Georgy Gold, who had mistaken him for the police. Not having enough time for explanations, the Doctor bundled Georgy into the safety of the TARDIS, only for a Dalek saucer to seize it before he could follow her in, leaving him surrounded by the Daleks as the Supreme Dalek ordered them to exterminate him, only for their blasts to have no effect, surprising both them and the Doctor. With both wanting answers, the Doctor let himself be taken aboard the Dalek saucer, where he bargained for the invasion to be stopped in return for providing an explanation to the Supreme Dalek after scanning himself with the sonic screwdriver, which the Supreme Dalek agreed to. After scanning the Daleks, the Doctor realised that they were simulacra of real Daleks and and that he was in a simulation, though the Supreme Dalek refused to believe him and destroyed the Earth to prove they were real. However, Claire and Claudine then materialised on the bridge, captured the Doctor and teleported him away, as the Daleks watched in confusion, to the Dalek Dome, where the Doctor met Georgette Gold and learnt he had been in an attraction at a theme park based on Dalek history.
As Georgette showed him the attractions, the Doctor continuously voiced his displeasure at how the "suffering of countless billions" was being made a "fun day out for the family". When Georgette revealed she had lured him in with the distress signal, the Doctor attempted to return to his TARDIS until Georgette told him he couldn't return to the 66-scape until the psychoplasm had been vented, so he followed her to a control room and discovered Kaled mutants sleeping in tanks, with the one designated Specimen Six Sigma waking up, which the Doctor realised was due to his questioning of the Daleks' existence in the 1966 simulation, prompting Georgette to shut it down, depositing the TARDIS in the lobby. The Doctor rushed to the TARDIS, where they discovered Georgy, who was Georgette's simulacra in the 66-space, had been forced to let the Supreme Dalek into the ship in order for it to survive the shutdown and escape into reality. The Doctor tried to convince the Supreme Dalek the Daleks were still fakes by scanning them with his sonic screwdriver, only for the the Supreme Dalek to have one if its guards destroy it, with the gathering crowd convinced they were watching a live show and asking to be exterminated, ignoring the Doctor's warnings. However, it soon became apparent that the Daleks were becoming anatomically unstable and would soon dissolve once the residue from the artron energy in the TARDIS dissipated, along with Georgy. Unable to stop a tearful Georgy from running off due to needing to focus on the Daleks, the Doctor kept them distracted until they melted away, but was then forced to leave the Dalek Dome by the staff when he continued to advocate its closing.
As he planned to skip ahead in time, the Doctor was drawn into the Dalek Dome's Golden City Zone by Georgy, who had allied herself with the Golden Dalek Emperor in order to find a way for the simulacra to become real, and could only watch as a Dalek interrogator used a hypno-pulse in conjunction with Georgy's connection to her to hypnotise Georgette into transmitting the hypno-pulse into the Dalek Dome and allow the Golden Emperor to gain control as it began constructing a quantum-powered reality gate to enable it's escape from the simulation. However, the Doctor managed to trick the Golden Emperor into revealing its plan of conquest to Georgy, and she severed the hypnotic link to the Dome, though she was swiftly killed. As the Golden Emperor explained it would harvest the psychoplasm of the other Dalek Zones, the Doctor was rescued by Georgette, Claire and Claudine, and they escaped to a zone governed by the Dalek Emperor of the Dalek City, who the Doctor convinced to ally with him and a Dalek Alliance in order to stop the Golden Emperor, though the Alliance's attempt to destroy the Golden Emperor only incited chaos. Taking control of the situation, the Doctor teleported himself into the Golden Emperor's control centre and arranged the destruction of the quantum-powered reality gate, causing the psychoscape to collapse as he escaped in his TARDIS, which also destroyed the Daleks attacking the Earth. As Georgette lamented the destruction the Daleks had caused while free in reality, the Doctor left it up to her what to do with Dalek Dome as he made his leave. However, he found that the Jules Rimet Trophy that Georgy had left on the TARDIS control console had also melted, and he pondered if the fast return switch had been compromised. (COMIC: Liberation of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)"])
After the TARDIS crash-landed on Skaro (TV: Destination: Skaro [+]Loading...["Destination: Skaro (TV story)"]) due to the compromised fast return switch, (COMIC: Liberation of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)"]) the Doctor emerged to greet Castavillian and ponder aloud why he had regenerated back into an "old face", only to discover that the TARDIS had collided with a Dalek in a Mark III Travel Machine casing and torn its multi-dextrous claw clean off, as he thought aloud about his fortunate at not being exterminated during the "genesis of the Daleks". Once he realised that Castavillian had been recording down his musings, and that he was creating a bootstrap paradox that could put ruptures in "the timelines and canon", the Doctor went to leave, but stopped to replace the multi-dextrous claw with a plunger before he left. (TV: Destination: Skaro [+]Loading...["Destination: Skaro (TV story)"])
Enjoying a second chance[[edit] | [edit source]]
After he obtained a new sonic screwdriver, (WC: The Fourteenth Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver [+]Loading...["The Fourteenth Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver (webcast)"]) the Doctor found himself in what appeared to be a cave, (PROSE: Under Control [+]Loading...{"page":"10-15","1":"Under Control (short story)"}) which he was compelled to explore due to remnants of his tenth incarnation's blood being used in blood control, (COMIC: Into Control [+]Loading...{"page":"53","1":"Into Control (comic story)"}) and he ended up saving a Strombok in peril and rescuing scared Vega Raptons from a pig he named Alfredo. As he and Alfredo rescued some humans and Sarnsquids, (PROSE: Under Control) the Doctor found himself facing the Queen of the Sycorax, who planned to use blood control and the blood taken from the blade that cut off the Tenth Doctor's hand to force the Doctor to take the place of the Sarnsquids that were moving her ship. However, because he had different blood from his tenth incarnation, the Doctor was able to resist the blood control and duelled the Queen until Alfredo knocked her into the ship's bile pit, with the Sycorax Queen teleporting away to escape the vengeful Sarnsquids. As the Sarnsquids took control of the ship, the Doctor urged all the lifeforms aboard to use it to get home as he left with Alfredo, saying that they should make the most of "second chances". (COMIC: Into Control [+]Loading...{"page":"48-55","1":"Into Control (comic story)"})
Upon arriving on Planet Bedtime Stories, the Doctor told The Way Back Home, a story written and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers, about a boy who befriended a Martian after they got stranded on the Moon. After concluding the story, he began to tell a story about himself before realising he didn't have enough time to tell it. (TV: Doctor Who: The Bedtime Story [+]Loading...["Doctor Who: The Bedtime Story (TV story)"])
Reunited with Donna[[edit] | [edit source]]
When the TARDIS landed Camden Market (TV: The Star Beast [+]Loading...["The Star Beast (TV story)"]) during November 2023, (PROSE: The Star Beast [+]Loading...["The Star Beast (novelisation)"]) the Doctor found himself running into Donna Noble while she was out shopping with her daughter, Rose, just as a spaceship landed at the Millson Wagner Steelworks, with the Doctor going to investigate after being getting a ride from Donna's husband, Shaun Temple, in his taxi, and using the trip to get an update on Donna's life since he last saw her. Arriving at the steelworks shortly after UNIT established a perimeter, the Doctor snuck in to scan the spaceship with his sonic screwdriver, learning that the Dagger Drive had been damaged in an attack just as UNIT's scientific advisor, Shirley Bingham, approached him to share resources, though the Doctor instead talked to her of his worries about Donna remembering his face and being killed by the Human-Time Lord Meta-Crisis in her head. Once UNIT located the spaceships escape pod, the Doctor went with them (TV: The Star Beast [+]Loading...["The Star Beast (TV story)"]) just outside 23 Bachelor Road, (PROSE: The Star Beast [+]Loading...["The Star Beast (novelisation)"]) where the Doctor, after a quick reunion with Sylvia Noble, found that Rose was housing the Meep. With Shaun's return home calming things down, the Doctor listened as the Meep explained they were hiding from the Wrarth Warriors, saying that they were hunting the Meep for their fur, just as UNIT soldiers hypnotised by Solar Psychedelia arrived looking for the Meep and the Wrarth Warriors also began an attack, resulting in a street fight that forced the Doctor, the Meep and the Nobler family to flee in Shaun's taxi, though not before the Doctor realised that the Wrarth Warriors were fighting with stun guns, as opposed to the Soldiers of the Psychedelic Sun using live ammunition.
Driving to a secluded car park, the Doctor donned a barrister's wig and intercepted the Wrarth Warriors' teleportation to summon Sergeant Zogroth and Constable Zreeg to put the Meep's statements on trial, with the Wrarth Warriors revealing that they were working for the Galactic Council to capture the Meep for war crimes, with the Meep opting to drop their innocent façade and kill Zogroth and Zreeg as the Soldiers of the Psychedelic Sun arrived, though the Doctor bargained for his and the Noble family's safety by pointing out that he could be in league with the Wrarth Warriors and was more useful as a hostage. As he and the Noble family were brought to the steelworks, the Meep revealed that they planned to destroy London as fuel for their ship's Dagger Drive, just as Shirley arrived to rescue them from the hypnotised soldiers. While telling the Noble family to flee, the Doctor made his way into the Meep's ship to deactivate the Dagger Drive, only for Donna to follow him in to help. When the Meep's take-off separated him from half the controls and Donna, the Doctor found himself forced to reactive the DoctorDonna to stop the destruction of London, with the pair working in tangent to stop the Meep's ship taking off, and undue the damage done to London.
While it looked like Donna was about to die from her brain overloading, it quickly transpired that the Human-Time Lord Meta-Crisis had been partially passed down to Rose, allowing Donna to survive as Rose deactivated the psychedelic sun emitters and freed the UNIT soldiers. As the Meep was taken away by the Wrarth Warriors, while promising to tell "the Boss" about the Doctor, Donna and Rose explained that letting go was the only way to safety disperse the Meta-Crisis from them. As the sun rose on a new day, the Doctor brought the Noble family to his TARDIS, and he and Donna convinced Sylvia to let them take a trip to see Wilfred Mott in his sheltered accommodation. Upon finding that the TARDIS control room has redesigned itself with a coffee machine on the TARDIS control console, the Doctor gave Donna a cup of coffee as they talked about the Doctor's returning face and need to keep travelling, until Donna accidently spilled her coffee on the control console and sent the TARDIS spinning out of control through time and space. (TV: The Star Beast [+]Loading...["The Star Beast (TV story)"])
At the edge of the universe[[edit] | [edit source]]
Hurtling out of control, the Doctor and Donna found themselves in 1666, where they interrupted Isaac Newton as he discovered gravity, and their joke on the "gravity of [their] situation" before they were yanked away caused him to mishear them and dub his new discovery "mavity". (TV: Wild Blue Yonder [+]Loading...["Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)"]) They then intercepted the Red Baron in 1917, where a member of the Brigade of Gübernators hitched onto the TARDIS roof and remained in place as the TARDIS landed in front of Neanderthals in 200,000 BC. After he and Donna accidentally saved Harold Godwinson's life at the Battle of Hastings in 1066, the Doctor eventually disposed of the Gübernator, self-destructing it high above London in in the 1970s, as he realised he and Donna would have evacuate the TARDIS at their next stop. (COMIC: Untitled [+]Loading...["Untitled (DWM 598 comic story)"])
As the TARDIS interior erupted into an inferno, the Doctor and Donna managed to escape to an empty spaceship at the edge of the universe, leaving the TARDIS to regenerate itself with aid of the sonic screwdriver until the reactivation of the Hostile Action Displacement System caused the TARDIS to flee without them. As they looked for the "hostile action" to "kick its arse" and get the TARDIS to return for them, the Doctor and Donna found a slow moving robot marching down the hallway, two not-things from beyond the edge had infiltrated the spaceship and that the captain had walked out the air-lock three years prior, all while an unknown language was saying words over the intercom periodically. After he got separated from Donna, the Doctor was tricked into opening up to a not-thing impersonating her about his guilt over the devastation of the Flux and his uncertainty of his identity after learning about the Timeless Child, causing him to briefly lose his composure until he found Donna again, and kept the not-things at bay with a line of salt, tricking them into thinking they had to count every grain to pass until they realised he was lying.
As they retreated to the cockpit, the Doctor pieced together that the not-things could not understand the concept of slow, and that the captain had initiated the robot to activate the ship's self-destruct at a slow pace, with the words over the intercom being the countdown, and then killed themselves to stop the not-things from realising their plan, only for the not-things to realise the plan as the Doctor did, so he accelerated the countdown and then gave chase to stop them interrupting the robot, only to realise that the not-things resilience would not stop the self-destruct, meaning the hostile actions were resolved, at which point the TARDIS returned, but the Doctor was tricked into bringing the non-thing with him instead of Donna, though he quickly realised his mistake and retrieved the real Donna as the ship blew up. Returning to Camden Market, though still worried what invoking the superstition of the salt line at a place where "the walls [were] thin and all things [were] possible" would bring, the Doctor and Donna were greeted by Wilf, only to find the city in chaos and Wilf begging the Doctor to save the day. (TV: Wild Blue Yonder [+]Loading...["Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)"])
Rematch with the Toymaker[[edit] | [edit source]]
As he traversed the streets with Donna and Wilf, the Doctor watched humanity descend into chaos, with a pedestrian explaining that every human believed themselves to be in right, as the Doctor and Donna were pick up by Colonel Christofer Ibrahim and taken to UNIT headquarters as Wilf was taken to a safer location. Shirley and Kate Lethbridge-Stewart greeted the Doctor and Donna as they arrived, and Melanie Bush helped them to explain that a distorted waveform was responsible for the chaos to the Doctor. When Donna realised that the waveform was an arpeggio melody, it was discovered that the waveworm was the giggle of Stooky Bill, who had been embedded in every screen screen since the invention of television in 1925 and was only now triggering due to the KOSAT 5 satellite connected everyone to the internet. Leaving Kate to destroy KOSAT 5 with a Galvanic beam on his authority, the Doctor went to 1925 Soho with Donna to find the shop Stooky Bill came from, where they were met by the Toymaker, who had managed to escape into the universe due to the Doctor's salt trick.
Escaping into his domain, the Toymaker tormented the Doctor with a puppet show depicting the deaths of Amy Pond, Clara Oswald and Bill Potts and the fallout of the Flux, provoking the Doctor into challenging him to a game of cut, only for the Toymaker to emerge the winner. However, the Doctor, pointing out his victory in their last game, invoked the best of three rule, meaning they were tied one-all and needed to have one more game to decide the ultimate victor between them. Delighted, the Toymaker agreed and transported to 2023 for their final match. (TV: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"])
Bi-generation[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Main article: Fourteenth Doctor's bi-generation
Returning to UNIT HQ after they destroyed KOSAT 5, the Doctor tried to prepare them for the Toymaker's arrival, only for him to appear and overpower UNIT while dancing to "Spice Up Your Life", distracting them long enough to commandeer the Galvanic beam. The Doctor tried to talk the Toymaker into leaving Earth with him so that they could play games throughout the cosmos, but the Toymaker refused, instead shooting the Doctor with the Galvanic beam so he could play the third game with a third incarnation of the Doctor. As regeneration energy began to emit from him, the Doctor was comforted by Donna and Mel and prepared himself for the change of appearance, only for the regeneration energy to dissipate without him changing. Noting that it "[felt] different this time", the Doctor had Donna and Mel pull him apart as he began to bi-generate in a previously unseen act of bi-generation, with the Fifteenth Doctor splitting out of him.
The Doctors then challenged the Toymaker to a game of catch, reasoning that they could both play him due to still being the same person. After an intense game, the Fifteenth Doctor was able to make a winning throw, and the Fourteenth Doctor named banishing the Toymaker from existence as his prize. While everyone celebrated, the Fourteenth Doctor chose to lament the lives lost in the chaos of the Giggle, to which the Fifteenth Doctor comforted him over. (TV: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"])
Settling down[[edit] | [edit source]]
While showing the Fifteenth Doctor around the TARDIS control room, the Fourteenth Doctor began to wonder how life will work with the two of them simultaneously existing, but the Fifteenth Doctor to start telling him he needed to take a break after lifetimes of hardship to ensure his fifteenth incarnation would have his carefree attitude, saying that they were "doing rehab out of order", (TV: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"]) as the Fourteenth Doctor thought about the last fifteen hours of facing the Daleks, the Meep, the not-things and the Toymaker without rest. (PROSE: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (novelisation)"]) As the Fifteenth Doctor listed the numerous battles they had fought and losses they had endured, Donna opened her home up the Fourteenth Doctor, and offered the theory that he had regenerated back into his tenth incarnation's appearance as a way of telling himself to "come home" to her. As he realised they were right, the Fourteenth Doctor still refused to part with the TARDIS, but the Fifteenth Doctor used the lingering powers of the Toymaker's domain to duplicate the TARDIS with a mallet as his prize for wining the game. Accepting that he had to let himself heal, the Fourteenth Doctor bid farewell to his fifteenth incarnation as he left to explore the universe. (TV: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"])
Seeking a home of his own on Earth, the Doctor considered buying a castle, mansion or a beach hut, but eventually found a house in the countryside that connected with him due to its history of having people spend their whole lives inside, and attempted to purchase it for £60 from the estate agent Tiff, who informed him of the much higher asking price and sold him the house after he realised he could afford it with the UNIT income he had been receiving since his third incarnation, and even managed to avoid talking about the council tax, parking zones, catchment areas, mortgage and paperwork. (PROSE: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (novelisation)"])
Rehab with the Noble family[[edit] | [edit source]]
Although he had chosen to retire, the Doctor would take the occasional trip in the TARDIS, such as clandestinely taking Rose to Mars and Mel to New York City during the Gilded Age. During a garden party, where he entertained his adopted family with tales from his adventures, the Doctor let Donna know that he had "never been so happy in [his] life" as he witnessed the peace he had long fought for, even though Donna suggested that he could resume his travels at anytime. (TV: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"])
History takes its course[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Fourteenth Doctor would eventually overcome his issues and complete the bi-generation from which the Fifteenth Doctor emerged from. (TV: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"])
