=== A day to come ===

<!--This section if for the hints and teases the Doctor finds out about his future regenerations, as well as incidents where he almost regenerates into his next incarnation. Multi-Doctor events do not belong in this section, as such events are removed from the younger Doctor's memory and he forgets the encounter, though trace memories may count.-->

The [[First Doctor]] would occasionally have premonitions of his future incarnations, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Big Hand for the Doctor (short story)|A Big Hand for the Doctor]]'') and there was a rumour that he was able to glimpse his first seven regenerations during a game of [[Eighth Man Bound]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Christmas on a Rational Planet (novel)|Christmas on a Rational Planet]]'', ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'')

The First Doctor was shown footage of the Seventh Doctor, as well as his ten other successors, by the [[Testimony]] when he expressed doubt over the [[Twelfth Doctor]]'s identity. ([[TV]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'')

When the [[Fifth Doctor]] was under the influence of the Dark, he saw a nightmare image of himself regenerating as far as his seventh incarnation on a blood soaked altar. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Fear of the Dark (novel)|Fear of the Dark]]'')

During an encounter with {{O'Mara}} on [[Koturia]], the Sixth Doctor was warned his regeneration could "happen sooner than [he thought]". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Something Borrowed (short story)|Something Borrowed]]'')

When {{Ainley}} exposed [[the Valeyard]]'s alliance with [[High Council]] to the Sixth Doctor at his trial, he revealed that the Valeyard was acting as the prosecutor for the trial in exchange for the Doctor's remaining [[regeneration]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Ultimate Foe (TV story)|The Ultimate Foe]]'')

The Valeyard offered to tell the Sixth Doctor of his next incarnation, whom he claimed was filled with "plots and schemes," all to win a game "that was never his to win." ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Trial of the Valeyard (audio story)|Trial of the Valeyard]]'')

While poisoned, the Sixth Doctor and [[Evelyn Smythe]] observed the Seventh Doctor, Ace and Hex. Evelyn noted that the Seventh Doctor seemed "a rather jolly man", while the Sixth Doctor commented that he heard his seventh incarnation was "always blowing up planets". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The 100 Days of the Doctor (audio story)|The 100 Days of the Doctor]]'')

After being mortally wounded by [[Zor (Piece of Mind)|Zor]], the Sixth Doctor began to regenerate, and was on the brink of a [[regenerative collapse]] when he was found and healed by [[Captain]] [[Jack Harkness]] after the TARDIS landed in late [[20th century]] [[Wales]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Piece of Mind (audio story)|Piece of Mind]]'')

=== Post-regeneration ===

However, as the Doctor found what was wrong with it, the real Mel snuck into the lab and the two convinced each other of their identities, exposing the Rani's lies. Escaping, the Doctor discovered that several other geniuses from throughout time, including [[Albert Einstein]] and [[Hypatia]], had been captured to act as components of the Rani's "time brain". Forced to become the final component, the Doctor's still recovering mind caused it to spout nonsense, though he also inadvertently provided the brain with the means to determine the needed substance: [[Loyhargil]]. The Lakertyan leader, [[Beyus]], then sacrificed his life to destroy the brain and delay the launch long enough for the rocket to miss the asteroid. Rescuing the captives, the Doctor took them back to their own times. ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'')

=== New adventures with Mel ===

Shortly after he dropped Mel off in [[London]], the Doctor became a prisoner at "[[the Institute]]", and sent the TARDIS back to Mel to save him. After he had been driven insane, the Doctor was found by Mel, who helped him restore his sanity. Informed that the Institute was run by the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]], the Doctor found that medics were conducting experiments to graft TARDIS minds into sentient life forms, and, horrified at their amoral stance, restored the TARDIS consciousnesses to their physical bodies, and freed the inmates. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Unregenerate! (audio story)|Unregenerate!]]'')

Landing on the [[Needle (Red)|Needle]], the Doctor became affected by the "Red" infection. Investigating why this was happening, he got the attention of the controlling computer [[Whitenoise]]. He realised that the he was being affected because he was a time sensitive and the infection was caused by the editing of [[Celia Fortunaté]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Red (audio story)|Red]]'')  

Visiting the [[Hammerson Plastic PLC]] [[1999]] [[New Year's Eve]] gala, the Doctor revealed to Mel that its owner, [[Alisha Hammerson]], was an advanced [[Auton]] under the control of the [[Nestene Consciousness]]. After her Auton workers gassed the building, the Doctor was awoken by Hammerson, and given a tour of the building. Once he reached the chamber containing the Nestene Consciousness, he distracted the Autons long enough to enable Mel to destroy their link with the nearest Nestene world, thwarting their plans of conquering the Earth. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Plastic Millenium (comic story)|Plastic Millenium]]'')

=== Early travels with Ace ===

While exploring the TARDIS, Ace came across a locked room containing a window that visualised Gallifrey during the Doctor's childhood, which the Doctor had bought in his [[second incarnation]]. Feeling that it served as nothing more than a reminder of the past, the Doctor set about sealing the room off. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[uPVC (short story)|uPVC]]'')

The Doctor and Ace were present in [[London]] during the [[coronation]] of [[Elizabeth II]] on [[2 June]] [[1953]], where the Doctor played chess against orange humanoids from another realm. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Where's the Doctor? (comic story)|Where's the Doctor?]]'')

=== Ending the Dalek civil war ===

[[File:Ashes_to_ashes._Dust_to_dust.jpg|thumb|"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust." ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'')]]

The Doctor returned to [[Shoreditch]] in [[November]] [[1963]] to take care of events he had set in motion during his [[first incarnation]], first by retrieving the [[Hand of Omega]]. His mission was disrupted by the [[Renegade Dalek|Renegade]] and [[Imperial Dalek]]s, despite him anticipating one faction showing up, placing the Doctor, Ace and the [[Intrusion Counter-Measures Group]] in the crossfire of the [[Imperial-Renegade Dalek Civil War]], prompting the Doctor to join forces with Counter Measures leaders, Group Captain [[Ian Gilmore]] and Professor [[Rachel Jensen]].

After being trapped in a [[Temporal Plexus]] for eight days, the Doctor and Ace escaped by exploding a star, but landed on a Skaro where the Daleks were a benevolent species regarded as great philosophers and medics, with even the Time Lords seeking them out for medical aid. Realising that something had changed history on a cosmic scale, the Doctor discovered that he himself had created this new timeline in his escape from the Plexus, just as the alternate universe started to decay. Despite Ace's protests, the Doctor took the TARDIS back into the Plexus, and negated the timeline of the peaceful Daleks by merging with their past selves in their escape from the exploding star. The Doctor then made a quick trip to Skaro to confirm the restoration of the proper timeline. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Ripple Effect (short story)|The Ripple Effect]]'')

=== Further travels with Ace ===

On [[Terra Alpha]], where citizens were being executed by the [[Kandyman]] if they did not follow [[Helen A]]'s happy dictatorship, the Doctor arranged the death of her beloved pet [[Stigorax]] to show Helen A that true happiness could only exist if balanced with negative emotions like sadness. Leaving citizen [[Daisy K]] and visiting [[Blues]] musician [[Trevor Sigma]] to help restore order to Terra Alpha, the Doctor and Ace departed. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Happiness Patrol (TV story)|The Happiness Patrol]]'')

The Doctor and Ace visited [[Bob Dovie]] at [[59A Barnsfield Crescent]] in [[Totton]], [[Hampshire]] on 23 November 1963, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Light at the End (audio story)|The Light at the End]]'') and the Doctor later attended a private Christmas party hosted by his [[first incarnation]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Feast of Seven... Eight and Nine (short story)|The Feast of Seven... Eight (and Nine)]]'')

Having traced something wrong with the Starfire project, the Doctor ensconced himself in the local politics as a member of parliament, John Rutherford, on an anti-nuclear ground. He employed his old acquaintance [[Ian Gilmore]] to help in his investigations, and had Ace be a maid for [[Amanda Caulfield]]. He discovered the [[The Light (1963: The Assassination Games)|the Light]] had been present on the planet for centuries and planned to use the Starfire weapons to destroy America to put the UK back on top as that was why the species invaded the UK in the first place. After defeating the Light, the Doctor was worried that they would try again. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[1963: The Assassination Games (audio story)|1963: The Assassination Games]]'')

=== Temporary companions ===

After leaving Ace in the Cretaceous period, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Train-Flight (comic story)|Train-Flight]]'') the Doctor was travelling with [[Frobisher]] when he prevented an [[Ice Warrior]] plot on the planet [[A-Lux]], where he bid Frobisher a final adieu. The Doctor then departed with a new friend, [[Olla]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[A Cold Day in Hell! (comic story)|A Cold Day in Hell!]]'') However, the Doctor discovered that Olla was actually a fugitive from the law, and handed her over to the authorities when they forcibly entered his TARDIS looking for her. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Redemption! (comic story)|Redemption!]]'')

=== Solo adventures ===

The Doctor's TARDIS collided with [[Death's Head]], a mechanoid bounty hunter from another dimension. The Doctor used a [[TCE]] to reduce Death's Head's size, and then sent him to Earth in the [[82nd century]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Crossroads of Time (comic story)|The Crossroads of Time]]'') The Doctor then visited [[London]] in [[1851]], where he met scientist [[Nathaniel Derridge]] and stopped the [[Klathi]] from destroying the city. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Claws of the Klathi! (comic story)|Claws of the Klathi!]]'')

Arriving instead on [[Tojana]], the Doctor discovered that the native race of violent and suicidal lizards was preparing a last supper for their kind before their planet was completely submerged. As the natives had become resigned to their fate, and were callously killing each other before the end, the Doctor managed to convince the one concerned lizard that it could find a way of surviving. While all the rest of the natives indulged in the slaughter of one another, the Doctor and "the [[Worrier]]" constructed a [[raft]], which they used to survive the waves which engulfed the land. Bidding the Worrier a goodbye and good fortune, the Doctor left the planet. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Time and Tide (comic story)|Time and Tide]]'')

Once again missing Maruthea, the Doctor instead found himself in [[1992]] London, and became caught up in a [[Gantac]] invasion of Earth. Teaming up with a homeless man named [[Leapy]], the Doctor defeated the [[Gantacian]]s' leader, the Great [[Yaga]], and, in doing so, the rest of the Gantacian race, before departing. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Invaders from Gantac! (comic story)|Invaders from Gantac!]]'')

While walking around [[Westminster Abbey]], the Doctor was attacked by [[time flies]], but was saved by his [[twelfth incarnation]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[A Stitch in Time (CC comic story)|A Stitch in Time]]'')

The Doctor tried to reach Maruthea again, but instead arrived on [[Hell (planet)|Hell]], where he discovered the crashed ''[[Kill-Wagon]]'' and the bodies of [[Salander (Star Tigers)|Salander]], [[Vol Mercurius]] and [[Harma]]. He was rescued from the [[Dalek]]s by [[Abslom Daak]], and together they learned that the Daleks had enslaved the native [[Helkan]]s to mine [[helkogen]]. The Doctor and Daak were taken aboard the Daleks' [[Death Wheel]], where Daak prevented the Doctor from sacrificing himself to destroy the ship. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Nemesis of the Daleks (comic story)|Nemesis of the Daleks]]'')

The Doctor went to a park in [[Solar City]] on [[Galactica Minor]], where he was accosted by [[Miff]], a reporter for the ''[[Universal Herald]]''. Annoyed by his persistent questions, the Doctor took Miff to the [[Metebelis Bar]], where the patrons attacked him when he claimed to be the Doctor's friend. They pursued him into the TARDIS, where the Doctor took him twenty years into the future, ten years after the ''Herald'' went out of business, and left him there. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Once in a Lifetime (comic story)|Once in a Lifetime]]'')

The Doctor carried a [[Telphin]] life-seed to Earth, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Memorial (comic story)|Memorial]]'') and returned to [[Seetar]] to put a stop the human sacrifices made to worship his [[first incarnation]] and [[Ian Chesterton]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[A Religious Experience (comic story)|A Religious Experience]]'')

The Doctor was at Chartwell on [[16 November]] [[1936]], where he met up with [[Winston Churchill]], and told him that King [[Edward VIII]]'s lover, [[Wallis Simpson]], was an alien. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Lost Diaries of Winston Spencer Churchill (short story)|The Lost Diaries of Winston Spencer Churchill]]'')

Paying a visit to [[Michael Faraday]] in [[1854]], the Doctor delivered the remains of the [[Special Weapons Dalek]]. [[Ulrik]] appeared, followed by several Daleks tracking him through time. The Doctor manipulated events so that Ulrik would time travel once more and sent the Daleks after him, knowing that the [[Sixth Doctor]] would defeat them. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Four Doctors (audio story)|The Four Doctors]]'')

=== Growing darker ===

Returning to [[Mongolia]] during the Cretaceous period to pick up Ace, the Doctor encountered a pit of [[Dhole]]s and an alien slave who had escaped from a nearby construction site. Ace arrived with a herd of assorted [[dinosaur]]s to trample the site, destroying it and freeing the slaves. The Doctor and Ace then departed together. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Living in the Past (short story)|Living in the Past]]'')

The Doctor attended a school reunion at [[Hexen Bridge]], a school at which he was one of the governors. He was kidnapped by [[Jerak]], the other half of the [[Malus]] war machine which he had defeated in his [[fifth incarnation]]. After being turned into a walking bomb and manipulated to perform tasks that brought misery to Jerak's enemies, the Doctor stopped Jerak's plan to poison the world's [[water]] supply with a chemical that would turn the human race into insane murderers, and Ace destroyed Jerak's gateway domain, destroying him. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Hollow Men (novel)|The Hollow Men]]'')

=== Work to do ===

While visiting some friends, the Doctor and Ace were ambushed by {{Ainley}} and the [[Cheetah People]], who had also captured the Doctor's friends. After burying the Master in an avalanche, the Doctor was able to liberate his friends by tricking the Cheetah People into a net. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dr. Seventh (novel)|Dr. Seventh]]'')

Following a chronal trail left by the [[Eleventh Doctor]] as the [[Tenth Doctor]] merged their TARDISes together, the Seventh Doctor joined his other incarnations as they stormed Adam's fortress in [[Limbo]] to save their friends from Adam and the Master. Though the Master attacked them with Autons, [[Frobisher]] was able to free the captured companions, and they helped the Doctors fight off the Autons, as Adam had a change of heart when the Master revealed he intended to use the chronal energies he had stolen across the Doctor's timelines to destroy the universe. After the Master killed Adam as he foiled his plans, the eleven Doctors honoured Adam as a "true companion". ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Endgame (POT comic story)|Endgame]]'')

After seemingly freeing the planet [[Azimuth]] from Dalek occupation, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Daleks Among Us (audio story)|Daleks Among Us]]'') the Doctor and Ace spent [[Christmas]] with the wheelchair-bound [[David Merrison]], whose family had disappeared. Investigating, the Doctor learnt that an alien creature was feeding on David's fear of being taken. Finding the creature's [[skull]], the Doctor destroyed it, killing the creature, and located the Merrison family on a spaceship in another dimension. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[But Once a Year (short story)|But Once a Year]]'')

Taking a break from their adventures, the Doctor and Ace visited [[1645]] [[Chelmsford]] to make repairs to the TARDIS. Saving a young girl called [[Tilly Brewer]] from a gang of witch hunters, they learned she had been infected by the [[Skeeth]], a parasite that transformed its victims into fire breathing beasts. As her transformation completed, the Doctor materialised the TARDIS around her, cutting off her Skeeth infection. Knowing that if she left the TARDIS her Skeeth-self would return, he built a cottage in the woodlands of the TARDIS, allowing her to spend the rest of her life peacefully inside his spaceship. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Devil Like a Bear (short story)|The Devil Like a Bear]]'')

The Doctor took Ace to [[Moscow]] and London in [[1967]], as part of a test to asses her potential to attend the [[Time Lord Academy]], a test that involved the [[Ice Lord]] [[Hhessh]] and his quest to resurrect the legendary Martian warlord [[Sezhyr]]. Ultimately, however, she declined the academic opportunity and continued to travel with the Doctor. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Thin Ice (audio story)|Thin Ice]]'')

Travelling to [[Kar-Charrat]] to return some overdue library books, the Doctor reunited with his old friend, [[Elgin (The Genocide Machine)|Elgin]], who proclaimed to have warded off some Dalek attacks. However, the Daleks had never left, and had used time corridor technology to deploy hidden Dalek pods on every planet in the sector to wait for a time-sensitive to revive them. After a [[Dalek duplicate|duplicate]] of a captured Ace infiltrated the base and successfully downloaded the collective knowledge of the entire universe into a Dalek test subject, who went out of control, the Doctor ventured on to the planet's surface, and discovered that the famous Kar-Charrat ziggurat was a Dalek pod. The Doctor was then forced to surrender to the Daleks to ensure Ace's safety, and was connected to the [[Wetwork]]s so his mind could be used to process the data. While he appeared to be killed in the process to the Daleks, the Doctor's mind was absorbed into the Wetworks, where he made contact with the [[Kar-Charratan]]s, natives enslaved by Elgin in order to enable the Wetworks to function, and promised to set them free.

The TARDIS detected a [[Time distortion|temporal distortion]] on [[Earth]], which threatened to merge the [[1960s]] and the [[1970s]] and generate a [[black hole]]. To find its cause, the Doctor dropped Ace in the 1960s with a tracking device and sent her to make contact with [[Counter-Measures]], while he himself would do the same thing a decade later; he would keep in contact with Ace thanks to the Counter-Measures' team progressively remembering what happened ten years earlier. The two teams, in their respective times, tracked down the source of the distortion back to [[Kazan]] and his [[Rocket Men]]'s hideout, and saw that the cause was "Puncheon", a survivor of a failed experiment in [[time travel]] who had been split in two and dispersed through time. With the help of [[Ian Gilmore]], the Doctor managed to travel back to the 1960s, save Ace from what could have been a fatal fall and reunite the two parts of "Puncheon", thus putting and end to the distortion. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Split Infinitive (audio story)|The Split Infinitive]]'')

=== Trouble with the Timewyrm ===

[[File:Virgin New Adventures TARDIS control room.jpg|thumb|left|Ace and the Doctor in the TARDIS, preparing to land in Mesopotamia. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The New Adventures Prologue (short story)|The New Adventures Prologue]]'')]]

=== The best of friends ===

Visiting [[Smithwood Manor]], the Doctor and Ace defeated a pair of [[Hitcher]]s who had possessed a cat and an elderly woman named Mrs. [[Lacy]]. The pair departed, leaving the sole surviving Hitcher within [[Ella Cooper]] as a form of protection for the house. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Fellow Travellers (comic story)|Fellow Travellers]]'')

Aided by his other incarnations and their companions, the Seventh Doctor and Ace helped [[Dan Dare]] to fight off [[the Mekon]] and his army of [[Treen]]s, [[Dalek]]s, [[Ice Warrior]]s, [[Cybermen]], [[Sontaran]]s and [[Draconian]]s in [[1991]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Comic Relief Comic (comic story)|Comic Relief Comic]]'')

Becoming increasingly concerned about the multitude of alien beings which had recently been drawn to Earth and the TARDIS' own limited scope of travel of late, the Doctor began to suspect that the [[Mandragora Helix]] had survived within the TARDIS, and shared his suspicions with Ace. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Distractions (comic story)|Distractions]]'') Discovering that the TARDIS was physically linked to Earth, he uncovered a plot involving a drug being sold in nightclubs named [[Mandrake]], which the Helix was using to possess users. Defeating the Helix, the Doctor believed he had seen the last of his TARDIS, but was reunited with it just as the Brigadier returned to England to greet him. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Mark of Mandragora (comic story)|The Mark of Mandragora]]'')

Visiting the planet [[Sorsha]], the Doctor and Ace became involved in the efforts of a group of [[Marine]]s towards making use of ancient [[Lom]] technology. After one of the Marines accidentally reactivated "[[the Grief]]", an ancient Lom progenitor device, the visitors were forced to enter into combat against a rapidly multiplying army. Reactivating the planetary shield created by the [[Sorshan]]s, the team's scientist, [[Skrane]], released the Sorshan toxin which had wiped out the Lom thousands of years earlier, giving the Doctor and Ace just enough time to escape. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Grief (comic story)|The Grief]]'')

=== Beginnings as Time's champion ===

While dining at an [[Ealing]] café, the Doctor and Ace were alerted to an incursion on the TARDIS, and returned to find a creature trying to leech of its power, but was stuck between the "inside" and "outside" of the TARDIS. Before the Doctor could find a way to fight off the creature, the TARDIS collided with an experimental [[time vessel]] from ancient Gallifrey, the [[Time Scaphe]], which activated the [[Banshee Circuits]] and caused the TARDIS to reconfigure itself into a multi-dimensional [[city]], which the Doctor called a [[SARDIT]]. The creature, now calling itself "the [[Process]]", attempted to regain the "Future" which the Doctor had "stolen" by attempting to kill him, but failed.

After he set the TARDIS to undergo random reconfigurations, the Doctor discovered that Ace's bedroom had been deleted, concernedly noting that it was likely due to the TARDIS planning ahead. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Cat Litter (comic story)|Cat Litter]]'')

=== Losing Ace ===

Following the funeral of Ace's friend [[Julian Milton]], the Doctor brought the TARDIS to [[2570]] [[Heaven (Love and War)|Heaven]], where the pair became friends with a group called the [[Traveller (Love and War)|Travellers]]. The Doctor then helped Professor [[Bernice Summerfield]] open the way to a [[Heavenite]] observatory, and deciphered writing they found to discover a plot by the [[Hoothi]] to use Heaven to create an army of the dead. Entering [[Puterspace]], the Doctor was attacked by the [[Vacuum Church]], working in league with the Hoothi, and forced to relive the slow death of his [[third incarnation]], until he was freed by [[Christopher (Love and War)|Christopher]], a psychic Traveller.

The Doctor observed [[Sonia Bannen]] being killed in a food riot, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Parasite (novel)|Parasite]]'') and attended the funeral of [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]] with all of his other incarnations. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Gift (ST short story)|The Gift]]'', ''[[Shroud of Sorrow (novel)|Shroud of Sorrow]]'')

Returning to Heaven for Ace, the Doctor found that Ace was disgusted with him for sacrificing Jan, and, refusing to forgive him, stormed off. Bernice, though with some reluctance, agreed to travel with the Doctor in Ace's place, under the condition that he didn't treat her the way he did Ace, and also told him to call her "Benny". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Love and War (novel)|Love and War]]'')

=== First exploits with Benny ===

When Benny asked to see some [[Gallifreyan history]], the Doctor used a 3-D [[Hologram|holo]]-simulation in the TARDIS to show her the day his [[first incarnation]] saved a sphere of living [[Artron energy]] from his old friend [[Magnus (Flashback)|Magnus]], only for his actions to result in the final falling out between the two. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Flashback (comic story)|Flashback]]'')

In search of a [[Fortean Flicker]] somehow related to the legends of [[Sakkrat]] and the [[Highest Science]], the Doctor and Benny arrived on the planet [[Hogsumm]] and, encountering a troop of [[Chelonian]]s who had been transported to the planet by the Flicker, were separated. Whilst Benny discovered a ruined citadel, the Doctor realised that a group of humans had also been drawn to the planet by the Flicker and witnessed the arrival of [[Sheldukher]], an infamous criminal in search of the Highest Science, alongside a genetically engineered super-intellect nicknamed "the [[Cell (The Highest Science)|Cell]]". Taken hostage, the Doctor was forced to reveal his own knowledge of the Science, leading Sheldukher to the citadel where they discovered Benny. Managing to enter the building's inner sanctum, the group discovered that the entire planet had been a trap for Sheldukher, who had stolen the Cell from its creators, who were desperate to regain it. Giving the Cell the death it desired, the Doctor and Benny managed to escape in time to save the humans from being slaughtered by the Chelonians. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Highest Science (novel)|The Highest Science]]'')

=== Ace returns ===

Leaving Ace and Benny to fend off a Charrl invasion of Earth in the early 20th century without him, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Birthright (novel)|Birthright]]'') the Doctor used the TARDIS' [[Jade Pagoda]] to visit early 21st century Earth, meeting a [[reporter]] named [[Ruby Duvall]] during an adventure involving Cybermen at the [[South Pole]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Iceberg (novel)|Iceberg]]'') before the trio were reunited. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Birthright (novel)|Birthright]]'')

Visiting [[1855]] [[Lifton]], the TARDIS trio encountered [[Surcoth (Cuckoo)|a Surcoth]] who was posing as Dr. [[Thomas Gideon]]. The Doctor soon discovered that he was in search of the remains of one of his ancestors, who had crashed on Earth millions of years prior. Despite the fact that he had killed Gideon, the Doctor let him take the remains and leave. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Cuckoo (comic story)|Cuckoo]]'')

=== Struggling with alternate timelines ===

=== Amicable travels ===

Now roaming the universe amicably, the three friends visited many planets, including [[Olleril]], during its annual [[Tragedy Day]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Tragedy Day (novel)|Tragedy Day]]'') and [[Peladon]], whilst tracking [[the Diadem]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Legacy (novel)|Legacy]]'')

The Doctor, Ace, and Bernice visited [[LaMort]], where Benny realised that her house was in a run-down condition and the yard had decaying plants and maggots. The Doctor went in to confront LaMort about not committing [[suicide]], as she had grown bored with all the ways and places that death took place. Bernice, though, managed to convince her not to commit suicide by describing all the planets that humans had brought death to in her time. LaMort dropped the pills she was about to consume, and they transformed into souls that melted away. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Virgin Lands (short story)|Virgin Lands]]'')

The Doctor decided to drop Benny and Ace off at a [[St Matthew's University]], where he wanted to find out more about the [[Library (The Big Blue Book)|library]]. He took a train to [[Kent]] shortly afterwards. After Ace and Benny, who were in disguise as a cleaner and professor, dealt with alien criminals, [[Vassa]] and [[Lycurgus]], the Doctor wanted to know all about their adventure. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Big Blue Book (audio story)|The Big Blue Book]]'')

The Doctor was eventually called by the [[Committee of Three]] to track down [[Agonal]]. He and Ace landed in [[Chicago]], where she and [[Tom Dekker]] started a relationship. When a peace treaty between the mobs went wrong, he, Ace, and Dekker landed on the [[vampire planet]] to pick up Benny and [[Romana II|Romana]], and brought them to Gallifrey. After figuring out Agonal's plans, [[Rassilon]] eventually trapped him in his tomb. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Blood Harvest (novel)|Blood Harvest]]'')

=== Alone with Benny ===

The Doctor and Benny had an encounter with powerful [[Sensopath]]s from the end of time, during which Benny's good friend, [[Darius Cheynor]], died. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Infinite Requiem (novel)|Infinite Requiem]]'')

After an adventure in the [[13th century]] where Benny fell in love with a member of the [[Knights Templar]] named [[Guy de Carnac]], only to lose him in the [[Albigensian Crusade]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Sanctuary (novel)|Sanctuary]]'') the Doctor physically changed himself into a human called [[John Smith (Seventh Doctor)|John Smith]] and lived for a time as such, resulting in him falling in love with a human woman called [[Joan Redfern (novel character)|Joan Redfern]]. However, he sacrificed this persona and his chance of a relationship with Joan in order to stop the [[Aubertide]]s. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Human Nature (novel)|Human Nature]]'')

=== Joined by two Adjudicators ===

[[File:Original Sin Doctor.jpg|thumb|The Doctor encounters Chris and Roz. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Original Sin (novel)|Original Sin]]'')]]

As a result of Kadiatu Lethbridge-Stewart's time travel, the Doctor once again became involved in an adventure involving the Land of Fiction, where he was reunited with both Ace and Mel. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Head Games (novel)|Head Games]]'') After the traumatic events which befell them on [[Detrios]], the Doctor took his companions to the paradise planet of the Worldsphere, returning to Kadiatu three months after he had rescued her. Successfully solving the mystery of an apparent murder, the Doctor was relieved of the duty of killing her when Benny judged her fit for rehabilitation. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Also People (novel)|The Also People]]'')

[[File:The Wedding of Jason Kane and Bernice Summerfield.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor attends the wedding of Jason Kane and Bernice Summerfield. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Happy Endings (novel)|Happy Endings]]'')]]

=== Travelling with Chris and Roz ===

Now one member smaller, the TARDIS crew continued their travels, discovering an ancient Martian weapon known as the [[GodEngine]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[GodEngine (novel)|GodEngine]]'') visiting America in the 20th and 21st centuries ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Christmas on a Rational Planet (novel)|Christmas on a Rational Planet]]'') and reuniting with Benny to aid her in her search for [[Isaac Summerfield]], her father. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Return of the Living Dad (novel)|Return of the Living Dad]]'')

=== Alone with Chris ===

=== Champion's end ===

After returning [[Penelope Gate]] and [[Joel Mintz]] back to their own times, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Room With No Doors (novel)|The Room With No Doors]]'') the Doctor travelled on his own for a while, reuniting with [[Sarah Jane Smith]] in [[Hong Kong]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Bullet Time (novel)|Bullet Time]]'') and [[Ace]] in [[Paris]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Set Piece (novel)|Set Piece]]'') After which, he finally dealt with the Logovore, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Death Sentences (short story)|Death Sentences]]'') delivered [[Edward Woodbourne]]'s letter to [[Mary Woodbourne|his wife]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Never Seen Cairo (short story)|Never Seen Cairo]]'') and convinced [[Melissa (Spookasem)|Melissa]] to reject the Serpent Ride. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Spookasem (short story)|Spookasem]]'')

=== Moving on ===

Instead of heading straight for [[Skaro]], the Doctor, feeling nostalgic, travelled to [[1979]] Paris, where he watched the [[Fourth Doctor]] and [[Romana II|Romana]] do battle with [[Scaroth]], retrieving a sketch of Romana that his fourth incarnation had thrown away while doing so. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Notre Dame du Temps (short story)|Notre Dame du Temps]]'')

=== Old friends reunited ===

Having been informed that Ace had left the Academy to reach Skaro with an [[Omega device]] in an attempt to destroy the [[Dalek]]s, the Doctor tried to contact Benny on [[Arviem 2]], a planet ruled by a scientific dictatorship. As soon as he arrived, however, he was drugged by [[Renk Van Magnastein]], a nightclub’s owner, to whom Benny confided having made up a fake account of the planet’s history, to save an ancient civilisation from being wiped out. Seeing the potential for business if Benny’s lies were true, Renk drugged the Doctor and had him change Arviem 2’s history to suit Benny’s account; he then brought him back to the present, drunk and with no knowledge of what he did. The Doctor and Benny had to work together to try and discover what happened, all while being chased by agents of Arviem 2’s government as dangerous individuals. When they eventually did discover the truth, Benny struck Renk out cold, and the Doctor brought him in the TARDIS to have “a nice little chat” with him, before telling Benny why he contacted her. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Revolution (audio story)|The Revolution]]'')

=== New adventures with Ace ===

The Doctor tasked Ace with preventing time travelling criminal duo [[Harmonious 14 Zink]] and his wife [[1V Magda]] from interfering with established history on the planet [[Erratoon]]. On this mission she encountered, and believed she had befriended, the living [[Core to the Key to Time|Tracer]] who would later go by the name [[Zara (The Judgement of Isskar)|Zara]], but was betrayed by her, losing a great deal of her memories in the process. Seeing that she had been successful, the Doctor arrived to pick her up, intending to restore her memories using the TARDIS. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Prisoner's Dilemma (audio story)|The Prisoner's Dilemma]]'')

=== Hex joins ===

The group went for breakfast on London's South Bank, where they soon discovered that both London and the TARDIS weren't real. Voyaging into the depths of the fake TARDIS, the Doctor found that he and his companions had been entrapped by a vortex predator. They eventually located the real TARDIS and escaped back into the real universe. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast (short story)|Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast]]'')

After arriving on [[Colony 34]], the Doctor discovered a conspiracy involving the government and decided to run for president. The reigning leader was trying to avoid an election for fear of losing, and was using his power to stage terrorist attacks and discredit the parties that stood against him. After faking his own death, Ace and Hex helped the Doctor to expose everything the government had been trying to keep secret, including the deaths of colonists whose bodies were used as fuel. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[LIVE 34 (audio story)|LIVE 34]]'')

Taking Ace into a cabin after she fell into a [[lake]], the TARDIS trio witnessed a series of deaths amongst the group of academics staying there, and discovered that they were experimenting with time with a device they called "the [[Bartholomew transactor]]", so they could send a message back to warn their past selves about misdiagnosing a deceased girl named [[Edie O'Neil]]. However, the interference with the timeline caused Edie to be transformed into a zombie-like state of limbo, and the Doctor realised that the misdiagnosis had never been genuine, and that the whole series of events were part of a time experiment conducted by [[Major]] [[Dickens (Night Thoughts)|Dickens]].

The Doctor, Ace and Hex travelled to the island of [[Mendolovinia]] in [[33]] AD to help solve a code, but fell into a trap laid by [[the Order of Simplicity]]. The Doctor was infected with a virus that drained the intelligence from the [[brain]] to an IQ of forty-five, but managed to use the intellect of the primitives to free himself. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Order of Simplicity (audio story)|Order of Simplicity]]'')

The trio next landed in [[Antarctica]], where they encountered [[Nobody No-One]], a [[Word Lord]] from a dimension made out of language and communication. No-One followed them into a top secret facility and proceeded to cause chaos, until the Doctor captured him inside a book. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Word Lord (audio story)|The Word Lord]]'')

=== Battling the Elder Gods ===

Lured into the [[Celestial Toyroom]], the Doctor, Ace and Hex managed to aid a group of humans in defeating the [[Celestial Toymaker]], trapping him inside a ventriloquist's doll. In order to prevent him from ever resurfacing, the Doctor arranged for Ace and Hex to attend to the running of a mock-up sanatorium where he and the various other guests were kept unaware of their true situation. Despite their best efforts, the Doctor uncovered his own plan and the Toymaker resurfaced and managed to trick the humans into playing against him for their greatest desires in a bid to reassert himself as controller of the Toyroom. However, [[Swapnil Khan]], the final player, managed to trap him in a stalemate, enabling his daughter, [[Queenie Glasscock]], and the three travellers to escape the Toyroom and return to the real world, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Magic Mousetrap (audio story)|The Magic Mousetrap]]'') though the Doctor was now aware of Fenric's impending return, having found a chess set in the sanatorium. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Gods and Monsters (audio story)|Gods and Monsters]]'')

Landing on [[Bliss (planet)|Bliss]], a jungle planet under Dalek attack, the Doctor set out to ensure that an atrocity which was due to be committed in the coming hours would happen. While Ace and Hex aided the base personnel in a battle with the Daleks, the Doctor discovered that [[Toshio Shimura]], a local professor, had combined larvae and [[piranha locust]] [[DNA]] to create a new species called the [[Kiseibya]], created to be the natural predator of the Daleks. But, the Kiseibya, after decimating the Dalek forces, quickly became uncontrollable, and the Doctor planned to blow up the base and slaughter the Kiseibya himself, but [[Beth Stokes]], a former [[prisoner]] of the Daleks, chose to take his place, staying behind to finish the job. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Enemy of the Daleks (audio story)|Enemy of the Daleks]]'')

Arriving in [[2025]], the Doctor managed to successfully perform surgery on Hex, saving his life. Realising that London was under quarantine, he was captured by [[William Abberton|Nimrod]] and [[the Forge]] and forced to find a solution to stop the infection spreading. Nimrod told Hex that. After Cassie was resurrected, the Doctor convinced her to attack Nimrod by telling her of all the important mile stones in Hex's life that Nimrod took from her. The Doctor admitted to Hex that he was extremely proud of him, but Hex, having been told by Nimrod that the Doctor had been witness to his mother's death, decided to depart the TARDIS in anger. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Project Destiny (audio story)|Project: Destiny]]'')

=== Reunited with Mel ===

After the Doctor offered Ace the chance to practice piloting the TARDIS, she inadvertently materialised inside a facility run by the [[Porcian]] [[Chimbly]]. Discovering that they were being manipulated through the use of a captured [[Resurrectionist]], the Doctor tricked Chimbly into firing on the cage apparatus imprisoning it, simultaneously freeing the tortured creature and the race he had enslaved from its psychic control. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[You Are the Doctor (audio story)|You Are the Doctor]]'')

The Doctor landed on [[Prosper]] again, but during a war 100 years later. He was appalled at what had happened in his absence and that the mineral named after him had caused this. He investigated what was happening and discovered that [[Alonso (Maker of Demons)|Alonso]] was also the Mogera leader. Alonso told him that he was practising eugenics to create a perfect colony and to kill the Mogera. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Maker of Demons (audio story)|Maker of Demons]]'')

=== Alone again ===

The Doctor decided to take a long overdue vacation to the planet of [[Ormelia]], and materialised the TARDIS aboard a spaceship orbiting the planet, where he befriended a genetically reconstructed creature named [[Vilgreth]], but discovered that his ship travelled through space by devouring planets, and was forced to stop him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Last of the Titans (audio story)|Last of the Titans]]'')

Arriving in the remains of the [[Drashani Empire]], the Doctor met a mercenary called [[Vienna Salvatori]], who had been hired to capture him for a bounty payment. He soon encountered an old enemy, [[Kylo Sorsha|Tenebris]], who he had discovered was, in fact, Kylo Sorsha, a prince he had left stranded on the planet [[Sharnax]] when he first encountered the Drashani Empire. Sorsha plotted to take revenge against the Doctor for leaving him stranded on Sharnax, but the Doctor defeated him, and departed from the empire. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Shadow Heart (audio story)|The Shadow Heart]]'')

The Doctor defended the Earth from attempted invasions by the [[Quark]]s, [[Cyberman|Cybermen]], [[Mechonoid]]s, [[Voord]], and [[Zarbi]]. When [[Davros]] attempted to claim the Earth for himself, he was also defeated by the Doctor. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Consultation Exercise (short story)|Consultation Exercise]]'')

The Master then left the Doctor to entertain the Gods, which the Doctor did for a while before recalling the TARDIS and fleeing. He then went back to [[Segonax]] and to the Circus, where he and the Master confronted each other on a [[psychic plane]]. The Doctor told the Master that the Gods were only using him, and exploited the Gods' curiosity to buy time to steal the pendant from the Master and pass it to Kingpin. Kingpin then used the pendant to free the Circus from the Master and the Gods' influence. The Doctor then left, leaving the Master at the mercy of the Gods. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Psychic Circus (audio story)|The Psychic Circus]]'')

=== Adventures with Mags ===

=== Resolving old business ===

Sensing his end approaching, the Doctor became afraid that his next incarnation wouldn't be willing to do what needed to be done, and began to put all his affairs in order while he still could, to leave nothing unsung when his time came. To this end, he began to monitor interstellar communications across thousands of worlds, from the wireless communications of a multitude of law enforcement organisations to the private correspondence of governments and the criminal underworlds. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Persuasion (audio story)|Persuasion]]'')

In the end, Death took the Master and, as punishment for not holding up his end of their bargain, sent the Doctor away take the place of an assassin and murder an innocent in cold blood. The Doctor travelled to the destination and encountered a sniper about to take his shot, interrupted him and recounted his story. The Doctor still refused to kill his target, but discovered that the sniper was in fact Death, who had known he wouldn't be able to, and departed while proclaiming to know his inevitable fate. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Master (audio story)|Master]]'')

The Doctor visited [[Valhalla (city)|Valhalla]], the Capital City of [[Callisto]], and became embroiled in a plot by a swarm of evolved [[termite]]s to take over the city and sell its population as [[slave]]s. After thwarting their plan, he offered a maintenance worker named [[Jevvan]] the chance to travel with him, but was turned down. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Valhalla (audio story)|Valhalla]]'')

As his memories began to return, the Doctor commandeered a [[helicopter]] with the expedition's [[physicist]], [[Genevieve Marceau]], and crash-landed near the dig site after the helicopter was hit by [[Ssrongar]]'s sonic cannon. The Doctor reactivated Geldar's distress signal and boosted it to contact a Martian warship from the other side of the galaxy, which bombarded the prison from orbit, destroying Arakssor and the rest of the Ice Warriors. The Doctor and Genevieve fled to the safety of the TARDIS, and returned to the ''[[Fortitude (Frozen Time)|Fortitude]]'' to drop Genevieve off. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Frozen Time (audio story)|Frozen Time]]'')

Whilst waiting for Decay to leave the TARDIS into the vortex, the Doctor was drawn to [[Keldafria]], where he met the Marshall Princesses [[Alison Keldafrian]] and [[Louisa Keldafrian]]. He was given a Blood Flower, which caused problems as he started flitting about in time and experienced time in the wrong order. He realised that there was a time loop around the palace he was in and it had something to do with the Blood Flower, and that it was a prison for one of the princesses. He discovered that there was a being he called [[Henry (Spider's Shadow)|Henry]] who trapped the princesses in the loop to stop their troops killing his people and the Doctor's presence stopped Henry's plan from working. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Spider's Shadow (audio story)|Spider's Shadow]]'')

Under the guise of "Mr. Ashcroft", the Doctor took possession of the surveillance tapes of [[Bianca's]] bar. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Wormery (audio story)|The Wormery]]'')

=== Search for the Persuasion machine ===

Going to the meeting alone, the Doctor discovered that Father was actually [[Davros]], and the two were taken to the Daleks and Schalk, enabling the Doctor to deduce that Klein had travelled in the TARDIS to three weeks before they first arrived in Düsseldorf, discovered that Schalk was her biological father, and that she was engineered to operate the Persuasion machine. At that moment, Klein returned in the TARDIS and, having seemingly reverted to her original counterpart, claimed to be willing to become the tool for the Persuasion machine. A man called [[Falkus (Daleks Among Us)|Falkus]] then entered the room and, revealing himself as Davros's "son", ordered the Daleks to exterminate Schalk, but Klein forced the Daleks and Falkus to die with the power of the machine. Will returned with the Shepherd, who threatened to kill them all, but Klein used the power of the machine to kill the Shepherd, dying in the process.

=== Nearing the end ===

Tracking strange gaps in reality, the Doctor was shocked to meet an apparent past version of the Master, who saved him from the [[Rocket Men]] in return for the Doctor's aid in fighting another version of himself. Accompanied by new temporary companion [[Jemima (The Two Masters)|Jemima]], the Doctor took the Master to confront his future self, but soon determined that the two Masters were actually in each other's bodies. After the Masters were persuaded to return to their own bodies, they killed Jemima and abandoned the Doctor by stealing his own TARDIS as the universe continued to collapse, but the Doctor was able to acquire the Master's abandoned TARDIS and track them to the [[Anomaly cage]], created by the [[Cult of the Heretic]], who had created this crisis to try and unmake existence. Using weapons stolen from the Masters, the Doctor was able to use the Cult's equipment to restore the universe, return the Masters to their points of origin, and save Jemima from the Rocket Men. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Two Masters (audio story)|The Two Masters]]'')

Following a devastating incident, the Doctor decided to travel alone when he realised he couldn't trust himself with another life while serving the "greater good". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Resurrection of Mars (audio story)|The Resurrection of Mars]]'') Becoming weary of his solitude, the Doctor decided to create a robotic companion, which he named [[Catherine Broome]]. The duo travelled together for a while, facing the Cybermen and [[Gelsat creatures]] whilst the Doctor allowed Cat to believe that she was from the 20th century. Arriving on [[Haven (planet)|Haven]] in the [[28th century]], the Doctor revealed Cat's true nature to her in time to avert a catastrophe on a spaceship. In order to prevent the destruction of the ship, and the deaths of many colonists, Cat travelled through hazardous corridors to the control to save the lives of hundreds. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Companion Piece (novel)|Companion Piece]]'')

Along with seven other incarnations, the Seventh Doctor became trapped in [[the Void]] when it began to attack and devour the universe. He and the others were able to form a [[dimensional bridge]] to allow the [[Eighth Doctor]] to escape, and were then joined by the [[War Doctor]], followed shortly by the [[Ninth Doctor|ninth]], [[Tenth Doctor|tenth]] and [[twelfth incarnation]]s, who ventured into the [[Type 1]] TARDIS responsible for the disturbance. Forming a plan with the trapped [[Eleventh Doctor]], the Doctors joined their TARDISes to pacify the Type 1 into a peaceful state and return the universe to normal. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Lost Dimension (comic story)|The Lost Dimension]]'')

=== Retrieving the Master's ashes ===

[[File:Seven sees the Master has escaped.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor discovers that the Master's casket is empty. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'')]]

The Doctor travelled to Skaro, at a point in time before the [[Hand of Omega]] apparently destroyed it, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[War of the Daleks (novel)|War of the Daleks]]'') and somehow claimed the Master's ashes from the Daleks. However, en route to Gallifrey, ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') while the Doctor was lost in his thoughts, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[This is My Life (short story)|This is My Life]]'') the Master escaped from his casket in the form of a [[Deathworm Morphant]] and damaged the inner workings of the TARDIS console, forcing the TARDIS to make an emergency landing in [[San Francisco]] on [[30 December]] [[1999]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') Needing to find his bearings to figure out how to expurgate the Master from his ship and to find an [[atomic clock]] to repair the time mechanism, the Doctor left the TARDIS without properly checking his surroundings, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Novel of the Film (novelisation)|The Novel of the Film]]'') and was caught in the middle of a gang shootout, getting himself shot once through the shoulder and twice in the leg. Before falling unconscious, the Doctor saw the Master exiting the TARDIS in liquid form, and tried to warn a survivor of the shootout who came to his aid, [[Chang Lee]], to stop him, but Lee could make no sense of the Doctor's warning. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'')

{{Quote|I've got to stop... him...|The Seventh Doctor's last words|Doctor Who (TV story)}}

Lee hailed an [[ambulance]], and the Doctor was taken to [[Walker General Hospital]], where the bullets were found to have caused only minor injuries and removed. However, the medical team assumed that he was fibrillating and that the [[X-ray]]s showing his two hearts were a double exposure, and [[cardiology|Cardiologist]] Doctor [[Grace Holloway]] was called to undertake exploratory surgery to "fix" his abnormal heartbeat. The Doctor woke up just as Holloway began the surgery, and tried to stop her operating on him by explaining his non-terrestrial origins, but Holloway and the surgeons believed him to be acting irrational due to the pain and quickly put him under [[anaesthetic]]. Shaking off the effects to give one last warning about the Master, the Doctor was rendered unconsciousness. Holloway quickly became lost in the Doctor's cardiovascular system, and he began to flatline when she damaged his circulatory system with her probe. Though the team attempted to revive him, their attempts only allowed to Doctor to awaken briefly, and he was pronounced dead after he let out a final scream.

Unlike his previous deaths, this regeneration did not begin promptly; his successor attributed his delayed regeneration to having been under anaesthesia at the time. The hospital staff locked the Doctor's dead body inside a cold chamber, with a "John Doe" toe tag attached and a sheet placed over his body. Several hours later, within the hospital morgue, the Doctor's corpse contorted and crackled with electrical energies as the regeneration process began, giving him new life in the form of [[Eighth Doctor|his eighth incarnation]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'')

When the Eighth Doctor was possessed by [[Zagreus]] and stabbed by [[Charley Pollard]], he met the mental manifestations of his fifth, sixth and seventh incarnations in his mind when he nearly allowed himself to die, subsequently rallying himself with their aid to restore himself and retake control of the anti-time energies. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Zagreus (audio story)|Zagreus]]'')

[[File:Sin-Eaters (comic story).jpg|thumb|left|The Seventh Doctor tries to emerge from a [[Sin-Eater]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Sin-Eaters (comic story)|Sin-Eaters]]'')]]

When the Eleventh Doctor entered into the [[T'keyn Nexus]] in order to defend himself, Matrix projections of his previous incarnations, including the Seventh Doctor, appeared inside it to defend themselves as well. After the [[Sixth Doctor]] denied [[Es'Cartrss|auditor Sondrah]]'s accusation of being a meddler, the Seventh Doctor admitted to have meddled "just a little" in the Earth's affairs. When Sondrah tried to turn this against the Doctor by pointing out the destruction of [[Skaro]], the Seventh Doctor denied responsibility, citing that the Daleks had destroyed it with their "greed and arrogance", and that he had only provided them with means. When the Eleventh Doctor began to deduce Sondrah's true identity, the past Doctors faded away as [[Oscar Wilde]] interfered with the Nexus. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Dead Man's Hand (comic story)|Dead Man's Hand]]'')

After saving [[Gallifrey]] from [[the Moment]] at the conclusion of the [[Last Great Time War]], the Eleventh Doctor dreamed of himself standing with all his past incarnation, including the Seventh Doctor, as he thought about his search for Gallifrey. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'')

When he was exposed to energy from a [[time storm]], the [[Twelfth Doctor]] degenerated through all of his previous incarnations, including the Seventh Doctor. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Lost Magic (audio story)|The Lost Magic]]'')

=== Undated adventures ===

* The Seventh Doctor, Ace and [[Adrienne Kramer]] saved [[Washington, D.C.]] from disappearing up a [[time rift]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Vampire Science (novel)|Vampire Science]]'')

* The Seventh Doctor encountered [[Faction Paradox]] "twice within a couple of decades". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Alien Bodies (novel)|Alien Bodies]]'')

* [[River Song]] met the Seventh Doctor, calling him "surprisingly Scottish". She had his memory wiped with [[mnemosine recall-wipe vapour]] so the timeline would remain intact. ([[GAME]]: ''[[The Eternity Clock (video game)|The Eternity Clock]]'')

* The [[Twelfth Doctor]] implied that his "[[spoon]] playing" seventh incarnation collaborated with [[Hattie Munroe]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Beneath the Waves (comic story)|Beneath the Waves]]'')

* On a Thursday in the summer of 1966, the Seventh Doctor visited [[Andy Warhol]] to have his face added to a portrait of eleven incarnations of the Doctor.

* When they were trapped on a prison planet run by "giant, mechanical [[prawn]]s", the Seventh Doctor told [[Ace]] that he missed [[Sarah Jane Smith]]. ([[WC]]: ''[[Farewell, Sarah Jane (webcast)|Farewell, Sarah Jane]]'')

* The Seventh Doctor visited [[Daughter of Mine]] during her imprisonment in the [[mirror]]s. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Shadow of a Doubt (audio story)|Shadow of a Doubt]]'')

In an [[alternative timeline]], the Doctor was able to save [[Jan Rydd]] and his fellow Travellers on Heaven in 2570, and, in another alternative timeline, was beheaded by an [[Ice Warrior]] on [[Peladon]] in [[3985]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[So Vile a Sin (novel)|So Vile a Sin]]'')

In one alternative timeline, the Doctor and Ace were captured in [[Colditz Castle]] in [[October]] [[1944]]. When they tried to escape, Ace was killed, and left behind her walkman. This provided the [[Nazi]]s with laser technology, which they exploited to win the [[Second World War]]. Immediately afterwards, the Doctor returned to [[Germany]] in [[1955]], where he was shot by Nazi soldiers. He later regenerated into [[Johann Schmidt|an alternative version]] of his [[eighth incarnation]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Colditz (audio story)|Colditz]]'', ''[[Klein's Story (audio story)|Klein's Story]]'')

In a timeline where [[Elizabeth Klein]] used the Doctor's TARDIS to rewrite history so that the Nazis won the war, and helped the [[Galactic Reich]] conquer potential threats by travelling back in time to give them forewarning, the Doctor, who remembered the correct timeline, was captured and imprisoned on [[the Moon]], but managed to secretly contact the [[Selachian]]s and supplied them with the necessary technology to destroy the [[Moonbase (The Architects of History)|Moonbase]]. When Klein came to visit the Doctor to find out where his TARDIS was, the Selachians attacked the base. The Doctor and Klein escaped in the TARDIS, where the Doctor informed her that the Time Lords had tried her and found her guilty, and she was erased from history, along with the alternate Doctor, restoring things to their correct order. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Architects of History (audio story)|The Architects of History]]'')
