"[[Seventh Doctor|Doctor Seven]]" showed great promise as a strategist, using intense cunning, guile and plotting to outmaneuver his greatest foes.

"[[Ninth Doctor|Number Nine]]" was another with a sense of fire and rage, who started with a strong military focus and a flair for smiting species, but soon gave way to an affection for [[Rose Tyler|a yellow-headed Earth boy]] which squandered his promise. He engaged in yet another "inter-[[species]] [[kiss|mouth-to-mouth interface]]". | "[[Ninth Doctor|Number Nine]]" was another with a sense of fire and rage, who started with a strong military focus and a flair for smiting species, but soon gave way to an affection for [[Rose Tyler|a yellow-headed Earth boy]] which squandered his promise.

This Doctor met [[Tenth Sontaran Battle Fleet|Strax's clone batch]] in an encounter that Strax finds both insolent and infuriating. He took great satisfaction in seeing his death. | ||

* Unlike previous Strax Field Reports, this instalment was only made available for viewing in the UK, likely due to the use of footage from previous episodes.

* The numbers in Strax's field report 11/13 seem to indicate the Eleventh Doctor out of thirteen incarnations, not regarding the displacement in number caused by the War Doctor and [[Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor]], or refers to the number in a literal sense, being his self-designated name as "Eleven", and "13" being that he is the last of his regeneration cycle. "TCX" appears to be a way of saying "This coming Xmas", referring to the airing of ''The Time of the Doctor'' on Christmas. | * The numbers in Strax's field report 11/13 seem to indicate the Eleventh Doctor out of thirteen incarnations, not regarding the displacement in number caused by the War Doctor and [[Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor]], or refers to the number in a literal sense, being his self-designated name as "Eleven", and "13" being that he is the last of his regeneration cycle.

* The later cinema screening of the [[Series 8 (Doctor Who)|Series 8]] premiere, ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'', included an introduction similar in format to this Strax Field Report, also featuring Strax's fellow [[Paternoster Gang]] members [[Vastra]] and [[Jenny Flint]], where Strax humorously recounts the first twelve incarnations of [[the Doctor]] to Sontar, making note of the [[War Doctor]] as well as the [[Tenth Doctor]]'s aborted regeneration, before alerting them to the appearance of [[Twelfth Doctor|the new Doctor]]. | * The later cinema screening of the [[Series 8 (Doctor Who 2005)|Series 8]] premiere, ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'', included an introduction similar in format to this Strax Field Report, also featuring Strax's fellow [[Paternoster Gang]] members [[Vastra]] and [[Jenny Flint]], where Strax humorously recounts the first twelve incarnations of [[the Doctor]] to Sontar, making note of the [[War Doctor]] as well as the [[Tenth Doctor]]'s aborted regeneration, before alerting them to the appearance of [[Twelfth Doctor|the new Doctor]]. | ||
* Strax's comment about the [[Sixth Doctor]] perishing from a bump on his cranium refers back to a long-standing myth and misconception-turned-in-joke that the Sixth Doctor was killed by hitting his head on the TARDIS console, as [[Colin Baker]] was ejected from the role unceremoniously and declined to film his regeneration on-screen. Viewers were left to draw their own conclusions, and this became the popular assumption. His real cause of regeneration was explored in the 2005 novel ''[[Spiral Scratch]]'' and in the [[2015 (releases)|2015]] audio anthology ''[[The Sixth Doctor: The Last Adventure]]'', specifically the final story of the anthology, ''[[The Brink of Death (audio story)|The Brink of Death]]''. | * Strax's comment about the [[Sixth Doctor]] perishing from a bump on his cranium refers back to a long-standing myth and misconception-turned-in-joke that the Sixth Doctor was killed by hitting his head on the TARDIS console, as [[Colin Baker]] was ejected from the role unceremoniously and declined to film his regeneration on-screen.
