}}{{doctors}}The '''Third Doctor''' was [[Exile on Earth|exiled by the Time Lords]] on [[Earth]] for a significant period of his life. The technological limits of the time period often made him frustrated and bitter. However, he retained his endearing compassion toward [[human]] [[companion]]s. Authoritative and rebellious at the same time, he was quick to demand action just as much as he felt compelled to take action himself. If unsatisfied with someone's handling of a situation, this incarnation would step in forcefully and take charge, especially if they seemed aggressive and undiplomatic. At times, he could become argumentative and needed to be defused in order to establish fluid communication with his associates, but when cheerful, could be quite humble and sociable, with a few humorous anecdotes thrown in for good measure.

<!--For the introduction brief, avoid using story links, as this paragraph is a reflection of how the Doctor lived their life, and thus covers a wider range than goes beyond a single story entry.-->
Forced into an [[exile on Earth]] in the [[20th century]] by the [[Time Lord]]s, with his TARDIS rendered inoperable, the '''Third Doctor''' was a distinguished man of high class and gadgetry, often tinkering away with contraptions or working on his prized car, [[Bessie]], when he was not assisting [[Brigadier]] [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]] and his [[UNIT]] troops Sergeant [[John Benton]] and Captain [[Mike Yates]] in their fight against invading aliens, working with them as their [[scientific advisor]], initially alongside Dr. [[Liz Shaw]], until she decided to return to the [[University of Cambridge]] to pursue her own work. The Doctor often took exception to the Brigadier's military approach, especially concerning the outcome of the [[Wenley Moor Affair]], just as the Brigadier was frequently irritated by the Doctor's air of superiority and seeming disregard for authority, but they ultimately developed an easy mutual trust and strong friendship.  
 
Following Liz's departure, the Doctor was given a new assistant named [[Jo Grant]], who was as bubbly as she was unscientifically trained, but he developed a great fondness for her. No sooner had Jo arrived that the Third Doctor became entangled in an ongoing battle of wits against [[The Master (Terror of the Autons)|the Master]], who also became stranded on Earth when the Doctor stole the [[dematerialisation circuit]] from [[the Master's TARDIS]] in an attempt to fix his own, until he was forced to return it during the [[Stangmoor Incident]]. However, the Master's attempt to ally with [[Axos]] forced him to ally with the Doctor, allowing him to trick his two foes into partially repairing his TARDIS, though with him stuck as a "galactic yo-yo" that would always have to return to his exile.  
 
After the Master was finally arrested by UNIT following his failure to ally with the [[Dæmon]] [[Azal]] at [[Devil's End]], the Doctor found himself pushing the limits of exile as he travelled to [[Alternate timeline (Day of the Daleks)|an alternate future]] ruled by [[Dalek]]s, visited [[Peladon]] for the first time, and was even recruited by the Time Lords for a mission on [[30th century]] [[Solos]]. After the Master escaped his imprisonment with aid from the [[Sea Devil]]s, the Doctor and Jo ended up chasing him to Ancient [[Atlantis]], where they stopped him harnessing the power of [[Kronos]] the [[Chronovore]], though the Doctor allowed him to escape.
 
The Doctor's exile finally came to an end when the Time Lords united him with his [[First Doctor|first]] and [[second incarnation]]s in the [[First Omega Crisis]], with the Doctors' defeat of [[Omega]] in the [[anti-matter universe]] being rewarded with the Time Lords restoring the TARDIS to full working order. The Doctor tried to celebrate his new freedom by taking Jo to [[Metebelis III]], but they ended up getting side-tracked by misadventures like the Daleks' [[Spiridon campaign]]. Eventually, Jo became homesick, and a return trip to Earth saw her leave the TARDIS to marry scientist [[Clifford Jones]] after meeting him at [[Llanfairfach]] while the Doctor was on Metebelis III. The Doctor gave her a [[Metebelis crystal]] as a wedding gift.


His foremost archenemy was {{Delgado}}, a result of the Time Lord's fiendish desire to destroy the life on the planet of his exile, but almost in a recreational sense. Even though he was villainous, the Doctor treated their relationship as a friendly rivalry, often thrilled to face him in a battle of wits, while the Master reflected an equally casual approach back at him. However, he was also determined to rehabilitate the Master, who he once knew as a benevolent familiar before he fell astray. Though the Master sometimes teamed up with the Doctor to deal with foes who threatened them, he always bent to dark and malicious desires, which kept their mutual antagonism alive.
The Doctor would then adventure alone for some time, until he met journalist [[Sarah Jane Smith]] while saving UNIT associated scientists kidnapped to the [[13th century]] by the [[Sontaran]] [[Linx]]. While she first tried to leave his company due to initially being an accidental stowaway, her aid to him during [[Operation Golden Age]], which saw Yates betray UNIT due to his political beliefs, encouraged them to continue to travel together, visiting planets such as [[Exxilon]], [[Florana]] and Peladon.  


This Doctor worked for [[UNIT]] as their unpaid scientific advisor. He remained in their service even after his exile was ended. Unlike his earlier incarnations, he was eager to engage others physically. He also cut a more dashing figure.
However, the Doctor's adventures came to an end when the Metebelis crystal was returned to him, heralding an invasion by the [[Eight Legs]] of Metebelis III to reclaim the crystal. With the aid of Sarah and a repentant Yates, the Doctor was encouraged by [[K'anpo|his childhood mentor]] to face the Eight Legs' [[The Great One (Planet of the Spiders)|Great One]] in the caves of Metebelis III to thwart their invasion, where he received a lethal dose of radiation as he escaped the cave's destruction in the TARDIS. The Doctor would be stuck wandering around the Time Vortex until the TARDIS "brought [him] home" to UNIT, where he managed to [[Regeneration|regenerate]] into [[Fourth Doctor|a younger body]].


In the field, the Doctor was aided by Sergeant [[John Benton]], Captain [[Mike Yates|Michael Yates]] and most notably [[the Brigadier|Brigadier Alastair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]]. The Doctor did not get along well with the Brig at first, but they ultimately developed an easy mutual trust and became good friends.
== Biography ==
=== A day to come ===
<!--This section is 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.-->{{Section stub|Info from ''[[The Final Beginning (audio story)|The Final Beginning]]'' and ''[[The Green Man (BF audio story)|The Green Man]]'' need to be added.}}


He was initially assisted in the laboratory by [[Liz Shaw|Dr. Elizabeth Shaw]]. A capable scientist in her own right, she left to pursue her own work. She noted that all the Doctor needed in an assistant was someone to pass him his test tubes and tell him how brilliant he was.
The [[First Doctor]] would occasionally have premonitions of his future incarnations, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|A Big Hand for the Doctor (short story)}}) and there was a rumour that he was able to glimpse his first seven regenerations during a game of [[Eighth Man Bound]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Christmas on a Rational Planet (novel)}}, {{cs|Lungbarrow (novel)}})


After Liz left, the Doctor was given a new assistant, [[Jo Grant]]. She was bubblier and had less scientific training. The Doctor found her a most useful companion in his adventures during and after his exile. Jo got in trouble easily, however, and the Doctor became protective of her. She left UNIT to marry [[Clifford Jones]].
After returning from his role in the Omega crisis, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Three Doctors (TV story)}}) the First Doctor retained a vague recollection of having met "a dandy and a clown" while he was away. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Empire of Glass (novel)}}) When the First Doctor learned that he was diverted from the [[South Pole]] by "[[Dalek|forces from the future]]" to stop him from becoming [[War Doctor|an incarnation]] that would play a key role in [[Last Great Time War|a future conflict]], he was informed by [[The Player (The Plague of Dreams)|the Player]] that the incarnation in the conflict would not be his second or third incarnations. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Plague of Dreams (audio story)}}) Shortly before his regeneration, the First Doctor was told of "a few false starts" before he became the [[Twelfth Doctor]], and was shown footage of the Third Doctor, as well as his ten other successors, by the [[Testimony]] when he expressed doubt over the Twelfth Doctor's identity. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Twice Upon a Time (TV story)}})


In his final year with UNIT, the Doctor was joined by inquisitive newswoman [[Sarah Jane Smith]]. They travelled widely in time and space, even visiting [[Peladon]] again. He found her journalistic skills useful in their travels, but he often had to save her.
After being shot through the head, and injured during the subsequent fall off a walkway, the [[Second Doctor]] began to regenerate, but the process was halted by the [[Shiner]] tissue injected into him by the [[SILOET]] doctors, causing him to enter a six-month coma to heal his body without regenerating. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Indestructible Man (novel)}}) After teaming up with his third incarnation against [[Omega]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Three Doctors (TV story)}}) the Second Doctor recalled how he "[met] [him]self with another face," ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Goodbyes (short story)}}) and how his "replacement" was "unpromising," ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Five Doctors (TV story)}}) as well as that he had promised to replace [[The Doctor's recorder|his recorder]]. ([[WC]]: {{cs|Doctors Assemble! (webcast)}})


The Third Doctor [[Regeneration|regenerated]] after being exposed to large amounts of [[radiation]] during his efforts to stop the [[Eight Legs]] of [[Metebelis III]] and succumbing to ten years of radiation poisoning while lost in the [[time vortex]].
After his struggle with the [[War Lord]]s, the Second Doctor was sentenced by the [[Time Lord]]s to a forced [[regeneration]] and [[Exile on Earth]] in the [[20th century]] Time Zone, where he would be allowed to help protect the [[Earth]], with his knowledge of [[TARDIS]] operation blocked. Though he was given the chance to pick his next appearance, the Doctor rejected all three of his options, so the Time Lords decided to pick for him. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The War Games (TV story)}}) However, the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]] interceded with the sentence, turning the Doctor into their "hired gun." ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|World Game (novel)}}) Eventually, the Doctor's sentence of exile to Earth was enforced, ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Action in Exile (comic story)}}) but he was able to escape before the Time Lords could enforce a regeneration. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Night Walkers (comic story)}})


== Biography ==
=== Post-regeneration ===
=== Premature introduction ===
{{Main|Second Doctor's change of appearance}}
The Second Doctor nearly regenerated after being shot in the head when confronted by guards on Skybase, causing damage to his skull and frontal lobe. The subsequent fall broke his nose, jaw, right femur, and collarbone, and caused some spine damage. However, an injection of Shiner DNA delayed the regeneration and kept him alive long enough for his body to go into a six-month healing coma to recover on its own. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Indestructible Man]]'')
[[File:Third Doctor's exile begins.jpg|thumb|left|The Third Doctor stumbles out of [[The Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] after an imposed second regeneration. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Spearhead from Space (TV story)}})]]
After being caught in a Time Lord trap that resulted in an enforced regeneration in his TARDIS, ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Night Walkers (comic story)}}) the freshly regenerated Doctor collapsed outside his TARDIS on [[20th century]] Earth, near a [[UNIT]] patrol. He was taken to a hospital unconscious, where he suffered numerous moments of consciousness before falling unconscious again. Escaping from the hospital by appropriating an ornate outfit and commandeering a sporty antique roadster, the Doctor made his way to [[UNIT HQ]] to see Brigadier [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]].
 
However, he was uneasy about the Brigadier since their last meeting and eager to reclaim his TARDIS key to escape the planet. However, the Doctor found not only that his knowledge on how to operate the TARDIS had been blocked, but also that the dematerialisation codes had been changed. Learning that, when he arrived on Earth, a swarm of power units for a non-physical alien intelligence known as the [[Nestene Consciousness]] had been uncovered, and that the Nestene Consciousness had an affinity for [[plastic]] and planned to replace key government and public figures with animated humanoid facsimiles called [[Auton]]s, the Doctor agreed to work for UNIT for the time being.
 
With the help of Dr. [[Liz Shaw]], the Doctor created a device to stop the Autons. The Brigadier feared that the Nestenes would return, and asked for the Doctor's continued assistance. The Doctor agreed to join UNIT as their [[scientific advisor]], using the identity of Dr. John Smith, in exchange for facilities to repair the TARDIS. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Spearhead from Space (TV story)}})
 
The Brigadier gave the Doctor ownership of a bedroom in UNIT HQ, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Qualia (short story)}}) and the Doctor was also put on the UNIT payroll, but he rarely cashed his pay cheques, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|No Future (novel)}}) with the [[Twelfth Doctor]] seemingly being oblivious to his payments. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Death in Heaven (TV story)}}) As payment for his work for UNIT, the Doctor began to ask for pieces of technology to be used in repairing his TARDIS, ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Multi-Mobile (comic story)}}; [[PROSE]]: {{cs|Three Wise Men (short story)}}) as he had discovered that the human race had managed to discover and catalogue a considerable amount of alien technology in the last century, although they lacked the understanding of what most of that alien technology was capable of actually doing. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Three Wise Men (short story)}}) He named his car "[[Bessie]]" after an old friend. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Mission (audio story)}})
 
Despite these accommodations, the Doctor harboured great resentment at the Time Lords for having triggered his regeneration, bitterly suspecting that he had been forced to change so that he would grow to like his cage. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Heralds of Destruction (comic story)}})
 
=== UNIT career begins ===
[[File:Arkwood Parrots.jpg|thumb|left|Enraged [[parrot]]s loose at a [[Zoo (The Arkwood Experiments)|zoo]] swoop around the Brigadier and the Doctor. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Arkwood Experiments (comic story)}})]]
The Brigadier took the Doctor to an investigation on an oddly situated [[Zoo (The Arkwood Experiments)|zoo]], where they were informed and shown that the more dangerous of the animals were acting docile and domesticated while the animals known to be personable and friendly were acting violent and rambunctious. Discovering that these symptoms had started during a school field trip to the park, the Doctor deduced that one of the students at [[Arkwood Private School]] had to be behind this. Travelling to the school, the Doctor and the Brigadier discovered that [[Thompson (The Arkwood Experiments)|at least one student]] had already suffered the same symptoms. Soon, the entire school had been contaminated and the students prepared to attack the local town. While the Brigadier and the school's Headmasters tried and failed to stop the students at the school entrance, the Doctor formulated a chemical antidote and cured the students, as [[Cedric Mathews|the student behind the incident]] was sent to a detention centre. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Arkwood Experiments (comic story)}})
 
The Doctor encountered three foreign agents who had stolen an advanced [[Multi-Mobile]] to attack the [[British Nuclear Defence Control Centre]]. The Doctor stopped them by putting [[sugar]] cubes in the petrol tank. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Multi-Mobile (comic story)}}) The next threat he faced were large [[insect]]s, including [[caterpillar]]s and [[ant]]s. He discovered [[insecticide]] had been badly mixed and created an antidote to return the insects to their normal size. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Insect (comic story)}})
 
After he successfully resisted attempts to extract his memories by an alien [[Extractor]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Mind Extractors (short story)}}) the Doctor investigated mysterious power losses and strange lights in the sky near [[Grestonspey]] and discovered that they were being caused by the alien [[Zeld]] and their [[Proto]] servants. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Ghouls of Grestonspey (short story)}}) He later tracked down stolen samples of [[dust]] from the planet [[Sequiz]], which transformed into an alien creature when scientist Dr [[Rossi]] exposed it [[ultraviolet]] light. The creature returned to its home after the Doctor battled it. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Caught in the Web (short story)}})


=== Exile ===
The Doctor discovered that a [[sentient virus]] had arrived on Earth and had begun taking control of UNIT personnel. He freed them with a [[x-ray]] machine, and then destroyed the virus with a disinfectant. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Invaders Invisible (short story)}}) He later investigated [[Sayle College]] and discovered that the inhabitants of a [[dark planet]] were planning to bring the teachers and students to their world and perpetuate their civilisation. A fire burned down the college, but the Doctor suspected that the aliens might try again. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Dark Planet (short story)}})
[[File:Third Doctor's exile begins.jpg|thumb|left|The Third Doctor stumbles out of his [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] after an imposed regeneration and exile. ([[TV]]: ''[[Spearhead from Space]]'')]]
After his struggle with the [[War Lord]]s, the [[Second Doctor]] was sentenced by the [[Time Lord]]s to a forced [[regeneration]] and [[Exile on Earth|exile]] on [[Earth]] in the [[20th century]]. There, he would be allowed to help protect that world. ([[TV]]: ''[[The War Games]]'') His knowledge of [[TARDIS]] operation was blocked. When his regeneration was done, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Night Walkers]]'') the Doctor collapsed outside his TARDIS on [[20th century]] Earth, near a [[Unified Intelligence Taskforce|UNIT]] patrol. He was taken to a hospital unconscious, where he suffered numerous moments of consciousness--then fell unconscious once again.


When the Doctor arrived, a swarm of power units for a non-physical alien intelligence known as the [[Nestene Consciousness]] were uncovered. Normally disembodied, the Nestene Consciousness had an affinity for [[plastic]], and could animate humanoid facsimiles called [[Auton]]s. The Nestene Consciousness took over [[Auto Plastics]], a factory in London. It planned to replace key government and public figures with Auton duplicates. The Doctor was brought to UNIT HQ by Brigadier [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]]. He was uneasy about the Brigadier since their last meeting and eager to reclaim his TARDIS key to escape the planet. However, the Doctor found not only that his knowledge on how to operate the TARDIS had been blocked, but also that the dematerialisation codes had been changed.
The Doctor investigated mysterious earth tremors in a system of underground caverns and discovered that [[cave insect]]s had mutated into giants. He was nearly captured and fed to their young before escaping, badly frightened and grateful that UNIT would destroy the creatures with [[cyanide]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Caverns of Horror (short story)}}) He later picked up a [[distress call]] on his [[sub-space radio]] from [[Antar]], a world in a sub-atomic universe. His attempt to rescue the [[Antarian]]s failed, as they had been nearly wiped out by the [[Valeron]]s. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|A Universe Called Fred (short story)}}) The Doctor investigated reports of rusting metal, finding it was from a meteorite that had crashed nearby. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Metal Eaters (comic story)}})


[[File:Three Bound by Auton Leader.jpg|thumb|The [[Nestene]] leader tries to strangle the Doctor. ([[TV]]: ''[[Spearhead from Space]]'')]]
The Doctor and Liz went to [[Stegmoor]] when [[Daniel Gregson]] saw a [[Voord spaceship]] crash, but, because of its camouflage, the Doctor was unable to find the ship. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Beachhead (audio story)}})
With the help of [[Liz Shaw|Dr. Elisabeth Shaw]], the Doctor created a device to stop the Autons. The Brigadier feared the Nestenes might return and asked for the Doctor's continued assistance. The Doctor agreed to join UNIT as their [[scientific advisor]] in exchange for facilities to repair the TARDIS, similar clothes to the ornate outfit he had appropriated during the incident, and a car like the sporty antique roadster he had commandeered during the incident. Liz stayed on as his assistant. ([[TV]]: ''[[Spearhead from Space]]'')

[[File:Stop for Dr. Who's autograph.jpg|thumb|Dr. Who may have given the [[TV Terrors]] his [[autograph]]. ([[GAME]]: {{cs|TV Terrors Autograph Hunt (game)}})]]The Doctor was captured by aliens who wanted to kill him so he would not impede their invasion of [[Earth]], but he defeated them with a [[laser]] in his [[cane]], ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Assassin from Space (comic story)}}) and then infiltrated the base of foreign agents who had stolen UNIT technology, using his [[obedience spray]] to retrieve it. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Undercover (comic story)}}) At some point, the [[TV Terrors]] may have stopped to get his [[autograph]], ([[GAME]]: {{cs|TV Terrors Autograph Hunt (game)}}) having previous [[hunted]] for [[First Doctor|his first incarnation]]'s.

[[File:Arkwood Parrots.jpg|thumb|left|Enraged parrots loose at a zoo swoop around the Brigadier and the Doctor. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Arkwood Experiments]]'')]]
The Doctor and the Brigadier went to a [[zoo]] where the usually placid animals attacked visitors. A student named [[Cedric Mathews]] had created a "change" potion to enrage the animals. He later dosed his fellow students at [[Arkwood Private School]] as well. However, the Doctor created an antidote to cure the students, and Mathews was sent to a detention center. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Arkwood Experiments]]'')


The Doctor encountered three foreign agents who had stolen an advanced [[Multi-Mobile]] to attack the [[British Nuclear Defence Control Centre]]. The Doctor stopped them by putting [[sugar]] cubes in the petrol tank. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Multi-Mobile]]'')
Summoned by the Brigadier to an underground research centre on [[Wenley Moor]], the Doctor and Liz met [[Silurian]]s, a species who had gone into hibernation millions of years earlier, revived by power from the research centre. The Doctor strove for peace between the reptiles and humans and gained the trust of the [[Okdel L'da|Silurian leader]]. However, a rebellious and intolerant [[Morka|young Silurian]] killed his leader and released a deadly [[Silurian virus|virus]] that threatened to wipe out humanity.


The next threat he faced was large [[insect]]s, including [[caterpillar]]s and [[ant]]s. He discovered [[insecticide]] had been badly mixed and created an antidote to return the insects to their normal size. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Insect (comic story)|Insect]]'')
The Doctor and Liz found an antidote, but the Silurians retaliated by taking over the research centre. They planned to destroy the Van Allen Belt, a natural barrier shielding the Earth from solar radiation harmful to humans, but beneficial to reptiles. The Silurians had to return to their caves when the Doctor overloaded the reactor, threatening a nuclear explosion. As the Silurians retreated to their base to go back into hibernation until the radiation in the area subsided, the Doctor stopped the reactor from exploding. However, the Brigadier, on the orders of his superiors, had the Silurian base be sealed off with explosives, killing the Silurians. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)}})

=== After the Wenley Moor massacre ===
Summoned by the Brigadier to an underground research centre on [[Wenley Moor]], the Doctor and Liz met [[Silurian]]s who had gone into hibernation millions of years earlier. They were revived by power from the research centre. The Doctor strove for peace between the reptiles and humans and gained the trust of the [[Okdel|old Silurian leader]]. However, a rebellious and intolerant [[Morka|young Silurian]] seized power and released a deadly [[Silurian virus|virus]] that threatened to wipe out humanity.

The Doctor and Liz found an antidote, but the Silurians retaliated by taking over the research centre. They planned to destroy the Van Allen Belt, a natural barrier shielding the Earth from solar radiation harmful to humans but beneficial to reptiles. The Silurians had to return to their caves when the Doctor overloaded the reactor, threatening a nuclear explosion. The Brigadier, to the Doctor's disgust, had the Silurian base destroyed. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Silurians]]'')
Angry at the outcome of Wenley Moor, the Doctor drove to [[Whitby]] by himself. There he met Ronald Henderson and the two bonded over both being captains stripped of their vessel. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Landbound (audio story)}}) Leaving Bessie behind in Whitby, the Doctor travelled on, eventually making his way to [[Peru]] by impersonating an air stewardess. The Brigadier eventually caught up with him and the two men talked, with the Doctor agreeing to come back to help UNIT. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|AWOL (audio story)}})


After the Silurians' destruction, the Doctor distrusted the Brigadier greatly, and went to meet an alien on his own. Many UNIT soldiers followed him. The alien had attempted to communicate with local citizens telepathically, killing them. The alien was chased up a church. As it attempted to talk with the soldiers telepathically, the Doctor was forced to shoot it dead. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Straw that Broke the Camel's Back]]'')
Still distrustful of the Brigadier, the Doctor went to meet an alien on his own, but many UNIT soldiers followed him. The alien had attempted to communicate with local citizens telepathically, killing them. As it attempted to talk with the soldiers telepathically, the Doctor was forced to kill the alien to save the soldiers. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Straw that Broke the Camel's Back (short story)}})


The Doctor and the Brigadier met "ghosts" in a castle. The Doctor stopped them with a machine that froze them. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Old Soldiers (CC audio story)|Old Soldiers]]'')
The Doctor was sent to investigate the disappearance of two RAF jets gone missing near [[Portsoy]], with RAF Lieutenant [[Mike Yates]] being assisted to assist him. Together, they found the missing pilot, [[Frank Parry]], heading for the [[Easter Aquhorthies]] [[stone circle]] near [[Inverurie]], but died from an electrical discharge when he pressed his palms against the [[recumbent stone]]. After Yates had gone missing, the Doctor found him being interrogated by a group of [[Armidian]]s in a derelict Portsoy house. The Doctor tried negotiating with the Armidians, telling them that their planet, [[Tharos]], no longer existed, but Yates broke free and [[Benton]] opened fire on them as they escaped.


Later, the Doctor, Liz and the Brigadier investigated reports of rusting metal. The Doctor found it was from a meteorite that had crashed nearby. He used an [[anti-corrosive]] liquid to stop rusting at the third site. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Metal Eaters]]'')
Back at UNIT's mobile headquarters in [[RAF Lossiemouth]], the Doctor received a recorded message from [[Eleventh Doctor|a future incarnation of himself]], telling him not to let the Brigadier destroy the [[Tharon stone]] from which the Armidians drew power from the area's igneous rocks, and to preserve it for Professor [[Reynard (Vengeance of the Stones)|Reynard]] at the [[Royal Society]]. Back at the Easter Aquhorthies, the Doctor ordered Yates and his men to earth the Tharon stone with the nearby wire fencing, rendering it powerless. The Doctor survived a murder attempt by Garlin, but was unable to save him. According to this account, Yates was then promoted to captain when being recruited to UNIT by the Brigadier. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Vengeance of the Stones (audio story)}})


The Doctor learned that ships were being misdirected, making them sink. He believed that the signals were being sent from an underground base run by [[Carpanthan]]s, whom he persuaded to make peace with humans. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Fishmen of Carpantha]]'')
During one of his experiments, the Doctor was alerted to the presence of an alien spaceship falling to Earth, and went up to meet it on its arrival in the north of England. Retrieving a capsule from the landing site, the Doctor discovered the remains of a [[Mim]], and ran to the TARDIS after he writhed in pain from touching the Mim. Liz later came to inform him that he was impersonated by one of the Mim so they could disable the Earth's defences and pave the way for their invasion. The Doctor asked for the Time Lords' help to deal with the Mim, as the destruction of the humans would damage the [[Web of Time]], but the [[Adelphi|Time Lord messenger]] told him that they couldn't interfere with what was happening on the surface of the planet, but informed him that they would deal with the Mim invasion flotilla. The Doctor used this to his advantage and managed to lure the Mim scout from their battle with UNIT back to his ship, where he planned to detonate it and kill the Mim. Unfortunately, [[Sergeant]] [[Robin Marshall]] was caught, and killed, in the resultant explosion, which eventually led to the promotion of Corporal [[John Benton]] to Sergeant. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Shadow of the Past (audio story)}})


The Doctor was captured by aliens who wanted to kill him so he would not impede their invasion of [[Earth]]. He defeated them with the [[laser]] in his [[cane]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Assassin from Space]]'')

The Doctor encountered [[Silurian]]-[[Sea Devil]] hybrids and [[Department C19]] for the first time.([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Scales of Injustice]]'') Liz had extensive training, but it paled in comparison to the Doctor's own knowledge of the universe and scientific principles. Frustrated, she resigned from UNIT and returned to Cambridge.

This feeling probably contributed to her decision to return to her own research. ([[TV]]: ''[[Terror of the Autons]]'')
After hearing about the Doctor's exile, {{Hound}} decided to visit him and get revenge for his entombment in the [[11th century]]. He convinced the Doctor that he would take him to the [[51st century]] where he could acquire a [[vortex manipulator]].

When the Doctor discovered evidence of a new Silurian colony, he attempted to make contact with them himself, but this triggered a near-conflict with the colony, populated by Silurian-Sea Devil hybrids seeking a way to breed further, and a renegade faction of [[C19]] seeking to use alien technology to conquer the world. The Doctor and UNIT were able to thwart these efforts and expose the true conspiracy, but the Silurian colony decided to remain in secret for the moment. Faced with the brutality and near-death of these events, Liz decided to return to Cambridge, hoping to make a more conventional difference with the knowledge she had gained from her time with the Doctor.

When mysterious holes containing passages through different time periods started appearing along a [[Dorset]] beach, the Doctor went out to investigate alone. As he was studying the phenomenon, he was attacked by a [[Viking]] warrior, but was rescued by [[Kate Stewart]] and an older Jo, both having arrived through one of the holes from the [[2010s]]. The Doctor accepted their help and with their assistance devised a machine that could repair the anomalies in time. When [[Sirens of Time|an entity]] tricked Kate into reprogramming the system and enlarging the holes, the Doctor was able to stop the ensuing chaos, but could not use the device to correct the anomalies anymore. He then decided to enter the [[Time Vortex]] himself to put things right, at the possible cost of his own life, but Jo knocked him out and went in his place. Her act was successful, and she managed to close the holes. The Doctor then spent the following years trying to find a way to save Jo. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Sacrifice of Jo Grant (audio story)}})
 
When a seemingly benevolent alien species known as [[Axos|the Axons]] arrived, promising new means of energy, the Doctor immediately saw through their charade; they had no intention of helping Earth, instead they planned to drain it dry of all energy.

The Doctor was reunited with Liz Shaw again when she invited him to a lecture on psi powers. Professor [[Brockbank]], a teacher at Cambridge who was to attend the lecture, had died, choking on food. The engines on the plane they were on went out, but they stayed in the air thanks to a woman with psychic abilities, who died once they landed. Liz recognised her as a pupil of Brockbank's rival, [[Hardin (Change of Mind)|Hardin]]. After Hardin refused to talk to them, the Doctor theorised that Hardin had caused Brockbank's death and that he had been performing improper surgery on his students. Calling the Brigadier and organising a mass protest against Hardin, Hardin admitted surgery on his students, as well as on himself. He tried to suffocate the Doctor with his powers, but instead, the Brigadier shot and killed him. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Change of Mind (comic story)}})
 
The Time Lords sent the Doctor to space station [[XZ49]], where his old companion, [[Zoe Heriot]], was stationed. The Time Lords' removal of her memories was failing, and the Doctor believed he had been sent to retrieve the dematerialisation codes from Zoe. After he found that she would lose her memories permanently if he did so too quickly, Zoe's superior, [[Sandra Urtiman]], brought her to the TARDIS. Her memories returned too quickly and she collapsed, with the Doctor realising that this was the Time Lords' intention. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Tip of the Mind (short story)}})
 
When the Time Lords discovered the Master had stolen their secret file on the [[Doomsday Weapon]], they sent the Doctor and Jo to retrieve it on the planet [[Uxarieus]], where they met resistance with the [[Interplanetary Mining Corporation]], who tried to claim rights to the planet with highly unethical means and forcing the colonists to vacate, despite them not being able to do so with their old and damaged ship.
 
Taking advantage of the standstill between IMC and the colonists, the Master posed as an [[Adjudicator]] who could overturn the decision in favour of IMC. The Doctor had little choice but to play up to the Master's whims after a native alien tribe had stolen the TARDIS. He learned the Master's disguise was a ploy to reach a forgotten alien civilisation on Uxarieus, planning to seize the power of one of their weapons. However, the Doctor met the primitives' intelligent leader in the civilisation's city. Because it was intelligent, the Doctor reasoned with it, convincing the guardian to destroy the weapon and all traces of its civilisation before the Master could misuse the technology it held. The Master escaped to freedom. The Doctor reclaimed his TARDIS and left Uxarieus in the hands of a real Adjudicator. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Colony in Space (TV story)}})
 
The Doctor tried to stop the Master, posing as a rural vicar, from summoning [[Azal]], the last of the [[Dæmon]]s, at [[Devil's End]]. Azal decided to give his power to the Master, and fired energy at the Doctor to kill him, until Jo stepped in front of the Doctor, asking Azal to kill her instead. This act of self-sacrifice did not make sense to Azal and the confusion destroyed him. The Master tried to escape in Bessie, but the Doctor's remote control brought the car back and the Master was finally captured by UNIT. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Dæmons (TV story)}})

The Master was blamed by the media for many of the alien activities at that time, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Who Killed Kennedy (novel)}}) and, after being transferred to a new holding cell, regressed the Earth to a primitive place and escaped in his TARDIS. The Doctor stopped him with his own TARDIS and quickly had him locked back up. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Freedom (short story)}}) Shortly afterwards, [[Major]] [[Carver (Major)|Carver]], the father of [[Carver (Private)|a soldier]] vaporised by Azal's servant, [[Bok]], held the Doctor and the Brigadier hostage until they told him his son had died fighting against the Master. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Degrees of Truth (audio story)}})
 
The British government sought to execute the Master for treason, but the Doctor successfully advocated for him to instead receive a life sentence, arguing that he was capable of being rehabilitated. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Sea-Devils (novelisation)}})
 
The Doctor fought the [[Nestene Consciousness]] as it attacked humanity with [[Auto-jet|artificial flowers]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Flower Sour (short story)}})
 
Attempting to start his non-functioning TARDIS in [[Wales]], the Doctor accidentally arrived in [[Australia]]. He was taken to the [[Gemini Plan]], where scientist [[Rudolph Steiner]] planned to shoot a missile to [[Venus]]. The Doctor changed its destination to the [[Sun]], where it was destroyed. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Gemini Plan (TV Action comic story)}})
 
Back in London, the Doctor discovered a time link to [[Nazi]] [[Germany]], [[1942]]. He went there and stopped the Nazis from returning to [[1978]] by setting their transporter to [[London]], [[1942]], where they were arrested. The Doctor set the controls back to [[1973]] and returned home. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Timebenders (comic story)}})
 
The Doctor, with the assistance of [[Captain]] [[Fenton (The Thing from Outer Space)|Fenton]] of the [[Royal Navy]], killed a creature that attacked a [[frigate]] in [[Portsmouth]] harbour. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Thing from Outer Space (short story)}})
 
The Doctor later helped Mike investigate strange weather patterns that were happening in the summer, and noticed that there was an odd energy spike at the same time, which he discovered was due to an alien spaceship and its inhabitant, [[Diamond Jack]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Magician's Oath (audio story)}})
 
The Doctor visited the Master at [[Aylesbury Grange]], where he was being held. The Master insisted he had changed, only to reveal he had escaped, and that the Doctor was speaking to a hologram. The Master nearly escaped, but was stopped by soldiers. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Man in the Ion Mask (comic story)}})
 
When a Mileu spaceship was sighted near East Anglia, the Doctor was reluctant to take action as he believed they were likely peaceful and was more intrigued by a device which had appeared in his TARDIS. He was visited at UNIT HQ by [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|Prime Minister]] [[Jeremy Thorpe]] who was determined to persuade him to take action. The Doctor initially brushed him off however when a listlessness field began affecting the UK he hurried in Bessie to confront the Mileu with Jeremy alongside him. After they arrived at the coast near the spaceship, the Mileu teleported the pair aboard and revealed they were not responsible for the field, but were hunting the alien fugitive who was. Having deduced its purpose, the Doctor threatened to use the device to strengthen the field to affect the Mileu, promptong them to retreat. Afterwards Jeremy confessed he'd spoken to the alien fugitive when he'd called the Damascus project earlier in the day. Furious the project was still operating despite his objections, the Doctor abandoned the Prime Minister on the beach. From this incident Jeremy decided that the Doctor's morality was dangerous and recorded a message stating that the Doctor must be stopped. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Damascus (audio story)}})

[[File:Day of the Daleks Special Edition Mind Analysis.jpg|thumb|Daleks subject the Doctor to mind analysis. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Day of the Daleks (TV story)}})]]
Freedom fighters from an alternate [[22nd century]] tried to thwart a Dalek invasion by coming to the 20th century to assassinate a delegate, [[Reginald Styles]], at the second [[World Peace Conference]] in [[Auderly House]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Day of the Daleks (TV story)}}) Whilst investigating the [[ghost]]s Styles had seen, the Doctor met [[Ace]], who possessed a [[sword]], and exchanged in a sword fight in which he emerged the victor, only for Ace to disappear when she grabbed his blade. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Time & Time Again (comic story)}}) After following the guerrillas back to the 22nd century, the Doctor realised that Styles' actions had instead been performed by [[Shura]], one of the fighters, in a misguided attempt to fulfil his mission, creating a [[temporal paradox]]. After travelling to the 20th century, the Doctor returned to ensure the evacuations of the delegates, having the Brigadier order his men to fall back and allow the Daleks to pass. The Daleks and [[Ogron]]s arrived in pursuit of the Doctor, but both were destroyed when Shura detonated his bomb. This intervention broke the paradox so the Dalek invasion never took place. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Day of the Daleks (TV story)}})
 
Directly after fighting the Daleks, the Doctor met journalist [[James Stevens]]. Stevens had been researching the Doctor ever since his exile began, along with UNIT, and was being attacked by an Ogron, from whom the Doctor saved him. The Doctor had seen James's newscast, where he claimed that "Victor Magister" headed the government organisation [[C19]]. James was sent to a UNIT bunker, where he was given the Doctor's number. Over the phone, James described a golden ring he had found. The Doctor identified it as a [[time ring]] and gave James instructions on how to use it. Following these instructions, James travelled back to [[1963]], where he stopped the Master from destroying Earth. Watching the events unfold, the Doctor decided to visit his old friend in prison. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Who Killed Kennedy (novel)}})
 
On [[Halloween]], the Doctor and Jo investigated a signal being broadcasted into the [[Time Vortex]] from [[New Alverton]] by [[Dalek (The Monster in the Woods)|a Dalek]] left over from the Auderly House attack. The Doctor took the Dalek back to UNIT under the agreement he would use equipment from the TARDIS to send a distress call to the Daleks, but the Doctor really intended to harvest the time-codes to repair his ship, knowing the Dalek's jury-rigged repairs would make it a target for extermination. When the Dalek realised the deceit, it tried to kill the Doctor by self-destructing, but the Doctor managed to deactivate it before it could explode. The Doctor was saddened, believing the Dalek had started to develop a conscience. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Monster in the Woods (short story)}})
 
During an invasion by silver crabs along the British coastline, the Brigadier and the rest of UNIT began to find it difficult to remember the Master when they were called in to investigate a mysterious incident on a [[North Sea]] drilling platform. The Doctor [[deduce]]d the silver crabs were [[Sild]], and were causing everyone to forget the Master by what he called "time fade". The Doctor decided he had to spring the Master from his prison at [[Durlsdon Heath]] before the Sild got to him, but his time ran out and the Brigadier had to have the [[RAF]] blow up the prison. In the aftermath, the Doctor and the Master travelled to the [[far future]] to destroy the ''[[Consolidator]]'' and all the Sild on board. Sometime later, the Doctor returned to UNIT, without the Master. Then, the Master also showed up to gloat, but once again UNIT were able to successfully arrest him and take him away. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Harvest of Time (novel)}})
 
Thinking he had fixed the TARDIS, the Doctor and Jo took it on a test flight, but due to the Time Lords's interference, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Face of the Enemy (novel)}}) the Doctor accidentally landed the TARDIS on the ledge of a great cliff, which gave way and caused it to fall to the bottom of the chasm, on [[Peladon]]. After a cautious climb to safety in the middle of a turbulent storm, the Doctor and Jo entered the citadel of Prince Peladon, where the Doctor was mistaken for a human dignitary summoned to act as chairman of a committee assessing an application by the planet to join the [[Galactic Federation]], where delegates consisted of the [[Ice Warrior]] [[Izlyr]], the [[Alpha Centauri (The Curse of Peladon)|Alpha Centauri]] and [[Arcturus (The Curse of Peladon)|Arcturus]]. There proved to be a conspiracy between a Federation delegate and the High Priest of Peladon, and the Doctor and Jo revealed this conspiracy to the Prince. When the delegates began to point fingers at each other in blame, the Doctor himself accused, all suspicions were rendered futile.
 
However, the Doctor discovered that [[Peladonian]]s worshipped a mythical beast named [[Aggedor]], which turned out to be real. After encountering it, he learned that a Venusian lullaby could calm it, that it feared fire, and that it could fall under [[hypnosis]]. [[Aggedor (The Curse of Peladon)|Aggedor]] was simply a wild creature confined to the citadel in a temple, but the Doctor faced a punishment of execution for desecrating the inner sanctum of Aggedor's temple. Through a plea, he was allowed to battle for survival in a pit fight against the mute warrior [[Grun]] instead. The Doctor won the match and spared Grun, since he was a simple and frightened soul at heart. However, delegate Arcturus revealed himself as a traitor working for [[Hepesh]] and attempted to snipe the Doctor from above the pit, however, Ssorg killed Arcturus before he could kill the Doctor.
 
Hepesh had refused to let Peladon join the Federation because he held fast to the old customs of the planet, which would soon be abandoned if an alliance changed the ways it was governed. He used Aggedor to kill [[Torbis]], let Aggedor run wild through the citadel and cause chaos and framed the Ice Warriors as part of a bid to sabotage the delegation, creating dissent between all parties. The Doctor brought Aggedor to the Prince of Peladon so he would also learn of its presence, but Hepesh tried to command it to kill as its High Priest and appointed ruler. He intimidated Aggedor with a torch, thinking it would obey out of fear, but instead, it provoked Aggedor into fatally mauling him. With the traitors condemned, relations between the Federation and the Peladon Kingdom were improved. After the TARDIS had been heaved up the mountainside, the Doctor and Jo had to disembark immediately from Peladon when the real Earth delegate arrived and they were outed as impostors. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Curse of Peladon (TV story)}})
 
The Doctor and Jo were then transported to 1973 by a [[time twister]] operated by [[Casimer]], a young girl from the [[23rd century]], who the Doctor helped send home, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Sommerton Fetch (short story)}}) and encountered what they believed to be ghosts, but they were actually [[Psion orb]]s, items made to project emotion, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Spoilsport (short story)}}) before returning to UNIT HQ. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Face of the Enemy (novel)}})
 
One night, [[Tuala]] broke into UNIT headquarters and took Jo hostage. The Brigadier attached a homing device to her getaway vehicle so the Doctor could pursue them in Bessie. The Doctor reached the house that Jo was being kept in, but Tuala used a black box to transport herself and Jo away. After finding a [[newspaper]] mentioning [[Bernard Forbes]]' death, the Brigadier and the Doctor visited [[Annie Forbes|his wife]] to talk to her about Bernard's death, but found him alive in a deteriorating mental state. The Doctor [[deduce]]d that Tuala's [[uncle]], [[Krashen]], was changing [[history]] for [[money]]. Confronting him, the Doctor pointed out that time was destroying the house, Bernard Forbes, and Krashen himself. Krashen used his machine to take himself and the Doctor to the bedroom at the time Jo and Tuala were in it. Tuala and Krashen faded away. The Doctor and Jo then barricaded the landing to delay the entrance of the earlier Jo and Tuala. The Doctor fixed the time machine and the room exploded. After waking in the [[UNIT sickbay]], the Doctor travelled to Forbes' house to find that Bernard had just vanished after time was put right. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Honest Living (short story)}})
 
Later, the Master switched bodies with the Doctor in an attempt to escape incarceration. In the Master's body, the Doctor lured his guards into his room and attacked them, but was eventually restrained and locked up again. Realising that he would be back in his cell soon, the Master decided against leaving a trap for the Doctor as it would be more confounding for him if he did not. After being put back in his own body, the Doctor apologised to Jo for "his" rudeness that day. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Switching (short story)}})
 
The Doctor, Jo and the Brigadier encountered space-hounds who wore metal suits, who started pursuing them. The Brigadier killed one by shooting it with a bazooka, and Jo killed another by user her hand mirror to reflect a laser beam. Upon regrouping with Yates and Benton, the Doctor used [[The Doctor's sonic screwdriver|his sonic screwdriver]] and a loudspeaker as a dog-whistle to knock the rest unconscious. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Forgotten (comic story)}})
 
The Doctor and Jo visited the Master, now imprisoned on [[Fortress Island]]. He claimed to have reformed, but still refused to reveal the location of his TARDIS. As they left, the governor, [[George Trenchard|Colonel Trenchard]], told them ships had been disappearing. The Doctor investigated, and discovered that the Master had used Trenchard's sense of duty to manipulate him into stealing electrical equipment from the naval base [[HMS Seaspite|HMS ''Seaspite'']] to build a machine to control the [[Sea Devil]]s, hoping to use the reptiles to conquer the world. The Doctor entered the Sea Devils' base and tried to encourage peaceful negotiation, but the [[Royal Navy]], under orders from Private Secretary [[Walker (The Sea Devils)|Walker]], attacked the base with depth charges, causing more hostilities between humans and Sea Devils. The Doctor escaped with the captured navy crewmembers and their submarine, and returned to HMS ''Seaspite'', which was promptly captured by the Master and the Sea Devils.
 
The Master forced the Doctor to create a [[sonar]] device that would reactivate more Sea Devil bases, but the Doctor plugged it in improperly, creating a noise that temporarily incapacitated the Sea Devils, and allowing time for Jo and [[John Hart (The Sea Devils)|Captain Hart]] to gain reinforcements to recapture HMS ''Seaspite''. The Doctor chased the Master and his device into the Sea Devil base, and overloaded the device by reversing the polarity. This destroyed the base, preventing more bases from being activated and stopping the war. With the Sea Devils destroyed, the Doctor was prepared to return the Master to prison, but the Master successfully made his escape. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Sea Devils (TV story)}}) Returning to UNIT HQ, the Doctor met his [[eighth incarnation]], who had lost his [[memory]]. The Third Doctor blamed the Eighth Doctor for the advice he gave the [[Second Doctor]] which led to his exile, as well as the Master's concurrent escape. At first, he threatened him with the [[Tissue Compression Eliminator]], but tossed the weapon to him instead. Having regained the memories of his third incarnation, the Eighth Doctor left. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Eight Doctors (novel)}})
 
The Doctor asked a noveliser named [[Huxley (Ringpullworld)|Huxley]] to latch on to Jo in the future to rewrite her memories so that she would think she worked with [[Iris Wildthyme]] not him. This was to protect her when they stopped travelling and working together as she could be used to get to the Doctor. Apologising to Jo, he set Huxley on {{Delgado}}. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Find and Replace (audio story)}})
 
The Doctor and Jo travelled to [[Greece]] in the [[1950s]]. As they left the TARDIS, an [[earthquake]] occurred and it fell into a crevice. They saw it fall again and realised that they were in a [[time loop]]. They met a man called [[Katsoudas]], who claimed to be on a mission for the [[Time Lord]]s. They headed to Katsoudas's dig site, where the benefactor of the experiments was revealed to be the Master, who was trapped in a time loop, along with the [[Odobenidan]] crew of a spaceship. The Master was using earthquakes to free himself, despite the damage to Earth's [[Mediterranean Sea|Mediterranean region]]. After [[Nikos Spiridakis]] meddled with the controls for the Master's equipment, the Master fled in his TARDIS. Katsoudas told the Doctor of his plans to continue his experiments with the alien equipment, but the Doctor wouldn't allow it and removed him from his own time to protect the [[Web of Time]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Seismologist's Story (short story)}})
 
The Doctor worked with [[Fourth Doctor|his successor]], who kept his identity secret to maintain the timelines, to defeat the Sea Devils, who had launched an attack on a [[submarine]] after being accidentally awakened. After they were successful, the Fourth Doctor left before the Third Doctor could realise his true identity. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Under Pressure (comic story)}})
 
The Time Lords ordered the Doctor to deliver an object to an unknown person in the [[30th century]], near the end of the [[Earth Empire]], on the colony world of [[Solos]], where the humans were becoming hideous mutants. The Doctor, with the help of Professor [[Sondergaard]], discovered the transformation was a natural part of the Solonian life cycle. A Solonian leader, [[Ky]], eventually went into his metamorphosis and killed the Marshal of Solos, who had been committing genocide against the mutants. The Doctor was instrumental in finding the crystal on Solos that was necessary to spark their final metamorphosis into a higher existence for the coming of the planet's long summer climate. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Mutants (TV story)}})
 
The Doctor and Jo travelled to the [[Prehistory|prehistoric]] [[jungle]] planet [[Quorus]] and noticed that the Master was controlling a [[dinosaur]]-like animal with a gadget. They saw him collect something and then leave in his TARDIS. They tracked him to Earth, but lost him when they entered the atmosphere. After a similar creature destroyed a warehouse, the Doctor and Jo, with armed forces, travelled there and found rubble and an [[egg]] shell. The Doctor realised the Master's plan and after hearing a report of a trail leading to the top-secret weapons research station [[Darisdale]], he and Jo headed there in Bessie.
 
They arrived at Darisdale, but were refused entry by a Major. As they turned around and drove away, the Master watched them and set the giant animal after them. In a quick effort, the Doctor pressed a button on Bessie's dashboard which ejected oil, stopping the monster in its tracks. The Master teleported the creature to [[Trafalgar Square]], but the Doctor used an ultra-sonic whistle to bring it out of the Master's control. The creature was stopped and killed, the Master escaped and the Doctor stayed behind to witness the staff of Darisdale being placed under [[arrest]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Doctor Who Fights Masterplan "Q" (short story)}})
 
The Doctor encountered the Master aiding [[Nurazh]], a mind-parasite which fed off its host's life energy. The Doctor battled with the Nurazh, but was pushed off a tall building and died. As his regeneration began, the Nurazh transferred itself into the Doctor's mind. Unable to cope with the two Time Lord minds at once, it perished, healing the Doctor in the process and negating the regeneration. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Touch of the Nurazh (short story)}})
 
The Doctor investigated the mystery of five missing people, which led him to a health clinic in a country manor house, where he discovered the [[Birastrop|shape-changing alien]] Doctor [[Dantalion]]. Dantalion offered the Doctor a drink, but it contained a paralysing agent. He planned to cut the Doctor up for medical research, as he had done to the missing people. Jo came in with a [[pistol]] and Dantalion was detained. When the Doctor compared his behaviour to that of a doctor, he realised Dantalion was an actual doctor. As a convoy took Dantallion away, the Doctor bid farewell to Dantalion, but not before he signed over the country manor to him, allowing the Doctor to gain a new base for UNIT, saving their funding from the government. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Where the Heart Is (short story)}})
 
When the [[Fourth Doctor]] used his [[TARDIS tuner]] to begin a [[temporal meta-collision]] with his other incarnations, the Third Doctor learnt that Earth was under threat from a [[Pandimensional entity (Doctors Assemble!)|pandimensional entity]] that had trapped his fourth incarnation in his TARDIS. The Third Doctor took charge of the situation, organising his other incarnations into teams to combat the threat of the entity and free their fourth incarnation. However, the [[War Doctor]] realised that the [[Sixth Doctor]] was sending encoded messages on how to defeat the entity and stopped the invasion, and the Sixth Doctor installed a way to expel the entity from the Fourth Doctor's TARDIS, ending the crisis. ([[WC]]: {{cs|Doctors Assemble! (webcast)}})
 
The Doctor discovered that the Master had constructed a device known as [[TOMTIT]] and commissioned scientists, [[Ruth Ingram]] and [[Stuart Hyde]], to further its work at the [[Newton Institute]]. The device let the Master pluck various objects from history out of their proper setting and slow down time, though the Master's true goal was to summon the [[Chronovore]] [[Kronos]] and use its incredible might for conquest. Pursuing him in the Time Vortex, the Doctor accidentally materialised his TARDIS inside the Master's, locking both in a [[space loop]]. After much arguing between him and the Doctor, the Master forcibly separated their TARDISes, but launched the Doctor into the [[Time Vortex]]. Fortunately, the Doctor used his [[binary cardiovascular system]] and the [[telepathic circuit]]s of his TARDIS to communicate with Jo and instruct her to materialise him back in his TARDIS by using an emergency switch on the console.
 
The Doctor, Jo and the Master travelled to ancient [[Atlantis]] for the other half of the crystal needed to control Kronos, where the Doctor and Jo temporarily enjoyed victory over the Master. However, the Master's charm won over [[King]] [[Dalios]]'s wife, [[Queen]] [[Galleia]], making her turn against Dalios's rule. When a guard killed Dalios, however, Galleia turned against the Master in anger, and summoned Kronos with the crystal, resulting in the city's destruction. The Master escaped the destruction, but took Jo hostage in his TARDIS. The Doctor threatened to [[time ram]] the Master's TARDIS, but the Master knew he would not risk Jo's safety. Jo, however, tried to carry out the time ram on her own. To their surprise, Kronos itself intervened and told the Doctor and Jo that it was above good and evil. It would grant any wish they desired, but wanted to inflict an everlasting punishment on the Master for trying to control it. The Doctor, knowing that this fate was too cruel, asked that the Master be spared and that he and Jo were sent home to Earth. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Time Monster (TV story)}})
 
Whilst at UNIT with [[Tom Osgood]], the Doctor noticed he could only communicate using the vowel "o" and "y". The Doctor and Osgood headed for the Doctor's hut to work on a device that would block the invaders named the [[Kobold]]s' signals. However, the Doctor became frustrated with Osgood and stormed into the TARDIS, where he learned he could speak normally. The Kobolds broke in and attacked the Doctor, and, after they seemingly overpowered him, they headed inside the TARDIS, although this was part of the Doctor's plan. When [[Forty (Morphology)|Forty]] noticed the [[roundel]]s in the TARDIS, he was distracted long enough for the Doctor to take him back to his planet, [[Procyon Two]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Morphology (short story)}})
 
Along with seven other incarnations, the Third Doctor became trapped in [[the Void]] when it began to attack and devour the universe, passing through the [[Tenth Doctor]]'s TARDIS as he was pulled in. 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 and [[Twelfth Doctor|twelfth incarnations]], 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]]: {{cs|The Lost Dimension (comic story)}})
 
The Doctor and Jo were brought to a new training base, [[Base 43]], where dummies of old adversaries were kept. There they met Colonel [[Ashe]], who revealed himself a [[Russian]] spy sent to recruit the Doctor. The Doctor pretended to agree, only to knock the Colonel out just as the Brigadier and Sergeant Benton walked in. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Target Practice (comic story)}})
 
The Doctor visited Professor Child's dig, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Suns of Caresh (novel)}}) and took Jo to see the coronation of [[Elizabeth II]] in Bessie. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Where's the Doctor? (comic story)}})
 
The Doctor investigated a mysterious infantryman's jacket, after Jo told him that her friend [[Roddy Fletcher]] was acting strangely after buying it, and discovered that Roddy was being possessed by [[Tommy Watkins]], who the Doctor had met in his [[first incarnation]] at the [[Battle of Spion Kop]]. The Doctor was able to free Roddy from Tommy by forcibly removing the jacket, and had it placed in [[The Vault (The Scales of Injustice)|the Vault]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Tales from the Vault (audio story)}})
 
At Christmas, the Doctor tried to speak with a drunken man on a train, before he disappeared with a flash. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Jigsaw (short story)}})
 
The Doctor also met [[Iris Wildthyme]], who helped him encounter robot sheep, aliens who looked like book characters and an alien named [[Verdigris (chemistry)|Verdigris]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Verdigris (novel)}})
 
=== Facing Omega ===

A superluminal signal was sent to Earth, carrying with it an unusual energy blob that seemed intent on capturing the Doctor. On [[Gallifrey]], the Time Lords broke the first law of time to bring the Second Doctor to help him. When the two proved too different to work together, the Time Lords summoned the [[First Doctor]] to lead them, but he was trapped in a time eddy and unable to fully materialise, only communicating with them via the TARDIS scanner.
 
The Doctors found [[Omega]] behind the mysterious disappearances. They prevented him from reinserting himself into the world of matter from his [[anti-matter]] domain by blowing it up with a mix of regular matter and anti-matter. As a reward for his services, the Doctor's exile was lifted. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Three Doctors (TV story)}})
 
Now that he was able, he promised that he would take [[Jo Grant]] to see [[Metebelis III]] and its [[Metebelis crystal|blue crystals]], although she suspected they'd get side-tracked from any simple destination the Doctor tried to pick out. However, this had to be delayed because he had to travel to [[Geneva]] with [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|the Brigadier]], as the [[United Nations]] wanted to discreetly grant him an award for helping to save the [[World Peace Conference]]. In his absence, the [[Thirteenth Doctor]]'s TARDIS made a brief [[emergency landing]] in his UNIT lab, with [[Yasmin Khan]] taking note of the frilly shirts on the coat-rack and even finding the Doctor's [[UNIT pass]].

Celebrating the end of his exile, the Doctor encountered Verdigris again with Iris and [[Thomas Daley|Tom]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Verdigris (novel)}}) and rescued Liz from 1539. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Hiccup in Time (short story)}})
 
One day, the Doctor was working on his TARDIS when [[The Scorchies Show]] caught his eye. When the Doctor never returned from the studio and was believed dead, Jo confronted the [[Scorchie]]s. However, the Doctor survived and was spotted in amongst the UNIT soldiers. [[Professor Baffle]] activated a device that [[Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow|reversed the polarity]] causing the Scorchies to disintegrate and Baffle revealed that he allowed the Doctor to infiltrate his personality long ago. The reversed signal destroyed the physical form of the Scorchies and the Doctor conceded that they continue to exist as an intelligence floating through space.

The Doctor visited Ronald in Whitby again and took him back in time to witness the disaster that had led to him losing his captaincy, confirming Ronald's belief it was an alien. Despite the Doctor's intent, this actually distressed Ronald considerably. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Landbound (audio story)}})

Having come to enjoy London, the Doctor delayed his departure for a time. When the [[Micro machine (The Heralds of Destruction)|micro machines]] invaded Earth, the Doctor captured a piece of them for analysis, being shocked to find his preceding incarnation having once again been sent to help him. When Jo was infected by the micro machine he'd captured, the Doctor ventured into [[Jo Grant's mind|her mind]] to make peace with it. When he returned to the physical world, he was met by {{Delgado}} who revealed that the Second Doctor was in fact [[Ramón Salamander]]. Tracking down Salamander just as he travelled back to [[1868]], the Doctor managed to use his friendship with the micro machines to have them stand down. Upon returning to [[UNIT HQ]], the Doctor began making preparations to leave Earth and take the micro machines to a planet where they could develop on their own. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Heralds of Destruction (comic story)}})
 
Joined by Liz Shaw for the TARDIS's maiden voyage, the Doctor and Jo travelled to [[Russia]], [[1916]], where they encountered [[Grigori Rasputin]]. Liz was brought to the authorities after it was learned she disliked Rasputin because of her knowledge of history. The authorities, who also disliked him, invited Rasputin to a house, where they planned to kill him by poison. Jo saw the men poisoning his food and replaced it with wholesome food. [[Felix Mather]], noticing that he had not died from the poisoning, shot Rasputin in the back, and then went to celebrate. Rasputin, who had survived the shot, tried to leave, but was gunned down again and then dumped in a lake. The Doctor tried to save him, but was too late. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Wages of Sin (novel)}})
 
The Doctor raised an underwater prison to save multiple women trapped there as a cruel and unreasonable punishment, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Deep Stretch (short story)}}) and encountered an alien known as [[Rowe]], who put him and Jo through multiple death scenarios. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Many Deaths of Jo Grant (audio story)}})
 
After the Brigadier alerted him to a [[Physical Temporal Nexuses]] in the [[Moxon Collection]], the Doctor and Jo tried to replace the PTN, the spear [[Gungnir]], with an identical copy, but were foiled by armed guards. Undeterred, the Doctor and Jo travelled to a [[141]] [[Sweden]] village of [[Viking]]s to replace the spear in the past, and found that the Master was manipulating [[Odin]] and [[Njord]] for control of the Gungnir. However, the Doctor tricked Odin into attacking him with the spear, and switched it with the copy he had made when no one was looking. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Spear of Destiny (short story)}})


The Doctor, Jo and the Brigadier encountered the lord [[Hades]], whom they stopped with the help of {{Delgado}} and [[Zeus (Deadly Reunion)|Zeus]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Deadly Reunion]]'')
The Doctor and Jo travelled to [[Oxford]] in the [[21st century]], where they encountered a man who had nearly died of dehydration in the library. Inside, the Doctor discovered a group of [[Tynaker]]s, an alien species that had been stealing books in order to remove the information inside from Earth's future. The Doctor was able to overload their dimensional penetration device and they fled, releasing thousands of books. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Losing Track of Time (short story)}})


At Christmas, the UNIT party was interrupted by Dr. Fischer, a scientist from [[Geneva]]--actually the Master in disguise. He claimed that he too had been permanently exiled to Earth, and only wanted company for Christmas. The two Time Lords shared a drink and the Master left. There were explosions and audio bugs around the UNIT base, but Jo said that the Master knew he would find them and was sincere about why he came. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[UNIT Christmas Parties: Christmas Truce]]'')
Attempting to treat Jo and Yates, the Doctor accidentally travelled into the future, arriving on [[Harmony Station]] as it was being used as part of a ceremonial marriage between the leaders of the [[Chalnoth Hegemony]] and the [[Teklarn Incorporation]]. When circumstances forced Jo to pose as a visiting security consultant, the Doctor was nearly executed as a saboteur, but his companions were able to prove that the real security consultant was the true criminal. With the threat defeated, the Doctor officiated at the wedding. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Havoc of Empires (audio story)}})


The Doctor next made a trip in the TARDIS to [[Estringokl]] with Jo for their Christmas celebration. The planet was lifeless and covered in ice. The Doctor recalled that the inhabitants had planted it as a tradition brought from Earth. It had become sick, and robots had cared for it. On one visit he had promised he would continue their work, but this memory had been blocked by the [[Time Lord]]s. The Doctor used the TARDIS to finish decorating the tree, travelling through time eleven times. On the final trip, the pioneers woke from a deep sleep and visited the tree for a new Christmas celebration. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Thousand Years of Christmas]]'')
The Doctor and Jo met [[Harry Houdini]], ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Smoke and Mirrors (audio story)}}) and encountered the [[Necrobiological]]s, a race of [[vampire]]s, on [[Sekhmet (planet)|Sekhmet]]. The Necrobiologicals escaped aboard a ship called the ''Exemplar'' and entered a [[wormhole]]. The Doctor spent many years searching for the ''Exemplar'' without success. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Zaltys (audio story)}}) Later, Jo was captured during an incident involving giant tortoises and the Master. The Doctor was forced to lower himself down a pit three miles deep and communicate using only his eyes to negotiate for her release. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Last Fairy Tale (audio story)}})


The Doctor was reunited with Liz Shaw again when she invited him to a lecture on psi powers. Professor [[Brockhurst]], a teacher at Cambrige who was to attend the lecture, had died, choking on food. The engines on the plane they were on went out. They stayed in the air thanks to a woman with psychic abilities, who died once they landed. Liz recognised her as a pupil of [[Hardin]], Brockhurst's rival. Hardin refused to talk to them. Theorising that Hardin had caused Brockhurst's death and that he had been performing improper surgery on his students, the Doctor called the Brigadier and organised a mass protest against Hardin. Hardin admitted surgery on his students--and on himself. He tried to suffocate the Doctor with his powers, but instead, the Brigadier shot and killed him. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Change of Mind (comic story)|Change of Mind]]'')
[[Zex]], on orders from the Master, took over UNIT in the possessed body of Miss [[Prentice (Listen - The Stars)|Prentice]], but the Doctor created a machine to separate the two souls, banishing Zex and returning Prentice to normal. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Listen - The Stars (short story)}})


The Doctor took a trip to the theatre to see a [[Peter Cushing]] film. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Visit to the Cinema]]'')
[[File:The time theif.jpg|left|thumb|The Doctor gets an idea from Jo. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Time Thief (comic story)}})]]
The Doctor and Jo investigated a sunken [[UN]] ship attacked by robots from another era, only to discover underneath the water was a portal to [[Ekaypia]], where the Master had hypnotised the [[Ekayprian]]s into making him their leader. He planned to teleport his army to Earth, and locked up the Doctor. However, the Doctor hypnotised his guard and then switched the circuits on the Master's matter transporter to explode upon activation before escaping. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Time Thief (comic story)}})


[[File:Interior-master.jpg|thumb|The Doctor pretends work with [[the Master]] so he can thwart [[Axos]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Claws of Axos]]'')]]
Aliens landed on Earth and began draining energy from it. The Doctor confronted them, and they turned out to be peaceful, only wanting to stop the spread of [[Molag seed]]s. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Menace of the Molags (comic story)}})
When a seemingly benevolent alien species known as [[Axos|the Axons]] arrived, promising new means of energy, the Doctor immediately saw through their charade; they had no intention of helping Earth, rather, they planned to drain it dry of all energy. The Doctor once again encountered the Master, who had been captured by Axos after leading them to [[Earth]]; the Doctor put on the pretence of abandoning his friends at UNIT while working with the Master to repair his TARDIS. While the Master escaped once again, the Doctor succeeded in trapping Axos in a [[time loop]] before departing himself. However, as he discovered, much to his displeasure, the [[Time Lord]]s had anticipated him leaving Earth and so reprogrammed the TARDIS that it would always bring him back and keep him in the [[20th century|20th Century Time Zone]], turning him into (as he complained bitterly) "some kind of a galactic [[yo-yo]]!" ([[TV]]: ''[[The Claws of Axos]]'')  


[[File:Colony in Space Doctor and Master.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor questions the Master's motives for coming to a downtrodden colonised world. ([[TV]]: ''[[Colony in Space]]'')]]
=== Continued voyages ===
Because of this, the Time Lords took some pity on the Doctor and allowed him limited control of his TARDIS to take on missions for them, mostly against {{Delgado}}. When the Time Lords discovered the Master had stolen their secret file on the [[Doomsday Weapon]], they sent the Doctor and Jo to retrieve it. They arrived on the planet [[Uxarieus]] and met resistance with the [[Interplanetary Mining Corporation]] who tried to claim rights to the planet with highly unethical means and force the colonists to vacate, who could not do so with an old, damaged ship, nor return to an already overpopulated Earth.

Taking advantage of the standstill between IMC and the colonists, the Master posed as an [[Adjudicator]] who could overturn the decision in favour of IMC. The Doctor had little choice but to play up to the Master's whims after a native alien tribe had stolen the TARDIS. He learned the Master's disguise was a ploy to reach a forgotten alien civilisation on Uxarieus, where they found it had regressed to a primitive species from self-destructive warfare. The Master was planning to seize the power of one of their weapons and use it to destroy stars. However, the Doctor met the last native Uxariean, the only survivor from the original alien race before war spurred their degeneration. Because it was intelligent, the Doctor reasoned with it. This convinced the lone survivor to destroy the weapon and all traces of its civilisation before the Master could misuse the technology it held. The Doctor reclaimed his TARDIS and left Uxarieus in the hands of a real Adjudicator that would almost certainly rule in favour of the colonists, only to find with dismay that once he and Jo returned to Earth, the Brigadier was readily waiting for him with an assignment. ([[TV]]: ''[[Colony in Space]]'')
[[File:Carnival ep2.JPG|thumb|The Doctor and Jo try to escape a [[miniscope]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Carnival of Monsters (TV story)}})]]
The Doctor and Jo wound up on the ''[[SS Bernice]]'', a cargo ship crossing the Indian Ocean. A monster appeared in the sea, events repeated themselves, and a giant hand stole the TARDIS. Investigation revealed that they were inside a [[miniscope]], an alien peepshow sporting numerous miniaturised environments, which showman [[Vorg (Carnival of Monsters)|Vorg]] and his assistant, [[Shirna]], had brought to amuse the populace of the planet [[Inter Minor]]. After leaving the miniscope, the Doctor returned the creatures to their homes and destroyed the machine, allowing him to return to normal size. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Carnival of Monsters (TV story)}}) While working on the miniscope, he encountered [[River Song]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Peepshow (audio story)}})


The Time Lords sent him to space station [[XZ49]], where his old companion [[Zoe Herriot]] was stationed. The Time Lords's removal of her memories was failing. The Doctor believed he had been sent to retrieve the dematerialisation codes from Zoe, but he found that if he did so too quickly, she would lose her memories permanently. Zoe's superior, [[Sandra Urtiman]], brought Zoe to the TARDIS. Her memories returned too quickly and she collapsed. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Tip of the Mind]]'')
The Doctor then encountered extreme temporal anomalies, which he was eventually able to stop, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Suns of Caresh (novel)}}) and was saved from [[The Entity (Seven to One)|an Entity]] by his [[First Doctor|first incarnation]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Seven to One (audio story)}})


[[File:Doctor prevents Azal's attack on his life.jpg|thumb|right|"If you kill me now, you will wonder throughout eternity whether you should have listened to my words." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Dæmons]]'')]]
The Doctor and Jo were sent to a planet where a computer put them through many deadly games and quizzes, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The House That Jack Built (short story)}}) and encountered a creature which wished to live forever, but needed the Doctor's body to do so. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Revenge of the Phantoms (short story)}})
The Doctor discovered an "old evil" slept in [[Devil's End]] and tried to stop its awakening. The Master, posing as a rural vicar, summoned the last of the Dæmons' kind, [[Azal]]. Azal decided to give his power to the Master, and fired energy at the Doctor to kill him. Jo stepped in front of the Doctor, asking Azal to kill her instead. This act of self-sacrifice did not make sense to Azal. The confusion destroyed him. The Master tried to escape in Bessie, but the Doctor's remote control brought the car back and the Master was finally captured by UNIT. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Dæmons]]'')  


The Master was blamed by the media for many of the alien activities at that time, many of which the Doctor and UNIT had been involved in. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Who Killed Kennedy (novel)|Who Killed Kennedy]]'') [[Major Carver]], the father of the soldier whom the gargoyle Bok had vaporised, held the Doctor and the Brigadier hostage until they told him his son had died fighting against Victor Magister. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Degrees of Truth (audio story)|Degrees of Truth]]'')
The Doctor visited [[Freedonia (planet)|Freedonia]], a planet that he had been to before when helping in a revolution. He discovered the people were now slaves to [[Kamoa]], one of the leaders of the revolution who was now nothing more than a brain. Jo convinced one of Kamoa's servants, [[Bolgar]], to unplug the brain, freeing the people. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|After the Revolution (comic story)}})


==== The Master's imprisonment ====
The Doctor and Jo visited a rock concert on the planet [[Rishik]], where an [[earthquake]] occurred. The Doctor rushed back to the TARDIS, where he discovered that the quake had affected the entire planet except for the house of [[Genus Fry]], the planet's most famous rock star. The Doctor discovered that Fry was a psychic, who could see into the future, but for the last ten years could only see darkness. He was visited by two [[Rock]]-based [[Tun]]s, [[Oke]] and [[Erm]], who revealed that the planet had nuclear power stations on each side, which posed a threat to the planet, and Fry agreed to help create the earthquakes, choosing the lesser of two evils. The Doctor was able to stop the earthquakes with Fry's help, but Fry died in the process. His mind, however, was placed into a spare Tun body, and the Doctor stated that now he was a true "rock star". ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Rock Star (short story)}})
The Master, after being transferred to a new holding cell, regressed the Earth to a primitive place and escaped in his TARDIS. The Doctor stopped him with his own TARDIS and quickly had him locked up. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Freedom (short story)|Freedom]]'')


The Doctor investigated a hospital, where he found a woman named [[Marion Connors]], envious of those fitter than she. She had dreamed of making the people she hated sick and had been doing so. Marion asked him to kill her, but instead, he told the other patients how to avoid her attacks. Unable to torment anyone else, Marion lost the will to live and died. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Angel (short story)|Angel]]'')
The Doctor then took a trip to an island in the [[Bermuda Triangle]] so that Jo could sunbathe, but discovered a tall man lived on the island. The man thought them to be gifts from God and [[Santa Claus]] and did not ask to be rescued, so they left without him. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Lost and Founded (short story)}})


After Christmas, the Doctor entered an alternate universe running backwards to stop [[Doreen Killebrew]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Doll of Death]]'')
Jo and the Doctor then went to a desert planet, where two sisters, [[Sophia (Once upon a Time Machine)|Sophia]] and [[Alice (Once upon a Time Machine)|Alice]], were competing to become queen. The final task was to guess the three objects in a sealed temple. Sophia, who had cheated by looking, guessed a crown, a sceptre and a mace, but Alice predicted that it was a [[yo-yo]], an [[umbrella]], and a [[Jelly baby|bag of sweets]]. Alice was correct, and was crowned queen. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Once upon a Time Machine (short story)}})
The Doctor encountered a magician ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Magician's Oath]]'')  


[[File:Day_of_the_Daleks.jpg|thumb|A [[Dalek]] menaces the Doctor. ([[TV]]: ''[[Day of the Daleks]]'')]] In an alternate [[22nd century]], freedom fighters tried to thwart a Dalek invasion by coming to the 20th century to assassinate a delegate, [[Reginald Styles|Sir Reginald Styles]], at the second [[World Peace Conference]] in [[Auderly House]]. It was thought the delegate had caused an explosion at the conference, starting [[World War III]], which had left humanity vulnerable to the Daleks. After following the guerillas back to the 22nd century, the Doctor realised that the explosion had instead been caused by one of the fighters, [[Shura]], in a misguided attempt to fulfil his mission. He had actually been responsible for starting the escalation, leading the Doctor to explain to the guerillas, "Don't you see? You're trapped in a temporal paradox! ''Styles'' didn't destroy the conference and start the wars. You did it ''yourselves."'' After travelling to the 22nd century, the Doctor returned to ensure the evacuations of the delegates, having the Brigadier order his men to fall back and allow the Daleks to pass. The Daleks and [[Ogron]]s arrived in pursuit of the Doctor, but both were destroyed when Shura detonated his bomb. ([[TV]]: ''[[Day of the Daleks]]'')
=== The Spiridon gambit ===
[[File:Draconian Emperor allows expedition.jpg|thumb|left|The Draconian Emperor permits the Doctor to mount an expedition to the Ogron planet. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Frontier in Space (TV story)}})]]
Upon arriving on an Earth freighter, the Doctor and Jo were caught up in the escalating tension between planets [[Earth]] and [[Draconia]]. The Doctor landed his ship in an Earth cargo ship to avoid a collision, but could not properly speak to the crew, as Ogrons boarded it, making off with the TARDIS. Unfortunately, a strange noise caused the human crew to see the Ogrons as though they were Draconians, and they believed the Doctor and Jo had led them onto the ship as spies for Draconia. The two of them were imprisoned on Earth and were unable to convince their captors that they were innocent.


Directly after fighting the Daleks, the Doctor met journalist [[James Stevens]]. Stevens had been researching the Doctor ever since his exile began, along with UNIT, and was being attacked by an Ogron, from whom the Doctor saved him. The Doctor had seen James's newscast, where he claimed that "Victor Magister" headed the government organisation [[C19]]. James was sent to a UNIT bunker, where he was given the Doctor's number. Over the phone, James described a golden ring he had found. The Doctor identified it as a time ring and gave James instructions on how to use it. Following these instructions, James travelled back to [[1963]], where he stopped the Master from destroying Earth. Watching the events unfold, the Doctor decided to visit his arch-enemy in prison. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Who Killed Kennedy (novel)|Who Killed Kennedy]]'')
The Doctor was sent to a penal colony on the Moon, where the Peace Party plotted an escape, while Jo was greeted by the Master, posing as a commissioner from [[Sirius IV]] and arranged for the release of the Doctor from the penal colony after intervening with a sabotage of the Peace Party's escape plot. They soon discovered that the Master was secretly working with the Ogrons to provoke the two sides into all-out war under the orders of the Daleks, using [[hypnosound]] technology to confuse them into thinking humans and Draconians were attacking each other. His plans to kidnap them failed when the ship violated Draconian territory, causing Draconians to seize control of it and bring the Doctor, Jo, and the Master to their home world to face judgement by their own emperor.


=== Missions for the Time Lords ===
Fortunately, the Doctor was able to convince the Draconian Emperor that they were being tricked into attacking humans. He sent the Doctor back to Earth with his son, the prince of Draconia, to convince the President of Earth they had been wronged, but the Master sent the Ogrons to attack them and they captured Jo. Unable to turn back because Earth and Draconia were on the brink of war, the Doctor continued to Earth and explained the deception to its President. He also had to reason with the unyielding [[General]] [[John Williams]], who joined the expedition to the Ogron planet, and the group rescued Jo after she managed to resist the Master's hypnosound technology and radioed for help.
Thinking he had fixed the TARDIS, the Doctor and Jo took it on a test flight, but due to the Time Lords's intervention, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Face of the Enemy (novel)|The Face of the Enemy]]'') they unexpectedly arrived on the planet [[Peladon]]. Jo had gotten "all dolled up for a night out on the town with Mike Yates" when he requested her to join him on what she called a "joyride". The Doctor accidentally landed the TARDIS on the ledge of a great cliff, which gave way and caused it to fall to the bottom of the chasm. After a cautious climb to safety in the middle of a turbulent storm, the Doctor and Jo found shelter. They entered the citadel of the soon-to-be-crowned King Peladon, where the Doctor was mistaken for a human dignitary summoned to act as chairman of a committee assessing an application by the planet to join the [[Galactic Federation]], where delegates consisted of the [[Ice Warrior]] [[Izlyr]] with his bodyguard [[Ssorg]], [[Alpha Centauri (The Curse of Peladon)|Alpha Centauri]] and [[Arcturus (The Curse of Peladon)|Arcturus]], who had all arrived and were awaiting the Earth delegate. Jo followed the Doctor's lead, posing as the royal "Princess Josephine" so the presence of a woman at the committee would be justified. There proved to be a conspiracy between a Federation delegate and the High Priest of Peladon, and the Doctor and Jo revealed this conspiracy to the King. Initially, the Ice Warriors were suspected of causing the friction at the assessment, after Arcturus's life support system was tampered with, they locked Jo in their accommodating room for snooping around, their past history as a hostile race and the fact they had come armed in case someone attempted an attack. When the delegates began to point fingers at each other in blame, the Doctor himself accused, all suspicions were rendered futile.  


[[File:Third Doctor Aikido Stance.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor holds a fighting stance in a bout of mortal combat. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Peladon (TV story)|The Curse of Peladon]]'')]]
The Master anticipated the arrival of the Doctor, having both the Ogrons and Daleks wait for their arrival. He captured the expedition group and promised the [[Gold Dalek (Day of the Daleks)|Gold Dalek]] that he would turn over the Doctor to the Daleks for extermination. Fortunately, Jo had pocketed the Master's hypnosound device, and the Doctor used it to frighten the Ogrons into thinking their Dalek masters were terrorising them. In this panic, the Master cornered the Doctor and Jo before they retrieved the TARDIS, pointing a blaster at the Doctor, firing the gun by accident when Ogrons overran him. Though Jo wrestled the gun from the Master as he was swept out of the room by their lumbering bodies, but his shot had grazed the Doctor's forehead and had badly wounded him.
However, the Doctor discovered that [[Peladonian]]s worshiped a mythical beast named [[Aggedor]], which turned out to be real. After encountering it, he learned a Venusian lullaby could calm it, it feared fire, and could fall under [[hypnosis]]. Aggedor was simply a wild creature confined to the citadel in a temple, but the Doctor faced a punishment of execution for desecrating the inner sanctum of Aggedor's temple. Through a plea, he was allowed to battle for survival in a pit fight against the mute warrior [[Grun]] instead. The Doctor won the match and spared Grun, since he was a simple and frightened soul at heart. However, delegate [[Arcturus (The Curse of Peladon)|Arcturus]] revealed himself as a traitor working for [[Hepesh]] and attempted to snipe the Doctor from above the pit, having faked the attempt on his life by allowing a component of his life support to be temporarily removed by Hepesh that would not have seriously threatened his well-being. Ssorg used deadly force to destroy Arcturus before he could kill the Doctor, proving that the Ice Warriors had moved past their uncivilised mindsets and could be a friendlier species, and perhaps allies of the Doctor.  


Hepesh had refused to let Peladon join the Federation because he held fast to the old customs of the planet, which would soon be abandoned if an alliance changed the ways it was governed. He used Aggedor to kill [[Torbis]], let Aggedor run wild through the citadel and cause chaos and framed the Ice Warriors as part of a bid to sabotage the delegation, creating dissent between all parties. The Doctor brought Aggedor to the King of Peladon so he would also learn of its presence, but Hepesh tried to command it to kill as its High Priest and appointed ruler. He intimidated Aggedor with a torch, thinking it would obey out of fear, but instead, it provoked Aggedor into fatally mauling him. Hepesh regretted his actions and died with the thought that he may have been wrong to fight the change at hand. With the traitors condemned, relations between the Federation and the Peladon Kingdom were improved. The King wished for Jo to stay, developing romantic feelings for her in the short time she had been at the delegation, but Jo turned him down, knowing she could not stay. After the TARDIS had been heaved up the mountainside by some stout lads, the Doctor and Jo were about to witness King Peladon's official coronation, but had to disembark immediately from Peladon in their recovered TARDIS, when [[Amazonia]], the real Earth delegate, arrived late and they were outed as impostors. The delegates could not find them in time for a confrontation and watched the TARDIS dematerialise with amazed glances. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Peladon]]'')
Barely conscious, the Doctor had Jo help him into the TARDIS, where he sent a message to the Time Lords, asking them to pilot his TARDIS and follow the Daleks to their new base. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Frontier in Space (TV story)}}) Whilst there was a dissenting account of these events that claimed the Doctor had been in good health as he escaped, even having a brief battle of words with the Master before boarding the TARDIS in which the Doctor admitted he would never be able to kill his old friend, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Space War (novelisation)}}) Jo brought the Doctor over to a collapsible bed within the TARDIS console room so he could rest. The Doctor told Jo he would heal, but it would take time. He gave her a tricorder to log anything unusual that happened while he was unconscious, and drifted into a temporary coma.


Jo and the Doctor found the TARDIS transported to 1973 by a [[time twister]] operated by [[Casimer]], a young girl from the [[23rd century]]. The Doctor helped send her home. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Sommerton Fetch]]'')
After the Doctor regained consciousness, he wanted to find Jo to show her he was now healthy. However, Jo had left him to find help and was presumed deceased by a group of [[Thal]]s she found. He eventually found Jo alive and safe, learning that the Spiridons were a peaceful race forced into violence and experimentation by the Daleks. The group discovered a base with more than ten-thousand Daleks hibernating and buried deep in the ground, and the Doctor figured out they were vulnerable to extreme cold after noticing they slowed down during the nightfall that brought temperatures below freezing on Spiridon. The Daleks were eliminated by using the natural eruptions of liquid ice on Spiridon against them, liberating the Thals, the captive Spiridons, and removing the danger the Dalek army posed to other neighbouring races in the galaxy. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Planet of the Daleks (TV story)}})


The Doctor, Jo and the Brigadier encountered [[The Mentor (Death to the Doctor!)|the Mentor]], whom the Doctor considered an unoriginal fraud. The Brigadier pointed a gun at him. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Death to the Doctor! (comic story)|Death to the Doctor!]]'') Afterwards, the Doctor and Jo encountered what they believed to be ghosts, but they were actually [[Psion Orbs]], items made to project emotion.

The Doctor visited the Master at [[Aylesbury Grange]], where he was being held. The Master insisted he had changed, only to reveal he had escaped. The Doctor was speaking to a hologram. The Master nearly escaped, but was stopped by soldiers. The Doctor revealed he had been a hologram as well. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Man in the Ion Mask (comic story)|The Man in the Ion Mask]]'') In a later encounter, the Master created a device that switched his mind with the Doctor's. He went to [[the Doctor's TARDIS]], where he learned that the [[Time Lord]]s had rendered the TARDIS unpilotable by the Doctor. Before returning to the TARDIS, the Master asked the Brigadier to move him to a new holding facility with a good view and told [[Mike Yates]] to ask [[Jo Grant]] out on a date. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Switching]]'')
As the Doctor prepared to return to Earth on Jo's request, the TARDIS was drawn to the planet Far, a planet on the far limits of Earth's empire, where the Doctor had once assisted in the construction of a hypergate to help ships travelling long distances. Discovering that the abandoned planet had a platoon of Daleks on it, the Doctor and Jo were separated when they tried to escape, the Doctor falling into an underground chamber while Jo met a member of the local resistance. The Doctor was able to make his way to a Dalek fuelling station run by human slaves who had suffered serious mutations due to exposure to the radioactive substances the Daleks used for fuel, where he met Jickster, the admiral who had once been in charge of Far's defences and was now the least twisted of the Dalek slaves. Jickster and the Doctor were able to steal a Dalek saucer and reactivate the hypergate, allowing them to escape and make contact with an Earth Alliance fleet. Talking with Jickster, the Doctor learned that the Daleks had two secret weapons on Far; a Dalek army in stasis, numbering over a million Daleks, and a giant transmitter that would broadcast a signal enabling the Daleks to turn the attacking Earth fleet into Robomen slaves en masse once they got into range. Although Jo was nearly forced to help set a trap for the Doctor, the Doctor managed to return to Far in his stolen saucer, accompanied by an Earth Alliance strike team. The Doctor managed to reprogram the robotisation weapon to target the Dalek army, with the overload of Dalek instructions causing them to self-destruct, with the Alliance fleet eliminating the rest. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Conquest of Far (audio story)}})


==== The Master at large again ====
The Doctor then travelled to [[Catastrophea]], where he stopped [[Rekar]] from beating one of the natives. He was put on trial, with Rekar trying to use his power to win the cart over, but was freed, with punishment going to Rekar instead. Because of this, the Doctor became the icon of the revolution and was able to help them when Rekar's men took the TARDIS. He was also given the challenge of stopping [[Draconian]]s from taking over the planet. In the end, he was able to convince the Draconians to give time for the colonists to evacuate. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Catastrophea (novel)}}) Sometime afterwards, the Doctor and Jo Grant met with [[Iris Wildthyme]], where they visited [[Gertrude Stein]], and encountered [[Pablo Picasso]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Scarlet Empress (novel)}})
The Doctor and Jo visited the Master, now imprisoned on [[Fortress Island]]. He claimed to have reformed, but he refused to reveal the location of his TARDIS.

Foiling its plot by curing the cyber-worm infections, the Doctor managed to deactivate the Cyberman. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Piper (short story)}})
The Doctor learned that the Master had used Trenchard's sense of duty to manipulate him into stealing electrical equipment from the naval base to build a machine to control the Sea Devils. The Master hoped to use the reptiles to conquer the world and used the machine to summon them. The Doctor entered the Sea Devils' base and tried to encourage peaceful negotiation. Matters were left unresolved, however, when the base was destroyed with depth charges. With the Sea Devils destroyed, the Doctor was prepared to return the Master to prison, but was unable to do so as the Master once again made use of disguises and theft.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Forgotten (comic story)|The Forgotten]]'')
A clinic using technology from the future attracted the Doctor's interest when he and Jo learned of two [[suicide]]s where the victims' bodies had begun "evolving" before they died. The Doctor believed that the Master was involved before [[the Monk]] showed himself. When the Doctor confronted the Monk about his plans, the Monk tried to force the Doctor to help Doctor [[Kurdi (The Rise of the New Humans)|Kurdi]] perfect her serum by infecting Jo with a lethal virus that could only be cured by Kurdi's process. The Doctor was able to both perfect the serum and a means of negating it, but the situation was complicated when the test subjects in the clinic attacked the others, intending to spread out and convert all of humanity into the 'New Humans'. With the aid of a patient who had developed psychic powers to compensate for his quadriplegic body, the Doctor was able to devise a cure that could be dispersed through the clinic's air circulation system. The Doctor stole the Monk's dimensional buffers before his escape. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Rise of the New Humans (audio story)}})

After the TARDIS landed in the [[Lezarata Research Centre]], the Doctor went exploring and encountered the [[Second voice]] and went into a coma. He placed his mind on the research centre's main tape to avoid the Second voice, when Jo was placed on the same tape, he devised a way to stop the voice by swapping with Jo and tricking the voice into swapping back with Jo in order to get into the TARDIS. When the Voice did that, the Doctor swapped the tapes and erased the tape with the voice. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Ghost in the Machine (audio story)}})


The Doctor encountered [[Vogan (The Vogan Slaves)|Vogans]], who were keeping [[Crallican]]s as slaves. When the Vogans attempted to blow him up, they accidentally blew themselves up. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Vogan Slaves]]'')

[[Ruji]] had them become agents of the Draconian Secret Service. He powerglided to an Asteroid with [[Emerald Lindstrom]] to find information about a pink colbalt asteroid and then tortured him to get information about how to catalyse pink Colbalt. He reversed the polarity on the Lindstrom's platform to mean that it was attracted to the magnatoid. Using the [[Grand Widow]]'s recall device he call the TARDIS to escape and pick up Jo. The Time Lords wouldn't let the TARDIS return to Draconia to say goodbye to Ruji on Jo's request. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Conspiracy in Space (audio story)}})

Responding to a distress signal calling for the Doctor's help, the Doctor, Jo, and Yates arrived in London, on Christmas Day 2006, where the Doctor experienced a momentary energy drain as [[Tenth Doctor|a future incarnation]] absorbed some of his energy to sustain himself. Meeting [[Jackie Tyler]], who initially believed him to be a future incarnation of the Doctor she knew, the Third Doctor learnt that the [[Sycorax]] were invading, but the Tenth Doctor defeated them before his third incarnation could contribute to solving the crisis. However, the Third Doctor was able to free {{Delgado}} from attacking tinsel after he failed to make an alliance with the Sycorax, and he, Jo and Yates returned to UNIT as Jackie went to reunite with the Tenth Doctor. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Christmas Inversion (short story)}})

[[File:ThirdFinneyPOTD.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor and [[Finney]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Planet of the Daleks]]'')]] In a response to the Doctor's defeat of the Daleks, the Daleks placed a time vector around the TARDIS. When the Doctor dematerialised, he would be brought to [[Skaro]]. A phony scientist named [[Finney]] tried to steal the TARDIS, but they were both sent to Skaro. The Doctor defeated the Daleks by stampeding the animals on Skaro, killing all of the Daleks except the one in the TARDIS, who was destroyed in the time vectors. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Planet of the Daleks]]'')

Afterwards, the Doctor encountered an alien named General [[Steelfist]]. He was transported up to his ship, which he soon realised was only on top of a [[lighthouse]]. The Doctor discovered that the aliens were frauds, and that "Steelfist" was actually [[Arnie Babbs]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Steelfist]]'')
Depressed by Jo's departure, the Doctor went to the [[Speckled Woodpecker]], sharing a bottle of red wine with [[Jonathan Smith (She Knew)|Jonathan Smith]] who was split from his boyfriend [[Adrian Bullock|Adrian]]. The two men discussed their losses and decided to move forward. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|She Knew (short story)}}) The Doctor revisited Ronald in Whitby and learnt he'd got a new commission at sea, parting on good terms.

The Doctor had a scheduled meeting with [[Sir Henry Felton]], but he went missing before their meeting. The Doctor too was transported upon the ship, where he and Felton met their host, a friendly alien from [[Proxima Centauri]], who did not want the humans to discover matter transmission technology. Felton decided not to continue with his research into the field and the alien left. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Ride to Nowhere]]'')
The Doctor left UNIT for six months to go travelling to try and recuperate from losing Jo. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Deep Blue (novel)}}) After spending years inventing a device to save Jo from the time distortion, he travelled to the [[2010]]s and gave the device to [[Petronella Osgood]] so that she could track down Jo in the Vortex and pull her out, with only a few moments having passed for Jo and Osgood.

[[File:Doctor and Nick.jpg|thumb|The Doctor and [[Nick Wallard]], his young [[American|African American]] companion. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Zeron Invasion]]'')]]
The Doctor returned to Peladon, and found a refugee camp of [[Ice Warrior]]s displaced from [[New Mars]] during the [[Martian Civil War]]. Staying to offer his counsel to King Peladon, the Doctor discovered Peladon's spokesman for the refugees, Lord [[Vaarnak]], had been murdered. The next morning, Peladon told the Doctor the legend of the [[Prisoner of Peladon]], and the Doctor realised Lord [[Axlaar]] was the murderer of Lord Vaarnak, who had done so because his family had been dishonoured when Vaarnak didn't align with Grand Marshall Raxlyr, and that the Alpha Centauri was hiding Princess [[Lixgaar]] in the chamber.
The Doctor witnessed a [[Zeron]] bombing, but he was the only one to remember as he was in cover. He discovered the bomb had put everyone else in a trance. He attempted to warn the public, but was too late, as the Zerons began turning the citizens into slaves against him. He stopped them with the help of [[Nick Willard]], an [[American]] tourist who was also in cover. He turned on a force field that returned everyone to normal. The Zerons, recognising defeat, fled. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Zeron Invasion]]'')


The Doctor investigated the disappearances of a movie's cast. He discovered [[Jeremiah Scratch]], working with the [[Klepton Parasite]], had been trying to destroy television so children would do more educational things. Realising the error of his ways, Scratch destroyed the aliens' ray-gun. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Countdown to TV Action]]'')
The Doctor took King Peladon, Lord Axlaar and [[Sslurn]], Axlaar's accomplice, to the chamber of the Prisoner. There, the Doctor knocked at the chamber doors, which Centauri opened from inside. The Doctor called for Princess Lixgaar within the chamber, whom Axlaar threatened with his [[sonic disruptor]]. The Doctor attacked Axlaar in the chest; the blast of the disruptor hitting Sslurn. Axlaar took aim again at the princess, swatting the Doctor aside, and King Peladon threw himself at him in a blind rage, throwing him out a window. The next day, the Doctor informed Peladon that [[Izlyr]] arranged a peacekeeping ship to take the princess to [[Io]]. While Peladon spoke with Centauri, the Doctor quietly left in the TARDIS. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Prisoner of Peladon (audio story)}})


The Doctor was invited to a meeting held by the [[Abbot of Mai' Sung]], who wanted to destroy the scientists of the world with [[nerve gas]]. It did not work on the Doctor, however, and the Doctor confronted Mai-Sung. He was offered a share of the world. He declined, and set off a bomb in his house. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Deadly Choice]]'') Afterwards, the Doctor once more encountered [[Nazi]]s. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Who is the Stranger]]'')
The Doctor encountered [[Vogan (The Vogan Slaves)|Vogans]], who were keeping [[Crallican]]s as slaves and accidentally blew themselves up. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Vogan Slaves (comic story)}})


[[File:Three Solos Crystal.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor obtains a powerful radiation crystal from an ancestral [[Solos]] cave. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Mutants (TV story)|The Mutants]]'')]]
The Minister of Defence ordered the Doctor to investigate an incident in [[Puddlesfield]], where the crew of a new [[BBC (in-universe)|BBC]] show had turned into plastic. He discovered a mad professor named [[Midas]] had been turning people into plastic to do his bidding. The Doctor, with the help of the citizens, bounced his own ray back at him, destroying Midas. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Celluloid Midas (comic story)}})
The Time Lords ordered the Doctor to deliver an object to an unknown person in the [[30th century]], near the end of the [[Earth Empire]]. On the colony world of [[Solos]], the humans were becoming hideous mutants. The Doctor, with the help of Professor [[Sondergaard]], discovered the transformation was a natural part of the Solonian life cycle. A Solonian leader, [[Ky]], eventually went into his metamorphosis and killed the Marshal of Solos, who had been committing genocide against the mutants. The Doctor was instrumental in finding the crystal on Solos that was necessary to spark their final metamorphosis into a higher existence for the coming of the planet's long summer climate. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Mutants (TV story)|The Mutants]]'')


The Doctor discovered that the Master, in the guise of Professor Thascalos, had constructed a device known as TOMTIT - Transmission Of Matter Through Interstitial Time, and commissioned scientists Dr. [[Ruth Ingram]] and [[Stuart Hyde]] to further its work at the [[Newton Institute]]. He also easily hypnotised the director, Dr. [[Charles Percival]], into accepting him as a credible professor so that he would back TOMTIT's usage. This device let the Master pluck various objects from history out of their proper setting, such as [[Roundhead]]s and a German World War II bomber plane, and slow down time, which froze the Brigadier and UNIT troops in place for an extended period without them even knowing it. The Master's main goal was to summon the [[Chronovore]] [[Kronos]] and use its incredible might for conquest. It proved uncontrollable, consuming Dr. Percival.  
[[File:Abe Lincoln.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor and [[Abraham Lincoln]]. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Backtime (comic story)}})]]
The Doctor had his pocket picked in [[1867]] by [[Charlie Fisher]] and, to give the boy a new start, the Doctor took him in the TARDIS to America, but he forgot about the [[American Civil War]] and they landed in [[Gettysburg]], where the TARDIS was stolen by the Confederate army.

He dropped Charlie off in [[Ballarat]], just twelve years after the gold rush. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Backtime (comic story)}})


The Master summoned the priest [[Krasis]] from the past to learn how he could completely harness Kronos by finding the other half of the crystal that held its essence. The Doctor was put in a situation of unusually high peril when he accidentally materialised his TARDIS inside the Master's, locking both in a [[space loop]]. After much arguing between him and the Doctor, the Master forcibly separated their TARDIS, but launched the Doctor into the [[time vortex]]. Fortunately, the Doctor used his [[Binary cardiovascular system]] and the [[telepathic circuit]]s of his TARDIS to communicate with Jo and instruct her to materialise him back in his TARDIS by using an emergency switch on the console.
The Doctor and [[Dave Lester]] encountered professor [[Rayner]], who was trying to create killer plants, one of which killed Rayner and then perished. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Plant Master (comic story)}}) The Doctor was captured by [[Time Police]] from [[New London]] and sentenced to death, but he escaped with the help of his new time-travelling friend [[Theophilus Tolliver]]. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Eternal Present (comic story)}})


The Doctor, Jo and the Master travelled to ancient [[Atlantis]] for the other half of the crystal needed to control Kronos, where the Doctor and Jo temporarily enjoyed victory over the Master. Not only did they surprise him for undoing what he thought would surely spell the end for the Doctor, the extremely wise and long-lived Atlantean [[King]] [[Dalios]] outwitted his hypnosis and saw through his plan to steal the crystal for himself. However, the Master's charm won over Dalios's wife,  [[Queen]] [[Galleia]], making her turn against Dalios's rule.  
While touring [[Antarctic Weather Research Station 12]] with Lieutenant [[Davis (*Sub Zero)|Davis]], the Doctor saw [[Clegg (*Sub Zero)|Clegg]], a crewmember of the [[USS Jefferson|USS ''Jefferson'']], enter the research station, mentioning the ''Jefferson'' had gone and "doors in the ice" before dying. When the Doctor and Davis returned from their failed search of the nuclear submarine, they found the weather station had been destroyed. Following the tracks of a sledge, they found a giant doorway into a glacier, where the Daleks had taken the ''Jefferson'' after they had patiently waited centuries for the human race to advance to a point where the Daleks could use humankind's technology against them.


[[File:Doctor talking about his black day.jpg|thumb|right|The Doctor recounts a pleasant memory from his youth to comfort Jo whilst imprisoned in [[Atlantis]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time Monster]]'')]]
After the Doctor failed to warn [[Sydney]] in time, the Daleks launched [[Polaris missile]]s from the submarine into the harbour, destroying [[Sydney Harbour Bridge]]. Pretending to be mind-controlled humans in Dalek-occupied Sydney, the Doctor and Davis sneaked into a Dalek factory and discovered the Daleks planned to convert the human race into Daleks. The Doctor escaped into the harbour and climbed what remained of Sydney Harbour Bridge to draw the ''Jefferson'', and the Daleks on board closer. Davis threw a live cable at the submarine, killing the Daleks on board and stopping their invasion. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|*Sub Zero (comic story)}}) In a response to the Doctor's defeat of them, the Daleks placed a time vector around the TARDIS. The Doctor defeated the Daleks by stampeding the animals on Skaro, killing all of the Daleks. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Planet of the Daleks (comic story)}})
The Doctor and Jo were locked in a dungeon, where the Doctor told his companion about a hermit on Gallifrey who taught him how to see the beauty in life when he was feeling distressed. He later fought the [[minotaur]], a man mutated by the power of Chronos into a half-human, half-beast. The minotaur claimed the life of the Atlantean [[Hippias]] before the Doctor defeated it. When a guard killed Dalios, Galleia turned against the Master in anger. The Atlanteans summoned Kronos with the crystal, resulting in the city's destruction. Kronos was set free and the Doctor and the Master escaped the destruction, but took Jo got taken hostage in his TARDIS. The Doctor offered a final ultimatum that he would [[time ram]] the Master's TARDIS, but the Master knew he would not risk Jo's safety. Jo, however, tried to carry out the time ram on her own.


To their surprise, Kronos itself intervened and told the Doctor and Jo that it was above good and evil. It would grant any wish they desired, but wanted to inflict an everlasting punishment on the Master for trying to control it. The Doctor, showing sympathy for his old friend, knew that this fate was too cruel even for him. He asked Jo, "Would you condemn anybody to an eternity of torment? Even the Master?", aware that although what he in Atlantis did was horrible, it happened long ago in the past from a historical perspective and should not linger in their memories. He asked that the Master be spared and that he and Jo were sent home to Earth. They returned to Cambridge and found Benton recovering from a regression to a [[baby]] because of the TOMTIT experiments, but yet to recover his clothes. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time Monster]]'')
The Doctor went to the year [[5000]], where he saw society had been split into two groups; the [[Norm]]s and the [[Mute (species)|Mutes]]. The Doctor, with his new companion [[Brod (A Stitch in Time)|Brod]], went to [[1873]], where he met Professor [[Theodore Cassells]], whose research would later cause the mutant disease. He told him of the future, and the Professor sent everyone into a frenzy and all the crew jumped off the ship, thus fixing the future. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|A Stitch in Time (TVA comic story)}})


The Doctor and Jo noticed they were only able to say the vowels "o" and "y." It was because [[Kobold]]s had come to Earth. The Doctor realised he had once landed on their home planet in a failed attempt to escape Earth and the TARDIS' translation circuit had changed the vowels "o" and "y" and nothing else before it had slipped back to the present. The Kobolds eventually receded or were killed. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Morphology]]'')
The Doctor encountered a spaceship from a [[negative galaxy]] whose inhabitants wanted to move Earth to their galaxy. The Doctor stopped them by setting off the nuclear warheads in their ship, destroying it. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Enemy from Nowhere (comic story)}}) The Doctor was then forcibly moved halfway across the universe by the [[Ugrakk]]s, who wanted to use the Doctor's TARDIS to move to a new planet. The Doctor discovered that the Ugrakks were in a war with the [[Zama fly]]s, whom he grabbed on to when escaping. He helped hatch more Zama flies, which destroyed the Ugrakks. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Ugrakks (comic story)}}) Afterwards, the Doctor was transported up to General Steelfist's ship, where he soon realised that "Steelfist" was actually [[Arnie Babbs]]. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Steelfist (comic story)}})


Miss [[Prentice (Listen - The Stars)|Prentice]] was possessed by [[Zex]]. She/he took over UNIT, but was stopped by the Doctor, who had created a machine to separate the two souls. Zex was banished and Prentice returned to normal. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Listen - The Stars]]'')
The Doctor had a scheduled meeting with [[Sir]] [[Henry Felton]], but he and Felton were kidnapped by a friendly alien from [[Proxima Centauri (planet)|Proxima Centauri]], who did not want the humans to discover matter transmission technology. Felton decided not to continue with his research into the field and the alien left. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Ride to Nowhere (comic story)}})


The Doctor and Jo investigated a sunken [[UN]] ship attacked by robots from another era, only to discover underneath the water was a portal to [[Ekaypia]], where the Master had hypnotised the [[Ekayprian]]s into making him their leader. He planned to teleport his army to Earth, and locked up the Doctor. The Doctor hypnotised the guard in the same way and then switched the circuits on the Master's matter transporter before escaping. The Master switched on the machine and it blew up. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Time Thief (comic story)|The Time Thief]]'')
The Doctor discovered a [[Zeron (Zeron Invasion)|Zeron]] bomb and attempted to warn the public, but the Zerons turned the citizens into slaves against him. He stopped them with the help of [[Nick Willard]] and turned on a force field that returned everyone to normal. The Zerons, recognising defeat, fled. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Zeron Invasion (comic story)}})


Aliens landed on Earth and began draining energy from it. The Doctor confronted them. They were peaceful, only wanting to stop the spread of [[Molag seed]]s. The Doctor was able to stop the Molags and the new aliens. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Menace of the Molags]]'')
The Doctor investigated the disappearances of a movie's cast, and discovered [[Jeremiah Scratch]], working with the [[Klepton Parasite]], had been trying to destroy television so children would do more educational things. Realising the error of his ways, Scratch destroyed the aliens' ray-gun. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Countdown to TV Action (short story)}})


At Christmas, the Doctor was on a train. He tried to speak with a drunk man, who disappeared with a flash. Jo was relieved but the Doctor looked sad, saying the man had gone too far. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Jigsaw]]'')
The Doctor was invited to a meeting held by the [[Abbot of Mai' Sung]], who wanted to destroy the scientists of the world with [[nerve gas]]. It did not work on the Doctor, however, and the Doctor confronted Mai-Sung. He was offered a share of the world, but declined, and set off a bomb in his house. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Deadly Choice (comic story)}})


[[File:Target_Practice.jpg|thumb|The Doctor considers (or pretends to) becoming the scientist for the [[Soviet Union]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Target Practice (comic story)|Target Practice]]'')]]
On a fishing trip in [[Scotland]], the Doctor joined a group of archaeologists to investigate the legendary "Glen of Sleeping", only to discover {{Delgado}} amongst the group. He stopped the Master from using the Polaris missiles aboard a submarine to destroy every city in Britain, which he used as a ransom so that he could steal the Doctor's TARDIS. In stopping him, the Doctor accidentally transported himself, the Master and the submarine to [[1745]]. Tricking the Master into helping him deal with the [[Redcoat]]s, the Doctor secretly used chronons to cross back to the 1970s, leaving the Master in the hands of Red Angus and the angry Scotsmen. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Glen of Sleeping (comic story)}})
The Doctor and Jo were brought to a new training base, [[Base 43]], where dummies of old adversaries were kept. There they met Colonel [[Ashe]], who revealed himself a [[Russian]] spy sent to recruit the Doctor. The Doctor agreed, only to knock the man out just as the Brigadier walked in. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Target Practice (comic story)|Target Practice]]'')


The Doctor met [[Iris Wildthyme]], who helped him encounter robot sheep, aliens who looked like book characters and an alien named [[Verdigris (chemistry)|Verdigris]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Verdigris (novel)|Verdigris]]'')
The Doctor visited Athens, spent some time with Archimedes, spent two weeks in [[1925]] [[Brooklyn]] tracking down [[Studs Maloney]], and nearly lost a leg to a Sclaponian dragonfly. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Island of Death (novel)}}) He then re-encountered the Daleks, whom he was able to defeat with the help of the [[Royal Navy]]. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Threat from Beneath (comic story)}})


[[File:Doctors_2_%26_3.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor with his [[Second Doctor|previous incarnation]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Three Doctors]]'')]]
Returning to work at UNIT, the Doctor and the Brigadier went on the trail of [[Hingrad]], one of the universe's greatest criminals. The Doctor was taken hostage in the vaults of the [[Tower of London]], but escaped his clutches, and imprisoned Hingrad beneath the [[River Thames]]. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Secret of the Tower (comic story)}})
A superluminal signal was sent to Earth, carrying with it an unusual energy blob that seemed intent on capturing the Doctor. On [[Gallifrey]], the Time Lords broke the first law of time to bring the [[First Doctor|first]] and [[Second Doctor|second]] incarnations of the Doctor to help the third. The first incarnation was trapped in a time eddy. Unable to fully materialise, he could only communicate via the TARDIS scanner.


The Second and Third Doctors found [[Omega]] behind the mysterious disappearances. They prevented him from reinserting himself into the world of matter from his [[anti-matter]] domain by blowing it up with a mix of regular matter and anti-matter. As a reward for his services, the Doctor's exile was lifted and he returned to the TARDIS with Jo for more adventures in time and space. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Three Doctors]]'')
The Doctor next landed on a planet about to be destroyed by a [[supernova]] in order to recover a new supply of [[marlenium]] for the TARDIS, and discovered many [[child]]ren, whom he took to a new planet to live out their lives. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Labyrinth (comic story)}})


=== Freedom ===
The Doctor and his new friend, [[Tom Phipps]], were abducted and put in an alien [[zoo]]. The Doctor, however, was able to make the ship send him and the other aliens to their respective homes. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Vortex (comic story)}})
==== Jo Grant ====
The Doctor continued to work for [[Unified Intelligence Taskforce|UNIT]], though his presence on Earth was now more intermittent.


The Doctor and Jo were joined by Liz Shaw for the TARDIS' maiden voyage. They travelled to [[December]], [[1916]], where they encountered [[Rasputin|Gregory Rasputin]], a famous psychic. Liz was brought to authorities after it was learned she disliked him because of her knowledge of history. The authorities, who also disliked him, invited him to a house, where they planned to kill him by poison. Jo saw the men poisoning his food and - thinking that it was a plan to kill everyone - replaced it with wholesome food. [[Felix Mather]], noticing that he had not died from the poisoning, shot him in the back, then went to celebrate. Rasputin, who had survived the shot, tried to leave, but was gunned down again and then dumped in a lake. The Doctor tried to save him, but was too late. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Wages of Sin]]'')
[[The Doctor's TARDIS]] travelled through the [[30th century]] and encountered a planet that was not supposed to be there. [[Star Beast|The planet was alive]] and swallowed the TARDIS. The Doctor met [[Harry Trant]], also stranded, and they worked together to get eaten by a parasitic amoeba on the planet's surface, which in turn was eaten by the planet. They reached the TARDIS in the stomach, and the Doctor materialised at the heart, telling Harry to shoot it. He did so hesitantly and the planet screamed as it died. The Doctor told him that, though killing was not a pleasant duty, the planet needed to be killed because of its size, and then took him to his home planet. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Hungry Planet (comic story)}})


The Doctor and Jo travelled through time to kill a baby who would grow up to be a dictator, but could not do it. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Categorical Imperative]]'') They were sent to a planet where a computer put them through many deadly games and quizzes. The Doctor defeated it by asking a question impossible to answer. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The House That Jack Built (short story)|The House That Jack Built]]'')
=== Jo's return ===

The Doctor and Jo encountered a creature which wished to live forever but needed the Doctor's body to do so. Jo overcame its hypnotism and the creature died. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Revenge of the Phantoms (short story)|Revenge of the Phantoms]]'')
=== Assisted by Arnold ===
[[File:GoodbyeArnoldAmateur.jpg|thumb|The Doctor gives his farewell to Arnold. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Amateur (comic story)}})]]
After Tom left his side, the Doctor travelled to the [[32nd century]], where he discovered children ruled the planet and the adults were slaves. He was able to cause a revolt, and gained a new companion, [[Arnold (Children of the Evil Eye)|Arnold]]. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Children of the Evil Eye (comic story)}})


Back at UNIT HQ, the Doctor detected a hole in the space-time continuum and tried to close it, but first was reunited with Jo. She had been sent to another Earth in an unstable state, which had caused the other Jo to seem to die. The Doctor had sent a message to his other self to retrieve his Jo. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Dead on Arrival (comic story)|Dead on Arrival]]'')
Arnold and the Doctor later encountered [[Spidron]]s and [[dinosaur]]s. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Nova (TVC comic story)}}) Afterwards, the Doctor returned Arnold to his own time. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Amateur (comic story)}})


The Doctor visited [[Freedonia (planet)|Freedonia]], a planet that he had been to before when helping in a revolution. He discovered the people were now slaves to [[Kamoa]], one of the leaders of the revolution who was now nothing more than a brain. Jo convinced [[Bolgar]], one of Kamoa's servants, to unplug the brain, freeing the people. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[After the Revolution (comic story)|After the Revolution]]'')

The Doctor and Jo travelled to [[Oxford]] in the [[21st century]], where they encountered a man who had nearly died of dehydration while inside the stacks in the library. Inside, the Doctor discovered a group of [[Tynakar]]s, an alien species that had been stealing books in order to remove the information inside from Earth's future. The Doctor was able to overload their dimensional penetration device and they fled, releasing thousands of books. The Doctor and Jo then decided to leave before they could be asked any questions. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Losing Track of Time]]'')
The Doctor attended a peace conference and granted his old friend, [[Stuart Mallory]], permission to go on a mission to [[Antarctica]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Last Emperor (short story)}})


The Doctor then encountered an underwater prison, where multiple women had been trapped as a punishment for ten years, with eight years remaining. The Doctor, agreeing that their punishment was cruel and unreasonable, raised the prison above the sea. Outside, thousands of other prisons surfaced besides them. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Deep Stretch]]'')
During a visit to the [[River Nile]] in [[1898]], the Doctor argued with [[Winston Churchill]] about the best self-defence, but the two became friendlier after a duel. Afterwards, the Doctor and Winston encountered [[Osiran service robot]]s and the "last of the [[Osirian]]s". ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Lost Diaries of Winston Spencer Churchill (short story)}})


[[File:Carnival ep2.JPG|thumb|left|The Doctor and Jo try to escape a [[miniscope]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Carnival of Monsters]]'')]]
=== Involvement with his other incarnations ===
The Doctor and Jo wound up on the [[SS Bernice|SS ''Bernice'']], a cargo ship crossing the Indian Ocean. A monster appeared in the sea, events repeated themselves, and a giant hand stole the TARDIS. Investigation revealed that they were inside a [[miniscope]], an alien peepshow sporting numerous miniaturised environments, which showman [[Vorg]] and his assistant Shirna had brought to amuse the populace of the planet [[Inter Minor]]. After leaving the miniscope, the Doctor returned the creatures home and destroyed the machine, allowing him to return to normal size. He was nearly stopped in his attempts by a corrupt member of the Inter Minor government as they were paranoid about cleanliness. ([[TV]]: ''[[Carnival of Monsters]]'') The Doctor then encountered extreme temporal anomalies, which he was eventually able to stop. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Suns of Caresh]]'')
The Doctor frequently visited the [[Diogenes Club]], where he met [[Mycroft Holmes]], but was thrown out when his [[seventh incarnation]] showed him the answer to the [[crossword]] he was doing, causing the Doctor to shout at his older self, breaking the rules of silence. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|All-Consuming Fire (novel)}})


The Doctor and Jo then visited a rock concert on the planet [[Rishik]], where an [[earthquake]] occurred. The Doctor rushed back to the TARDIS, where he discovered that the quake had affected the entire planet except for the house of [[Genus Fry]], the planet's most famous rock star. The Doctor discovered that Fry was a psychic, who could see into the future, but for the last ten years could only see darkness. He was visited by [[Oke]] and [[Erm]], two [[Rock]]-based [[Tun]]s, who revealed that the planet had nuclear power stations on each side, which caused a threat to the the planet. He thus agreed to help create the earthquakes, choosing the lesser of two evils. He was shocked to find them running out of control. The Doctor was able to stop the earthquakes with Fry's help, but Fry died in the process. His mind, however, was placed into a spare Tun body, and the Doctor stated that now he was a true "rock star." ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rock Star]]'')
The Third Doctor was taken out of his timezone by the [[Father of Time]] to partake in "the Final Test". He was brought to a TARDIS control console room from his future alongside his [[Second Doctor|second]], [[Fourth Doctor|fourth]], [[Fifth Doctor|fifth]] and [[sixth incarnation]]s, and told that Time had disassembled the control console and set the TARDIS on a course for the heart of the sun, with the Doctors' only hope being to reassemble the control console. Unable to achieve the task due to their bickering, the Doctors were saved when the [[First Doctor]] united them in reversing time itself with their pooled temporal powers. As the TARDIS escaped the sun, the Father of Time congratulated the Doctor and sent them back to their own times. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Test of Time (comic story)}})


They then took a trip to the Bermuda Triangle so that Jo could sun tan, but they were surprised to discover a tall man lived on the island. The man thought them to be gifts from God and [[Santa Claus]] and did not ask to be rescued. They left without him. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lost and Founded]]'')
The Third Doctor acted as a jury member of the [[First Doctor]]'s trial, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Juror's Story (short story)}}) visited [[Clio (The Glass Princess)|Clio]] on her birthday to give her an empty box containing [[hope]] as a present, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Glass Princess (short story)}}) and attended a private Christmas party hosted by the First Doctor. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Feast of Seven... Eight and Nine (short story)}})


Jo and the Doctor then went to a desert planet, where there were two sisters, [[Sophia (Once upon a Time Machine)|Sophia]] and [[Alice (Once upon a Time Machine)|Alice]], who were competing to become queen. Sophia had won in all of the matches, until the Doctor's. The final task was to guess the three objects in a sealed temple. Sophia (who had cheated by looking) guessed a crown, a sceptre and a mace, but Alice predicted that it was a [[yoyo]], an [[umbrella]], and a [[Jelly Baby|bag of sweets]]. Alice was correct, and was crowned queen. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Once upon a Time Machine]]'')
The Third Doctor teamed up with all of his other incarnations to save Gallifrey from destruction at the end of the [[Last Great Time War]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (TV story)}}) even joining them on the surface of the planet to save people from natural disasters that were occurring as a result of their attempt to shift it into another dimension. Shortly after meeting for [[tea]] with his other incarnations to celebrate in the [[Under Gallery]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)}}) the Third Doctor lost all memory of the events due to the timelines not being synchronised. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (TV story)}})


The Doctor and Jo then encountered an alien known as [[Rowe]], who put them through multiple death scenarios. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Many Deaths of Jo Grant]]'')
[[File:Day of the Tune The Who.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor tries to reason with himself. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Day of the Tune (comic story)}})]]
The Third Doctor attempted to form a band with his first, second and fourth incarnations, but creative differences, and the fact that they all wanted to play the [[drum]]s, broke them up. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Day of the Tune (comic story)}}) Aided by his other incarnations and their companions, the Third Doctor 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]]: {{cs|Comic Relief Comic (comic story)}})


Upon arriving on an Earth freighter the Doctor and Jo were caught up in the escalating tension between planets [[Earth]] and [[Draconia]]. The Doctor landed his ship in an Earth cargo ship to avoid a collision, but could not properly speak to the crew, as Ogrons boarded it, making off with the TARDIS. Unfortunately, a strange noise caused the human crew to see the Ogrons as though they were Draconians, and they believed the Doctor and Jo had led them onto the ship as spies for Draconia. The two of them were imprisoned on Earth and unable to convince their captors that they were innocent. However, Draconians thought the Doctor was their ally and freed him, only for the humans to recapture him and subject the Doctor to a [[mind probe]]. He was entirely truthful, but unaware his credibility had been damaged by a false record of crimes.
The Doctor travelled with Lord [[Joshua Douglas]] for ten years, ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Catalyst (audio story)}}, {{cs|The Time Vampire (audio story)}}) and accidentally took the Brigadier with him to a far off planet after he received a distress signal, landing in a replica of Waterloo Station. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Three Companions (audio story)}})


The Doctor was sent to a penal colony on the Moon, where the Peace Party plotted an escape, while Ogrons suddenly attacked the guards around Jo's cell and she was greeted by the Master. He was posing as a commissioner from [[Sirius IV]] and forged records for the Doctor and Jo detailing an extensive docket of "crimes" they had committed, so he could take them off to be tried on the planet under its jurisdiction. He arranged for the release of the Doctor from the penal colony after intervening with a sabotage of the Peace Party's escape plot. They soon discovered that the Master was secretly working with the Ogrons to provoke the two sides into all-out war under the orders of the Daleks, using [[hypnosound]] technology to confuse them into thinking humans and Draconians were attacking each other. His plans to kidnap them failed once the Doctor escaped the holding cell in the Master's stolen prison transport, climbed out in a spacesuit and reentered through the airlock, then crept into the cockpit and distracted him from piloting the ship. The ship went off course and violated Draconian territory, causing Draconians to seize control of it and bring the Doctor, Jo, and the Master to their home world to face judgement by their own emperor. However, the Master had quietly summoned Ogron aide that soon honed in on him.
Craving a new companion, the Doctor invited [[Victoria Waterfield]] back into the TARDIS, but she declined. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Downtime (novelisation)}}) The Doctor eventually returned to UNIT at [[Christmas]]. Both without companionship, the Doctor and Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart spent Christmas together at [[Smithwood Manor|the Doctor's country house]] on Allen Road. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Faithful Friends: Part 1 (short story)}})


[[File:Draconian Emperor allows expedition.jpg|thumb|right|The Draconian Emperor permits the Doctor to mount an expedition to the Ogron planet. ([[TV]]: ''[[Frontier in Space]]'')]]
While tinkering with Bessie, the Doctor was contacted by [[Bernice Summerfield]], and told that the [[Sirens of Time]] had hijacked the first Gallifreyan experiment of time travel, turning it into a [[time paradox]] that was splitting the universe apart. While the experiment had already been stopped, the Time Lords were in danger of not discovering time travel. Along with his next five incarnations, the Third Doctor was brought to the planet [[Henlen]] to serve as one of the six pilots needed to handle the TARDIS prototype, while his two previous incarnations and the [[Tenth Doctor]] stayed behind to deal with the possible backlash. The experiment was successful, restoring the correct timeline and the Third Doctor was taken back to his own time by Benny. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Collision Course (audio story)}})
Fortunately, the Doctor had a past history with a previous emperor of Draconian and was entitled a Draconian noble long ago. He was able to convince the Emperor that they were being tricked into attacking humans once the Master's Ogron henchmen retrieved him and attacked under hypnosound cover. One Ogron did not make it out of the citadel and his hypnosound cover wore off. The emperor let the Doctor mount an expedition to the Ogron planet, so long as a Draconian of noble rank headed it. He sent the Doctor back to Earth with his son, the prince of Draconia, to convince the president they had been wronged, but the Master sent the Ogrons to attack them and they captured Jo. Unable to turn back because Earth and Draconia were on the brink of war, The Doctor continued to Earth and explained the deception to its predident. He also had to reason with the unyielding [[General]] [[John Williams]], who accidentally caused [[Human-Draconian War|war between humans and Draconians]] following a neutron storm that knocked out communications and caused him to mistake a Draconian battle cruiser for hostile. He joined the expedition the Ogron planet and the group rescued Jo after she managed to resist the Master's hypnosound technology and radioed for help.


The Master anticipated the arrival of the Doctor and Jo's distress message, having both the Ogrons and Daleks wait for their arrival. He captured the expedition group and promised a [[Gold Dalek|gold Dalek]] that he would turn over the Doctor to the Daleks for extermination once he had been allowed to witness the Doctor's reaction to the destruction of Earth. Luckily, Jo had pocketed the Master's hypnosound device, and the Doctor used it to frighten the Ogrons into thinking their Dalek masters were terrorising them. In this panic, the Master cornered the Doctor and Jo before they retrieved the TARDIS, pointing a blaster at the Doctor, but he turned on the hypnosound again and the Ogrons darted away in terror. They jostled the Master and made him fire the gun by accident. Though Jo wrested the gun from the Master as he was swept out of the room by their lumbering bodies, his shot had grazed the Doctor's forehead and badly wounded him. The Doctor, barely conscious, asked Jo to help him into the TARDIS. He sent a message to the Time Lords, asking them to pilot his TARDIS and follow the Daleks to their new base. ([[TV]]: ''[[Frontier in Space]]'')
=== Meeting Sarah Jane Smith ===
[[File:Timewarrior ep4.JPG|thumb|left|The new TARDIS team. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Time Warrior (TV story)}})]]
Journalist [[Sarah Jane Smith]] impersonated her aunt, virologist [[Lavinia Smith]], to gain access to a UNIT research centre. Top scientists were being held there in protective custody while the Doctor investigated the disappearances of their colleagues.


[[File:Taron Doctor Invisible Dalek.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor is surprised to see the Daleks have harnessed the power of invisibility. ([[TV]]: ''[[Planet of the Daleks]]'')]]
The missing scientists had been kidnapped by a [[Sontaran]] commander named [[Linx]], and taken to England in the [[Middle Ages]], where they were working under hypnosis to repair his crashed spaceship. The Doctor helped return the scientists home with Linx's [[osmic projector]]. The premature take-off of the Sontaran ship caused the destruction of [[Irongron]]'s castle, along with the anachronistic weapons Linx had provided to Irongron. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Time Warrior (TV story)}})


Jo brought the Doctor over to a collapsible bed within the TARDIS console room so he could lie down and rest. The Doctor told Jo he would heal, but it would take time. He gave her a tricorder to log anything unusual that happened while he was unconscious, and drifted into a temporary coma. Once the TARDIS landed on the planet [[Spiridon]], where the Daleks had set up their base, the Doctor's heartbeats began to slow down alarmingly and he started to freeze because of the frigid climate outside. However, a shift from night to day brought a change in climate into a tropical environment.  
The Doctor, Sarah, [[Jeremy Fitzoliver]] and the Brigadier went to [[Space World]], a new amusement park, to investigate a death that had occurred nearby. The park was run by [[Naglon]]s disguised as humans, who wanted to hypnotise the humans to do their bidding. The aliens left Earth, but not before they captured Sarah and Jeremy. The Doctor and the Brigadier travelled to [[Parakon]] to retrieve them. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Paradise of Death (audio story)}})


Jo explored the planet and sought assistance for the Doctor, meeting a guerrilla group of [[Thal]]s. She sent them his way so he could receive care, but the Doctor recovered on his own when Spiridon had an extreme jump in temperature at daybreak. After the Doctor regained consciousness, his life was put at risk once again when the automatic oxygen of the TARDIS suddenly ran out and he had to switch to the reserve supply. He did not see that the doors of his TARDIS had been complete encrusted with fungal spores being spewed from the native [[sponge-plant]]s surrounding the ship. The Thals immediately hacked through the spores and saved the Doctor from suffocating inside the airless seal. He recognised their descent and explained how he had a [[The Daleks (TV story)|past encounter]] with a group of Thals under Dalek oppression, which was now a legend among the Thal people. He then wanted to find Jo to show her he was now healthy. However, Jo had also been caught off guard by the sponge-plants and got [[Fungoid infection|infected]] when one sprayed her arm. She was saved by a Spiridon named [[Wester]] when he took her away from the Thal's ship after she collapsed from the spreading spores, and provided a cure for the deadly infection. The Doctor was led to believe the Daleks murdered her when they found the Thal's spacecraft and destroyed it. He eventually found Jo alive and safe, learning that the Spiridons were a peaceful race forced into violence and experimentation by the Daleks.
=== Exploits with Sarah ===

The group tried to stop the Daleks from gaining the invisibility of the native humanoid species, having trouble with the ill-tempered and very brash [[Vaber]] when he decided to formulate an attack on the Daleks after [[Taron]] had hesistated to do anything quickly. Vaber thought Taron was too hung up on precautionary measures, because the mission commander, a man of action, had died after a crash landing, and Taron fiercely protected his sweetheart, [[Rebec]], upset that the woman he loved dearly had gravely risked her life by coming to assist them. Eventually, Vaber caught by the Spiridons and later killed by the Daleks when he tried to run for his life, and Taron continued his mission with a bit more respect formed toward Rebec. The group discovered a base with more than ten thousand Daleks hibernating and buried the Daleks deep in the ground, and the Doctor figured out they were vulnerable to extreme cold after noticing they slowed down during the nightfall that brought temperatures below freezing on Spiridon. The Daleks were eliminated by using the natural eruptions of liquid ice on Spiridon against them, liberating the Thals a second time, the captive Spiridons, and removing the danger the ten thousand-strong Dalek army posed to other neighbouring races in the galaxy. ([[TV]]: ''[[Planet of the Daleks]]'')
During a visit to [[Varium III]], the Doctor and Sarah were accused of sending down streaks of fire that had destroyed the crops of the planet, and were sentenced to death by Marshal [[Zona]]. However, the Doctor was able to convince Zona to give him time to help, and he found out that a rare storm on Varium III, combined with its stable climate and weak sun, had awoken a virus that had wiped out the vegetation. After some failed trials, the Doctor discovered that sodium chloride was the key to stopping the virus, and helped Zona build pumps to pump seawater from the nearby ocean onto the land, and also taught the people how to fish to give them a different source of food. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Scorched Earth (short story)}})


The Doctor then travelled to [[Catastrophea]], where he stopped a man named [[Rekar]] from beating one of the natives. He was put on trial, with Rekar trying to use his power to win the cart over, but was freed, with punishment going to Rekar instead. Because of this, he became the icon of the revolution and was able to help them when Rekar's men took the TARDIS. He was also given the challenge of stopping [[Draconian]]s from taking over the planet. In the end, he was able to convince the Draconians to give time for the colonists to evacuate, leaving the people to live out their destiny. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Catastrophea (novel)|Catastrophea]]'')
A large cloud of deadly gas created from the destruction of a star nearly destroyed Earth, but the Doctor was able to discern that it was not natural, and was, in fact, an attempt by the [[Zircon (species)|Zircon]] to wipe out Earth. The Doctor and Sarah alerted the Brigadier and the [[Prime Minister (Doomcloud)|Prime Minister]]. The Doctor was able to use the satellites of Earth to set off an explosion to destroy the cloud and the Zircon. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Doomcloud (comic story)}})


Soon after leaving Spiridon, The Doctor and Jo Grant met with [[Iris Wildthyme]], where they visited [[Gertrude Stein]], and encountered [[Pablo Picasso]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Scarlet Empress]]'')
The Doctor and Sarah then accidentally travelled into a [[Parallel Earth (Who's Who?)|parallel Earth]] where they were human criminals. They were able to escape by travelling into a [[primitive Earth]], where they left their counterparts, returning home. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Who's Who? (comic story)}})

[[File:Third Doctor Taking Aim.jpg|thumb|The Doctor aims his [[Dinosaur stun gun|stun gun]] at an [[apatosaurus]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Invasion of the Dinosaurs (TV story)}})]]
Sidetracked to the planet [[Nooma]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Speed of Flight]]'') the Third Doctor and Jo visited the planet [[Karfel]] and encountered the [[Borad]] and [[Katz]]'s grandfather there. A painting was later completed in his honour on Karfel. ([[TV]]: ''[[Timelash (TV story)|Timelash]]'') During their travels together, the Doctor and Jo met [[Harry Houdini]] at some point prior to the [[1920s]]. He learned of the [[Bay City Rollers]] from Jo. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Smoke and Mirrors (audio story)|Smoke and Mirrors]]'')
The Doctor and Sarah arrived in [[1970s]] London to find that it had been evacuated because of [[dinosaur]]s. The dinosaurs were being brought to London through [[time eddy]]s in a plan to revert Earth to a pre-technological level. The masterminds behind the [[Operation Golden Age]] scheme, [[Whitaker (Invasion of the Dinosaurs)|Whitaker]] and [[Charles Grover]], were accidentally transported to pre-historic Earth. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Invasion of the Dinosaurs (TV story)}})


[[File:Destiny of the Third Doctor.jpg|thumb|The Doctor is captured by the Master. ([[GAME]]: ''[[Destiny of the Doctors]]'')]]
Attempting to travel to Florana, the Doctor and Sarah arrived at [[Neptune (planet)|Cerulean]], which was being attacked by missiles from the planet [[Sedna]]. The Doctor was able to create a barrier, and the aliens soon began to speak of peace, requesting that the Doctor represent the planet Cerulean, but, before he could, he detected a future version of his TARDIS about to crash into his and left. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Neptune (short story)}})
After several attempts to get to [[Metebelis III]], the Doctor landed his TARDIS there. He was attacked by violent beings. While on the planet he took a certain blue crystal. He attempted to go home ([[TV]]: ''[[The Green Death]]'') but was captured by {{Ainley|}}, who had also captured the other first seven Doctors. [[The Graak]] helped defeat the Master and free the Doctors, and they were all sent home. ([[GAME]]: ''[[Destiny of the Doctors]]'')


=== Parting with Jo ===
Still en route to Florana, the TARDIS ran afoul of a device that neutralised its power, causing it to crash on the planet [[Exxilon]]. Forced to postpone their travel plans, the Doctor and Sarah were met by the [[Exxilon (species)|primitive natives]] with aggression. Their issues compounded when they met other parties afflicted by the same device. The Doctor encountered [[Marine Space Corps]] members seeking [[Parrinium]], a cure for a space-plague, who were starting to grow restless and fearful after losing some of the crew's commanders, which left [[Dan Galloway]] in charge and on edge. The [[Dalek]]s also landed for the same purpose. The Doctor and the Daleks discovered the [[Great City of the Exxilons]], a large city with a power-disrupting tower preventing technology from working. The natives had become victims of their own technology when it gained sentience and drove them out of their city. This forced them into the wilderness with no means of technology, where they remained for so long it caused them to regress to more primitive ways and worship the city that destroyed them.

Returning to Earth, he joined the Brigadier and Jo at Llanfairfach, where UNIT was investigating a miner who had been found, turned green, in an abandoned coal pit. Global Chemicals was responsible for the pollution, having been directed by the computer [[BOSS]]. BOSS used mind control on key company staff and planned on controlling the world based on his initial programming. The Doctor broke BOSS's control using the blue crystal. Once freed, company boss [[Stevens]] destroyed BOSS before it could link with computers over the world.  


[[File:Wedding Present.jpg|thumb|right|The Doctor gives Jo a parting gift before leaving her to lead a new life with [[Clifford Jones|Professor Jones]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Green Death]]'')]]
However, as the Doctor and Sarah encountered the brutish natives, they also ran into a faction that wished to destroy the city, and befriended [[Bellal]]. The Doctor listened to the plight of Bellal's people and agreed to put an end to it with his help. With Bellal's help, he sought to disrupt their city's functions and remove the power-disrupting facility, though it required him and the humans to infiltrate the city's defences and get through several puzzles. Although the Daleks were incapable of using their [[gunstick]]s and were left in a rare state of vulnerability that took its toll when the Daleks where picked off by Exxilons and the city's traps alike, they resorted to using ordinary guns to coerce the Doctor and company into following their orders. The Daleks ordered humans to place bombs around the city's central tower to destroy it. The city was destroyed, as was the Dalek space ship, when Galloway chose to atone for his ruthlessness as the acting commander by sacrificing his life to manually detonate bombs placed aboard the vessel. Though the Marine Space Corps could now retrieve their cure on future missions to Exxilon, the Doctor regretted having to destroy the Exxilon's city and lamented the loss of one of the universe's wonders. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Death to the Daleks (TV story)}})
Jo and Clifford Jones, a scientist working at [[Wholeweal]], had developed a quick romance in the few days since they had met. Cliff asked for her hand in marriage and Jo accepted his proposal. They announced they were getting engaged and planned to travel the Amazon looking for a rare fungus. Cliff's experimental facility, the [[Nuthutch]], had also been deemed a United Nations priority one research complex, after Jo had pulled some strings with her uncle in the UN to get a telex from Geneva. This was only the second time she had called on her uncle to do such a thing, after calling on his help to get a position at UNIT, which allowed her to meet the Doctor in the first place. Jo and the Doctor were then faced with the hard reality that this meant their time together at UNIT and in the TARDIS was over. The Doctor offered his blessing and gave Jo the blue crystal he had retrieved from Metebelis III as a wedding present. Alone, he discreetly and sadly left the celebration. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Green Death]]'')


==== Travelling alone ====
The Doctor, Sarah, Jeremy, and the Brigadier travelled to [[San Stefano Minore]] and encountered ghosts crossing from [[Null-Space]] to Earth. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Ghosts of N-Space (audio story)}})
Depressed and saddened by Jo's departure, the Doctor began travelling alone, whilst continuing to operate with UNIT. When Jo left him, the Doctor left UNIT for six months to go travelling in his TARDIS. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Deep Blue]]'')


The Doctor encountered many [[Crei]]s, [[elephant]]-like aliens who searched for the [[Tipping Device]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Midnight in the Café of the Black Madonna]]'')
The Doctor and Sarah finally arrived on [[Florana]] in [[5968]], just as the [[Chelonian Empire]] was to sign a treaty with humanity. There, Sarah overheard two [[Chelonian]]s discussing how one had poisoned the emperor's drink, and went to warn the delegates. The Doctor noticed the emperor's strange actions and poured a bucket of water down his throat, thus removing the poison. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Hungry Bomb (short story)}})


Soon after Jo left, the Doctor met [[Iris Wildthyme]] in Venice. He suggested that they team up to defeat a common foe, but she misinterpreted that as a marriage proposal. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Wormery (audio story)|The Wormery]]'')
The Doctor and Sarah visited [[Bob Dovie]] at [[59A Barnsfield Crescent]] in [[Totton]], [[Hampshire]] on [[23 November]] [[1963]], ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Light at the End (audio story)}}) and defeated the [[Android maker]] of [[Calderon IV]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Android Maker of Calderon IV (short story)}})


The Doctor landed on Peladon in the early years of its admittance into the Galactic Federation. He found a refugee camp of [[Ice Warrior|Martians]] displaced from [[New Mars]] during the [[Martian Civil War]] after [[Grand Marshall]] [[Raxlyr]] had murdered most of the royal family on the planet. The Doctor only intended a short visit, but King Peladon insisted the Doctor to stay to offer his counsel. Back inside the citadel, the Doctor discovered Peladon's spokesman for the refugees, Lord [[Vaarnak]], had been murdered.
The Doctor and Sarah were called back to Earth by Liz, who herself had been summoned back to UNIT due to the Brigadier acting strangely. The Doctor discovered that the Brigadier had been possessed by a [[Remoraxian]], a species that wanted to flood the world to allow them to colonise, and built a [[de-remorator]] to remove the Remoraxian from the Brigadier. The Doctor, Sarah, Liz and the Brigadier went to the nearby UNIT seabase, along with [[Paul (In With the Tide)|Agent Paul]] of the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]], where the [[Remoraxian Prime]] was orchestrating its plot to flood the world. Discovering that the [[United States of America|American]] government had authorised the [[Nuclear weapon|nuclear]] bombing of [[Great Britain]] to stop the threat, the Brigadier persuaded the Remoraxian Prime that the Americans would follow through with the attack, and the Remoraxians left Earth, ending the threat of the bombs. As the Doctor summarised the situation, Liz, Sarah and the Brigadier were abducted by [[Adam Mitchell]]. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|In With the Tide (comic story)}}) The Doctor quickly ran off to rescue them. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Choice (comic story)}})


The morning after the Doctor saw a light from the citadel's tallest tower blink, the Doctor went on an "early morning stroll" to investigate the light. Peladon had done the same, and told the Doctor the legend of the [[Prisoner of Peladon]] that lay behind the double doors with four locks. The Doctor realised Lord [[Axlaar]] was the murderer of Lord Vaarnak, whom had done so because his family had been dishonoured when Vaarnak didn't align with Grand Marshall Raxlyr. Vaarnak was also involved with the kidnapping of Martian orphans to find the missing [[princess]], [[Lixgaar]].
Following a chronal trail left his the [[Eleventh Doctor]] as the [[Tenth Doctor]] merged their TARDISes together, the Third Doctor joined his other incarnations as they stormed Adam's fortress in [[Limbo]] to save their friends from Adam and {{Ainley}}. 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]]: {{cs|Endgame (POT comic story)}})


The Doctor realised that the four hands to operate the four locks to the Prisoner of Peladon's prison could have been operated by a lone [[hexapod]], rather than two people in tandem — Alpha Centauri. He also figured out that Centauri, having access to the royal collection of relics, would have known where to find the keys and hid the Princess away. Lord Axlaar had initially intended to find the Princess with subterfuge, but upon being found out threatened to summon reinforcements.
The Doctor and Sarah thwarted an invasion of [[Dahensa]] in London by setting up a sonic manifold feedback loop over the city from the Post Office Tower. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Invasion of the Scorpion Men (comic story)}})


The Doctor took King Peladon, Lord Axlaar and Axlaar's accomplice, [[Sslurn]], to the chamber of the Prisoner. There, the Doctor knocked at the chamber doors, which Centauri opened from inside. The Doctor called for Princess Lixgaar within the chamber, whom Axlaar threatened with his [[sonic disruptor]]. The Doctor attacked Axlaar in the chest; the blast of the disruptor hitting Sslurn. Axlaar took aim again at the princess, swatting the Doctor aside, and King Peladon threw himself at him in a blind rage. After this, Axlaar fell from the window.
The Doctor and Sarah then travelled to the planet [[Hezrah]], where the people worshipped the [[Eternal Machine]], which would send chosen citizens to the stars. The Doctor revealed that the machine was actually an alien that would slowly touch and kill the citizens, in order to gain power. The creature's followers grew angry at the creature and set it ablaze, killing it. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Discourse of Flies (short story)}})


The Doctor tried explaining to Peladon that the death of Axlaar wasn't his fault, only for Peladon to chastise the Doctor for treating him like a child and treating the situation like a game and refused to explain anything. The next day, the Doctor informed Peladon that [[Izlyr]] arranged a peacekeeping ship to take the princess to [[Io]]. The Doctor quietly left in the TARDIS while Peladon spoke with Centauri. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Prisoner of Peladon (audio story)|The Prisoner of Peladon]]'')
=== The Game of Rassilon ===
[[File:Third Doctor w older Sarah.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor and an older Sarah. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Five Doctors (TV story)}})]]
While taking a ride in the country in [[Bessie]], the Doctor was saved from the [[Great Intelligence]] by [[Clara Oswald]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Name of the Doctor (TV story)}}) and was then captured by a [[Time Scoop]] and taken to the [[Death Zone]] on [[Gallifrey]]. There, he encountered an older Sarah Jane Smith, who at first was confused by the sight of him as she had witnessed his regeneration and had already parted company with his [[Fourth Doctor|next incarnation]]. They travelled to the [[Tomb of Rassilon]], where the winner of the [[Game of Rassilon (The Five Doctors)|Game of Rassilon]] would be given immortality. On the way, the Doctor met {{Ainley|n=a future rendition of the Master}}, who claimed to have been sent by the [[Time Lord]]s to help him, a claim the Doctor did not believe, confiscating the [[Seal of Rassilon|Seal of the High Council]] from him, under the assumption that it was stolen, and believing instead that the Master was behind everything, a claim he felt was confirmed when thunderbolts suddenly rained down on them, one of them hitting Bessie and forcing he and Sarah to walk. The Doctor and Sarah also encountered a group of [[Cyberman|Cybermen]] and a [[Raston Warrior Robot]]; fortunately, the two of them were able to sneak past while they did battle, the Cybermen quickly getting slaughtered.


On a fishing trip in [[Scotland]], the Doctor joined a group of archaeologists to investigate the legendary "Glen of Sleeping", only to discover {{Delgado}} amongst the group. He stopped the Master from using the Polaris missiles aboard a submarine to destroy every city in Britain, which he used as a ransom so that he could steal the Doctor's TARDIS. In stopping him, the Doctor accidentally transported himself, the Master and the submarine to [[1745]]. Tricking the Master into helping him deal with the [[Redcoats]], the Doctor secretly used chronons to cross back to the 1970s, leaving the Master in the hands of Red Angus and angry Scotsmen, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Glen of Sleeping]]'')  
Using stolen climbing utensils from the Raston Warrior Robot, the Doctor and Sarah climbed to the top entrance to the tower. Inside the tower, the Doctor encountered illusions of [[Liz Shaw]] and [[Mike Yates]], and eventually reached the tomb, where the Doctor joined with his [[First Doctor|first]] and [[Second Doctor|second incarnations]] to study the writing by [[Rassilon]]'s tomb, and open the teleportation systems. The [[Fifth Doctor]] arrived, under the control of Lord [[Borusa]], who had brought the Doctors there to help him retrieve immortality from Rassilon. The combined concentration of the three Doctors, however, was enough to break Borusa's control over their future incarnation. When Borusa spoke to Rassilon and took his offer of immortality, he was turned to stone and became trapped within a sarcophagus. The Doctor was soon after returned to his time zone with Sarah Jane by Rassilon. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Five Doctors (TV story)}})


He then encountered the Daleks, who he was able to defeat with the help of the [[Royal Navy]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Threat from Beneath]]'') He also attended a peace conference and granted his old friend, [[Stuart Mallory]], permission to go on a mission to [[Antarctica]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Last Emperor]]'')
=== Time alone ===
{{section stub|Info from ''[[The Metal-Eaters (comic story)|The Metal-Eaters]]'', ''[[Petrified (TVC comic story)|Petrified]]'' & ''[[Lords of the Ether (comic story)|Lords of the Ether]]'' needs to be added}}


When a beach in [[Tadcaster]] in southern [[England]] was engulfed in an unnaturally dense fog, the Doctor received a postcard from the Master indicating he was responsible. The Doctor and Tadcaster native [[Joe (Fogbound)|Joe]] journeyed into the fog. They discovered the Master was using [[Sarkan]] [[mist-flower]]s to generate the fog. If they bloomed, their seeds would spread and the Earth would have been covered in the dense fog. The Doctor and Joe were able to destroy the flowers, saving the planet and once again defeating the Master. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Fogbound (comic story)|Fogbound]]'')
The Doctor helped many colonisers in the far future find a new planet, ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Wanderers (comic story)}}) and then attended the funeral of [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]] with his other incarnations, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Gift (ST short story)}}) where he comforted [[Liz Shaw]] during the burial. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Shroud of Sorrow (novel)}})


The Doctor next landed on a planet about to be destroyed by a [[supernova]] in order to recover a new supply of [[marlenium]] for the TARDIS, and discovered many [[children]], whom he took to a new planet to live out their lives. He returned to his TARDIS, only to discoverer that he had been on a mission for the [[Time Lord]]s the whole time. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Labyrinth]]'')
The Third Doctor was summoned by his [[first incarnation]], who required the aid of one of his future incarnations to escape a castle in medieval England, where he had been entrapped by knights thinking he was holding Lady [[Mary (Five Card Draw)|Mary]] hostage in his TARDIS. After the [[Fifth Doctor]] lost the game that chose who would face the knights, he explained the situation to them and the Doctors were permitted to leave. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Five Card Draw (short story)}})


The Doctor and his new companion, [[Tom Phips]], were abducted and put in an alien [[zoo]]. The Doctor, however, was able to make the ship send him and the other aliens to their respective homes. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Vortex]]'')
=== Final exploits ===

After Tom left, the Doctor travelled to the [[32nd century]], where he discovered children ruled the planet and the adults were slaves. He was able to cause a revolt, and gained a new companion, [[Arnold (Children of the Evil Eye)|Arnold]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Children of the Evil Eye]]'') Arnold and the Doctor later encountered [[Spidron]]s and [[dinosaur]]s. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Nova (TVC comic story)|Nova]]'') Afterwards, the Doctor returned Arnold to his own time. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Amateur]]'')
[[File:Doctor Peladon Ice Warriors.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor surmises [[Azaxyr]] will spare him until the [[Ice Warrior]]s no longer require his services. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Monster of Peladon (TV story)}})]]
The Doctor returned to Peladon with the intent of reuniting with King Peladon, but accidentally jumped fifty years ahead of his last visit. By then, Peladon had died, with his daughter, [[Thalira|Queen Thalira]], ruling under a period of dissent, and an ongoing labour dispute between Pel nobility and the Pel miners worsened when apparitions of [[Aggedor]] attacked and killed several miners. Following an uprising by the oppressed miners, and distrust from the queen's chancellor, [[Ortron]], regarding who the Doctor and Sarah had sided with, the two were sent to face the judgement of the [[Aggedor (The Curse of Peladon)|Aggedor]], whom the Doctor calmed with a Venusian lullaby. By Peladonian law, he and his companion were exonerated of any charges placed against them. With the situation worsening, Alpha Centauri summoned for assistance from the Federation, and they sent in [[Ice Warrior]]s to ensure production. The Ice Warriors' commander, [[Azaxyr]], threatened to kill hostages if the miners refused to work, and the Doctor brought the miners and ruling class together to fight the Ice Warriors.


Missing Jo and craving a new companion, the Doctor invited his old friend [[Victoria Waterfield]] back into the TARDIS, but she declined. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Downtime (novelisation)|Downtime]]'')
Following a long series of disputes, the Doctor, Sarah and the Peladonians learned the planet was under siege by [[Eckersley]], a Federation defector seeking to manipulate the people into giving up their world's stores of trisilicate for his own gain. One of the miners, [[Ettis]], attempted to wipe out the whole of them by firing a [[sonic lance]] on the Peladonian citadel, duelling the Doctor and subduing him long enough to use the device. Having planned against this, Azaxyr had placed a self-destruct mechanism on the lance, which killed Ettis when he activated it. After recovering from his duel, the Doctor found the apparitions of Aggedor were being created by a machine in the mine that Eckersley had protected with a security system, assaulting the Doctor's senses when he turned it on. When Eckersley cranked up its effects high enough to kill him, the Doctor used sensory withdrawal to block out the attack and feign death until Sarah could rescue him. With the cooperation of [[Gebek]], leader of the miners, and Thalira's forces, Eckersley and the Ice Warriors were wiped out. Sadly, the Aggedor was a victim of the battle between the groups when he and Eckersley killed each other, upsetting the Doctor.


The Doctor frequently visited the [[Diogenes Club]], but was thrown out when his [[Seventh Doctor|seventh incarnation]] showed him the answer to the [[crossword]] he was doing. This incarnation shouted at his older self, breaking the rules of silence. It was at the Diogenes Club where the Doctor first met [[Mycroft Holmes]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[All-Consuming Fire (novel)|All-Consuming Fire]]'')
In the aftermath of the uprisings, the Doctor helped bring about a new era of peace to Peladonian society and Sarah, seeing how Thalira was treated due to her gender, ensured that the laws of Peladon would view the queen as a true ruler. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Monster of Peladon (TV story)}})  


The Doctor then helped many colonisers in the far future find a new planet. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Wanderers]]'')  
Planning to return back to UNIT HQ, the Doctor and Sarah landed on an ocean planet on an old rig. They met an artist commune including [[Marta Malvani]] who he admired. He was worried about the commune being isolated from the universe. He thought that there was some sabotage on board but discovered that it was an attempt to start the extraction process up again. He learnt that there was an indigenous race on the planet which was in the salt and was mental energy which was created during the initial mining operation. He told [[Laurel (The Gulf)|Laurel]] that they were using her. He overloaded the extractors in the mine to explode the base to stop the creatures. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Gulf (audio story)}})


The Doctor eventually returned to UNIT at [[Christmas]]. Both without companionship, the Doctor and Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart spent Christmas together at the Doctor's country house on [[Allen Road]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Faithful Friends: Part 1]]'')  
On the orders of the Brigadier, the Doctor investigated the Dow Tor Research facility. He became worried after discovering that [[Chiltern]] had an alien material in his facility and experimenting on it. Trying to rescue the Brigadier the TARDIS made and emergency landing taking the Doctor and Sarah back to 1855. He asked the local Vicar [[Monty Woolsgrove]] for information about the devil's footprints. He decided to go after the [[Icewalker]] and found it an ideal place to live. He made his way back to the Brigadier to stop Chilten's plans again. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Devil's Hoofprints (audio story)}}


Returning to work at UNIT, the Doctor and Lethbridge-Stewart went on the trail of Hingrad, one of the universe's "greatest" criminals. They learnt he intended to steal the crown jewels. The Doctor was taken hostage by him in the vaults of the [[Tower of London]]. Escaping his clutches, the Doctor imprisoned Hingrad beneath the river [[Thames]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Secret of the Tower]]'')
The Doctor and Sarah then retrieved [[Sputnik 2]] and buried [[Laika]], the first space traveller from [[Earth]], on the distant planet [[Quiescia]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Alien Bodies (novel)}}) After this, Sarah requested that they return to [[Earth]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Interference - Book One (novel)}})


He later was a member of the jury in a trial against his first self. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Juror's Story]]'')
Afterwards, the Doctor and Sarah travelled to London in [[December]] [[1952]], where the Doctor discovered that poisonous smog was killing the citizens. He discovered that it was created by two [[Xhinn]]s, a humanoid alien race that were usually peaceful, who wanted to cover their tracks. With help of the local gangsters, he was able to create a [[Time Bomb|time bomb]], which caused their ship to age greatly and disintegrate. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Amorality Tale (novel)}})


At some point during his third incarnation, he travelled with [[Joshua Douglas|Lord Joshua Douglas]] for as long as a decade. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Catalyst (audio story)|The Catalyst]]'', ''[[The Time Vampire (audio story)|The Time Vampire]]'')
At [[Christmas]], the Doctor and Sarah travelled to [[1822]] [[New York City|New York]], where they met [[Santa Claus]]. As they talked, they did not realise that they were being watched by [[Clement C. Moore]], who then settled down to write "[[Twas the Night Before Christmas]]." ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|A Visit from Saint Nicholas (short story)}})


=== Sarah Jane Smith ===
Visiting [[Coal Hill School]] to drop off flowers for the flower garden, the Doctor told Sarah of the time his [[first incarnation]] fought off [[Space Wolf|Space wolves]] with [[Shivani Bajwa]], but refused to admit to her that the First Doctor had purposely barred fleeing people from entering the school. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Horror of Coal Hill (short story)}})
[[File:Timewarrior_ep4.JPG|thumb|left|The new TARDIS team. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time Warrior]]'')]]
Journalist [[Sarah Jane Smith]] impersonated her aunt, virologist [[Lavinia Smith]], to gain access to a research centre. Top scientists were being held there in protective custody while UNIT investigated the disappearances of their colleagues.


The missing scientists had been kidnapped by a [[Sontaran]], [[Linx]], and taken to medieval England, where they were working under hypnosis to repair his crashed spaceship. Following Linx' death and the destruction of his weapons, the Doctor and Sarah began travelling together. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time Warrior]]'')
The Doctor and Sarah then met a man named [[William (Gone Fishing)|Isaac]], a composer and future companion of the Doctor's. He was stalked by two grey figures, and eventually committed suicide. The Doctor attempted to investigate, but was stopped by the [[Adelphi|Time Lord messenger]], who informed him that he had to wait until he encountered the events himself. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|An Overture Too Early (short story)}})


A large cloud of deadly gas created from the destruction of a planet nearly destroyed Earth, but the Doctor was able to discern that it was not natural, and was, in fact, an attempt by the [[Zirconian]]s to invade Earth. He was able to use the satellites of Earth to set off an explosion to destroy them. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doomcloud (comic story)|Doomcloud]]'')
=== A slow demise ===
{{section stub|Info from ''[[The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Time Traveller (short story)|The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Time Traveller]]'' needs to be added}}


The Doctor and Sarah then accidentally travelled into a [[Parallel Earth (Who's Who? Earth)|parallel Earth]] where they were human criminals. They were able to escape by travelling into a [[primitive Earth]], where they left their counterparts, returning home. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Who's Who? (comic story)|Who's Who?]]'')
[[File:Doctor and K'ampo face a possesed Sarah.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor and [[K'anpo Rimpoche|his mentor]] witness Sarah under control by an [[Eight Legs]] who covets the Metebelis crystal. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Planet of the Spiders (TV story)}})]]
The Doctor took the Brigadier to see a travelling performance show, where he observed a powerful clairvoyant, Professor [[Herbert Clegg]]. He arranged for the professor to meet him in UNIT HQ, where he looked into the source of Clegg's abilities. Before his experiment could begin, he was presented with a package; Jo had sent her Metebelis crystal back to him after a group of Indian porters cited it would bring them bad luck and refused any further association with her and Cliff unless she discarded the crystal. However, Clegg looked into it, causing his psychic abilities to increase and show him a frightful image of [[Eight Legs|extraterrestrial spiders]], which gave him a fatal heart attack.


The Doctor, Sarah, [[Jeremy Fitzoliver]] and the Brigadier went to [[Space World]], a new amusement park, to investigate a death that had occurred nearby. The park was run by [[Naglon]]s from the planet [[Parakon]] disguised as humans. They wanted to hypnotise the humans to do their bidding. The aliens left Earth, but not before they captured Sarah and Jeremy. The Doctor and the Brigadier travelled to [[Parakon]] to retrieve them. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Paradise of Death]]'')
Reunited with [[Mike Yates]], the Doctor and UNIT discovered mysterious goings-on at a meditation retreat run by Tibetan monks were linked to a colony of monstrous spiders on [[Metebelis III]]. Here, he ran into his old mentor, [[K'anpo Rimpoche]], who suffered an attack from the spiders and regenerated. The spiders sought the Doctor's crystal and began attacking, possessing, subjugating and killing anyone who stood in the way of them reclaiming the crystal. The Doctor realised that the act of taking it in the first place was a deadly oversight from the beginning, and was told by K'anpo he had no choice but to return the crystal, which would spell his doom.


[[File:Third Doctor Taking Aim.jpg|thumb|The Doctor aims a stun gun at a [[brontosaurus]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Invasion of the Dinosaurs]]'')]]
To save his companions, his teacher, and the whole cosmos from them, the Doctor exposed himself to lethal levels of [[radiation]] to destroy the web of [[The Great One (Planet of the Spiders)|the Great One]]. He allowed the Great One to repossess the crystal, which gave her infinite psychic power, unaware this would be too much for her to bear. The Great One and the Eight Legs linked to her could not handle the limitless power and were destroyed. The Doctor limped to his TARDIS and escaped Metebelis III, horrendously irradiated. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Planet of the Spiders (TV story)}})
The Doctor and Sarah arrived in [[1970s]] London to find that it had been evacuated because of dinosaurs. The dinosaurs were being brought to London by a time machine in a plan to revert London to a pre-technological level. The masterminds behind the scheme, [[Whitaker]] and Grover, were accidentally transported to pre-historic Earth. ([[TV]]: ''[[Invasion of the Dinosaurs]]'')


Sarah then began searching through secret files at the [[Ministry of Defence]] headquarters, and discovered a Doctor John Smith who had died in an explosion. She was alarmed when they eventually travelled to the place and time of the explosion, believing that the Doctor was going to die. The explosion happened before they arrived, and after she told him her fears, he reminded her that "John Smith" was a common name. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Numb]]'')
The Doctor was stuck wandering around the [[Time Vortex]] for ten years, the radiation slowly eating away at his body. The effects became so severe that he could not even reach the [[TARDIS console]], and was doomed to simply wait until [[the TARDIS]] landed of its own accord. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Love and War (novel)}}) During this time, he was taken prisoner by a corrupt being called Tremayne in East Berlin. Even though he was enduring a painful death, the Doctor worked alongside [[Edward Grainger]] and stopped Tremayne and the Logos from rewriting the history of the whole cosmos. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Ancient Whispers (short story)}})


The TARDIS crashed on the planet [[Exxilon]]. The Doctor encountered [[Marine Space Corps]] members seeking [[Parrinium]], a cure for a space-plague. The [[Dalek]]s also landed for the same purpose. The Doctor and the Daleks discovered the [[Great City of the Exxilons]], a large city with a power-disrupting tower preventing technology from working. The Doctor sought to disrupt its functions and remove the power-disrupting facility. The Daleks ordered humans to place bombs around the city's central tower to destroy it. The city was destroyed, as was the Dalek space ship. The Doctor sadly commented that the universe was now down to six hundred ninety-nine wonders. ([[TV]]: ''[[Death to the Daleks]]'')
==== Death ====

[[File:Third-doctor-regenerates.jpg|thumb|right|The Doctor [[regeneration|regenerates]] into his [[Fourth Doctor|fourth incarnation]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Planet of the Spiders (TV story)}})]]
When the TARDIS finally deposited the dying Doctor back on Earth, he promptly collapsed in his UNIT lab next to Sarah Jane and the Brigadier. Looking at Sarah Jane, he tried comforting her, telling her, ''"While there's life, there's..."'', but expired before he could finish his dying words.


Attempting once more to travel to Florana, the Doctor and Sarah arrived at [[Neptune (planet)|Cerulean]], which was being attacked by missiles from the planet [[Sedna]]. The Doctor was able to create a better barrier, but he soon realised that Cerulean was in fact Neptune, and that Sedna was a tenth planet, yet to be discovered in Sarah's timeline. The aliens soon began to speak of peace, and they requested that the Doctor should represent the planet Cerulean, but before he could, he detected another TARDIS about to crash into his. He left and indicated that the other time machine was a future version of his own. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Neptune (short story)|Neptune]]'')
[[K'anpo Rimpoche]]'s psychic projection reappeared before Sarah Jane and the Brigadier, and promised the two that the Doctor would be all right, deciding to give the Doctor "a little push" to help his cells begin a regeneration, then vanished and told Sarah Jane and the Brigadier to "look after him". The Doctor then started breathing again and regenerated into his [[Fourth Doctor|next incarnation]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Planet of the Spiders (TV story)}})


The Doctor and Sarah finally arrived on [[Florana]] in [[5968]], just as the [[Chelonian Empire]] was to sign a treaty with humanity. The Doctor was mistaken as one of the delegates, and Sarah went to go sunbathing. There, she overheard two [[Chelonian]]s discussing how one had poisoned the emperor's drink. Sarah went to warn the delegates, but the guards would not let her pass.
=== Perversion of history ===
The Doctor noticed the emperor's strange actions and poured a bucket of water down his throat, thus removing the poison. Changing out of his now ruined shirt, the Doctor and Sarah left Florana for Earth. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Hungry Bomb (short story)|The Hungry Bomb]]'')
Several regenerations and hundreds of years later, the Doctor's [[Eighth Doctor|eighth incarnation]] was imprisoned and brutally tortured in [[Saudi Arabia]] while investigating the activities of the [[Remote]]. In a delirious state, the Doctor created a [[time equation]] with his own [[blood]]. Due to the interference of [[Faction Paradox]], this connected the Eighth Doctor to the Third Doctor's TARDIS. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Interference - Book One (novel)}})


The Doctor then went to help his [[First Doctor|first incarnation]] escape knights. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Five Card Draw]]'')
After the Third Doctor and Sarah buried [[Laika]] on [[Quiescia]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Alien Bodies (novel)}}) Sarah requested that they return to [[Earth]]. Half an hour into this trip, the Third Doctor discovered a new and mysterious door within the TARDIS, which led to his eighth incarnation's prison cell. The future Doctor tried to warn the Third Doctor about Faction Paradox, realising too late that he wasn't supposed to know of them until his [[Fourth Doctor|fourth incarnation]]; he then warned his past self against being diverted from his destination. Shocked by this scene, the Doctor returned to the console room, where Sarah Jane stood, shocked, as she saw the walls begin bleed. As the Eighth Doctor had warned, the TARDIS then landed on the planet [[Dust (planet)|Dust]] during the [[War in Heaven]], on the same day when [[I.M. Foreman's Travelling Show]] arrived and the [[Faction Paradox warship]]s approached the planet. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Interference - Book One (novel)}})


The Doctor then went on multiple adventures with [[Jeremy Fitzoliver]]. In one, Jeremy was fiddling with the controls when he accidentally released a burst of temporal energy, which caused [[Jake Morgan]], a man standing near the TARDIS, to cross into a different phase of reality, where he could not interact with anyone. The Doctor was unable to bring him back, only to send him into his own phase of reality to live out eternity. Morton left after he spoke to his fiancée one last time. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dead Man's Story]]'')
The Doctor resolved the [[Remote]] invasion, escaping death at the hands of [[Father Kreiner]], and resolved the apparent [[paradox]] of Foreman's original encounter with his future selves. However, as he and Sarah prepared to leave in the TARDIS, he decided to visit Foreman's final incarnation and convince it to infuse with Dust's ecosystem and transform the dead world into a lush green one. Satisfied with the outcome of his time on Dust, the Doctor was on his way to rejoin Sarah in the TARDIS when he was confronted by [[Magdelana Bishop]]. Convinced that it was the only way to protect her world from future invaders, Magdalena shot him in the chest with a [[shotgun]] and left him for dead in the street. As he began to [[regeneration|regenerate]], Sarah dragged him back to the TARDIS to return to UNIT.


The Doctor and Jeremy then landed on [[Sedna]], where [[Siccati]] were attacking their own people. The Doctor requested a meeting with the [[Arranger]]s, who would only meet those who presented them with art masterpieces. The Doctor was annoyed at having his painting denied, when Jeremy was taken on a tour of the city with his poorly-constructed vase. The Doctor and Jeremy discovered that the Arrangers wanted to make the planet a perfect piece of art. Jeremy asked why his art was accepted, and one of the Arrangers admitted that in a search for perfect art, he admired the vase's lack of perfection. The Doctor pointed out that meant that something that was "not" perfect "could" be beautiful, and the Arrangers, accepting this argument, left the planet alone. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Sedna (short story)|Sedna]]'')
As the Doctor's [[immune system]] was compromised by regeneration, the Faction's [[biodata virus]] bonded to his [[biodata]]. The Doctor still regenerated into his [[fourth incarnation]], and history continued much like it did before the change, but by the end of the Doctor's eighth incarnation the virus would corrupt him into a member of the Faction. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Interference - Book Two (novel)}}) As part of this process, the Eighth Doctor lost his [[shadow]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Unnatural History (novel)}})


The Doctor, Sarah, Jeremy, and the Brigadier travelled to [[San Stefano Minore]] and encountered ghosts crossing from [[Null-Space]] to Earth. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Ghosts of N-Space (audio story)|The Ghosts of N-Space]]'')The Doctor and Sarah were called back to Earth by Liz, who herself had been summoned back to UNIT. The Brigadier was acting strangely, giving orders to reassign UNIT troops "in a haphazard, unpredictable manner". There had also been flooding occurring worldwide. When the Brigadier ordered the Tower of London to be sealed off and flooded, Liz finally decided he was unfit for duty and gave him a check up. The Doctor deduced that the Brigadier had been possessed by a [[Remoraxian]], a species that wanted to flood the world to allow them to colonise. The Doctor built a [[de-remorator]] to remove the Remoraxian from the Brigadier.
However, the TARDIS took the infection and fragments of the original [[timeline]] into itself, preserving the essence of the Third Doctor who didn't die on Dust. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Ancestor Cell (novel)}}) Even after the TARDIS's near-destruction on [[Avalon (The Shadows of Avalon)|Avalon]] ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Shadows of Avalon (novel)}}) and subsequent corruption into the [[Edifice (TARDIS)|Edifice]], the dust [[ghost]] of this original Third Doctor retained a degree of control over the ship's defences. Over his five millennia in the ship, he trained its [[spider]]s to be his scouts and lookouts. Finally, with the Edifice hanging over [[Romana III's Gallifrey|Gallifrey]] during the [[Faction Paradox invasion of Gallifrey|Faction Paradox invasion]], the Third Doctor confronted [[Grandfather Paradox]] and guided the Eighth Doctor to use the TARDIS's defence systems to destroy Gallifrey and [[Kasterborous]], forcing the universe to choose one of the two timelines.


[[File:Third Doctor pointing Prisoners of Time.jpg|thumb|The Doctor confronts the [[Remoraxian Prime]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Prisoners of Time (comic story)|Prisoners of Time]]'')]]
The Eighth Doctor was uncertain which timeline would become real. However, afterwards, his [[shadow]] reappeared, suggesting the biodata virus was no longer a part of his timeline; this led [[Compassion]] to speculate, speaking to [[Fitz Kreiner]], that the Doctor's visit to Dust had indeed been unwritten from [[history]]. However, she also believed the War in Heaven at large had been averted ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Ancestor Cell (novel)}}) which proved to be incorrect, as Compassion would later become a major player in the War on [[Nine Gallifreys|other Gallifreys]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Book of the War (novel)}}, {{cs|Of the City of the Saved... (novel)}}, {{cs|Warring States (novel)}}, {{cs|The Brakespeare Voyage (novel)}}, [[AUDIO]]: {{cs|In the Year of the Cat (audio story)}}) When the Eighth Doctor eventually regained contact with the greater universe, history had been rewritten so that Gallifrey had never even existed, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Adventuress of Henrietta Street (novel)}}) suggesting that the War had not been erased but actually continued and ended in some other way. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Book of the War (novel)}}, {{cs|The Story So Far... (short story)}}
The Doctor, Sarah, Liz and the Brigadier went to the nearby UNIT seabase along with Agent [[Paul (Prisoners of Time)|Paul]] of the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. There, the [[Remoraxian Prime]] was orchestrating its plot to flood the world. Discovering that the [[United States of America|American]] government authorised the [[Nuclear weapon|nuclear]] bombing of [[Great Britain]] to stop the threat, the Doctor was given 29 minutes to negotiate with the Remoraxians. After the Brigadier persuaded the Remoraxian Prime that the Americans would follow through with the attack, the Remoraxians left Earth, ending the storms, and Agent Paul called off the bombing.


A mysterious [[Cloaked figure (Prisoners of Time)|cloaked figure]] abducted Liz, Sarah and the Brigadier, leaving the Doctor a single message: "Say goodbye, Doctor." ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Prisoners of Time (comic story)|Prisoners of Time]]'')
Nevertheless, the Eighth Doctor later saw that Gallifrey could one day be restored to the universe. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Tomorrow Windows (novel)}}) At some point following the [[Last Great Time War]], waged between the Daleks and Time Lords, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (TV story)}}, {{cs|Hell Bent (TV story)}}) at least one [[Book (The Whoniverse)|history of the universe]] recounted that the Third Doctor had regenerated after the battle with the [[Eight Legs]] and [[The Great One (Planet of the Spiders)|the Great One]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Whoniverse (novel)}}) implying that the Eighth Doctor had indeed been successful during the War in Heaven in restoring that if nothing else. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Ancestor Cell (novel)}}) Indeed, the [[Tenth Doctor]] remembered how to defeat the Eight Legs. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Forgotten (comic story)}})


The Doctor returned to Peladon fifty years after his last visit. [[Thalira|Queen Thalira]], daughter of the late [[King Peladon]], ruled. A labour dispute between Pel nobility and miners worsened when apparitions of their deity, [[Aggedor]], attacked and killed several miners. The [[Galactic Federation]] desperately needed [[Trisilicate]] for its war against [[Galaxy 5]]. They sent in brutal [[Ice Warrior]]s to ensure production. The Doctor brought the miners and ruling class together and they fought the Ice Warriors and rebuilt Peladon. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Monster of Peladon]]'')

{{section stub|Info from ''[[Head Games (novel)|Head Games]]'' needs to be added}}
When under attack by a [[space amoeba]], the Fourth Doctor briefly turned back into his third self. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Timeslip (comic story)}})


Afterwards, the Doctor and Sarah retrieved [[Sputnik 2]], and buried [[Laika]], the first space traveller from [[Earth]], on the distant planet [[Quiescia]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Alien Bodies]]'') At some point during his travels with Sarah, they 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]]'')
In a dream garden occupied by the Doctor's previous incarnations, the Third Doctor made additions to the garden, including trying to add a statue to it, before the notion was rejected. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Into the Silent Land (short story)}})


==== Further adventures ====
When trapped in a dimensionally-unstable pocket universe controlled by [[Iam]] and {{O'Mara}}, the [[Sixth Doctor]]'s morphic print was destabilised, causing him to unwillingly regress back through his previous incarnations as his body sought a stable morphic print. The Doctor was forced to use his morphic instability to mentally regress back to his third persona when he found himself requiring the Third Doctor's skills at hand-to-hand combat to act as a gladiator in this pocket reality, essentially letting the Third Doctor's persona control his body when he was required to fight. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|State of Change (novel)}})
Later, at [[Christmas]], the Doctor and Sarah went to the Brigadier's Christmas party, but found it to not be fun. Instead, they travelled to [[New York City|New York]], [[1822]], where they met [[Santa Claus]]. As they talked, they did not realise that they were being watched by [[Clement C. Moore]], who then settled down to write "[[Twas the Night Before Christmas]]." ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Visit from Saint Nicholas]]'')


The Doctor and Sarah then travelled to the planet [[Hezrah]], where the people worshiped 'the [[Eternal Machine]],' which would send chosen citizens to the stars. The Doctor revealed that the machine was actually an alien that would slowly touch and kill the citizens, in order to gain power. Once it was powerful enough, it would have left the planet and its followers. The creature's followers grew angry at the creature and set it ablaze, killing it. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Discourse of Flies]]'')
In a bid to detach the [[Funhouse]] from [[the TARDIS]] in the [[time vortex]], the Sixth Doctor bound the switch that protected the TARDIS's passengers from the changing time fields outside with a string, allowing him to pull it remotely from the limited protection of the [[Zero Room]]. As a result, the Doctor immediately began to regress back through his first five incarnations as he made his way back to the [[console room]] where, as the [[First Doctor]], he flipped the switch back, restoring himself while trapping the Funhouse in the vortex. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Funhouse (comic story)}})


The Doctor and Sarah then travelled to [[December]] [[1952]], where the Doctor discovered that poisonous smog was killing the citizens. He discovered that it was created by two [[Xhinn]]s, a humanoid alien race that were usually peaceful, who wanted to cover their tracks. With help of the local gangsters, he was able to create a [[Time Bomb|time bomb]], which caused their ship to age greatly and disintegrate. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Amorality Tale]]'')
On another occasion, the [[Seventh Doctor]] used the TARDIS [[telepathic circuit]]s to bring forth the memory of his third incarnation when he felt that the Third Doctor's technical expertise would be useful to disarm a dangerous bomb. The Doctor described his third persona as vain and suggested he wouldn't have liked being trapped in the seventh incarnation's body. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Timewyrm: Genesys (novel)}}) However, this allowed the [[Timewyrm]] to infiltrate the Doctor's mind, and set up [[Anthony Rupert Hemmings]] in the portion of the Doctor's subconscious occupied by the Third Doctor's persona. The Doctor offered little resistance, distracted by the discovery that the [[The Leader|dictator]] of the [[Inferno universe]]'s [[Republic of Great Britain|Great Britain]] was his direct counterpart. When the Seventh Doctor and Ace entered the Doctor's mind, the Seventh Doctor was able to help the Third Doctor gather the strength needed to expel Hemmings from their mind. No longer a prisoner of his own making, the Third Doctor began to rebuild the Doctor's subconscious mind. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Timewyrm: Revelation (novel)}})


[[File:Third_Doctor_w_older_Sarah.jpg|thumb|The Doctor and an older Sarah. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'')]]
Whilst [[degeneration|degenerating]] after being affected by a weapon in the [[Last Great Time War]], the Doctor briefly became the Third Doctor again on a few occasions. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Past Lives (audio story)}}, {{cs|The Artist at the End of Time (audio story)}}, {{cs|A Genius for War (audio story)}}) He was stable in the form of the Third Doctor when he landed in [[2006]] and met [[Harry Sullivan]], however shortly afterwards changed again into the [[Sixth Doctor]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Two's Company (audio story)}}) Whilst transporting [[Missy]]'s fake Martians to ancient [[Mars]], the Doctor again became the Third Doctor. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Martian Invasion of Planetoid 50 (audio story)}})
While taking a ride in the country in [[Bessie]], the Doctor drove past a version of [[Clara Oswald]]. He was also seen by the [[Great Intelligence]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Name of the Doctor]]'') After this, he was captured by a [[Time Scoop]] and taken to the [[Death Zone]] on [[Gallifrey]]. There, he encountered an older Sarah Jane Smith that had been travelled with his [[Fourth Doctor|fourth incarnation]]. They travelled to the [[Tomb of Rassilon]], where the winner of the [[Game of Rassilon]] would be given immortality. On the way, the Doctor met {{Ainley|n=a future incarnation of the Master}}, who claimed to have been sent by the [[Time Lord]]s to help him. The Doctor did not believe him, and drove off.


After Bessie was attacked by [[Cyberman (Mondas)|Cybermen]], the Doctor and Sarah encountered a [[Raston Warrior Robot]], the most perfect killing machine ever devised, that was able to sense movement. The Doctor was unable to distract the robot without moving, but luckily a fleet of [[Cyberman (Mondas)|Cybermen]] arrived. The robot attached the Cybermen, killing all of them, giving the Doctor and Sarah time to escape.
[[File:FourEightThreeForgotten.jpg|thumb|The Third Doctor helps face [[Es'Cartrss]] . ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Forgotten (comic story)}})]]
When the [[Tenth Doctor]] was confronted by [[Es'Cartrss]] within the TARDIS's Matrix, he summoned the Third Doctor, among his other past incarnations, to use their united memories and willpower to take back control of the Matrix. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Forgotten (comic story)}})


[[File:Fivedoctors.jpg|thumb|left|Four Doctors. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'')]]
During many failed attempts to duplicate the Tenth Doctor, defective copies of all his past incarnations, including the Third Doctor, were created instead. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Breakfast at Tyranny's (comic story)}})
Using stolen climbing utensils from the Raston Warrior, the Doctor and Sarah climbed to the top entrance to the tower. Inside the tower, the Doctor encountered illusions of [[Liz Shaw]] and [[Mike Yates]], and Sarah became weak. They eventually reached the tomb, where the Doctor re-encountered his [[First Doctor|first incarnation]] and once again, clashed with his [[Second Doctor|second]]. They studied the writing by [[Rassilon]]'s tomb, and opened the teleportation systems. The [[Fifth Doctor]] arrived, under the control of Lord [[Borusa]], the Doctor's former tutor, who had brought the Doctors here so they could help him retrieve immortality from Rassilon. They were able to free the Fifth Doctor from his control, but could not stop him from retrieving immortality. When Borusa spoke to Rassilon and took his offer of immortality, he was moved into the tomb, to stay there to live out eternity. After meeting his future self and an older Brigadier-Lethbridge Stewart, the Doctor was returned to his own time to reunite with his version of Sarah and the Brigadier. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'')


The Doctor attended the funeral of [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Gift (short story)|The Gift]]'')
After the Eleventh Doctor was accused of committing deadly crimes against the [[Overcast]], he brooded in the TARDIS for two days, imagining all his previous numbered incarnations, including the Third Doctor, interrogating him over the crimes. When he offered the rational that he always left things better than he found them, they all turned and left him in disgust and disgrace. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Pull to Open (comic story)}})


The Doctor and Sarah then met a man named [[Isaac (An Overture Too Early)|Isaac]], a composer who later became the Doctor's companion. He was stalked by two grey figures, and eventually apparently committed suicide. The Doctor attempted to investigate, but was stopped by the [[Time Lord messenger (Terror of the Autons)|bowling hat Time Lord]], who informed him that he had to wait until he encountered the events himself. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[An Overture Too Early]]'')
When the Eleventh Doctor was attacked by [[the Then and the Now]] on [[Lujhimene]], the Third Doctor was among the incarnations seen as the Doctor's timeline was almost destroyed. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Running to Stay Still (comic story)}})


=== Final death ===
When the Eleventh Doctor entered into the [[T'keyn Nexus]] in order to defend himself, Matrix projections of his previous incarnations, including the Third Doctor, appeared inside it to defend themselves as well. When the [[Second Doctor]] debunked [[Es'Cartrss|auditor Sondrah]]'s accusations of his menace by bringing up the [[fixed points in time]], the Third Doctor continued the protest by proclaiming he stopped outside interference from the likes of the [[Dalek]]s, the [[Cyberman (Mondas)|Cybermen]] and the [[Sontaran]]s from affecting the Earth's progression. When the Eleventh Doctor began to deduce Sondrah's true identity, the past Doctors faded away as [[Oscar Wilde]] interfered with the Nexus. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Dead Man's Hand (comic story)}})
Reunited with [[Mike Yates]], the Doctor and UNIT discovered mysterious goings-on at a meditation retreat run by Tibetan monks were linked to the blue planet [[Metebelis III]] and a colony of monstrous spiders. Here he ran into his old mentor, [[K'anpo Rimpoche]], who suffered an attack from the spiders and regenerated into his next incarnation, a physical manifestation of the persona Cho Je he projected. To save his companions, his teacher, and the whole cosmos from them, the Doctor sacrificed his life, exposing himself to lethal levels of [[radiation]] to destroy the web of the Spiders' leader, [[the Great One]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Planet of the Spiders]]'')  


He then wandered around the [[time vortex]] for ten years, the radiation slowly eating away at his body. The effects became so severe that he could not even reach the [[TARDIS console]], and was therefore doomed to simply wait until [[the TARDIS]] landed of its own accord. It was a time the [[Seventh Doctor]], trapped in a similar circumstance in [[Puterspace]], would later remember as the worst in his life. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Love and War (novel)|Love and War]]'') During this time, he was taken prisoner by a corrupt being called Tremayne in East Berlin. He was saved by a face from his past, [[Edward Grainger]], who was now a spy. Even though he was enduring a painful death, the Doctor worked alongside Edward and stopped Tremayne and the Logos from rewriting the history of the whole cosmos. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Ancient Whispers]]'')
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 incarnations, including the Third Doctor, as he thought about his search for Gallifrey. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (TV story)}})
[[File:Third-doctor-regenerates.jpg|thumb|The Doctor [[regeneration|regenerates]] into his [[Fourth Doctor|fourth incarnation]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Planet of the Spiders]]'')]]
 
When the TARDIS finally deposited the dying [[Time Lord]] back on Earth inside UNIT's headquarters next to Sarah Jane and Lethbridge-Stewart (from their point of view he had been missing for three weeks), he promptly collapsed. Looking at Sarah Jane, he tried comforting her with the words: "A tear, Sarah Jane? No, don't cry. While there's life, there's..." [hope], but he expired before he could finish. Regeneration did not commence in time to save his life and he died permanently. Sarah Jane then tearfully closed his eyes. However [[K'anpo Rimpoche]]'s psychic projection reappeared before the fallen Time Lord and promised his saddened companions that he would be all right. His cells were severely damaged by the Metabilis crystals, but his healing would begin with Rimpoche's assistance. He decided to give the Doctor "a little push" to help his cells begin a regeneration, then vanished and told Sarah Jane and the Brigadier to look after him. The Doctor started breathing again and regenerated into his [[Fourth Doctor|next incarnation]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Planet of the Spiders]]'')
When he was exposed to energy from a [[time storm]], the [[Twelfth Doctor]] degenerated through all of his previous incarnations, including the Third Doctor. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Lost Magic (audio story)}})
 
During the [[restoration of the Cyber-Empire]], the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] used the memory of all her previous incarnations to escape [[the Matrix]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Timeless Children (TV story)}})

* One possibility regarding who defeated [[the War Chief (The Legions of Death)|the War Chief]]'s scheme in [[43]] [[AD]] [[Great Britain|Britain]] was that the Doctor, while in flight through the [[Time Vortex]], detected the energy signature of [[the War Chief's TARDIS|a rogue TARDIS]] and decided to investigate. He may, at that time, have been travelling with any combination of his [[companion]]s [[Liz Shaw]], [[Jo Grant]], [[Sarah Jane Smith]], or [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]]. Fellow [[Time Lord]]s [[the Colonel]] and [[Leora]], and their own companions, may have lived through this adventure instead, or in conjunction with the Doctor.

=== Legacy ===
== Other realities ==
The fourth incarnation seemed to dislike his predecessor. He commented that his new nose was a definite improvement only hours after his regeneration. ([[TV]]: ''[[Robot (TV story)|Robot]]'') When on [[Karn]], the fourth incarnation mentioned that he preferred his then-current form to "what he had last time". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Brain of Morbius]]'') He also described his immediate predecessor as "an incorrigible show-off." ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Categorical Imperative (short story)|Categorical Imperative]]'')
=== Alternate timelines ===
[[File:Three in time distortion.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor in the midst of a time distortion. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Prologue: The Third Doctor (comic story)}})]]
In an alternate timeline created by the [[Discordia]], the Doctor had a passionate romantic relationship with [[River Song]] that began in his [[first incarnation]], having married her by his [[fourth incarnation]]. Without the Brigadier's knowledge, the Doctor and River would meet up to practice one-legged [[Venusian aikido]] while blindfolded on a tightrope. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Someone I Once Knew (audio story)}})


The [[Fifth Doctor]] described this incarnation's behavior as "arrogant" and "overbearing" although he stated that he matured over time. ([[PROSE]]: [[Deep Blue (novel)|''Deep Blue'']])
In an [[Silurian Earth|alternate timeline]] created by {{Champion}} using the [[Chronovore]] [[Artemis (No Future)|Artemis]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|No Future (novel)}}) the [[Third Doctor (Silurian Earth)|Third Doctor]] was killed by [[Morka]] during his confrontation with the Silurians, resulting in humanity being decimated as the [[Silurian]]s attempted to return Earth to its original state. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Blood Heat (novel)}})


Although the [[Sixth Doctor]] described his third self as having strange taste in clothes, when trapped in a pocket universe that caused him to experience morphic instability and required to fight, he took advantage of his current instability to allow the Third Doctor's personality to take control of his body so that he could use his past self's skills at hand-to-hand combat ([[PROSE]]: ''[[State of Change]]''). The [[Seventh Doctor]] also temporarily allowed the Third's persona to take control of him when he had to disarm a [[cobalt bomb]] linked to the mind of his current companion [[Ace]] as he was uncertain about his own ability to deal with such a complex piece of technology. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Genesys]]'')
In a [[Parallel universe (He Jests at Scars...)|parallel universe]], [[the Valeyard (He Jests at Scars...)|the Valeyard]] undertook various corrections of [[history]] after he stole the [[Doomsday Weapon]] and used it on [[Gallifrey]]. He told [[Melanie Bush (He Jests at Scars...)|Mel]] that he unintentionally destroyed possibilities in which the Doctor existed. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|He Jests at Scars... (audio story)}})


The Third Doctor's time with UNIT had a lasting effect. Even though his following incarnations severed virtually all ties with UNIT, the Doctor has continued to work with them on various occasions, with none of the Doctor's later incarnations ever fully resigning from their position. The Doctor was well known within UNIT even up to the late 2000s with its members wanting to meet him, and a temporary period of stunned silence after UNIT officers learned that the Doctor was involved in a crisis being a common reaction; three seconds of silence was considered an impressive recovery time. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Shadow in the Glass]]'') Captain [[Erisa Magambo]] and Professor [[Malcolm Taylor]] were both excited to hear from him. Magambo saluted him, though it annoyed the Doctor. The two described the Doctor as the man everyone in UNIT wanted to meet but feared the day they would as they knew that that day would bring chaos. ([[TV]]: ''[[Planet of the Dead (TV story)|Planet of the Dead]]'')
In a [[Parallel universe (Full Fathom Five)|parallel universe]], the Doctor obtained [[UNIT]] credentials, which his [[The Doctor (Full Fathom Five)|eventual sucessor]] used in order to gain [[Eric Vollmer|Professor Volmer]]'s trust and access to the [[Deep-sea Energy Exploration Project|DEEP]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Full Fathom Five (audio story)}})


Even in his tenth incarnation, the Doctor still hadn't forgiven the [[Time Lord]]s for what they had done to him in this incarnation. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Last Dodo (novel)|The Last Dodo]]'')
When the [[Cyberman|Cybermen]] allied with [[Rassilon]] to take over history, ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Supremacy of the Cybermen (comic story)}}) the Doctor encountered a [[time distortion]] during a battle with {{Delgado}} that ended with the Master being [[cyber-converted]]. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Prologue: The Third Doctor (comic story)}}) This timeline was eventually unwritten by Rassilon and the [[Twelfth Doctor]].

In a negated timeline, the TARDIS was attacked on [[23 November]] [[1963]] by a [[conceptual bomb]] bought by {{Pratt}} and began to be erased from time. The Third Doctor, along with his [[First Doctor|first]] and [[second incarnation]]s, became trapped in another dimension, and tried to warn their other incarnations by reducing the explosion to a blinking light on the TARDIS with the coordinates of the explosion. However, when their four successors followed the warning, the Master took direct action in attacking them, until the [[Sixth Doctor]] managed to bring them together to formulate a plan. After the [[Fifth Doctor]] ensured that the TARDIS would not explode, the Doctors prepared to [[time ram]] [[the Master's TARDIS]]. However, rather than kill the Master, the First Doctor instead turned off the automatic distress actions, making it so none of the Doctors followed it into the explosion and undoing the events of the day. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Light at the End (audio story)}})
In an [[alternate timeline|alternative timeline]] in which his exile on Earth never ended, the Third Doctor betrayed the [[United Kingdom]] when it was invaded by the [[Cyberman (Mondas)|Cybermen]] in [[2010]], at which time [[Melanie Bush]] was [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|Prime Minister]], the Cybermen partly converting the Doctor and restoring his ability to travel in time. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Quantum Archangel (novel)|The Quantum Archangel]]'')


In an alternate timeline created by the [[Monk]], the Third Doctor was killed during his confrontation with the Silurians — the Silurian leader torturing the Doctor to death and the Monk ensuring that he could not regenerate — resulting in humanity being decimated as the Silurians attempted to return Earth to its original state. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Blood Heat]]'')
==== Unending exiles ====
{{section stub|Info from {{cs|Prisoners of the Sun (short story)}} needs to be added}}


In a [[Parallel Earth (Who's Who?)|parallel Earth]], a [[human]] [[The Doctor (Who's Who? Earth)|version of the Doctor]] existed. He looked like [[The Doctor|the Doctor's]] third incarnation, and his [[companion]] was [[Sarah-Jane (Who's Who? Earth)|Sarah-Jane]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Who's Who? (comic story)|Who's Who?]]'')
In one possible timeline envisioned by the [[Nexus]], the Third Doctor decided to remain on Earth after his exile, settling down an old house with a garden. When the [[Ice Warrior]]s invaded in [[2010]], the Doctor surrendered on Earth's behalf, with the Ice Warriors ruling the Earth Empire peacefully, assisting the humans and [[Silurian]]s in combating the [[Rutan Host]]s and the [[Dalek]]s, but largely leaving them to their own devices, with Earth eventually becoming a nature reserve that shunned war. The Third Doctor was able to live for a thousand years on Earth without regenerating, though became wheelchair bound, and was aware that he was only a "copy" of the Doctor. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|So Vile a Sin (novel)}})


After his trip to [[Queiscia]], the Doctor discovered a new and mysterious door within the TARDIS. Inside, the Doctor discovered that the door led to a cell holding one of his [[Eighth Doctor|future incarnations]], who was soaking in his own blood. The future Doctor tried to warn himself about [[Faction Paradox]], not recalling that he would not know of them until his [[Fourth Doctor|fourth incarnation]]. Shocked by this scene, he returned to the console room, where Sarah Jane stood, shocked, as she saw the walls bleed. The ship then landed in the distant future, on the planet [[Dust]], where [[I.M. Foreman]] had been performing. As Sarah and the Doctor went to bed, the Faction Paradox's ships approached. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Interference - Book One]]'') Learning of Foreman's true origins as a Gallifreyian priest travelling with his future selves, the Doctor was able to resolve the paradox of Foreman's original encounter with his future selves before appealing to Foreman's final incarnation to infuse itself with the ecosystem for Dust, transforming the formerly dead world into the lush green [[Foreman's World]]. Satisfied, he headed back to the TARDIS, but he was shot by [[Magdalena]], convinced that this was the only way to protect her world from future invaders, and began to regenerate. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Interference - Book Two]]'') During this incident, he was infected by the Paradox biota virus while his immune system was occupied with his regeneration, with the virus intended to corrupt him into a member of the Faction, but the TARDIS was able to take the infection and fragments of the true timeline into itself, preserving the Third Doctor's essence as a kind of "ghost". With the TARDIS holding on to these fragments even after its near-destruction on Avalon ([[PROSE]]: [[The Shadows of Avalon|''The Shadows of Avalon'']]) and its later corruption into the [[Edifice (TARDIS)|Edifice]] as it rebuilt itself, the [[Eighth Doctor]] was able to restore the regular timeline and stop the Third Doctor from dying on Dust by destroying [[Gallifrey]], draining the TARDIS of power and forcing the universe to 'choose' which timeline would be real. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Ancestor Cell]]'')
In an [[alternate timeline|alternative timeline]] where his exile never ended, the Doctor remained in Britain for forty years, forming a working relationship with PM [[Melanie Bush]] for over twenty years. However, he eventually betrayed the [[United Kingdom]] when it was invaded by the [[Cyberman (Mondas)|Cybermen]] in [[2010]] as he felt that Britain's best efforts against the Cybermen were destined to be useless. The Cybermen partly converted the Doctor and restored his ability to travel in time. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Quantum Archangel (novel)}})
 
== Legacy ==
During the [[Fourth Doctor]]'s [[Mindbending contest between the Fourth Doctor and Morbius|mindbending contest]] with the [[Morbius Monster]], images of his three preceeding incarnations as well as [[The Doctor (The Brain of Morbius)|eight earlier incarnations]] were projected on screen. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Brain of Morbius (TV story)}})
 
During the [[Duplicate Incident]], the [[Dalek]]s subjected the [[Fifth Doctor]] to their [[duplication machine]] as they attempted to create a [[Dalek duplicate|duplicate]] of him, with the images of his previous four incarnations and their [[companion]]s being projected on screen. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Resurrection of the Daleks (TV story)}})
 
During [[Operation Genocide]], the [[Davros|Dalek Emperor]] verified the [[Seventh Doctor]]'s identity based on his memories of his previous six incarnations. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Nemesis of the Daleks (comic story)}})
 
Travelling through the [[cave]]s of the [[Death Zone]] to save [[Borusa]] from the [[Dark Tower]], the [[War Doctor]] and [[Cinder]] found various [[cave painting]]s which the Doctor speculated were depictions of himself throughout his lives, some of which he failed to recognise. One of the paintings depicted a figure "with bouffant white hair and a cape being chased by a [[Raston Warrior Robot (The Five Doctors)|silver robot]]". ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Engines of War (novel)}})
 
During the [[1851 incident]], the [[Tenth Doctor]] used the [[infostamp]]s to project records of his first ten, numbered incarnations from the [[database]] of the [[Cybusman|Cybermen]], which he believed was stolen from the [[Dalek]]s following the [[Battle of Canary Wharf]], as he explained to [[Jackson Lake]] how he had been made to believe he was [[the Doctor (title)|the Doctor]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Next Doctor (TV story)}})
 
[[Mr Smith]] presented footage of the Third Doctor as well as the [[Ninth Doctor]] to [[Rani Chandra]] after her encounter with the Tenth Doctor, making her aware of his ability to [[regenerate]]. ([[WC]]: {{cs|Alien File: The Doctor (webcast)}})
 
As they observed the [[Earth]] in [[2008]], the [[Atraxi]] recorded the existence of the ten, numbered incarnations preceeding the [[Eleventh Doctor]], who sent the Atraxi into [[retreat]] after introducing himself. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Eleventh Hour (TV story)}})
 
When [[Tia Karim]] and the [[Shansheeth]] attempted to use a [[memory weave]] to create a [[TARDIS key]] from the memories of both [[Jo Jones]] and [[Sarah Jane Smith]], the Eleventh Doctor encouraged them to use the power of their memories to overload it, the two former companions using their memory of the Third Doctor among others to do so. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Death of the Doctor (TV story)}})
 
While trying to stabilise into his namesake's form and personality, a [[Eleventh Doctor (Ganger)|Ganger duplicate]] of the Eleventh Doctor rapidly fluctuated through the earlier [[incarnation]]s and exclaimed "[[Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow|I've reversed the polarity of the neutron flow]]. After offering a [[jelly baby]], he then mixed the sentences together and said, "I've reversed the jelly baby of the neutron flow." ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Almost People (TV story)}})
 
Finding herself within the [[Remembered TARDIS]], [[Jo Jones]] found and played with the [[Third Doctor's sonic screwdriver]], admitting to [[Clyde Langer]] that she missed her Doctor more and more as she grew older. After telling Clyde of [[First Omega Crisis|the time]] she was with three or "two and a bit" Doctors at once, Jo noted that she [[love]]d the Doctor just as Clyde loved the late [[Sarah Jane Smith]], but that it was different than the love she had for her [[husband]], [[Clifford Jones]], and urged Clyde to pursue that same love with [[Rani Chandra]]. After Clyde left, Jo found the [[Metebelis crystal]] and reflected on how the Doctor had brought her and Cliff together just as Cliff himself appeared before her. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Three Doctors (TotT TV story)}})
 
When [[Rogue (Rogue)|Rogue]] used his [[deep scanner]] on the [[Fifteenth Doctor]], the images of seventeen earlier incarnations were projected, including that of the Third Doctor. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rogue (TV story)}})

[[File:Clawsofaxos ep1.JPG|thumb|left|The Doctor faces an irascible [[Horatio Chinn|politician]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Claws of Axos (TV story)|The Claws of Axos]]'')]]
[[File:Unhappy Doctor.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor expresses his outrage at orders taking priority over democracy. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Green Death (TV story)}})]]
The third incarnation often had problems with the [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|Brigadier]]'s tendency to think in military terms and with petty officials generally. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Claws of Axos (TV story)|The Claws of Axos]]'') He also had a very strong disgust toward people who were any combination of stubborn, selfishly goal-driven, or close-minded. These types of people would anger him further if they refused to listen to him, ignored his protests, or went to absurd lengths just to dodge the risk of being proven wrong. He was particularly enraged by [[Eric Stahlman]] and his [[Stahlmann (Inferno Earth)|parallel universe counterpart]], the latter of which destroyed the Earth because of his extreme obduration, while the former came dangerously close to doing the same. ([[TV]]: ''[[Inferno (TV story)|Inferno]]'') He showed a similar anger at [[John Williams|General Williams]] for being utterly convinced he was a [[Draconian]] spy without proof, deriding, "You have the most totally closed mind that I've ever encountered." ([[TV]]: ''[[Frontier in Space (TV story)|Frontier in Space]]'')  
A champion for peace and justice, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Colony in Space (TV story)}}) who "hardly ever" lied, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Time Warrior (TV story)}}) the Third Doctor valued his freedom, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Frontier in Space (TV story)}}) believing "the collection of the simplest animal lifeforms [to be] a dubious enough pursuit in itself", but that "the collection of civilised [and] intelligent beings [was] a positive crime", ([[TV]]: {{cs|Carnival of Monsters (TV story)}}) sympathising with such caged creatures due to his experience as an exile on Earth. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Walls of Confinement (audio story)}}) He was also more of a show-off than his predecessors, often putting himself at the centre of attention when his plans and contraptions worked accordingly. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Spearhead from Space (TV story)}}) [[Liz Shaw]] believed he only really required an assistant to "pass [him] [his] test tubes and to tell [him] how brilliant [he was]." ([[TV]]: {{cs|Terror of the Autons (TV story)}})


[[File:Unhappy Doctor.jpg|thumb|"I think you'll find, Mr. Yates, that this is the worst day's work the world has seen for many, many years." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Green Death (TV story)|The Green Death]]'')]]
Having "an air of natural authority", ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|A True Gentleman (audio story)}}) he was far more assertive than his preceding incarnations, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Spearhead from Space (TV story)}}) with less patience for protocols such as visitor's passes, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ambassadors of Death (TV story)}}) and strove to maintain his independence while working for UNIT, such as by ignoring the Brigadier's summonings. ([[TV]]: [[TV]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)}}) He also disliked having to answer to the Time Lords, maintaining that he worked only for himself. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Colony in Space (TV story)}}, {{cs|Day of the Daleks (TV story)}}) However, he could be more passive when it came to rescues, not questioning the falsehoods his allies would give when coming to his aid, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Dæmons (TV story)}}) and, while he disliked having to work for them, he would use his association with UNIT as a means of getting his way. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Mind of Evil (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Green Death (TV story)}})
The Third Doctor always favoured peace and diplomacy above violence and aggression. However, his peacemaking methods clashed with stalwart military-minded individuals, who chose rules over morality. His summation of the Brigadier was, "He's hidebound, you see. He always does everything by the rules. I keep telling him. I said, there are times, you know, when you've simply got to cut right through the red tape." ([[TV]]: ''[[Frontier in Space (TV story)|Frontier in Space]]'') Figures such as the Brigadier were often a thorn in the Doctor's side, especially if they had power and numbers on their side. When he was at odds with a greater majority of imprudent people or a particularly aggressive influential, the Doctor would find his diplomacy usurped. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)|Doctor Who and the Silurians]]'', ''[[Inferno (TV story)|Inferno]]'', ''[[The Mind of Evil (TV story)|The Mind of Evil]]'', ''[[The Claws of Axos]]'', ''[[Colony in Space (TV story)|Colony in Space]]'', ''[[Day of the Daleks (TV story)|Day of the Daleks]]'', ''[[The Sea Devils (TV story)|The Sea Devils]]'', ''[[The Mutants (TV story)|The Mutants]]'', ''[[Frontier in Space (TV story)|Frontier in Space]]'', et al.)  


He would grow increasingly loud and frank with someone being obstinate when the Doctor was under the clock to stop something disastrous from happening. If diplomacy outright failed, he did not show further outrage, knowing he had been defeated. Instead, the Doctor reacted in a subdued manner even more unsettling than when he was in protest. Ashamed with the utmost level of disappointment and disgust, he gave a scathing and virulent dressing down to the foolhardy individuals that destroyed a bid for peace and order. Thoroughly downcast, he caustically scorned those responsible for precipitating such a disgraceful outcome. ([[TV]]: ''[[Inferno (TV story)|Inferno]]'', ''[[The Green Death (TV story)|The Green Death]]'')
Authoritative, yet rebellious, the Third Doctor always favoured peace and diplomacy above violence and aggression, though this led him to clash with stalwart military-minded individuals who chose rules over morality, with figures such as the Brigadier often being a thorn in his side, especially when a particularly aggressive influential had a greater majority of imprudent people on their side. The Doctor held a strong disgust towards these people, who were any combination of stubborn, selfishly goal-driven or close-minded, and would be further outraged if they refused to listen to him, ignored his protests or went to absurd lengths just to dodge the risk of being proven wrong, especially when they acted antagonistic and undiplomatic. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)}}, {{cs|Inferno (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Mind of Evil (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Claws of Axos (TV story)}}, {{cs|Day of the Daleks (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Sea Devils (TV story)}}, {{cs|Frontier in Space (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Green Death (TV story)}}) If unsatisfied with someone's handling of a situation, however, the Doctor would step in forcefully and take charge, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Inferno (TV story)}}) but, if diplomacy outright failed, he reacted in a subdued manner, giving a scathing and virulent dressing down to the foolhardy individuals that destroyed a bid for peace and order. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Mind of Evil (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Green Death (TV story)}})


His constant encounters and subsequent headbutting with figures of authority often seeded much violence that could have been avoided had he been allowed to maintain a delicate touch during tense situations. He attempted to achieve peace between humanity and the Silurians, but a younger Silurian with fight and bigotry in him resisted peace, seeding the way for the Brigadier to wipe their colony out. The act of massacre that the Brigadier allowed angered the Doctor, and had repercussions when he tried to come to an agreement with the Sea Devils. The Master used the deaths of the Silurians as leverage against humanity, making the Sea Devils vengeful and unreasonable. The Doctor then lost any chance of making peace, killing them when he saw no other hope. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Silurians]]'', ''[[The Sea Devils]]'')
Feeling akin to "a shipwrecked mariner" while stranded on Earth without a working TARDIS, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Inferno (TV story)}}) the Third Doctor spent a lot of his time trying to escape his exile, either by tricking others into helping him unlock his TARDIS's capabilities, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Spearhead from Space (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Claws of Axos (TV story)}}) by trying to repair the circuits himself, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ambassadors of Death (TV story)}}, {{cs|Inferno (TV story)}}, {{cs|Colony in Space (TV story)}}, {{cs|Day of the Daleks (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Mutants (TV story)}}) or by stealing parts from other TARDISes. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Terror of the Autons (TV story)}}) His desire to escape would cause him to become overconfident at the first sign of liberation, though he was often forced to humble himself once he realised he was still trapped. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Spearhead from Space (TV story)}}, {{cs|Inferno (TV story)}}, {{cs|Terror of the Autons (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Claws of Axos (TV story)}}) After he threatened his [[eighth incarnation]] with the Master's [[Tissue Compression Eliminator|TCE]] for a working TARDIS, the Doctor decided to remain in his exile of his own free will, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Eight Doctors (novel)}}) eventually coming to see UNIT as a "new-found family", which he continued to visit after his exile was lifted. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Shadows of Avalon (novel)}})


The Doctor did not show restraint against [[Ogron]]s, because the species lacked intelligence to reason with properly and were inherently violent, immediately resorting to murder if they were given orders to kill. When Ogrons approached the Doctor with their guns set to maximum power, capable of disintegrating the target with one hit, the Doctor had no other alternative but to use lethal force against them. ([[TV]]: ''[[Day of the Daleks (TV story)|Day of the Daleks]]'') While on a diplomatic mission, he defended himself against them again with a [[Draconian prince]]. Both he and the prince fired upon Ogrons who boarded with the intention of taking them prisoner, because they could not afford to get captured. They had to return to Earth and warn them that their people and [[Draconia]] had been pitted against each other before war broke out. ([[TV]]: ''[[Frontier in Space]]'')
Having a distain for bureaucracy, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ambassadors of Death (TV story)}}, {{cs|Colony in Space (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Sea Devils (TV story)}}) he was rebellious against authorities that were openly hostile towards him. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Inferno (TV story)}}, {{cs|Invasion of the Dinosaurs (TV story)}})  


[[File:Doctor eats Sandwich while Swordfighting.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor has the audacity to eat a sandwich with the Master at sword point. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sea Devils]]'')]]
While he was very hospitable with fellow intellects of his calibre, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Spearhead from Space (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Green Death (TV story)}}) the Doctor would get rude and dismissive with those he saw as beneath his intellectual prowess, particularly when they interfered in his work. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Terror of the Autons (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Curse of Peladon (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Sea Devils (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Three Doctors (TV story)}}) However, he could not bring himself to be dismissive of them in the face of their kindness, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Terror of the Autons (TV story)}}) and would not dismiss someone who others looked down upon for their poor intelligence. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Planet of the Spiders (TV story)}}) At times, however, the Doctor could become argumentative and needed to be defused in order to establish fluid communication with people. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ambassadors of Death (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Dæmons (TV story)}})
Despite his conflict with the Master, he visited him in prison. Jo noticed that he worried about him; he told her that he was an old friend. When he and the Master broke out into a sword fight, the Doctor dueled him lightheartedly, being courteous to let the Master retrieve his weapon, and throw banter with his enemy. He stole a sandwich from a platter in the Master's cell and began eating while he had his sword pinned on the Master's neck. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sea Devils]]'')  


The third incarnation was a man of action, aggressively joining the fray, unlike his first two incarnations, who generally insinuated themselves into events discreetly. He was unafraid to pitch in physically, often using his mastery of Venusian aikido when the situation called for it. This knowledge of unarmed combat came to this regeneration without any training. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Placebo Effect (novel)|Placebo Effect]]'')
Never judging by appearance, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Carnival of Monsters (TV story)}}) the Doctor would eagerly extend the hand of friendship to any new species he encountered, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)}}, {{cs|Colony in Space (TV story)}}) attempt to embrace the customs of the cultures he visited, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Time Warrior (TV story)}}) and would reserve his judgement on people until he had all the facts, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Day of the Daleks (TV story)}}) though his opinions on species as a whole could be clouded by past experiences with specific members. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Curse of Peladon (TV story)}}, {{cs|Death to the Daleks (TV story)}})
Much like his predecessors, his keen mind was still his primary asset. This was a technologically-oriented incarnation, who particularly loved to create and play with gadgets of all sorts. This passion displayed itself in the incarnation's scientific bent and in his love of vehicles, such as his yellow roadster, [[Bessie]], and [[Whomobile|his hovercar]], which he specially built. Sometimes his inventions backfired, but he found ways to repair and improve them.


[[File:3 & Jo.jpg|thumb|A guilty Doctor ([[TV]]: ''[[The Three Doctors (TV story)|The Three Doctors]]'']]
<!--Examples following this point focus on traits that highlight this particular incarnation of the Doctor being self-defensive or insecure-->
Staunchly moral, the Doctor was every bit the gentleman, a hero of the Victorian mould. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[A True Gentleman (audio story)|A True Gentleman]]'') This was shown when he felt guilt over tricking [[Omega]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Three Doctors (TV story)|The Three Doctors]]'') His third incarnation was a dapper, and indeed foppish, dresser, and wore a wide variety of smoking jackets and Inverness capes, with frilly shirts and either bow ties or cravats (usually the former) likewise being favoured by him. His [[First Doctor|first incarnation]], upon seeing him and his [[Second Doctor|second incarnation]] together, sniffed disdainfully of them both, "So you're my replacements. Humph. A dandy and a clown." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Three Doctors (TV story)|The Three Doctors]]'') His second incarnation insulted him with the epithet, "Fancy-Pants," prompting him to retort with the epithet, "Scare-Crow!" ([[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'')
While he would chide others for having a "childish attitude", ([[TV]]: {{cs|Inferno (TV story)}}) the Doctor himself admitted a liking for "being childish", such as by enjoying the prospect of battling villains, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Terror of the Autons (TV story)}}) even prolonging a swordfight with the Master out of sheer enjoyment. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Sea Devils (TV story)}}) He also had no problem interrupting lecturers when he disagreed with what was being said. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Mind of Evil (TV story)}}) By his own admittance, it was "impossible" for him to admit when he was wrong. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Carnival of Monsters (TV story)}})
[[File:Doctor_and_codal.jpg|left|thumb|The Doctor and Codal discuss what bravery means. [[TV]]: ''[[Planet of the Daleks]]'')]]
An eternal optimist, this Doctor often comforted people when all hope seemed lost to them. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time Monster]]'', ''[[Planet of the Daleks]]'') In fact, his dying words to Sarah Jane were, "While there's life there's...[hope]." ([[TV]]: ''[[Planet of the Spiders]]'') He once declared a belief that life would always continue in some form. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Mutants (TV story)|The Mutants]]'')


The Doctor had an antagonistic relationship with his [[Second Doctor|second incarnation]] due to their vastly different personalities. Their relationship was so rocky they were incapable of working together without the presence of the [[First Doctor|first incarnation]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Three Doctors]]'', [[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'') In contrast, the [[Fourth Doctor|fourth incarnation]], although he never met himself in his previous incarnation, occasionally spoke rather fondly of that form. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Brain of Morbius (TV story)|The Brain of Morbius]]'')
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's likes and dislikes-->
The Third Doctor had a passion for science and gadgets that caused him to drown out other people when he was invested in his work. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Time Monster (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Green Death (TV story)}}, {{cs|Invasion of the Dinosaurs (TV story)}}, {{cs|Planet of the Spiders (TV story)}}) He also loved his vintage car, [[Bessie]], almost as much as he loved his TARDIS, fixing it up and giving encouraging pats and kisses, ([[TV]]: [[TV]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Five Doctors (TV story)}}) and even preventing the Brigadier from shooting when Bessie was in the line of fire. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Dæmons (TV story)}})


His knowledge of the TARDIS greatly increased in this incarnation, chiefly due to taking it completely apart and reassembling it to try to make it work. Once the Time Lords returned the knowledge of how to operate it after he and his other two incarnations defused the threat that [[Omega]] was posing ([[TV]]: ''[[The Three Doctors]]''), the Doctor was more adept at controlling his destinations than his previous incarnations, who often lacked any sort of control at all. ([[TV]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child]]'', ''[[The War Games (TV story)|The War Games]]'', ''[[The Green Death (TV story)|The Green Death]]'') He denied any mistake on his part if he strayed, but would eventually find he had been interfered with, rather than his navigation being faulty. ([[TV]]: ''[[Carnival of Monsters]]'')
In moments of leisure, the Third Doctor could be found tinkering away at his car, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Dæmons (TV story)}}) undergoing a scientific experiment, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Terror of the Autons (TV story)}}) visiting events to indulge his "scientific curiosity", ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Mind of Evil (TV story)}}, {{cs|Planet of the Spiders (TV story)}}) or building a new gadgetry contraption. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Green Death (TV story)}})


Jo once described the Doctor as a "whirlwind in a frilly shirt." ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Doll of Death (audio story)|The Doll of Death]]'')
Though he desired a "quiet life", ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Monster of Peladon (TV story)}}) the Doctor craved in seeing the wonders of the universe, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Colony in Space (TV story)}}) with his favourite planets being [[Metebelis III]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Carnival of Monsters (TV story)}}) and [[Florana]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Invasion of the Dinosaurs (TV story)}})


The [[Fourth Doctor]] considered his immediate predecessor to be "an incorrigible show-off." ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Categorical Imperative (short story)|Categorical Imperative]]'')
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's dietary preferences-->
He enjoyed [[gorgonzola]] [[cheese]], [[wine]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Day of the Daleks (TV story)}}) and [[ice cream]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Dr. Third (novel)}}) His liking of [[tea]] was so great that he allowed the UNIT [[tea lady]] unrestricted access to his private laboratory, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Terror of the Autons (TV story)}}) while also preferring [[lime (fruit)|lime]] to [[lemon]] in his drinks. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Verdigris (novel)}})


The [[Sixth Doctor]] told [[Peri Brown]] that his third incarnation was "more interested in axle grease and looking in the mirror" than in reading great literature. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Year of the Pig (audio story)|Year of the Pig]]'')
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's beliefs and opinions-->
Always trying to find the "good in everyone", the Third Doctor was an eternal optimist with a belief that life would always continue in some form, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Dæmons (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Mutants (TV story)}}, {{cs|Frontier in Space (TV story)}}) often comforting people when all hope seemed lost to them, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Time Monster (TV story)}}, {{cs|Frontier in Space (TV story)}}, {{cs|Planet of the Daleks (TV story)}}, {{cs|Planet of the Spiders (TV story)}}) believing that "nothing [was] impossible" as long as there was an answer to find. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Carnival of Monsters (TV story)}}) He considered the greatest virtues in humanity as being "kindness, compassion, humour, friendship, [and] generosity". ([[WC]]: {{cs|U.N.I.T. On Call (webcast)}})
 
[[File:3 & Jo.jpg|thumb|left|Despite his victory, the Doctor voices his pity for Omega. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Three Doctors (TV story)}})]]
A strong believer in fairness, the Doctor was reluctant to release {{Delgado}} back into the cosmos, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Mind of Evil (TV story)}}) but argued against executing him at his trial due to his the belief that the Master was capable of redemption, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Sea-Devils (novelisation)}}) and also bargained for him to be spared "an eternity of torment" from [[Kronos]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Time Monster (TV story)}}) He was also saddened by the fate of [[Omega]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Three Doctors (TV story)}}) He strove to find a peaceful alternative to the more violent methods that others' held in resolving a crisis. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Sea Devils (TV story)}})
 
Not believing in the supernatural, the Doctor put his faith in [[science]], believing that a scientific explanation could be found to anything unexplainable. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Dæmons (TV story)}}) He saw "absolute power" as "evil", ([[TV]]: {{cs|Colony in Space (TV story)}}) and would turn away supreme powers when they were offered to him, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Dæmons (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Five Doctors (TV story)}}) instead focusing on obtaining the "power of friendship", which he considered to be "real power". ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Kingdom Builders (comic story)}}) He thought that "superior intelligence and senseless cruelty just [did] not go together", ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Three Doctors (TV story)}}) and once voiced the belief that "rules were made for breaking". ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Forgotten (comic story)}})
 
While the place where he felt "most at home in the whole universe" was in his TARDIS, ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Terror of the Master (audio story)}}) the Doctor also saw "time and space" as being his "home", ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Shrink (TV story)}}) but also held a similar sentiment for his UNIT laboratory. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Planet of the Spiders (TV story)}})
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's fears-->

([[TV]]: {{cs|Inferno (TV story)}})
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on the Third Doctor's attitude towards violence and death-->
While he was unafraid to use deadly force if it was "the only way" to end a fight, ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Labyrinth (comic story)}}) the Doctor was reluctant to destroy something if it had a trace of intelligence, likening it to [[murder]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Terror of the Autons (TV story)}}) though he would end a life if it "had to be done". ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Hungry Planet (comic story)}}) He felt nervous about his capabilities with a [[gun]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Mind of Evil (TV story)}}) even when he proved effective with one. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Day of the Daleks (TV story)}})
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's opinions on technology and machinery-->

([[TV]]: {{cs|Inferno (TV story)}})

<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's miscellaneous traits-->
The Third Doctor owned [[The Doctor's cottage (The Celluloid Midas)|a country house]] thirty miles from [[Thisis]], that he had bought with his UNIT wages. He decorated the dining room with French windows, robin's egg blue décor, a red wood dining table, and portraits of his past incarnations. There was also a room decorated in deep underwater blue, with a collection of blue Chinese ginger jars containing holograms of planets and creatures, including a Stranovitican. He had a laboratory in the house, which, though messier, was better equipped than the UNIT lab. He had the drive lined with marble statues of various mythical beasts, including a faun and a Minotaur. He also kept a pet ginger cat in the house, and had a huge yellow teapot in the kitchen. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Verdigris (novel)}})
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on how this particular incarnation of the Doctor described themselves-->
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's opinion of his other selves in chronological order-->
The Third Doctor had a noticeably antagonistic relationship with the [[Second Doctor]], their personalities so different that they seemed incapable of working together amicably without the authoritative presence of their [[first incarnation]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Three Doctors (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Five Doctors (TV story)}}) He also disliked the [[Eighth Doctor]], as he blamed him for the advice he gave the Second Doctor that resulted in his forced regeneration and exile. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Eight Doctors (novel)}})
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on how the other Doctors felt about this particular incarnation in chronological order-->
The [[Fourth Doctor]] considered his immediate predecessor to be "an incorrigible show-off", ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Categorical Imperative (short story)}}) while the [[Fifth Doctor]] described the Third Doctor's behaviour as "arrogant" and "overbearing", although he admitted that he matured over time. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Deep Blue (novel)}})
 
While the [[Sixth Doctor]] told [[Peri Brown]] that his third incarnation was "more interested in axle grease and looking in the mirror" than in reading great literature, ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Year of the Pig (audio story)}}) he was willing to acknowledge the Third Doctor's superior skill with a sword, even if he dismissed him as having an "unusual dress sense". ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|State of Change (novel)}}) The [[Seventh Doctor]] also acknowledged that the Third Doctor's technical skill outstripped his other incarnations, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Timewyrm: Genesys (novel)}}) and considered his third incarnation to be a "real dandy of a fellow". ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Under Pressure (comic story)}})
 
While the Eighth Doctor looking down at his third incarnation, ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Pictures of Josephine Day (comic story)}}) he still acknowledged him as an "elegant dandy struggling bitterly against the chains of his exile but unable to resist defending the planet that had become his prison". ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Eight Doctors (novel)}})
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's feelings and opinions on his companions and other friends and allies-->
During to his [[exile on Earth]], the Third Doctor was often frustrated about his mistreatment and became disrespectful from time-to-time, often bickering with [[Brigadier]] [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]] due to not agreeing with his military methods. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)}}, {{cs|Inferno (TV story)}}, {{cs|Terror of the Autons (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Claws of Axos (TV story)}}) However, the Doctor also held a great respect for the Brigadier, despite his "military mind", ([[TV]]: {{cs|Frontier in Space (TV story)}}) and often found himself telling his assistants to show him due respect. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Dæmons (TV story)}})
 
Despite his occasional rudeness, the Doctor grew very fond of his friends, often taking on the role of a teacher turning them into young scientists, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Dæmons (TV story)}}) though he also enjoyed a professional relationship with his scientific equal, [[Liz Shaw]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Spearhead from Space (TV story)}}, {{cs|Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)}}) At first, he was fearful of [[Jo Grant]] due to her bumbling nature, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Terror of the Autons (TV story)}}) but soon became fond enough of her to feel that meeting her made his exile worthwhile, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Frontier in Space (TV story)}}) becoming upset when she decided to leave his company in pursuit of marrying Professor [[Clifford Jones]].

[[File:Doctor eats Sandwich while Swordfighting.jpg|thumb|The Doctor has the audacity to eat the Master's lunch while holding him at sword point. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Sea Devils (TV story)}})]]
While the Third Doctor initially only saw the [[The Master (Terror of the Autons)|"UNIT era" Master]] as an "unimaginative plodder" that only caused trouble, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Terror of the Autons (TV story)}}) he eventually came to see him as the "personification of evil." However, he still visited him in prison due to their old friendship. When he and the Master broke out into a sword fight, the Doctor duelled him light-heartedly, being courteous to let the Master retrieve his weapon, and throw banter with him. He even stole a sandwich from a platter in the Master's cell and began eating it while he had his sword pinned on the Master's neck, for no reason other than a playful show of spite. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Sea Devils (TV story)}}) However, the Doctor distrusted him greatly, such as when he met the [[Tremas Master]] in the [[Death Zone]], and, despite him carrying the [[Seal of the High Council]] as proof, the Doctor refused to believe the Master had been sent to aid him, instead assuming him to be behind the predicament and having stolen his credentials, and held no qualms about leaving him stranded in an attack. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Five Doctors (TV story)}})
 
Resentful at them for exiling him, the Doctor thought the Time Lords to be a "mean, despicable, [and] underhanded lot" ([[TV]]: {{cs|Spearhead from Space (TV story)}}) who "delighted in deviousness". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Five Doctors (TV story)}})
 
He was afraid of the [[Dalek]]s, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Mind of Evil (TV story)}}) viewing them as "the most evil [and] ruthless life form[s] in the cosmos", ([[TV]]: {{cs|Day of the Daleks (TV story)}}) and took "great satisfaction" in destroying them. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Planet of the Daleks (TV story)}}) Because they were inherently violent and lacked the intelligence to reason with properly, the Doctor did not show restraint against [[Ogron]]s, immediately resorting to fatal action if they were given orders to kill. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Day of the Daleks (TV story)}}, {{cs|Frontier in Space (TV story)}})
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on how others described this particular incarnation of the Doctor-->
[[Sarah Jane Smith]] once described the Third Doctor as being like a "favourite teacher". ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Still Need a Title! (short story)}})
 
[[Charles Lawrence]] called the Third Doctor "insolent, [and] impertinent", and criticised him for "showing no respect for [his] authority", ([[TV]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)}}) while [[King]] [[Dalios]] recognised him as a [[philosopher]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Time Monster (TV story)}}) [[Florrie Cooper]] considered the Third Doctor to be "a proper toff". ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Three Companions (audio story)}}) When the [[Eighth Doctor]] had a [[tarot]] card reading, the Third Doctor was identified as "the Emperor". ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The City of the Dead (novel)}})

After confronting [[The Great One (Planet of the Spiders)|the Great One]] on [[Metebelis III]] to redeem himself for causing her incursion on Earth after stealing a [[Metebelis crystal]], the Doctor returned to his UNIT lab on Earth, claiming to Sarah Jane that "the TARDIS [had] brought [him] home". Telling a saddened Sarah that facing his fears was more important than "just going on living", he wiped away her tears and tried to comfort her as he succumbed to the radiation poisoning of the crystal.

The Third Doctor was a skilled diplomat, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Curse of Peladon (TV story)}}) and linguist, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Mind of Evil (TV story)}}) as well as having a knack for disguises, even altering his voice for his characters. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Green Death (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Time Warrior (TV story)}}) He was a fast drawer, able to draw a somewhat decent picture of a [[Silurian]] in seconds, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)}}) and could also sculpt with a hammer and chisel. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Sedna (short story)}})
 
Being able to utilise [[transmigration]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ambassadors of Death (TV story)}}) the Doctor could perform magic tricks, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Colony in Space (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Dæmons (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Three Doctors (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Monster of Peladon (TV story)}}) such as [[levitation]], ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Levitation (comic story)}}) and control [[anti-gravity]] through concentration.

== Appearance ==
== Appearance ==
The Third Doctor looked like a man in his fifties. He had curly, white hair and a big, pointy nose. He often smiled when amused and rarely frowned.
[[File:Number 5 reception centre.jpg|thumb|The Doctor sarcastically poses for his mug shot. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Invasion of the Dinosaurs (TV story)}})]]
The Third Doctor had a "craggy" face that made him look like a [[grandfather]], ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|A True Gentleman (audio story)}}) with a shock of [[white]] [[hair]], a pronounced [[chin]], a pointy [[nose]] and [[blue]] [[eye]]s ([[TV]]: {{cs|Spearhead from Space (TV story)}}) that "sparkled with intelligence". ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|A True Gentleman (audio story)}}) By his own account, he had "slim, artistic [[hand]]s". ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Independence Day (novel)}}) The Doctor sported [[Convict tattoo|a tattoo]] of a [[snake]] coiled into the shape of a [[question mark]] on his right [[forearm]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Spearhead from Space (TV story)}}, {{cs|Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)}}) which was a mark made by the Time Lords to signify that he was in [[exile]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Christmas on a Rational Planet (novel)}})
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on how the Third Doctor described his own appearance-->
The Doctor disliked his [[face]] at first, but quickly thought himself as looking "quite distinctive". ([[TV]]: {{cs|Spearhead from Space (TV story)}})
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on how others described the Third Doctor's appearance-->
[[File:ThirdDoctor-Tattoo-CloseUp.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor's [[convict tattoo]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Spearhead from Space (TV story)}})]]
Jo once described the Doctor as a "whirlwind in a [[frill]]y [[shirt]]," ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Doll of Death (audio story)}}) while [[Irongron]] described him as a "long-shanked [[rascal]], with a mighty nose." ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Time Warrior (TV story)}}) [[Cindy Wu]] commented that he had a "nice face" that looked "sort of old, but young at the same time." Though he appeared older than the [[Tenth Doctor]], Cindy found that she could tell the true difference in their [[age]] by looking into their [[eye]]s. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Lost Dimension (comic story)}}) [[Arthur Ollis]] described the Third Doctor as being "tall, [in] fancy get up, [with] white hair." ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Three Doctors (TV story)}})
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on how the other incarnations of the Doctor described the Third Doctor's appearance-->
The [[Fifth Doctor]] described his third incarnation as an "[[aristocrat]]", ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Five Card Draw (short story)}}) while the [[Sixth Doctor]] called him the "ruffle-shirted [[toff]] with the big nose", ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Shadow in the Glass (novel)}}) and "a tall [[chap]] with white hair and rather flamboyant [[cloth]]es". ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Urgent Calls (audio story)}}) The [[Seventh Doctor]] described him as "tall [and] white-haired". ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|First Frontier (novel)}})
 
When [[Affinity]] took on the Third Doctor's appearance, the [[Twelfth Doctor]] noted that his third incarnation had "[a] rather impressive [[height]], [with] an impressive bouffant of white hair." The manifestation appeared in a "ruffled shirt, purple velvet smoking [[jacket]], and scarlet-lined [[cape]]." ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Silhouette (novel)}})
 
=== Hair and grooming ===
Shortly after his regeneration, the Third Doctor possessed a flat, inconspicuous short-cut [[hairstyle]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Spearhead from Space (TV story)}}) that gradually evolved into a voluminous and exuberant bouffant. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Inferno (TV story)}}, {{cs|Terror of the Autons (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Dæmons (TV story)}}, etc.)
 
When [[Ace]] encountered the Third Doctor in the [[Seventh Doctor]]'s mind, she noticed that he had "a shock of white hair." ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Timewyrm: Revelation (novel)}}) [[River Song]] believed that the Third Doctor's hair made him look "like a [[lion]]", ([[GAME]]: {{cs|The Eternity Clock (video game)}}) while [[Winstanley]] mistook it for a [[wig]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Dæmons (TV story)}})
 
=== Clothing ===
==== Main attires ====
<!--Examples following this point focus on the Third Doctor's post-regeneration outfit-->
Following his [[regeneration]], the Doctor kept wearing a [[TARDIS homing watch]] on his left wrist and a flat metal chain bracelet on his right. After he stole [[cloth]]es from [[Ashbridge Cottage Hospital]], his outfit consisted of a [[white]] [[frill]]ed [[shirt]], a [[Navy (colour)|navy]] [[blue]] [[velvet]] [[suit]], [[black]] [[trouser]]s with [[suspender]]s, black dress [[shoe]]s, a black cravat and Dr. [[Beavis]]' black Inverness [[cape]] with red innings and his black [[fedora]] hat. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Spearhead from Space (TV story)}}) The Doctor had chosen these clothes to help him cultivate his chosen persona, but he eventually decided that the Fedora hat had been a mistake. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Prisoners of the Sun (short story)}}) He returned them after being recruited by UNIT, since one of his requests for his employment was identical clothing to call his own. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Spearhead from Space (TV story)}}) His choice of clothes would change with a variety of colours and designs that were kept in a wardrobe by the TARDIS control console. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Planet of the Daleks (TV story)}})
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on the Third Doctor's primary outfits-->
The Third Doctor wore a variety of smoking jackets and blazers, with colours and designs coming in navy blue with a rolled collar, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)}}) [[maroon]] with a rolled collar, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Terror of the Autons (TV story)}}) [[Rust (colour)|rust]] [[orange]] with a notched collar, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Curse of Peladon (TV story)}}) [[Olive (colour)|olive]] green with a notched collar, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Carnival of Monsters (TV story)}}) [[plum]] [[purple]] with a notched collar, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Planet of the Daleks (TV story)}}) [[petrol blue]] with [[scarlet]] piping on the notched lapel, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Green Death (TV story)}}) [[aquamarine]] with a notched collar, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Invasion of the Dinosaurs (TV story)}}) [[Emerald (colour)|emerald]] green with a notched collar, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Monster of Peladon (TV story)}}) grey with a notched collar, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Planet of the Spiders (TV story)}}) and deep red with a rolled collar. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Five Doctors (TV story)}})
 
His shirts were coloured in white, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)}})  [[Magenta (colour)|magenta]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Planet of the Daleks (TV story)}}) [[Lime (colour)|lime]] green, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Monster of Peladon (TV story)}}) [[sky blue]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Planet of the Spiders (TV story)}}) and purple. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Spear of Destiny (short story)}})


[[File:Three Having his Mug Shot Taken.jpg|thumb|The Doctor sarcastically poses for his mug shot. ([[TV]]: ''[[Invasion of the Dinosaurs]]'')]]
He wore a series of Inverness capes that could function as "[[para-cloak]]s" if needed, ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Hungry Planet (comic story)}}) which were coloured in red silk-lined black, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)}}) purple silk-lined black, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Terror of the Autons (TV story)}}) red and green tartan, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Curse of Peladon (TV story)}}) blue silk-lined black, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Three Doctors (TV story)}}) burnt orange silk-lined brown, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Carnival of Monsters (TV story)}}) grey checked with mid-blue lining, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Invasion of the Dinosaurs (TV story)}}) and brown tartan. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Five Doctors (TV story)}})
His fashions tended towards the ornate. He wore frilled shirts, velvet smoking jackets and Inverness cape outfits. He also wore a bow tie or cravat, like the Eighth and Eleventh Doctors. Other times, he would don a jabot or a pendant. Because of this, his first and second incarnations called him a "dandy." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Three Doctors (TV story)|The Three Doctors]]'')


The third incarnation of the Doctor was also keen on wearing decorative rings, riding gloves when driving Bessie or outdoors in general, and gradually moved from a flat, rather inconspicuous short-cut hairstyle to an ever-more voluminous and exuberant bouffant.
On his collars, he wore a black cravat, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)}}) a midnight blue cravat, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ambassadors of Death (TV story)}}) a white [[jabot]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Terror of the Autons (TV story)}}) a patterned jabot, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Dæmons (TV story)}}) a [[vermillion]] cravat, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Mutants (TV story)}}) a black bow tie, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Three Doctors (TV story)}}) a [[Bottle (colour)|bottle]] green bow tie, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Planet of the Daleks (TV story)}}) a [[Wine (colour)|wine]] red bow tie, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Green Death (TV story)}}) a [[cyan]] bow tie, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Time Warrior (TV story)}}) an [[Ivory (colour)|ivory]] bow tie ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Lost Dimension (comic story)}}) or he would go with an unbuttoned collar instead. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Day of the Daleks (TV story)}}) Sometimes, he would don a magnifying glass pendant. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Time Warrior (TV story)}})


He was once described as a "long-shanked rascal with a mighty nose." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time Warrior (TV story)|The Time Warrior]]'')
He sometimes wore either a [[grey]], zigzagged patterned waistcoat, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Curse of Peladon (TV story)}}) or a 6-buttoned [[crimson]] velvet collared vest with a golden [[fob watch]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Green Death (TV story)}}, {{cs|Death to the Daleks (TV story)}}) He also had a pair of knee-high [[wellington boot]]s. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Carnival of Monsters (TV story)}})


Sgt Benton believed that he was the only person who could get away with his cape. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Council of War (audio story)|Council of War]]'')
<!--Examples following this point focus on the Third Doctor's miscellaneous items of clothing-->
The Third Doctor was also keen on wearing decorative [[ring]]s, having a coin mounted on a silvery circlet on his left little finger, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Spearhead from Space (TV story)}}) and a plain one on his right little finger at some point. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Green Death (TV story)}}) He also sometimes wore riding gloves while driving [[Bessie]] ([[TV]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)}}) or outdoors in general. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Claws of Axos (TV story)}})


== Mysteries and discrepancies ==
Because of his more frilled and flamboyant fashion, his [[first incarnation]] sneeringly called him a "dandy," ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Three Doctors (TV story)}}) while his [[second incarnation]] labelled him "fancy pants". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Five Doctors (TV story)}}) Upon first seeing him, [[Morgan (Colony in Space)|Morgan]] thought that the Doctor was wearing "fancy dress". ([[TV]]: {{cs|Colony in Space (TV story)}})
[[File:ThirdDoctor-Tattoo-CloseUp.jpg|thumb|The Doctor's strange tattoo. ([[TV]]: ''[[Spearhead from Space (TV story)|Spearhead from Space]]'')]]
* The newly regenerated Doctor sported a tattoo on his right forearm. The image was of a snake, coiled into the shape of a question mark. ([[TV]]: ''[[Spearhead from Space]]'')
** One account suggests this was the mark made by the Time Lords to signify the Doctor was an exile. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Christmas on a Rational Planet]]'') No other incarnations of the Doctor have been shown to be tattooed.
** Fellow Time Lord, [[The Corsair]], adorned each of ''his'' new bodies with a tattoo of a snake in the form of an [[oroborus]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Wife (TV story)|The Doctor's Wife]]'')
* The Doctor implied on two occasions that he was thousands of years old. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Silurians]]'', ''[[The Mind of Evil (TV story)|The Mind of Evil]]'') If that was his intent, it seemed inconsistent with figures of his age given in later incarnations. Previous incarnations of the Doctor gave his age to "some hundred years".

=== Information from invalid sources ===
[[File:Devious.jpg|thumb|Pertwee in the ''Devious'' regeneration scene]]
In 1995, Pertwee reprised his role as the Doctor for the fan film ''[[Devious (home video)|Devious]]'', filming a regeneration scene to transition between the film's "Second-and-a-Doctor" and the Third Doctor. Audio from Pertwee's scene was later used for ''[[Zagreus (audio story)|Zagreus]]'', and parts of the film (including the regeneration scene) were included in the form of a [[Devious|trailer of sorts]] on the DVD release of ''[[The War Games (TV story)|The War Games]]''. However, this wiki deems ''Devious'' to be invalid, partially under the factor of it being fan-made, and additionally for being unreleased in full.
=== Casting ===
=== Casting ===
[[Ron Moody]] was approached by the producers after his success in "Oliver" but he turned down the role. He has stated in interviews that turning down the role of the Third Doctor was the worst thing he ever did professionally; every time he hears the familiar ''Doctor Who'' theme tune he kicks himself.{{fact}}
* [[Ron Moody]] was approached by the producers after his success in ''[[Oliver Twist]]'', but he turned down the role. He stated in interviews that turning down the role of the Third Doctor was the worst thing he ever did professionally.{{Fact}}
 
=== Costume influences ===
* The Third Doctor's wardrobe was more colourful and ornate than any of those of his previous incarnations partially because, in real life, the BBC was experimenting with various combinations of colours during [[Jon Pertwee]]'s tenure in the role to determine which ones would photograph best.{{Fact}}
* The Third Doctor's increasingly-bouffant hairstyle originated from [[Katy Manning]] teasing Pertwee about a tiny bald spot on the back of his head, and then recommending he make his hair "bigger" to cover the bald spot when he became self-conscious about it. ([[DCOM]]: ''[[Planet of the Daleks (TV story)|Planet of the Daleks]]'')
 
=== Reprising the role ===
* In early 1996, Pertwee reprised the role again for a [[Vodafone advertisement]], in which an unnamed government agent (played by Kyle MacLachlan) travels to [[Liverpool]] to prevent the construction of a dangerous time machine. When this device turns out to be an elaborate karaoke machine, the agent leaves – not realising that an actual alien time traveller, the Doctor, is coincidentally working in a garage two doors down. Pertwee died the following May.


=== Other matters ===
=== Other matters ===
* "Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow" was often thought to be this incarnation's most commonly-used quote. He in fact only says it fully on television in ''[[The Sea Devils]]'' and ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]''. There are several other occasions, as in ''[[The Dæmons]]'', where he mentions simply "reversing the polarity".
[[File:Third_Doctor_Illustration_in_DWM_122.jpg|thumb|right|Illustration of the Third Doctor in ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' [[DWM 122|122]], by [[Philip Cottrell]].]]
* [[Katy Manning]] has accepted responsibility for the Third Doctor's increasingly-bouffant hairstyle. She claimed that she teased Pertwee about a tiny bald spot on the back of his head until he became self-conscious about it. When she suggested he just put rollers in to make his hair "bigger" — and thereby cover the bald spot — he seized on the idea with alacrity. ([[DCOM]]: ''[[Planet of the Daleks]]'')
* The Third Doctor is unique in having first appeared in the title sequence before appearing in any actual scenes on the show.
* The tattoo this incarnation sports, visible on screen in ''[[Spearhead from Space]]'', was left over from Pertwee's days in the military.{{fact}}
* The tattoo visible on the Doctor's arm during ''[[Spearhead from Space (TV story)|Spearhead from Space]]'' was Pertwee's own, left over from his days in the navy. It can be seen more clearly in the 1955 film, ''A Yank in Ermine'', and its promotional images.<ref>''Moon Boots and Dinner Suits'', an autobiography by Jon Pertwee</ref>
{{Quote|A green and scarlet cobra was squirming itself into a question mark on my forearm. In the middle was a small letter C, which I could only assume stood for Carlotta.

* "[[Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow]]" is often thought to be the Third Doctor's most commonly-used quote, when he in fact only says it fully during his tenure in ''[[The Sea Devils (TV story)|The Sea Devils]]'', and then says it again when guest starring in ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]''. More often than not, he used the simplified saying, "reverse the polarity".

This article needs a big cleanup.

As detailed at Thread:264489, to avoid overly long articles, highly-recurring character pages' biography should only have AT MOST 2-3 sentences per story, not whole paragraphs of plot detail. This page needs a major cleanup in that area.

These problems might be so great that the article's factual accuracy has been compromised. Talk about it here or check the revision history or Manual of Style for more information.

Forced into an exile on Earth in the 20th century by the Time Lords, with his TARDIS rendered inoperable, the Third Doctor was a distinguished man of high class and gadgetry, often tinkering away with contraptions or working on his prized car, Bessie, when he was not assisting Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart and his UNIT troops Sergeant John Benton and Captain Mike Yates in their fight against invading aliens, working with them as their scientific advisor, initially alongside Dr. Liz Shaw, until she decided to return to the University of Cambridge to pursue her own work. The Doctor often took exception to the Brigadier's military approach, especially concerning the outcome of the Wenley Moor Affair, just as the Brigadier was frequently irritated by the Doctor's air of superiority and seeming disregard for authority, but they ultimately developed an easy mutual trust and strong friendship.

Following Liz's departure, the Doctor was given a new assistant named Jo Grant, who was as bubbly as she was unscientifically trained, but he developed a great fondness for her. No sooner had Jo arrived that the Third Doctor became entangled in an ongoing battle of wits against the Master, who also became stranded on Earth when the Doctor stole the dematerialisation circuit from the Master's TARDIS in an attempt to fix his own, until he was forced to return it during the Stangmoor Incident. However, the Master's attempt to ally with Axos forced him to ally with the Doctor, allowing him to trick his two foes into partially repairing his TARDIS, though with him stuck as a "galactic yo-yo" that would always have to return to his exile.

After the Master was finally arrested by UNIT following his failure to ally with the Dæmon Azal at Devil's End, the Doctor found himself pushing the limits of exile as he travelled to an alternate future ruled by Daleks, visited Peladon for the first time, and was even recruited by the Time Lords for a mission on 30th century Solos. After the Master escaped his imprisonment with aid from the Sea Devils, the Doctor and Jo ended up chasing him to Ancient Atlantis, where they stopped him harnessing the power of Kronos the Chronovore, though the Doctor allowed him to escape.

The Doctor's exile finally came to an end when the Time Lords united him with his first and second incarnations in the First Omega Crisis, with the Doctors' defeat of Omega in the anti-matter universe being rewarded with the Time Lords restoring the TARDIS to full working order. The Doctor tried to celebrate his new freedom by taking Jo to Metebelis III, but they ended up getting side-tracked by misadventures like the Daleks' Spiridon campaign. Eventually, Jo became homesick, and a return trip to Earth saw her leave the TARDIS to marry scientist Clifford Jones after meeting him at Llanfairfach while the Doctor was on Metebelis III. The Doctor gave her a Metebelis crystal as a wedding gift.

The Doctor would then adventure alone for some time, until he met journalist Sarah Jane Smith while saving UNIT associated scientists kidnapped to the 13th century by the Sontaran Linx. While she first tried to leave his company due to initially being an accidental stowaway, her aid to him during Operation Golden Age, which saw Yates betray UNIT due to his political beliefs, encouraged them to continue to travel together, visiting planets such as Exxilon, Florana and Peladon.

However, the Doctor's adventures came to an end when the Metebelis crystal was returned to him, heralding an invasion by the Eight Legs of Metebelis III to reclaim the crystal. With the aid of Sarah and a repentant Yates, the Doctor was encouraged by his childhood mentor to face the Eight Legs' Great One in the caves of Metebelis III to thwart their invasion, where he received a lethal dose of radiation as he escaped the cave's destruction in the TARDIS. The Doctor would be stuck wandering around the Time Vortex until the TARDIS "brought [him] home" to UNIT, where he managed to regenerate into a younger body.

Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]

A day to come[[edit] | [edit source]]

This section's awfully stubby.

Info from The Final Beginning and The Green Man need to be added.

The First Doctor would occasionally have premonitions of his future incarnations, (PROSE: A Big Hand for the Doctor [+]Loading...["A Big Hand for the Doctor (short story)"]) 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 [+]Loading...["Christmas on a Rational Planet (novel)"], Lungbarrow [+]Loading...["Lungbarrow (novel)"])

After returning from his role in the Omega crisis, (TV: The Three Doctors [+]Loading...["The Three Doctors (TV story)"]) the First Doctor retained a vague recollection of having met "a dandy and a clown" while he was away. (PROSE: The Empire of Glass [+]Loading...["The Empire of Glass (novel)"]) When the First Doctor learned that he was diverted from the South Pole by "forces from the future" to stop him from becoming an incarnation that would play a key role in a future conflict, he was informed by the Player that the incarnation in the conflict would not be his second or third incarnations. (AUDIO: The Plague of Dreams [+]Loading...["The Plague of Dreams (audio story)"]) Shortly before his regeneration, the First Doctor was told of "a few false starts" before he became the Twelfth Doctor, and was shown footage of the Third 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 [+]Loading...["Twice Upon a Time (TV story)"])

After being shot through the head, and injured during the subsequent fall off a walkway, the Second Doctor began to regenerate, but the process was halted by the Shiner tissue injected into him by the SILOET doctors, causing him to enter a six-month coma to heal his body without regenerating. (PROSE: The Indestructible Man [+]Loading...["The Indestructible Man (novel)"]) After teaming up with his third incarnation against Omega, (TV: The Three Doctors [+]Loading...["The Three Doctors (TV story)"]) the Second Doctor recalled how he "[met] [him]self with another face," (PROSE: Goodbyes [+]Loading...["Goodbyes (short story)"]) and how his "replacement" was "unpromising," (TV: The Five Doctors [+]Loading...["The Five Doctors (TV story)"]) as well as that he had promised to replace his recorder. (WC: Doctors Assemble! [+]Loading...["Doctors Assemble! (webcast)"])

After his struggle with the War Lords, the Second Doctor was sentenced by the Time Lords to a forced regeneration and Exile on Earth in the 20th century Time Zone, where he would be allowed to help protect the Earth, with his knowledge of TARDIS operation blocked. Though he was given the chance to pick his next appearance, the Doctor rejected all three of his options, so the Time Lords decided to pick for him. (TV: The War Games [+]Loading...["The War Games (TV story)"]) However, the Celestial Intervention Agency interceded with the sentence, turning the Doctor into their "hired gun." (PROSE: World Game [+]Loading...["World Game (novel)"]) Eventually, the Doctor's sentence of exile to Earth was enforced, (COMIC: Action in Exile [+]Loading...["Action in Exile (comic story)"]) but he was able to escape before the Time Lords could enforce a regeneration. (COMIC: The Night Walkers [+]Loading...["The Night Walkers (comic story)"])

Post-regeneration[[edit] | [edit source]]

Main article: Second Doctor's change of appearance
The Third Doctor stumbles out of his TARDIS after an imposed second regeneration. (TV: Spearhead from Space [+]Loading...["Spearhead from Space (TV story)"])

After being caught in a Time Lord trap that resulted in an enforced regeneration in his TARDIS, (COMIC: The Night Walkers [+]Loading...["The Night Walkers (comic story)"]) the freshly regenerated Doctor collapsed outside his TARDIS on 20th century Earth, near a UNIT patrol. He was taken to a hospital unconscious, where he suffered numerous moments of consciousness before falling unconscious again. Escaping from the hospital by appropriating an ornate outfit and commandeering a sporty antique roadster, the Doctor made his way to UNIT HQ to see Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart.

However, he was uneasy about the Brigadier since their last meeting and eager to reclaim his TARDIS key to escape the planet. However, the Doctor found not only that his knowledge on how to operate the TARDIS had been blocked, but also that the dematerialisation codes had been changed. Learning that, when he arrived on Earth, a swarm of power units for a non-physical alien intelligence known as the Nestene Consciousness had been uncovered, and that the Nestene Consciousness had an affinity for plastic and planned to replace key government and public figures with animated humanoid facsimiles called Autons, the Doctor agreed to work for UNIT for the time being.

With the help of Dr. Liz Shaw, the Doctor created a device to stop the Autons. The Brigadier feared that the Nestenes would return, and asked for the Doctor's continued assistance. The Doctor agreed to join UNIT as their scientific advisor, using the identity of Dr. John Smith, in exchange for facilities to repair the TARDIS. (TV: Spearhead from Space [+]Loading...["Spearhead from Space (TV story)"])

Summoned by the Brigadier to an underground research centre on Wenley Moor, the Doctor and Liz met Silurians, a species who had gone into hibernation millions of years earlier, revived by power from the research centre. The Doctor strove for peace between the reptiles and humans and gained the trust of the Silurian leader.

The Master tried to escape in Bessie, but the Doctor's remote control brought the car back and the Master was finally captured by UNIT. (TV: The Dæmons [+]Loading...["The Dæmons (TV story)"])

When a Mileu spaceship was sighted near East Anglia, the Doctor was reluctant to take action as he believed they were likely peaceful and was more intrigued by a device which had appeared in his TARDIS. He was visited at UNIT HQ by Prime Minister Jeremy Thorpe who was determined to persuade him to take action. The Doctor initially brushed him off however when a listlessness field began affecting the UK he hurried in Bessie to confront the Mileu with Jeremy alongside him. After they arrived at the coast near the spaceship, the Mileu teleported the pair aboard and revealed they were not responsible for the field, but were hunting the alien fugitive who was. Having deduced its purpose, the Doctor threatened to use the device to strengthen the field to affect the Mileu, promptong them to retreat. Afterwards Jeremy confessed he'd spoken to the alien fugitive when he'd called the Damascus project earlier in the day. Furious the project was still operating despite his objections, the Doctor abandoned the Prime Minister on the beach. From this incident Jeremy decided that the Doctor's morality was dangerous and recorded a message stating that the Doctor must be stopped. (AUDIO: Damascus [+]Loading...["Damascus (audio story)"])

Daleks subject the Doctor to mind analysis. (TV: Day of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Day of the Daleks (TV story)"])

Freedom fighters from an alternate 22nd century tried to thwart a Dalek invasion by coming to the 20th century to assassinate a delegate, Reginald Styles, at the second World Peace Conference in Auderly House. (TV: Day of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Day of the Daleks (TV story)"]) Whilst investigating the ghosts Styles had seen, the Doctor met Ace, who possessed a sword, and exchanged in a sword fight in which he emerged the victor, only for Ace to disappear when she grabbed his blade. (COMIC: Time & Time Again [+]Loading...["Time & Time Again (comic story)"]) After following the guerrillas back to the 22nd century, the Doctor realised that Styles' actions had instead been performed by Shura, one of the fighters, in a misguided attempt to fulfil his mission, creating a temporal paradox. After travelling to the 20th century, the Doctor returned to ensure the evacuations of the delegates, having the Brigadier order his men to fall back and allow the Daleks to pass. The Daleks and Ogrons arrived in pursuit of the Doctor, but both were destroyed when Shura detonated his bomb. This intervention broke the paradox so the Dalek invasion never took place. (TV: Day of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Day of the Daleks (TV story)"])

Directly after fighting the Daleks, the Doctor met journalist James Stevens. Stevens had been researching the Doctor ever since his exile began, along with UNIT, and was being attacked by an Ogron, from whom the Doctor saved him. The Doctor had seen James's newscast, where he claimed that "Victor Magister" headed the government organisation C19. James was sent to a UNIT bunker, where he was given the Doctor's number. Over the phone, James described a golden ring he had found. The Doctor identified it as a time ring and gave James instructions on how to use it. Following these instructions, James travelled back to 1963, where he stopped the Master from destroying Earth. Watching the events unfold, the Doctor decided to visit his old friend in prison. (PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy [+]Loading...["Who Killed Kennedy (novel)"])

On Halloween, the Doctor and Jo investigated a signal being broadcasted into the Time Vortex from New Alverton by a Dalek left over from the Auderly House attack. The Doctor took the Dalek back to UNIT under the agreement he would use equipment from the TARDIS to send a distress call to the Daleks, but the Doctor really intended to harvest the time-codes to repair his ship, knowing the Dalek's jury-rigged repairs would make it a target for extermination. When the Dalek realised the deceit, it tried to kill the Doctor by self-destructing, but the Doctor managed to deactivate it before it could explode. The Doctor was saddened, believing the Dalek had started to develop a conscience. (PROSE: The Monster in the Woods [+]Loading...["The Monster in the Woods (short story)"])

During an invasion by silver crabs along the British coastline, the Brigadier and the rest of UNIT began to find it difficult to remember the Master when they were called in to investigate a mysterious incident on a North Sea drilling platform. The Doctor deduced the silver crabs were Sild, and were causing everyone to forget the Master by what he called "time fade". The Doctor decided he had to spring the Master from his prison at Durlsdon Heath before the Sild got to him, but his time ran out and the Brigadier had to have the RAF blow up the prison. In the aftermath, the Doctor and the Master travelled to the far future to destroy the Consolidator and all the Sild on board. Sometime later, the Doctor returned to UNIT, without the Master. Then, the Master also showed up to gloat, but once again UNIT were able to successfully arrest him and take him away. (PROSE: Harvest of Time [+]Loading...["Harvest of Time (novel)"])

Thinking he had fixed the TARDIS, the Doctor and Jo took it on a test flight, but due to the Time Lords's interference, (PROSE: The Face of the Enemy [+]Loading...["The Face of the Enemy (novel)"]) the Doctor accidentally landed the TARDIS on the ledge of a great cliff, which gave way and caused it to fall to the bottom of the chasm, on Peladon. After a cautious climb to safety in the middle of a turbulent storm, the Doctor and Jo entered the citadel of Prince Peladon, where the Doctor was mistaken for a human dignitary summoned to act as chairman of a committee assessing an application by the planet to join the Galactic Federation, where delegates consisted of the Ice Warrior Izlyr, the Alpha Centauri and Arcturus. There proved to be a conspiracy between a Federation delegate and the High Priest of Peladon, and the Doctor and Jo revealed this conspiracy to the Prince. When the delegates began to point fingers at each other in blame, the Doctor himself accused, all suspicions were rendered futile.

However, the Doctor discovered that Peladonians worshipped a mythical beast named Aggedor, which turned out to be real. After encountering it, he learned that a Venusian lullaby could calm it, that it feared fire, and that it could fall under hypnosis. Aggedor was simply a wild creature confined to the citadel in a temple, but the Doctor faced a punishment of execution for desecrating the inner sanctum of Aggedor's temple. Through a plea, he was allowed to battle for survival in a pit fight against the mute warrior Grun instead. The Doctor won the match and spared Grun, since he was a simple and frightened soul at heart. However, delegate Arcturus revealed himself as a traitor working for Hepesh and attempted to snipe the Doctor from above the pit, however, Ssorg killed Arcturus before he could kill the Doctor.

Hepesh had refused to let Peladon join the Federation because he held fast to the old customs of the planet, which would soon be abandoned if an alliance changed the ways it was governed. He used Aggedor to kill Torbis, let Aggedor run wild through the citadel and cause chaos and framed the Ice Warriors as part of a bid to sabotage the delegation, creating dissent between all parties. The Doctor brought Aggedor to the Prince of Peladon so he would also learn of its presence, but Hepesh tried to command it to kill as its High Priest and appointed ruler. He intimidated Aggedor with a torch, thinking it would obey out of fear, but instead, it provoked Aggedor into fatally mauling him. With the traitors condemned, relations between the Federation and the Peladon Kingdom were improved. After the TARDIS had been heaved up the mountainside, the Doctor and Jo had to disembark immediately from Peladon when the real Earth delegate arrived and they were outed as impostors. (TV: The Curse of Peladon [+]Loading...["The Curse of Peladon (TV story)"])

The Doctor and Jo were then transported to 1973 by a time twister operated by Casimer, a young girl from the 23rd century, who the Doctor helped send home, (PROSE: The Sommerton Fetch [+]Loading...["The Sommerton Fetch (short story)"]) and encountered what they believed to be ghosts, but they were actually Psion orbs, items made to project emotion, (PROSE: Spoilsport [+]Loading...["Spoilsport (short story)"]) before returning to UNIT HQ.

One night, Tuala broke into UNIT headquarters and took Jo hostage. The Brigadier attached a homing device to her getaway vehicle so the Doctor could pursue them in Bessie. The Doctor reached the house that Jo was being kept in, but Tuala used a black box to transport herself and Jo away. After finding a newspaper mentioning Bernard Forbes' death, the Brigadier and the Doctor visited his wife to talk to her about Bernard's death, but found him alive in a deteriorating mental state. The Doctor deduced that Tuala's uncle, Krashen, was changing history for money. Confronting him, the Doctor pointed out that time was destroying the house, Bernard Forbes, and Krashen himself. Krashen used his machine to take himself and the Doctor to the bedroom at the time Jo and Tuala were in it. Tuala and Krashen faded away. The Doctor and Jo then barricaded the landing to delay the entrance of the earlier Jo and Tuala. The Doctor fixed the time machine and the room exploded. After waking in the UNIT sickbay, the Doctor travelled to Forbes' house to find that Bernard had just vanished after time was put right.

Later, the Master switched bodies with the Doctor in an attempt to escape incarceration. In the Master's body, the Doctor lured his guards into his room and attacked them, but was eventually restrained and locked up again. Realising that he would be back in his cell soon, the Master decided against leaving a trap for the Doctor as it would be more confounding for him if he did not. After being put back in his own body, the Doctor apologised to Jo for "his" rudeness that day. (PROSE: The Switching [+]Loading...["The Switching (short story)"])

The Doctor, Jo and the Brigadier encountered space-hounds who wore metal suits, who started pursuing them. The Brigadier killed one by shooting it with a bazooka, and Jo killed another by user her hand mirror to reflect a laser beam. Upon regrouping with Yates and Benton, the Doctor used his sonic screwdriver and a loudspeaker as a dog-whistle to knock the rest unconscious.

The Doctor and Jo visited the Master, now imprisoned on Fortress Island. He claimed to have reformed, but still refused to reveal the location of his TARDIS. As they left, the governor, Colonel Trenchard, told them ships had been disappearing. The Doctor investigated, and discovered that the Master had used Trenchard's sense of duty to manipulate him into stealing electrical equipment from the naval base HMS Seaspite to build a machine to control the Sea Devils, hoping to use the reptiles to conquer the world. The Doctor entered the Sea Devils' base and tried to encourage peaceful negotiation, but the Royal Navy, under orders from Private Secretary Walker, attacked the base with depth charges, causing more hostilities between humans and Sea Devils. The Doctor escaped with the captured navy crewmembers and their submarine, and returned to HMS Seaspite, which was promptly captured by the Master and the Sea Devils.

The Master forced the Doctor to create a sonar device that would reactivate more Sea Devil bases, but the Doctor plugged it in improperly, creating a noise that temporarily incapacitated the Sea Devils, and allowing time for Jo and Captain Hart to gain reinforcements to recapture HMS Seaspite. The Doctor chased the Master and his device into the Sea Devil base, and overloaded the device by reversing the polarity. This destroyed the base, preventing more bases from being activated and stopping the war. With the Sea Devils destroyed, the Doctor was prepared to return the Master to prison, but the Master successfully made his escape. (TV: The Sea Devils [+]Loading...["The Sea Devils (TV story)"]) Returning to UNIT HQ, the Doctor met his eighth incarnation, who had lost his memory. The Third Doctor blamed the Eighth Doctor for the advice he gave the Second Doctor which led to his exile, as well as the Master's concurrent escape. At first, he threatened him with the Tissue Compression Eliminator, but tossed the weapon to him instead. Having regained the memories of his third incarnation, the Eighth Doctor left.

The Doctor asked a noveliser named Huxley to latch on to Jo in the future to rewrite her memories so that she would think she worked with Iris Wildthyme not him. This was to protect her when they stopped travelling and working together as she could be used to get to the Doctor. Apologising to Jo, he set Huxley on the Master.

The Doctor and Jo travelled to Greece in the 1950s. As they left the TARDIS, an earthquake occurred and it fell into a crevice. They saw it fall again and realised that they were in a time loop. They met a man called Katsoudas, who claimed to be on a mission for the Time Lords. They headed to Katsoudas's dig site, where the benefactor of the experiments was revealed to be the Master, who was trapped in a time loop, along with the Odobenidan crew of a spaceship. The Master was using earthquakes to free himself, despite the damage to Earth's Mediterranean region. After Nikos Spiridakis meddled with the controls for the Master's equipment, the Master fled in his TARDIS. Katsoudas told the Doctor of his plans to continue his experiments with the alien equipment, but the Doctor wouldn't allow it and removed him from his own time to protect the Web of Time.

The Time Lords ordered the Doctor to deliver an object to an unknown person in the 30th century, near the end of the Earth Empire, on the colony world of Solos, where the humans were becoming hideous mutants. The Doctor, with the help of Professor Sondergaard, discovered the transformation was a natural part of the Solonian life cycle. A Solonian leader, Ky, eventually went into his metamorphosis and killed the Marshal of Solos, who had been committing genocide against the mutants. The Doctor was instrumental in finding the crystal on Solos that was necessary to spark their final metamorphosis into a higher existence for the coming of the planet's long summer climate.

The Doctor and Jo travelled to the prehistoric jungle planet Quorus and noticed that the Master was controlling a dinosaur-like animal with a gadget. They saw him collect something and then leave in his TARDIS. They tracked him to Earth, but lost him when they entered the atmosphere. After a similar creature destroyed a warehouse, the Doctor and Jo, with armed forces, travelled there and found rubble and an egg shell. The Doctor realised the Master's plan and after hearing a report of a trail leading to the top-secret weapons research station Darisdale, he and Jo headed there in Bessie.

They arrived at Darisdale, but were refused entry by a Major. As they turned around and drove away, the Master watched them and set the giant animal after them. In a quick effort, the Doctor pressed a button on Bessie's dashboard which ejected oil, stopping the monster in its tracks. The Master teleported the creature to Trafalgar Square, but the Doctor used an ultra-sonic whistle to bring it out of the Master's control. The creature was stopped and killed, the Master escaped and the Doctor stayed behind to witness the staff of Darisdale being placed under arrest.

Unable to cope with the two Time Lord minds at once, it perished, healing the Doctor in the process and negating the regeneration.

Dantalion offered the Doctor a drink, but it contained a paralysing agent. He planned to cut the Doctor up for medical research, as he had done to the missing people. Jo came in with a pistol and Dantalion was detained. When the Doctor compared his behaviour to that of a doctor, he realised Dantalion was an actual doctor. As a convoy took Dantallion away, the Doctor bid farewell to Dantalion, but not before he signed over the country manor to him, allowing the Doctor to gain a new base for UNIT, saving their funding from the government.

When the Fourth Doctor used his TARDIS tuner to begin a temporal meta-collision with his other incarnations, the Third Doctor learnt that Earth was under threat from a pandimensional entity that had trapped his fourth incarnation in his TARDIS. The Third Doctor took charge of the situation, organising his other incarnations into teams to combat the threat of the entity and free their fourth incarnation. However, the War Doctor realised that the Sixth Doctor was sending encoded messages on how to defeat the entity and stopped the invasion, and the Sixth Doctor installed a way to expel the entity from the Fourth Doctor's TARDIS, ending the crisis. (WC: Doctors Assemble! [+]Loading...["Doctors Assemble! (webcast)"])

The Doctor discovered that the Master had constructed a device known as TOMTIT and commissioned scientists, Ruth Ingram and Stuart Hyde, to further its work at the Newton Institute. The device let the Master pluck various objects from history out of their proper setting and slow down time, though the Master's true goal was to summon the Chronovore Kronos and use its incredible might for conquest. Pursuing him in the Time Vortex, the Doctor accidentally materialised his TARDIS inside the Master's, locking both in a space loop. After much arguing between him and the Doctor, the Master forcibly separated their TARDISes, but launched the Doctor into the Time Vortex. Fortunately, the Doctor used his binary cardiovascular system and the telepathic circuits of his TARDIS to communicate with Jo and instruct her to materialise him back in his TARDIS by using an emergency switch on the console.

The Doctor, Jo and the Master travelled to ancient Atlantis for the other half of the crystal needed to control Kronos, where the Doctor and Jo temporarily enjoyed victory over the Master. However, the Master's charm won over King Dalios's wife, Queen Galleia, making her turn against Dalios's rule. When a guard killed Dalios, however, Galleia turned against the Master in anger, and summoned Kronos with the crystal, resulting in the city's destruction. The Master escaped the destruction, but took Jo hostage in his TARDIS. The Doctor threatened to time ram the Master's TARDIS, but the Master knew he would not risk Jo's safety. Jo, however, tried to carry out the time ram on her own. To their surprise, Kronos itself intervened and told the Doctor and Jo that it was above good and evil. It would grant any wish they desired, but wanted to inflict an everlasting punishment on the Master for trying to control it. The Doctor, knowing that this fate was too cruel, asked that the Master be spared and that he and Jo were sent home to Earth. (TV: The Time Monster [+]Loading...["The Time Monster (TV story)"])

Whilst at UNIT with Tom Osgood, the Doctor noticed he could only communicate using the vowel "o" and "y". The Doctor and Osgood headed for the Doctor's hut to work on a device that would block the invaders named the Kobolds' signals. However, the Doctor became frustrated with Osgood and stormed into the TARDIS, where he learned he could speak normally. The Kobolds broke in and attacked the Doctor, and, after they seemingly overpowered him, they headed inside the TARDIS, although this was part of the Doctor's plan. When Forty noticed the roundels in the TARDIS, he was distracted long enough for the Doctor to take him back to his planet, Procyon Two. (PROSE: Morphology [+]Loading...["Morphology (short story)"])

Along with seven other incarnations, the Third Doctor became trapped in the Void when it began to attack and devour the universe, passing through the Tenth Doctor's TARDIS as he was pulled in.

The Doctor and Jo try to escape a miniscope. (TV: Carnival of Monsters [+]Loading...["Carnival of Monsters (TV story)"])

The Doctor and Jo wound up on the SS Bernice, a cargo ship crossing the Indian Ocean. A monster appeared in the sea, events repeated themselves, and a giant hand stole the TARDIS. Investigation revealed that they were inside a miniscope, an alien peepshow sporting numerous miniaturised environments, which showman Vorg and his assistant, Shirna, had brought to amuse the populace of the planet Inter Minor. After leaving the miniscope, the Doctor returned the creatures to their homes and destroyed the machine, allowing him to return to normal size. (TV: Carnival of Monsters [+]Loading...["Carnival of Monsters (TV story)"]) While working on the miniscope, he encountered River Song. (AUDIO: Peepshow [+]Loading...["Peepshow (audio story)"])

(PROSE: Revenge of the Phantoms [+]Loading...["Revenge of the Phantoms (short story)"])

The Doctor visited Freedonia, a planet that he had been to before when helping in a revolution. He discovered the people were now slaves to Kamoa, one of the leaders of the revolution who was now nothing more than a brain. Jo convinced one of Kamoa's servants, Bolgar, to unplug the brain, freeing the people. (COMIC: After the Revolution [+]Loading...["After the Revolution (comic story)"])

The Doctor and Jo visited a rock concert on the planet Rishik, where an earthquake occurred. The Doctor rushed back to the TARDIS, where he discovered that the quake had affected the entire planet except for the house of Genus Fry, the planet's most famous rock star. The Doctor discovered that Fry was a psychic, who could see into the future, but for the last ten years could only see darkness. He was visited by two Rock-based Tuns, Oke and Erm, who revealed that the planet had nuclear power stations on each side, which posed a threat to the planet, and Fry agreed to help create the earthquakes, choosing the lesser of two evils. The Doctor was able to stop the earthquakes with Fry's help, but Fry died in the process. His mind, however, was placed into a spare Tun body, and the Doctor stated that now he was a true "rock star". (PROSE: Rock Star [+]Loading...["Rock Star (short story)"])

The Doctor then took a trip to an island in the Bermuda Triangle so that Jo could sunbathe, but discovered a tall man lived on the island. The man thought them to be gifts from God and Santa Claus and did not ask to be rescued, so they left without him. (PROSE: Lost and Founded [+]Loading...["Lost and Founded (short story)"])

Jo and the Doctor then went to a desert planet, where two sisters, Sophia and Alice, were competing to become queen. The final task was to guess the three objects in a sealed temple.

The Spiridon gambit[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Draconian Emperor permits the Doctor to mount an expedition to the Ogron planet. (TV: Frontier in Space [+]Loading...["Frontier in Space (TV story)"])

Upon arriving on an Earth freighter, the Doctor and Jo were caught up in the escalating tension between planets Earth and Draconia. The Doctor landed his ship in an Earth cargo ship to avoid a collision, but could not properly speak to the crew, as Ogrons boarded it, making off with the TARDIS. Unfortunately, a strange noise caused the human crew to see the Ogrons as though they were Draconians, and they believed the Doctor and Jo had led them onto the ship as spies for Draconia. The two of them were imprisoned on Earth and were unable to convince their captors that they were innocent.

The Doctor was sent to a penal colony on the Moon, where the Peace Party plotted an escape, while Jo was greeted by the Master, posing as a commissioner from Sirius IV and arranged for the release of the Doctor from the penal colony after intervening with a sabotage of the Peace Party's escape plot. They soon discovered that the Master was secretly working with the Ogrons to provoke the two sides into all-out war under the orders of the Daleks, using hypnosound technology to confuse them into thinking humans and Draconians were attacking each other. His plans to kidnap them failed when the ship violated Draconian territory, causing Draconians to seize control of it and bring the Doctor, Jo, and the Master to their home world to face judgement by their own emperor.

Fortunately, the Doctor was able to convince the Draconian Emperor that they were being tricked into attacking humans. He sent the Doctor back to Earth with his son, the prince of Draconia, to convince the President of Earth they had been wronged, but the Master sent the Ogrons to attack them and they captured Jo. Unable to turn back because Earth and Draconia were on the brink of war, the Doctor continued to Earth and explained the deception to its President. He also had to reason with the unyielding General John Williams, who joined the expedition to the Ogron planet, and the group rescued Jo after she managed to resist the Master's hypnosound technology and radioed for help.

The Master anticipated the arrival of the Doctor, having both the Ogrons and Daleks wait for their arrival. He captured the expedition group and promised the Gold Dalek that he would turn over the Doctor to the Daleks for extermination. Fortunately, Jo had pocketed the Master's hypnosound device, and the Doctor used it to frighten the Ogrons into thinking their Dalek masters were terrorising them. In this panic, the Master cornered the Doctor and Jo before they retrieved the TARDIS, pointing a blaster at the Doctor, firing the gun by accident when Ogrons overran him. Though Jo wrestled the gun from the Master as he was swept out of the room by their lumbering bodies, but his shot had grazed the Doctor's forehead and had badly wounded him.

Barely conscious, the Doctor had Jo help him into the TARDIS, where he sent a message to the Time Lords, asking them to pilot his TARDIS and follow the Daleks to their new base. (TV: Frontier in Space [+]Loading...["Frontier in Space (TV story)"]) Whilst there was a dissenting account of these events that claimed the Doctor had been in good health as he escaped, even having a brief battle of words with the Master before boarding the TARDIS in which the Doctor admitted he would never be able to kill his old friend, (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Space War [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Space War (novelisation)"]) Jo brought the Doctor over to a collapsible bed within the TARDIS console room so he could rest. The Doctor told Jo he would heal, but it would take time. He gave her a tricorder to log anything unusual that happened while he was unconscious, and drifted into a temporary coma.

After the Doctor regained consciousness, he wanted to find Jo to show her he was now healthy. However, Jo had left him to find help and was presumed deceased by a group of Thals she found. He eventually found Jo alive and safe, learning that the Spiridons were a peaceful race forced into violence and experimentation by the Daleks. The group discovered a base with more than ten-thousand Daleks hibernating and buried deep in the ground, and the Doctor figured out they were vulnerable to extreme cold after noticing they slowed down during the nightfall that brought temperatures below freezing on Spiridon. The Daleks were eliminated by using the natural eruptions of liquid ice on Spiridon against them, liberating the Thals, the captive Spiridons, and removing the danger the Dalek army posed to other neighbouring races in the galaxy. (TV: Planet of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Planet of the Daleks (TV story)"])

After Spiridon[[edit] | [edit source]]

As the Doctor prepared to return to Earth on Jo's request, the TARDIS was drawn to the planet Far, a planet on the far limits of Earth's empire, where the Doctor had once assisted in the construction of a hypergate to help ships travelling long distances. Discovering that the abandoned planet had a platoon of Daleks on it, the Doctor and Jo were separated when they tried to escape, the Doctor falling into an underground chamber while Jo met a member of the local resistance. The Doctor was able to make his way to a Dalek fuelling station run by human slaves who had suffered serious mutations due to exposure to the radioactive substances the Daleks used for fuel, where he met Jickster, the admiral who had once been in charge of Far's defences and was now the least twisted of the Dalek slaves. Jickster and the Doctor were able to steal a Dalek saucer and reactivate the hypergate, allowing them to escape and make contact with an Earth Alliance fleet. Talking with Jickster, the Doctor learned that the Daleks had two secret weapons on Far; a Dalek army in stasis, numbering over a million Daleks, and a giant transmitter that would broadcast a signal enabling the Daleks to turn the attacking Earth fleet into Robomen slaves en masse once they got into range. Although Jo was nearly forced to help set a trap for the Doctor, the Doctor managed to return to Far in his stolen saucer, accompanied by an Earth Alliance strike team. The Doctor managed to reprogram the robotisation weapon to target the Dalek army, with the overload of Dalek instructions causing them to self-destruct, with the Alliance fleet eliminating the rest.

The Doctor then travelled to Catastrophea, where he stopped Rekar from beating one of the natives. He was put on trial, with Rekar trying to use his power to win the cart over, but was freed, with punishment going to Rekar instead. Because of this, the Doctor became the icon of the revolution and was able to help them when Rekar's men took the TARDIS. He was also given the challenge of stopping Draconians from taking over the planet. In the end, he was able to convince the Draconians to give time for the colonists to evacuate.

A clinic using technology from the future attracted the Doctor's interest when he and Jo learned of two suicides where the victims' bodies had begun "evolving" before they died. The Doctor believed that the Master was involved before the Monk showed himself. When the Doctor confronted the Monk about his plans, the Monk tried to force the Doctor to help Doctor Kurdi perfect her serum by infecting Jo with a lethal virus that could only be cured by Kurdi's process. The Doctor was able to both perfect the serum and a means of negating it, but the situation was complicated when the test subjects in the clinic attacked the others, intending to spread out and convert all of humanity into the 'New Humans'. With the aid of a patient who had developed psychic powers to compensate for his quadriplegic body, the Doctor was able to devise a cure that could be dispersed through the clinic's air circulation system. The Doctor stole the Monk's dimensional buffers before his escape. (AUDIO: The Rise of the New Humans [+]Loading...["The Rise of the New Humans (audio story)"])

The Doctor returned to Peladon, and found a refugee camp of Ice Warriors displaced from New Mars during the Martian Civil War. Staying to offer his counsel to King Peladon, the Doctor discovered Peladon's spokesman for the refugees, Lord Vaarnak, had been murdered. The next morning, Peladon told the Doctor the legend of the Prisoner of Peladon, and the Doctor realised Lord Axlaar was the murderer of Lord Vaarnak, who had done so because his family had been dishonoured when Vaarnak didn't align with Grand Marshall Raxlyr, and that the Alpha Centauri was hiding Princess Lixgaar in the chamber.

The Doctor took King Peladon, Lord Axlaar and Sslurn, Axlaar's accomplice, to the chamber of the Prisoner. There, the Doctor knocked at the chamber doors, which Centauri opened from inside. The Doctor called for Princess Lixgaar within the chamber, whom Axlaar threatened with his sonic disruptor. The Doctor attacked Axlaar in the chest; the blast of the disruptor hitting Sslurn. Axlaar took aim again at the princess, swatting the Doctor aside, and King Peladon threw himself at him in a blind rage, throwing him out a window.

The Doctor tries to reason with himself. (COMIC: Day of the Tune [+]Loading...["Day of the Tune (comic story)"])

The Third Doctor attempted to form a band with his first, second and fourth incarnations, but creative differences, and the fact that they all wanted to play the drums, broke them up. (COMIC: Day of the Tune [+]Loading...["Day of the Tune (comic story)"]) Aided by his other incarnations and their companions, the Third Doctor helped Dan Dare to fight off the Mekon and his army of Treens, Daleks, Ice Warriors, Cybermen, Sontarans and Draconians in 1991. (COMIC: Comic Relief Comic [+]Loading...["Comic Relief Comic (comic story)"])

The Doctor travelled with Lord Joshua Douglas for ten years, (AUDIO: The Catalyst [+]Loading...["The Catalyst (audio story)"], The Time Vampire [+]Loading...["The Time Vampire (audio story)"]) and accidentally took the Brigadier with him to a far off planet after he received a distress signal, landing in a replica of Waterloo Station.

Craving a new companion, the Doctor invited Victoria Waterfield back into the TARDIS, but she declined. (PROSE: Downtime [+]Loading...["Downtime (novelisation)"]) The Doctor eventually returned to UNIT at Christmas. Both without companionship, the Doctor and Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart spent Christmas together at the Doctor's country house on Allen Road. (PROSE: Faithful Friends: Part 1 [+]Loading...["Faithful Friends: Part 1 (short story)"])

While tinkering with Bessie, the Doctor was contacted by Bernice Summerfield, and told that the Sirens of Time had hijacked the first Gallifreyan experiment of time travel, turning it into a time paradox that was splitting the universe apart. While the experiment had already been stopped, the Time Lords were in danger of not discovering time travel. Along with his next five incarnations, the Third Doctor was brought to the planet Henlen to serve as one of the six pilots needed to handle the TARDIS prototype, while his two previous incarnations and the Tenth Doctor stayed behind to deal with the possible backlash. The experiment was successful, restoring the correct timeline and the Third Doctor was taken back to his own time by Benny. (AUDIO: Collision Course [+]Loading...["Collision Course (audio story)"])

Meeting Sarah Jane Smith[[edit] | [edit source]]

The new TARDIS team. (TV: The Time Warrior [+]Loading...["The Time Warrior (TV story)"])

Journalist Sarah Jane Smith impersonated her aunt, virologist Lavinia Smith, to gain access to a UNIT research centre. Top scientists were being held there in protective custody while the Doctor investigated the disappearances of their colleagues.

The missing scientists had been kidnapped by a Sontaran commander named Linx, and taken to England in the Middle Ages, where they were working under hypnosis to repair his crashed spaceship. The Doctor helped return the scientists home with Linx's osmic projector. The premature take-off of the Sontaran ship caused the destruction of Irongron's castle, along with the anachronistic weapons Linx had provided to Irongron. (TV: The Time Warrior [+]Loading...["The Time Warrior (TV story)"])

The Doctor, Sarah, Jeremy Fitzoliver and the Brigadier went to Space World, a new amusement park, to investigate a death that had occurred nearby. The park was run by Naglons disguised as humans, who wanted to hypnotise the humans to do their bidding. The aliens left Earth, but not before they captured Sarah and Jeremy. The Doctor and the Brigadier travelled to Parakon to retrieve them. (AUDIO: The Paradise of Death [+]Loading...["The Paradise of Death (audio story)"])

Exploits with Sarah[[edit] | [edit source]]

During a visit to Varium III, the Doctor and Sarah were accused of sending down streaks of fire that had destroyed the crops of the planet, and were sentenced to death by Marshal Zona. However, the Doctor was able to convince Zona to give him time to help, and he found out that a rare storm on Varium III, combined with its stable climate and weak sun, had awoken a virus that had wiped out the vegetation. After some failed trials, the Doctor discovered that sodium chloride was the key to stopping the virus, and helped Zona build pumps to pump seawater from the nearby ocean onto the land, and also taught the people how to fish to give them a different source of food. (PROSE: Scorched Earth [+]Loading...["Scorched Earth (short story)"])

A large cloud of deadly gas created from the destruction of a star nearly destroyed Earth, but the Doctor was able to discern that it was not natural, and was, in fact, an attempt by the Zircon to wipe out Earth. The Doctor and Sarah alerted the Brigadier and the Prime Minister. The Doctor was able to use the satellites of Earth to set off an explosion to destroy the cloud and the Zircon. (COMIC: Doomcloud [+]Loading...["Doomcloud (comic story)"])

The Doctor and Sarah then accidentally travelled into a parallel Earth where they were human criminals. They were able to escape by travelling into a primitive Earth, where they left their counterparts, returning home. (COMIC: Who's Who? [+]Loading...["Who's Who? (comic story)"])

The Doctor aims his stun gun at an apatosaurus. (TV: Invasion of the Dinosaurs [+]Loading...["Invasion of the Dinosaurs (TV story)"])

The Doctor and Sarah arrived in 1970s London to find that it had been evacuated because of dinosaurs. The dinosaurs were being brought to London through time eddys in a plan to revert Earth to a pre-technological level. The masterminds behind the Operation Golden Age scheme, Whitaker and Charles Grover, were accidentally transported to pre-historic Earth. (TV: Invasion of the Dinosaurs [+]Loading...["Invasion of the Dinosaurs (TV story)"])

Attempting to travel to Florana, the Doctor and Sarah arrived at Cerulean, which was being attacked by missiles from the planet Sedna. The Doctor was able to create a barrier, and the aliens soon began to speak of peace, requesting that the Doctor represent the planet Cerulean, but, before he could, he detected a future version of his TARDIS about to crash into his and left. (PROSE: Neptune [+]Loading...["Neptune (short story)"])

Still en route to Florana, the TARDIS ran afoul of a device that neutralised its power, causing it to crash on the planet Exxilon. Forced to postpone their travel plans, the Doctor and Sarah were met by the primitive natives with aggression. Their issues compounded when they met other parties afflicted by the same device. The Doctor encountered Marine Space Corps members seeking Parrinium, a cure for a space-plague, who were starting to grow restless and fearful after losing some of the crew's commanders, which left Dan Galloway in charge and on edge. The Daleks also landed for the same purpose. The Doctor and the Daleks discovered the Great City of the Exxilons, a large city with a power-disrupting tower preventing technology from working. The natives had become victims of their own technology when it gained sentience and drove them out of their city. This forced them into the wilderness with no means of technology, where they remained for so long it caused them to regress to more primitive ways and worship the city that destroyed them.

However, as the Doctor and Sarah encountered the brutish natives, they also ran into a faction that wished to destroy the city, and befriended Bellal. The Doctor listened to the plight of Bellal's people and agreed to put an end to it with his help. With Bellal's help, he sought to disrupt their city's functions and remove the power-disrupting facility, though it required him and the humans to infiltrate the city's defences and get through several puzzles. Although the Daleks were incapable of using their gunsticks and were left in a rare state of vulnerability that took its toll when the Daleks where picked off by Exxilons and the city's traps alike, they resorted to using ordinary guns to coerce the Doctor and company into following their orders. The Daleks ordered humans to place bombs around the city's central tower to destroy it. The city was destroyed, as was the Dalek space ship, when Galloway chose to atone for his ruthlessness as the acting commander by sacrificing his life to manually detonate bombs placed aboard the vessel. Though the Marine Space Corps could now retrieve their cure on future missions to Exxilon, the Doctor regretted having to destroy the Exxilon's city and lamented the loss of one of the universe's wonders. (TV: Death to the Daleks [+]Loading...["Death to the Daleks (TV story)"])

The Doctor, Sarah, Jeremy, and the Brigadier travelled to San Stefano Minore and encountered ghosts crossing from Null-Space to Earth. (AUDIO: The Ghosts of N-Space [+]Loading...["The Ghosts of N-Space (audio story)"])

The Doctor and Sarah finally arrived on Florana in 5968, just as the Chelonian Empire was to sign a treaty with humanity. There, Sarah overheard two Chelonians discussing how one had poisoned the emperor's drink, and went to warn the delegates. The Doctor noticed the emperor's strange actions and poured a bucket of water down his throat, thus removing the poison. (PROSE: The Hungry Bomb [+]Loading...["The Hungry Bomb (short story)"])

The Doctor and Sarah visited Bob Dovie at 59A Barnsfield Crescent in Totton, Hampshire on 23 November 1963, (AUDIO: The Light at the End [+]Loading...["The Light at the End (audio story)"]) and defeated the Android maker of Calderon IV. (PROSE: The Android Maker of Calderon IV [+]Loading...["The Android Maker of Calderon IV (short story)"])

The Doctor and Sarah were called back to Earth by Liz, who herself had been summoned back to UNIT due to the Brigadier acting strangely. The Doctor discovered that the Brigadier had been possessed by a Remoraxian, a species that wanted to flood the world to allow them to colonise, and built a de-remorator to remove the Remoraxian from the Brigadier. The Doctor, Sarah, Liz and the Brigadier went to the nearby UNIT seabase, along with Agent Paul of the CIA, where the Remoraxian Prime was orchestrating its plot to flood the world. Discovering that the American government had authorised the nuclear bombing of Great Britain to stop the threat, the Brigadier persuaded the Remoraxian Prime that the Americans would follow through with the attack, and the Remoraxians left Earth, ending the threat of the bombs. As the Doctor summarised the situation, Liz, Sarah and the Brigadier were abducted by Adam Mitchell. (COMIC: In With the Tide [+]Loading...["In With the Tide (comic story)"]) The Doctor quickly ran off to rescue them. (COMIC: The Choice [+]Loading...["The Choice (comic story)"])

Following a chronal trail left his the Eleventh Doctor as the Tenth Doctor merged their TARDISes together, the Third Doctor joined his other incarnations as they stormed Adam's fortress in Limbo to save their friends from Adam and the Tremas 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 [+]Loading...["Endgame (POT comic story)"])

The Doctor and Sarah thwarted an invasion of Dahensa in London by setting up a sonic manifold feedback loop over the city from the Post Office Tower. (COMIC: Invasion of the Scorpion Men [+]Loading...["Invasion of the Scorpion Men (comic story)"])

The Doctor and Sarah then travelled to the planet Hezrah, where the people worshipped the Eternal Machine, which would send chosen citizens to the stars. The Doctor revealed that the machine was actually an alien that would slowly touch and kill the citizens, in order to gain power. The creature's followers grew angry at the creature and set it ablaze, killing it. (PROSE: The Discourse of Flies [+]Loading...["The Discourse of Flies (short story)"])

The Game of Rassilon[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Doctor and an older Sarah. (TV: The Five Doctors [+]Loading...["The Five Doctors (TV story)"])

While taking a ride in the country in Bessie, the Doctor was saved from the Great Intelligence by Clara Oswald, (TV: The Name of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Name of the Doctor (TV story)"]) and was then captured by a Time Scoop and taken to the Death Zone on Gallifrey. There, he encountered an older Sarah Jane Smith, who at first was confused by the sight of him as she had witnessed his regeneration and had already parted company with his next incarnation. They travelled to the Tomb of Rassilon, where the winner of the Game of Rassilon would be given immortality. On the way, the Doctor met a future rendition of the Master, who claimed to have been sent by the Time Lords to help him, a claim the Doctor did not believe, confiscating the Seal of the High Council from him, under the assumption that it was stolen, and believing instead that the Master was behind everything, a claim he felt was confirmed when thunderbolts suddenly rained down on them, one of them hitting Bessie and forcing he and Sarah to walk. The Doctor and Sarah also encountered a group of Cybermen and a Raston Warrior Robot; fortunately, the two of them were able to sneak past while they did battle, the Cybermen quickly getting slaughtered.

Using stolen climbing utensils from the Raston Warrior Robot, the Doctor and Sarah climbed to the top entrance to the tower. Inside the tower, the Doctor encountered illusions of Liz Shaw and Mike Yates, and eventually reached the tomb, where the Doctor joined with his first and second incarnations to study the writing by Rassilon's tomb, and open the teleportation systems. The Fifth Doctor arrived, under the control of Lord Borusa, who had brought the Doctors there to help him retrieve immortality from Rassilon. The combined concentration of the three Doctors, however, was enough to break Borusa's control over their future incarnation. When Borusa spoke to Rassilon and took his offer of immortality, he was turned to stone and became trapped within a sarcophagus. The Doctor was soon after returned to his time zone with Sarah Jane by Rassilon. (TV: The Five Doctors [+]Loading...["The Five Doctors (TV story)"])

The Doctor helped many colonisers in the far future find a new planet, (COMIC: The Wanderers [+]Loading...["The Wanderers (comic story)"]) and then attended the funeral of Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart with his other incarnations, (PROSE: The Gift [+]Loading...["The Gift (ST short story)"]) where he comforted Liz Shaw during the burial.

The Third Doctor was summoned by his first incarnation, who required the aid of one of his future incarnations to escape a castle in medieval England, where he had been entrapped by knights thinking he was holding Lady Mary hostage in his TARDIS. After the Fifth Doctor lost the game that chose who would face the knights, he explained the situation to them and the Doctors were permitted to leave.

Final exploits[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Doctor surmises Azaxyr will spare him until the Ice Warriors no longer require his services. (TV: The Monster of Peladon [+]Loading...["The Monster of Peladon (TV story)"])

The Doctor returned to Peladon with the intent of reuniting with King Peladon, but accidentally jumped fifty years ahead of his last visit. By then, Peladon had died, with his daughter, Queen Thalira, ruling under a period of dissent, and an ongoing labour dispute between Pel nobility and the Pel miners worsened when apparitions of Aggedor attacked and killed several miners. Following an uprising by the oppressed miners, and distrust from the queen's chancellor, Ortron, regarding who the Doctor and Sarah had sided with, the two were sent to face the judgement of the Aggedor, whom the Doctor calmed with a Venusian lullaby. By Peladonian law, he and his companion were exonerated of any charges placed against them. With the situation worsening, Alpha Centauri summoned for assistance from the Federation, and they sent in Ice Warriors to ensure production. The Ice Warriors' commander, Azaxyr, threatened to kill hostages if the miners refused to work, and the Doctor brought the miners and ruling class together to fight the Ice Warriors.

Following a long series of disputes, the Doctor, Sarah and the Peladonians learned the planet was under siege by Eckersley, a Federation defector seeking to manipulate the people into giving up their world's stores of trisilicate for his own gain. One of the miners, Ettis, attempted to wipe out the whole of them by firing a sonic lance on the Peladonian citadel, duelling the Doctor and subduing him long enough to use the device. Having planned against this, Azaxyr had placed a self-destruct mechanism on the lance, which killed Ettis when he activated it. After recovering from his duel, the Doctor found the apparitions of Aggedor were being created by a machine in the mine that Eckersley had protected with a security system, assaulting the Doctor's senses when he turned it on. When Eckersley cranked up its effects high enough to kill him, the Doctor used sensory withdrawal to block out the attack and feign death until Sarah could rescue him. With the cooperation of Gebek, leader of the miners, and Thalira's forces, Eckersley and the Ice Warriors were wiped out. Sadly, the Aggedor was a victim of the battle between the groups when he and Eckersley killed each other, upsetting the Doctor.

In the aftermath of the uprisings, the Doctor helped bring about a new era of peace to Peladonian society and Sarah, seeing how Thalira was treated due to her gender, ensured that the laws of Peladon would view the queen as a true ruler. (TV: The Monster of Peladon [+]Loading...["The Monster of Peladon (TV story)"])

Planning to return back to UNIT HQ, the Doctor and Sarah landed on an ocean planet on an old rig. They met an artist commune including Marta Malvani who he admired. He was worried about the commune being isolated from the universe. He thought that there was some sabotage on board but discovered that it was an attempt to start the extraction process up again. He learnt that there was an indigenous race on the planet which was in the salt and was mental energy which was created during the initial mining operation. He told Laurel that they were using her. He overloaded the extractors in the mine to explode the base to stop the creatures. (AUDIO: The Gulf [+]Loading...["The Gulf (audio story)"])

On the orders of the Brigadier, the Doctor investigated the Dow Tor Research facility. He became worried after discovering that Chiltern had an alien material in his facility and experimenting on it. Trying to rescue the Brigadier the TARDIS made and emergency landing taking the Doctor and Sarah back to 1855. He asked the local Vicar Monty Woolsgrove for information about the devil's footprints. He decided to go after the Icewalker and found it an ideal place to live. He made his way back to the Brigadier to stop Chilten's plans again.

The Doctor and Sarah then retrieved Sputnik 2 and buried Laika, the first space traveller from Earth, on the distant planet Quiescia. (PROSE: Alien Bodies [+]Loading...["Alien Bodies (novel)"]) After this, Sarah requested that they return to Earth. (PROSE: Interference - Book One [+]Loading...["Interference - Book One (novel)"])

Afterwards, the Doctor and Sarah travelled to London in December 1952, where the Doctor discovered that poisonous smog was killing the citizens. He discovered that it was created by two Xhinns, a humanoid alien race that were usually peaceful, who wanted to cover their tracks. With help of the local gangsters, he was able to create a time bomb, which caused their ship to age greatly and disintegrate. (PROSE: Amorality Tale [+]Loading...["Amorality Tale (novel)"])

At Christmas, the Doctor and Sarah travelled to 1822 New York, where they met Santa Claus. As they talked, they did not realise that they were being watched by Clement C.

Visiting Coal Hill School to drop off flowers for the flower garden, the Doctor told Sarah of the time his first incarnation fought off Space wolves with Shivani Bajwa, but refused to admit to her that the First Doctor had purposely barred fleeing people from entering the school. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Horror of Coal Hill [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Horror of Coal Hill (short story)"])

The Doctor and Sarah then met a man named Isaac, a composer and future companion of the Doctor's. He was stalked by two grey figures, and eventually committed suicide. The Doctor attempted to investigate, but was stopped by the Time Lord messenger, who informed him that he had to wait until he encountered the events himself.

A slow demise[[edit] | [edit source]]

Info from The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Time Traveller needs to be added

The Doctor and his mentor witness Sarah under control by an Eight Legs who covets the Metebelis crystal. (TV: Planet of the Spiders [+]Loading...["Planet of the Spiders (TV story)"])

The Doctor took the Brigadier to see a travelling performance show, where he observed a powerful clairvoyant, Professor Herbert Clegg. He arranged for the professor to meet him in UNIT HQ, where he looked into the source of Clegg's abilities. Before his experiment could begin, he was presented with a package; Jo had sent her Metebelis crystal back to him after a group of Indian porters cited it would bring them bad luck and refused any further association with her and Cliff unless she discarded the crystal. However, Clegg looked into it, causing his psychic abilities to increase and show him a frightful image of extraterrestrial spiders, which gave him a fatal heart attack.

Reunited with Mike Yates, the Doctor and UNIT discovered mysterious goings-on at a meditation retreat run by Tibetan monks were linked to a colony of monstrous spiders on Metebelis III. Here, he ran into his old mentor, K'anpo Rimpoche, who suffered an attack from the spiders and regenerated. The spiders sought the Doctor's crystal and began attacking, possessing, subjugating and killing anyone who stood in the way of them reclaiming the crystal. The Doctor realised that the act of taking it in the first place was a deadly oversight from the beginning, and was told by K'anpo he had no choice but to return the crystal, which would spell his doom.

To save his companions, his teacher, and the whole cosmos from them, the Doctor exposed himself to lethal levels of radiation to destroy the web of the Great One. He allowed the Great One to repossess the crystal, which gave her infinite psychic power, unaware this would be too much for her to bear. The Great One and the Eight Legs linked to her could not handle the limitless power and were destroyed. The Doctor limped to his TARDIS and escaped Metebelis III, horrendously irradiated. (TV: Planet of the Spiders [+]Loading...["Planet of the Spiders (TV story)"])

The Doctor was stuck wandering around the Time Vortex for ten years, the radiation slowly eating away at his body. The effects became so severe that he could not even reach the TARDIS console, and was doomed to simply wait until the TARDIS landed of its own accord. (PROSE: Love and War [+]Loading...["Love and War (novel)"]) During this time, he was taken prisoner by a corrupt being called Tremayne in East Berlin. Even though he was enduring a painful death, the Doctor worked alongside Edward Grainger and stopped Tremayne and the Logos from rewriting the history of the whole cosmos.

Death[[edit] | [edit source]]

Main article: Third Doctor's regeneration
The Doctor regenerates into his fourth incarnation. (TV: Planet of the Spiders [+]Loading...["Planet of the Spiders (TV story)"])

When the TARDIS finally deposited the dying Doctor back on Earth, he promptly collapsed in his UNIT lab next to Sarah Jane and the Brigadier. Looking at Sarah Jane, he tried comforting her, telling her, "While there's life, there's...", but expired before he could finish his dying words.

K'anpo Rimpoche's psychic projection reappeared before Sarah Jane and the Brigadier, and promised the two that the Doctor would be all right, deciding to give the Doctor "a little push" to help his cells begin a regeneration, then vanished and told Sarah Jane and the Brigadier to "look after him". The Doctor then started breathing again and regenerated into his next incarnation. (TV: Planet of the Spiders [+]Loading...["Planet of the Spiders (TV story)"])

Perversion of history[[edit] | [edit source]]

Several regenerations and hundreds of years later, the Doctor's eighth incarnation was imprisoned and brutally tortured in Saudi Arabia while investigating the activities of the Remote. In a delirious state, the Doctor created a time equation with his own blood. Due to the interference of Faction Paradox, this connected the Eighth Doctor to the Third Doctor's TARDIS. (PROSE: Interference - Book One [+]Loading...["Interference - Book One (novel)"])

After the Third Doctor and Sarah buried Laika on Quiescia, (PROSE: Alien Bodies [+]Loading...["Alien Bodies (novel)"]) Sarah requested that they return to Earth. Half an hour into this trip, the Third Doctor discovered a new and mysterious door within the TARDIS, which led to his eighth incarnation's prison cell. The future Doctor tried to warn the Third Doctor about Faction Paradox, realising too late that he wasn't supposed to know of them until his fourth incarnation; he then warned his past self against being diverted from his destination. Shocked by this scene, the Doctor returned to the console room, where Sarah Jane stood, shocked, as she saw the walls begin bleed. As the Eighth Doctor had warned, the TARDIS then landed on the planet Dust during the War in Heaven, on the same day when I.M. Foreman's Travelling Show arrived and the Faction Paradox warships approached the planet. (PROSE: Interference - Book One [+]Loading...["Interference - Book One (novel)"])

The Doctor resolved the Remote invasion, escaping death at the hands of Father Kreiner, and resolved the apparent paradox of Foreman's original encounter with his future selves. However, as he and Sarah prepared to leave in the TARDIS, he decided to visit Foreman's final incarnation and convince it to infuse with Dust's ecosystem and transform the dead world into a lush green one. Satisfied with the outcome of his time on Dust, the Doctor was on his way to rejoin Sarah in the TARDIS when he was confronted by Magdelana Bishop. Convinced that it was the only way to protect her world from future invaders, Magdalena shot him in the chest with a shotgun and left him for dead in the street. As he began to regenerate, Sarah dragged him back to the TARDIS to return to UNIT.

As the Doctor's immune system was compromised by regeneration, the Faction's biodata virus bonded to his biodata. The Doctor still regenerated into his fourth incarnation, and history continued much like it did before the change, but by the end of the Doctor's eighth incarnation the virus would corrupt him into a member of the Faction. (PROSE: Interference - Book Two [+]Loading...["Interference - Book Two (novel)"]) As part of this process, the Eighth Doctor lost his shadow. (PROSE: Unnatural History [+]Loading...["Unnatural History (novel)"])

However, the TARDIS took the infection and fragments of the original timeline into itself, preserving the essence of the Third Doctor who didn't die on Dust. (PROSE: The Ancestor Cell [+]Loading...["The Ancestor Cell (novel)"]) Even after the TARDIS's near-destruction on Avalon (PROSE: The Shadows of Avalon [+]Loading...["The Shadows of Avalon (novel)"]) and subsequent corruption into the Edifice, the dust ghost of this original Third Doctor retained a degree of control over the ship's defences. Over his five millennia in the ship, he trained its spiders to be his scouts and lookouts. Finally, with the Edifice hanging over Gallifrey during the Faction Paradox invasion, the Third Doctor confronted Grandfather Paradox and guided the Eighth Doctor to use the TARDIS's defence systems to destroy Gallifrey and Kasterborous, forcing the universe to choose one of the two timelines.

The Eighth Doctor was uncertain which timeline would become real. However, afterwards, his shadow reappeared, suggesting the biodata virus was no longer a part of his timeline; this led Compassion to speculate, speaking to Fitz Kreiner, that the Doctor's visit to Dust had indeed been unwritten from history. However, she also believed the War in Heaven at large had been averted (PROSE: The Ancestor Cell [+]Loading...["The Ancestor Cell (novel)"]) which proved to be incorrect, as Compassion would later become a major player in the War on other Gallifreys.

Nevertheless, the Eighth Doctor later saw that Gallifrey could one day be restored to the universe.

When under attack by a space amoeba, the Fourth Doctor briefly turned back into his third self. (COMIC: Timeslip [+]Loading...["Timeslip (comic story)"])

In a dream garden occupied by the Doctor's previous incarnations, the Third Doctor made additions to the garden, including trying to add a statue to it, before the notion was rejected. (PROSE: Into the Silent Land [+]Loading...["Into the Silent Land (short story)"])

When trapped in a dimensionally-unstable pocket universe controlled by Iam and the Rani, the Sixth Doctor's morphic print was destabilised, causing him to unwillingly regress back through his previous incarnations as his body sought a stable morphic print. The Doctor was forced to use his morphic instability to mentally regress back to his third persona when he found himself requiring the Third Doctor's skills at hand-to-hand combat to act as a gladiator in this pocket reality, essentially letting the Third Doctor's persona control his body when he was required to fight. (PROSE: State of Change [+]Loading...["State of Change (novel)"])

In a bid to detach the Funhouse from the TARDIS in the time vortex, the Sixth Doctor bound the switch that protected the TARDIS's passengers from the changing time fields outside with a string, allowing him to pull it remotely from the limited protection of the Zero Room. As a result, the Doctor immediately began to regress back through his first five incarnations as he made his way back to the console room where, as the First Doctor, he flipped the switch back, restoring himself while trapping the Funhouse in the vortex. (COMIC: Funhouse [+]Loading...["Funhouse (comic story)"])

On another occasion, the Seventh Doctor used the TARDIS telepathic circuits to bring forth the memory of his third incarnation when he felt that the Third Doctor's technical expertise would be useful to disarm a dangerous bomb. The Doctor described his third persona as vain and suggested he wouldn't have liked being trapped in the seventh incarnation's body. (PROSE: Timewyrm: Genesys [+]Loading...["Timewyrm: Genesys (novel)"]) However, this allowed the Timewyrm to infiltrate the Doctor's mind, and set up Anthony Rupert Hemmings in the portion of the Doctor's subconscious occupied by the Third Doctor's persona. The Doctor offered little resistance, distracted by the discovery that the dictator of the Inferno universe's Great Britain was his direct counterpart. When the Seventh Doctor and Ace entered the Doctor's mind, the Seventh Doctor was able to help the Third Doctor gather the strength needed to expel Hemmings from their mind. No longer a prisoner of his own making, the Third Doctor began to rebuild the Doctor's subconscious mind. (PROSE: Timewyrm: Revelation [+]Loading...["Timewyrm: Revelation (novel)"])

However, when their four successors followed the warning, the Master took direct action in attacking them, until the Sixth Doctor managed to bring them together to formulate a plan. After the Fifth Doctor ensured that the TARDIS would not explode, the Doctors prepared to time ram the Master's TARDIS. However, rather than kill the Master, the First Doctor instead turned off the automatic distress actions, making it so none of the Doctors followed it into the explosion and undoing the events of the day.

In one possible timeline envisioned by the Nexus, the Third Doctor decided to remain on Earth after his exile, settling down an old house with a garden. When the Ice Warriors invaded in 2010, the Doctor surrendered on Earth's behalf, with the Ice Warriors ruling the Earth Empire peacefully, assisting the humans and Silurians in combating the Rutan Hosts and the Daleks, but largely leaving them to their own devices, with Earth eventually becoming a nature reserve that shunned war. The Third Doctor was able to live for a thousand years on Earth without regenerating, though became wheelchair bound, and was aware that he was only a "copy" of the Doctor. (PROSE: So Vile a Sin [+]Loading...["So Vile a Sin (novel)"])

In an alternative timeline where his exile never ended, the Doctor remained in Britain for forty years, forming a working relationship with PM Melanie Bush for over twenty years. However, he eventually betrayed the United Kingdom when it was invaded by the Cybermen in 2010 as he felt that Britain's best efforts against the Cybermen were destined to be useless. The Cybermen partly converted the Doctor and restored his ability to travel in time. (PROSE: The Quantum Archangel [+]Loading...["The Quantum Archangel (novel)"])

Psychological profile[[edit] | [edit source]]

Personality[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Doctor expresses his outrage at orders taking priority over democracy. (TV: The Green Death [+]Loading...["The Green Death (TV story)"])

A champion for peace and justice, (TV: Colony in Space [+]Loading...["Colony in Space (TV story)"]) who "hardly ever" lied, (TV: The Time Warrior [+]Loading...["The Time Warrior (TV story)"]) the Third Doctor valued his freedom, (TV: Frontier in Space [+]Loading...["Frontier in Space (TV story)"]) believing "the collection of the simplest animal lifeforms [to be] a dubious enough pursuit in itself", but that "the collection of civilised [and] intelligent beings [was] a positive crime", (TV: Carnival of Monsters [+]Loading...["Carnival of Monsters (TV story)"]) sympathising with such caged creatures due to his experience as an exile on Earth. (AUDIO: Walls of Confinement [+]Loading...["Walls of Confinement (audio story)"]) He was also more of a show-off than his predecessors, often putting himself at the centre of attention when his plans and contraptions worked accordingly. (TV: Spearhead from Space [+]Loading...["Spearhead from Space (TV story)"]) Liz Shaw believed he only really required an assistant to "pass [him] [his] test tubes and to tell [him] how brilliant [he was]." (TV: Terror of the Autons [+]Loading...["Terror of the Autons (TV story)"])

Having "an air of natural authority", (AUDIO: A True Gentleman [+]Loading...["A True Gentleman (audio story)"]) he was far more assertive than his preceding incarnations, (TV: Spearhead from Space [+]Loading...["Spearhead from Space (TV story)"]) with less patience for protocols such as visitor's passes, (TV: The Ambassadors of Death [+]Loading...["The Ambassadors of Death (TV story)"]) and strove to maintain his independence while working for UNIT, such as by ignoring the Brigadier's summonings. (TV: TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)"]) He also disliked having to answer to the Time Lords, maintaining that he worked only for himself. (TV: Colony in Space [+]Loading...["Colony in Space (TV story)"], Day of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Day of the Daleks (TV story)"]) However, he could be more passive when it came to rescues, not questioning the falsehoods his allies would give when coming to his aid, (TV: The Dæmons [+]Loading...["The Dæmons (TV story)"]) and, while he disliked having to work for them, he would use his association with UNIT as a means of getting his way. (TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)"], The Mind of Evil [+]Loading...["The Mind of Evil (TV story)"], The Green Death [+]Loading...["The Green Death (TV story)"])

Authoritative, yet rebellious, the Third Doctor always favoured peace and diplomacy above violence and aggression, though this led him to clash with stalwart military-minded individuals who chose rules over morality, with figures such as the Brigadier often being a thorn in his side, especially when a particularly aggressive influential had a greater majority of imprudent people on their side. The Doctor held a strong disgust towards these people, who were any combination of stubborn, selfishly goal-driven or close-minded, and would be further outraged if they refused to listen to him, ignored his protests or went to absurd lengths just to dodge the risk of being proven wrong, especially when they acted antagonistic and undiplomatic. (TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)"], Inferno [+]Loading...["Inferno (TV story)"], The Mind of Evil [+]Loading...["The Mind of Evil (TV story)"], The Claws of Axos [+]Loading...["The Claws of Axos (TV story)"], Day of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Day of the Daleks (TV story)"], The Sea Devils [+]Loading...["The Sea Devils (TV story)"], Frontier in Space [+]Loading...["Frontier in Space (TV story)"], The Green Death [+]Loading...["The Green Death (TV story)"]) If unsatisfied with someone's handling of a situation, however, the Doctor would step in forcefully and take charge, (TV: Inferno [+]Loading...["Inferno (TV story)"]) but, if diplomacy outright failed, he reacted in a subdued manner, giving a scathing and virulent dressing down to the foolhardy individuals that destroyed a bid for peace and order. (TV: The Mind of Evil [+]Loading...["The Mind of Evil (TV story)"], The Green Death [+]Loading...["The Green Death (TV story)"])

Feeling akin to "a shipwrecked mariner" while stranded on Earth without a working TARDIS, (TV: Inferno [+]Loading...["Inferno (TV story)"]) the Third Doctor spent a lot of his time trying to escape his exile, either by tricking others into helping him unlock his TARDIS's capabilities, (TV: Spearhead from Space [+]Loading...["Spearhead from Space (TV story)"], The Claws of Axos [+]Loading...["The Claws of Axos (TV story)"]) by trying to repair the circuits himself, (TV: The Ambassadors of Death [+]Loading...["The Ambassadors of Death (TV story)"], Inferno [+]Loading...["Inferno (TV story)"], Colony in Space [+]Loading...["Colony in Space (TV story)"], Day of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Day of the Daleks (TV story)"], The Mutants [+]Loading...["The Mutants (TV story)"]) or by stealing parts from other TARDISes. (TV: Terror of the Autons [+]Loading...["Terror of the Autons (TV story)"]) His desire to escape would cause him to become overconfident at the first sign of liberation, though he was often forced to humble himself once he realised he was still trapped. (TV: Spearhead from Space [+]Loading...["Spearhead from Space (TV story)"], Inferno [+]Loading...["Inferno (TV story)"], Terror of the Autons [+]Loading...["Terror of the Autons (TV story)"], The Claws of Axos [+]Loading...["The Claws of Axos (TV story)"]) After he threatened his eighth incarnation with the Master's TCE for a working TARDIS, the Doctor decided to remain in his exile of his own free will, (PROSE: The Eight Doctors [+]Loading...["The Eight Doctors (novel)"]) eventually coming to see UNIT as a "new-found family", which he continued to visit after his exile was lifted. (PROSE: The Shadows of Avalon [+]Loading...["The Shadows of Avalon (novel)"])

Having a distain for bureaucracy, (TV: The Ambassadors of Death [+]Loading...["The Ambassadors of Death (TV story)"], Colony in Space [+]Loading...["Colony in Space (TV story)"], The Sea Devils [+]Loading...["The Sea Devils (TV story)"]) he was rebellious against authorities that were openly hostile towards him. (TV: Inferno [+]Loading...["Inferno (TV story)"], Invasion of the Dinosaurs [+]Loading...["Invasion of the Dinosaurs (TV story)"])

While he was very hospitable with fellow intellects of his calibre, (TV: Spearhead from Space [+]Loading...["Spearhead from Space (TV story)"], The Green Death [+]Loading...["The Green Death (TV story)"]) the Doctor would get rude and dismissive with those he saw as beneath his intellectual prowess, particularly when they interfered in his work. (TV: Terror of the Autons [+]Loading...["Terror of the Autons (TV story)"], The Curse of Peladon [+]Loading...["The Curse of Peladon (TV story)"], The Sea Devils [+]Loading...["The Sea Devils (TV story)"], The Three Doctors [+]Loading...["The Three Doctors (TV story)"]) However, he could not bring himself to be dismissive of them in the face of their kindness, (TV: Terror of the Autons [+]Loading...["Terror of the Autons (TV story)"]) and would not dismiss someone who others looked down upon for their poor intelligence. (TV: Planet of the Spiders [+]Loading...["Planet of the Spiders (TV story)"]) At times, however, the Doctor could become argumentative and needed to be defused in order to establish fluid communication with people. (TV: The Ambassadors of Death [+]Loading...["The Ambassadors of Death (TV story)"], The Dæmons [+]Loading...["The Dæmons (TV story)"])

Never judging by appearance, (TV: Carnival of Monsters [+]Loading...["Carnival of Monsters (TV story)"]) the Doctor would eagerly extend the hand of friendship to any new species he encountered, (TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)"], Colony in Space [+]Loading...["Colony in Space (TV story)"]) attempt to embrace the customs of the cultures he visited, (TV: The Time Warrior [+]Loading...["The Time Warrior (TV story)"]) and would reserve his judgement on people until he had all the facts, (TV: Day of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Day of the Daleks (TV story)"]) though his opinions on species as a whole could be clouded by past experiences with specific members. (TV: The Curse of Peladon [+]Loading...["The Curse of Peladon (TV story)"], Death to the Daleks [+]Loading...["Death to the Daleks (TV story)"])

While he would chide others for having a "childish attitude", (TV: Inferno [+]Loading...["Inferno (TV story)"]) the Doctor himself admitted a liking for "being childish", such as by enjoying the prospect of battling villains, (TV: Terror of the Autons [+]Loading...["Terror of the Autons (TV story)"]) even prolonging a swordfight with the Master out of sheer enjoyment. (TV: The Sea Devils [+]Loading...["The Sea Devils (TV story)"]) He also had no problem interrupting lecturers when he disagreed with what was being said. (TV: The Mind of Evil [+]Loading...["The Mind of Evil (TV story)"]) By his own admittance, it was "impossible" for him to admit when he was wrong. (TV: Carnival of Monsters [+]Loading...["Carnival of Monsters (TV story)"])

The Third Doctor had a passion for science and gadgets that caused him to drown out other people when he was invested in his work. (TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)"], The Time Monster [+]Loading...["The Time Monster (TV story)"], The Green Death [+]Loading...["The Green Death (TV story)"], Invasion of the Dinosaurs [+]Loading...["Invasion of the Dinosaurs (TV story)"], Planet of the Spiders [+]Loading...["Planet of the Spiders (TV story)"]) He also loved his vintage car, Bessie, almost as much as he loved his TARDIS, fixing it up and giving encouraging pats and kisses, (TV: TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)"], The Five Doctors [+]Loading...["The Five Doctors (TV story)"]) and even preventing the Brigadier from shooting when Bessie was in the line of fire. (TV: The Dæmons [+]Loading...["The Dæmons (TV story)"])

In moments of leisure, the Third Doctor could be found tinkering away at his car, (TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)"], The Dæmons [+]Loading...["The Dæmons (TV story)"]) undergoing a scientific experiment, (TV: Terror of the Autons [+]Loading...["Terror of the Autons (TV story)"]) visiting events to indulge his "scientific curiosity", (TV: The Mind of Evil [+]Loading...["The Mind of Evil (TV story)"], Planet of the Spiders [+]Loading...["Planet of the Spiders (TV story)"]) or building a new gadgetry contraption. (TV: The Green Death [+]Loading...["The Green Death (TV story)"])

Though he desired a "quiet life", (TV: The Monster of Peladon [+]Loading...["The Monster of Peladon (TV story)"]) the Doctor craved in seeing the wonders of the universe, (TV: Colony in Space [+]Loading...["Colony in Space (TV story)"]) with his favourite planets being Metebelis III, (TV: Carnival of Monsters [+]Loading...["Carnival of Monsters (TV story)"]) and Florana. (TV: Invasion of the Dinosaurs [+]Loading...["Invasion of the Dinosaurs (TV story)"])

He enjoyed gorgonzola cheese, wine, (TV: Day of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Day of the Daleks (TV story)"]) and ice cream. (PROSE: Dr. Third [+]Loading...["Dr. Third (novel)"]) His liking of tea was so great that he allowed the UNIT tea lady unrestricted access to his private laboratory, (TV: Terror of the Autons [+]Loading...["Terror of the Autons (TV story)"]) while also preferring lime to lemon in his drinks. (PROSE: Verdigris [+]Loading...["Verdigris (novel)"])

Always trying to find the "good in everyone", the Third Doctor was an eternal optimist with a belief that life would always continue in some form, (TV: The Dæmons [+]Loading...["The Dæmons (TV story)"], The Mutants [+]Loading...["The Mutants (TV story)"], Frontier in Space [+]Loading...["Frontier in Space (TV story)"]) often comforting people when all hope seemed lost to them, (TV: The Time Monster [+]Loading...["The Time Monster (TV story)"], Frontier in Space [+]Loading...["Frontier in Space (TV story)"], Planet of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Planet of the Daleks (TV story)"], Planet of the Spiders [+]Loading...["Planet of the Spiders (TV story)"]) believing that "nothing [was] impossible" as long as there was an answer to find. (TV: Carnival of Monsters [+]Loading...["Carnival of Monsters (TV story)"]) He considered the greatest virtues in humanity as being "kindness, compassion, humour, friendship, [and] generosity". (WC: U.N.I.T. On Call [+]Loading...["U.N.I.T. On Call (webcast)"])

Despite his victory, the Doctor voices his pity for Omega. (TV: The Three Doctors [+]Loading...["The Three Doctors (TV story)"])

A strong believer in fairness, the Doctor was reluctant to release the Master back into the cosmos, (TV: The Mind of Evil [+]Loading...["The Mind of Evil (TV story)"]) but argued against executing him at his trial due to his the belief that the Master was capable of redemption, (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Sea-Devils [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Sea-Devils (novelisation)"]) and also bargained for him to be spared "an eternity of torment" from Kronos. (TV: The Time Monster [+]Loading...["The Time Monster (TV story)"]) He was also saddened by the fate of Omega. (TV: The Three Doctors [+]Loading...["The Three Doctors (TV story)"]) He strove to find a peaceful alternative to the more violent methods that others' held in resolving a crisis. (TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)"], The Sea Devils [+]Loading...["The Sea Devils (TV story)"])

Not believing in the supernatural, the Doctor put his faith in science, believing that a scientific explanation could be found to anything unexplainable. (TV: The Dæmons [+]Loading...["The Dæmons (TV story)"]) He saw "absolute power" as "evil", (TV: Colony in Space [+]Loading...["Colony in Space (TV story)"]) and would turn away supreme powers when they were offered to him, (TV: The Dæmons [+]Loading...["The Dæmons (TV story)"], The Five Doctors [+]Loading...["The Five Doctors (TV story)"]) instead focusing on obtaining the "power of friendship", which he considered to be "real power". (COMIC: The Kingdom Builders [+]Loading...["The Kingdom Builders (comic story)"]) He thought that "superior intelligence and senseless cruelty just [did] not go together", (TV: The Three Doctors [+]Loading...["The Three Doctors (TV story)"]) and once voiced the belief that "rules were made for breaking". (COMIC: The Forgotten [+]Loading...["The Forgotten (comic story)"])

While the place where he felt "most at home in the whole universe" was in his TARDIS, (AUDIO: Terror of the Master [+]Loading...["Terror of the Master (audio story)"]) the Doctor also saw "time and space" as being his "home", (TV: The Shrink [+]Loading...["The Shrink (TV story)"]) but also held a similar sentiment for his UNIT laboratory. (TV: Planet of the Spiders [+]Loading...["Planet of the Spiders (TV story)"])

While very little managed to scare him, (TV: Planet of the Spiders [+]Loading...["Planet of the Spiders (TV story)"]) the Doctor had a fear of seeing a planet being overwhelmed by fire and destruction (TV: The Mind of Evil [+]Loading...["The Mind of Evil (TV story)"]) after seeing the Inferno Earth being destroyed in volcanic ash. (TV: Inferno [+]Loading...["Inferno (TV story)"])

While he was unafraid to use deadly force if it was "the only way" to end a fight, (COMIC: The Labyrinth [+]Loading...["The Labyrinth (comic story)"]) the Doctor was reluctant to destroy something if it had a trace of intelligence, likening it to murder, (TV: Terror of the Autons [+]Loading...["Terror of the Autons (TV story)"]) though he would end a life if it "had to be done". (COMIC: The Hungry Planet [+]Loading...["The Hungry Planet (comic story)"]) He felt nervous about his capabilities with a gun, (TV: The Mind of Evil [+]Loading...["The Mind of Evil (TV story)"]) even when he proved effective with one. (TV: Day of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Day of the Daleks (TV story)"])

While he had a dislike for machines, (TV: The Green Death [+]Loading...["The Green Death (TV story)"]) he held a particular distain for computers, (TV: The Ambassadors of Death [+]Loading...["The Ambassadors of Death (TV story)"]) believing them to be "stupid", (TV: Frontier in Space [+]Loading...["Frontier in Space (TV story)"]) but noted that they could be useful tools. (TV: Inferno [+]Loading...["Inferno (TV story)"])

The Third Doctor owned a country house thirty miles from Thisis, that he had bought with his UNIT wages. He decorated the dining room with French windows, robin's egg blue décor, a red wood dining table, and portraits of his past incarnations. There was also a room decorated in deep underwater blue, with a collection of blue Chinese ginger jars containing holograms of planets and creatures, including a Stranovitican. He had a laboratory in the house, which, though messier, was better equipped than the UNIT lab. He had the drive lined with marble statues of various mythical beasts, including a faun and a Minotaur. He also kept a pet ginger cat in the house, and had a huge yellow teapot in the kitchen. (PROSE: Verdigris [+]Loading...["Verdigris (novel)"])

The Third Doctor had a noticeably antagonistic relationship with the Second Doctor, their personalities so different that they seemed incapable of working together amicably without the authoritative presence of their first incarnation. (TV: The Three Doctors [+]Loading...["The Three Doctors (TV story)"], The Five Doctors [+]Loading...["The Five Doctors (TV story)"]) He also disliked the Eighth Doctor, as he blamed him for the advice he gave the Second Doctor that resulted in his forced regeneration and exile. (PROSE: The Eight Doctors [+]Loading...["The Eight Doctors (novel)"])

The Fourth Doctor considered his immediate predecessor to be "an incorrigible show-off", (PROSE: Categorical Imperative [+]Loading...["Categorical Imperative (short story)"]) while the Fifth Doctor described the Third Doctor's behaviour as "arrogant" and "overbearing", although he admitted that he matured over time. (PROSE: Deep Blue [+]Loading...["Deep Blue (novel)"])

While the Sixth Doctor told Peri Brown that his third incarnation was "more interested in axle grease and looking in the mirror" than in reading great literature, (AUDIO: Year of the Pig [+]Loading...["Year of the Pig (audio story)"]) he was willing to acknowledge the Third Doctor's superior skill with a sword, even if he dismissed him as having an "unusual dress sense". (PROSE: State of Change [+]Loading...["State of Change (novel)"]) The Seventh Doctor also acknowledged that the Third Doctor's technical skill outstripped his other incarnations, (PROSE: Timewyrm: Genesys [+]Loading...["Timewyrm: Genesys (novel)"]) and considered his third incarnation to be a "real dandy of a fellow". (COMIC: Under Pressure [+]Loading...["Under Pressure (comic story)"])

While the Eighth Doctor looking down at his third incarnation, (COMIC: The Pictures of Josephine Day [+]Loading...["The Pictures of Josephine Day (comic story)"]) he still acknowledged him as an "elegant dandy struggling bitterly against the chains of his exile but unable to resist defending the planet that had become his prison". (PROSE: The Eight Doctors [+]Loading...["The Eight Doctors (novel)"])

During to his exile on Earth, the Third Doctor was often frustrated about his mistreatment and became disrespectful from time-to-time, often bickering with Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart due to not agreeing with his military methods. (TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)"], Inferno [+]Loading...["Inferno (TV story)"], Terror of the Autons [+]Loading...["Terror of the Autons (TV story)"], The Claws of Axos [+]Loading...["The Claws of Axos (TV story)"]) However, the Doctor also held a great respect for the Brigadier, despite his "military mind", (TV: Frontier in Space [+]Loading...["Frontier in Space (TV story)"]) and often found himself telling his assistants to show him due respect. (TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)"], The Dæmons [+]Loading...["The Dæmons (TV story)"])

Despite his occasional rudeness, the Doctor grew very fond of his friends, often taking on the role of a teacher turning them into young scientists, (TV: The Dæmons [+]Loading...["The Dæmons (TV story)"]) though he also enjoyed a professional relationship with his scientific equal, Liz Shaw. (TV: Spearhead from Space [+]Loading...["Spearhead from Space (TV story)"], Doctor Who and the Silurians [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)"]) At first, he was fearful of Jo Grant due to her bumbling nature, (TV: Terror of the Autons [+]Loading...["Terror of the Autons (TV story)"]) but soon became fond enough of her to feel that meeting her made his exile worthwhile, (TV: Frontier in Space [+]Loading...["Frontier in Space (TV story)"]) becoming upset when she decided to leave his company in pursuit of marrying Professor Clifford Jones. (TV: The Green Death [+]Loading...["The Green Death (TV story)"])

The Doctor has the audacity to eat the Master's lunch while holding him at sword point. (TV: The Sea Devils [+]Loading...["The Sea Devils (TV story)"])

While the Third Doctor initially only saw the "UNIT era" Master as an "unimaginative plodder" that only caused trouble, (TV: Terror of the Autons [+]Loading...["Terror of the Autons (TV story)"]) he eventually came to see him as the "personification of evil." However, he still visited him in prison due to their old friendship. When he and the Master broke out into a sword fight, the Doctor duelled him light-heartedly, being courteous to let the Master retrieve his weapon, and throw banter with him. He even stole a sandwich from a platter in the Master's cell and began eating it while he had his sword pinned on the Master's neck, for no reason other than a playful show of spite. (TV: The Sea Devils [+]Loading...["The Sea Devils (TV story)"]) However, the Doctor distrusted him greatly, such as when he met the Tremas Master in the Death Zone, and, despite him carrying the Seal of the High Council as proof, the Doctor refused to believe the Master had been sent to aid him, instead assuming him to be behind the predicament and having stolen his credentials, and held no qualms about leaving him stranded in an attack. (TV: The Five Doctors [+]Loading...["The Five Doctors (TV story)"])

Resentful at them for exiling him, the Doctor thought the Time Lords to be a "mean, despicable, [and] underhanded lot" (TV: Spearhead from Space [+]Loading...["Spearhead from Space (TV story)"]) who "delighted in deviousness". (TV: The Five Doctors [+]Loading...["The Five Doctors (TV story)"])

He was afraid of the Daleks, (TV: The Mind of Evil [+]Loading...["The Mind of Evil (TV story)"]) viewing them as "the most evil [and] ruthless life form[s] in the cosmos", (TV: Day of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Day of the Daleks (TV story)"]) and took "great satisfaction" in destroying them. (TV: Planet of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Planet of the Daleks (TV story)"]) Because they were inherently violent and lacked the intelligence to reason with properly, the Doctor did not show restraint against Ogrons, immediately resorting to fatal action if they were given orders to kill. (TV: Day of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Day of the Daleks (TV story)"], Frontier in Space [+]Loading...["Frontier in Space (TV story)"])

Sarah Jane Smith once described the Third Doctor as being like a "favourite teacher". (PROSE: Still Need a Title! [+]Loading...["Still Need a Title! (short story)"])

Charles Lawrence called the Third Doctor "insolent, [and] impertinent", and criticised him for "showing no respect for [his] authority", (TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)"]) while King Dalios recognised him as a philosopher. (TV: The Time Monster [+]Loading...["The Time Monster (TV story)"]) Florrie Cooper considered the Third Doctor to be "a proper toff".

While the "UNIT era" Master described the Third Doctor as a "bouffanted buffoon", (COMIC: Doorway to Hell [+]Loading...["Doorway to Hell (comic story)"]) the Tremas Master remembered him as a "worthy foe" with "such cunning [and] such ingenuity" that was "all wasted through [his] stubborn streak of goodness". (GAME: Destiny of the Doctors [+]Loading...["Destiny of the Doctors (video game)"])

The Doctor dies, with Sarah and the Brigadier by his side. (TV: Planet of the Spiders [+]Loading...["Planet of the Spiders (TV story)"])

After confronting the Great One on Metebelis III to redeem himself for causing her incursion on Earth after stealing a Metebelis crystal, the Doctor returned to his UNIT lab on Earth, claiming to Sarah Jane that "the TARDIS [had] brought [him] home". Telling a saddened Sarah that facing his fears was more important than "just going on living", he wiped away her tears and tried to comfort her as he succumbed to the radiation poisoning of the crystal. (TV: Planet of the Spiders [+]Loading...["Planet of the Spiders (TV story)"])

Main attires[[edit] | [edit source]]

Following his regeneration, the Doctor kept wearing a TARDIS homing watch on his left wrist and a flat metal chain bracelet on his right. After he stole clothes from Ashbridge Cottage Hospital, his outfit consisted of a white frilled shirt, a navy blue velvet suit, black trousers with suspenders, black dress shoes, a black cravat and Dr. Beavis' black Inverness cape with red innings and his black fedora hat. (TV: Spearhead from Space [+]Loading...["Spearhead from Space (TV story)"]) The Doctor had chosen these clothes to help him cultivate his chosen persona, but he eventually decided that the Fedora hat had been a mistake. (PROSE: Prisoners of the Sun [+]Loading...["Prisoners of the Sun (short story)"]) He returned them after being recruited by UNIT, since one of his requests for his employment was identical clothing to call his own. (TV: Spearhead from Space [+]Loading...["Spearhead from Space (TV story)"]) His choice of clothes would change with a variety of colours and designs that were kept in a wardrobe by the TARDIS control console. (TV: Planet of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Planet of the Daleks (TV story)"])

The Third Doctor wore a variety of smoking jackets and blazers, with colours and designs coming in navy blue with a rolled collar, (TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)"]) maroon with a rolled collar, (TV: Terror of the Autons [+]Loading...["Terror of the Autons (TV story)"]) rust orange with a notched collar, (TV: The Curse of Peladon [+]Loading...["The Curse of Peladon (TV story)"]) olive green with a notched collar, (TV: Carnival of Monsters [+]Loading...["Carnival of Monsters (TV story)"]) plum purple with a notched collar, (TV: Planet of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Planet of the Daleks (TV story)"]) petrol blue with scarlet piping on the notched lapel, (TV: The Green Death [+]Loading...["The Green Death (TV story)"]) aquamarine with a notched collar, (TV: Invasion of the Dinosaurs [+]Loading...["Invasion of the Dinosaurs (TV story)"]) emerald green with a notched collar, (TV: The Monster of Peladon [+]Loading...["The Monster of Peladon (TV story)"]) grey with a notched collar, (TV: Planet of the Spiders [+]Loading...["Planet of the Spiders (TV story)"]) and deep red with a rolled collar.

(TV: The Five Doctors [+]Loading...["The Five Doctors (TV story)"])

On his collars, he wore a black cravat, (TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)"]) a midnight blue cravat, (TV: The Ambassadors of Death [+]Loading...["The Ambassadors of Death (TV story)"]) a white jabot, (TV: Terror of the Autons [+]Loading...["Terror of the Autons (TV story)"]) a patterned jabot, (TV: The Dæmons [+]Loading...["The Dæmons (TV story)"]) a vermillion cravat, (TV: The Mutants [+]Loading...["The Mutants (TV story)"]) a black bow tie, (TV: The Three Doctors [+]Loading...["The Three Doctors (TV story)"]) a bottle green bow tie, (TV: Planet of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Planet of the Daleks (TV story)"]) a wine red bow tie, (TV: The Green Death [+]Loading...["The Green Death (TV story)"]) a cyan bow tie, (TV: The Time Warrior [+]Loading...["The Time Warrior (TV story)"]) an ivory bow tie (COMIC: The Lost Dimension [+]Loading...["The Lost Dimension (comic story)"]) or he would go with an unbuttoned collar instead.

(TV: The Green Death [+]Loading...["The Green Death (TV story)"]) He also sometimes wore riding gloves while driving Bessie (TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)"]) or outdoors in general. (TV: The Claws of Axos [+]Loading...["The Claws of Axos (TV story)"])

Because of his more frilled and flamboyant fashion, his first incarnation sneeringly called him a "dandy," (TV: The Three Doctors [+]Loading...["The Three Doctors (TV story)"]) while his second incarnation labelled him "fancy pants". (TV: The Five Doctors [+]Loading...["The Five Doctors (TV story)"]) Upon first seeing him, Morgan thought that the Doctor was wearing "fancy dress".

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

Information from invalid sources[[edit] | [edit source]]

Pertwee in the Devious regeneration scene

In 1995, Pertwee reprised his role as the Doctor for the fan film Devious, filming a regeneration scene to transition between the film's "Second-and-a-Doctor" and the Third Doctor. Audio from Pertwee's scene was later used for Zagreus, and parts of the film (including the regeneration scene) were included in the form of a trailer of sorts on the DVD release of The War Games. However, this wiki deems Devious to be invalid, partially under the factor of it being fan-made, and additionally for being unreleased in full.

Casting[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • Ron Moody was approached by the producers after his success in Oliver Twist, but he turned down the role. He stated in interviews that turning down the role of the Third Doctor was the worst thing he ever did professionally.[source needed]

Costume influences[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • The Third Doctor's wardrobe was more colourful and ornate than any of those of his previous incarnations partially because, in real life, the BBC was experimenting with various combinations of colours during Jon Pertwee's tenure in the role to determine which ones would photograph best.[source needed]
  • The Third Doctor's increasingly-bouffant hairstyle originated from Katy Manning teasing Pertwee about a tiny bald spot on the back of his head, and then recommending he make his hair "bigger" to cover the bald spot when he became self-conscious about it. (DCOM: Planet of the Daleks)

Reprising the role[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • In early 1996, Pertwee reprised the role again for a Vodafone advertisement, in which an unnamed government agent (played by Kyle MacLachlan) travels to Liverpool to prevent the construction of a dangerous time machine. When this device turns out to be an elaborate karaoke machine, the agent leaves – not realising that an actual alien time traveller, the Doctor, is coincidentally working in a garage two doors down. Pertwee died the following May.

Illustration of the Third Doctor in Doctor Who Magazine 122, by Philip Cottrell.
  • The Third Doctor is unique in having first appeared in the title sequence before appearing in any actual scenes on the show.
  • The tattoo visible on the Doctor's arm during Spearhead from Space was Pertwee's own, left over from his days in the navy. It can be seen more clearly in the 1955 film, A Yank in Ermine, and its promotional images.[1]

A green and scarlet cobra was squirming itself into a question mark on my forearm. In the middle was a small letter C, which I could only assume stood for Carlotta. On the other hand perhaps the choice of subject had been taken from a child's spelling book and the C stood for cobra.Moon Boots and Dinner Suits, by Jon Pertwee
