The TARDIS' steering went out, causing the ship to go back in time forty-five-hundred-million years. The Doctor and Sarah observed Earth, at the time a mass of molten rock, develop into a world with an atmosphere and life. They also encountered [[Megron]], a Lord of Chaos claiming to be ruler of Earth until the Doctor banished him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Exploration Earth (audio story)|Exploration Earth: The Time Machine]]'')

The Doctor received a summons from the Brigadier to investigate a strange object in [[Scotland]], which he traced to one of the islands in [[Shetland]]. While the TARDIS' file on the island identified it as being uninhabited, the Doctor was attacked by [[Davy McTavit]] and [[Murdo Jamieson]] for being an "offlander", until [[Joanna Renwick]] stopped them. Learning that Leela had experienced something whilst rowing, the Doctor theorised that the lights in the sky were not a natural phenomenon, just as Viking artefacts started to attack Joanna. After falling down a hole while trying to find [[Angus Renwick]], the Doctor was attacked by something in Viking armour, but he found his way onto [[Nardos]]' ship. After helping Leela to escape the flames, he and Leela travelled back in time accidentally and saw Angus' father during his mission in the Second World War. The Doctor worked out that the ship's defences were causing time to fracture. He was given the "wolf's eye" from a young Angus and used it to go back to the future, and tried to convince Nardos to stop his plans as it would destroy humanity.

The Doctor began to investigate a string of murders that were caused by [[stuffed animal]]s. The animals came from a taxidermy factory, run by a passionate taxidermist called [[Percy Noggins]]. Upon meeting the Doctor, Percy sent a small army of stuffed animals to kill him, since he had deemed him a threat. The Doctor discovered the stuffed animals and Percy were being controlled by the [[Hornet]]s, an alien race that wanted to take control of the Doctor's mind. The Doctor lured all the Hornets towards Nest Cottage, where the TARDIS' [[dimensional stabiliser]]s put up a force shield to prevent them getting out and taking over the world. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Stuff of Nightmares (BBC audio story)|The Stuff of Nightmares]]'')

The Doctor wanted to finally defeat the Hornets by neutralising their queen. Therefore, with the help of Mike Yates and Mrs Wibbsey, he used Francesca's ballet shoes and his TARDIS' dimensional stabiliser to shrink themselves, so they were able to enter the hive of the Hornets, which happened to be a stuffed zebra housing the Hornet Queen herself. During the expedition into the hive of the Hornets, Mike had become paranoid and suspicious of Mrs Wibbsey, leading to his handcuffing her and directing her to the centre of the hive, resulting in a confrontation with the Hornet Queen. It was during this confrontation that the Hornet Queen revealed she had taken possession of Mike.

On the run from the Black Guardian, the Doctor sent K9 to pilot the TARDIS to one-thousand planets across time and space to lead the Black Guardian on a wild goose chase. Waiting for the TARDIS' return, the Doctor and Romana took up residency in [[London]] in [[1929]], becoming the Lord and Lady of the Manor. After he finished his machine, the Doctor detected alien activity and took [[Mabel Dobbs]] along with him as Romana wasn't available. He travelled to [[Hampshire]] and found a spaceship in the grounds of a country house, and was attacked after trespassing on the ship. Not knowing that Romana was at the house, he saved her from a Valjax called Lady [[Ligeia Bassett|Florence Bassett]], who wanted to take her body. Florence attacked the Doctor for meddling and planned to kill him. After Florence died, he made his way back to London before Romana knew he was missing.

Tired of the TARDIS' [[chameleon circuit]] being stuck, the Doctor went to [[Logopolis]] to obtain the formula needed to fix it. Arriving, the Doctor found a woman named [[Tegan Jovanka]] had accidentally boarded the TARDIS during a brief trip to Earth, thinking it was a police box. He also reunited with [[Nyssa]], whilst also meeting a being known as [[the Watcher (Logopolis)|the Watcher]]; they had a secret conversation and the Doctor learnt the Watcher was a manifestation of his next incarnation and that he would be regenerating soon. Realising his end was near, the Doctor got the formulas from Logopolis and shrunk the TARDIS by accident due to {{Ainley}}'s interference, but this was corrected. The Doctor then went to the Pharos radio telescope to a broadcast the CVE signal as the Watcher took Adric and Nyssa outside the universe.

In a bid to detach the [[Funhouse]] from [[the TARDIS]] in the [[time vortex]], the Sixth Doctor bound the switch that protected the TARDIS' 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 (comic story)|Funhouse]]'')

When the [[Tenth Doctor]] was confronted by [[Es'Cartrss]] within the TARDIS' Matrix, he summoned the Fourth Doctor, among his other past incarnations, to use their united memories and willpower to take back control of the Matrix. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Forgotten (comic story)|The Forgotten]]'')

In a negated timeline, the Doctor and Leela met the [[Eighth Doctor]]'s companion, [[Charley Pollard]], when she appeared aboard the TARDIS. As he had detected temporal disturbances in the [[Time Vortex]], the Fourth Doctor realised that Charley was one of his companions from the future. He then met the Eighth Doctor himself and they both discovered {{Pratt}} was plotting their undoing by removing their TARDIS from history. After Charley and Leela vanished, the Doctors were caught in the explosion of the [[Fifth Doctor]]'s TARDIS, but were saved by the [[Sixth Doctor]]. Once a plan to stop the Master was conceived, the Fourth Doctor went to keep the Master distracted with the Eighth Doctor, and, once the Fifth Doctor had ensured that the TARDIS would not explode, joined his other seven incarnations in preparing to [[time ram]] [[the Master's TARDIS]]. However, rather than kill the Master, the [[First Doctor]] instead turned off the automatic distress actions, which had brought all of the Doctors to the pocket dimension and triggered the TARDIS' destruction, making it so none of that had happened.
