Emerging from the [[Last Great Time War]] as the apparent sole survivor, the '''Ninth Doctor''' was forever haunted by what he had witnessed in the Time War and the immense guilt he felt over his belief that he had destroyed [[Gallifrey]] and killed all the [[Time Lord]]s and [[Dalek]]s, supressing the memory of [[War Doctor|the man he had been]] in the Time War as he tried to move forward and make amends with his actions in the conflict. While he projected a jovial and friendly demeanour during good moods, the Doctor tended to brood and act rudely as he navigated through the [[Post-Time War universe]].


{{Infobox scholar
As he collected and fixed the flotsam and jetsam of the Time War, the Doctor was content to skulk in the shadows instead of facing his challenges, even denying himself a companion as penance for his wartime crimes. However, as he began to heal from the Time War and embrace his second chance, the Doctor began to make new friends as he opened himself up to finding a potential companion, offering up the TARDIS to the likes of [[Adriana Jarsdel]], [[Nova (Sphere of Freedom)|Nova]] and [[Fred (Planet of the End)|Fred]]. After reunions with [[the Brigadier]] and [[Liv Chenka]] ended with them convincing him to find a new companion, the Doctor found himself being accompanied by [[Callen Lennox]] and his dog, [[Doyle (Red Darkness)|Doyle]], when he had to help them find a new home. After they settled down on [[New Earth]], the Doctor resumed his solitary travels, though now more hopeful.

When he thwarted the [[Nestene Consciousness]]'s [[Operation Mannequin|invasion attempt]] of [[London]] on [[5 March]] [[2005]], the Doctor asked [[Rose Tyler]], a [[shop assistant]] who had assisted him in defeating the Nestene after he had blown up [[Henrik's|her shop]], to join him in the TARDIS, and she accepted when he told her it could [[time travel]]. After taking her to the [[end of the world]] and [[1869]] [[Cardiff]], the Doctor accidently returned Rose to her home at the [[Powell Estate]] a year late, putting in the bad graces of her mother, [[Jackie Tyler|Jackie]], and her ex-boyfriend, [[Mickey Smith]]. However, they were able to put their tension aside to foil the [[Slitheen family]]'s [[London UFO crash|attempt]] to destroy the [[Earth]] for profit.

When a distress signal brought him to [[Henry van Statten]]'s [[The Vault (Dalek)|Vault]] in [[2012]] [[Utah]], the Doctor found [[Metaltron|a Dalek]] had survived the Time War, but it destroyed itself after it absorbed the [[human factor]] from Rose. At Rose's request, the Doctor allowed van Statten's [[researcher]], [[Adam Mitchell]], into the TARDIS, but he was swiftly evicted when he tried to filch information from [[Satellite Five]] for his own benefit and refused to take responsibility for his actions. Rose also faced banishment afterwards when she, in a moment of high emotion, prevented [[Pete Tyler|her father]]'s death in [[1987]], but a [[Reaper]]s allowed them to make amends when her father set history back on track. Adam then returned to exact revenge on the Doctor for booting him from the TARDIS by trying to kill all his other companions, but he redeemed himself by sacrificing his life to defeat the [[Tremas Master]].

After they faced the [[Kotturuh crisis]], the Doctor and Rose were accidentally scammed by the ex-[[Time Agent]] Captain [[Jack Harkness]], who helped them resolve the [[Empty Child plague]] he had unleashed, and welcomed him on board the TARDIS after they rescued him from an exploding [[Chula warship]]. As they helped recover Jack's memories that were wiped by the [[Time Agency]], the trio was joined by [[UNIT]] soldier [[Tara Mishra]].  


==Circumstances==
Eventually, the Doctor, Rose and Jack were drawn back to Satellite Five in [[200,100]], where they learnt that that the [[Dalek Emperor in the Last Great Time War|Dalek Emperor]] had rebuilt the [[Dalek Empire]] by manipulating the [[Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire]] to its advantage. While the Doctor built a [[delta wave generator]] to destroy the Daleks, albeit at the cost of all life on Earth, Jack was killed leading [[Battle of the Game Station|a resistance]] against the Daleks. Despite sending her back to the Powell Estate to ensure her saftery, Rose absorbed the power of the [[Time Vortex]] through the [[heart of the TARDIS]] and became the [[Bad Wolf (entity)|Bad Wolf entity]], allowing her to destroy the Daleks. The Doctor absorbed the energy out of her and into himself to prevent it burning her up, forcing him to [[regenerate]] into a [[Tenth Doctor|new body]] in order to survive.
Avicenna created an extensive corpus of works during what is commonly known as [[Islamic Golden Age|Islam's Golden Age]], in which the translations of Greco-Roman, Persian, and Indian texts were studied extensively. Greco-Roman ([[Middle Platonism|Mid-]] and [[Neoplatonism|Neo-Platonic]], and [[Aristotelianism|Aristotelian]]) texts by the [[Al-Kindi|Kindi]] school were commented, redacted and developed substantially by Islamic intellectuals, who also built upon Persian and [[Indian mathematics|Indian mathematical]] systems, [[Indian astronomy|astronomy]], [[algebra]], [[trigonometry]] and [[Ancient Iranian Medicine|medicine]].<ref>{{cite encyclopedia|last= |first= | authorlink= |title=Major periods of Muslim education and learning |year=2007| encyclopedia=Encyclopædia Britannica Online |accessdate=2007-12-16|location=|publisher=|url=http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-47496/education}}</ref> The [[Samanid dynasty]] in eastern part of [[Persia]], [[Greater Khorasan]] and [[Central Asia]] as well as [[Buyid dynasty]] in the western part of [[Persia]] and [[Iraq]] provided a thriving atmosphere for scholarly and cultural development. Under the Samanids, [[Bukhara]] rivaled [[Baghdad]] as a cultural capital of the Islamic world.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia|last=Afary |first=Janet | authorlink=Janet Afary |title=Iran |year=2007| encyclopedia=Encyclopædia Britannica Online |accessdate=2007-12-16|location=|publisher=|url=http://p2.www.britannica.com/oscar/print?articleId=106324&fullArticle=true&tocId=9106324}}</ref>


The study of [[Quran]] and [[Hadith]] thrived in such a scholarly atmosphere. Philosophy, [[Fiqh]] and theology ([[kalam]]) were further developed, most noticeably by Avicenna and his opponents. [[Al-Razi]] and [[Al-Farabi]] had provided methodology and knowledge in medicine and philosophy. Avicenna had access to the great libraries of [[Balkh]], [[Khwarezm]], [[Gorgan]], [[Ray, Iran|Rey]], [[Isfahan]] and [[Hamadan]]. Various texts (such as the 'Ahd with Bahmanyar) show that he debated philosophical points with the greatest scholars of the time. [[Aruzi Samarqandi]] describes how before Avicenna left Khwarezm he had met [[Abu Rayhan Biruni]] (a famous scientist and astronomer), [[Abu Nasr Mansur|Abu Nasr Iraqi]] (a renowned mathematician), [[Abu Sahl Masihi]] (a respected philosopher) and Abu al-Khayr Khammar (a great physician).

==Biography==
The [[First Doctor]] would occasionally have premonitions of his future incarnations. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Big Hand for the Doctor (short story)|A Big Hand for the Doctor]]'') The First Doctor was told of a time he would become the last of his species, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Falling (audio story)|Falling]]'') 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 Ninth Doctor, as well as his eleven other successors, by the [[Testimony]] when he expressed doubt over the [[Twelfth Doctor]]'s identity. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Twice Upon a Time (TV story)}})
===Early life===
The only source of information for the first part of Avicenna's life is his autobiography, as written down by his student Jūzjānī. In the absence of any other sources it is impossible to be certain how much of the autobiography is accurate. It has been noted that he uses his autobiography to advance his theory of knowledge (that it was possible for an individual to acquire knowledge and understand the Aristotelian philosophical sciences without a teacher), and it has been questioned whether the order of events described was adjusted to fit more closely with the Aristotelian model; in other words, whether Avicenna described himself as studying things in the 'correct' order. However given the absence of any other evidence, Avicenna's account essentially has to be taken at face value.<ref>[[Encyclopaedia Iranica]], [http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/avicenna-ii Avicenna biography]</ref>


Avicenna was born c. 980 near [[Bukhara]] (in present-day [[Uzbekistan]]), the capital of [[Samanids]], a Persian dynasty in [[Central Asia]] and [[Greater Khorasan]]. His mother, named Setareh, was from Bukhara;<ref>''"Avicenna"''[[Encyclopædia Britannica]], Concise Online Version, 2006 ([http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9011433/Avicenna]); D.

His father was at the time of his son's birth the governor in one of the [[Samanid]] Nuh ibn Mansur's estates. He had his son very carefully educated at Bukhara. Ibn Sina's independent thought was served by an extraordinary intelligence and memory, which allowed him to overtake his teachers at the age of fourteen. As he said in his autobiography, there was nothing that he had not learned when he reached eighteen.
When the [[Third Doctor]] met [[Jackie Tyler]] while answering a distress call in [[2006]], he learnt that one of his future incarnations would meet and travel with a girl named [[Rose Tyler]], and would also regenerate whilst in her company. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Christmas Inversion (short story)|The Christmas Inversion]]'')


A number of different theories have been proposed regarding Avicenna's [[madhab]]. Medieval historian Ẓahīr al-dīn al-Bayhaqī (d. 1169) considered Avicenna to be a follower of the [[Brethren of Purity]].<ref name="Janssens91">{{Cite book| publisher = Leuven University Press| isbn = 9789061864769| last = Janssens| first = Jules L.| title = An annotated bibliography on Ibn Sînâ (1970-1989): including Arabic and Persian publications and Turkish and Russian references | year = 1991 | pages=89–90}} excerpt: "<expand> ...

While meeting a [[Tenth Doctor|future incarnation]], the Fourth Doctor considered the implications that this future incarnation represented all the lives he'd live before reaching this point. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Out of Time (audio story)|Out of Time]]'')


According to his autobiography, Avicenna had memorised the entire Qur'an by the age of 10.<ref name=Britannica>{{cite web|url=http://www.britannica.com/eb/topic-92902/The-Canon-of-Medicine|title=The Canon of Medicine (work by Avicenna)|publisher=[[Encyclopædia Britannica]]|year=2008|accessdate=2008-06-11}}</ref> He learned [[Indian mathematics|Indian arithmetic]] from an [[History of India|Indian]] greengrocer, and he began to learn more from a wandering scholar who gained a livelihood by curing the sick and teaching the young. He also studied [[Fiqh]] (Islamic jurisprudence) under the Hanafi scholar Ismail al-Zahid.<ref name=Gracia>Jorge J. E. Gracia and Timothy B. Noone (2003), ''A Companion to Philosophy in the Middle Ages'', p. 196, [[Blackwell Publishing]], ISBN 0631216731.</ref>
[[Mawdryn]] attempted to force the [[Fifth Doctor]] to use up his eight remaining [[regeneration]]s to end his follower's cycle of perpetual rebirth, but this was rendered unnecessary when [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]] made physical contact with his younger self and a discharge of temporal energy was released that allowed Mawdryn and his followers to die. ([[TV]]: ''[[Mawdryn Undead (TV story)|Mawdryn Undead]]'') After losing his [[body]] to the [[Time Lord]]s, {{Ainley}} made a failed attempt to steal a regeneration from the Doctor. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Velvet Dark (short story)|The Velvet Dark]]'') The Fifth Doctor was told by [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]] that he had worked with eight other incarnations of the Doctor by [[1999]], including four of his future incarnations. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The King of Terror (novel)|The King of Terror]]'')


As a teenager, he was greatly troubled by the ''[[Metaphysics (Aristotle)|Metaphysics]]'' of [[Aristotle]], which he could not understand until he read [[al-Farabi]]'s commentary on the work.<ref name="Corbin1993" /> For the next year and a half, he studied [[philosophy]], in which he encountered greater obstacles. In such moments of baffled inquiry, he would leave his books, perform the requisite ablutions ([[wudu]]), then go to the [[mosque]], and continue in prayer ([[salah]]) till light broke on his difficulties. Deep into the night, he would continue his studies, and even in his dreams problems would pursue him and work out their solution. Forty times, it is said, he read through the ''Metaphysics'' of Aristotle, till the words were imprinted on his memory; but their meaning was hopelessly obscure, until one day they found illumination, from the little commentary by [[Farabi]], which he bought at a bookstall for the small sum of three dirhams. So great was his joy at the discovery, made with the help of a work from which he had expected only mystery, that he hastened to return thanks to God, and bestowed alms upon the poor.
After the TARDIS became "stalled in the equivalent of a galactic lay-by", the [[Sixth Doctor]] had a worried thought of [[Peri Brown]] growing old and dying in the TARDIS, while he would "go on regenerating until all [his] lives [were] spent." ([[TV]]: ''[[Vengeance on Varos (TV story)|Vengeance on Varos]]'') When {{Ainley}} exposed [[the Valeyard]]'s alliance with [[High Council]] to the Sixth Doctor at his trial, he revealed that the Valeyard was acting as the prosecutor for the trial in exchange for the Doctor's remaining [[regeneration]]s. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ultimate Foe (TV story)}})


He turned to [[medicine]] at 16, and not only learned medical theory, but also by gratuitous attendance of the sick had, according to his own account, discovered new methods of treatment. The teenager achieved full status as a qualified physician at age 18,<ref name=Britannica/> and found that "Medicine is no hard and thorny science, like [[mathematics]] and [[metaphysics]], so I soon made great progress; I became an excellent doctor and began to treat patients, using approved remedies." The youthful physician's fame spread quickly, and he treated many patients without asking for payment.
During a premature encounter with [[Jack Harkness]], the Sixth Doctor learnt that one of his future incarnations would meet and travel with Jack until abandoning him. Jack described "[his] Doctor" as a "[[fantastic]]" male who was "nothing like" the Sixth Doctor, who offered a pre-emptive apology for his future self's actions before assuring Jack that, since he was about to enter a [[healing coma]], he would proceed to "edit" his [[memory]] of their encounter in his [[sleep]] so as not to interfere with their history.

===Adulthood===
The [[Seventh Doctor]] wondered if any of his successors would have longer legs than him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Fiesta of the Damned (audio story)|Fiesta of the Damned]]'') When [[Ace]] was sent into the Seventh Doctor's mind, she discovered a room with thirteen cubicles, seven of them empty, while the other six contained shadowy white figures, representing the Doctor's future incarnations. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Revelation (novel)|Timewyrm: Revelation]]'') After sealing [[Gallifrey]] away in a [[pocket dimension]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (TV story)}}) the Seventh Doctor was able to recall teaming up with his other twelve incarnations to save Gallifrey.

Ibn Sina's first appointment was that of physician to the [[emir]], who owed him his recovery from a dangerous illness (997). Ibn Sina's chief reward for this service was access to the royal [[library]] of the [[Samanids]], well-known patrons of scholarship and scholars. When the library was destroyed by fire not long after, the enemies of Ibn Sina accused him of burning it, in order for ever to conceal the sources of his knowledge. Meanwhile, he assisted his father in his financial labours, but still found time to write some of his earliest works.
After using a [[Deathworm Morphant]] to possess [[Bruce Gerhardt|a human body]], {{Roberts}} tried to use the [[Eye of Harmony]] to steal the [[Eighth Doctor]]'s remaining regenerations to heal himself, but his plans were foiled when [[Grace Holloway]] sent the TARDIS' into a [[temporal orbit]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Doctor Who (TV story)}}) When the Eighth Doctor looked into the Tomorrow Windows, he had glimpses of various possible futures, including [[The Doctor's ninth incarnation|several possible ninth incarnations]], but one image eventually asserted itself as more solid than the others: the tall, thin man with piercing grey-blue eyes and an prominent nose. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Tomorrow Windows (novel)|The Tomorrow Windows]]'') While working at [[Phaiton]], the Eighth Doctor once pondered on how he'd spend the rest of his lives. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Satanic Mill (audio story)|The Satanic Mill]]'') When talking about the future, the Eighth Doctor noted he would die again, and that one day he would "run out of deaths". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Gift (audio story)|The Gift]]'')


When Ibn Sina was 22 years old, he lost his father. The [[Samanid dynasty]] came to its end in December 1004. Ibn Sina seems to have declined the offers of [[Mahmud of Ghazni]], and proceeded westwards to [[Konye-Urgench|Urgench]] in the modern [[Turkmenistan]], where the [[vizier]], regarded as a friend of scholars, gave him a small monthly stipend. The pay was small, however, so Ibn Sina wandered from place to place through the districts of [[Nishapur]] and [[Merv]] to the borders of [[Greater Khorasan|Khorasan]], seeking an opening for his talents. [[Shams al-Mo'ali Abol-hasan Ghaboos ibn Wushmgir|Qabus]], the generous ruler of [[Dailam]] and central [[Persia]], himself a poet and a scholar, with whom Ibn Sina had expected to find an asylum, was about that date (1012) starved to death by his troops who had revolted. Ibn Sina himself was at this season stricken down by a severe illness. Finally, at [[Gorgan]], near the [[Caspian Sea]], Ibn Sina met with a friend, who bought a dwelling near his own house in which Ibn Sina lectured on [[logic]] and [[astronomy]]. Several of Ibn Sina's treatises were written for this patron; and the commencement of his ''Canon of Medicine'' also dates from his stay in [[Hyrcania]].
During the [[Last Great Time War]], the [[War Doctor]] began [[retro-regeneration|degenerating]] back into his past incarnations after being struck by a degeneration weapon. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Past Lives (audio story)|Past Lives]]'') After an encounter with [[the Master]] on [[Planetoid 50]], he had gained the ability to access future incarnations. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Martian Invasion of Planetoid 50 (audio story)|The Martian Invasion of Planetoid 50]]'') In the form of the Ninth Doctor, he found himself teaming up with the [[Unbound Doctor]], an alternate version of the [[Third Doctor]], along with [[Liv Chenka]] and the Master, now in the form of [[the Lumiat]]. The four of them fulfilled a prophecy involving the [[Time Lord Immemorial]], and prevented the destruction of the [[Multiverse]]. Not long after that, he received a distress call from his granddaughter, [[Susan Foreman]], but as he started heading to the [[Diamond Array]], degeneration kicked in again and he bid farewell to his future face. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Time Lord Immemorial (audio story)|Time Lord Immemorial]]'')


Ibn Sina subsequently settled at [[Ray, Iran|Rai]], in the vicinity of modern [[Tehran]], (present day capital of Iran), the home town of [[Al-Razi|Rhazes]]; where [[Abu Taleb Rostam|Majd Addaula]], a son of the last [[Buwayhid]] emir, was nominal ruler under the regency of his mother ([[Seyyedeh Khatun]]). About thirty of Ibn Sina's shorter works are said to have been composed in [[Ray, Iran|Rai]]. Constant feuds which raged between the regent and her second son, [[Shams al-Daula]], however, compelled the scholar to quit the place. After a brief sojourn at [[Qazvin (city)|Qazvin]] he passed southwards to Hamadãn where  Shams al-Daula, another Buwayhid emir, had established himself. At first, Ibn Sina entered into the service of a high-born lady; but the emir, hearing of his arrival, called him in as medical attendant, and sent him back with presents to his dwelling. Ibn Sina was even raised to the office of vizier. The emir consented that he should be banished from the country. Ibn Sina, however, remained hidden for forty days in a [[shaikh|sheikh]] Ahmed Fadhel's house, until a fresh attack of illness induced the emir to restore him to his post. Even during this perturbed time, Ibn Sina persevered with his studies and teaching. Every evening, extracts from his great works, the ''Canon'' and the ''Sanatio'', were dictated and explained to his pupils. On the death of the emir, Ibn Sina ceased to be vizier and hid himself in the house of an [[apothecary]], where, with intense assiduity, he continued the composition of his works.
=== Post-regeneration ===
{{Main|Eighth Doctor's regeneration}}
According to some accounts, after the [[Eighth Doctor]] fought in the [[Last Great Time War]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Osskah (short story)|Osskah]]'', ''[[Museum Peace (short story)|Museum Peace]]'', [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Forgotten (comic story)|The Forgotten]]'', etc.) he [[Eighth Doctor's regeneration|directly regenerated]] into the Ninth Doctor after he had destroyed [[Gallifrey]] with the Moment. He broke his bones falling back into the TARDIS from the [[eyrie]] on which he had activated [[the Moment]], destroying the [[Time Lord]]s and ending the [[Last Great Time War]]. Once the regeneration died down, the Doctor, his thirst for life renewed despite the horrors he had witnessed, eagerly felt at his new face before exclaiming his first word: "''Blimey!''". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Time War (short story)|Doctor Who and the Time War]]'') The Ninth Doctor, still wearing his [[frock coat|Edwardian outfit]], arrived in [[Totter's Lane]] circa [[2003]], reeling from his regeneration, repeatedly muttering "[[Gallifreyan|they're]] all gone, I'm the [[Last of the Time Lords|only one left]]." He then travelled to [[Oxfam, Sheffield|an Oxfam]] in [[Sheffield]] in [[2004]], where he attempted to exchange his Edwardian outfit for [[jeans]] and [[trainer]]s. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Have You Seen This Man? (short story)|Have You Seen This Man?]]'')


Meanwhile, he had written to Abu Ya'far, the [[prefect]] of the dynamic city of [[Isfahan (city)|Isfahan]], offering his services. The new emir of Hamadan, hearing of this correspondence and discovering where Ibn Sina was hidden, incarcerated him in a fortress. War meanwhile continued between the rulers of Isfahan and Hamadãn; in 1024 the former captured Hamadan and its towns, expelling the Tajik [[mercenary|mercenaries]]. When the storm had passed, Ibn Sina returned with the emir to Hamadan, and carried on his literary labors. Later, however, accompanied by his brother, a favorite pupil, and two slaves, Ibn Sina escaped out of the city in the dress of a [[Sufi]] [[ascetic]]. After a perilous journey, they reached Isfahan, receiving an honorable welcome from the prince.
The Doctor would later recall that that he had destroyed Gallifrey and been responsible for the death of billions of innocent [[Gallifreyan]]s. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}, {{cs|Dalek (TV story)}}){{Main|War Doctor's regeneration}}


===Later life and death===
Most other accounts instead indicated the Ninth Doctor emerged from the regeneration of the [[War Doctor]] rather than directly from the [[Eighth Doctor]]. One account indicated this occurred after the War Doctor had destroyed Gallifrey with the Moment. ([[COMIC]]: {{Cs|Sky Jacks (comic story)|Sky Jacks}})
[[Image:Hamadan1.jpg|thumb|200px|Avicenna's tomb in [[Hamadan]], [[Iran]].]]
[[Image:Avicenna Mausoleum interior.jpg|thumb|200px||The inside view of Avicenna's tomb in Hamadan, Iran.]]
[[File:Canon-Avicenna.jpg|thumb|200px|The first page of a manuscript, authored by Ibn Sina.]]


The remaining ten or twelve years of Ibn Sīnā's life were spent in the service of Abu Ja'far 'Ala Addaula, whom he accompanied as physician and general literary and scientific adviser, even in his numerous campaigns.
But most other accounts would claim that the memories of the destruction of Gallifrey were created after his true memories having been wiped due to the timelines being "out of sync" from the presence of his future selves, thus meaning he did not remember having decided not to press the button on [[the Moment]] and instead saving Gallifrey, and subsequently caused the Doctor to repress all of his memories of the War Doctor, who had broken the [[The Doctor (title)|vow of being the Doctor]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (TV story)}}) The [[Twelfth Doctor]] indicated to [[Bernice Summerfield]] that these accounts were a result of the Doctor rewriting the destruction of Gallifrey by breaking the laws of time. ([[PROSE]]: {{Cs|Big Bang Generation (novel)}}) This assertion was documented in ''[[TARDIS Type 40 Instruction Manual]]'' and ''[[Dalek Combat Training Manual]]''. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|TARDIS Type 40 Instruction Manual (reference book)|chaptnum=V|chaptname=The Desktop Theme|page=91}}, {{cs|Dalek Combat Training Manual (reference book)|chaptnum=XII|chaptname=The Time War}})


During these years he began to study [[literature|literary]] matters and [[philology]], instigated, it is asserted, by criticisms on his style. A severe [[colic]], which seized him on the march of the army against Hamadan, was checked by remedies so violent that Ibn Sina could scarcely stand. On a similar occasion the disease returned; with difficulty he reached Hamadan, where, finding the disease gaining ground, he refused to keep up the regimen imposed, and resigned himself to his fate.
[[File:War Doctor turns into Eccleston.jpg|thumb|left|The Ninth Doctor is born after the Last Great Time War. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (TV story)}})]]
According to these later accounts, after he had joined his other incarnations to put Gallifrey into a pocket universe, the War Doctor returned to his TARDIS and immediately began regenerating. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (TV story)}}) Having been delaying the regeneration for some years, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)}}) to the point that his body was frail and had visibly aged into that of an old man, the Doctor muttered to himself that it only "made sense" that he was now regenerating, as his body had been "wearing a bit thin". He hoped that his ears would be less conspicuous in his next incarnation. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (TV story)}}) The Ninth Doctor smashed every [[mirror]] in the TARDIS, vowing to never look at what face he was wearing, as he thought about how many children he would need to save to make up for the ones he killed by destroying Gallifrey, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)}}) while also vowing to earn back the name of "the Doctor" by making reparations for his wartime actions. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Brief History of Time Lords (novel)|A Brief History of Time Lords]]'')


His friends advised him to slow down and take life moderately. He refused, however, stating that: ''"I prefer a short life with width to a narrow one with length"''{{Citation needed|date=October 2010}}. On his deathbed remorse seized him; he bestowed his goods on the poor, restored unjust gains, freed his slaves, and read through the [[Qur'an]] every three days until his death. He died in June 1037, in his fifty-eighth year, in the month of [[Ramadan]] and was buried in Hamadan, Iran.<ref>{{Cite book|title=The Evolution Of Modern Medicine|first=William|last=Osler|authorlink=William Osler|publisher=[[Kessinger Publishing]]|year=2004|isbn=1419161539|page=72}}</ref>
=== Recovering from the Time War ===
{{section stub|Info from ''[[Human Conflict (audio story)|Human Conflict]]'' needs to be added}}


==Avicennian philosophy==
[[File:Nine Contact Clive.jpg|thumb|The Doctor at the Kennedy Assassination. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}})]]
Ibn Sīnā wrote extensively on [[early Islamic philosophy]], especially the subjects [[logic]], [[ethics]], and [[metaphysics]], including treatises named ''Logic'' and ''Metaphysics''. Most of his works were written in [[Arabic language|Arabic]] - which was the ''de facto'' scientific [[language]] of the time in the Middle East, and some were written in the [[Persian language]]. Of linguistic significance even to this day are a few books that he wrote in nearly pure Persian language (particularly the Danishnamah-yi 'Ala', Philosophy for Ala' ad-Dawla'). Ibn Sīnā's commentaries on Aristotle often corrected the philosopher{{Citation needed|date=May 2011}}, encouraging a lively debate in the spirit of [[ijtihad]].
Filled with regret, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Promise (FCBD comic story)|The Promise]]'') and deciding he "didn't need companions or friends", the Doctor travelled alone after the Time War, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Eyeless (novel)|The Eyeless]]'') wanting to save as many lives as he could to make up for using the Moment to destroy Gallifrey ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)}}) as his "punishment" for surviving the conflict. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Meet the Doctor (DWAN 2006 short story)|Meet the Doctor]]'') He appeared at [[Rio de Janeiro]] before [[2005]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rose (novelisation)|Rose]]'') at [[Dallas]] during [[Assassination of John F. Kennedy|the assassination]] of [[President of the United States|U.S. President]] [[John F. Kennedy]] on [[22 November]] [[1963]], and in [[Indonesia]] on the day of [[Krakatoa]]'s eruption in [[August]] [[1883]] ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}) or [[1880]] or [[1888]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Have You Seen This Man? (short story)|Have You Seen This Man?]]'')


In the [[Islamic Golden Age|medieval Islamic world]], due to Avicenna's successful reconciliation between [[Aristotelianism]] and [[Neoplatonism]] along with [[Kalam]], Avicennism eventually became the leading school of [[Islamic philosophy]] by the 12th century, with Avicenna becoming a central authority on philosophy.<ref>Nahyan A. G. Fancy (2006), p. 80-81, "Pulmonary Transit and Bodily Resurrection: The Interaction of Medicine, Philosophy and Religion in the Works of Ibn al-Nafīs (d. 1288)", ''Electronic Theses and Dissertations'', [[University of Notre Dame]].[http://etd.nd.edu/ETD-db/theses/available/etd-11292006-152615]</ref>
Searching for a place to gather his thoughts on the outcome of the Time War, the Doctor went to [[Galen]]. Teaming up with [[Adriana Jarsdel]] to find out why the people on the planet were made to want to kill, he found that it was being caused by a rift in interstitial space by the Time Lords during the Time War to protect them from the [[Compassionate]]. The Doctor set his sonic screwdriver to explode and was going to sacrifice himself to seal the rift, but Adriana sacrificed herself instead. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Bleeding Heart (audio story)|The Bleeding Heart]]'') The Doctor later made a new [[the Doctor's sonic screwdriver|sonic screwdriver]] to replace his old one, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}) adding an extension feature to the emitter to make it less "grown-up". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (TV story)}})


Avicennism was also influential in [[medieval Europe]], particular his doctrines on the nature of the [[Soul (spirit)|soul]] and his [[existence]]-[[essence]] distinction, along with the debates and censure that they raised in scholastic Europe. This was particularly the case in [[Paris]], where Avicennism was later [[proscribed]] in 1210. Nevertheless, his [[psychology]] and theory of knowledge influenced [[William of Auvergne, Bishop of Paris]] and [[Albertus Magnus]], while his metaphysics had an impact on the thought of [[Thomas Aquinas]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iep.utm.edu/a/avicenna.htm#H5 |title=The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Avicenna/Ibn Sina (CA. 980-1037) |publisher=Iep.utm.edu |date=2006-01-06 |accessdate=2010-01-19}}</ref>
The Doctor rode the TARDIS through a supernova to save a robot clown and spent a week trying to restore its higher brain functions, and then set it loose in the TARDIS corridors. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)}}) He had an encounter with [[River Song]], who learned quickly not to mention the Time War around him. River wiped the Doctor's memory of meeting her with [[mnemosine recall-wipe vapour]] so the timeline would remain intact. ([[GAME]]: ''[[The Eternity Clock (video game)|The Eternity Clock]]'')


===Metaphysical doctrine===
The Doctor followed traces of a Gallifreyan stone to [[1939]] [[London]], where he discovered that [[RATS]] were also after the stone when one of them attacked [[Winston Churchill]]'s secretary, [[Hetty Warner]]. The Doctor was reluctant to take part in events, but when Churchill was captured and refused to surrender, the Doctor had no choice but to intervene, stopping the RATS and saving the Prime Minister. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Oncoming Storm (audio story)|The Oncoming Storm]]'')
Early Islamic philosophy and [[Islamic metaphysics]], imbued as it is with [[Kalam|Islamic theology]], distinguishes more clearly than [[Aristotelianism]] the difference between [[essence]] and [[existence]]. Whereas existence is the domain of the contingent and the accidental, essence endures within a being beyond the accidental. The philosophy of Ibn Sīnā, particularly that part relating to [[metaphysics]], owes much to [[al-Farabi]]. The search for a definitive Islamic philosophy separate from [[Occasionalism]] can be seen in what is left of his work.


Following al-Farabi's lead, Avicenna initiated a full-fledged inquiry into the question of [[being]], in which he distinguished between essence (''Mahiat'') and existence (''Wujud''). He argued that the fact of existence can not be inferred from or accounted for by the essence of existing things, and that form and matter by themselves cannot interact and originate the movement of the universe or the progressive actualization of existing things. Existence must, therefore, be due to an [[Causality|agent-cause]] that necessitates, imparts, gives, or adds existence to an essence. To do so, the cause must be an existing thing and coexist with its effect.<ref name="Islam in Britannica">{{cite encyclopedia|last= |first= | authorlink= |title=Islam |year=2007| encyclopedia=Encyclopædia Britannica Online |accessdate=2007-11-27|location=|publisher=|url=http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-69190/Islam}}</ref>
The Doctor visited his old friend [[Plex]] to deliver the news that his home planet had been destroyed in a freak [[singularity]] and discovered that Plex had created hundreds of clones of himself to populate the [[Planet (The Promise)|empty planet]] where he resided. In light of Plex having recently become the last of his species, the Doctor realised that Plex's plan made sense and gave him a modified [[Chameleon Arch]] [[biodata module]] to "copy and paste" his memories into the clones. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Promise (FCBD comic story)|The Promise]]'')


Avicenna’s consideration of the essence-attributes question may be elucidated in terms of his ontological analysis of the modalities of being; namely impossibility, contingency, and necessity. Avicenna argued that the impossible being is that which cannot exist, while the contingent in itself (''mumkin bi-dhatihi'') has the potentiality to be or not to be without entailing a contradiction. When actualized, the contingent becomes a ‘necessary existent due to what is other than itself’ (''wajib al-wujud bi-ghayrihi''). Thus, contingency-in-itself is potential beingness that could eventually be actualized by an external cause other than itself. The metaphysical structures of necessity and contingency are different. Necessary being due to itself (''wajib al-wujud bi-dhatihi'') is true in itself, while the contingent being is ‘false in itself’ and ‘true due to something else other than itself’. The necessary is the source of its own being without borrowed existence. It is what always exists.<ref>Avicenna, ''Kitab al-shifa’, Metaphysics II'', (eds.) G. C. Anawati, Ibrahim Madkour, Sa’id Zayed (Cairo, 1975), p. 36</ref><ref>[[Nader El-Bizri]], "Avicenna and Essentialism," ''Review of Metaphysics'', Vol. 54 (2001), pp. 753-778</ref> The Necessary exists ‘due-to-Its-Self’, and has no quiddity/essence (''mahiyya'') other than existence (''wujud''). Furthermore, It is ‘One’ (''wahid ahad'')<ref>Avicenna, ''Metaphysica of Avicenna'', trans. Parviz Morewedge (New York, 1973), p. 43.</ref> since there cannot be more than one ‘Necessary-Existent-due-to-Itself’ without differentia (fasl) to distinguish them from each other. Yet, to require differentia entails that they exist ‘due-to-themselves’ as well as ‘due to what is other than themselves’; and this is contradictory. However, if no differentia distinguishes them from each other, then there is no sense in which these ‘Existents’ are not one and the same.<ref>Nader El-Bizri, ''The Phenomenological Quest between Avicenna and Heidegger'' (Binghamton, N.Y.: Global Publications SUNY, 2000)</ref>  Avicenna adds that the ‘Necessary-Existent-due-to-Itself’ has no genus (''jins''), nor a definition (''hadd''), nor a counterpart (''nadd''), nor an opposite (''did''), and is detached (''bari’'') from matter (''madda''), quality (''kayf''), quantity (''kam''), place (''ayn''), situation (''wad’''), and time (''waqt'').<ref>Avicenna, ''Kitab al-Hidaya'', ed.

=== Embracing a second chance ===
[[File: 1912 Southampton.jpeg|thumb|left|The Doctor and the [[Daniels family (Rose)|Daniels family]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Have You Seen This Man? (short story)|Have You Seen This Man?]]'')]]
The Doctor arrived in [[Southampton]] in April [[1912]] with a head injury. He was treated by the [[Daniels family (Rose)|Daniels family]], whose garden he'd arrived in. He spent a few days in their company, finding common ground with Arthur who was similarly a veteran of war, and learnt they were due to voyage on the [[RMS Titanic|''Titanic'']]. He helped expose [[William Spence]]'s attempt to sabotage their shipping business with alien technology and then departed, stealing their tickets for the ''Titanic'' to save them from its doomed voyage. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Battle Scars (audio story)|Battle Scars]]'') The Daniels kept a photo of them and the Doctor from their brief time together. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}})


===Natural philosophy===
The Doctor stole an [[atmosphere destroyer]] from [[Althea Bryce]] and took it to [[Krakatoa]] in [[1883]] to destroy it, where he encountered a younger version of Althea. They deduced they were caught in a paradox as she would steal the device from him after which he would later steal it from her, a loop he worried would eventually damage the device causing it to detonate. Althea eventually convinced him to tell her about her future self's actions, causing them to argue, and he began to suffer the effects of the paradox. After Althea came to a realisation that she didn't want to be the criminal he'd described, the Doctor developed a plan with her to fake her future self's criminal reputation to avoid damaging history and for her to retrieve the weapon from Krakatoa to finally defuse it. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Her Own Bootstraps (audio story)|Her Own Bootstraps]]'')
Ibn Sina and [[Abū Rayhān al-Bīrūnī]] engaged in a written debate, with Abu Rayhan Biruni mostly criticizing [[Aristotelianism|Aristotelian]] [[natural philosophy]] and the [[Peripatetic school]], while Avicenna and his student Ahmad ibn 'Ali al-Ma'sumi respond to Biruni's criticisms in writing. Abu Rayhan began by asking Avicenna eighteen questions, ten of which were criticisms of [[Aristotle]]'s ''[[On the Heavens]]''.<ref>Rafik Berjak and Muzaffar Iqbal, "Ibn Sina—Al-Biruni correspondence", ''Islam & Science'', June 2003.</ref>


===Theology===
The Doctor used erased days from a temporal weapon preserved by his [[Eighth Doctor|eighth incarnation]] to restore [[Gernica]] to existence after it had been destroyed in the Time War. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Death Will Not Part Us (audio story)|Death Will Not Part Us]]'')
Ibn Sīnā was a devout Muslim and sought to reconcile rational philosophy with [[Islamic theology]]. His aim was to prove the existence of God and His creation of the world scientifically and through [[reason]] and [[logic]].<ref name=Goodman-8-9>Lenn Evan Goodman (2003), ''Islamic Humanism'', p. 8-9, [[Oxford University Press]], ISBN 0195135806.</ref> Avicenna wrote a number of treatises dealing with Islamic theology. These included treatises on the [[Islamic prophet]]s, whom he viewed as "inspired philosophers", and on various scientific and philosophical interpretations of the [[Qur'an]], such as how Quranic [[cosmology]] corresponds to his own philosophical system.<ref>James W. Morris (1992), "The Philosopher-Prophet in Avicenna's Political Philosophy", in C. Butterworth (ed.), ''The Political Aspects of Islamic PhIlosophy'', Chapter 4, Cambridge [[Harvard University Press]], p. 142-188 [159-161].</ref>


Ibn Sīnā [[Hafiz (Quran)|memorized the Qur'an]] by the age of seven, and as an adult, he wrote five treatises commenting on [[sura]]s from the Qur'an. One of these texts included the ''Proof of Prophecies'', in which he comments on several Quranic verses and holds the Qur'an in high esteem. Avicenna argued that the Islamic prophets should be considered higher than philosophers.<ref>Jules Janssens (2004), "Avicenna and the Qur'an: A Survey of his Qur'anic commentaries", ''MIDEO'' '''25''', p. 177-192.</ref>
Whilst trying to stop multiple invasions and schemes, the Doctor became frustrated that his future selves kept beating him to it and leaving him Christmas cards, which he hid away in the wardrobe room that he refused to enter anymore. Finally after one [[Twelfth Doctor|future Doctor]] trained armed guards to force him to take a break for Christmas, the Doctor entered the wardrobe room again, apologising to the TARDIS for breaking the mirrors, and found an old card leftover from his previous self depicting Earth, which he decided could be his new place to call home now he no longer had Gallifrey to return to. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Day to Yourselves (short story)|A Day to Yourselves]]'')


===Thought experiments===
=== On the Sphere of Freedom ===
While he was imprisoned in the castle of Fardajan near [[Hamadhan]], Avicenna wrote his famous "Floating Man" [[thought experiment]] to demonstrate human [[self-awareness]] and the substantiality and immateriality of the [[Soul (spirit)|soul]]. Avicenna believed his "Floating Man" thought experiment demonstrated that the soul is a substance, and claimed humans cannot doubt their own consciousness, even in a situation that prevents all sensory data input.  The thought experiment told its readers to imagine themselves created all at once while suspended in the air, isolated from all [[Wikt:sensation|sensations]], which includes no sensory contact with even their own bodies. He argued that, in this scenario, one would still have [[self-consciousness]].  Because it is conceivable that a person, suspended in air while cut off from sense experience, would still be capable of determining his own existence, the thought experiment points to the conclusions that the soul is a perfection, independent of the body, and an immaterial substance. The conceivability of this “Floating Man” indicates that the soul is perceived intellectually, which entails the soul’s separateness from the body.  Avicenna referred to the living human [[nous|intelligence]], particularly the [[active intellect]], which he believed to be the [[hypostatic abstraction|hypostasis]] by which God communicates [[truth]] to the human [[mind]] and imparts order and intelligibility to [[nature]]. However, Avicenna posited the brain as the place where reason interacts with sensation.  Sensation prepares the soul to receive rational concepts from the universal Agent Intellect.  The first knowledge of the flying person would be “I am,” affirming his or her essence.  That essence could not be the body, obviously, as the flying person has no sensation. Thus, the knowledge that “I am” is the core of a human being:  the soul exists and is self-aware.<ref>{{cite book|last=Hasse|first=Dag Nikolaus|title=Avicenna’s De Anima in the Latin West|year=2000|publisher=Warburg Institute|location=London|page=81}}</ref>  Avicenna thus concluded that the idea of the [[self (philosophy)|self]] is not logically dependent on any physical [[Object (philosophy)|thing]], and that the soul should not be seen in [[relative term]]s, but as a primary given, a [[substance theory|substance]].  The body is unnecessary; in relation to it, the soul is its perfection.<ref name="Nader El-Bizri 2000 pp. 149-171"/><ref name="elbizri67-89"/><ref>{{Cite book| publisher = Routledge| isbn = 9780415056670| last = Nasr| first = Seyyed Hossein| coauthors = Oliver Leaman| title = History of Islamic philosophy| year = 1996| pages=315, 1022–3}}</ref>  In itself, the soul is an immaterial substance.<ref>{{cite book|last=Hasse|first=Dag Nikolaus|title=Avicenna's De Anima in the Latin West|year=2000|publisher=Warburg Institute|location=London|page=92}}</ref>
Travelling alone, the Doctor discovered [[Time eddy|time eddies]] messing with history and encountered [[Roman Empire|Roman]] [[Centurion]]s stranded in [[1959]] [[London]] killing the populace. He followed the eddies to the [[Sphere of Freedom]] and teamed up with a chef named [[Nova (Sphere of Freedom)|Nova]] to stop the eddies and get her a better life, but their plan backfired and Nova was captured by a time eddy, leading the Doctor to recount his experiences to [[Audrey Mohinson]], who he did not realise owned the Sphere and was controlling the eddies. Her deception revealed, she transported the Doctor and the TARDIS to a [[neutron star]] full of creatures nicknamed [[Ravager (Sphere of Freedom)|Ravagers]] that were trying to devour the universe. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Sphere of Freedom (audio story)|Sphere of Freedom]]'')


==''The Canon of Medicine''==
The Doctor escaped through another time eddy, first witnessing [[Soviet Union]] tanks in the [[Battle of Waterloo]], then rescuing Nova from having her brain wiped by drones on a planet of giant plants. Tracking Audrey, the Doctor and Nova arrived after the Sphere's central arc was destroyed, accidentally setting the eddies and Ravagers free and causing the universe to implode, so they travelled back in time to witness a younger Audrey trying to stop the Ravagers on [[Tarlishia]]. After being briefly imprisoned, the Doctor and Nova came up with a plan to repurpose the drones to destroy the offending [[time particle]]s. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Cataclysm (audio story)|Cataclysm]]'')

About 100 treatises were ascribed to Ibn Sina. Some of them are tracts of a few pages. Others are works extending through several volumes. His 14-volume ''The Canon of Medicine'' (Al-Qanoon fi al-Tibb, The Laws of Medicine) was a standard medical text in Europe and the Islamic world until the 18th century.<ref>[[Ziauddin Sardar]], [http://www.cgcu.net/imase/islam_science_philosophy.htm Science in Islamic philosophy]</ref>
After making a few wrong landings, the Doctor arrived on the Sphere in the past to destroy the time eddies, but this also caused destruction and he was caught by another eddy. Using a [[Gallifreyan]] control node from Audrey, the Doctor was able to psychically project himself to her across her life, learning from her and the Ravagers themselves how she was simply using her games and the eddies to try and satiate their hunger. With the TARDIS returning the Doctor to before the events took place, the Doctor returned to Audrey and refashioned her games to keep the Ravagers happy at the cost of aborting the previous timeline, although he promised the alternate timeline's Nova one trip in the TARDIS.

===Medicine and pharmacology===
=== Responding to calls ===
The book is known for its description of [[Infectious disease|contagious diseases]] and [[sexually transmitted disease]]s,<ref name=Zahoor>[[George Sarton]], ''Introduction to the History of Science''.<br />([[cf.]] Dr. A. Zahoor and Dr. Z. Haq (1997). [http://www.cyberistan.org/islamic/Introl1.html Quotations From Famous Historians of Science], Cyberistan.)</ref> [[quarantine]] to limit the spread of [[infectious disease]]s, and testing of medicines. Ibn Sīnā adopted, from the Greeks, the theory that epidemics are caused by pollution in the air ([[Miasma theory of disease|miasma]]).<ref>Joseph Patrick Byrne (2008). "[http://books.google.com/books?id=5Pvi-ksuKFIC&pg=PA33&dq&hl=en#v=onepage&q&f=false Encyclopedia of Pestilence, Pandemics, and Plagues: A-M]". [[ABC-CLIO]]. p.33. ISBN 0313341028.</ref> It classifies and describes [[disease]]s, and outlines their assumed causes. [[Hygiene]], simple and complex medicines, and functions of parts of the body are also covered. The Canon agrees with [[Aristotle]] (and disagrees with [[Hippocrates]]) that [[tuberculosis]] was contagious, a fact which was not universally accepted in Europe until centuries later. It also describes the symptoms and complications of [[diabetes]]. Both forms of facial paralysis were described in-depth.
While observing the [[Serapheem]] migration, the Doctor received a call for help from [[Marnie McDonald]], a teenager from [[Dundee]], [[Scotland]]. Arriving on Earth, the Doctor discovered that the Serapheem had mistakenly broken down Marnie and other teenagers into their molecules, misinterpreting their desire to run away. With Marnie's help, the Doctor managed to link up with the Serapheem and convinced them to reassemble all the teens, returning them to their families. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Girl, Deconstructed (audio story)|Girl, Deconstructed]]'')


''The Canon of Medicine'' discussed how to effectively test new medicines:
In [[Paris]], [[1946]], the Doctor met [[Artie Berger]], a pianist haunted by an alien creature that fed on sound. After several attempts, and after helping Artie recover his passion for music and his love of life, the Doctor finally managed to trap the creature and throw it into the Vortex. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Fright Motif (audio story)|Fright Motif]]'')


*The drug must be free from any extraneous accidental quality.
Another call for help took the Doctor to [[Occasus]], where he was immobilised by [[Sacristan]] [[Hinge (Planet of the End)|Hinge]] for ninety years. During that time, the Doctor's mind was held captive by the [[Incorporation]], who had lured him there to take possession of his [[artron energy]] and be reborn. After resisting their torture for as long as he could, the Doctor pretended to surrender if they would allow him to move his eyes. He took the opportunity to communicate with [[Fred (Planet of the End)|Fred]], the artificial intelligence guarding Occasus, and convince her to demobilise him. The Doctor and Fred then worked together to prevent the rebirth of the Incorporation; they finally succeeded by transferring the artron energy into Fred herself, who became a living being. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Planet of the End (audio story)|Planet of the End]]'')
*It must be used on a simple, not a composite, disease.
*The drug must be tested with two contrary types of diseases, because sometimes a drug cures one disease by Its essential qualities and another by its accidental ones.
*The quality of the drug must correspond to the strength of the disease. For example, there are some drugs whose heat is less than the coldness of certain diseases, so that they would have no effect on them.
*The time of action must be observed, so that essence and accident are not confused.
*The effect of the drug must be seen to occur constantly or in many cases, for if this did not happen, it was an accidental effect.
*The experimentation must be done with the human body, for testing a drug on a lion or a horse might not prove anything about its effect on man.


An Arabic edition of the ''Canon'' appeared at Rome in 1593, and a Hebrew version at Naples in 1491. Of the Latin version there were about thirty editions, founded on the original translation by [[Gerard de Sabloneta]]. In the 15th century a commentary on the text of the ''Canon'' was composed. Other medical works translated into Latin are the ''Medicamenta Cordialia'', ''Canticum de Medicina'', and the ''Tractatus de Syrupo Acetoso''.
=== Encountering lost warriors ===
In [[1936]], the Doctor got involved into the problems of the Hawthorn family of [[Dunberry Hall]], under attack by mysterious assailants. He insisted on talking with them instead of fighting them, and managed to find their camp; here he was informed they were actually enforcers from another planet, come to arrest an alien war criminal hiding under the disguise of Lord Hawthorn. He helped them to unmask him, then went away - not without also helping the cook and servant of the house, Mrs Goose and Alice, to start a new life in London. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Hunting Season (audio story)|The Hunting Season]]'')


It was mainly accident which determined that from the 12th to the 18th century, Ibn Sīnā should be the guide of medical study in European universities, and eclipse the names of [[Rhazes]], [[Ali ibn Abbas al-Magusi|Ali ibn al-Abbas]] and [[Averroes]]. His work is not essentially different from that of his predecessor Rhazes, because he presented the doctrine of [[Galen]], and through Galen the doctrine of [[Hippocrates]], modified by the system of [[Aristotle]]. But the ''Canon'' of Ibn Sīnā is distinguished from the ''Al-Hawi'' (Continence) or ''Summary'' of Rhazes by its greater method, due perhaps to the logical studies of the former.
In medieval [[Scotland]], he met Gruach, wife of [[Macbeth]], and helped her solve the mystery of a mysterious disease affecting the local children. Together they determined that the cause was an ancient entity disturbed by some sailors and feeding on the psychic energy of the young Lulach, heir to the previous king. The Doctor then recognised that the creature took hold of Kinade, Gruach's father, and also revealled he had been spreading lies about Macbeth, falsely accusing him of having killed the king to take the throne. The Doctor removed the influence of the creature from Kinade, and in doing so cured the children, leaving them to Gruach's care decided to take care of. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Curse of Lady Macbeth (audio story)|The Curse of Lady Macbeth]]'')


The work has been variously appreciated in subsequent ages, some regarding it as a treasury of wisdom, and others, like Averroes, holding it useful only as waste paper. In modern times it has been mainly of historic interest as most of its tenets have been disproved or expanded upon by scientific medicine. The vice of the book is excessive classification of bodily faculties, and over-subtlety in the discrimination of diseases. It includes five books; of which the first and second discuss [[physiology]], [[pathology]] and [[hygiene]], the third and fourth deal with the methods of treating disease, and the fifth describes the composition and preparation of remedies. This last part contains some personal observations.
=== Plagued by the Cybermen ===
On the planet Xythara, the Doctor helped Professor [[Flyn Beckett]] and his assistant (and mistress) Sasha Grey to save some endangered species. He then accepted Beckett's invitation to his funeral when the time would come. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Fond Farewell (audio story)|Fond Farewell]]'')


He is ample in the enumeration of symptoms, and is said to be inferior in practical medicine and [[surgery]]. He introduced into medical theory the ''four causes of the [[Peripatetic school|Peripatetic]] system''. Of [[natural history]] and [[botany]] he pretended to no special knowledge. Up to the year 1650, or thereabouts, the ''Canon'' was still used as a textbook in the universities of [[Leuven]] and [[Montpellier]].
Finally arriving in [[1925]] to visit the set of [[Metropolis (film)|Metropolis]], the Doctor was surprised to find that [[Gustav Fröhlich]] has not been cast as the film's male lead, and horrified that [[Cyberman (Monsters in Metropolis)|a]] [[Cyberman]] is being used in place of the iconic robotic woman, under the guise of a "Machine Man" operated by [[Dieter Jovanovic]]. He intially assumed the Cyberman was controlling Jovanovic, and his suspicions appeared to be confirmed when the Cybermen killed the lead actor of the movie and escaped. He tracked him down together with Jovanovic, but he was surprised and ambushed by him: it was actually Jovanovic who had taken control of a dispersed and alone Cyberman, whose humanity was resurfacing. Jovanovic intended to use him to stop the production of a movie he felt "unpatriotic", because it promoted peace. The Doctor was able to break Jovanovic's grip on the Cyberman, and disabled him out of pity after they watched together the finished film. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Monsters in Metropolis (audio story)|Monsters in Metropolis]]'')


In the museum at [[Bukhara]], there are displays showing many of his writings, [[surgical instruments]] from the period and paintings of patients undergoing treatment. Ibn Sīnā was interested in the effect of the [[mind]] on the [[body]], and wrote a great deal on [[psychology]], likely influencing [[Ibn Tufayl]] and [[Ibn Bajjah]]. He also introduced medical herbs.
Making good to his promise, the Doctor showed up to Beckett's funeral at Fond Farewell, when an avatar of the Professor's consciousness was also in attendance. He got suspicious when the Professor didn't recognise either him or Sasha, so he investigated into Fond Farewell suspecting foul play from one of his enemies. However, it turned out that the wife of the Professor asked to remove from his husband's mind the memory of their last months in order to forget his cheating, but the discarded memories took hold of the Attendants robots and started attacking people. The Doctor confronted the wife and convinced to let the Professor regain his memory, so they could have a real goodbye. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Fond Farewell (audio story)|Fond Farewell]]'')


Avicenna extended the theory of temperaments in ''The Canon of Medicine'' to encompass "[[emotion]]al aspects, mental capacity, [[moral]] attitudes, [[self-awareness]], movements and [[dream]]s." He summarized his version of the [[Humorism|four humours]] and temperaments in a table as follows:<ref name=Lutz>{{Cite book|first=Peter L.|last=Lutz|year=2002|title=The Rise of Experimental Biology: An Illustrated History|page=60|publisher=[[Humana Press]]|isbn=0896038351|oclc=47894348}}</ref>
Wanting to spend time with old friends following the funeral, the Doctor decided to visit [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]] in [[Scotland]]. He encountered [[Sam Bishop]], thinking he was a soldier and was fascinated with learning more about local folklore from [[Fiona McCall]]. He went with them to [[Inchcolm]] to learn more about the history. Here he encountered the Brigadier and learnt that he was there investigating a haunting. He later saw Sam being affected by a memory from the past. He captured the memories that were stored in the bridge before erasing them. However, this caused [[Kreel (Way of the Burryman)|Kreel]] to activate his cyber-army. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Way of the Burryman (audio story)|Way of the Burryman]]'') He used the local legends to attack the Cybermen using burrs. He realised that Kreel's Cybermen weren't fully programmed. He was taken by the Cybermen to get the [[Cyber-Head]], and tried to stop them converting people. He wanted to use the doubts in the new Cybermen against Kreel. He used Fiona's research to find a way to ward of the Cybermen. After Fiona stopped the Cybermen, he learnt that the Brigadier had changed by not disposing of the Cybermen by bombing them and relocating those who regained their human memories. The Brigadier suggested that he needed a travelling companion, like he had [[Doris Lethbridge-Stewart|Doris]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Forth Generation (audio story)|The Forth Generation]]'')

=== Further solo exploits ===
|+Avicenna's four humours and [[temperament]]s
After going too close to a temporal contusion, something got past the TARDIS's defences, causing it to misbehave. The Doctor decided to chase after it, leading him to an abandoned train station. There, he met [[Saffron Windrose]], who had been trapped there by [[the Grimminy-Grew]], which also trapped the Doctor by altering space so that the TARDIS was not where the Doctor had left it. Both the Doctor and Saffron experienced strange temporal dislocations, seeing people taken from different time periods who were unable to see or hear them. The Doctor and Saffron were able to reach the other people trapped by the Grew and, by speaking to them, were able to deduce that the Grew had been able to trap them because they were unable to make an important choice in their lives or were making a choice that they knew they would regret. [[Hodkin|Mrs Hodkin]], one of the people trapped by the Grew, told the Doctor that she heard its song about the Sileroon which helped him to identify who the Grew was. The Doctor challenged the Grew to a thought battle in which each took turns guessing the other's true name, with the loser to be cast into oblivion. The Doctor correctly guessed the Grew's real name on his third attempt, defeating the creature. The power the Grew had over the station dissipated, sending all of the trapped people back to the points they had been taken from. The Doctor and Saffron then said their goodbyes as they parted ways, with the Doctor leaving in his TARDIS. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Station to Station (audio story)}}'')

===Physical Exercise: the Key to Health===
The TARDIS picked up a strange signal leading to the [[Kremlin]] in [[1605]] just after the murder of [[Boris Fyodorovich Godunov]]. The Doctor examined Boris's body after [[Oksana Vladimirovna Kuznetsova]] told him how the murder happened. He then saw how [[Grishka]] killed Boris's heir and [[Aleksander Petrovich Kuznetsov]] told him what he knew of Grishka, including the relics he had stolen. He realised following the description of the orb in Grishka's chest that it was an alien control orb. After learning about Grishka's humanity still being inside the body, he wanted to save him.

'''The Canon of Medicine: Volume 1 of 5; Part 4 of 5: The Preservation of Health '''


Ibn Sina's Canon of Medicine which is written in 5 volumes, only the first volume has appeared in the English Language. In the first volume, Ibn Sina divides medicine into two parts as he explains it throughout the first book: the theoretical and the practical. The theoretical part consists of, but is not excluded to, such things as: the causes of health and disease, the temperaments, the humours, the anatomy, general physiology, the breath, psychology, discussion of causes diseases and symptoms, the causes of illness, the classification of diseases, the pulse, the urine etc.
The Doctor landed on a space station orbiting [[Venus]] and met [[Lenni Fisk]] shortly before [[Pal Andrews]] froze [[Kenton (Break the Ice)|Kenton]]. He became worried when he realised that Kenton was technically dead. He tried to isolate the rest of the crew and set the TARDIS adrift. He realised that the creature was the entity known on Earth as [[Jack Frost]]. Lenni and the Doctor devised a plan to stop Frost using an exothermic reaction of Venus's sulphuric acid and water. He told Frost that he witnessed the [[Winter Lord]]s' destruction during the Time War. He and Lenni jumped out of the space station without space suits to jump into the TARDIS. He took her to [[Jeanie (Break the Ice)|Jeanie]] and to her son to get him the treatment he needed. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Break the Ice (audio story)}})


{{quote|As he himself says in the book on pg 353 "In the first part of this book it was stated that medicine comprises two parts, one theoretical, and one practical, though both are really speculative science." {{harv|Avicenna|1999|p=353}}}}
He posed as the caretaker for a country estate in the North of England. He tried to convince [[Mandy Litherland]] not to investigate the house. He had organised for fireworks to be set off at midnight. After learning that Mandy wanted to travel and gave her a baton to return a year later.{{What?}} On this second visit, he protected her from the antibodies and showed her that the house was temporarily unstable and that he needed her help to stop it, so he kept inviting her back to the house. He missed a year which caused a problem with his plans. He realised that the house was merged with a damaged time ship. He helped [[Frank (Auld Lang Syne)|Frank]] become a real person and not a manifestation of the broken time machine. The Doctor wanted to invite Mandy to travel with her but knew that she would not accept if she knew she could not return to the house. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Auld Lang Syne (audio story)}})


'''Theoretical and Practical Medicine'''
He went to [[Salvation Nine (moon)|Salvation Nine]] for relaxation but discovered a peaceful community of a race descended from [[Sontaran]]s called the [[Niner]]s. He was impressed at how they had evolved, having forgotten anything of battle and developed agriculture and music among other things. He then learnt that the moon was going to be destroyed by the [[Free Galactic Alliance]] to wipe out the population of what they believed to be Sontarans. He tried to convince them that the Niners were peaceful and should not be destroyed, but was unable to convince them, only being able to buy time. He discovered that the moon was originally inhabited by another race, but they were wiped out by the Sontarans when they first crashed. He was about to allow the Niners to be destroyed until he discovered their birthing grounds and realised that they had truly become a new species. He presented this to the Alliance, but they were unconvinced. As a last resort, he abducted a Sontaran Field Marshal so that he would disown the Niners as Sontarans. He was able to do so by showing him the process the Niner birthing grounds, saving the Niners at the last minute. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Salvation Nine (audio story)}})


Ibn Sina goes on to say that you do not get any benefit from just knowing how your body works, but rather the true benefit of medicine itself is in its practical aspect, since medicine is for the preservation of health.
He went to [[Delius]]' shop to get a part for his TARDIS, but was mistaken for a vet by [[Selo]], to look at the last Zetacene Swine.{{What?}} He wanted to save it and repopulate the species. After helping [[Nel]] with her [[asthma]] attack, she told him about what Selo was doing. He devised a plan with Nel to win the Swine to save it. He became worried when the Zetacene was let out. He worked out a way to pacify the Zetacene. He realised that Sela was using the Zetacene to kill her friends to gain their wealth. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Last of the Zetacene (audio story)}})


{{quote|"That which is speculative named theory relates to the formation of opinions and the showing of the evidence upon which they are based, without reference to the mode of acting upon them. Thus this part deals with the temperaments, the humors, the drives, and with the forms, the symptoms, and the causes of disease. That which is specially named practical relates to the mode of acting upon this knowledge, and the prescription of a regimen." {{harv|Avicenna|1999|p=353}}}}
The Doctor landed in a submarine in a sea on [[Titan]]. He helped [[Rachel Bates]] and [[Diana Hendry]] improve the submarine to allow a deeper dive into the seas. Taking a trip with Diana, they encountered a massive living creature and then a colony of [[Sea Devil]]s. He learnt that the humans' pollution from mining was causing illness amongst the Sea Devils and their retaliation was the illness spreading through the human colony. He recognised it as a derivative of the [[Silurian plague]]. He tried to encourage a peace between the two species and, after some difficulty, managed to succeed. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Seas of Titan (audio story)}})


'''The Benefits of Exercise'''
He stayed at the [[Bad Homburg Spa]] and was employed by [[Bertha Kinzky]] to teach her opera. After helping Bertha save the life of a drowning victim, he was intrigued at the burnt cabbage smell of the bathing salts. He learnt that [[Trinity (Lay Down Your Arms)|Trinity]] had been using Ignus Furite to create soldiers from the guests of the hotel. He saw that they were getting them to fight each other, as proxies for their own war as they could risk being fined by the Shadow Proclamation. He used the Emerald Pacifite byproduct to counteract the effect. He then told the Shadow Proclamation what had happened. He tried to convice Bertha to become a novelist. He watched her acceptance speech for her Nobel prize. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Lay Down Your Arms (audio story)}})


Once the purpose of medicine has been set forth, then from pages 377-455, Ibn Sina divides the way of achieving health as:
He was investigating [[Flatpack (store)|Flatpack]] when he encountered [[Liv Chenka]] and [[Tania Bell]]. He immediately told them to leave. They couldn't find the exit despite many attempts. They decided to go back to the TARDIS but discovered it had been displaced. He was intrigued by how the store was anomalous. He theorised that everyone in the world had come to Flatpack, and that they were still in there. He theorised that the building was [[Dimensional transcendentalism|dimensionally transcendental]]. He asked to see the Manager and was taken to [[Colleague One]]. After seeing the future version of Liv he worked out the shop came from the future and that it was a system to keep people shopping. He nearly became a permanent part of Flatpack until Liv was able to destroy Flatpack and free everyone in it. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Flatpack (audio story)}})


{{quote| "Since the regimen of maintaining health consists essentially in the regulation of: (1) exercise (2) food and (3) sleep, we may begin our discourse with the subject of exercise". {{harv|Avicenna|1999|p=377}}}}
The TARDIS was attracted to a strange electromagnetic signal coming from Mrs [[Bevell]]'s shop. He theorised that something was hiding in it using the red light. He learnt about the [[Vermine]] and wanted to know how they travelled to Earth. He theorised that the Vermine was using emotional attachments to power their invasions. After Bevell painted the TARDIS red, The Doctor worked out a way to trap the creatures and prevented their invasion of the [[N-Space|universe]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Colour of Terror (audio story)}})


Exercise itself is divided into three main parts: The Massage (which is equivalent to massaging your muscles before you start to exercise); The Exercise itself; and lastly the Cold Bath.
He was investigating a mysterious botanical being after the single men of London and posed as [[Toby Entwhistle]]'s valet. They went to the [[Fellows Club]] as it was easier to defend, but was appalled by the sexism and bigotry he heard. He learnt that [[Birkett]] found the plants in a crashed spaceship. He realised that his loss was the reason why his touch wilted the plants and learnt that the [[Eulalia]] was feeding on the emotions of the men so that they could transmat off the planet. He got [[Phil (The Blooming Menace)|Phil]] to admit her love for Toby. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Blooming Menace (audio story)}})


Giving one of the greatest benefits of the regimen of exercise, and then explaining the extremely important and necessary need for physical exercise; Ibn Sina states:
===Travels with Callen and Doyle===


{{quote|"Once we direct the attention towards regulating exercise as to amount and time, we shall find there is no need for such medicines as are ordinarily required for remedying diseases dependent on [abnormal] matters, or diseases of temperament consequent upon such. This is true provided the rest of the regimen is appropriate and proper." {{harv|Avicenna|1999|p=377}}}}
The Doctor was apprehended by [[Doyle (Red Darkness)|Doyle]] who was protecting his master [[Callen Lennox]]. They went to find a colleague of Callen who was killed shortly before he realised it was the [[Vashta Nerada]]. He learnt more about [[Iona Lennox]]'s research into optics. He learnt that some Vermine had entered the universe through a red star and allied with the Vashta Nerada, creating a new species called Red Darkness. He realised that the Red Darkness wanted his TARDIS, so went to it to leave the planet. A swarm of Red Darkness held Doyle hostage to force his hand to take them in the TARDIS, but the Doctor used this to his advantage to persuade the Vashta Nerada to abandon the alliance. He was temporarily blinded to stop himself being possessed. After this is invited Callen and Doyle to travel with him. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Red Darkness (audio story)}})


{{quote|The value of exercise includes the following (1) it hardens the organs and renders them fit for their functions (2) it results in a better absorption of food, aids assimilation, and, by increasing the innate heat, improves nutrition (3) it clears the pores of the skin (4) it removes effete substances through the lungs (5) it strengthens the physique. Vigorous exercise invigorates the muscular and nervous system." {{harv|Avicenna|1999|p=379}}}}


'''In what manner does Ibn Sina uses the word temperament? In saying that exercise cures diseases of temperamant'''
The Doctor took Callen and Doyle on several adventures. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Green Gift (audio story)}})


Ibn Sina divides temperament into that which is harmonious and that which is non-uniform. Ibn Sina says on pg 276-277
The Doctor became annoyed at the amount of times that Doyle wanted to go to the bathroom. He was intrigued at the artificial sky and cultivated land. He learnt from [[Tay Lothlor]] about the purpose of the ship they were on. He became concerned when [[Fiacra]] knew he was a Time Lord. He requested a set of archive media from the ship's library. After visiting the solar engines, he became worried after smelling burning hydrocarbons. He learnt that the [[BOSS]] was controlling the systems. He showed the crew where to settle on a new planet. He left Callen and Doyle behind to help start the new world. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Green Gift (audio story)}})

===Returning to travelling solo===
The TARDIS warned the Doctor of an imminent collision due to its flight circuits being fried; he activated an emergency warning to notify the planet below. He was irritated that it turned out to be Earth. He was rescued by [[Fridtjof Nansen]] and [[Hjalmar Johansen]], and was excited to see them. He was worried when [[The Aurora]] followed him to Earth. After recognising him as an advanced being, he convinced the Aurora to not feast on Nanson and Johansen as they were important to the history of Earth. After the Aurora fixed the TARDIS, he left and asked Nansen and Johansen keep him secret. The Doctor eventually took Nansen to the North Pole. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Northern Lights (audio story)}})


{{quote|"In brief, there is non-uniformity of temperament among the members; or, perchance, the principal members depart from equability and come to be of contrary temperament, one deviating towards one, amother to its contrary. If the components of the body are out of proportion, it is unfortunate both for talent and reasoning power." {{harv|Avicenna|1999|p=277}}}}
The Doctor decided to visit the founding of the football league. However, he landed a week early encountering a [[Strike (The Beautiful Game)|Strike]]. He wasn't that delighted when seeing [[William Sudell]]'s attitude. He tried to recruit [[Daphne (The Beautiful Game)|Daphne]] to his investigations, but she was obsessed with being in her place. He later told her not to bottle up her grief after seeing [[Eva (The Beautiful Game)|Eva]]. He stopped the Strike by erasing its memory. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Beautiful Game (audio story)}})


'''The Purpose of Exercise and the Dangers of its negligence'''
He intercepted a call from [[Vyx Leeson]] who he realised was scared. Vyx wanted to know how he was able to contact her. He didn't know about Leap Corps. After arriving he realised that Vyx was hiding the other worker on the ship, and that she took psychic suppressants. He learnt that [[Tom Francis]] tried to leap home to see his daughter, and he tried to show her that she needed to show her superiors what happened to make it safer. Eventually he convinced her and helped her send a signal to all workers about the disaster and to switch off the system. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Below There (audio story)}})


{{quote| Continuing on the proof to why exercise should be so beneficial Ibn Sina says "We know that this must be so when we reflect how in regard to nutriment, our health depends on the nutriment being appropriate for us and regulated in quantity and quality. For not one of the aliments which are capable of nourishing the body is converted into actual nutriment in its entirety. In every case digestion leaves something untouched, and nature takes care to have that evacuated. Nevertheless, the evacuation which nature accomplishes is not a complete one. Hence at the end of each digestion there is some superfluity left over. Should this be a frequent occurrence, repetition would lead to further aggregation until something measurable has accumulated. As a result, harmful effete substances would form and injure various parts of the body. When they undergo decomposition, putrefactive diseases arise [bacterial infections]. Should they be strong in quality, they will give rise to intemperament; and if they should increase in quantity, they would set up the symptoms of plethora which have already been described. Flowing to some member, they will result in an inflammatory mass, and their vapors will destroy the temperament of the substantial basis of the breath.
The Doctor landed on a spaces garage for a repair on the TARDIS. He encountered his old friends [[Sita (The Butler Did It)|Sita]] and [[Kiri (The Butler Did It)|Kiri]], but Sita was poisoned. So he started to investigate it. He employed the services of [[Myra (The Butler Did It)|Myra]] to get more information. After testing Myra's blood after her poisoning, he discovered it was actually [[Nanogene]]s and found out it was [[Tillier (The Butler Did It)|Tillier]] as part of his scheme to exploit rare DNA. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Butler Did It (audio story)}})


That is the reason why we must be careful to evacuate these substances. Their evacuation is usually not completely accomplished without the aid of toxic medicines, for these break up the nature of the effate substances. This can be achieved only by toxic agents, although the drinking of them is to a certain extent deleterious to our nature. As Hippocrates says: "Medicine purges and ages." More than this the discharge of superfluous humor entails the loss of a large part of the natural humidities and of the breath, which is the substance of life. All this is at the expense of the strength of the principal and the auxiliary members, and therefore they are weakened thereby. These and other things account for the difficulties incident to plethora, whether they remain behind in the body or are evacuated by it." {{harv|Avicenna|1999|pp=377–8}}}}
The Doctor posed as [[Alpha Centauri (The Curse of Peladon)|Alpha Centauri]]'s personal assistant when they first became a senator of the [[Galactic Federation]]. He convinced them to be the symbolic candidate. He then organised their presidential campaign. The Doctor told them about the potential future where [[Bellatrix Vega]] became a dictator. An anonymous source told the Doctor to follow the [[Trisilicate]] and found out that Vega was funded by a lobby to deregulate mining. Vega later kidnapped him. He was rescued by [[Zzargol]] who told him that he was his informant. He learnt that [[Kramp]] was manipulating many governments to be run on comercial lines rather than political lines. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Run (audio story)}})


Just before this Ibn Sina explained how accumulation of food in our body, can cause diseases, and one way to rid us of this is strong medicines. However, as he explains; this is not the ideal way, and certainly not the long-term. Thus, to make his point very clear, and show the extreme necessity of daily exercise for health, Ibn Sina states:
After hearing a doorbell in the TARDIS, he answered the door an encountered some apparitions. He tracked them to [[Antonin Artaud]] in Paris 1935. He accompanied Antonin to a lecture on his new play. He learnt that Antonin was seeing visions of [[Astraphi|Beatrice Cenci]]. He analysed Antonin's dreams by visiting them. He went back in time to verify the true portrait of Cenci. After seeing this he was determined to reveal the truth, and asked Artaud to allow him to manipulate his dreams. He discovered that the [[Astraphi]] was behind this and they exploited the fact that Antonin had received electroshock therapy and tried to get Antonin to use his positive memories to defeat them. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|A Theatre of Cruelty (audio story)}})


{{quote|"Now exercise is that agent which most surely prevents the accumulation of these matters, and prevents plethora. The other forms of regiment assist it. It is this exercise which renews and revives the innate heat, and imparts the necessary lightness to the body, for it causes the subtle heat to be increased and daily disperses whatever effete substances have accumulated; the movements of the body help them to expel them conveying them to those parts of the body whence they can readily leave it. Hence the effete matters are not allowed to collect day after day and besides this, as we have just said, exercise causes the innate heat to flourish and keeps the joints and ligaments firm, so as to be always ready for service, and also free from injury. It renders the members able to receive nutriment, in being free from accumulated effate matters. Hence it renders the members light and the humidities attenuated, and it dilates the pores of the skin.
The Doctor encountered a set of vortex amoebae before receiving a reminder to visit [[Hallifax]] and [[Ann Lister]]. He was taken by [[Ambika Desai]] to a police station for impersonating a police officer. He delighted in this experience. He then pushed Ambika to investigate the death of a local by entropic degradation. He was affected by a resonance field around the town. [[Frank Kelsey]] told him about the Hallifax Gibbet. He found the blade and thought that it was the centre of the field. He realised he was the cause of the problem and worked out how to close the time rip the TARDIS caused. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Running Men (audio story)}})


To forsake exercise would often incur the risk of "hectic", because the instinctive drives of the members are impaired, inasmuch as the deprivation of movement prevents the access to them of the innate breath. And this last is the real instrument of life for every one of the members." {{harv|Avicenna|1999|pp=378–9}}}}
===Encountering time travelling archaeologists===
Posing as Professor Arthur van Dango, he joined [[Bernice Summerfield]] expedition but warned her about stopping her work. He told [[Cantiple]] that he had a special project. After his TARDIS was found, he apologised for trying to make her leave. He was on the planet to retrieve some Time War fallout that the Korravin had started to worship. He asked Benny and [[Finnda Twisk]] to get to the authorities to quarantine the planet. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Ancient History (audio story)}})


'''Massage'''
The Doctor went to [[Crell]] to find information and went to [[Natalie (Swipe Right)|Natalie]] and [[Barclay (Swipe Right)|Barclay]]. He talked to [[Bethany Brown]] about the disappearances on the planet. He later rescued her from being killed by the Matchmaker. He created a matchmaker profile to protect Bethany Brown due to her asexuality. The system wouldn't allow this, as it knew he was married to [[River Song]]. He went to find her and didn't believe her. He went to find [[the Matchmaker]]. He didn't like River using guns. He learnt that the Matchmaker was designed to make a more productive colony. He tried to rewrite the computers system, by showing that people didn't want to be in a couple. He couldn't use Beth as she was asexual but alloromatic, River gave him the solution as in this incarnation he was asexual and aromantic. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Swipe Right (audio story)}})


Before you begin to exercise it is important that you massage your muscles; as Ibn Sina says on page 385:
The TARDIS picked up a repeating signal from the [[Lukito Bank]], which was close to the Golden Ratio. It encoded a picture of River Song. He arrived and saw the bank in disarray, and was annoyed by River. He discovered that all notable faces across time was being changed to her. He learnt that people had been arrested through time. He took [[Spore (Face of the Apocalypse)|Spore]] home. He was disappointed that both Spore and [[Keetree]] weren't like the legends. He learnt that Spore was the writer of the Chronicle of Keespar, and read it with them. He used the fact that he had many faces to confused and overload [[Abel (Face of the Apocalypse)|Abel]]. He caused the start of the legends the Doctor read at the academy. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Face of the Apocalypse (audio story)}})


{{quote| "Massage as a preparatory to athletics. The massage begins gently, and then becomes more vigorous as the time approaches for the exercise." {{harv|Avicenna|1999|p=385}}}}
River requested one last piece of help and that she would promise never to bother him again. He was stuck there because of a temporal storm. [[Thaddeus Grey]] asked him to help find his husband in the storm. He reluctantly agreed to help with the expedition. As such he took the TARDIS roof lamp as a temporal anchor to help them when travelling through a rare temporal occurrence, and using his Gladstone Bag to extend the dimensions of the ship. He thought that the coral remnants were dimensional shrapnel from the explosion. Whilst trying to save River, he read [[River Song's diary|her diary]]. He looked River when she was affected by the coral. He realised that the Coral was showing them future echoes not echoes from the past. He learnt that [[Harvey Grey]] had died in the explosion but the equipment still worked. He decided to reset the explosion as it would stop the invention of the Vortex Manipulator. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Archipelago (audio story)}})


'''Exercises'''
=== Meeting Rose Tyler ===
[[File:NinthRunRose.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor meets Rose. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}})]]
While still "not quite calibrated" to his latest body, the Doctor was alerted by the TARDIS to a temporal problem in [[2005]] [[London]] involving the [[Nestene Consciousness]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Beast of Babylon (short story)|The Beast of Babylon]]'') While tracking down the Consciousness in [[Henrik's]], the Doctor encountered a group of [[Auton]]s who had surrounded [[Rose Tyler]], a young employee of the shop. Pulling her away from them, the Doctor blew up the building and the next day tracked down the Auton signal to Rose's [[Powell Estate|home]]. After saving her when it attacked, the Doctor took it to [[The Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]], telling Rose to forget him, and tried to use the arm to trace the Consciousness's signal, but the arm was too "simple" for him to do so. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}) After this, the Doctor left London to go on more adventures, including one in which he fought a [[pterodactyl]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rose (novelisation)|Rose]]'')


The exercises themselves are divided into 'strenuous, mild, vigorous and brisk'. On pages 379-381; Ibn Sina states the types of exercises under each type:
=== Solitary exploits ===
{{section stub|Info from ''[[I Was Churchill's Double (audio story)|I Was Churchill's Double]]'' needs to be added}}


{{quote| "Strenuous exercises include: wrestling contests, boxing, quick marching, running, jumping over an object higher than one foot, throwing the javelin, fencing, horsemanship, swimming. Mild exercises include: fishing, sailing, being carried on camels, swinging to and fro. Vigorous exercises include: those performed by soldiers in camp, in military sports; field running, long jumping, high jumping, polo, stone throwing, lifting heavy stones or weights, various forms of wrestling. Brisk exercises include: involves interchanging places with a partner as swiftly as possible, each jumping to and fro, either in time [to music] or irregularly." {{harv|Avicenna|1999|pp=379–81}}}}
The Doctor slayed a [[dragon]] in [[Krakow]], [[wrestling|wrestled]] with a [[tiger]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Only Human (novel)|Only Human]]'') had an adventure with [[Mako]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Escape into Alcatraz (comic story)|Escape into Alcatraz]]'') and attended the funeral of [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Shroud of Sorrow (novel)|Shroud of Sorrow]]'')


There are certain important things to note once you start exercising, one is the amount, the other consistency; Ibn Sina states about the amount:
The Doctor met [[Madame Vastra]] when she was awoken by construction being done to the [[London Underground]]. After slaughtering five innocent workers for the accidental deaths of her sisters, the Doctor managed to talk her down and help her integrate into Victorian society. ([[TV]]: {{cs|A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)}}; [[PROSE]]: ''[[Madame Vastra (short story)|Madame Vastra]]'', [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Lost Dimension (comic story)|The Lost Dimension]]'') Though he knew the truth, he allowed Vastra to believe she was the last of her kind and spoke to her of the loss of his people, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Madame Vastra (short story)|Madame Vastra]]'', [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Lost Dimension (comic story)|The Lost Dimension]]'') confiding in her many secrets of the Time Lords. ([[TV]]: {{cs|A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)}}) He met fairies alongside Vastra, warned her in vain not to join [[Henry Gordon Jago]]'s [[Monstre Gathering|freak show]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Madame Vastra (short story)|Madame Vastra]]'', [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Lost Dimension (comic story)|The Lost Dimension]]'') and was present when Vastra met [[Jenny Flint]], "[saving] her life" in the process. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Name of the Doctor (TV story)}})


{{quote| "(1) the color - as long as the skin goes on becoming florid, the exercise may be continued. After it ceases to do so, the exercise must be discontinued." {{harv|Avicenna|1999|p=384}}}}
In [[1944]], the Doctor took Churchill on a trip to ancient [[Rome]], where they encountered a creature [[disguise]]d as one of Emperor [[Tiberius]]' reclining [[bench]]es. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Lost Diaries of Winston Spencer Churchill (short story)|The Lost Diaries of Winston Spencer Churchill]]'') While having a sword fight with a [[Sontaran]] in [[21st century]] [[Istanbul]], the Doctor was saved by [[Sally Sparrow (What I Did on My Christmas Holidays by Sally Sparrow)|Sally Sparrow]], who gave him [[What I Did on My Christmas Holidays|her Christmas homework]] from [[2005]] and told him to keep it on him at all times. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[What I Did on My Christmas Holidays by Sally Sparrow (short story)|What I Did on My Christmas Holidays by Sally Sparrow]]'')


On being consistent with exercise Ibn Sina states (on the importance of having a regimen):
The Doctor delivered letters from his [[fifth incarnation]] to [[Clarrie]] and his former companions [[Peri Brown]] and [[Erimem]] at the [[the Kingmaker|Kingmaker inn]] in [[1483]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Kingmaker (audio story)|The Kingmaker]]'') tended to [[Honoré Lechasseur]]'s injuries after a bunker exploded in [[1951]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Albino's Dancer (novel)|The Albino's Dancer]]'') and took [[Alexander Pope]] and [[Theobald]] to see [[William Shakespeare]]'s ''[[Cardenio]]''. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Double Falsehood (short story)|Double Falsehood]]'')


{{quote| "At the conclusion of the first day's exercise, you will know the degree of exercise allowable and when you know the amount of nourishment the person can bear, do not make any change in either on the second day. Arrange that the measure of aliment, and the amount of exercise shall not exceed that limit ascertained on the first day." {{harv|Avicenna|1999|p=385}}}}
[[File:WhatIDid.jpg|thumb|The Doctor communicates with Sally Sparrow via videotape. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[What I Did on My Christmas Holidays by Sally Sparrow (short story)|What I Did on My Christmas Holidays by Sally Sparrow]]'')]]
The Doctor was left stranded in [[1985]] [[Devon]] when the TARDIS jumped forwards in time to [[2005]], but Sally Sparrow's homework told him where to leave messages for her so she could read them in the future. One of these messages included telling her to find a [[VHS cassette|video tape]], where he recorded a message and spoke with Sally from 2005, explaining where the TARDIS was. The TARDIS arrived and Sally exited, telling the past Sally to use the TARDIS' [[reset button]] to return the TARDIS to the Doctor. The Doctor then reminded the past Sally to complete her homework. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[What I Did on My Christmas Holidays by Sally Sparrow (short story)|What I Did on My Christmas Holidays by Sally Sparrow]]'')


On the side note those who think themselves to be elderly, and thus think of shunning exercise, Ibn Sina write a complete chapter titled "Concerning the Elderly" in the Qanun, and states the same regimen for them, as he does for others. He states on page 433
Still on his own, the Doctor picked up a distress call from the ''[[Godspeed]]'' and joined forces with the ship's captain, [[Locklear]], to stop energy-consuming [[space barnacle]]s from killing the crew. He summoned them to his TARDIS by flashing its rooftop light, and, with the barnacles surrounding the exterior, transported them to a nearby asteroid belt so they could feed off the sun. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Hungry Night (short story)|The Hungry Night]]'')


{{quote| "For if, towards the end of life, the body is still equable, it will be right to allow attempered exercises. If one part of the body should not be in a first-rate condition, then that part should not be exercised until the others have been exercised..... On the other hand, if the ailment were in the feet, then the exercise should employ the upper limbs: for instance, rowing, throwing weights, lifting weights." {{harv|Avicenna|1999|p=433}}}}
Posing as a woodcutter, the Doctor saved a little girl named [[Rose (Little Rose Riding Hood)|Rose]] and [[Rose's grandmother|her grandmother]] from a [[Zygon]]. He explained what happened to Rose and her grandmother over tea, before excusing himself to the TARDIS. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Little Rose Riding Hood (short story)|Little Rose Riding Hood]]'')


'''Bathing in Cold Water'''
The Doctor arrived at a circus in post-[[American Civil War|Civil War]] [[Nebraska]] and, learning of [[Cyberman (The Patchwork Pierrot)|a mysterious figure]] that followed the circus and led to people's disappearances, he resolved to gather more information. He eventually identified the figure as a [[Cyberman]] that had fallen through a space-time breach and had been replacing its decaying flesh in the absence of technology to replace its corroding machinery, leaving it more human as a result. After the Doctor used [[the Doctor's sonic screwdriver|his sonic screwdriver]] to disable the Cyberman's emotional inhibitor, the Doctor returned to find the Cyberman but discovered that it had left without a trace. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Patchwork Pierrot (short story)|The Patchwork Pierrot]]'')


Once you have finished exercising; it is often that the person will feel tired and fatigued; to combat this problem Ibn Sina says on page 388:
When the [[Fourth Doctor]] used his [[TARDIS tuner]] to begin a [[temporal meta-collision]] with his other incarnations, the Ninth Doctor learnt that Earth was under threat from a [[Pandimensional entity (Doctors Assemble!)|pandimensional entity]] that had trapped his fourth incarnation in his TARDIS. While the Ninth Doctor argued with his other incarnations, the [[War Doctor]] used encoded messages from the [[Sixth Doctor]] to stop the invasion before it began, and the Sixth Doctor installed a way to expel the entity from the Fourth Doctor's TARDIS. With the crisis over, the Ninth Doctor went off for some [[chips]]. ([[WC]]: ''[[Doctors Assemble! (webcast)|Doctors Assemble!]]'')


{{quote| "The beneficial Effects of Baths: The benefits are (1) induction of sleep (2) dilation of pores (3) cleansing of skin (4) dispersal of the undesirable waste matters (5) maturation of abscesses (6) drawing of nutriment towards the surface of the body (7) assistance to the physiological dispersion and excretion of poisonous matters (8) prevention of diarrhea and (9) removal of fatigue effects." {{harv|Avicenna|1999|p=388}}}}
=== Defeating the Nestene Consciousness ===
[[File:Ninth Doctor speaks to Nestene Consciousness.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor demands an audience with the Nestene Consciousness. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}})]]
After adventuring alone for several weeks, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rose (novelisation)|Rose]]'') the Doctor ran into Rose again when he saved her from a [[Mickey Smith (Auton)|plastic duplicate]] of her boyfriend [[Mickey Smith]] at [[Restaurant (Rose)|a restaurant]]. He took Rose to the TARDIS and used the Auton's head to trace the control signal of the Nestene Consciousness, discovering it and the original Mickey in a base beneath the [[London Eye]]. The Doctor asked the Consciousness to leave [[Earth]] and find another planet to feed off, but it refused and ordered two Autons to take the Doctor prisoner, leaving Rose to defeat the Consciousness and save the Doctor's life. Taking Rose and Mickey in the TARDIS to safety, the Doctor asked Rose to travel with him without her boyfriend, but she turned him down and he departed, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}) being alerted to the presence of a [[Starman (The Beast of Babylon)|Starman]] by the TARDIS. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Beast of Babylon (short story)|The Beast of Babylon]]'')


Most importantly you should remember:
=== Tracking the Starman ===
The Doctor chased the Starman to [[Karkinos]] where he knocked it into the [[twenty-sixth dimension]], but the ripples spreading out the time stream created a far worse Starman that was also linked to the Doctor's time stream. Tracking down its presence to [[Ali (The Beast of Babylon)|Ali]], the Doctor let her tag along with him to 2000 BC [[Babylon]] to defeat the Starman, but the Doctor was taken to be executed before [[King]] [[Hammurabi]] and was saved by Ali and the arrival of the Starman, which was later destroyed. As he dropped her off home, Ali persuaded the Doctor to return to Rose Tyler and get her to join him. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Beast of Babylon (short story)|The Beast of Babylon]]'')


{{quote| "A person should not go into the bath immediately after exercise. He should rest properly first." {{harv|Avicenna|1999|p=387}}}}
=== Early adventures with Rose ===
[[File:Ninth Doctor mourns Time War The End of the World.jpg|thumb|The Doctor tells Rose that he's the last of the Time Lords. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}})]]
The Doctor rematerialised by Rose and Mickey, a few seconds later from their perspective, and told Rose that the TARDIS was capable of travelling in time, before slipping his head back in. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}) Watching from behind the TARDIS doors, the Doctor saw Rose give Mickey a farewell [[kiss]], before running to join the Doctor in the TARDIS. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}; [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Beast of Babylon (short story)|The Beast of Babylon]]'')


There are two more things that are important to mention on this subject:
For Rose's first trip, the Doctor took her to [[Platform One]] in the year [[5000000000]] to observe the [[Earth]]'s destruction by the sun. While there, the Doctor befriended [[Jabe]], a representative of the [[Forest of Cheem]], after she learned that he was the only surviving Time Lord. Jabe consoled him and felt sorry for his loss, causing the Doctor to shed a tear out of thankfulness at her sympathy. The Doctor saved the other sightseers from Lady [[Cassandra O'Brien.Δ17]]'s plot to burn them alive for insurance money, at the cost of Jabe's life. He let Cassandra's frame of skin dry out and explode as punishment when he foiled her plan, ignoring her cries for help, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}) though Cassandra's brain survived. ([[TV]]: {{cs|New Earth (TV story)}}) Making a brief stop back to London in 2005, he told Rose of the Last Great Time War, and how he was the last of the Time Lords. They then went to get [[chips]] ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}) and were spotted by [[dalek (Rose sighting confirmed)|dalek]], who later reported the sighting to [[Who is Doctor Who?]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rose sighting confirmed (short story)|Rose sighting confirmed]]'')


{{quote| "Injurious effects include the fact that the heart is weakened if the person stays too long in the bath" {{harv|Avicenna|1999|p=388}}}}
At [[Christmas]] in [[1869]] [[Cardiff]], the Doctor and Rose found a [[Peace (The Unquiet Dead)|deceased woman]] possessed by a [[Gelth]], a creature turned to gas by the Time War. When Rose was kidnapped by [[Sneed and Company]] funeral parlour, the Doctor worked with [[Charles Dickens]] to find her, following [[Gabriel Sneed]] and [[Gwyneth (The Unquiet Dead)|Gwyneth]] to where other "[[zombie]]s" had also been animated by the Gelth.


{{quote| "Cold Bathing should not be done after exercise except in the case of the very robust. Even then the rules which we have given should be followed. To use cold baths in the ways we have named drives the natural heat suddenly into the interior parts, and then invigorates the strength so that the person should leave the bath twice as strong as when he entered." {{harv|Avicenna|1999|p=390}}}}
[[File:Clara with the Ninth Doctor and Mr Sneed.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor with [[Gabriel Sneed|Mr Sneed]] and a [[Clara Oswald's splinters|splinter]] of [[Clara Oswald]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Mickey's Blog (short story)|page=170}})]]
In Sneed's morgue, the Doctor had Gwyneth try and pull the Gelth through [[Cardiff Space-Time Rift|the Rift]] using her psychic connection to it. The Gelth, numbering in the billions rather than just the few they claimed, wished to wipe out humanity and take over their bodies, starting with the dead bodies in Sneed and Company. The Doctor, Rose and Dickens escaped from the Gelth by filling the room with gas, sucking out the Gelth from the cadavers. Gwyneth, who had already died from contacting the Gelth, blew the house up with a match, trapping them and saving the world. Before going off in the TARDIS, the Doctor said goodbye to Dickens, telling him that his work would be remembered forever, which made Dickens a happier person. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}}) Rose and the Doctor were seen in the [[background]] of a photograph taken of Dickens, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Doctor Was Involved in the Dummy Massacre (short story)|writer=Unknown}}, {{cs|Rose sighting confirmed (short story)}}) although according to another account, the photograph was of just the Doctor and Rose. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Mickey's Blog (short story)|page=170}})


'''Diet'''
With Rose by his side, the Doctor was forced to park an alien spaceship in front of [[Nelson's Column]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Love Invasion (comic story)|The Love Invasion]]'') and took Rose to the [[Glass Pyramid of San Kaloon]] and [[Woman Wept]], where they walked at midnight under frozen waves one hundred feet high. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}})


Once Ibn Sina has laid the foundation of exercise being central to health, he names many exercises as running, swimming, weight lifting, polo, fencing, boxing, wrestling, long jumping, high jumping, etc. He also gives a diet to go along with the exercise:
While the Doctor and Rose were investigating a [[time puncture]] in [[2005]] [[Toronto]], they became embroiled in a [[Causubus]] plot to feed off the [[time energy]] of [[Count]] [[Nikolai Artem Livosich]] when their investigation led them to [[1812]] [[St Petersburg]]. The Doctor was able to placate the Causbus by giving them a [[time ribbon]] filled with his temporal energy, and then used the TARDIS to "plug" the time puncture. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rose and the Snow Window (short story)|Rose and the Snow Window]]'')


{{quote|"The meal should include: (1) meat especially kid of goats; veal, and year-old lambs [this means white meat in today`s terms] (2) wheat, which is cleaned of extraneous matter and gathered during a healthy harvest without ever being exposed to injurious influences (3) sweets (fruits) of appropriate temperament." {{harv|Avicenna|1999|p=390}}}}
=== Return to the Powell Estate ===
[[File:Ninth Doctor experiences history Aliens of London.jpg|thumb|The Doctor watches history unfold. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}})]]
The Doctor tried to take Rose home the night after she left with him, but arrived a year later by mistake. To his surprise, [[Slitheen craft (Aliens of London)|a spaceship]] [[London UFO crash|crashed into]] the [[Thames]] and alerted the world to the presence of aliens. Leaving Rose to her "domestics", the Doctor went to [[Albion Hospital]] to take a look at the spaceship pilot. After [[UNIT United Kingdom|UNIT]] soldiers shot the awakened "[[alien (Aliens of London)|alien]]", the Doctor and Dr [[Toshiko Sato|Sato]] discovered the pig had been sent up to space from Earth in the spaceship by other aliens and that the crash had been set up to put the world on red alert.


Lastly, the third thing mentioned is sleep; to make sure that you do not sleep during the days, and do not stay awake during the nights. From the above reading, it is clear that Ibn Sina gave advice in his book which is still the same advice medical doctors give to their patients. Daily Physical Exercise; and to defeat diseases such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, the prescription of a diet which contains high amounts of Whole Grains and little to no amounts of Refined Carbohydrates.
After returning to the Powell Estate, the Doctor planned to go undercover to unmask the aliens within the government, but Rose's mother, [[Jackie Tyler|Jackie]], alerted UNIT to the Doctor's involvement and they escorted him and Rose to [[10 Downing Street]] to help deal with the state of emergency. When the Doctor came to discuss the crisis, Rose was left in the care of MP [[Harriet Jones]] and the assembled alien experts in the room were electrocuted by the [[Slitheen]]s. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}) Being a Time Lord, the Doctor held off the electrocution and transferred it to one of the Slitheen whilst all the other experts died.

The Slitheen framed the Doctor for their murders and ordered the troops to kill him. Escaping in the lift, the Doctor saved Rose and Harriet from [[Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}) After they barely avoided the [[Twelfth Doctor]], ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|A Stitch in Time (CC comic story)}}) Harriet led the Doctor and Rose to the [[Cabinet Room]], and the Doctor shut them behind a steel barrier, saving them from the Slitheen, but also trapping them inside. To stop the Slitheen instigating a war, the Doctor contacted Mickey, and had him launch the [[Harpoon missile]], [[UGM-84A]], at Downing Street from the [[HMS Taurean|HMS ''Taurean'']]. Rose found a small, sturdy cupboard inside the Cabinet Room, and, while the Slitheen were destroyed by the missile, the Doctor, Rose and Harriet hid in the room whilst 10 Downing Street was ripped apart and reduced to a pile of rubble. After instigating Harriet's reign as Prime Minister, the Doctor invited Mickey to join him and Rose on their travels, but Mickey declined, unable to handle the dangerous life led by the Doctor. Before leaving, the Doctor entrusted Mickey with [[Computer virus (World War Three)|a computer virus]] to erase himself off the Internet, ([[TV]]: {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}) but Mickey couldn't being himself to use it.

===Unani medicine===
The Doctor and Rose travelled to the site of Rose's estate before it was built in [[1966]] London. They discovered someone had been changing history, and a housing development called [[Brandon Mews]] had been built on the estate's future, even though there should have been nothing there except fields. The Doctor went to a pub to check ''[[The Daily Mirror]]'' for any other alterations to history, and discovered the [[football]] score in the [[1966 World Cup|World Cup]] had [[England]] scoring an extra goal against [[West Germany]].
{{Main|Unani medicine}}
Though the threads which comprise [[Unani]] healing can be traced all the way back to [[Galen|Galen of Pergamon]], who lived in the 2nd century AD, the basic knowledge of Unani medicine as a healing system was developed by Hakim Ibn Sina in his medical encyclopedia ''The Canon of Medicine''. The time of origin is thus dated at ''circa'' 1025 AD, when Avicenna wrote ''The Canon of Medicine'' in [[Persian Empire|Persia]], which remains a text book in the syllabus of Unani medicine in the colleges of India<ref>Indian Studies on Ibn Sina’s Works by [[Hakim Syed Zillur Rahman]], Avicenna (Scientific and Practical International Journal of Ibn Sino International Foundation, Tashkent/Uzbekistan. 1-2; 2003: 40-42</ref> and Pakistan.


==''The Book of Healing''==
While the Doctor learnt from [[Charlotte Cobb]] that her husband, [[Peter Cobb]], had mysteriously died after being followed by Lend-a-Hand girls, Rose went to [[Lend-a-Hand House]] and found that humans were also being converted into Lend-a-Hand girls. Travelling to Lend-a-Hand House, the Doctor discovered the [[Kustollon]] [[Igrix]] had travelled back in time, and planned to use Lend-a-Hand girls, initially made up of female humans, but later including biotechnology grown from Kustollon genestuff, to alter history so that humanity would be given whatever they desire and never venture out into space, and consequently never win a battle between Earth and [[Kustollia]] in [[3046]]. Igrix' first major step was to destroy [[the Moon]] in 1966, preventing any staging post from which to break out into space. With the help of Peter's work on [[DNA]] resequencing, the Doctor created a virus containing genetic instructions from Rose in the form of perfume, which Rose threw at the Lend-a-Hand girls, making them humans with human instructions.

===Earth sciences===
The Doctor and Rose climbed to the top of the [[Post Office Tower]] to stop Igrix using his spaceship to fire at the Moon. The Doctor did this by spraying the human virus at his biotech ship. The ship refused to take orders from Igrix and flew into space to explore and spend some "quality time" with Igrix. Setting history back on course, the Doctor used his sonic screwdriver to destroy the housing development, and make them start over and build Rose's future home.

Ibn Sīnā wrote on [[Earth science]]s such as [[geology]] in ''The Book of Healing''.<ref name=Goodfield>[[Stephen Toulmin]] and [[June Goodfield]] (1965), ''The Ancestry of Science: The Discovery of Time'', p. 64, [[University of Chicago Press]] ([[cf.]] [http://muslimheritage.com/topics/default.cfm?ArticleID=319 The Contribution of Ibn Sina to the development of Earth sciences])</ref> While discussing the formation of [[mountain]]s, he explained:


{{quote|Either they are the effects of upheavals of the crust of the earth, such as might occur during a violent earthquake, or they are the effect of water, which, cutting itself a new route, has denuded the valleys, the strata being of different kinds, some soft, some hard...

[[File:Nine the Football Referee.jpg|thumb|The Doctor referees a football game between opposing WWI soldiers on Christmas ceasefire. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Forgotten (comic story)|The Forgotten]]'')]]
The Doctor and Rose visited the Christmas truce of [[World War I]], where the Doctor got the [[German]] and the [[British]] armies to play [[football]] on [[Christmas]] by using his psychic paper to pose as a FIFA referee, leading to a day of peace before they were forced to continue fighting. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Forgotten (comic story)|The Forgotten]]'')


===Philosophy of science===
The Doctor and Rose next journeyed to [[Justicia]] in [[2501]], where they encountered the [[Blathereen]], cousins of the Slitheen family, who were plotting to use the planet's sun to reduce other worlds to cinders to use as fuel. However, the Doctor managed to stop them with the remnants of the Slitheen family, whom he was unable to stop from stealing their rival's technology. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Monsters Inside (novel)|The Monsters Inside]]'')


In the ''Al-Burhan'' (''On Demonstration'') section of ''The Book of Healing'', Avicenna discussed the [[philosophy of science]] and described an early [[scientific method]] of [[inquiry]]. He discusses [[Aristotle]]'s ''[[Posterior Analytics]]'' and significantly diverged from it on several points. Avicenna discussed the issue of a proper methodology for scientific inquiry and the question of "How does one acquire the first principles of a science?" He asked how a scientist would arrive at "the initial [[axiom]]s or [[hypothesis|hypotheses]] of a [[deductive reasoning|deductive]] science without inferring them from some more basic premises?" He explains that the ideal situation is when one grasps that a "relation holds between the terms, which would allow for absolute, universal certainty." Avicenna then adds two further methods for arriving at the [[first principle]]s: the ancient [[Aristotelianism|Aristotelian]] method of [[inductive reasoning|induction]] (''istiqra''), and the method of [[examination]] and [[experiment]]ation (''tajriba''). Avicenna criticized Aristotelian induction, arguing that "it does not lead to the absolute, universal, and certain premises that it purports to provide." In its place, he develops a "method of experimentation as a means for scientific inquiry."<ref>{{Cite journal|last=McGinnis|first=Jon|title=Scientific Methodologies in Medieval Islam|journal=Journal of the History of Philosophy|volume=41|issue=3|date=July 2003|pages=307–327|doi=10.1353/hph.2003.0033}}</ref>
The Doctor discovered an [[Spaceship (Doctor vs Doctor)|alien spaceship]] was trapped between real [[space]] and the [[Time Vortex]], and investigating further led him and Rose to the house of Lord [[Farthingale]] in [[1920]]. There, the Doctor overheard a detective, Dr. [[Merrivale Carr]], had identified the murderer of two people in the house as the society hostess, [[Glenda Neil]]. The Doctor and Rose entered the room, explaining to the houseguests that "[[invisible alien]]s" were the real cause of death. A haze appeared in the house and another guest, [[Bart Faversham]], was suddenly thrown into the fireplace.


===Physics===
After the guests reached safety, Rose explained that the trapped spaceship's engines were releasing an energy field that had been killing people in an attempt to move. The Doctor signalled the spaceship with the [[standard galactic code]] of the [[455th century]]. As they were [[Teleportation|teleported]] on board, the Doctor and Rose discovered the ship's crew had died in the crash and the ship's computer had been moving on its own through an emergency program. The Doctor repaired the ship and he and Rose returned to the TARDIS on Earth. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor vs Doctor (short story)|Doctor vs Doctor]]'')


In [[mechanics]], Ibn Sīnā, in ''The Book of Healing'', developed an elaborate theory of [[motion (physics)|motion]], in which he made a distinction between the inclination (tendency to motion) and [[force]] of a [[projectile]], and concluded that motion was a result of an inclination (''mayl'') transferred to the projectile by the thrower, and that [[projectile motion]] in a vacuum would not cease.<ref name=Espinoza>Fernando Espinoza (2005). "An analysis of the historical development of ideas about motion and its implications for teaching", ''Physics Education'' '''40''' (2), p. 141.</ref> He viewed inclination as a permanent force whose effect is dissipated by external forces such as [[air resistance]].<ref>A. Sayili (1987), "Ibn Sīnā and Buridan on the Motion of the Projectile", ''Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences'' '''500''' (1), p. 477 – 482:
Soon after, the Doctor was asked to be a representative for an [[Planet (The Masks of Makassar)|alien planet]], but discovered the planet's "spokesperson", [[Akimus Makassar]], was planning to take over the other visiting representatives' minds. The Doctor placed himself and Rose in a dreamscape to save them from Makassar and his army of [[Unit (species)|Units]]. Escaping from the Units, the Doctor created a psychic projection of himself, which stole a Unit's mask and placed it over Makassar, trapping him in mental feedback. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Masks of Makassar (short story)|The Masks of Makassar]]'')


{{quote|It was a permanent force whose effect got dissipated only as a result of external agents such as air resistance. He is apparently the first to conceive such a permanent type of impressed virtue for non-natural motion.}}</ref>
The Doctor and Rose travelled to a [[Vandosian ship]], saving [[Phil Tyson]] from [[Death sentence|execution]] by the [[Vandos Tribunal]]. While attempting to return Phil to Earth, the Doctor was told he was a [[reincarnation]] of [[Shogalath]], whom the [[Vandosian]]s claimed was a monster for toppling the [[Vandos Imperium]]. While escaping, Phil saved the Doctor and Rose from the [[Bailiff (species)|Bailiffs]] and made it to the TARDIS. The Tribunal threatened to destroy [[Great Britain]] if Phil wasn't handed over to them. They fired, but due to the Doctor's earlier efforts, the ship backfired on itself. Returning Phil home, the Doctor explained that Shogalath was, in fact, the leader of a peaceful revolt against the Imperium. Phil departed their company with a new lease on life, seeking to make a good future for himself. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Mr Nobody (comic story)|Mr Nobody]]'')


The theory of motion developed by Avicenna may have influenced Jean Buridan's theory of [[impetus]] (the ancestor of the [[inertia]] and [[momentum]] concepts).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/buridan/notes.html#48 |title=Buridan |publisher=Plato.stanford.edu |date=2011-08-25 |accessdate=2012-01-07}}</ref>
On a [[Planet (Pitter-Patter)|human colony planet]], the Doctor and Rose were attacked by [[Rain (Pitter-Patter)|the rain]], but [[Jack (Pitter-Patter)|Jack]] and [[Susie (Pitter-Patter)|Susie]] saved their life by bringing them into their shelter. The Doctor discovered the rain was a living creature with the ability to easily cleave through human flesh as it fell to the ground and it was killing off colonists in their downpour because the life form was being killed. He went outside, and persuaded the rain to stop, saving a family of colonists. With the family the last humans left of the devastated colony, the Doctor guided them home in their spaceship, and he also inspired their son, [[Andy (Pitter-Patter)|Andy]], to become a space traveller. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Pitter-Patter (short story)|Pitter-Patter]]'')


In [[optics]], Ibn Sina was among those who argued that light had a speed, observing that "if the perception of [[light]] is due to the emission of some sort of [[Subatomic particle|particles]] by a luminous source, the speed of light must be finite.".<ref>[[George Sarton]], ''Introduction to the History of Science'', Vol. 1, p. 710.</ref> He also provided a wrong explanation of the [[rainbow]] phenomenon. [[Carl Benjamin Boyer]] described Avicenna's ("Ibn Sīnā") theory on the rainbow as follows:
The Doctor took Rose to see the ''[[Mona Lisa]]'' at the grand opening of the [[Oriel]], a transdimensional [[art gallery]] in the [[37th century]], only for the Doctor to find that all the [[humanoid]]s in the gallery, including Rose, had been enslaved by an artist called [[Cazkelf]]. Cazkelf used the psychic energy of the visitors to send a [[distress signal]] to his people so he could return home, but the Doctor freed Rose and set up a [[feedback loop]], returning the stolen psychic energy to its owners. The signal was still successfully sent, but Cazkelf's people did not arrive at the Oriel. The Doctor took Cazkelf to his homeworld, which had been devastated by a disaster. Afterwards, Cazkelf returned to Earth. Expecting to face consequences, the materialisation of the TARDIS before the visitors made them believe this was all part of a performance art piece. The Doctor advised Cazkelf to "delight and amaze" them. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Art Attack (comic story)|Art Attack]]'')

Ibn Sīnā would change the place not only of the bow, but also of the color formation, holding the iridescence to be merely a subjective sensation in the eye.|<ref>Carl Benjamin Boyer (1954)."Robert Grosseteste on the Rainbow", ''Osiris'' '''11''', p. 247-258 [248].</ref>}}
The Doctor and Rose met [[Emily Brontë]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Window on the Moor (audio story)|The Window on the Moor]]'')


In 1253, a [[Latin]] text entitled ''Speculum Tripartitum'' stated the following regarding Avicenna's theory on [[heat]]:
The Doctor took Rose on a cruise on [[22nd century]] [[Mars]], where the two were stowaways on the cruise ship holding a private wedding party of 143-year-old plutocrat [[Alvar Chambers]]. When Alvar ordered the Doctor to be thrown into the Martian sea, the Doctor's body was taken over by a body-stealing [[Sea (The Cruel Sea)|entity]] that ate people by feeding on their worst fears, putting them into a state where their identities would dissolve within it while they were dreaming. The entity tormented Rose with a nightmare of the Doctor coming back too late in Rose's life for her to be a companion and then sending it spiralling into ruins to spite her. Rose saw through the illusion and found the real Doctor trapped within the entity, tasking her with freeing its surviving victims while the Doctor dealt with the actual creature. As the creature required a stable image refracted in the air to sustain itself, the Doctor used the artificial air inside the cruise ship's air bubble to create a "tornado". ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Cruel Sea (comic story)|The Cruel Sea]]'')

=== Temporary association with Adam ===
[[File:Why won't you just die.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor confronts the [[Metaltron]] [[Bronze Dalek|Dalek]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Dalek (TV story)}})]]
Tracking a distress signal, the Doctor went to [[the Vault (Dalek)|the Vault]] in [[2012]] [[Utah]], where he found the [[Metaltron]], a lone [[Bronze Dalek|Dalek]] [[Dalek drone|drone]] who'd survived the Time War and was being kept, amongst other alien artefacts, by [[Henry van Statten]]. Blaming the [[Dalek Empire]] for his suffering in the Time War and Gallifrey's "destruction", the Doctor took pleasure in torturing the Metaltron, even as it begged for pity. The Metaltron escaped by extrapolating Time Vortex radiation from Rose's DNA and, with no orders, chose to destroy everyone in sight. With the Vault staff slaughtered, the Doctor prepared to kill the Metaltron when it dropped its defences, but Rose stood in his way and showed him he was becoming the same as the [[Dalek|Daleks]]. To the Doctor's shock, the Metaltron committed suicide due to its personality change making it deem itself an abomination.


===Psychology===
Before departing, Rose asked the Doctor to invite [[Adam Mitchell]], one of Van Statten's young employees who she had befriended, into the TARDIS as he had nowhere else to go. The Doctor left the TARDIS doors unlocked for Adam to wander inside as it dematerialised, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Dalek (TV story)}}) though his initial plan was to return Adam home. However, the TARDIS was knocked off course by a [[temporal tsunami]] and they arrived in [[Birmingham]] [[2012]] instead.


Avicenna's legacy in classical [[psychology]] is primarily embodied in the ''Kitab al-nafs'' parts of his ''Kitab al-shifa''' (''The Book of Healing'') and ''Kitab al-najat'' (''The Book of Deliverance''). These were known in Latin under the title ''De Anima'' (treatises "on the soul"). The main thesis of these tracts is represented in his so-called "flying man" argument, which resonates with what was centuries later entailed by [[Descartes]]'s ''cogito'' argument (or what [[phenomenology (philosophy)|phenomenology]] designates as a form of an "''epoche''").<ref name="Nader El-Bizri 2000 pp. 149-171">[[Nader El-Bizri]], ''The Phenomenological Quest between Avicenna and Heidegger'' (Binghamton, N.Y.: Global Publications SUNY, 2000), pp. 149-171.</ref><ref name="elbizri67-89">Nader El-Bizri, "Avicenna's De Anima between Aristotle and Husserl," in ''The Passions of the Soul in the Metamorphosis of Becoming'', ed. Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka (Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2003), pp. 67-89.</ref>
The Doctor was then forced to wait for twenty-eight years after being displaced to [[1894]] to catch up with Rose, who was herself sent to [[1922]]. The Doctor ultimately discovered that the anomalies were the work of the [[Bygone Horde]], a collection of echoes of races erased by the Time War who attempted to return to reality at the expense of the human race. Impressed by Adam's assistance in thwarting the Bygone Horde, the Doctor decided to take him on as a companion, setting a course for the [[far future]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Other Side (audio story)|The Other Side]]'')


Avicenna’s psychology requires that connection between the body and soul be strong enough to ensure the soul’s individuation, but weak enough to allow for its immortality.  Avicenna grounds his psychology on physiology, which means his account of the soul is one that deals almost entirely with the natural science of the body and its abilities of perception.  Thus, the philosopher's connection between the soul and body is explained almost entirely by his understanding of perception; in this way, bodily perception interrelates with the immaterial human intellect.  In sense perception, the perceiver senses the form of the object; first, by perceiving features of the object by our external senses.  This sensory information is supplied to the internal senses, which merge all the pieces into a whole, unified conscious experience. This process of perception and abstraction is the nexus of the soul and body, for the material body may only perceive material objects, while the immaterial soul may only receive the immaterial, universal forms.  The way the soul and body interact in the final abstraction of the universal from the concrete particular is the key to their relationship and interaction, which takes place in the physical body.<ref>{{cite book | last1 = Avicenna | title = Avicenna's Psychology.

For Adam's first real trip, the Doctor took his two companions to the [[Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire]] to see the human race at its zenith. Pretending to be management on the news broadcaster, [[Satellite Five]], the Doctor and his companions found the Empire had been manipulated into remaining secluded from the wider universe. Adam, suffering from severe culture shock, was left on his own.


The soul completes the action of intellection by accepting forms that have been abstracted from matter. This process requires a concrete particular (material) to be abstracted into the universal intelligible (immaterial). The material and immaterial interact through the Active Intellect, which is a “divine light” containing the intelligible forms.<ref>{{cite book | last1 = Avicenna | title = Avicenna's Psychology.

Captured by [[the Editor]], the Doctor and Rose found that the [[Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe]] had been controlling the human race from [[Satellite Five]] by manipulating information. Thanks to [[Cathica Santini Khadeni]], one of the workers who learned of the truth, the satellite's heat was rerouted, sending heat to the Jagrafess's control room, freeing the Doctor and Rose and killing the Jagrafess and the Editor. Upon learning Adam was trying to learn about the future for his own gain, the Doctor evicted him from the TARDIS and took him home, leaving him with the forehead implant he got at Satellite Five as punishment. While Adam begged for another chance, the Doctor was unsympathetic to his plight. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}})

{{section stub|Info from ''[[Identity Check (audio story)|Identity Check]]'' needs to be added}}
The [[Muslim views on astrology|practice of judicial astrology]] was refuted by Avicenna. His reasons were due to the methods used by astrologers in judicial astrology being [[conjectural]] rather than [[empirical]] and also due to the principles of this type of astrology conflicting with orthodox [[Islam]]. He also cited passages from the [[Qur'an]] in order to justify his refutation of astrology on both scientific and religious grounds.<ref>[[George Saliba]] (1994), ''A History of Arabic Astronomy: Planetary Theories During the Golden Age of Islam'', p. 60, 67-69. [[New York University Press]], ISBN 0814780237.</ref> However, Avicenna’s refutation of astrology (in the treatise titled ''Resāla fī ebṭāl aḥkām al-nojūm'') concerned only the judicial application of astrology rather than the philosophical principles of the subject and its natural influence. He stated that it was true that each planet had some influence on the earth, but his argument was the difficulty of astrologers being able to determine the exact effect of it. In essence, Avicenna did not refute astrology, but denied man’s limited capacity to be able to know the precise effects of the stars on the sublunar matter. With that, he did not refute the essential dogma of astrology, but only refuted our ability to fully understand it.<ref>[[George Saliba]], ''Avicenna'': 'viii. Mathematics and Physical Sciences'.

[[File:Ninth Doctor speaks to Stuart and Sarah.jpg|thumb|The Doctor is amazed by the sort of ordinary life that brought [[Stuart Hoskins|Stuart]] and [[Sarah Clark|Sarah]] together. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Father's Day (TV story)}})]]
At Rose's request, the Doctor took her to her parents' wedding, after which she told him about her deceased father, [[Pete Tyler]], and her desire to be with him as he died. The Doctor took her to the church where [[Stuart Hoskins]] and [[Sarah Clark]] were to be wed on [[7 November]], [[1987]], not far from where Pete died. After finding herself paralysed the first time, Rose crossed the path of her past self on her second attempt and saved Pete from a hit-and-run death. Rose's [[Alternate timeline (Father's Day)|actions]] caused the TARDIS to be thrown off into the Time Vortex. Enraged by her actions, the Doctor suspected that she had only agreed to travel with him to save Pete and considered abandoning her in the past, though Rose insisted she had not planned it and the Doctor didn't go through with leaving Rose.


In [[Astronomy in medieval Islam|astronomy]], he criticized [[Aristotle]]'s view of the [[star]]s receiving their light from the [[Sun]].

The Doctor, telling Rose and the wedding guests to rush inside the church, tried devising a way of stopping the [[Reaper]]s that were attacking the Earth to seal off the paradox Rose had created. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Father's Day (TV story)}}) Unbeknownst to him, someone was recording a wedding video. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Essay Competition (short story)}}) He started working on a way to repair the damage to the universe while leaving Pete alive for Rose. He used his TARDIS key, which was still linked to the TARDIS' interior, to bring the TARDIS back. However, after Pete accidentally made Rose hold her infant self, the Doctor sacrificed himself to the Reaper brought by the paradox and the creature was zapped by the key, killing it, but also interrupting the TARDIS' return. The Doctor was restored to life when Pete let himself get hit by the car, and Rose managed to be there for her father when he passed. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Father's Day (TV story)}})


Soon after, he wrote the ''Compendium of the Almagest'', a commentary on [[Ptolemy]]'s ''[[Almagest]]''.

Taking a break, the Doctor took Rose to a cafe in [[Paris]], [[France]] in the year [[1923]]. As they ate their food, the Doctor entertained Rose by playing with the salt and pepper shakers at their table. Three of his future incarnations watched him. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Four Doctors (comic story)|Four Doctors]]'') Taking Rose home once again, the Doctor saved the [[Powell Estate]] from [[Zargath]] and his invasion force by making it rain with the sonic screwdriver after Rose realised that Zargath's militia was allergic to water.

The TARDIS was forced down to London because of the presence of two [[Shadey]]s from another dimension, who had brought [[Robert Greene]], a rival playwright of [[William Shakespeare]]'s, four hundred years into the future. After realising that Shakespeare was remembered in the future while Greene was not, Greene used the powers granted to him by the Shadeys, powered by his "negative energy", to spread rot across London. When the Shadeys discovered the Doctor's presence, they decided to toy with the Doctor by meddling with time and have Greene kill Shakespeare in [[1592]].

*''Avicennae de congelatione et conglutinatione lapidum''
*''Avicennae ad Hasan Regem epistola de Re recta''


In one of these works, Ibn Sīnā discredited the theory of the [[Philosopher's stone|transmutation of substances]] commonly believed by [[alchemy|alchemists]]:
Going back in time to protect him, the Doctor briefly took over Shakespeare's position on stage in the role of [[Richard III of England|Richard III]] in [[Richard III (play)|the play of the same name]]. In return for relinquishing the power of the Shadeys and saving the world, the Doctor and Rose promised to remember Greene, and Green banished the Shadeys, returning to his deathbed where he was dying of plague.

The [[Breeble]]s wanted revenge on the Doctor after a previous run-in with him. Their plan involved abducting Rose and creating [[Robot Rose|a robotic replica]]. The Doctor was put in a tough position when she escaped her captivity and he had the task of figuring out which of the two Roses were his human companion. He solves it by asking them both to recount their adventures together. As the robot's accounts were inaccurate, he deactivated it with his sonic screwdriver. ([[GAME]]: ''[[Robot Rose (game)|Robot Rose]]'')


Among his works on alchemy, ''Liber Aboali Abincine de Anima in arte Alchemiae'' was the most influential, having influenced later [[medieval]] chemists and alchemists such as [[Vincent of Beauvais]].<ref name=Anawati/>
The Ninth 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.

([[TV]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (TV story)}})


In another work, translated into Latin as ''De congelatione et conglutinatione lapidum'', Ibn Sina proposed a four-part classification of inorganic bodies, which was a significant improvement over the two-part classification of [[Aristotle]] (into ''orycta'' and [[metal]]s) and three-part classification of [[Galen]] (into ''terrae'', ''lapides'' and metals). The four parts of Ibn Sina's classification were: ''lapides'', [[sulfur]], [[salt (chemistry)|salts]] and metals.<ref>{{Cite book|title=The origins of geology in Italy: [in memory of Nicoletta Morello, 1946-2006]|first1=Gian Battista|last1=Vai|first2=W.

When the Doctor and Rose visited [[Piccadilly Circus]] in [[1977]], Rose decided to tamper with history by buying the [[The Stranglers|Stranglers]] album her mother had wanted in her youth. Rose then snuck it into young Jackie's room amongst her other albums. During their next visit to the Powell Estate, Rose brought up the album and Jackie revealed she still had it, thinking it was a gift from [[Colin Bennett]]. While Rose was pleased by her actions, the Doctor pointed out how easily Colin Bennett could have married Jackie instead of Pete Tyler. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Red Bicycle (short story)|The Red Bicycle]]'') The Doctor and Rose then watched [[Elizabeth II]]'s [[coronation]] on [[2 June]] [[1953]], with the Doctor commenting that the occasion was "fantastic." ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Where's the Doctor? (comic story)|Where's the Doctor?]]'')


===Poetry===
The Doctor travelled with Rose to the [[Zaggit Zagoo bar]] on [[Zog (planet)|Zog]], where Rose mentioned that, when she was twelve, she begged her mother for a red bicycle for Christmas, but Jackie couldn't afford it. The Doctor left Rose at the bar and went back in time to buy her the bike. The Doctor bought the bicycle from [[Hildreth's]], but it was soon stolen by [[Jinko]], who wanted revenge on the Doctor for a previous defeat. The Doctor followed him back to his junkyard and used his sonic screwdriver to bring the whole place crashing down. The Doctor quickly grabbed the bicycle and left to deliver the bicycle to Rose's flat in time for Christmas morning. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Red Bicycle (short story)|The Red Bicycle]]'')

[[File:TajikistanP17-20Somoni-1999(2000)-donatedsb f.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Image of Avicenna on the [[Tajikistani somoni]]]]
As early as the 14th century when [[Dante Alighieri]] depicted him in Limbo alongside the virtuous non-Christian thinkers in his [[Divine Comedy]] such as [[Virgil]], [[Averroes]], [[Homer]], [[Horace]], [[Ovid]], [[Marcus Annaeus Lucanus|Lucan]], [[Socrates]], [[Plato]], and [[Saladin]], Avicenna has been recognized by both East and West, as one of the great figures in intellectual history.


[[George Sarton]], the author of ''The History of Science'', described Ibn Sīnā as "one of the greatest thinkers and medical scholars in history"<ref name=Zahoor/> and called him "the most famous [[Islamic science|scientist of Islam]] and one of the most famous of all races, places, and times." He was one of the [[Islamic Golden Age|Islamic world]]'s leading writers in the field of medicine, and similarly to earlier Islamic writers he followed the approach of [[Galen]] (and [[Hippocrates]] as transmitted through Galen).<ref>{{cite encyclopedia|last=|first=| authorlink=|title=Avicenna |year=1911| encyclopedia=1911 Encyclopædia Britannica|accessdate=2011-11-09|location=|publisher=|url=http://encyclopedia.jrank.org/AUD_BAI/AVICENNA.html}}</ref> Along with [[al-Razi|Rhazes]], [[Abu al-Qasim al-Zahrawi|Abulcasis]], [[Ibn al-Nafis]], and [[al-Ibadi]], Ibn Sīnā is considered an important compiler of early Muslim medicine. He is remembered in Western [[history of medicine]] as a major historical figure who made important contributions to medicine and the European [[Renaissance]]. His medical texts were unusual in that where controversy existed between Galen and Aristotle's views on medical matters (such as anatomy), he preferred to side with Aristotle, where necessary updating Aristotle's position to take into account post-Aristotle advances in anatomical knowledge.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia|last=Musallam|first=B.|authorlink=|title=Avicenna Medicine and Biology|year=2011| encyclopedia=Encyclopædia Iranica|accessdate=2011-11-09|location=|publisher=|url=http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/avicenna-x}}</ref> Aristotle's dominant intellectual influence among medieval European scholars meant that Avicenna's linking of Galen's medical writings with Aristotle's philosophical writings in the ''Canon of Medicine'' (along with its comprehensive and logical organisation of knowledge) significantly increased Avicenna's importance in medieval Europe in comparison to other Islamic writers on medicine. His influence following translation of the ''Canon'' was such that from the early fourteenth to the mid-sixteenth centuries he was ranked with Hippocrates and Galen as one of the acknowledged authorities, ''princeps medicorum'' (prince of physicians).<ref>{{cite encyclopedia|last=Weisser|first=U.|authorlink=|title=Avicenna The influence of Avicenna on medical studies in the West|year=2011| encyclopedia=Encyclopædia Iranica|accessdate=2011-11-09|location=|publisher=|url=http://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/avicenna-x}}</ref>
One night, the Doctor told Rose the story of the Tailor's son and Death. She commented that Death, when he was talking about people's deaths being fixed, sounded like him. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Knight, The Fool and The Dead (novel)|The Knight, The Fool and The Dead]]'')


In [[Iran]], he is considered a national icon, and is often regarded as one of the greatest Persians to have ever lived. Many portraits and statues remain in Iran today. An impressive monument to the life and works of the man who is known as the 'doctor of doctors' still stands outside the Bukhara museum and his portrait hangs in the Hall of the Avicenna Faculty of Medicine in the [[University of Paris]]. There is also a crater on the Moon named [[Avicenna (crater)|Avicenna]] and a plant genus ''[[Avicennia]]''. [[Bu-Ali Sina University]] in [[Hamadan]] (Iran), the ''ibn Sīnā'' Tajik State Medical University in [[Dushanbe]] (The capital of the [[Republic of Tajikistan]]), [[Ibn Sina Academy of Medieval Medicine and Sciences]] at [[Aligarh]], [[India]], [[Avicenna School]] in [[Karachi]] and [[Avicenna Medical College]] in [[Lahore]]<ref>www.amch.edu.pk</ref> [[Pakistan]], Ibne Sina Balkh Medical School in his native province of [[Balkh]] in [[Afghanistan]], Ibni Sina Faculty Of Medicine of Ankara University [[Ankara]], [[Turkey]]  and Ibn Sina Integrated School in Marawi City (Philippines) are all named in his honour.
The Doctor and Rose visited Jackie, who had become a very successful saleswoman on the Powell Estate selling [[Glubby Glub|Glubby Glubs]]: objects which helped people sleep for a full eight or nine hours. However, it turned out that the Glubby Glubs were taking energy from their users and passing it on to the seller. With Jackie's help, the Doctor stopped the corporation responsible and ended the Glubby Glub fad. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Retail Therapy (audio story)|Retail Therapy]]'')
In 1980, the former [[Soviet Union]], which then ruled his birthplace Bukhara, celebrated the thousandth anniversary of Avicenna's birth by circulating various [[commemorative stamp]]s with artistic illustrations, and by erecting a [[bust (sculpture)|bust]] of Avicenna based on [[anthropological]] research by Soviet scholars.  Near his birthplace in Qishlak Afshona, some {{convert|25|km|0|abbr=on}}. north of Bukhara, a training college for medical staff has been named for him. On the grounds is a museum dedicated to his life, times and work. {{OnGoogleEarth|39.994359N64.382253E}}


In March 2008, it was announced<ref>Educating health professionals: the Avicenna project  ''The Lancet'', Volume 371 pp 966 – 967</ref> that Avicenna’s name would be used for new Directories of education institutions for health care professionals, worldwide. The [[Avicenna Directories]] will list universities and schools where doctors, public health practitioners, pharmacists and others, are educated. The project team stated “Why Avicenna? Avicenna ... was ... noted for his synthesis of knowledge from both east and west. He has had a lasting influence on the development of medicine and health sciences. The use of Avicenna’s name symbolises the worldwide partnership that is needed for the promotion of health services of high quality.”
=== Adam's revenge ===
[[File:Mitchell, 9 and Rose.jpg|thumb|left|An older, vengeful Adam Mitchell confronts the Doctor for kicking him out of the TARDIS. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Mystery Date (comic story)|Mystery Date]]'')]]
Feeling an incoming danger, the Doctor took Rose to [[Eleanora's monument]], where they defeated the wealthiest man in the outer rim of the galaxy, [[Drake Ayelbourne]] of [[Altair VII]], after he tried to take Rose. After Ayelbourne destroyed the monument, the Doctor and Rose were confronted by a cloaked figure, who revealed himself to be Adam Mitchell, who had sworn revenge on the Doctor after his mother had died from a brain illness because he could not use future technology to save her. After explaining his motivations, Adam rendered the pair unconscious, kidnapping Rose after he kicked the Doctor in the face. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Mystery Date (comic story)|Mystery Date]]'') The Doctor eventually regained consciousness and went off to save Rose, leaving a pool of his blood behind. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Choice (comic story)|The Choice]]'')


==Works==
Following a chronal trail left by the [[Eleventh Doctor]] as the [[Tenth Doctor]] merged their TARDISes, the Ninth Doctor joined his other incarnations as they stormed Adam's fortress in [[Limbo]] to save their friends from Adam and {{Ainley}}. Adam had a change of heart when the Master attempted to destroy the eleven TARDISes by overloading them with the chronal energies he had stolen across the Doctor's timelines, which would destroy the universe as well.
The treatises of Ibn Sīnā influenced later Muslim thinkers in many areas including [[theology]], [[philology]], [[mathematics]], [[astronomy]], [[physics]], and [[music]]. Ibn Sīnā's works numbered almost 450 volumes on a wide range of subjects, of which around 240 have survived. In particular, 150 volumes of his surviving works concentrate on philosophy and 40 of them concentrate on medicine.<ref name="MacTutor Biography|id=Avicenna" /> His most famous works are ''The Book of Healing'', a vast philosophical and scientific encyclopaedia, and ''The Canon of Medicine'',<ref name="Britannica" />


Ibn Sīnā wrote at least one treatise on [[alchemy]], but several others have been falsely attributed to him. His book on animals was translated by [[Michael Scot]]. His ''Logic'', ''Metaphysics'', ''Physics'', and ''De Caelo'', are treatises giving a synoptic view of Aristotelian doctrine, though the Metaphysics demonstrates a significant departure from the brand of Neoplatonism known as Aristotelianism in Ibn Sīnā's world; Arabic philosophers have hinted at the idea that Ibn Sīnā was attempting to "re-Aristotelianise" Muslim philosophy in its entirety, unlike his predecessors, who accepted the conflation of Platonic, Aristotelian, Neo- and Middle-Platonic works transmitted into the Muslim world.
Seeing that Adam was not intending to cause this level of destruction, the Ninth Doctor told him that this was his chance to prove him wrong over his past mistakes, and Adam turned against the Master, stopping his attempt at causing a cataclysm by blowing up the console controlling the release of chronal energies, but this act left him right in the fray of the resulting explosion. He died moments after the Master fled, forgiven by the Doctors. The Ninth Doctor mourned Adam's death alongside his other incarnations and honoured him as a true companion on his memorial that they erected to remember him by. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Endgame (POT comic story)|Endgame]]'')


The ''Logic'' and ''Metaphysics'' have been extensively reprinted, the latter, e.g., at Venice in 1493, 1495, and 1546. Some of his shorter essays on medicine, logic, etc., take a poetical form (the poem on logic was published by Schmoelders in 1836).{{Citation needed|date=October 2010}} Two encyclopaedic treatises, dealing with philosophy, are often mentioned. The larger, ''[[The Book of Healing|Al-Shifa']]'' (''Sanatio''), exists nearly complete in manuscript in the [[Bodleian Library]] and elsewhere; part of it on the ''De Anima'' appeared at Pavia (1490) as the ''Liber Sextus Naturalium'', and the long account of Ibn Sina's philosophy given by [[Muhammad al-Shahrastani]] seems to be mainly an analysis, and in many places a reproduction, of the Al-Shifa'. A shorter form of the work is known as the An-najat (''Liberatio''). The Latin editions of part of these works have been modified by the corrections which the monastic editors confess that they applied. There is also a '''حكمت مشرقيه''' (''hikmat-al-mashriqqiyya'', in Latin ''Philosophia Orientalis''), mentioned by [[Roger Bacon]], the majority of which is lost in antiquity, which according to Averroes was pantheistic in tone.
=== The Kotturuh crisis ===
After the TARDIS fell through a [[Time Fracture]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Tales of the Dark Times (comic story)|Tales of the Dark Times]]'') the Doctor and Rose arrived on a shadow planetoid during the [[Eternal War]], where they were captured by [[Space Lord]] forces led by [[Rassilon]]. Upon realising he had arrived in the [[Dark Times]], the Doctor attempted to flee with Rose during an attack from the [[Cucurbite]]s, but Rose was snatched by a [[primordial class]] [[vampire]], so the Doctor instead assisted the Gallifreyan forces in neutralising the Cucurbites. Making an ally of the scientist [[Medicus Androkan|Androkan]], he and the Doctor stole Rassilon's flier to pursuit Rose, and found her on a [[coffin ship]], but were quickly captured by the [[vampire]]s, who kept the Doctor alive for information, while Androkan was killed by an acolyte of the [[Three Mad Sisters]], [[Friar Grystok]].


===List of works===
Grystock took the Doctor before the Sisters, who had turned Rose into a vampire, but she had also beaten them and then made to attack the Doctor as an attack of Gallifreyan forces enabled him to gain the upper hand and send her to sleep. Assisted by a vampire slave Rose had befriended named [[Centia]], the Doctor managed to escape the battle after convincing a leading vampire named [[Drogann]] to use the attack to gain freedom, giving him a synth-blood that enabled all the vampire slaves aboard to break their addictions and rebel against their masters. He also gave the substance to Rose, but she needed longer to recover, so the Doctor left her on a "cosy little moon" in Centia's care, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Monstrous Beauty (comic story)|Monstrous Beauty]]'') while he stayed with the [[Free Undead]] as they searched for a place to settle and he investigated the Dark Times further until his search led him and the Free Undead to [[Mordeela]].

===Persian Works===
Aboard the coffin ship, the Ninth Doctor, alongside the [[Eighth Doctor]], confronted his [[Tenth Doctor|next incarnation's]] [[Victis Fleet|mercenary fleet]]. They attempted to persuade him to stop his attack on the [[Kotturuh]], but he dismissed them as illusions and ordered his fleet to fire, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Knight, The Fool and The Dead (novel)|The Knight, The Fool and The Dead]]'') destroying Mordeela. In the ensuing [[Battle of Mordeela]], the Ninth Doctor watched as the Vampires ineffectively fired on the mercenary ships, and eventually asked [[Ikalla]] if they could "pitch in" more after the Daleks were forced back by [[Brian (The Guide to the Dark Times)|Brian]] the [[Ood]], but was horrified when the [[Bloodsmen]] she unleashed killed the fleet's crew and brought them back to feed on. While he was able to negotiate a cease fire with his other incarnations in a telepathic contact, the Ninth Doctor was unable to make his forces stand down, and the Tenth Doctor escaped in his flagship, the only surviving ship of his fleet, in the confusion.
====Danishnama-i ‘Alai====
Danishnama-i ‘Alai is called "the Book of Knowledge for [Prince] 'Ala ad-Daulah". One of Avicenna's important [[Persian language|Persian]] work is the Daaneshnaame (literally: the book of knowledge) for Prince 'Ala ad-Daulah (the local [[Buyid]] ruler). The linguist aspects of the Dāneš-nāma and the originality of their Persian vocabulary are of great interest to Iranian philologists. Avicenna created new scientific vocabulary that had not existed before in the modern Persian language. The Dāneš-nāma covers such topics as logic, metaphysics, music theory and other sciences of his time.  This book has translated to English by Parwiz Mowewedge.<ref>Avicenna, Danish Nama-i 'Alai.  trans. Parviz Morewedge as ''The Metaphysics of Avicenna'' (New York: Columbia University Pres), 1977.</ref>


====Andar Danesh-e-Rag====
In the weeks after the Battle, the Doctor continued to help the vampires search for a planet to settle on. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[All Flesh is Grass (novel)|All Flesh is Grass]]'') Accompanied by Ikalla, the Doctor visited the inhospitable planet [[Parvanna]], where he and Ikalla were hunted by an invisible creature, which the Doctor kept at bay by keeping a [[sonic stake]] alight until they were collected by their ship. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Tales of the Dark Times (comic story)|Tales of the Dark Times]]'') When the coffin ship was attacked by the Daleks, the Doctor was saved by his eighth incarnation, who had already alerted the vampires to escape, but found that he had to take the Eighth Doctor with him in his TARDIS to flee the Daleks. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[All Flesh is Grass (novel)|All Flesh is Grass]]'') Together, the two Doctors went in search of their tenth incarnation on the planet [[Hoolan]], where they discovered a malfunctioning time machine bridging the future to the Dark Times after [[Woman (Tales of the Dark Times)|its pilot]] had attempted to witness the Big Bang. They fixed her time machine and sent her back to her home time period. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Tales of the Dark Times (comic story)|Tales of the Dark Times]]'')
Andar Danesh-e-Rag is called "On the science of the pulse". This book contains nine chapters on the science of the pulse and is condensed synonpsis.


====Persian Poetry====
The Doctors eventually found their tenth incarnation on [[Entranxis]], where they interrupted his meeting with the Death Brokers to rescue Ikalla, who the Brokers had captured after the Dalek attack on the coffin ship. The Daleks and the Kotturuh then attacked Entanxis, and the Ninth Doctor helped Ikalla escape to his TARDIS to rendezvous with his other incarnations aboard the Tenth Doctor's flagship. However, angered by their lack of concern for the dying Kotturuh, he set off with Ikalla to gather information to help them, eventually arriving on [[Birinji]], where they met [[Inyit]], the last of the Kotturuh. After his other incarnations destroyed the Dalek scout ship sent to kill Inyit, the Doctor learnt that the Daleks were planning to destroy Gallifrey in the Dark Times, and helped mounted a [[defence of Gallifrey]], leaving Ikalla to look after Inyit. However, even with the Free Undead, the Doctors were unable to stop the Daleks' army of undead drones with Symbiont DNA, so prepared to collide the flagship with the saucer, in the hopes of the ensuing paradox wiping out the Daleks, but were prevented from doing so when Inyit used her final judgement to wipe out the Symbiont and the hybrids, ending the Daleks' assault as they panicked, fearing the judgement may spread to pure Dalek DNA, allowing the Eighth Doctor to sneak aboard and force the saucer into the Time Vortex. After the Tenth Doctor left the Dark Times, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[All Flesh is Grass (novel)|All Flesh is Grass]]'') the Ninth Doctor collected Rose and they left the Dark Times together. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Monstrous Beauty (comic story)|Monstrous Beauty]]'')
Persian poetry from Ibn Sina is recorded in various manuscripts and later anthologies such as [[Nozhat al-Majales]].

===The Physician===
[[File:Ninth Doctor follows Nancy The Empty Child.jpg|thumb|The Doctor follows [[Nancy (The Empty Child)|Nancy]], trying to question her about [[Jamie (The Empty Child)|the mysterious boy]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Empty Child (TV story)}})]]
In his book ''[[The Physician]]'' (1988) [[Noah Gordon (novelist)|Noah Gordon]] tells the story of a young English medical apprentice who disguises himself as a Jew to learn from Avicenna, the great master of his time.
The Doctor tracked a strange artefact to [[1941]] [[London]], where, after Rose had wandered off, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Empty Child (TV story)}}) much to his annoyance, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Companion's Lament (short story)|The Companion's Lament]]'') he discovered the TARDIS phone ringing; on the other side, there was [[Jamie (The Empty Child)|a boy]] asking for his mother. Investigating further, he followed [[Nancy (The Empty Child)|Nancy]], a [[homeless]] young woman who was feeding homeless children by stealing from people's meals that were left fresh on their tables, as they hid during air raids. She was being chased by a child in a gas mask who was terrifying her and seemed to be endangering people. Nancy told the Doctor the "bomb that wasn't a bomb" landed near [[Limehouse Green station]]. Following Nancy's advice, the Doctor went to the nearby Albion Hospital. There, he found living dead creatures, with gas masks fused to their face, and identical symptoms, including a scar on the hand in the same place as the child that pursued Nancy.


===The manuscript of Avicenna (El Manuscrito de Avicena)===
Captain [[Jack Harkness]], who had found Rose, tracked down the Doctor, thinking he and Rose were members of the [[Time Agency]], and revealed the object was a [[Chula ambulance]], which Jack himself had used to attract one of the agency as part of a con to sell half of the object right before a German bomb hit it, instead bringing the attention of the Doctor and Rose. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Empty Child (TV story)}}) Jack teleported the Doctor and Rose to his [[Chula warship|ship]], and they went to the bomb site near the hospital, where they realised the truth; [[Nanogene]]s in the ambulance had reanimated a dead boy and, due to their unfamiliarly with humans, had spread the [[Empty Child]] virus. The ambulance started its emergency protocols, calling in the creatures, who were ready to "tear the world apart" to find the boy's mother.
More recently, in 2011, the Spanish writer [[Ezequiel Teodoro]] has published a novel, [[The manuscript of Avicenna]] (El Manuscrito de Avicena), which recreates some moments in the life of the Persian physician.

Every patient and soldier at the bombsite converged on the Doctor, Rose, Nancy and Jack. The Doctor fixed the nanogenes' mistakes by comparing the DNA of the child and Nancy, who was his mother, restoring the infected zombies to normal. Jack stopped the bomb from hitting the bombsite by placing it in stasis inside his warship and when everyone got to safety, the Doctor destroyed the ambulance, making sure that history said that a bomb hit that location. The Doctor rescued Jack from his Chula warship just before it exploded, taking him aboard the TARDIS as his latest companion. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Doctor Dances (TV story)}})

=== A TARDIS trio ===
{{Reflist|2}}
After Jack answered a distress signal coming into the TARDIS, the trio found themselves in early [[21st century]] [[Russia]]. After telling the soldiers present that they had orders to be there, they discovered a missing girl who had aged considerably. Taking the girl and a similarly aged body to the nearby research institute, the Doctor asked Rose to investigate the local village while he and [[Catherine Kornilova]], a student at the research institute, studied samples of the standing stones the body was found in. They discovered that the samples aged both their hands, though the Doctor's recovered quickly due to his DNA not being "close enough" to the strain it collects life force from.

Meeting up with Rose and Jack, they went to an abandoned ship which had crashed and had been tampered with to collect energy from humans rather than wind and solar. Evading [[Spaceship Remote|blue blob creatures]] attempting to power up the ship, the Doctor was able to thwart their plans and drain the ship's power completely, powering the creatures down.

The Doctor intended to take Rose and Jack to the planet [[Kegron Pluva]], but instead arrived in [[2005]] [[Bromley]] to investigate a [[time distortion]], where he encountered [[Das (Only Human)|Das]], a [[Neanderthal]] who was transported from [[BC#Prehistory|29,185 BC]] to 2005 by a [[rip engine]]; a crude method of time travel that prevented anyone who used it from travelling in time again. Unable to return Das to his native time zone, the Doctor and Rose left him in 2005 with Jack and travelled to 29,185 BC to investigate further, where they encountered a genius named [[Chantal Osterberg]], who intended to wipe out humanity and replace it with [[Hy-Bractor]]s. After stopping Chantal, the Doctor and Rose reunited with Jack, who had spent a month introducing Das to the ways of modern life, and resumed their travels together.

The Doctor wanted to take Rose and Jack to [[Excroth]], only to find the planet destroyed, and them captured by the [[Lect]], who demanded to know why the travellers had come to the Excroth System. As a squadron of armoured [[Unon]] attacked the ship, the Doctor attempted to lead Rose and Jack back to the TARDIS, but the three were intercepted by a group of Lect. Jack blasted off one of the Lect's arm so the three could escape in the TARDIS, though Jack and the Doctor inadvertently left without Rose as the ship exploded.

The Doctor and Jack tracked Rose down to the [[Fluren Temporal Bazaar]] on [[Fluren's World]], a [[black market]] for time weapons, where they found Rose, who had been stuck there for four days after she fell through the Vortex with a [[tachyon inhibitor]] protecting her from the [[time wind]]s until [[Glom]] picked her up with his ship's time scoops. The Doctor recognised Glom's weapons as being from [[Gallifrey]] and flipped Glom's table in anger. In an attempt to attract the Unon, the Doctor announced to the crowd that he was offering his [[Time Lord]] mind for sale, but was transmitted aboard the Lect ship instead.

===Medicine===
When the Unon arrived and fought off the Lect, the Doctor attempted to talk to them, but was teleported to meet the Unon Mother Superior, [[Arnora]], in a [[sub-dimensional void]]. The Doctor agreed to co-operate with the Unon in return for his TARDIS being retrieved. After reuniting with Jack, the Doctor and Jack fixed a [[time fissure]] on [[Traxis]] using a [[temporal stabiliser]]. The Doctor was contacted by Rose for his coordinates, which he gave to her, only to find that she had joined up with the Lect and led their armada to the Unon's [[Perpetual City]].

===Philosophy===
When the Doctor was taken aboard the Lect command ship by Rose, he learned that the Lect were [[Excrothian]] survivors who wanted revenge on the Unon for destroying Excroth with a [[entropy engine]] for their time travel experiments. Realising that history would repeat itself, the Doctor decided to take the Lect leader, Prelon [[Marleth]], to destroy the entropy engine and the Unon with it, telling a disagreeing Rose that it was "[Marleth's] war, [and] his choice." However, Marleth was shot by Arnora before he could ignite the engine, so the Doctor threatened to do it himself if the Unon refused to surrender. He was then saved by Jack and the Unon Grand High Seer, [[Evja]], from an attack from behind, but could not stop the engine's meltdown, or Marleth and Arnora from killing each other. Taking as many as he could, the Doctor took Evja and the Unon to a new planet for a fresh start. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Weapons of Past Destruction (comic story)|Weapons of Past Destruction]]'')

The Doctor took Rose and Jack to the Eye of Orion, but found a giant ziggurat and the [[Hanging Gardens of Slarvia]], which had been destroyed centuries before. The Doctor used his sonic screwdriver to discover a ship in orbit, which transmatted them on board and brought them face to face with [[Taggani]], the most famous geohacker in history. After lamenting about Taggani's use of his helmet, an [[Aesirian]] [[Worldshaper|world-shaper]], to overrun the planet [[Campra]] with [[Argurian creeper]]s, Taggani used it to form a mind-link with the Doctor. After discovering he was the same Time Lord who put his mind up for auction on Fluren's World, Taggani planned on using the Doctor's memories to recreate everything lost in the Time War.

However, the Doctor was able to enter Taggani's mind at the same time and discover that he was Brian Carrios, an art historian from the [[Braxiatel Collection]] who was expelled for being unable to spot a forgery. The Doctor used the world-shaper to broadcast Taggani's true identity on the side of the planet, before transmatting himself, Rose, and Jack back down to the surface. As [[Judoon]] ships from the [[Shadow Proclamation]] closed in on Taggani's ship, Rose pointed out that Jack's face remained on the side of the moon. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Hacked (comic story)|Hacked]]'')

When the [[Cyberman|Cybermen]] allied with [[Rassilon]] to take over history, the Doctor, Rose and Jack rescued Jackie during a Cyberman invasion in [[2006]]. Having been robbed of the TARDIS, they used a stolen flyer to break the base of the Cybermen's operation, where they attempted to regain control of the TARDIS, only to have the console explode, activating the [[Cloister Bell]]. The TARDIS began imploding on itself to protect the Earth from its engines exploding, so the group evacuated to the flyer, where its shields were still up. During the chaos, Rose was partially cyber-converted and killed Jack. With Jackie safely in the shields of the flyer, the Doctor attempted to use his sonic screwdriver to confront the Cybermen and figure out how they converted Rose so fast, discovering an airborne element that cyber-converted his screwdriver into his hand, and began spreading up his arm. Leaving Jackie in the shield that would soon reject him, the Doctor attempted to return to the imploding TARDIS to collapse its containment field and allow the [[Eye of Harmony]] to rupture, destroying the Cyberman occupied Earth with it. Before it could, the Doctor and Jackie discovered that the energy had been syphoned away, before everything reverted to normal. Still able to remember the events when everyone else forgot, the Doctor looked on sombrely as Rose and Jackie embraced each other, contemplating what had happened.

Escaping to the TARDIS after planting temporal beacons, the Doctor, Rose and Jack received a video from what appeared to be Jack on the planet [[Gharusa Prime]]. Answering the call, the Doctor was bombarded by [[Yani Mamora]] and other admirers upon arrival and was shocked to learn that an impostor was hailed as a celebrity on a show called ''[[Doctor Who? (Doctormania)|Doctor Who?]]'', before being attacked by fake [[Chumbley (Doctormania)|Chumblies]] and being "rescued" by "the Doctor". He and Jack were arrested for impersonating the "real" Doctor, while Rose snuck off and discovered the other Doctor to be [[Slist Fayflut Marteveerthon Slitheen]] wearing a skin suit based off the Doctor from Fluren's World. She planned on attending a peace conference on [[Clix]], as the [[Raxas Alliance]] was on the brink of war. Slist then kidnapped Rose to act as her companion.

The Doctor, held for interrogation, was quickly released by [[Estiva (Doctormania)|Estiva]], who suspected Slist was the true imposter. Reuniting with Jack, the Doctor took off to search for Rose and Slist but gave Estiva a message to pass along to Yani, apologising for brushing her off earlier. The pair tracked Rose to Clix and wore Raxacoricofallapatorian skin suits to traverse the forests of Clix in disguise. The Doctor mounted a [[Clixian spineback]] named [[Tiddles (Doctormania)|Tiddles]] and brought the group back to the peace conferences, where they intercepted the plot to sabotage the conference. The Doctor and his companions then departed to the TARDIS, leaving Tiddles behind as he did not want to bring a pet along. The Doctor then received a phone call from Mickey Smith in [[2016]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doctormania (comic story)|Doctormania]]'')
[[ar:ابن سينا]]
 
[[an:Avicena]]
Answering the call, the Doctor met Mickey in [[2016]] [[San Francisco]], and learned that Mickey had been trying to call his [[Tenth Doctor|next incarnation]] for help after his wife, [[Martha Jones]], had turned into a gargoyle. The Doctor discovered that a wormhole was passing through the city, which, coupled with the city's previous history, had caused nearby humans to mutate. The Doctor and Mickey followed the wormhole back to [[Shirov-three]], and discovered that Glom was behind the creation of the wormhole. The Doctor drove a large tourist bus through the wormhole when it was at maximum capacity, collapsing it whilst also sending him back to San Francisco. The destruction of the wormhole reversed the human mutations. The Doctor then called Glom on his phone and blackmailed him into launching a rescue mission for the stranded alien tourists.

Tracking a gargoyle straggler, the Doctor, Jack and Rose found themselves on Earth, in the late [[20th century]], where they met [[Tara Mishra]], who later revealed herself to be a [[UNIT]] soldier. They went back to the [[UNIT research base]], where they met [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|the Brigadier]]. After their adventure, the trio discovered Tara stowed away on the Doctor's TARDIS to come along as a companion. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Official Secrets (comic story)|Official Secrets]]'')

The Doctor was sent to the [[Stormcage Containment Facility|Hesguard Institute]] following the alleged murder of Tara, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Slaver's Song (comic story)|Slaver's Song]]'') in reality a ruse to allow him to investigate the inner workings of the facility after seeing news of former patients committing worse atrocities than before. He was placed under the Bad Wolf Process, meant to drain all of his negative emotions and thoughts into a vessel known as a [[Sin-Eater]]. The resulting creation of a Sin-Eater modelled after the Doctor soon proved destructive, as, due to the Doctor's telepathic abilities, the Sin-Eater developed a mind of its own and began rampaging throughout the facility with malicious glee, eventually granting the other Sin-Eaters sentience. Soon after, the Doctor reunited with Rose and Tara and transported them to the [[Matryoshka drive]], the source of energy running the Institute. He lured his Sin-Eater there, who began feeding on the Doctor's life energy, but was soon sent into the Matryoshka drive via a teleport slipped onto him by the Doctor. Jettisoning the drive into [[the Void]], the trio made their narrow escape to an examiner shuttle as the facility dissolved in the face the time storm surrounding it. As Tara and Rose discussed their dubious victory, the Doctor piloted their shuttle in silence. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Sin-Eaters (comic story)|Sin-Eaters]]'')

The TARDIS was pulled out of the Time Vortex by a tractor beam and forced into landing so that the Doctor could be a guest on [[Slist Fayflut Marteveerthon Slitheen]]'s talk show, ''The Slist Show Christmas Special''. After verifying that Rose and Tara were safe and in the audience, the Doctor was alarmed to learn that Slist brought him on her show as a guest to bury the hatchet with General [[Yolaktorin]] of the Retjarvik-Sattavarian, who was shot through a rift after their regime was toppled by the Doctor.

As the General lunged towards the Doctor, he fell to his knees in pain as his makeup began burning him under the lights. Rushing to his side, the Doctor, commanded the lights to be shut off, used his sonic screwdriver to turn on the snow machine, burying the General and stopping his burning. The Doctor revealed that the General butchered most of the [[Chapadio]] race and that this was a set up by to get her revenge on him. The Doctor then addressed Slist's audience, told them to have a family argument rather than watch television on Christmas, and shut down TVs across the galaxy with his screwdriver.

Sending Jack to pick Tara up off of [[Nomicae]] while he took Rose to see [[Horlak]] to "fix" her after she saw herself become a Cyberman in an alternate reality, the Doctor took the TARDIS under the [[Pacific Ocean]] in [[1886]], but the crew of [[Vastra|Madame Vastra's]] ship hauled the TARDIS onboard their ship. After Vastra and Jenny introduced themselves to Rose, they explained that they were on the search for [[Silurian]] survivors, an idea the Doctor quickly dismissed, arousing Vastra's suspicions. Vastra began to confront the Doctor about his secret-keeping after Rose mentioned him bringing her to see a "guru with three eyes", but was cut off when the ship was attacked by a [[Myrka]]. The survivors washed up on the shore of an island where they were surrounded by Silurians, who incapacitated Vastra and brought the rest to Horlak., who explained that Rose's mind was fractured with memories of an erased timeline, and sought to have her healed before she had a psychotic break.
[[cs:Avicenna]]
 
[[cy:Avicenna]]
As Horlak began healing her, Rose heard Jack's voice calling out, setting up a psychic projection through Horlak. The Doctor was shocked to learn that the [[Fourth Doctor]], there with Jack and [[K9 Mark II|K9]], set up the projection to tell his ninth incarnation that the universe was being devoured, but was disrupted when Vastra and Jenny arrived. Furious with one another, the Doctor admitted to Vastra that the Silurians on the island were voluntarily quarantined by the [[Sixth Doctor]], as they had a disease that affected other Silurians. Soon after, several of those present were corrupted by energy from the Void, but the Doctor quickly modified a Silurian gun to release those under the influence. Receiving another message from his past as he made to leave, the Doctor quickly dropped Vastra and Jenny back in London, leaving Rose behind with them to keep her safe.

The Ninth Doctor arrived at [[St Luke's University]] in [[2017]] in time to rescue his [[Tenth Doctor|tenth]] and [[twelfth incarnation]]s, along with [[Jenny (The Doctor's Daughter)|Jenny]], [[Bill Potts]], and [[Nardole]], from a mob of infected students, explaining that he was instructed to find them by their fourth incarnation. Fighting alongside Jenny using his modified Silurian gun, the Doctor and his future incarnations were soon distracted by a white hole opening up in the sky. The Ninth Doctor led his successors and their companions into his TARDIS after a corrupted [[Kate Stewart]] destroyed his gun, and the group learned that all thirteen versions of the TARDIS had fused into one. Following the arrival of the [[Eighth Doctor]] and [[Josie Day]], who had managed to break out of the Void with aid from the other trapped Doctors, the Ninth Doctor helped to repair Jenny's [[bowship]] to take it into [[the Void]] and fix the crisis at its source.

Leaving the Eighth Doctor and their companions behind, the Twelfth Doctor flew Jenny's ship into the white hole with his ninth and tenth incarnations, where they established contact with their predecessors before discovering the source of the anomaly was the [[Eleventh Doctor]], merged with a [[Type 1]] [[TARDIS]] that fell out of reality; the Eleventh Doctor connected with it via a telepathic circuit, but only accomplished scaring the TARDIS into attempting to seek peace by destroying the chaotic universe. The four Doctors concocted a plan to allow every incarnation of their TARDIS to speak with the Type 1, persuading it to jettison all it consumed and close up the white holes. Arriving back on Earth, the Ninth Doctor agreed to take Jenny back home and return his eighth, tenth, and eleventh incarnations and their companions back to their respective TARDISes.

[[fy:Avicenna]]
Taking the TARDIS to [[2006]] [[Cardiff]] so that it could refuel via a scar in the [[Cardiff Space-Time Rift|rift]] that was closed by Gwyneth, the Doctor and his two companions, joined by Mickey, enjoyed some downtime in town before seeing that [[Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen|Blon]], the sole Slitheen survivor of the attack on Downing Street, had become Lord Mayor of Cardiff. They concocted a plan to capture her and bring her to justice. Though Blon tried fleeing, the Doctor reversed her teleportation device several times until she gave up and took her prisoner aboard the TARDIS until he could return her to [[Raxacoricofallapatorius]] to face execution after her family had already been sentenced to death in their absence. The Doctor confiscated her [[tribophysical waveform macro-kinetic extrapolator|extrapolator]] to use as a "power-booster" on the TARDIS and took her to a restaurant for dinner as her last request.
[[gl:Avicena]]
 
[[gan:伊本·西那]]
After he remained unmerciful towards her, Blon tried to tear the TARDIS and the Earth apart by making the extrapolator lock onto an alien power source that was refuelling on the rift, using the extrapolator as an interstellar surfboard to escape the Earth. However, the damage she caused to the ship opened the [[heart of the TARDIS]], which turned her into a Slitheen egg. Realising Blon had a second chance in life, the Doctor decided to drop her off in the hatchery on her homeworld. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}})

In [[23rd century]] [[New Vegas]], the Doctor, Jack and Rose investigated the ruthless vigilante [[the Whisper]], with Rose and Jack going undercover. During the investigation, the Doctor received a message from [[Eleventh Doctor|his future self]] via an electronic billboard that he had to make sure Police Chief [[James McNeil|McNeil]] survived. They discovered that the Whisper had been created by McNeil to combat crime boss [[Cyrus Wolfsbane|Wolfsbane]], not realising how lethal a vigilante it would become. They attempted to talk it down from killing Wolfsbane, resulting in him stabbing it. The Doctor helped McNeil arrest Wolfsbane, ensuring he survived.

[[jv:Ibnu Sina]]
Immediately after leaving [[1336]] [[Japan]], the Doctor, Rose and Jack were teleported to [[Satellite Five|the Game Station]] to be put in deadly versions of TV game shows. After escaping ''[[Big Brother]]'' alongside a contestant called [[Lynda Moss]], the Doctor met up with Jack and they raced to save Rose from ''[[The Weakest Link]]'', hosted by a deadly [[Anne Droid]]; they were unsuccessful in preventing the Anne Droid from seemingly killing Rose. Completely broken, the Doctor, along with Jack and Lynda, was arrested for breaking in and out of the games. However, he and Jack physically overpowered the guards and set off to stop the "entertainment".
[[ka:იბნ სინა]]
 
[[kk:Ибн Сина]]
Taking hostages in the control room, Jack found the TARDIS stowed away in an archive room. Using the TARDIS, Jack discovered the laser that "killed" the games' losers was teleporting them across space. Puzzled, the Doctor discovered that the Game Station was unknowingly broadcasting a secondary signal to an empty location of space, which was where all the losers ended up. Disabling the signal, the Doctor and Jack were horrified to find two hundred Dalek [[Dalek flying saucer|battleships]]. Establishing contact, the Doctor learned the Daleks had taken Rose hostage but promised to rescue her and destroy the Daleks. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Bad Wolf (TV story)}})
[[ky:Авиценна]]
 
[[sw:Ibn Sina]]
The Doctor and Jack flew the TARDIS straight into the Dalek command ship and rescued Rose. However, the Doctor soon discovered the [[Dalek Emperor]] had also survived the [[Last Great Time War]], and had been shaping humanity for many centuries, converting the contestants into Daleks for its army. Knowing his fight against the Daleks was suicidal, the Doctor sent a reluctant Rose back home in the TARDIS, while he and Jack gathered a possible resistance consisting of gameshow contestants and operatives. The Doctor built a [[delta wave generator]], a device that would "fry the brain stems of every living thing within a thousand miles of the satellite", but was not able to perfect it to work only on Daleks.
[[ku:Ibn Sîna]]
 
[[la:Avicenna]]
After the resistance, including Lynda and Jack, were all killed, the Doctor was unable to bring himself to destroy the Daleks and the Earth with the delta wave generator, proudly telling the Dalek Emperor that he would rather be "a coward" than a killer. Resigning himself to being exterminated by the surrounding Daleks, the Doctor was shocked to find that Rose had opened the [[heart of the TARDIS]] and become the [[Bad Wolf (entity)|Bad Wolf]]. Having absorbed the energy of the Time Vortex into herself, she brought the TARDIS to the Game Station and scattered all the Daleks and the Emperor's atoms into dust, ending the Daleks' plot.

Knowing that Rose would burn up if she kept so much power in her body, the Doctor drew the Time Vortex from her body and into his own with a [[kiss]], before sending it back into the heart of the TARDIS. He then took an unconscious Rose into the TARDIS, abandoning a resurrected Jack on the deserted Game Station ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}}) after Rose had accidentally converted him into an immortal [[fixed point in time]].

Knowing that his possession of the vortex energy had caused cellular damage to his body, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}}) the Doctor looked back on his life, deciding what was "fantastic", and that it "meant a lot". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Shortness of Breath (short story)|Shortness of Breath]]'') He told Rose how he had wanted to take her to "so many places", such as the planet [[Barcelona (planet)|Barcelona]].

After being "beaten by losing a war with [[Death]]". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[What the TARDIS thought of "Time Lord Victorious" (short story)|What the TARDIS thought of "Time Lord Victorious"]]'') the Ninth Doctor was an emotional incarnation of great sorrow and anger, plagued by the outcome of the [[Last Great Time War]], breaking down or unleashing a great rage born from emotional exhaustion when faced with the consequences of the war. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}, {{cs|Dalek (TV story)}}, {{cs|Father's Day (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}}) However, when truly outraged with someone, the Doctor would stare at them calmly before bluntly speaking to them about what they had done to upset him.

([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}}, {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}}) His masquerade hid a near overwhelming sense of guilt regarding his predecessor's actions in the Time War, something he kept at bay by insisting that his strife had been worth it.

Behind his war-torn demeanour, however, he was one of the nobler incarnations, with not even a [[continuity bomb]] able to find a timeline where he was "anything less than fantastic", ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Four Doctors (comic story)|Four Doctors]]'') and him willingly returning the power of the [[Time Vortex]] to the [[heart of the TARDIS]] after saving Rose from burning up by absorbing the power into himself, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}}) despite the [[Tenth Doctor]] claiming that a Time Lord would become a "vengeful god" if they absorbed such powers. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Utopia (TV story)}}) Indeed, the Ninth Doctor found it humorous when [[Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen]] identified his TARDIS as "technology of the gods", dismissing the idea of being a god by claiming he would "never get a day off".

([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Cataclysm (audio story)|Cataclysm]]'') Not wanting to be a fighter, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[All Flesh is Grass (novel)|All Flesh is Grass]]'') the Ninth Doctor described himself to [[Lynda Moss]] simply as a traveller in search of "a quiet life". ([[TV]]: {{cs|Bad Wolf (TV story)}})

He could get self-defensive over how others described him, defiantly telling Rose that he "[was] impressive" after she called him out for showing off his time travelling capabilities, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}) claiming he was "making an effort not to be insulted" when Rose rhetorically asked why all the "great looking" men disappear from her, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Doctor Dances (TV story)}}) and questioning if [[Mickey Smith]] found him unattractive after Mickey pointed out how handsome [[Jack Harkness]] was.

Preferring to remain unnoticed in the background, the Doctor would instead encourage or inspire others into acts of heroism.

[[Category:Game modes]]
Because of the emotional burden he carried with him from the [[Last Great Time War]], the Ninth Doctor was initially reluctant to involve himself in events. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Oncoming Storm (audio story)|The Oncoming Storm]]'') Despite being less of an interventionist, the Doctor was willing to help his friend [[Plex]] populate a planet with clones using the [[Chameleon Arch]], understanding the pain Plex felt for the loss of his species in a freak [[singularity]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Promise (FCBD comic story)|The Promise]]'') Trying to hide his friendlier side, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Cataclysm (audio story)|Cataclysm]]'') the Ninth Doctor could come across as uninterested in the details around him, acting out his plans and intentions without informing his allies of his objective. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}) Despite initially wanting to travel alone indefinitely after the Time War, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Eyeless (novel)|The Eyeless]]'') the Doctor became a lonely man in his solitude, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Day to Yourselves (short story)|A Day to Yourselves]]'') looking particularly crestfallen when Rose rejected an invitation to travel in the TARDIS. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}})
[[Category:Ninth Doctor| *]]
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on the personality traits the Ninth Doctor exhibited shortly before and during his travels with Rose Tyler-->
While he was more adept at noticing the flaws of humanity than his predecessors, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}, {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Doctor Dances (TV story)}}) the Ninth Doctor still retained the selfless and caring attitude that he carried throughout his previous lives, never once hesitating to put himself in harm's way to save those around him. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}, {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}, {{cs|Father's Day (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}}) Indeed, when facing [[Henry van Statten]], the Doctor noted the greater aspects of mankind while deriding van Statten for his greed, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Dalek (TV story)}}) and also admitted his admiration for [[England]]'s defiance of the [[Third Reich]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Empty Child (TV story)}}) When he realised that he could reverse the pain and suffering he had encountered with the [[Empty Child plague]], the Doctor became overjoyed, whooping how "just this once, everybody live[d]", with [[Rose Tyler]] claiming he was "beaming away like [he was] [[Father Christmas]]". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Doctor Dances (TV story)}}) He also tried not to hold grudges when those who wronged him needed his help. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Red Bicycle (short story)|The Red Bicycle]]'')
 
Despite initially coming across as emotionally scarred and melancholy, the Ninth Doctor displayed a fun side from time to time, bobbing his head to [[Soft Cell]]'s "[[Tainted Love]]", ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}) enjoying a meal with [[Nancy (The Empty Child)|Nancy]] and her children friends, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Empty Child (TV story)}}) having a dance with [[Rose Tyler]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Doctor Dances (TV story)}}) and enjoying some downtime in [[Cardiff]] with Rose, Jack and Mickey. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}}) While discussing the grave consequences of the human race being fed constant reality television like sheep, he interrupted himself to ask [[Lynda Moss]] if they still had the program "[[Bear With Me]]", even chuckling about the celebrity edition where the bear got into a bath tub. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Bad Wolf (TV story)}})
 
Preferring to be in the present, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}) the Ninth Doctor would make decision in the heat of the moment, focusing more on emotion rather than logic. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}}, {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}, {{cs|Dalek (TV story)}}, {{cs|Father's Day (TV story)}}) He was also prone to falling for minor deceptions or overlooking obvious details. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}}, {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}, {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}}) However, he confessed that he downplayed his intelligence on occasion to lure his opponents into a false sense of security to have then expose their plans to him. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Clockwise Man (novel)|The Clockwise Man]]'')
 
More aloof than other incarnations, the Ninth Doctor failed to consider any discomfort the [[TARDIS translation circuit]] would cause, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}) and was also willing to temporarily allow the [[Gelth]] to occupy [[corpse|dead human bodies]], likening it to [[recycling]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}})
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's likes, dislikes and beliefs-->
The Ninth Doctor did not "do domestic", ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}, {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}, {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}) which led to tensions between him and [[Jackie Tyler]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}, {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}, {{cs|Father's Day (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}}) He resisted speaking of his past to others, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}) and would feel sorrow instead of nostalgia when seeing aspects of his past. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Dalek (TV story)}})
 
Believing marrying for love to be overrated, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Only Human (novel)|Only Human]]'') the Ninth Doctor would turn down explicit romantic advances, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}) but would be willing to return romantic pursuits if he felt there was chemistry with them. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Fond Farewell (audio story)|Fond Farewell]]'') He would also engage in friendly flirting, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}, {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}}) and openly called [[Sam Bishop]] "gorgeous". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Way of the Burryman (audio story)|Way of the Burryman]]'') Though later [[River Song]] would help him realise that he was aromantic and asexual. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Swipe Right (audio story)}}.
 
He displayed a certain level of childish joy when it came to toying with people, such as by deliberately addressing them by the wrong name, insulting their intelligence or subjecting them to unnecessary humiliation. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}, {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}}) According to Rose, he liked to insult species as a whole when in moments of stress. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Doctor Dances (TV story)}}) He would often make dry jokes to diffuse the tension of a situation. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}, {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}}, {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}, {{cs|Bad Wolf (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}})
 
The Doctor expressed a keen interest in history, once claiming he travelled in time specifically so he could see history unfold. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}) He was also a fan of [[Charles Dickens]]'s work, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}}) and had a fondness for art as well, taking Rose to see the original ''Mona Lisa'' at the Oriel, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Art Attack (comic story)|Art Attack]]'') and considered himself an admirer of [[Geohacker|geohacking]] rather than a critic. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Hacked (comic story)|Hacked]]'') He also found pleasure in playing Mickey's video games, even briefly bonding with him over them, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Winner Takes All (novel)|Winner Takes All]]'') and enjoyed [[immersive reality]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Sphere of Freedom (audio story)|Sphere of Freedom]]'')
 
He liked "unsurprising" surprises, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Beast of Babylon (short story)|The Beast of Babylon]]'') with the one thing that kept on surprising him being how disobedient his companions were when we told them to avoid "wandering off". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Empty Child (TV story)}}) He also voiced an affection for [[hug]]s, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}}) and gave them out to comfort others, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Father's Day (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}}) or when in moments of joy. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Doctor Dances (TV story)}}, {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}}, {{cs|Bad Wolf (TV story)}})
 
He disliked dealing with people who tried to deny the extra-ordinary and unexplainable, even after they had witnessed it, believing that they only wasted his time with their denial. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}})
 
He was a vocal fan of [[banana]]s, calling them a "good source of [[potassium]]". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Doctor Dances (TV story)}}) Sharing [[bacon]] [[sandwiches]] with Rose in a cafe, he voiced an admiration for [[ketchup]] that challenged [[brown sauce]] as his favourite condiment. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Retail Therapy (audio story)|Retail Therapy]]'') He happily accepted [[Turkey (bird)|turkey]] while dining with young orphans, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Empty Child (TV story)}}) and ordered [[steak]] and [[chips]] while dining with [[Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen]] for her last meal. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}}) He also enjoyed lemon gingerbread. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Lost Dimension (comic story)|The Lost Dimension]]'')
 
He liked to have his [[coffee]] with just [[milk]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}) and took his [[tea]] with two [[sugar]]s. ([[TV]]:{{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}}) While Rose claimed to her mother that the Doctor drank, he did not enjoy [[wine]], instantly spitting what he had drank back into his glass after a toast. ([[TV]]: {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}) He did, however, enjoy [[brandy]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Clockwise Man (novel)|The Clockwise Man]]'')
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on the Ninth Doctor's attitude towards time travel and the Web of Time-->
<!--Examples following this point focus on the Ninth Doctor's attitude towards violence and death-->
While he stood against killing, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Sphere of Freedom (audio story)|Sphere of Freedom]]'') the Ninth Doctor displayed a huge sense of authority against his enemies, willing to let them die when he felt it justified their actions, claiming that everything had its time and that everything eventually ended, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}, {{cs|Dalek (TV story)}}, {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}}) but was willing to use diplomacy, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}) though he preferred action to philosophical debates. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}}) He showed a particular dislike for those who tried to justify their actions by saying they were only "following orders", telling the [[female programmer]] she had "lost the right to even talk to [him]" when she tried to use that excuse. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Bad Wolf (TV story)}})
 
Because of his pragmatic approach to situations, he would at times brush off individual deaths to focus on the task at hand, and would even encourage others to do the same and mourn later. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}}, {{cs|Father's Day (TV story)}}) However, while the Doctor showed the ability to move past the deaths of those around him in the heat of the moment, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Dalek (TV story)}}, {{cs|Father's Day (TV story)}}) he acknowledged the lives lost as soon as he could. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}, {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}})
 
The Doctor was more willing to use guns in drastic situations ([[TV]]: {{cs|Dalek (TV story)}}, {{cs|Bad Wolf (TV story)}}) and as tools. ( [[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Lost Dimension (comic story)}}) Thanks to Rose's help, he returned to his objection of using guns for warfare. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Weapons of Past Destruction (comic story)}}) While he similarly frowned upon violence, he admitted that he found fantasy violence in the form of video games somewhat therapeutic. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Winner Takes All (novel)|Winner Takes All]]'')
 
Always aiming to see the innocence in those deemed hostile, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Sphere of Freedom (audio story)|Sphere of Freedom]]'') the Doctor was morally outraged when the [[alien (Aliens of London)|genetically modified]] was killed for looking threatening, when in reality it was only acting out of fright, and comforted it in its dying moments by stroking its snout. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}) He likewise became morally outraged when he learnt that victims of the [[Empty Child plague]] had been left to be forgotten. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Empty Child (TV story)}})
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's miscellaneous traits-->
While the Doctor never shied away from the dangers of his adventures, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}, {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}}, {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}}) he voiced an admiration for the mundane lives of [[Sarah Clark]] and [[Stuart Hoskins]], and was shocked when they suggested they weren't important. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Father's Day (TV story)}})
 
<!--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, and how the other Doctors felt about this particular incarnation, both in chronological order-->
The Ninth Doctor was not keen to encounter his other selves, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Day to Yourselves (short story)|A Day to Yourselves]]'') being apprehensive to speak to [[Constantine (The Empty Child)|Dr. Constantine]] when he was led to believe he was another of his incarnations. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Empty Child (TV story)}}) Upon receiving a message from the [[Fourth Doctor]], the Ninth Doctor bemoaned the occasion, reaffirming the Fourth Doctor's dislike of "talking to [him]self". ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Lost Dimension (comic story)|The Lost Dimension]]'') He compared a [[Multi-Doctor event]] to ''[[Chuckle Brothers|ChuckleVision]]''. ([[WC]]: ''[[Doctors Assemble! (webcast)|Doctors Assemble!]]'')
 
When forced to reflect on his memories of the [[Last Great Time War]], and his [[war incarnation]], the Doctor reacted in agony, showing a great dread of his immediate predecessor, as well as his [[eighth incarnation]], ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Weapons of Past Destruction (comic story)}}) though he reflected on how innocent the Eighth Doctor was before the Time War. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Forgotten (comic story)}}) He was especially angry with the War Doctor for leaving him to "clean up the mess" left by the Time War.  ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|A Day to Yourselves (short story)}}) 
 
A Matrix projection of him referred to the [[Tenth Doctor]] as "fantastic". ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Forgotten (comic story)|The Forgotten]]'') Upon meeting his tenth and [[twelfth incarnation]]s, the three were able to work together amicably, though he claimed he did not trust either of them to rescue Jack and Tara from [[the Void]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Lost Dimension (comic story)|The Lost Dimension]]'')
 
The [[Tenth Doctor]] held a somewhat low opinion of the Ninth Doctor, thinking him to have been "full of blood and anger and revenge" due to being "born in battle". ([[TV]]: {{cs|Journey's End (TV story)}}) The [[Eleventh Doctor]] seemingly harboured no such ill feelings, cheerfully delivering a message to the Ninth Doctor and signing off with a jovial, ''"Cheers, Ears"'', before apologising for the joke with concern. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Night of the Whisper (audio story)|Night of the Whisper]]'') The [[Twelfth Doctor]] would later claim that his ninth incarnation was so "fantastic" that there was no possible timeline that even the [[continuity bomb]] could find where he was anything but so, a sentiment shared by the tenth and eleventh incarnations. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Four Doctors (comic story)|Four Doctors]]'', ''[[The Promise (FCBD comic story)|The Promise]]'')
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's feelings and opinions on his companions and other friends and allies-->
The Doctor cared very deeply about [[Rose Tyler]], being reluctant to put her in danger, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}}, {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}}) and was even willing to let [[Metaltron|a Dalek]] loose on Earth to keep her safe. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Dalek (TV story)}}) When the Daleks invaded [[Satellite Five]], the Doctor sent her back home to protect her, and deliberately absorbed the Time Vortex energy in her to save her life, knowing that he would regenerate afterwards. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}}) While others would mistake them for lovers, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}, {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}, {{cs|Dalek (TV story)}}, {{cs|Father's Day (TV story)}}) the Doctor himself denied such a claim when it was made by [[Ali (The Beast of Babylon)|Ali]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Beast of Babylon (short story)|The Beast of Babylon]]'')
 
During his limited travels with [[Adam Mitchell]], the Doctor admitted to him that he was a "tiny bit fantastic" after he helped the Doctor defeat the [[Bygone Horde]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Other Side (audio story)|The Other Side]]'') and accepted him as a true companion when he sacrificed his life to defeat {{Ainley}}'s plan to end the universe, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Endgame (POT comic story)|Endgame]]'') despite previously kicking him out of the TARDIS for attempting to [[biochip|send]] information from [[200000]] to his [[2012]] [[answering machine]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}}) He was initially being dismissive of [[Jack Harkness]] for being a [[con man]] and indirectly causing the [[Empty Child plague]], but chose to save him from the bomb he had taken onto his ship and invited Jack along as a companion due to his noble action. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Doctor Dances (TV story)}})
 
The Doctor though that his TARDIS was a "magnificent time ship", ([[TV]]: {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}) even calling it the "best ship in the universe." ([[TV]]: {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}})
 
While he initially believed him to be no more than Rose's "stupid boyfriend", and claimed that he was "choking on [his] words" asking for his help, the Doctor nonetheless entrusted [[Mickey Smith]] with a computer virus to delete all mentions of him from the internet, even inviting him along in the TARDIS after his help in defeating the Slitheen family, and defended his honour in front of Rose by claiming he was refusing Mickey entry after he turned down the offer. ([[TV]]: {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}) While he stilled enjoyed teasing him, the Doctor came to enjoy Mickey's company in [[Cardiff]], even offering to wait for Rose to say goodbye to him before they left. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}})
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's opinions and relationships with children and youngsters-->
When it came to children, the Ninth Doctor generally treated them kindly. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Empty Child (TV story)}}) When [[Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen|Blon]] reverted back into an egg, rather than send her to execution, the Doctor desired to give her to a new family to start a new life, believing the new child had a chance to make things better. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}}) He also cared for a baby Rose Tyler, taking surprise that Jackie deemed him the best man to be trusted with her care. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Father's Day (TV story)}}) However, he could grow irritated with children who misbehaved, ([[TV]]: {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}) and once had to wrestle a television remote control out of a little boy's hand, though the boy at least had a laugh about it. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}})
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's opinion of the Daleks and other enemies-->
The Ninth Doctor held a deep vendetta against [[Dalek Empire|the Daleks]], but was also fearful of them. When he realised that [[Henry van Statten]]'s prized [[Metaltron]] was a [[Bronze Dalek|Dalek]] [[Dalek drone|drone]], and that its weaponry was powerless, the Doctor proceeded to try and kill it after via torture, and even tried to convince it to kill itself when it demanded orders. However, after Rose came to its defence, the Doctor calmed down, with his anger turning into sympathy as he realised the Dalek was broken by its own mutation. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Dalek (TV story)}}) Upon learning the Daleks had survived by hiding away in the year [[200100]], the Doctor noted his desire to "burn every last stinking Dalek out of the sky". ([[TV]]: {{cs|Bad Wolf (TV story)}}) However, when dared by the [[Dalek Emperor in the Last Great Time War|Dalek Emperor]], the Doctor struggled with the decision to either destroy the Daleks and the Earth with a [[delta wave]] or simply allow the Daleks to kill him and take over the universe. In the end, the Doctor couldn't bring himself to pull the trigger, happily calling himself a "coward" instead of a "killer". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}})  
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on how others described this particular incarnation of the Doctor-->
[[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]] noted that the Ninth Doctor had a military mind set to him, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Official Secrets (comic story)|Official Secrets]]'') with [[Adam Mitchell]] identifying the Ninth Doctor as the "soldier" in comparison to his other incarnations. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Unnatural Selection (comic story)|Unnatural Selection]]'') Rose believed he had a "worry etched on his face" that hid his true feelings, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[He's Behind You (short story)|He's Behind You]]'') while [[Audrey Mohinson]] recognised his apathy "mask[ed] the troubled soul just beneath the surface". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Cataclysm (audio story)|Cataclysm]]'')
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's attitude towards regeneration-->
When talking about the possibility of his death, the Doctor would show no concern for his demise, only hoping for a good death, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}}) with his only concern when faced with being killed by the [[Gelth]] was that it was to happen in a [[Cardiff]] [[Sneed and Company|morgue]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}})
 
After the regeneration process was started by the cellular damage he had achieved from siphoning the [[Time Vortex]] out of Rose's body, the Doctor first stated his regret at being unable to take her to the planet [[Barcelona (planet)|Barcelona]], and then speculated what he would look like after he regenerated. In the closing moments of his life, though, the Doctor made peace with his past actions, smiling peacefully before he regenerated. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}})
 
=== Habits and quirks ===
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's accent, catchphrases and recurring wording -->
The Ninth Doctor spoke with a distinctive Northern [[English]] accent, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}, {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}) and had a fondness for saying "[[fantastic]]" when he was pleased with something, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}, {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}, {{cs|Dalek (TV story)}}, {{cs|Father's Day (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Doctor Dances (TV story)}}) came across a dangerous situation, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}) explaining his admiration for someone, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}}) describing a favoured place, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}}) found something of interest, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}}) or was sarcastically expressing displeasure. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Night of the Whisper (audio story)|Night of the Whisper]]'')
 
He would at times promote his actions with the phrase, ''"and for my next trick"'', ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (TV story)}}; [[COMIC]]: ''[[Sin-Eaters (comic story)|Sin-Eaters]]'') and exclaim, ''"give the man a medal"'', when celebrating a positive outcome, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}}) or congratulating cleverness. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}}) During interactions with new people, the Doctor often uttered that it was "nice to meet [them]". ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}}, {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}}, {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}})
 
He also used Cockney slang and street lingo more freely than his earlier selves, such as telling Rose to "leg it" when instructing her to escape, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}) yelling "oi" to get people's attention or when offended, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}}, {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}}, {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}}) calling other men "mate", ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}}) and saying, ''"I'll have 'ya"'', to those who irritated him. ([[TV]]: {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}) He often gave speeches about things, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}, {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Empty Child (TV story)}}) or lectured those he wished to scold. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Dalek (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}}, {{cs|Father's Day (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Doctor Dances (TV story)}})
 
While his previous incarnations were rarely heard uttering curse words, the Ninth Doctor used minor curses more freely, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}, {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}, {{cs|Dalek (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Empty Child (TV story)}}, {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}}) though his TARDIS had a swear filter nested in the translation circuit. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Only Human (novel)|Only Human]]'') When being critical of [[human]] nature, the Ninth Doctor would call humans "stupid [[ape]]s", ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}, {{cs|Father's Day (TV story)}}) and, on one occasion, "brainless sheep". ([[TV]]: {{cs|Bad Wolf (TV story)}})
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's physical habits and quirks-->
The Ninth Doctor had a habit of folding his [[arm]]s, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}, {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}}, {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}, {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Empty Child (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Doctor Dances (TV story)}}, {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}}, {{cs|Bad Wolf (TV story)}}) especially as he leaned back on his shoulder. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}}, {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}}, {{cs|Father's Day (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Empty Child (TV story)}}, {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}})
 
He would also keep his hands in his jacket pockets, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}, {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}}, {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}, {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}, {{cs|Dalek (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}}, {{cs|Father's Day (TV story)}}, {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}}) or held behind his back. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}}, {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}, {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Doctor Dances (TV story)}}, {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}})
 
He would also grin when pleased with something, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}, {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}}, {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}, {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}}, {{cs|Father's Day (TV story)}}, {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}}, {{cs|Bad Wolf (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}}) found something funny, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}, {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}}, {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}, {{cs|Father's Day (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Empty Child (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Doctor Dances (TV story)}}, {{cs|Bad Wolf (TV story)}}) trying to look welcoming, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}, {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}, {{cs|Dalek (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Empty Child (TV story)}}, {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}}) explaining a situation, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}) admiring someone, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}}, {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}, {{cs|Bad Wolf (TV story)}}) when admitting to an embarrassing mistake on his part, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}) when pretending to be nice, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Doctor Dances (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}}) taunting his enemies. ([[TV]]: {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}, {{cs|Dalek (TV story)}}, {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}}, {{cs|Bad Wolf (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}}) or trying to be reassuring. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Doctor Dances (TV story)}}, {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}})
 
He would roll his eyes when annoyed. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}, {{cs|Father's Day (TV story)}}, {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}}, {{cs|Bad Wolf (TV story)}}) and also made a habit of lounging when sitting down, usually propping himself up on an arm. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}, {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}}, {{cs|Bad Wolf (TV story)}}) When in his TARDIS with nothing to do, the Doctor would fiddle with a ball in his hands. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}, {{cs|Father's Day (TV story)}})
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's miscellaneous habits and quirks-->
While he was rarely seen eating, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Winner Takes All (novel)|Winner Takes All]]'') the Doctor helped himself to two slices of turkey, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Empty Child (TV story)}}) ate three sandwiches and two cakes with two cups of tea, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Winner Takes All (novel)|Winner Takes All]]'') happily gobbled down multiple bacon sandwiches, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Retail Therapy (audio story)|Retail Therapy]]'') and helped himself to a huge slice of lemon cake. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Lost Dimension (comic story)|The Lost Dimension]]'')
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's use of technology-->
Like his other incarnations, the Doctor had his TARDIS key with him at all times, but also carried a spare placed on a chain with a D-shackle. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}) He also began habitually carrying his [[psychic paper]] around. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}) The Ninth Doctor otherwise broke away from the behaviour of his other incarnations, whose pockets were usually filled with seemingly random objects and knick-knacks, by carrying very little on his person, with only [[the Doctor's sonic screwdriver|his sonic screwdriver]] on him when frisked by security. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Bad Wolf (TV story)}})
 
=== Skills ===
The Ninth Doctor held a commanding presence, and had a gift for leading others, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Father's Day (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Doctor Dances (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}}) even those initially hostile towards him. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}, {{cs|Bad Wolf (TV story)}}) As such, he disliked it when he was interrupted while explaining the situation at hand, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}) or when someone else gave out instructions on how to apprehend the enemy. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}}) He could also convince others he was needed as a leader for the benefit of survival, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Dalek (TV story)}}) and was able to successfully order the victims of the [[Empty Child plague]] to "go to [their] room" as if he were an angry parent. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Doctor Dances (TV story)}}) He could also be effectively intimidating with just a stare. ([[TV]]: {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}}, {{cs|Bad Wolf (TV story)}}) However, he did not seem as skilled at holding audiences, being heckled while stepping in for [[William Shakespeare]] on stage, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[A Groatsworth of Wit (comic story)|A Groatsworth of Wit]]'') and being treated as a comedy act in a makeshift cabaret when attempting to ask about a [[Chula ambulance]] falling from the sky during [[the Blitz]]. However, he could amuse and hold the attention of a group of children, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Empty Child (TV story)}}) and took a bow to roaring applause when he appeared on stage in the middle of a theatrical production in [[1894]] [[Birmingham]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Other Side (audio story)|The Other Side]]'')
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's skills in combat and similar physical prowess-->
Unafraid of fighting, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}}) the Ninth Doctor was skilled in close combat, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}, {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}}, {{cs|Bad Wolf (TV story)}}) and showed a great deal of strength and agility, being able rip parts off of artificial beings, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}, {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}) and kick open a locked door. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}}) However, he struggled to break free from an Auton's grip, only flipping it off with Rose's help, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}) and was restrained by two of the Editor's reanimated workers. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}}) He also possessed keen reflexes, catching a poisoned dart-like projectile in mid-air with his fingers without even looking up from his menu when he took [[Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen]] out for a last meal, and repelled her exhaled poison with some mouthwash before she could exhale the full force of her fatal breath. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}}) He also avoided the attack of three [[Elian]]s, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Red Bicycle (short story)|The Red Bicycle]]'') easily manoeuvred through the chaos of [[Traxis]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Weapons of Past Destruction (comic story)|Weapons of Past Destruction]]'') and grabbed onto the underside of a passing spaceship that [[Slist Fayflut Marteveerthon Slitheen|his imposter]] was flying. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doctormania (comic story)|Doctormania]]'')
 
Despite being bad at card tricks, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}) the Doctor was a good pickpocket, being able to swap Jack's [[sonic blaster]] with a banana undetected. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Doctor Dances (TV story)}}) He was also quite stealthy, able to disappear from [[Albion Hospital]] without a trace, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}) and arrive at a dinner table without anyone noticing him until he spoke. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Empty Child (TV story)}}) Despite some initial confusion, the Doctor proved to be a skilled dancer. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Doctor Dances (TV story)}})
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's telepathy, hypnotism and similar mental prowess-->
He also displayed psychic abilities, telepathically placing Rose in a dreamscape of the [[Powell Estate]] from his memories before stealing energy from [[Makassar]]'s gestalt to create a projection with physical substance, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Masks of Makassar (short story)|The Masks of Makassar]]'') and confronting [[Sea (The Cruel Sea)|the entity]] using him as a host body within his mind before projecting his consciousness into the TARDIS to act as his vessel. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Cruel Sea (comic story)|The Cruel Sea]]'') He also managed to project his consciousness into Tycho's body and reverse his influence on the people drained by [[Glubby Glub]]s, inducing them to forget the incident, and return to his body as Tycho's withered. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Retail Therapy (audio story)|Retail Therapy]]'')
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's mechanical prowess and similar technological repertoires-->
Claiming to have "[come] first in [[jiggery pokery]]", ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}) the Doctor was capable of reversing a teleportation feed, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}, {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}}) and had the technical skills to make [[Satellite Five]] into a [[delta wave]] [[Delta wave generator|generator]] in a few hours after initially predicting it would take at least three days to do so. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}})
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's medical skillset-->
Professing that he "[had] [his] moments", the Ninth Doctor proved a skilled physician, notably being able to accurately diagnose that the patients at the [[Albion Hospital]] had all suffered the same physical injuries. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Empty Child (TV story)}}) He also understood [[nanogene]]s and how they could heal any physical injuries, and even revive the dead, so long as they had been previously exposed to the patient's species. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Doctor Dances (TV story)}})
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's enchanted senses, such as smell and taste-->
The Doctor could recognise substances such as ozone from smell alone, associating it with the "distinctive tingle" of teleportation, as well as tell it apart from [[chronon energy]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Winner Takes All (novel)|Winner Takes All]]'', ''[[The Red Bicycle (short story)|The Red Bicycle]]''; [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Bidding War (comic story)|The Bidding War]]'') was able to tell that the Lend-a-Hand girls didn't "smell human", ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Love Invasion (comic story)|The Love Invasion]]'') and was able to track down Nancy without her detection, jokingly claiming his nose had "special powers". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Empty Child (TV story)}}) While he did not enjoy [[wine]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}) he could identify its year and place of origin by taste alone. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Clockwise Man (novel)|The Clockwise Man]]'')
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's musical and instrument based skillset-->
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's piloting-->
The Ninth Doctor displayed refined control of his TARDIS, managing to accurately pilot it back to where had bid farewell to Rose after he defeated [[Starman (The Beast of Babylon)|the Starman]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Beast of Babylon (short story)|The Beast of Babylon]]'') so that he arrived only seconds after he left from her perspective, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}) take Rose to see her mother and father marry and returned her to the moment her father died twice with no issues, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Father's Day (TV story)}}) and even piloted it around Rose and a Dalek when coming to save her. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}}) He was also successful at riding a motorbike, quickly took command of a horse drawn carriage, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Love Invasion (comic story)|The Love Invasion]]'') and rode a dinosaur on [[Clix]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doctormania (comic story)|Doctormania]]'')

<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's omnilingualism-->
The Doctor boasted that he could speak all the "five billion languages in [his] head", ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}}) such as [[Latin]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Sphere of Freedom (audio story)|Sphere of Freedom]]'')
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's miscellaneous skills-->
Being a [[Time Lord]], the Ninth Doctor could slow down his perception of time through sheer concentration, being able to pass through a spinning blade as a result. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}) He also had no difficulty breathing in a room filling with gas after it became uninhabitable to humans, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}}) and could withstand electrical forces that were harmful to other species. ([[TV]]: {{cs|World War Three (TV story)}}) He also showed the ability to read through a book in seconds, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}) and suck the power of the Time Vortex out of [[Rose Tyler]] with a [[kiss]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}})

([[PROSE]]: ''[[What I Did on My Christmas Holidays by Sally Sparrow (short story)|What I Did on My Christmas Holidays by Sally Sparrow]]'')
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's regenerative abilities-->
The Ninth Doctor possessed certain control over [[regeneration]], being able to hold back the process long enough to carry Rose into the TARDIS and pilot them both away from Satellite Five. The action proved strenuous though, causing him to cry out in pain after resisting it for too long. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}})
 
== Appearance ==
[[File:Nine come with me.jpg|thumb|The Doctor asks [[Lynda Moss]] to join him. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Bad Wolf (TV story)}})]]
Standing over six [[feet]] tall, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Winner Takes All (novel)|Winner Takes All]]'') the Ninth Doctor looked like a man in his early forties, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}) and had pale [[blue]] [[eye]]s, strong [[cheekbone]]s, a small beauty mark on his [[right cheek]], and dark [[brown]] [[hair]], which he wore close-cropped. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}) At times, he sported a five o'clock shadow, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}, {{cs|Dalek (TV story)}}, {{cs|Father's Day (TV story)}}, {{cs|Bad Wolf (TV story)}}) and [[Rose Tyler]] claimed that he shaved. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Doctor Dances (TV story)}}) Whilst immobilised on [[Occasus]] for ninety years, the Doctor's hair grew out and he also grew a beard, which he distastefully noted made him look like a [[wizard]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Planet of the End (audio story)|Planet of the End]]'')
 
He had large [[ear]]s, which he was initially shocked at when looking at his reflection, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}) and that he felt did not suit him, but determined that "we work with what we have." ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Promise (FCBD comic story)|The Promise]]'') Their size earned him the nickname "Big Ears" from [[Mickey Smith]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}}) and being identified as the "me with the ears" by the [[Tenth Doctor]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Lost Dimension (comic story)|The Lost Dimension]]'') The [[Eleventh Doctor]] playfully teased him about his ears, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Night of the Whisper (audio story)|Night of the Whisper]]'') and their size was noted by [[River Song]] as well. ([[GAME]]: ''[[The Eternity Clock (video game)|The Eternity Clock]]'') Ironically, before his [[regeneration]], his [[War Doctor|previous incarnation]] hoped that his successor's ears would be less conspicuous. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (TV story)}})
 
When the Doctor told [[Nancy (The Empty Child)|Nancy]] that his ears had "special powers", she asked him if his [[nose]] had powers too, implying that she thought his nose was large as well. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Empty Child (TV story)}}) The [[Tenth Doctor]] also considered his predecessor's nose large, even nicknaming him "Big Nose". ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Four Doctors (comic story)|Four Doctors]]'')
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on how the Ninth Doctor described his own appearance-->
The Doctor felt that his appearance made him look tough, especially when compared to his [[eighth incarnation]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Red Bicycle (short story)|The Red Bicycle]]'') He also believed himself to be handsome, telling Rose he was "making an effort not to be insulted" when she rhetorically asked why all the "great looking" men disappear from her, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Doctor Dances (TV story)}}) and being fixated on [[Mickey Smith]] implying he didn't find him handsome. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Boom Town (TV story)}})
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on how others described the Ninth Doctor's appearance-->
He was also considered attractive by the likes of [[Jackie Tyler]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}) [[Jabe]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}) and [[Shirley Gilbert]], who described him as "[a] bit of a dish if you like them rough", and his eyes as "dreamy". ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Love Invasion (comic story)|The Love Invasion]]'') [[Slist Fayflut Marteveerthon Slitheen]] was awarded Cosmopolitan's "Sexiest Planetary Saviour" nine years in a row while using a [[skin suit]] based off the Ninth Doctor's appearance. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doctormania (comic story)|Doctormania]]'')
 
[[Rose Tyler]]'s first impression of the Doctor was that he looked "hard as nails" due to his "brutal" buzzcut, weathered clothing and apparent fitness." When he turned to face her, Rose noted the delight in his eyes, as well as the Doctor's prominent cheekbones, and his "splendid ears" most of all. Even after the two parted company, as Rose processed the encounter, she thought mostly of the Doctor's bright blue eyes, beaming with excitement. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rose (novelisation)|Rose]]'')
 
[[Winston Churchill]] described the Ninth Doctor as a "rough looking fellow, with wing-nut ears and a [[leather jacket]]." ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Lost Diaries of Winston Spencer Churchill (short story)|The Lost Diaries of Winston Spencer Churchill]]'')
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on how the other incarnations of the Doctor described the Ninth Doctor's appearance-->
When the [[Eighth Doctor]] looked into the [[Tomorrow Window]]s, he had glimpses of various possible futures, including [[The Doctor's ninth incarnation|several possible ninth incarnations]], but eventually "the tall, thin man with [the] piercing grey-blue eyes and a prominent nose" asserted itself as more solid than the others. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Tomorrow Windows (novel)|The Tomorrow Windows]]'')
 
=== Clothing ===
==== Main attires ====
Picking the first outfit he could find after his regeneration, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Day to Yourselves (short story)|A Day to Yourselves]]'') the Ninth Doctor opted for a more stripped-down and rugged attire. The main staple of his outfit was a battered [[black]] double breasted [[leather]] [[peacoat]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}) which was compared to those worn by [[Nazi|German]] [[U-boat]] captains by [[Jack Harkness]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Empty Child (TV story)}}) Some accounts suggested he also had a [[leather jacket]] that was dark [[brown]] in colour. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Mr Nobody (comic story)|Mr Nobody]]'', ''[[The Cruel Sea (comic story)|The Cruel Sea]]''; [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Clockwise Man (novel)|The Clockwise Man]]'', ''[[Rose (novelisation)|Rose]]'') The Doctor was particularly fond of his jacket, even being more concerned with locating it when both the jacket and the TARDIS went missing, only cheering up once it was returned. After the stitching under the arms began to rip and a sleeve was damaged by a shard of glass, the Doctor left his jacket with [[Edward Repple]] and replaced it with an identical one. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Clockwise Man (novel)|The Clockwise Man]]'')
 
Along with the jacket, the Ninth Doctor wore a number of v-neck [[Jumper|jumpers]], coloured in [[Alabaster (colour)|alabaster]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Promise (FCBD comic story)|The Promise]]'') [[Bottle (colour)|bottle]] [[green]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Food Fight (audio story)|Food Fight]]'') [[army green]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Curse of Lady Macbeth (audio story)|The Curse of Lady Macbeth]]'') [[Indigo (colour)|indigo]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Last of the Zetacene (audio story)|Last of the Zetacene]])'' [[Bronze (colour)|bronze]] [[brown]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Beautiful Game (audio story)|The Beautiful Game]]'') plain [[maroon]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'') [[Navy (colour)|navy]] [[blue]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Unquiet Dead (TV story)|The Unquiet Dead]]'') [[Olive (colour)|olive]] green, ([[TV]]: ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'') [[Eggplant (colour)|eggplant]] [[purple]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Empty Child (TV story)|The Empty Child]]'') bright [[Lilac (colour)|lilac]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Weapons of Past Destruction (comic story)|Weapons of Past Destruction]]'') [[Emerald (colour)|emerald]] green, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doctormania (comic story)|Doctormania]]'') [[Gunmetal (colour)|gunmetal]] [[grey]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Official Secrets (comic story)|Official Secrets]]'') [[Sapphire (colour)|sapphire]] blue, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Monstrous Beauty (comic story)|Monstrous Beauty]]'') [[Rust (colour)|rust]] [[orange]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Guide to the Dark Times (short story)|The Guide to the Dark Times]]'') and [[Raven (colour)|raven]] black. ([[TV]]: ''[[Bad Wolf (TV story)|Bad Wolf]]'') However, he was photographed wearing a navy blue polo-neck jumper at the [[Assassination of John F. Kennedy]]; ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}) and he also wore a [[Sage (colour)|sage]] green crewneck sweater in [[1923]] [[Paris]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Four Doctors (comic story)|Four Doctors]]'') and a [[midnight blue]] turtleneck jumper during a trip to [[Arctic|the Arctic]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Northern Lights (audio story)|Northern Lights]]'')
 
Completing the ensemble were a pair of trousers, coloured in either black, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}) grey ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Weapons of Past Destruction (comic story)|Weapons of Past Destruction]]'') or [[midnight blue]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doctormania (comic story)|Doctormania]]'') along with a black leather [[belt]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Dalek (TV story)}}) a pair of black leather [[Doc Martens|Doc Marten]] [[Boot|boots]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Red Bicycle (short story)|The Red Bicycle]]'') and a black, strapped [[Watch|wristwatch]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}) which he often looked at to find out dates and years, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The End of the World (TV story)}}, {{cs|Aliens of London (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Long Game (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Empty Child (TV story)}}) and that the TARDIS was able to home in on while flown by [[Sally Sparrow (What I Did on My Christmas Holidays by Sally Sparrow)|Sally Sparrow]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[What I Did on My Christmas Holidays by Sally Sparrow (short story)|What I Did on My Christmas Holidays by Sally Sparrow]]'') He also wore diamond-print socks. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Winner Takes All (novel)|Winner Takes All]]'')
 
Both [[Charles Dickens]] and [[Honoré Lechasseur]] compared the Ninth Doctor to a navvy. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Unquiet Dead (TV story)}}; [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Albino's Dancer (novel)|The Albino's Dancer]]'') [[Jackie Tyler]] was particularly critical of his stripped down clothing style, believing he either owned only one T-shirt or threw them out after wearing them once. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Retail Therapy (audio story)|Retail Therapy]]'') The Doctor once suggested that he bought his clothes from a Gap in [[Croydon]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Only Human (novel)|Only Human]]'')
 
==== Other costumes ====
Whilst at the launch of the [[RMS Titanic|RMS ''Titanic'']] in [[1912]], the Doctor wore a [[Burgundy (colour)|burgundy]] [[brocade]] [[cravat]] with an [[Ivory (colour)|ivory]] [[shirt]] and double-breasted [[frock coat]] of [[Ebony (colour)|ebony]] black [[moleskin]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rose (TV story)}}, [[PROSE]]: ''[[Have You Seen This Man? (short story)|Have You Seen This Man?]]'')

While in [[1924]] [[London]], the Doctor wore a dark brown round neck shirt under his jacket, with a pair of faded slacks, and battered shoes. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Clockwise Man (novel)|The Clockwise Man]]'')
 
During an adventure in [[World War I]], the Doctor wore a military [[trenchcoat]] to fit in with the [[British]] soldiers. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Forgotten (comic story)|The Forgotten]]'')
 
The Doctor and Jack briefly donned skin suits of [[Raxacoricofallapatorian]]s when searching for Rose and [[Slist Fayflut Marteveerthon Slitheen]] on [[Clix]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doctormania (comic story)|Doctormania]]'') During his imprisonment at [[Stormcage Containment Facility|Hesguard Institute]], the Doctor wore an orange prison jumpsuit. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Sin-Eaters (comic story)|Sin-Eaters]]'')

[[File:Dalek invasion of Venice.jpg|thumb|''Doctor Who'' meets ''Casanova''.]]
* In [[NOTVALID]]: [https://haribeaux.tumblr.com/post/173834772418/with-all-awry ''With All Awry''], it is implied that the the Doctor's [[leather jacket]] is the same jacket that once belonged to [[Fitz Kreiner]].
* In the online game ''[[The Last Dalek (video game)|The Last Dalek]]'', which presents an alternate version of the events of [[TV]]: ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'', the Doctor has an entry in the [[Metaltron|Dalek]]'s memory files. He is described as; ''"Male subject. [[The Doctor's age|Age unknown]]. [[Time Lord]]. Archenemy of the Daleks! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!"''
* A standalone panel by comic artist [[Lee Sullivan]] shows [[Casanova]], as played by [[David Tennant]] in the {{w|Casanova (2005 TV serial)|2005 BBC miniseries}}, meeting the Ninth Doctor and [[Rose Tyler]] amidst an invasion of [[Venice]]'s [[St Mark's Square]] by [[bronze Dalek|bronze]] [[Dalek]]s.<ref>https://www.leesullivanart.co.uk/LEE/who.htm</ref>
 
=== Casting ===
* Originally, Russell T Davies approached [[Hugh Grant]], who previously played the Doctor's alternate [[Twelfth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|twelfth incarnation]] in the spoof ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death (TV story)|The Curse of Fatal Death]]'', to play the Ninth Doctor. He turned down the role, thinking the show would not take off. He expressed deep regret over this in 2007 after seeing how successful the show had become.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bitsofnews.com/content/view/5216/42/ |title=Hugh Grant in Doctor Who: Could have been the Doctor... |author=Rubio, A. |date of source=21 February 2007 |website name=Bits of News |accessdate=23 July 2013}}</ref>
 
=== Costume influences ===
* The Ninth Doctor was the second incarnation whose main attire does not include any form of neck wear, following the [[Fifth Doctor]].
 
=== Regeneration ===
* The Ninth Doctor is unique in being the only Doctor to not be seen immediately after his regeneration. ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'' shows the beginning of the transformation from the [[War Doctor]] to the Ninth Doctor, but it is cut off before the full results are shown.
* The Ninth Doctor is currently the only incarnation whose incoming and outgoing regenerations were broadcast in reverse order. The War Doctor's regeneration into the Ninth Doctor was not shown on-screen until ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'', eight years after the Ninth Doctor's regeneration into the Tenth Doctor in ''[[The Parting of the Ways (TV story)|The Parting of the Ways]]''.
* The Ninth Doctor is currently the only incarnation of the [[BBC Wales]] era of the show whose outgoing regeneration occurred in the final episode of a standard series rather than a special.
 
=== Other matters ===
* With only one season, the Ninth Doctor's television run is the third shortest for a numbered Doctor and fourth shortest overall, behind that of the Eighth Doctor's two appearances in the 1996 made-for-television movie ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'' and the mini-episode ''[[The Night of the Doctor (TV story)|The Night of the Doctor]]'', the [[War Doctor]]'s two appearances in the television episode ''[[The Name of the Doctor (TV story)|The Name of the Doctor]]'' and the fiftieth anniversary special ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'', and the [[Fourteenth Doctor]]'s four appearances in the [[60th Anniversary Specials]] from ''[[Destination: Skaro (TV story)|Destination: Skaro]]'' to ''[[The Giggle (TV story)|The Giggle]]''.
* The Ninth Doctor was the first incarnation to have the same companion throughout all their television appearances, with [[Rose Tyler]] being present for all of his thirteen episodes. They would be followed by the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] and her companion [[Yaz Khan]], and by the [[Fourteenth Doctor]] and his companion [[Donna Noble]] (if one excludes mini-episodes).
* The Ninth Doctor was the first incarnation never to face another [[Time Lord]] as an opponent on-screen, with the [[Eleventh Doctor]] coming second if one discounts the [[Dream Lord]] or [[Mr Clever]], both being amalgams of the Doctor instead of distinct individuals. The [[Fourteenth Doctor]] also shares this distinction.
* The original plan for ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'' was for the Ninth Doctor to be the one who fought in the Time War, as hinted throughout his era. However, [[Steven Moffat]] admitted that he had difficulty with this since the Ninth Doctor is clearly "a new man" at the beginning of his adventures with Rose, as deduced from comments he makes about his physical appearance upon looking in a mirror. After talking about the project with Moffat, however, Eccleston decided to decline being involved in the 50th anniversary special, as Moffat thought that he would. The character of the [[War Doctor]] was created to take his place. Moffat later explained Eccleston's reasons for passing on the reprisal in an interview:
{{Quote|I sort of knew that he wouldn't. I know Chris a bit. I did a couple of meetings, and there was a moment, I suppose, a giddy moment where [I thought] 'Would he actually do it?' This wasn't the kind of decision he took in a funk or that he was cross. He was very measured, very kind, very gentlemanly about it. He's a good bloke. If you look at Chris's career, this is not what he does. The Ninth Doctor turns up for the battle and not the party.|[[Steven Moffat]]|http://www.bbcamerica.com/anglophenia/2013/11/steven-moffat-talks-doctor-50th-ecclestons-absence/}}
* In 2020, when asked which part of the Ninth Doctor's life was witnessed by the [[Eighth Doctor]] in the [[Tomorrow Window]]s in ''[[The Tomorrow Windows (novel)|The Tomorrow Windows]]'', [[Jonathan Morris]] answered that it was a snapshot from "a story which [he] hasn't written yet".<ref>[https://twitter.com/jonnymorris1973/status/1266026206157320193 Jonathan Morris on Twitter]</ref>

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.

You may be looking for a different ninth incarnation.

Emerging from the Last Great Time War as the apparent sole survivor, the Ninth Doctor was forever haunted by what he had witnessed in the Time War and the immense guilt he felt over his belief that he had destroyed Gallifrey and killed all the Time Lords and Daleks, supressing the memory of the man he had been in the Time War as he tried to move forward and make amends with his actions in the conflict. While he projected a jovial and friendly demeanour during good moods, the Doctor tended to brood and act rudely as he navigated through the Post-Time War universe.

As he collected and fixed the flotsam and jetsam of the Time War, the Doctor was content to skulk in the shadows instead of facing his challenges, even denying himself a companion as penance for his wartime crimes. However, as he began to heal from the Time War and embrace his second chance, the Doctor began to make new friends as he opened himself up to finding a potential companion, offering up the TARDIS to the likes of Adriana Jarsdel, Nova and Fred. After reunions with the Brigadier and Liv Chenka ended with them convincing him to find a new companion, the Doctor found himself being accompanied by Callen Lennox and his dog, Doyle, when he had to help them find a new home. After they settled down on New Earth, the Doctor resumed his solitary travels, though now more hopeful.

When he thwarted the Nestene Consciousness's invasion attempt of London on 5 March 2005, the Doctor asked Rose Tyler, a shop assistant who had assisted him in defeating the Nestene after he had blown up her shop, to join him in the TARDIS, and she accepted when he told her it could time travel. After taking her to the end of the world and 1869 Cardiff, the Doctor accidently returned Rose to her home at the Powell Estate a year late, putting in the bad graces of her mother, Jackie, and her ex-boyfriend, Mickey Smith. However, they were able to put their tension aside to foil the Slitheen family's attempt to destroy the Earth for profit.

When a distress signal brought him to Henry van Statten's Vault in 2012 Utah, the Doctor found a Dalek had survived the Time War, but it destroyed itself after it absorbed the human factor from Rose. At Rose's request, the Doctor allowed van Statten's researcher, Adam Mitchell, into the TARDIS, but he was swiftly evicted when he tried to filch information from Satellite Five for his own benefit and refused to take responsibility for his actions. Rose also faced banishment afterwards when she, in a moment of high emotion, prevented her father's death in 1987, but a Reapers allowed them to make amends when her father set history back on track. Adam then returned to exact revenge on the Doctor for booting him from the TARDIS by trying to kill all his other companions, but he redeemed himself by sacrificing his life to defeat the Tremas Master.

After they faced the Kotturuh crisis, the Doctor and Rose were accidentally scammed by the ex-Time Agent Captain Jack Harkness, who helped them resolve the Empty Child plague he had unleashed, and welcomed him on board the TARDIS after they rescued him from an exploding Chula warship. As they helped recover Jack's memories that were wiped by the Time Agency, the trio was joined by UNIT soldier Tara Mishra.

Eventually, the Doctor, Rose and Jack were drawn back to Satellite Five in 200,100, where they learnt that that the Dalek Emperor had rebuilt the Dalek Empire by manipulating the Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire to its advantage. While the Doctor built a delta wave generator to destroy the Daleks, albeit at the cost of all life on Earth, Jack was killed leading a resistance against the Daleks. Despite sending her back to the Powell Estate to ensure her saftery, Rose absorbed the power of the Time Vortex through the heart of the TARDIS and became the Bad Wolf entity, allowing her to destroy the Daleks. The Doctor absorbed the energy out of her and into himself to prevent it burning her up, forcing him to regenerate into a new body in order to survive.

Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]

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

This section's awfully stubby.

Info from Time Lord Immemorial needs to be added.

The First Doctor would occasionally have premonitions of his future incarnations. (PROSE: A Big Hand for the Doctor) The First Doctor was told of a time he would become the last of his species, (AUDIO: Falling) 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 Ninth Doctor, as well as his eleven 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)"])

When the Third Doctor met Jackie Tyler while answering a distress call in 2006, he learnt that one of his future incarnations would meet and travel with a girl named Rose Tyler, and would also regenerate whilst in her company. (PROSE: The Christmas Inversion)

While meeting a future incarnation, the Fourth Doctor considered the implications that this future incarnation represented all the lives he'd live before reaching this point. (AUDIO: Out of Time)

Mawdryn attempted to force the Fifth Doctor to use up his eight remaining regenerations to end his follower's cycle of perpetual rebirth, but this was rendered unnecessary when Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart made physical contact with his younger self and a discharge of temporal energy was released that allowed Mawdryn and his followers to die. (TV: Mawdryn Undead) After losing his body to the Time Lords, the Tremas Master made a failed attempt to steal a regeneration from the Doctor. (PROSE: The Velvet Dark) The Fifth Doctor was told by Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart that he had worked with eight other incarnations of the Doctor by 1999, including four of his future incarnations. (PROSE: The King of Terror)

After the TARDIS became "stalled in the equivalent of a galactic lay-by", the Sixth Doctor had a worried thought of Peri Brown growing old and dying in the TARDIS, while he would "go on regenerating until all [his] lives [were] spent." (TV: Vengeance on Varos) When the Tremas Master exposed the Valeyard's alliance with High Council to the Sixth Doctor at his trial, he revealed that the Valeyard was acting as the prosecutor for the trial in exchange for the Doctor's remaining regenerations. (TV: The Ultimate Foe [+]Loading...["The Ultimate Foe (TV story)"])

During a premature encounter with Jack Harkness, the Sixth Doctor learnt that one of his future incarnations would meet and travel with Jack until abandoning him. Jack described "[his] Doctor" as a "fantastic" male who was "nothing like" the Sixth Doctor, who offered a pre-emptive apology for his future self's actions before assuring Jack that, since he was about to enter a healing coma, he would proceed to "edit" his memory of their encounter in his sleep so as not to interfere with their history. (AUDIO: Piece of Mind)

The Seventh Doctor wondered if any of his successors would have longer legs than him. (AUDIO: Fiesta of the Damned) When Ace was sent into the Seventh Doctor's mind, she discovered a room with thirteen cubicles, seven of them empty, while the other six contained shadowy white figures, representing the Doctor's future incarnations. (PROSE: Timewyrm: Revelation) After sealing Gallifrey away in a pocket dimension, (TV: The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (TV story)"]) the Seventh Doctor was able to recall teaming up with his other twelve incarnations to save Gallifrey. (AUDIO: Cold Fusion)

After using a Deathworm Morphant to possess a human body, the Bruce Master tried to use the Eye of Harmony to steal the Eighth Doctor's remaining regenerations to heal himself, but his plans were foiled when Grace Holloway sent the TARDIS' into a temporal orbit. (TV: Doctor Who [+]Loading...["Doctor Who (TV story)"]) When the Eighth Doctor looked into the Tomorrow Windows, he had glimpses of various possible futures, including several possible ninth incarnations, but one image eventually asserted itself as more solid than the others: the tall, thin man with piercing grey-blue eyes and an prominent nose. (PROSE: The Tomorrow Windows) While working at Phaiton, the Eighth Doctor once pondered on how he'd spend the rest of his lives. (AUDIO: The Satanic Mill) When talking about the future, the Eighth Doctor noted he would die again, and that one day he would "run out of deaths". (AUDIO: The Gift)

During the Last Great Time War, the War Doctor began degenerating back into his past incarnations after being struck by a degeneration weapon. (AUDIO: Past Lives) After an encounter with the Master on Planetoid 50, he had gained the ability to access future incarnations. (AUDIO: The Martian Invasion of Planetoid 50) In the form of the Ninth Doctor, he found himself teaming up with the Unbound Doctor, an alternate version of the Third Doctor, along with Liv Chenka and the Master, now in the form of the Lumiat. The four of them fulfilled a prophecy involving the Time Lord Immemorial, and prevented the destruction of the Multiverse. Not long after that, he received a distress call from his granddaughter, Susan Foreman, but as he started heading to the Diamond Array, degeneration kicked in again and he bid farewell to his future face. (AUDIO: Time Lord Immemorial)

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

Main article: Eighth Doctor's regeneration

According to some accounts, after the Eighth Doctor fought in the Last Great Time War, (PROSE: Osskah, Museum Peace, COMIC: The Forgotten, etc.) he directly regenerated into the Ninth Doctor after he had destroyed Gallifrey with the Moment. He broke his bones falling back into the TARDIS from the eyrie on which he had activated the Moment, destroying the Time Lords and ending the Last Great Time War. Once the regeneration died down, the Doctor, his thirst for life renewed despite the horrors he had witnessed, eagerly felt at his new face before exclaiming his first word: "Blimey!". (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Time War) The Ninth Doctor, still wearing his Edwardian outfit, arrived in Totter's Lane circa 2003, reeling from his regeneration, repeatedly muttering "they're all gone, I'm the only one left." He then travelled to an Oxfam in Sheffield in 2004, where he attempted to exchange his Edwardian outfit for jeans and trainers. (PROSE: Have You Seen This Man?)

The Doctor would later recall that that he had destroyed Gallifrey and been responsible for the death of billions of innocent Gallifreyans. (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"], Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"])

Main article: War Doctor's regeneration

Most other accounts instead indicated the Ninth Doctor emerged from the regeneration of the War Doctor rather than directly from the Eighth Doctor. One account indicated this occurred after the War Doctor had destroyed Gallifrey with the Moment. (COMIC: Sky Jacks [+]Loading...["Sky Jacks (comic story)","Sky Jacks"])

But most other accounts would claim that the memories of the destruction of Gallifrey were created after his true memories having been wiped due to the timelines being "out of sync" from the presence of his future selves, thus meaning he did not remember having decided not to press the button on the Moment and instead saving Gallifrey, and subsequently caused the Doctor to repress all of his memories of the War Doctor, who had broken the vow of being the Doctor. (TV: The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (TV story)"]) The Twelfth Doctor indicated to Bernice Summerfield that these accounts were a result of the Doctor rewriting the destruction of Gallifrey by breaking the laws of time. (PROSE: Big Bang Generation [+]Loading...["Big Bang Generation (novel)"]) This assertion was documented in TARDIS Type 40 Instruction Manual and Dalek Combat Training Manual. (PROSE: TARDIS Type 40 Instruction Manual [+]Loading...{"chaptname":"The Desktop Theme","page":"91","chaptnum":"V","1":"TARDIS Type 40 Instruction Manual (reference book)"}, Dalek Combat Training Manual [+]Loading...{"chaptname":"The Time War","chaptnum":"XII","1":"Dalek Combat Training Manual (reference book)"})

The Ninth Doctor is born after the Last Great Time War. (TV: The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (TV story)"])

According to these later accounts, after he had joined his other incarnations to put Gallifrey into a pocket universe, the War Doctor returned to his TARDIS and immediately began regenerating. (TV: The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (TV story)"]) Having been delaying the regeneration for some years, (PROSE: The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)"]) to the point that his body was frail and had visibly aged into that of an old man, the Doctor muttered to himself that it only "made sense" that he was now regenerating, as his body had been "wearing a bit thin". He hoped that his ears would be less conspicuous in his next incarnation. (TV: The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (TV story)"]) The Ninth Doctor smashed every mirror in the TARDIS, vowing to never look at what face he was wearing, as he thought about how many children he would need to save to make up for the ones he killed by destroying Gallifrey, (PROSE: The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)"]) while also vowing to earn back the name of "the Doctor" by making reparations for his wartime actions. (PROSE: A Brief History of Time Lords)

Recovering from the Time War[[edit] | [edit source]]

This section's awfully stubby.

Info from Human Conflict needs to be added

The Doctor at the Kennedy Assassination. (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"])

Filled with regret, (COMIC: The Promise) and deciding he "didn't need companions or friends", the Doctor travelled alone after the Time War, (PROSE: The Eyeless) wanting to save as many lives as he could to make up for using the Moment to destroy Gallifrey (PROSE: The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)"]) as his "punishment" for surviving the conflict. (PROSE: Meet the Doctor) He appeared at Rio de Janeiro before 2005, (PROSE: Rose) at Dallas during the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy on 22 November 1963, and in Indonesia on the day of Krakatoa's eruption in August 1883 (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"]) or 1880 or 1888. (PROSE: Have You Seen This Man?)

Searching for a place to gather his thoughts on the outcome of the Time War, the Doctor went to Galen. Teaming up with Adriana Jarsdel to find out why the people on the planet were made to want to kill, he found that it was being caused by a rift in interstitial space by the Time Lords during the Time War to protect them from the Compassionate. The Doctor set his sonic screwdriver to explode and was going to sacrifice himself to seal the rift, but Adriana sacrificed herself instead. (AUDIO: The Bleeding Heart) The Doctor later made a new sonic screwdriver to replace his old one, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"]) adding an extension feature to the emitter to make it less "grown-up". (TV: The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (TV story)"])

The Doctor rode the TARDIS through a supernova to save a robot clown and spent a week trying to restore its higher brain functions, and then set it loose in the TARDIS corridors. (PROSE: The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)"]) He had an encounter with River Song, who learned quickly not to mention the Time War around him. River wiped the Doctor's memory of meeting her with mnemosine recall-wipe vapour so the timeline would remain intact. (GAME: The Eternity Clock)

The Doctor followed traces of a Gallifreyan stone to 1939 London, where he discovered that RATS were also after the stone when one of them attacked Winston Churchill's secretary, Hetty Warner. The Doctor was reluctant to take part in events, but when Churchill was captured and refused to surrender, the Doctor had no choice but to intervene, stopping the RATS and saving the Prime Minister. (AUDIO: The Oncoming Storm)

The Doctor visited his old friend Plex to deliver the news that his home planet had been destroyed in a freak singularity and discovered that Plex had created hundreds of clones of himself to populate the empty planet where he resided. In light of Plex having recently become the last of his species, the Doctor realised that Plex's plan made sense and gave him a modified Chameleon Arch biodata module to "copy and paste" his memories into the clones. (COMIC: The Promise)

Embracing a second chance[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Doctor and the Daniels family. (PROSE: Have You Seen This Man?)

The Doctor arrived in Southampton in April 1912 with a head injury. He was treated by the Daniels family, whose garden he'd arrived in. He spent a few days in their company, finding common ground with Arthur who was similarly a veteran of war, and learnt they were due to voyage on the Titanic. He helped expose William Spence's attempt to sabotage their shipping business with alien technology and then departed, stealing their tickets for the Titanic to save them from its doomed voyage. (AUDIO: Battle Scars) The Daniels kept a photo of them and the Doctor from their brief time together. (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"])

The Doctor stole an atmosphere destroyer from Althea Bryce and took it to Krakatoa in 1883 to destroy it, where he encountered a younger version of Althea. They deduced they were caught in a paradox as she would steal the device from him after which he would later steal it from her, a loop he worried would eventually damage the device causing it to detonate. Althea eventually convinced him to tell her about her future self's actions, causing them to argue, and he began to suffer the effects of the paradox. After Althea came to a realisation that she didn't want to be the criminal he'd described, the Doctor developed a plan with her to fake her future self's criminal reputation to avoid damaging history and for her to retrieve the weapon from Krakatoa to finally defuse it. (AUDIO: Her Own Bootstraps)

The Doctor used erased days from a temporal weapon preserved by his eighth incarnation to restore Gernica to existence after it had been destroyed in the Time War. (AUDIO: Death Will Not Part Us)

Whilst trying to stop multiple invasions and schemes, the Doctor became frustrated that his future selves kept beating him to it and leaving him Christmas cards, which he hid away in the wardrobe room that he refused to enter anymore. Finally after one future Doctor trained armed guards to force him to take a break for Christmas, the Doctor entered the wardrobe room again, apologising to the TARDIS for breaking the mirrors, and found an old card leftover from his previous self depicting Earth, which he decided could be his new place to call home now he no longer had Gallifrey to return to. (PROSE: A Day to Yourselves)

On the Sphere of Freedom[[edit] | [edit source]]

Travelling alone, the Doctor discovered time eddies messing with history and encountered Roman Centurions stranded in 1959 London killing the populace. He followed the eddies to the Sphere of Freedom and teamed up with a chef named Nova to stop the eddies and get her a better life, but their plan backfired and Nova was captured by a time eddy, leading the Doctor to recount his experiences to Audrey Mohinson, who he did not realise owned the Sphere and was controlling the eddies. Her deception revealed, she transported the Doctor and the TARDIS to a neutron star full of creatures nicknamed Ravagers that were trying to devour the universe. (AUDIO: Sphere of Freedom)

The Doctor escaped through another time eddy, first witnessing Soviet Union tanks in the Battle of Waterloo, then rescuing Nova from having her brain wiped by drones on a planet of giant plants. Tracking Audrey, the Doctor and Nova arrived after the Sphere's central arc was destroyed, accidentally setting the eddies and Ravagers free and causing the universe to implode, so they travelled back in time to witness a younger Audrey trying to stop the Ravagers on Tarlishia. After being briefly imprisoned, the Doctor and Nova came up with a plan to repurpose the drones to destroy the offending time particles. (AUDIO: Cataclysm)

After making a few wrong landings, the Doctor arrived on the Sphere in the past to destroy the time eddies, but this also caused destruction and he was caught by another eddy. Using a Gallifreyan control node from Audrey, the Doctor was able to psychically project himself to her across her life, learning from her and the Ravagers themselves how she was simply using her games and the eddies to try and satiate their hunger. With the TARDIS returning the Doctor to before the events took place, the Doctor returned to Audrey and refashioned her games to keep the Ravagers happy at the cost of aborting the previous timeline, although he promised the alternate timeline's Nova one trip in the TARDIS. (AUDIO: Food Fight)

Responding to calls[[edit] | [edit source]]

While observing the Serapheem migration, the Doctor received a call for help from Marnie McDonald, a teenager from Dundee, Scotland. Arriving on Earth, the Doctor discovered that the Serapheem had mistakenly broken down Marnie and other teenagers into their molecules, misinterpreting their desire to run away. With Marnie's help, the Doctor managed to link up with the Serapheem and convinced them to reassemble all the teens, returning them to their families. (AUDIO: Girl, Deconstructed)

In Paris, 1946, the Doctor met Artie Berger, a pianist haunted by an alien creature that fed on sound. After several attempts, and after helping Artie recover his passion for music and his love of life, the Doctor finally managed to trap the creature and throw it into the Vortex. (AUDIO: Fright Motif)

Another call for help took the Doctor to Occasus, where he was immobilised by Sacristan Hinge for ninety years. During that time, the Doctor's mind was held captive by the Incorporation, who had lured him there to take possession of his artron energy and be reborn. After resisting their torture for as long as he could, the Doctor pretended to surrender if they would allow him to move his eyes. He took the opportunity to communicate with Fred, the artificial intelligence guarding Occasus, and convince her to demobilise him. The Doctor and Fred then worked together to prevent the rebirth of the Incorporation; they finally succeeded by transferring the artron energy into Fred herself, who became a living being. (AUDIO: Planet of the End)

Encountering lost warriors[[edit] | [edit source]]

In 1936, the Doctor got involved into the problems of the Hawthorn family of Dunberry Hall, under attack by mysterious assailants. He insisted on talking with them instead of fighting them, and managed to find their camp; here he was informed they were actually enforcers from another planet, come to arrest an alien war criminal hiding under the disguise of Lord Hawthorn. He helped them to unmask him, then went away - not without also helping the cook and servant of the house, Mrs Goose and Alice, to start a new life in London. (AUDIO: The Hunting Season)

In medieval Scotland, he met Gruach, wife of Macbeth, and helped her solve the mystery of a mysterious disease affecting the local children. Together they determined that the cause was an ancient entity disturbed by some sailors and feeding on the psychic energy of the young Lulach, heir to the previous king. The Doctor then recognised that the creature took hold of Kinade, Gruach's father, and also revealled he had been spreading lies about Macbeth, falsely accusing him of having killed the king to take the throne. The Doctor removed the influence of the creature from Kinade, and in doing so cured the children, leaving them to Gruach's care decided to take care of. (AUDIO: The Curse of Lady Macbeth)

Plagued by the Cybermen[[edit] | [edit source]]

On the planet Xythara, the Doctor helped Professor Flyn Beckett and his assistant (and mistress) Sasha Grey to save some endangered species. He then accepted Beckett's invitation to his funeral when the time would come. (AUDIO: Fond Farewell)

Finally arriving in 1925 to visit the set of Metropolis, the Doctor was surprised to find that Gustav Fröhlich has not been cast as the film's male lead, and horrified that a Cyberman is being used in place of the iconic robotic woman, under the guise of a "Machine Man" operated by Dieter Jovanovic. He intially assumed the Cyberman was controlling Jovanovic, and his suspicions appeared to be confirmed when the Cybermen killed the lead actor of the movie and escaped. He tracked him down together with Jovanovic, but he was surprised and ambushed by him: it was actually Jovanovic who had taken control of a dispersed and alone Cyberman, whose humanity was resurfacing. Jovanovic intended to use him to stop the production of a movie he felt "unpatriotic", because it promoted peace. The Doctor was able to break Jovanovic's grip on the Cyberman, and disabled him out of pity after they watched together the finished film. (AUDIO: Monsters in Metropolis)

Making good to his promise, the Doctor showed up to Beckett's funeral at Fond Farewell, when an avatar of the Professor's consciousness was also in attendance. He got suspicious when the Professor didn't recognise either him or Sasha, so he investigated into Fond Farewell suspecting foul play from one of his enemies. However, it turned out that the wife of the Professor asked to remove from his husband's mind the memory of their last months in order to forget his cheating, but the discarded memories took hold of the Attendants robots and started attacking people. The Doctor confronted the wife and convinced to let the Professor regain his memory, so they could have a real goodbye. (AUDIO: Fond Farewell)

Wanting to spend time with old friends following the funeral, the Doctor decided to visit Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart in Scotland. He encountered Sam Bishop, thinking he was a soldier and was fascinated with learning more about local folklore from Fiona McCall. He went with them to Inchcolm to learn more about the history. Here he encountered the Brigadier and learnt that he was there investigating a haunting. He later saw Sam being affected by a memory from the past. He captured the memories that were stored in the bridge before erasing them. However, this caused Kreel to activate his cyber-army. (AUDIO: Way of the Burryman) He used the local legends to attack the Cybermen using burrs. He realised that Kreel's Cybermen weren't fully programmed. He was taken by the Cybermen to get the Cyber-Head, and tried to stop them converting people. He wanted to use the doubts in the new Cybermen against Kreel. He used Fiona's research to find a way to ward of the Cybermen. After Fiona stopped the Cybermen, he learnt that the Brigadier had changed by not disposing of the Cybermen by bombing them and relocating those who regained their human memories. The Brigadier suggested that he needed a travelling companion, like he had Doris. (AUDIO: The Forth Generation)

Further solo exploits[[edit] | [edit source]]

After going too close to a temporal contusion, something got past the TARDIS's defences, causing it to misbehave. The Doctor decided to chase after it, leading him to an abandoned train station. There, he met Saffron Windrose, who had been trapped there by the Grimminy-Grew, which also trapped the Doctor by altering space so that the TARDIS was not where the Doctor had left it. Both the Doctor and Saffron experienced strange temporal dislocations, seeing people taken from different time periods who were unable to see or hear them. The Doctor and Saffron were able to reach the other people trapped by the Grew and, by speaking to them, were able to deduce that the Grew had been able to trap them because they were unable to make an important choice in their lives or were making a choice that they knew they would regret. Mrs Hodkin, one of the people trapped by the Grew, told the Doctor that she heard its song about the Sileroon which helped him to identify who the Grew was. The Doctor challenged the Grew to a thought battle in which each took turns guessing the other's true name, with the loser to be cast into oblivion. The Doctor correctly guessed the Grew's real name on his third attempt, defeating the creature. The power the Grew had over the station dissipated, sending all of the trapped people back to the points they had been taken from. The Doctor and Saffron then said their goodbyes as they parted ways, with the Doctor leaving in his TARDIS. (AUDIO: Station to Station [+]Loading...["Station to Station (audio story)"])

Continued adventures with Rose[[edit] | [edit source]]

This section's awfully stubby.

Info from The Clockwise Man needs to be added

The Doctor and Rose travelled to the site of Rose's estate before it was built in 1966 London. They discovered someone had been changing history, and a housing development called Brandon Mews had been built on the estate's future, even though there should have been nothing there except fields. The Doctor went to a pub to check The Daily Mirror for any other alterations to history, and discovered the football score in the World Cup had England scoring an extra goal against West Germany.

While the Doctor learnt from Charlotte Cobb that her husband, Peter Cobb, had mysteriously died after being followed by Lend-a-Hand girls, Rose went to Lend-a-Hand House and found that humans were also being converted into Lend-a-Hand girls. Travelling to Lend-a-Hand House, the Doctor discovered the Kustollon Igrix had travelled back in time, and planned to use Lend-a-Hand girls, initially made up of female humans, but later including biotechnology grown from Kustollon genestuff, to alter history so that humanity would be given whatever they desire and never venture out into space, and consequently never win a battle between Earth and Kustollia in 3046. Igrix' first major step was to destroy the Moon in 1966, preventing any staging post from which to break out into space. With the help of Peter's work on DNA resequencing, the Doctor created a virus containing genetic instructions from Rose in the form of perfume, which Rose threw at the Lend-a-Hand girls, making them humans with human instructions.

The Doctor and Rose climbed to the top of the Post Office Tower to stop Igrix using his spaceship to fire at the Moon. The Doctor did this by spraying the human virus at his biotech ship. The ship refused to take orders from Igrix and flew into space to explore and spend some "quality time" with Igrix. Setting history back on course, the Doctor used his sonic screwdriver to destroy the housing development, and make them start over and build Rose's future home. (COMIC: The Love Invasion)

The Doctor referees a football game between opposing WWI soldiers on Christmas ceasefire. (COMIC: The Forgotten)

The Doctor and Rose visited the Christmas truce of World War I, where the Doctor got the German and the British armies to play football on Christmas by using his psychic paper to pose as a FIFA referee, leading to a day of peace before they were forced to continue fighting. (COMIC: The Forgotten)

The Doctor and Rose next journeyed to Justicia in 2501, where they encountered the Blathereen, cousins of the Slitheen family, who were plotting to use the planet's sun to reduce other worlds to cinders to use as fuel. However, the Doctor managed to stop them with the remnants of the Slitheen family, whom he was unable to stop from stealing their rival's technology. (PROSE: The Monsters Inside)

The Doctor discovered an alien spaceship was trapped between real space and the Time Vortex, and investigating further led him and Rose to the house of Lord Farthingale in 1920. There, the Doctor overheard a detective, Dr. Merrivale Carr, had identified the murderer of two people in the house as the society hostess, Glenda Neil. The Doctor and Rose entered the room, explaining to the houseguests that "invisible aliens" were the real cause of death. A haze appeared in the house and another guest, Bart Faversham, was suddenly thrown into the fireplace.

After the guests reached safety, Rose explained that the trapped spaceship's engines were releasing an energy field that had been killing people in an attempt to move. The Doctor signalled the spaceship with the standard galactic code of the 455th century. As they were teleported on board, the Doctor and Rose discovered the ship's crew had died in the crash and the ship's computer had been moving on its own through an emergency program. The Doctor repaired the ship and he and Rose returned to the TARDIS on Earth. (PROSE: Doctor vs Doctor)

Soon after, the Doctor was asked to be a representative for an alien planet, but discovered the planet's "spokesperson", Akimus Makassar, was planning to take over the other visiting representatives' minds. The Doctor placed himself and Rose in a dreamscape to save them from Makassar and his army of Units. Escaping from the Units, the Doctor created a psychic projection of himself, which stole a Unit's mask and placed it over Makassar, trapping him in mental feedback. (PROSE: The Masks of Makassar)

The Doctor and Rose travelled to a Vandosian ship, saving Phil Tyson from execution by the Vandos Tribunal. While attempting to return Phil to Earth, the Doctor was told he was a reincarnation of Shogalath, whom the Vandosians claimed was a monster for toppling the Vandos Imperium. While escaping, Phil saved the Doctor and Rose from the Bailiffs and made it to the TARDIS. The Tribunal threatened to destroy Great Britain if Phil wasn't handed over to them. They fired, but due to the Doctor's earlier efforts, the ship backfired on itself. Returning Phil home, the Doctor explained that Shogalath was, in fact, the leader of a peaceful revolt against the Imperium. Phil departed their company with a new lease on life, seeking to make a good future for himself. (COMIC: Mr Nobody)

On a human colony planet, the Doctor and Rose were attacked by the rain, but Jack and Susie saved their life by bringing them into their shelter. The Doctor discovered the rain was a living creature with the ability to easily cleave through human flesh as it fell to the ground and it was killing off colonists in their downpour because the life form was being killed. He went outside, and persuaded the rain to stop, saving a family of colonists. With the family the last humans left of the devastated colony, the Doctor guided them home in their spaceship, and he also inspired their son, Andy, to become a space traveller. (PROSE: Pitter-Patter)

The Doctor took Rose to see the Mona Lisa at the grand opening of the Oriel, a transdimensional art gallery in the 37th century, only for the Doctor to find that all the humanoids in the gallery, including Rose, had been enslaved by an artist called Cazkelf. Cazkelf used the psychic energy of the visitors to send a distress signal to his people so he could return home, but the Doctor freed Rose and set up a feedback loop, returning the stolen psychic energy to its owners. The signal was still successfully sent, but Cazkelf's people did not arrive at the Oriel. The Doctor took Cazkelf to his homeworld, which had been devastated by a disaster. Afterwards, Cazkelf returned to Earth. Expecting to face consequences, the materialisation of the TARDIS before the visitors made them believe this was all part of a performance art piece. The Doctor advised Cazkelf to "delight and amaze" them. (COMIC: Art Attack)

The Doctor and Rose met Emily Brontë. (AUDIO: The Window on the Moor)

The Doctor took Rose on a cruise on 22nd century Mars, where the two were stowaways on the cruise ship holding a private wedding party of 143-year-old plutocrat Alvar Chambers. When Alvar ordered the Doctor to be thrown into the Martian sea, the Doctor's body was taken over by a body-stealing entity that ate people by feeding on their worst fears, putting them into a state where their identities would dissolve within it while they were dreaming. The entity tormented Rose with a nightmare of the Doctor coming back too late in Rose's life for her to be a companion and then sending it spiralling into ruins to spite her. Rose saw through the illusion and found the real Doctor trapped within the entity, tasking her with freeing its surviving victims while the Doctor dealt with the actual creature. As the creature required a stable image refracted in the air to sustain itself, the Doctor used the artificial air inside the cruise ship's air bubble to create a "tornado". (COMIC: The Cruel Sea)

Temporary association with Adam[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Doctor confronts the Metaltron Dalek. (TV: Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"])

Tracking a distress signal, the Doctor went to the Vault in 2012 Utah, where he found the Metaltron, a lone Dalek drone who'd survived the Time War and was being kept, amongst other alien artefacts, by Henry van Statten. Blaming the Dalek Empire for his suffering in the Time War and Gallifrey's "destruction", the Doctor took pleasure in torturing the Metaltron, even as it begged for pity. The Metaltron escaped by extrapolating Time Vortex radiation from Rose's DNA and, with no orders, chose to destroy everyone in sight. With the Vault staff slaughtered, the Doctor prepared to kill the Metaltron when it dropped its defences, but Rose stood in his way and showed him he was becoming the same as the Daleks. To the Doctor's shock, the Metaltron committed suicide due to its personality change making it deem itself an abomination.

Before departing, Rose asked the Doctor to invite Adam Mitchell, one of Van Statten's young employees who she had befriended, into the TARDIS as he had nowhere else to go. The Doctor left the TARDIS doors unlocked for Adam to wander inside as it dematerialised, (TV: Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"]) though his initial plan was to return Adam home. However, the TARDIS was knocked off course by a temporal tsunami and they arrived in Birmingham 2012 instead.

The Doctor was then forced to wait for twenty-eight years after being displaced to 1894 to catch up with Rose, who was herself sent to 1922. The Doctor ultimately discovered that the anomalies were the work of the Bygone Horde, a collection of echoes of races erased by the Time War who attempted to return to reality at the expense of the human race. Impressed by Adam's assistance in thwarting the Bygone Horde, the Doctor decided to take him on as a companion, setting a course for the far future. (AUDIO: The Other Side)

For Adam's first real trip, the Doctor took his two companions to the Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire to see the human race at its zenith. Pretending to be management on the news broadcaster, Satellite Five, the Doctor and his companions found the Empire had been manipulated into remaining secluded from the wider universe. Adam, suffering from severe culture shock, was left on his own.

Captured by the Editor, the Doctor and Rose found that the Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe had been controlling the human race from Satellite Five by manipulating information. Thanks to Cathica Santini Khadeni, one of the workers who learned of the truth, the satellite's heat was rerouted, sending heat to the Jagrafess's control room, freeing the Doctor and Rose and killing the Jagrafess and the Editor. Upon learning Adam was trying to learn about the future for his own gain, the Doctor evicted him from the TARDIS and took him home, leaving him with the forehead implant he got at Satellite Five as punishment. While Adam begged for another chance, the Doctor was unsympathetic to his plight. (TV: The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"])

Further adventures with Rose[[edit] | [edit source]]

This section's awfully stubby.

Info from Identity Check needs to be added

The Doctor is amazed by the sort of ordinary life that brought Stuart and Sarah together. (TV: Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"])

At Rose's request, the Doctor took her to her parents' wedding, after which she told him about her deceased father, Pete Tyler, and her desire to be with him as he died. The Doctor took her to the church where Stuart Hoskins and Sarah Clark were to be wed on 7 November, 1987, not far from where Pete died. After finding herself paralysed the first time, Rose crossed the path of her past self on her second attempt and saved Pete from a hit-and-run death. Rose's actions caused the TARDIS to be thrown off into the Time Vortex. Enraged by her actions, the Doctor suspected that she had only agreed to travel with him to save Pete and considered abandoning her in the past, though Rose insisted she had not planned it and the Doctor didn't go through with leaving Rose.

The Doctor, telling Rose and the wedding guests to rush inside the church, tried devising a way of stopping the Reapers that were attacking the Earth to seal off the paradox Rose had created. (TV: Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"]) Unbeknownst to him, someone was recording a wedding video. (PROSE: Essay Competition [+]Loading...["Essay Competition (short story)"]) He started working on a way to repair the damage to the universe while leaving Pete alive for Rose. He used his TARDIS key, which was still linked to the TARDIS' interior, to bring the TARDIS back. However, after Pete accidentally made Rose hold her infant self, the Doctor sacrificed himself to the Reaper brought by the paradox and the creature was zapped by the key, killing it, but also interrupting the TARDIS' return. The Doctor was restored to life when Pete let himself get hit by the car, and Rose managed to be there for her father when he passed. (TV: Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"])

Taking a break, the Doctor took Rose to a cafe in Paris, France in the year 1923. As they ate their food, the Doctor entertained Rose by playing with the salt and pepper shakers at their table. Three of his future incarnations watched him. (COMIC: Four Doctors) Taking Rose home once again, the Doctor saved the Powell Estate from Zargath and his invasion force by making it rain with the sonic screwdriver after Rose realised that Zargath's militia was allergic to water. (COMIC: Death to the Doctor!) The Doctor took Rose to meet Althea Bryce and explained their meeting in Krakatoa. When Rose recalled that she'd seen a sketch of him at Krakatoa before, the Doctor groaned that he had another part of history to fake. (AUDIO: Her Own Bootstraps)

At one point he dropped Rose off to a Spice Girls concert, wherein he wound up in Lichyrwick and helped a boy called Malcolm come ot terms with the death of his sister some time earlier. (AUDIO: The Lichyrwick Abomination)

The TARDIS was forced down to London because of the presence of two Shadeys from another dimension, who had brought Robert Greene, a rival playwright of William Shakespeare's, four hundred years into the future. After realising that Shakespeare was remembered in the future while Greene was not, Greene used the powers granted to him by the Shadeys, powered by his "negative energy", to spread rot across London. When the Shadeys discovered the Doctor's presence, they decided to toy with the Doctor by meddling with time and have Greene kill Shakespeare in 1592.

Going back in time to protect him, the Doctor briefly took over Shakespeare's position on stage in the role of Richard III in the play of the same name. In return for relinquishing the power of the Shadeys and saving the world, the Doctor and Rose promised to remember Greene, and Green banished the Shadeys, returning to his deathbed where he was dying of plague. (COMIC: A Groatsworth of Wit)

The Breebles wanted revenge on the Doctor after a previous run-in with him. Their plan involved abducting Rose and creating a robotic replica. The Doctor was put in a tough position when she escaped her captivity and he had the task of figuring out which of the two Roses were his human companion. He solves it by asking them both to recount their adventures together. As the robot's accounts were inaccurate, he deactivated it with his sonic screwdriver. (GAME: Robot Rose)

The Ninth Doctor teamed up with all of his other incarnations to save Gallifrey from destruction at the end of the Last Great Time War, (TV: The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["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: The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)"]) the Ninth Doctor lost all memory of the events due to the timelines not being synchronised. (TV: The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (TV story)"])

When the Doctor and Rose visited Piccadilly Circus in 1977, Rose decided to tamper with history by buying the Stranglers album her mother had wanted in her youth. Rose then snuck it into young Jackie's room amongst her other albums. During their next visit to the Powell Estate, Rose brought up the album and Jackie revealed she still had it, thinking it was a gift from Colin Bennett. While Rose was pleased by her actions, the Doctor pointed out how easily Colin Bennett could have married Jackie instead of Pete Tyler. (PROSE: The Red Bicycle) The Doctor and Rose then watched Elizabeth II's coronation on 2 June 1953, with the Doctor commenting that the occasion was "fantastic." (COMIC: Where's the Doctor?)

The Doctor travelled with Rose to the Zaggit Zagoo bar on Zog, where Rose mentioned that, when she was twelve, she begged her mother for a red bicycle for Christmas, but Jackie couldn't afford it. The Doctor left Rose at the bar and went back in time to buy her the bike. The Doctor bought the bicycle from Hildreth's, but it was soon stolen by Jinko, who wanted revenge on the Doctor for a previous defeat. The Doctor followed him back to his junkyard and used his sonic screwdriver to bring the whole place crashing down. The Doctor quickly grabbed the bicycle and left to deliver the bicycle to Rose's flat in time for Christmas morning. (PROSE: The Red Bicycle)

On a return trip to the Powell Estate, the Doctor, with Rose and Mickey's help, defeated the Quevvil, who were using video games to choose victims for their mind control missions into the bases of their enemies, the Mantodeans. (PROSE: Winner Takes All)

One night, the Doctor told Rose the story of the Tailor's son and Death. She commented that Death, when he was talking about people's deaths being fixed, sounded like him. (PROSE: The Knight, The Fool and The Dead)

The Doctor and Rose visited Jackie, who had become a very successful saleswoman on the Powell Estate selling Glubby Glubs: objects which helped people sleep for a full eight or nine hours. However, it turned out that the Glubby Glubs were taking energy from their users and passing it on to the seller. With Jackie's help, the Doctor stopped the corporation responsible and ended the Glubby Glub fad. (AUDIO: Retail Therapy)

Adam's revenge[[edit] | [edit source]]

An older, vengeful Adam Mitchell confronts the Doctor for kicking him out of the TARDIS. (COMIC: Mystery Date)

Feeling an incoming danger, the Doctor took Rose to Eleanora's monument, where they defeated the wealthiest man in the outer rim of the galaxy, Drake Ayelbourne of Altair VII, after he tried to take Rose. After Ayelbourne destroyed the monument, the Doctor and Rose were confronted by a cloaked figure, who revealed himself to be Adam Mitchell, who had sworn revenge on the Doctor after his mother had died from a brain illness because he could not use future technology to save her. After explaining his motivations, Adam rendered the pair unconscious, kidnapping Rose after he kicked the Doctor in the face. (COMIC: Mystery Date) The Doctor eventually regained consciousness and went off to save Rose, leaving a pool of his blood behind. (COMIC: The Choice)

Following a chronal trail left by the Eleventh Doctor as the Tenth Doctor merged their TARDISes, the Ninth Doctor joined his other incarnations as they stormed Adam's fortress in Limbo to save their friends from Adam and the Tremas Master. Adam had a change of heart when the Master attempted to destroy the eleven TARDISes by overloading them with the chronal energies he had stolen across the Doctor's timelines, which would destroy the universe as well.

Seeing that Adam was not intending to cause this level of destruction, the Ninth Doctor told him that this was his chance to prove him wrong over his past mistakes, and Adam turned against the Master, stopping his attempt at causing a cataclysm by blowing up the console controlling the release of chronal energies, but this act left him right in the fray of the resulting explosion. He died moments after the Master fled, forgiven by the Doctors. The Ninth Doctor mourned Adam's death alongside his other incarnations and honoured him as a true companion on his memorial that they erected to remember him by. (COMIC: Endgame)

The Kotturuh crisis[[edit] | [edit source]]

After the TARDIS fell through a Time Fracture, (COMIC: Tales of the Dark Times) the Doctor and Rose arrived on a shadow planetoid during the Eternal War, where they were captured by Space Lord forces led by Rassilon. Upon realising he had arrived in the Dark Times, the Doctor attempted to flee with Rose during an attack from the Cucurbites, but Rose was snatched by a primordial class vampire, so the Doctor instead assisted the Gallifreyan forces in neutralising the Cucurbites. Making an ally of the scientist Androkan, he and the Doctor stole Rassilon's flier to pursuit Rose, and found her on a coffin ship, but were quickly captured by the vampires, who kept the Doctor alive for information, while Androkan was killed by an acolyte of the Three Mad Sisters, Friar Grystok.

Grystock took the Doctor before the Sisters, who had turned Rose into a vampire, but she had also beaten them and then made to attack the Doctor as an attack of Gallifreyan forces enabled him to gain the upper hand and send her to sleep. Assisted by a vampire slave Rose had befriended named Centia, the Doctor managed to escape the battle after convincing a leading vampire named Drogann to use the attack to gain freedom, giving him a synth-blood that enabled all the vampire slaves aboard to break their addictions and rebel against their masters. He also gave the substance to Rose, but she needed longer to recover, so the Doctor left her on a "cosy little moon" in Centia's care, (COMIC: Monstrous Beauty) while he stayed with the Free Undead as they searched for a place to settle and he investigated the Dark Times further until his search led him and the Free Undead to Mordeela. (PROSE: All Flesh is Grass)

Aboard the coffin ship, the Ninth Doctor, alongside the Eighth Doctor, confronted his next incarnation's mercenary fleet. They attempted to persuade him to stop his attack on the Kotturuh, but he dismissed them as illusions and ordered his fleet to fire, (PROSE: The Knight, The Fool and The Dead) destroying Mordeela. In the ensuing Battle of Mordeela, the Ninth Doctor watched as the Vampires ineffectively fired on the mercenary ships, and eventually asked Ikalla if they could "pitch in" more after the Daleks were forced back by Brian the Ood, but was horrified when the Bloodsmen she unleashed killed the fleet's crew and brought them back to feed on. While he was able to negotiate a cease fire with his other incarnations in a telepathic contact, the Ninth Doctor was unable to make his forces stand down, and the Tenth Doctor escaped in his flagship, the only surviving ship of his fleet, in the confusion.

In the weeks after the Battle, the Doctor continued to help the vampires search for a planet to settle on. (PROSE: All Flesh is Grass) Accompanied by Ikalla, the Doctor visited the inhospitable planet Parvanna, where he and Ikalla were hunted by an invisible creature, which the Doctor kept at bay by keeping a sonic stake alight until they were collected by their ship. (COMIC: Tales of the Dark Times) When the coffin ship was attacked by the Daleks, the Doctor was saved by his eighth incarnation, who had already alerted the vampires to escape, but found that he had to take the Eighth Doctor with him in his TARDIS to flee the Daleks. (PROSE: All Flesh is Grass) Together, the two Doctors went in search of their tenth incarnation on the planet Hoolan, where they discovered a malfunctioning time machine bridging the future to the Dark Times after its pilot had attempted to witness the Big Bang. They fixed her time machine and sent her back to her home time period. (COMIC: Tales of the Dark Times)

The Doctors eventually found their tenth incarnation on Entranxis, where they interrupted his meeting with the Death Brokers to rescue Ikalla, who the Brokers had captured after the Dalek attack on the coffin ship. The Daleks and the Kotturuh then attacked Entanxis, and the Ninth Doctor helped Ikalla escape to his TARDIS to rendezvous with his other incarnations aboard the Tenth Doctor's flagship. However, angered by their lack of concern for the dying Kotturuh, he set off with Ikalla to gather information to help them, eventually arriving on Birinji, where they met Inyit, the last of the Kotturuh. After his other incarnations destroyed the Dalek scout ship sent to kill Inyit, the Doctor learnt that the Daleks were planning to destroy Gallifrey in the Dark Times, and helped mounted a defence of Gallifrey, leaving Ikalla to look after Inyit. However, even with the Free Undead, the Doctors were unable to stop the Daleks' army of undead drones with Symbiont DNA, so prepared to collide the flagship with the saucer, in the hopes of the ensuing paradox wiping out the Daleks, but were prevented from doing so when Inyit used her final judgement to wipe out the Symbiont and the hybrids, ending the Daleks' assault as they panicked, fearing the judgement may spread to pure Dalek DNA, allowing the Eighth Doctor to sneak aboard and force the saucer into the Time Vortex. After the Tenth Doctor left the Dark Times, (PROSE: All Flesh is Grass) the Ninth Doctor collected Rose and they left the Dark Times together. (COMIC: Monstrous Beauty)

Meeting Captain Jack Harkness[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Doctor follows Nancy, trying to question her about the mysterious boy. (TV: The Empty Child [+]Loading...["The Empty Child (TV story)"])

The Doctor tracked a strange artefact to 1941 London, where, after Rose had wandered off, (TV: The Empty Child [+]Loading...["The Empty Child (TV story)"]) much to his annoyance, (PROSE: The Companion's Lament) he discovered the TARDIS phone ringing; on the other side, there was a boy asking for his mother. Investigating further, he followed Nancy, a homeless young woman who was feeding homeless children by stealing from people's meals that were left fresh on their tables, as they hid during air raids. She was being chased by a child in a gas mask who was terrifying her and seemed to be endangering people. Nancy told the Doctor the "bomb that wasn't a bomb" landed near Limehouse Green station. Following Nancy's advice, the Doctor went to the nearby Albion Hospital. There, he found living dead creatures, with gas masks fused to their face, and identical symptoms, including a scar on the hand in the same place as the child that pursued Nancy.

Captain Jack Harkness, who had found Rose, tracked down the Doctor, thinking he and Rose were members of the Time Agency, and revealed the object was a Chula ambulance, which Jack himself had used to attract one of the agency as part of a con to sell half of the object right before a German bomb hit it, instead bringing the attention of the Doctor and Rose. (TV: The Empty Child [+]Loading...["The Empty Child (TV story)"]) Jack teleported the Doctor and Rose to his ship, and they went to the bomb site near the hospital, where they realised the truth; Nanogenes in the ambulance had reanimated a dead boy and, due to their unfamiliarly with humans, had spread the Empty Child virus. The ambulance started its emergency protocols, calling in the creatures, who were ready to "tear the world apart" to find the boy's mother.

Every patient and soldier at the bombsite converged on the Doctor, Rose, Nancy and Jack. The Doctor fixed the nanogenes' mistakes by comparing the DNA of the child and Nancy, who was his mother, restoring the infected zombies to normal. Jack stopped the bomb from hitting the bombsite by placing it in stasis inside his warship and when everyone got to safety, the Doctor destroyed the ambulance, making sure that history said that a bomb hit that location. The Doctor rescued Jack from his Chula warship just before it exploded, taking him aboard the TARDIS as his latest companion. (TV: The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"])

A TARDIS trio[[edit] | [edit source]]

After Jack answered a distress signal coming into the TARDIS, the trio found themselves in early 21st century Russia. After telling the soldiers present that they had orders to be there, they discovered a missing girl who had aged considerably. Taking the girl and a similarly aged body to the nearby research institute, the Doctor asked Rose to investigate the local village while he and Catherine Kornilova, a student at the research institute, studied samples of the standing stones the body was found in. They discovered that the samples aged both their hands, though the Doctor's recovered quickly due to his DNA not being "close enough" to the strain it collects life force from.

Meeting up with Rose and Jack, they went to an abandoned ship which had crashed and had been tampered with to collect energy from humans rather than wind and solar. Evading blue blob creatures attempting to power up the ship, the Doctor was able to thwart their plans and drain the ship's power completely, powering the creatures down. (PROSE: The Deviant Strain)

The Doctor intended to take Rose and Jack to the planet Kegron Pluva, but instead arrived in 2005 Bromley to investigate a time distortion, where he encountered Das, a Neanderthal who was transported from 29,185 BC to 2005 by a rip engine; a crude method of time travel that prevented anyone who used it from travelling in time again. Unable to return Das to his native time zone, the Doctor and Rose left him in 2005 with Jack and travelled to 29,185 BC to investigate further, where they encountered a genius named Chantal Osterberg, who intended to wipe out humanity and replace it with Hy-Bractors. After stopping Chantal, the Doctor and Rose reunited with Jack, who had spent a month introducing Das to the ways of modern life, and resumed their travels together. (PROSE: Only Human)

Revisiting an old adventure[[edit] | [edit source]]

According to one account, the Doctor, travelling with Jack, met Rose during an Auton invasion on Earth. Together, the three stopped the invasion using cabbages to knock the transmitters powering the Autons down, and then celebrated with tea inside the TARDIS. (PROSE: Dr. Ninth)

Memory fiasco[[edit] | [edit source]]

This section's awfully stubby.

Info from Slaver's Song, Secret Agent Man, & The Bidding War needs to be added

The Doctor is confronted by the Lect. (COMIC: Weapons of Past Destruction)

The Doctor wanted to take Rose and Jack to Excroth, only to find the planet destroyed, and them captured by the Lect, who demanded to know why the travellers had come to the Excroth System. As a squadron of armoured Unon attacked the ship, the Doctor attempted to lead Rose and Jack back to the TARDIS, but the three were intercepted by a group of Lect. Jack blasted off one of the Lect's arm so the three could escape in the TARDIS, though Jack and the Doctor inadvertently left without Rose as the ship exploded.

The Doctor and Jack tracked Rose down to the Fluren Temporal Bazaar on Fluren's World, a black market for time weapons, where they found Rose, who had been stuck there for four days after she fell through the Vortex with a tachyon inhibitor protecting her from the time winds until Glom picked her up with his ship's time scoops. The Doctor recognised Glom's weapons as being from Gallifrey and flipped Glom's table in anger. In an attempt to attract the Unon, the Doctor announced to the crowd that he was offering his Time Lord mind for sale, but was transmitted aboard the Lect ship instead.

When the Unon arrived and fought off the Lect, the Doctor attempted to talk to them, but was teleported to meet the Unon Mother Superior, Arnora, in a sub-dimensional void. The Doctor agreed to co-operate with the Unon in return for his TARDIS being retrieved. After reuniting with Jack, the Doctor and Jack fixed a time fissure on Traxis using a temporal stabiliser. The Doctor was contacted by Rose for his coordinates, which he gave to her, only to find that she had joined up with the Lect and led their armada to the Unon's Perpetual City.

When the Doctor was taken aboard the Lect command ship by Rose, he learned that the Lect were Excrothian survivors who wanted revenge on the Unon for destroying Excroth with a entropy engine for their time travel experiments. Realising that history would repeat itself, the Doctor decided to take the Lect leader, Prelon Marleth, to destroy the entropy engine and the Unon with it, telling a disagreeing Rose that it was "[Marleth's] war, [and] his choice." However, Marleth was shot by Arnora before he could ignite the engine, so the Doctor threatened to do it himself if the Unon refused to surrender. He was then saved by Jack and the Unon Grand High Seer, Evja, from an attack from behind, but could not stop the engine's meltdown, or Marleth and Arnora from killing each other. Taking as many as he could, the Doctor took Evja and the Unon to a new planet for a fresh start. (COMIC: Weapons of Past Destruction)

The Doctor took Rose and Jack to the Eye of Orion, but found a giant ziggurat and the Hanging Gardens of Slarvia, which had been destroyed centuries before. The Doctor used his sonic screwdriver to discover a ship in orbit, which transmatted them on board and brought them face to face with Taggani, the most famous geohacker in history. After lamenting about Taggani's use of his helmet, an Aesirian world-shaper, to overrun the planet Campra with Argurian creepers, Taggani used it to form a mind-link with the Doctor. After discovering he was the same Time Lord who put his mind up for auction on Fluren's World, Taggani planned on using the Doctor's memories to recreate everything lost in the Time War.

However, the Doctor was able to enter Taggani's mind at the same time and discover that he was Brian Carrios, an art historian from the Braxiatel Collection who was expelled for being unable to spot a forgery. The Doctor used the world-shaper to broadcast Taggani's true identity on the side of the planet, before transmatting himself, Rose, and Jack back down to the surface. As Judoon ships from the Shadow Proclamation closed in on Taggani's ship, Rose pointed out that Jack's face remained on the side of the moon. (COMIC: Hacked)

When the Cybermen allied with Rassilon to take over history, the Doctor, Rose and Jack rescued Jackie during a Cyberman invasion in 2006. Having been robbed of the TARDIS, they used a stolen flyer to break the base of the Cybermen's operation, where they attempted to regain control of the TARDIS, only to have the console explode, activating the Cloister Bell. The TARDIS began imploding on itself to protect the Earth from its engines exploding, so the group evacuated to the flyer, where its shields were still up. During the chaos, Rose was partially cyber-converted and killed Jack. With Jackie safely in the shields of the flyer, the Doctor attempted to use his sonic screwdriver to confront the Cybermen and figure out how they converted Rose so fast, discovering an airborne element that cyber-converted his screwdriver into his hand, and began spreading up his arm. Leaving Jackie in the shield that would soon reject him, the Doctor attempted to return to the imploding TARDIS to collapse its containment field and allow the Eye of Harmony to rupture, destroying the Cyberman occupied Earth with it. Before it could, the Doctor and Jackie discovered that the energy had been syphoned away, before everything reverted to normal. Still able to remember the events when everyone else forgot, the Doctor looked on sombrely as Rose and Jackie embraced each other, contemplating what had happened. (COMIC: Supremacy of the Cybermen)

Escaping to the TARDIS after planting temporal beacons, the Doctor, Rose and Jack received a video from what appeared to be Jack on the planet Gharusa Prime. Answering the call, the Doctor was bombarded by Yani Mamora and other admirers upon arrival and was shocked to learn that an impostor was hailed as a celebrity on a show called Doctor Who?, before being attacked by fake Chumblies and being "rescued" by "the Doctor". He and Jack were arrested for impersonating the "real" Doctor, while Rose snuck off and discovered the other Doctor to be Slist Fayflut Marteveerthon Slitheen wearing a skin suit based off the Doctor from Fluren's World. She planned on attending a peace conference on Clix, as the Raxas Alliance was on the brink of war. Slist then kidnapped Rose to act as her companion.

The Doctor, held for interrogation, was quickly released by Estiva, who suspected Slist was the true imposter. Reuniting with Jack, the Doctor took off to search for Rose and Slist but gave Estiva a message to pass along to Yani, apologising for brushing her off earlier. The pair tracked Rose to Clix and wore Raxacoricofallapatorian skin suits to traverse the forests of Clix in disguise. The Doctor mounted a Clixian spineback named Tiddles and brought the group back to the peace conferences, where they intercepted the plot to sabotage the conference. The Doctor and his companions then departed to the TARDIS, leaving Tiddles behind as he did not want to bring a pet along. The Doctor then received a phone call from Mickey Smith in 2016. (COMIC: Doctormania)

Answering the call, the Doctor met Mickey in 2016 San Francisco, and learned that Mickey had been trying to call his next incarnation for help after his wife, Martha Jones, had turned into a gargoyle. The Doctor discovered that a wormhole was passing through the city, which, coupled with the city's previous history, had caused nearby humans to mutate. The Doctor and Mickey followed the wormhole back to Shirov-three, and discovered that Glom was behind the creation of the wormhole. The Doctor drove a large tourist bus through the wormhole when it was at maximum capacity, collapsing it whilst also sending him back to San Francisco. The destruction of the wormhole reversed the human mutations. The Doctor then called Glom on his phone and blackmailed him into launching a rescue mission for the stranded alien tourists. (COMIC: The Transformed)

Tracking a gargoyle straggler, the Doctor, Jack and Rose found themselves on Earth, in the late 20th century, where they met Tara Mishra, who later revealed herself to be a UNIT soldier. They went back to the UNIT research base, where they met the Brigadier. After their adventure, the trio discovered Tara stowed away on the Doctor's TARDIS to come along as a companion. (COMIC: Official Secrets)

The Doctor was sent to the Hesguard Institute following the alleged murder of Tara, (COMIC: Slaver's Song) in reality a ruse to allow him to investigate the inner workings of the facility after seeing news of former patients committing worse atrocities than before. He was placed under the Bad Wolf Process, meant to drain all of his negative emotions and thoughts into a vessel known as a Sin-Eater. The resulting creation of a Sin-Eater modelled after the Doctor soon proved destructive, as, due to the Doctor's telepathic abilities, the Sin-Eater developed a mind of its own and began rampaging throughout the facility with malicious glee, eventually granting the other Sin-Eaters sentience. Soon after, the Doctor reunited with Rose and Tara and transported them to the Matryoshka drive, the source of energy running the Institute. He lured his Sin-Eater there, who began feeding on the Doctor's life energy, but was soon sent into the Matryoshka drive via a teleport slipped onto him by the Doctor. Jettisoning the drive into the Void, the trio made their narrow escape to an examiner shuttle as the facility dissolved in the face the time storm surrounding it. As Tara and Rose discussed their dubious victory, the Doctor piloted their shuttle in silence. (COMIC: Sin-Eaters)

The TARDIS was pulled out of the Time Vortex by a tractor beam and forced into landing so that the Doctor could be a guest on Slist Fayflut Marteveerthon Slitheen's talk show, The Slist Show Christmas Special. After verifying that Rose and Tara were safe and in the audience, the Doctor was alarmed to learn that Slist brought him on her show as a guest to bury the hatchet with General Yolaktorin of the Retjarvik-Sattavarian, who was shot through a rift after their regime was toppled by the Doctor.

As the General lunged towards the Doctor, he fell to his knees in pain as his makeup began burning him under the lights. Rushing to his side, the Doctor, commanded the lights to be shut off, used his sonic screwdriver to turn on the snow machine, burying the General and stopping his burning. The Doctor revealed that the General butchered most of the Chapadio race and that this was a set up by to get her revenge on him. The Doctor then addressed Slist's audience, told them to have a family argument rather than watch television on Christmas, and shut down TVs across the galaxy with his screwdriver. (PROSE: Christmas Special)

Battling the Void[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Ninth Doctor meets his future incarnation. (COMIC: The Lost Dimension)

Sending Jack to pick Tara up off of Nomicae while he took Rose to see Horlak to "fix" her after she saw herself become a Cyberman in an alternate reality, the Doctor took the TARDIS under the Pacific Ocean in 1886, but the crew of Madame Vastra's ship hauled the TARDIS onboard their ship. After Vastra and Jenny introduced themselves to Rose, they explained that they were on the search for Silurian survivors, an idea the Doctor quickly dismissed, arousing Vastra's suspicions. Vastra began to confront the Doctor about his secret-keeping after Rose mentioned him bringing her to see a "guru with three eyes", but was cut off when the ship was attacked by a Myrka. The survivors washed up on the shore of an island where they were surrounded by Silurians, who incapacitated Vastra and brought the rest to Horlak., who explained that Rose's mind was fractured with memories of an erased timeline, and sought to have her healed before she had a psychotic break.

As Horlak began healing her, Rose heard Jack's voice calling out, setting up a psychic projection through Horlak. The Doctor was shocked to learn that the Fourth Doctor, there with Jack and K9, set up the projection to tell his ninth incarnation that the universe was being devoured, but was disrupted when Vastra and Jenny arrived. Furious with one another, the Doctor admitted to Vastra that the Silurians on the island were voluntarily quarantined by the Sixth Doctor, as they had a disease that affected other Silurians. Soon after, several of those present were corrupted by energy from the Void, but the Doctor quickly modified a Silurian gun to release those under the influence. Receiving another message from his past as he made to leave, the Doctor quickly dropped Vastra and Jenny back in London, leaving Rose behind with them to keep her safe.

The Ninth Doctor arrived at St Luke's University in 2017 in time to rescue his tenth and twelfth incarnations, along with Jenny, Bill Potts, and Nardole, from a mob of infected students, explaining that he was instructed to find them by their fourth incarnation. Fighting alongside Jenny using his modified Silurian gun, the Doctor and his future incarnations were soon distracted by a white hole opening up in the sky. The Ninth Doctor led his successors and their companions into his TARDIS after a corrupted Kate Stewart destroyed his gun, and the group learned that all thirteen versions of the TARDIS had fused into one. Following the arrival of the Eighth Doctor and Josie Day, who had managed to break out of the Void with aid from the other trapped Doctors, the Ninth Doctor helped to repair Jenny's bowship to take it into the Void and fix the crisis at its source.

Leaving the Eighth Doctor and their companions behind, the Twelfth Doctor flew Jenny's ship into the white hole with his ninth and tenth incarnations, where they established contact with their predecessors before discovering the source of the anomaly was the Eleventh Doctor, merged with a Type 1 TARDIS that fell out of reality; the Eleventh Doctor connected with it via a telepathic circuit, but only accomplished scaring the TARDIS into attempting to seek peace by destroying the chaotic universe. The four Doctors concocted a plan to allow every incarnation of their TARDIS to speak with the Type 1, persuading it to jettison all it consumed and close up the white holes. Arriving back on Earth, the Ninth Doctor agreed to take Jenny back home and return his eighth, tenth, and eleventh incarnations and their companions back to their respective TARDISes. (COMIC: The Lost Dimension)

Final adventures[[edit] | [edit source]]

This section's awfully stubby.

Info from The Stealers of Dreams needs to be added

During one adventure, the Doctor, Jack and Rose ate Kronkburgers together. While collecting them, Jack stopped River Song from assassinating the Doctor. (AUDIO: R&J)

The Doctor dines with Blon before she's scheduled to be executed. (TV: Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"])

Taking the TARDIS to 2006 Cardiff so that it could refuel via a scar in the rift that was closed by Gwyneth, the Doctor and his two companions, joined by Mickey, enjoyed some downtime in town before seeing that Blon, the sole Slitheen survivor of the attack on Downing Street, had become Lord Mayor of Cardiff. They concocted a plan to capture her and bring her to justice. Though Blon tried fleeing, the Doctor reversed her teleportation device several times until she gave up and took her prisoner aboard the TARDIS until he could return her to Raxacoricofallapatorius to face execution after her family had already been sentenced to death in their absence. The Doctor confiscated her extrapolator to use as a "power-booster" on the TARDIS and took her to a restaurant for dinner as her last request.

After he remained unmerciful towards her, Blon tried to tear the TARDIS and the Earth apart by making the extrapolator lock onto an alien power source that was refuelling on the rift, using the extrapolator as an interstellar surfboard to escape the Earth. However, the damage she caused to the ship opened the heart of the TARDIS, which turned her into a Slitheen egg. Realising Blon had a second chance in life, the Doctor decided to drop her off in the hatchery on her homeworld. (TV: Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"])

In 23rd century New Vegas, the Doctor, Jack and Rose investigated the ruthless vigilante the Whisper, with Rose and Jack going undercover. During the investigation, the Doctor received a message from his future self via an electronic billboard that he had to make sure Police Chief McNeil survived. They discovered that the Whisper had been created by McNeil to combat crime boss Wolfsbane, not realising how lethal a vigilante it would become. They attempted to talk it down from killing Wolfsbane, resulting in him stabbing it. The Doctor helped McNeil arrest Wolfsbane, ensuring he survived. (AUDIO: Night of the Whisper)

Travelling to the Battle of Minatogawa, the Doctor, Rose and Jack found a Volsci ship. When the Doctor's attempt to awaken the Volsci from hibernation revealed that many had died due to being in their hibernation chambers for too long, the lone surviving Volsci tried to self-destruct the ship to prevent the Volsci technology ending up in Japanese hands, but the Doctor convinced her to instead pilot the ship back to her home. (COMIC: Return of the Volsci)

Last stand on Satellite 5[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Doctor realises he is on Big Brother. (TV: Bad Wolf [+]Loading...["Bad Wolf (TV story)"])

Immediately after leaving 1336 Japan, the Doctor, Rose and Jack were teleported to the Game Station to be put in deadly versions of TV game shows. After escaping Big Brother alongside a contestant called Lynda Moss, the Doctor met up with Jack and they raced to save Rose from The Weakest Link, hosted by a deadly Anne Droid; they were unsuccessful in preventing the Anne Droid from seemingly killing Rose. Completely broken, the Doctor, along with Jack and Lynda, was arrested for breaking in and out of the games. However, he and Jack physically overpowered the guards and set off to stop the "entertainment".

Taking hostages in the control room, Jack found the TARDIS stowed away in an archive room. Using the TARDIS, Jack discovered the laser that "killed" the games' losers was teleporting them across space. Puzzled, the Doctor discovered that the Game Station was unknowingly broadcasting a secondary signal to an empty location of space, which was where all the losers ended up. Disabling the signal, the Doctor and Jack were horrified to find two hundred Dalek battleships. Establishing contact, the Doctor learned the Daleks had taken Rose hostage but promised to rescue her and destroy the Daleks. (TV: Bad Wolf [+]Loading...["Bad Wolf (TV story)"])

The Doctor and Jack flew the TARDIS straight into the Dalek command ship and rescued Rose. However, the Doctor soon discovered the Dalek Emperor had also survived the Last Great Time War, and had been shaping humanity for many centuries, converting the contestants into Daleks for its army. Knowing his fight against the Daleks was suicidal, the Doctor sent a reluctant Rose back home in the TARDIS, while he and Jack gathered a possible resistance consisting of gameshow contestants and operatives. The Doctor built a delta wave generator, a device that would "fry the brain stems of every living thing within a thousand miles of the satellite", but was not able to perfect it to work only on Daleks.

After the resistance, including Lynda and Jack, were all killed, the Doctor was unable to bring himself to destroy the Daleks and the Earth with the delta wave generator, proudly telling the Dalek Emperor that he would rather be "a coward" than a killer. Resigning himself to being exterminated by the surrounding Daleks, the Doctor was shocked to find that Rose had opened the heart of the TARDIS and become the Bad Wolf. Having absorbed the energy of the Time Vortex into herself, she brought the TARDIS to the Game Station and scattered all the Daleks and the Emperor's atoms into dust, ending the Daleks' plot.

Knowing that Rose would burn up if she kept so much power in her body, the Doctor drew the Time Vortex from her body and into his own with a kiss, before sending it back into the heart of the TARDIS. He then took an unconscious Rose into the TARDIS, abandoning a resurrected Jack on the deserted Game Station (TV: The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"]) after Rose had accidentally converted him into an immortal fixed point in time. (TV: Utopia [+]Loading...["Utopia (TV story)"])

Knowing that his possession of the vortex energy had caused cellular damage to his body, (TV: The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"]) the Doctor looked back on his life, deciding what was "fantastic", and that it "meant a lot". (PROSE: Shortness of Breath) He told Rose how he had wanted to take her to "so many places", such as the planet Barcelona. Trying his best to explain that he was about to regenerate, the Doctor told Rose that they had both been "fantastic", and then regenerated into his next incarnation. (TV: The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"])

Post-mortem[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Ninth Doctor helps face Es'Cartrss . (COMIC: The Forgotten)

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

When under attack by an age-regression gun, the Tenth Doctor briefly retro-regenerated into his ninth incarnation. Appearing to be in pain from the process, he briefly warned Dorothy Bell against struggling with the age-regression gun before the effects wore off and the Tenth Doctor re-emerged. (COMIC: The Fountains of Forever)

During many failed attempts to duplicate the Tenth Doctor, defective copies of all his past incarnations, including the Ninth Doctor, were created instead. (COMIC: Breakfast at Tyranny's)

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 Ninth Doctor, interrogating him over the crimes.

When the Then and the Now attempted to ingest the Eleventh Doctor's timeline, the Doctor briefly retro-regenerated back into his tenth and ninth incarnations, but the Then and the Now's attack was thwarted by the presence of the War Doctor, due to him being an "X-rated" period of his life that the Doctor resisted. (COMIC: Outrun)

When the Eleventh Doctor was attacked by the Then and the Now on Lujhimene, the Ninth Doctor was among the faces seen as the Doctor's timeline was almost destroyed. (COMIC: Running to Stay Still)

When the Eleventh Doctor entered into the T'keyn Nexus to defend himself, Matrix projections of his previous incarnations, including the Ninth Doctor, appeared inside it to defend themselves as well. After listening to his predecessors defend themselves, the Ninth Doctor was quick to point out that auditor Sondrah was more interested in the Doctor than the planet he was meant to audit, a sentiment that the Tenth Doctor agreed on. When the Eleventh Doctor began to deduce Sondrah's true identity, the past Doctors faded away as Oscar Wilde interfered with the Nexus. (COMIC: Dead Man's Hand)

Undated adventures[[edit] | [edit source]]

Encounters by the readers of Doctor Who?[[edit] | [edit source]]

Clive Finch put an open call on his website in early March, 2005, for his readers to report their encounters of the Doctor. Hundreds of people gave their accounts of the Doctor, mostly seeing him travelling alone, but several also met Rose.

His solo encounters included: a visit to a hospital and giving Doris Spelgar a cup of tea; bumping into trampus and not apologising; meeting Aaron Smith in a department store; going to HMV to look at drum and bass CDs and getting advice from Geoff Cliff; buying a tin of cosmos blue paint from B&Q; hijacking the 68 to Bolton; talking to a giraffe at Chester Zoo; saying something in Arabic to a shopkeeper; writing a sequence of numbers, 23 6 801, on a wall; getting Andrew Wooding and his class to paint their dreams; posing as an independent consultant at a council; rescuing two children from lizard people; buying a battery for his mobile phone; visiting the Los Angeles fashion district; posing for a photograph with a group of Irish immigrants in 1892; stealing a Spad XIII from a base in Foggia during the First World War; advising Stephen Norris against being friends with Anthony Wallenda or supporting Liverpool; being the best man at the wedding of Dave Tonbridge's parents; appearing in the background of a photo David Grant's father during his time in the army; defacing "definitive" works about the creation of the universe in the British Library Cosmology Section; defacing biographies in the York Central Library; meeting JR's mum in 1977; buying an issue of Heat from a newsagents; fishing near Trent Bridge; arguing with the Seventh Doctor on a university campus; getting kicked off a train as his season ticket wasn't valid until 2009; appearing in photographs taken of Victoria; trying to buy a cup of tea from a café in Cambridge with non-legal tender 10p pieces; attempting to save an old cinema in Salford from being pulled down; being pictured in an article about UFO sightings published in a newspaper in New Zealand in 1978; retrieving a large silver metal ball from Mornington Crescent underground station; visiting the Louvre; visiting a police station in Wetherby; talking about early reggae records with "Eddie Duggan" in Prague; and protesting for the West Pier in Brighton to be saved; meeting rewboss in Berlin in 1989 and in Wolverhampton in 1991; vanishing behind Lonnie Donegan during his performance of "Putting On The Donegan"; apologising to Xandra Lenea-Ashford; possibly appearing on Survivor; saving a child from being hit by a VW Beetle; being present for an explosion in a school's boiler room; and getting shot by an Allied soldier during the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp.

The Doctor was also seen travelling with Rose: Matt was knocked over by the Doctor and Rose while they were running and shouting; he begrudgingly bought spam and corned beef from a supermarket for Rose; and he returned a cache of Tudor parchments that cast Henry VIII's right to the throne so Rose wouldn't be put on the rack. The Ninth Doctor visited Big Ben in late 2004, laughing at the later fate of Big Ben (PROSE: Have You Seen This Man?) as it would be heavily damaged on 6 March 2006 when the Slitheen craft crashed into it. (TV: Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"], PROSE: Operation London, etc.)

In the aftermath of the 2005 Dummy Massacre, Mickey Smith, the site's new owner, received a number of responses when he put out a request for sightings of the then missing Rose. SharonValerii saw Rose outside of University the other day, seeming a bit preoccupied alongside the Ninth Doctor. Artie D reported that Rose looked like a girl he entirely failed to get off with at a party in Islington since she "swan off" after this other chap came up and said something about a different planet. David Mc Giveron, whilst on an outing to the Lake District met Rose in an abandoned quarry, asking him if he had seen the Doctor before running off. bobby spotted Rose, the Doctor and the TARDIS in the Bayeaux Tapestry. Alexander saw Rose and the Doctor walking towards the TARDIS in an old family wedding photo from the 1920s. (PROSE: The Doctor Was Involved in the Dummy Massacre)

Further sightings were reported when the site revealed a photograph of the Doctor and Rose with Charles Dickens. Natasha Richardson saw the Doctor and Rose under the clock in Guildford, noting that the Doctor had changed his jumper. Cara and Matt spotted the Doctor and Rose whilst on holiday in Margate in 2005, appearing to investigate a large, suspicious-looking sand castle. Reginald Jones claimed that, as he posted, he was stalling the Doctor who sitting in the other room, supposedly disconnecting the antenna from his television, after offering him a spot of tea. Reginald saw no sign of Rose and was afraid to ask. timetunnel saw the Doctor and Rose hanging around the Great Tower of London, which the Doctor was looking around. Polly saw the Doctor in Eastbourne, who told her that she would not be there for long; indeed, Polly was now living in Cardiff. suresh kumar saw the Doctor and Rose ordering a hamburger at Tasy Bite on Kingsley Road in Hounslow. Brandon Lightloafer saw the Doctor and Rose at the Goat pub in the town of Berkhamsted, muttering something about saving the town castle from being destroyed. nu reported a sighting at Dundee. Alex of Dundee reported seeing the Doctor at the railway station that day, saying that the train had not been this late since the the bridge fell down. Richard Kyanka was asked by the Doctor if he had stairs in his house. Richard answered that he did not and the Doctor told Richard that he was protected; Richard had no idea what he meant. kayley reported a sighting at Bognor Regis Pier. (PROSE: Rose sighting confirmed)

Shortly following the London UFO crash, JH reported that the Doctor had been in Glasgow for at least the last six months, claiming to see him regularly near the blue police box on Buchanan Street. (PROSE: Alien landing confirmed)

After Mickey posted a picture of a Slitheen, Skeith recalled getting lost looking for their dad whilst on a family holiday to England. Wandering through the streets, Skeith turned a corner and saw something that looked like Mickey's picture, taking off before barrelling into a man who they thought might have been the Doctor. He pointed Skeith in the right direction and suggested that they spend the next day or so in their hotel room. Skeith did not argue. (PROSE: Hoax This!)

Legacy[[edit] | [edit source]]

Having been abandoned by the Ninth Doctor, (TV: The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"] Captain Jack Harkness spent over a century on Earth waiting for his return, suggesting to Gwen Cooper that the "right sort of doctor" would explain his immortality. (TV: Everything Changes [+]Loading...["Everything Changes (TV story)"]) He later admitted to Gwen that, while he experienced no visions tempting him to open the Rift, the "right kind of Doctor" would have convinced him. (TV: End of Days [+]Loading...["End of Days (TV story)"]) Shortly after, he discovered the Tenth Doctor, having regenerated, (TV: Utopia [+]Loading...["Utopia (TV story)"]) and it was in this incarnation that he would eventually meet Gwen. (TV: The Stolen Earth [+]Loading...["The Stolen Earth (TV story)"])

The Tenth Doctor admitted to Martha Jones that the Cardiff Earthquake was down to "a bit of trouble with the Slitheen", adding that it was "lifetimes" ago and he was a "different man back then". (TV: Utopia [+]Loading...["Utopia (TV story)"])

During the 1851 incident, the Tenth Doctor used the infostamps to project records of his first ten, numbered incarnations from the database of the Cybermen, which he believed was stolen from the Daleks following the Battle of Canary Wharf, as he explained to Jackson Lake how he had been made to believe he was the Doctor. (TV: The Next Doctor [+]Loading...["The Next Doctor (TV story)"])

Mr Smith presented footage of the Ninth Doctor as well as the Third Doctor to Rani Chandra after her encounter with the Tenth Doctor, making her aware of his ability to regenerate. (WC: Alien File: The Doctor [+]Loading...["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: The Eleventh Hour [+]Loading...["The Eleventh Hour (TV story)"])

When Rogue used his deep scanner on the Fifteenth Doctor, the images of seventeen earlier incarnations were projected, including that of the Ninth Doctor. (TV: Rogue [+]Loading...["Rogue (TV story)"])

Alternate timelines[[edit] | [edit source]]

When an alternate version of the Twelfth Doctor attempted to trap his post-Time War incarnations in various alternate timelines so that he could manipulate their minds to ensure his existence, he was unable to target the Ninth Doctor. Since his plan involved presenting the Doctors with dark visions of possible alternates, the tenth and twelfth incarnations mused in the aftermath that the Ninth Doctor had been left alone because the Alternative Twelfth Doctor was unable to find a timeline in which the Ninth Doctor was "anything less than fantastic." (COMIC: Four Doctors)

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

Personality[[edit] | [edit source]]

A pensive Doctor (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"])

After being "beaten by losing a war with Death". (PROSE: What the TARDIS thought of "Time Lord Victorious") the Ninth Doctor was an emotional incarnation of great sorrow and anger, plagued by the outcome of the Last Great Time War, breaking down or unleashing a great rage born from emotional exhaustion when faced with the consequences of the war. (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"], Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"], Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"], The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"]) However, when truly outraged with someone, the Doctor would stare at them calmly before bluntly speaking to them about what they had done to upset him. (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"], World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"], The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"], Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"], Bad Wolf [+]Loading...["Bad Wolf (TV story)"]) A mercurial individual, he hid his sorrow with a façade of manic energy, sharp wit and enthusiastic confidence, but would quickly drop the masquerade when he was either alone or deeply displeased. (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"], The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"], Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"], The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"]) His masquerade hid a near overwhelming sense of guilt regarding his predecessor's actions in the Time War, something he kept at bay by insisting that his strife had been worth it. (PROSE: A Brief History of Time Lords)

Behind his war-torn demeanour, however, he was one of the nobler incarnations, with not even a continuity bomb able to find a timeline where he was "anything less than fantastic", (COMIC: Four Doctors) and him willingly returning the power of the Time Vortex to the heart of the TARDIS after saving Rose from burning up by absorbing the power into himself, (TV: The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"]) despite the Tenth Doctor claiming that a Time Lord would become a "vengeful god" if they absorbed such powers. (TV: Utopia [+]Loading...["Utopia (TV story)"]) Indeed, the Ninth Doctor found it humorous when Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen identified his TARDIS as "technology of the gods", dismissing the idea of being a god by claiming he would "never get a day off". (TV: Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"]) He always tried to keep his promises. (AUDIO: Cataclysm) Not wanting to be a fighter, (PROSE: All Flesh is Grass) the Ninth Doctor described himself to Lynda Moss simply as a traveller in search of "a quiet life". (TV: Bad Wolf [+]Loading...["Bad Wolf (TV story)"])

He could get self-defensive over how others described him, defiantly telling Rose that he "[was] impressive" after she called him out for showing off his time travelling capabilities, (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"]) claiming he was "making an effort not to be insulted" when Rose rhetorically asked why all the "great looking" men disappear from her, (TV: The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"]) and questioning if Mickey Smith found him unattractive after Mickey pointed out how handsome Jack Harkness was. (TV: Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"])

Preferring to remain unnoticed in the background, the Doctor would instead encourage or inspire others into acts of heroism. (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"], The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"], World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"], The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"], The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"]) However, he was unafraid to confront his adversaries directly. (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"], Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"], The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"], Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"], Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"], Bad Wolf [+]Loading...["Bad Wolf (TV story)"], The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"])

Because of the emotional burden he carried with him from the Last Great Time War, the Ninth Doctor was initially reluctant to involve himself in events. (AUDIO: The Oncoming Storm) Despite being less of an interventionist, the Doctor was willing to help his friend Plex populate a planet with clones using the Chameleon Arch, understanding the pain Plex felt for the loss of his species in a freak singularity. (COMIC: The Promise) Trying to hide his friendlier side, (AUDIO: Cataclysm) the Ninth Doctor could come across as uninterested in the details around him, acting out his plans and intentions without informing his allies of his objective. (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"]) Despite initially wanting to travel alone indefinitely after the Time War, (PROSE: The Eyeless) the Doctor became a lonely man in his solitude, (PROSE: A Day to Yourselves) looking particularly crestfallen when Rose rejected an invitation to travel in the TARDIS. (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"])

While he was more adept at noticing the flaws of humanity than his predecessors, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"], The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"]) the Ninth Doctor still retained the selfless and caring attitude that he carried throughout his previous lives, never once hesitating to put himself in harm's way to save those around him. (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"], World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"], Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"], The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"]) Indeed, when facing Henry van Statten, the Doctor noted the greater aspects of mankind while deriding van Statten for his greed, (TV: Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"]) and also admitted his admiration for England's defiance of the Third Reich. (TV: The Empty Child [+]Loading...["The Empty Child (TV story)"]) When he realised that he could reverse the pain and suffering he had encountered with the Empty Child plague, the Doctor became overjoyed, whooping how "just this once, everybody live[d]", with Rose Tyler claiming he was "beaming away like [he was] Father Christmas". (TV: The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"]) He also tried not to hold grudges when those who wronged him needed his help. (PROSE: The Red Bicycle)

Despite initially coming across as emotionally scarred and melancholy, the Ninth Doctor displayed a fun side from time to time, bobbing his head to Soft Cell's "Tainted Love", (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"]) enjoying a meal with Nancy and her children friends, (TV: The Empty Child [+]Loading...["The Empty Child (TV story)"]) having a dance with Rose Tyler, (TV: The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"]) and enjoying some downtime in Cardiff with Rose, Jack and Mickey. (TV: Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"]) While discussing the grave consequences of the human race being fed constant reality television like sheep, he interrupted himself to ask Lynda Moss if they still had the program "Bear With Me", even chuckling about the celebrity edition where the bear got into a bath tub. (TV: Bad Wolf [+]Loading...["Bad Wolf (TV story)"])

Preferring to be in the present, (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"]) the Ninth Doctor would make decision in the heat of the moment, focusing more on emotion rather than logic. (TV: The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"], World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"], Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"], Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"]) He was also prone to falling for minor deceptions or overlooking obvious details. (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"], World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"], Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"]) However, he confessed that he downplayed his intelligence on occasion to lure his opponents into a false sense of security to have then expose their plans to him. (PROSE: The Clockwise Man)

More aloof than other incarnations, the Ninth Doctor failed to consider any discomfort the TARDIS translation circuit would cause, (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"]) and was also willing to temporarily allow the Gelth to occupy dead human bodies, likening it to recycling. (TV: The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"])

The Ninth Doctor did not "do domestic", (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"], World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"]) which led to tensions between him and Jackie Tyler. (TV: Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"], World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"], Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"], The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"]) He resisted speaking of his past to others, (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"]) and would feel sorrow instead of nostalgia when seeing aspects of his past. (TV: Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"])

Believing marrying for love to be overrated, (PROSE: Only Human) the Ninth Doctor would turn down explicit romantic advances, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"]) but would be willing to return romantic pursuits if he felt there was chemistry with them. (AUDIO: Fond Farewell) He would also engage in friendly flirting, (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"], Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"]) and openly called Sam Bishop "gorgeous". (AUDIO: Way of the Burryman) Though later River Song would help him realise that he was aromantic and asexual. (AUDIO: Swipe Right [+]Loading...["Swipe Right (audio story)"].

He displayed a certain level of childish joy when it came to toying with people, such as by deliberately addressing them by the wrong name, insulting their intelligence or subjecting them to unnecessary humiliation. (TV: Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"], World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"], The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"]) According to Rose, he liked to insult species as a whole when in moments of stress. (TV: The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"]) He would often make dry jokes to diffuse the tension of a situation. (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"], The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"], Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"], Bad Wolf [+]Loading...["Bad Wolf (TV story)"], The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"])

The Doctor expressed a keen interest in history, once claiming he travelled in time specifically so he could see history unfold. (TV: Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"]) He was also a fan of Charles Dickens's work, (TV: The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"]) and had a fondness for art as well, taking Rose to see the original Mona Lisa at the Oriel, (COMIC: Art Attack) and considered himself an admirer of geohacking rather than a critic. (COMIC: Hacked) He also found pleasure in playing Mickey's video games, even briefly bonding with him over them, (PROSE: Winner Takes All) and enjoyed immersive reality. (AUDIO: Sphere of Freedom)

He liked "unsurprising" surprises, (PROSE: The Beast of Babylon) with the one thing that kept on surprising him being how disobedient his companions were when we told them to avoid "wandering off". (TV: The Empty Child [+]Loading...["The Empty Child (TV story)"]) He also voiced an affection for hugs, (TV: The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"]) and gave them out to comfort others, (TV: Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"], The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"]) or when in moments of joy. (TV: The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"], Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"], Bad Wolf [+]Loading...["Bad Wolf (TV story)"])

He disliked dealing with people who tried to deny the extra-ordinary and unexplainable, even after they had witnessed it, believing that they only wasted his time with their denial. (TV: The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"], The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"])

He was a vocal fan of bananas, calling them a "good source of potassium". (TV: The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"]) Sharing bacon sandwiches with Rose in a cafe, he voiced an admiration for ketchup that challenged brown sauce as his favourite condiment. (AUDIO: Retail Therapy) He happily accepted turkey while dining with young orphans, (TV: The Empty Child [+]Loading...["The Empty Child (TV story)"]) and ordered steak and chips while dining with Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen for her last meal. (TV: Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"]) He also enjoyed lemon gingerbread. (COMIC: The Lost Dimension)

He liked to have his coffee with just milk, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"]) and took his tea with two sugars. (TV:The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"]) While Rose claimed to her mother that the Doctor drank, he did not enjoy wine, instantly spitting what he had drank back into his glass after a toast. (TV: World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"]) He did, however, enjoy brandy. (PROSE: The Clockwise Man)

While he stood against killing, (AUDIO: Sphere of Freedom) the Ninth Doctor displayed a huge sense of authority against his enemies, willing to let them die when he felt it justified their actions, claiming that everything had its time and that everything eventually ended, (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"], Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"], Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"]) but was willing to use diplomacy, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"]) though he preferred action to philosophical debates. (TV: The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"]) He showed a particular dislike for those who tried to justify their actions by saying they were only "following orders", telling the female programmer she had "lost the right to even talk to [him]" when she tried to use that excuse. (TV: Bad Wolf [+]Loading...["Bad Wolf (TV story)"])

Because of his pragmatic approach to situations, he would at times brush off individual deaths to focus on the task at hand, and would even encourage others to do the same and mourn later. (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"], The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"], Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"]) However, while the Doctor showed the ability to move past the deaths of those around him in the heat of the moment, (TV: Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"], Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"]) he acknowledged the lives lost as soon as he could. (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"], World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"])

The Doctor was more willing to use guns in drastic situations (TV: Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"], Bad Wolf [+]Loading...["Bad Wolf (TV story)"]) and as tools. ( COMIC: The Lost Dimension [+]Loading...["The Lost Dimension (comic story)"]) Thanks to Rose's help, he returned to his objection of using guns for warfare. (COMIC: Weapons of Past Destruction [+]Loading...["Weapons of Past Destruction (comic story)"]) While he similarly frowned upon violence, he admitted that he found fantasy violence in the form of video games somewhat therapeutic. (PROSE: Winner Takes All)

Always aiming to see the innocence in those deemed hostile, (AUDIO: Sphere of Freedom) the Doctor was morally outraged when the genetically modified was killed for looking threatening, when in reality it was only acting out of fright, and comforted it in its dying moments by stroking its snout. (TV: Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"]) He likewise became morally outraged when he learnt that victims of the Empty Child plague had been left to be forgotten. (TV: The Empty Child [+]Loading...["The Empty Child (TV story)"])

While the Doctor never shied away from the dangers of his adventures, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"], The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"], World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"], The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"]) he voiced an admiration for the mundane lives of Sarah Clark and Stuart Hoskins, and was shocked when they suggested they weren't important. (TV: Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"])

The Ninth Doctor was not keen to encounter his other selves, (PROSE: A Day to Yourselves) being apprehensive to speak to Dr. Constantine when he was led to believe he was another of his incarnations. (TV: The Empty Child [+]Loading...["The Empty Child (TV story)"]) Upon receiving a message from the Fourth Doctor, the Ninth Doctor bemoaned the occasion, reaffirming the Fourth Doctor's dislike of "talking to [him]self". (COMIC: The Lost Dimension) He compared a Multi-Doctor event to ChuckleVision. (WC: Doctors Assemble!)

When forced to reflect on his memories of the Last Great Time War, and his war incarnation, the Doctor reacted in agony, showing a great dread of his immediate predecessor, as well as his eighth incarnation, (COMIC: Weapons of Past Destruction [+]Loading...["Weapons of Past Destruction (comic story)"]) though he reflected on how innocent the Eighth Doctor was before the Time War. (COMIC: The Forgotten [+]Loading...["The Forgotten (comic story)"]) He was especially angry with the War Doctor for leaving him to "clean up the mess" left by the Time War.  (PROSE: A Day to Yourselves [+]Loading...["A Day to Yourselves (short story)"]) 

A Matrix projection of him referred to the Tenth Doctor as "fantastic". (COMIC: The Forgotten) Upon meeting his tenth and twelfth incarnations, the three were able to work together amicably, though he claimed he did not trust either of them to rescue Jack and Tara from the Void. (COMIC: The Lost Dimension)

The Tenth Doctor held a somewhat low opinion of the Ninth Doctor, thinking him to have been "full of blood and anger and revenge" due to being "born in battle". (TV: Journey's End [+]Loading...["Journey's End (TV story)"]) The Eleventh Doctor seemingly harboured no such ill feelings, cheerfully delivering a message to the Ninth Doctor and signing off with a jovial, "Cheers, Ears", before apologising for the joke with concern. (AUDIO: Night of the Whisper) The Twelfth Doctor would later claim that his ninth incarnation was so "fantastic" that there was no possible timeline that even the continuity bomb could find where he was anything but so, a sentiment shared by the tenth and eleventh incarnations. (COMIC: Four Doctors, The Promise)

The Doctor cared very deeply about Rose Tyler, being reluctant to put her in danger, (TV: The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"], World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"], The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"]) and was even willing to let a Dalek loose on Earth to keep her safe. (TV: Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"]) When the Daleks invaded Satellite Five, the Doctor sent her back home to protect her, and deliberately absorbed the Time Vortex energy in her to save her life, knowing that he would regenerate afterwards. (TV: The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"]) While others would mistake them for lovers, (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"], Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"], Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"], Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"]) the Doctor himself denied such a claim when it was made by Ali. (PROSE: The Beast of Babylon)

During his limited travels with Adam Mitchell, the Doctor admitted to him that he was a "tiny bit fantastic" after he helped the Doctor defeat the Bygone Horde, (AUDIO: The Other Side) and accepted him as a true companion when he sacrificed his life to defeat the Tremas Master's plan to end the universe, (COMIC: Endgame) despite previously kicking him out of the TARDIS for attempting to send information from 200000 to his 2012 answering machine. (TV: The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"]) He was initially being dismissive of Jack Harkness for being a con man and indirectly causing the Empty Child plague, but chose to save him from the bomb he had taken onto his ship and invited Jack along as a companion due to his noble action. (TV: The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"])

The Doctor though that his TARDIS was a "magnificent time ship", (TV: Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"]) even calling it the "best ship in the universe." (TV: Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"])

While he initially believed him to be no more than Rose's "stupid boyfriend", and claimed that he was "choking on [his] words" asking for his help, the Doctor nonetheless entrusted Mickey Smith with a computer virus to delete all mentions of him from the internet, even inviting him along in the TARDIS after his help in defeating the Slitheen family, and defended his honour in front of Rose by claiming he was refusing Mickey entry after he turned down the offer. (TV: World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"]) While he stilled enjoyed teasing him, the Doctor came to enjoy Mickey's company in Cardiff, even offering to wait for Rose to say goodbye to him before they left. (TV: Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"])

When it came to children, the Ninth Doctor generally treated them kindly. (TV: The Empty Child [+]Loading...["The Empty Child (TV story)"]) When Blon reverted back into an egg, rather than send her to execution, the Doctor desired to give her to a new family to start a new life, believing the new child had a chance to make things better. (TV: Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"]) He also cared for a baby Rose Tyler, taking surprise that Jackie deemed him the best man to be trusted with her care. (TV: Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"]) However, he could grow irritated with children who misbehaved, (TV: World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"]) and once had to wrestle a television remote control out of a little boy's hand, though the boy at least had a laugh about it. (TV: Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"])

The Ninth Doctor held a deep vendetta against the Daleks, but was also fearful of them. When he realised that Henry van Statten's prized Metaltron was a Dalek drone, and that its weaponry was powerless, the Doctor proceeded to try and kill it after via torture, and even tried to convince it to kill itself when it demanded orders. However, after Rose came to its defence, the Doctor calmed down, with his anger turning into sympathy as he realised the Dalek was broken by its own mutation. (TV: Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"]) Upon learning the Daleks had survived by hiding away in the year 200100, the Doctor noted his desire to "burn every last stinking Dalek out of the sky". (TV: Bad Wolf [+]Loading...["Bad Wolf (TV story)"]) However, when dared by the Dalek Emperor, the Doctor struggled with the decision to either destroy the Daleks and the Earth with a delta wave or simply allow the Daleks to kill him and take over the universe. In the end, the Doctor couldn't bring himself to pull the trigger, happily calling himself a "coward" instead of a "killer". (TV: The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"])  

Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart noted that the Ninth Doctor had a military mind set to him, (COMIC: Official Secrets) with Adam Mitchell identifying the Ninth Doctor as the "soldier" in comparison to his other incarnations. (COMIC: Unnatural Selection) Rose believed he had a "worry etched on his face" that hid his true feelings, (PROSE: He's Behind You) while Audrey Mohinson recognised his apathy "mask[ed] the troubled soul just beneath the surface". (AUDIO: Cataclysm)

When talking about the possibility of his death, the Doctor would show no concern for his demise, only hoping for a good death, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"]) with his only concern when faced with being killed by the Gelth was that it was to happen in a Cardiff morgue. (TV: The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"])

After the regeneration process was started by the cellular damage he had achieved from siphoning the Time Vortex out of Rose's body, the Doctor first stated his regret at being unable to take her to the planet Barcelona, and then speculated what he would look like after he regenerated. In the closing moments of his life, though, the Doctor made peace with his past actions, smiling peacefully before he regenerated. (TV: The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"])

Habits and quirks[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Ninth Doctor spoke with a distinctive Northern English accent, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"]) and had a fondness for saying "fantastic" when he was pleased with something, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"], Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"], Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"], The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"]) came across a dangerous situation, (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"]) explaining his admiration for someone, (TV: The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"], The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"]) describing a favoured place, (TV: The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"], The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"]) found something of interest, (TV: Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"]) or was sarcastically expressing displeasure. (AUDIO: Night of the Whisper)

He would at times promote his actions with the phrase, "and for my next trick", (TV: The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"], The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (TV story)"]; COMIC: Sin-Eaters) and exclaim, "give the man a medal", when celebrating a positive outcome, (TV: The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"]) or congratulating cleverness. (TV: The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"]) During interactions with new people, the Doctor often uttered that it was "nice to meet [them]". (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"], World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"], The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"], Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"])

He also used Cockney slang and street lingo more freely than his earlier selves, such as telling Rose to "leg it" when instructing her to escape, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"]) yelling "oi" to get people's attention or when offended, (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"], The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"], Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"], The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"], Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"]) calling other men "mate", (TV: The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"], The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"]) and saying, "I'll have 'ya", to those who irritated him. (TV: World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"]) He often gave speeches about things, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"], The Empty Child [+]Loading...["The Empty Child (TV story)"]) or lectured those he wished to scold. (TV: Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"], The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"], Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"], The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"])

While his previous incarnations were rarely heard uttering curse words, the Ninth Doctor used minor curses more freely, (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"], World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"], Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"], The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"], The Empty Child [+]Loading...["The Empty Child (TV story)"], Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"]) though his TARDIS had a swear filter nested in the translation circuit. (PROSE: Only Human) When being critical of human nature, the Ninth Doctor would call humans "stupid apes", (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"]) and, on one occasion, "brainless sheep". (TV: Bad Wolf [+]Loading...["Bad Wolf (TV story)"])

The Ninth Doctor had a habit of folding his arms, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"], The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"], Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"], World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"], The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"], The Empty Child [+]Loading...["The Empty Child (TV story)"], The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"], Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"], Bad Wolf [+]Loading...["Bad Wolf (TV story)"]) especially as he leaned back on his shoulder. (TV: The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"], Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"], The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"], Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"], The Empty Child [+]Loading...["The Empty Child (TV story)"], Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"])

He would also keep his hands in his jacket pockets, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"], The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"], Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"], World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"], Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"], The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"], Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"], Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"], The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"]) or held behind his back. (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"], The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"], Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"], World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"], The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"], Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"], The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"])

He would also grin when pleased with something, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"], The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"], Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"], World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"], The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"], Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"], Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"], Bad Wolf [+]Loading...["Bad Wolf (TV story)"], The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"]) found something funny, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"], The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"], Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"], Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"], The Empty Child [+]Loading...["The Empty Child (TV story)"], The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"], Bad Wolf [+]Loading...["Bad Wolf (TV story)"]) trying to look welcoming, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"], Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"], The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"], The Empty Child [+]Loading...["The Empty Child (TV story)"], Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"]) explaining a situation, (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"]) admiring someone, (TV: The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"], World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"], Bad Wolf [+]Loading...["Bad Wolf (TV story)"]) when admitting to an embarrassing mistake on his part, (TV: Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"]) when pretending to be nice, (TV: Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"], The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"], The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"], The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"]) taunting his enemies. (TV: World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"], Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"], Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"], Bad Wolf [+]Loading...["Bad Wolf (TV story)"], The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"]) or trying to be reassuring. (TV: The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"], Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"], The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"])

He would roll his eyes when annoyed. (TV: Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"], Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"], Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"], Bad Wolf [+]Loading...["Bad Wolf (TV story)"]) and also made a habit of lounging when sitting down, usually propping himself up on an arm. (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"], Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"], The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"], Bad Wolf [+]Loading...["Bad Wolf (TV story)"]) When in his TARDIS with nothing to do, the Doctor would fiddle with a ball in his hands. (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"], Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"])

While he was rarely seen eating, (PROSE: Winner Takes All) the Doctor helped himself to two slices of turkey, (TV: The Empty Child [+]Loading...["The Empty Child (TV story)"]) ate three sandwiches and two cakes with two cups of tea, (PROSE: Winner Takes All) happily gobbled down multiple bacon sandwiches, (AUDIO: Retail Therapy) and helped himself to a huge slice of lemon cake. (COMIC: The Lost Dimension)

Like his other incarnations, the Doctor had his TARDIS key with him at all times, but also carried a spare placed on a chain with a D-shackle. (TV: Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"]) He also began habitually carrying his psychic paper around. (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"]) The Ninth Doctor otherwise broke away from the behaviour of his other incarnations, whose pockets were usually filled with seemingly random objects and knick-knacks, by carrying very little on his person, with only his sonic screwdriver on him when frisked by security. (TV: Bad Wolf [+]Loading...["Bad Wolf (TV story)"])

Skills[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Ninth Doctor held a commanding presence, and had a gift for leading others, (TV: Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"], The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"], The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"]) even those initially hostile towards him. (TV: Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"], Bad Wolf [+]Loading...["Bad Wolf (TV story)"]) As such, he disliked it when he was interrupted while explaining the situation at hand, (TV: Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"]) or when someone else gave out instructions on how to apprehend the enemy. (TV: Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"]) He could also convince others he was needed as a leader for the benefit of survival, (TV: Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"]) and was able to successfully order the victims of the Empty Child plague to "go to [their] room" as if he were an angry parent. (TV: The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"]) He could also be effectively intimidating with just a stare. (TV: World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"], The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"], Bad Wolf [+]Loading...["Bad Wolf (TV story)"]) However, he did not seem as skilled at holding audiences, being heckled while stepping in for William Shakespeare on stage, (COMIC: A Groatsworth of Wit) and being treated as a comedy act in a makeshift cabaret when attempting to ask about a Chula ambulance falling from the sky during the Blitz. However, he could amuse and hold the attention of a group of children, (TV: The Empty Child [+]Loading...["The Empty Child (TV story)"]) and took a bow to roaring applause when he appeared on stage in the middle of a theatrical production in 1894 Birmingham. (AUDIO: The Other Side)

Unafraid of fighting, (TV: The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"]) the Ninth Doctor was skilled in close combat, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"], Bad Wolf [+]Loading...["Bad Wolf (TV story)"]) and showed a great deal of strength and agility, being able rip parts off of artificial beings, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"]) and kick open a locked door. (TV: The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"]) However, he struggled to break free from an Auton's grip, only flipping it off with Rose's help, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"]) and was restrained by two of the Editor's reanimated workers. (TV: The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"]) He also possessed keen reflexes, catching a poisoned dart-like projectile in mid-air with his fingers without even looking up from his menu when he took Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen out for a last meal, and repelled her exhaled poison with some mouthwash before she could exhale the full force of her fatal breath. (TV: Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"]) He also avoided the attack of three Elians, (PROSE: The Red Bicycle) easily manoeuvred through the chaos of Traxis, (COMIC: Weapons of Past Destruction) and grabbed onto the underside of a passing spaceship that his imposter was flying. (COMIC: Doctormania)

Despite being bad at card tricks, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"]) the Doctor was a good pickpocket, being able to swap Jack's sonic blaster with a banana undetected. (TV: The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"]) He was also quite stealthy, able to disappear from Albion Hospital without a trace, (TV: Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"]) and arrive at a dinner table without anyone noticing him until he spoke. (TV: The Empty Child [+]Loading...["The Empty Child (TV story)"]) Despite some initial confusion, the Doctor proved to be a skilled dancer. (TV: The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"])

He also displayed psychic abilities, telepathically placing Rose in a dreamscape of the Powell Estate from his memories before stealing energy from Makassar's gestalt to create a projection with physical substance, (PROSE: The Masks of Makassar) and confronting the entity using him as a host body within his mind before projecting his consciousness into the TARDIS to act as his vessel. (COMIC: The Cruel Sea) He also managed to project his consciousness into Tycho's body and reverse his influence on the people drained by Glubby Glubs, inducing them to forget the incident, and return to his body as Tycho's withered. (AUDIO: Retail Therapy)

Claiming to have "[come] first in jiggery pokery", (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"]) the Doctor was capable of reversing a teleportation feed, (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"], Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"]) and had the technical skills to make Satellite Five into a delta wave generator in a few hours after initially predicting it would take at least three days to do so. (TV: The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"])

Professing that he "[had] [his] moments", the Ninth Doctor proved a skilled physician, notably being able to accurately diagnose that the patients at the Albion Hospital had all suffered the same physical injuries. (TV: The Empty Child [+]Loading...["The Empty Child (TV story)"]) He also understood nanogenes and how they could heal any physical injuries, and even revive the dead, so long as they had been previously exposed to the patient's species. (TV: The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"])

The Doctor could recognise substances such as ozone from smell alone, associating it with the "distinctive tingle" of teleportation, as well as tell it apart from chronon energy, (PROSE: Winner Takes All, The Red Bicycle; COMIC: The Bidding War) was able to tell that the Lend-a-Hand girls didn't "smell human", (COMIC: The Love Invasion) and was able to track down Nancy without her detection, jokingly claiming his nose had "special powers". (TV: The Empty Child [+]Loading...["The Empty Child (TV story)"]) While he did not enjoy wine, (TV: World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"]) he could identify its year and place of origin by taste alone. (PROSE: The Clockwise Man)

The Ninth Doctor displayed refined control of his TARDIS, managing to accurately pilot it back to where had bid farewell to Rose after he defeated the Starman (PROSE: The Beast of Babylon) so that he arrived only seconds after he left from her perspective, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"]) take Rose to see her mother and father marry and returned her to the moment her father died twice with no issues, (TV: Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"]) and even piloted it around Rose and a Dalek when coming to save her. (TV: The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"]) He was also successful at riding a motorbike, quickly took command of a horse drawn carriage, (COMIC: The Love Invasion) and rode a dinosaur on Clix. (COMIC: Doctormania)

The Doctor boasted that he could speak all the "five billion languages in [his] head", (TV: The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"]) such as Latin. (AUDIO: Sphere of Freedom)

Being a Time Lord, the Ninth Doctor could slow down his perception of time through sheer concentration, being able to pass through a spinning blade as a result. (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"]) He also had no difficulty breathing in a room filling with gas after it became uninhabitable to humans, (TV: The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"]) and could withstand electrical forces that were harmful to other species. (TV: World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"]) He also showed the ability to read through a book in seconds, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"]) and suck the power of the Time Vortex out of Rose Tyler with a kiss. (TV: The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"])

Intellectually, the Doctor was capable of making accurate deductions on how his adversaries utilised their technology, (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"]) and could identify certain technology on sight. (TV: Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"]) He was also capable of mentally narrowing down a list of five thousand planets within a matter of seconds by focusing on the characteristics of the Slitheen family. (TV: World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"]) He could judge character quickly, summing up their motivations and history after keenly observing them. (TV: The Empty Child [+]Loading...["The Empty Child (TV story)"])

He was also skilled at video games, (PROSE: Winner Takes All) knew how to handle explosives, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"]) and could be a capable swordsman when the situation called for it. (PROSE: What I Did on My Christmas Holidays by Sally Sparrow)

The Ninth Doctor possessed certain control over regeneration, being able to hold back the process long enough to carry Rose into the TARDIS and pilot them both away from Satellite Five. The action proved strenuous though, causing him to cry out in pain after resisting it for too long. (TV: The Parting of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Parting of the Ways (TV story)"])

Appearance[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Doctor asks Lynda Moss to join him. (TV: Bad Wolf [+]Loading...["Bad Wolf (TV story)"])

Standing over six feet tall, (PROSE: Winner Takes All) the Ninth Doctor looked like a man in his early forties, (TV: Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"]) and had pale blue eyes, strong cheekbones, a small beauty mark on his right cheek, and dark brown hair, which he wore close-cropped. (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"]) At times, he sported a five o'clock shadow, (TV: Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"], Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"], Father's Day [+]Loading...["Father's Day (TV story)"], Bad Wolf [+]Loading...["Bad Wolf (TV story)"]) and Rose Tyler claimed that he shaved. (TV: The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"]) Whilst immobilised on Occasus for ninety years, the Doctor's hair grew out and he also grew a beard, which he distastefully noted made him look like a wizard. (AUDIO: Planet of the End)

He had large ears, which he was initially shocked at when looking at his reflection, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"]) and that he felt did not suit him, but determined that "we work with what we have." (COMIC: The Promise) Their size earned him the nickname "Big Ears" from Mickey Smith, (TV: Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"]) and being identified as the "me with the ears" by the Tenth Doctor. (COMIC: The Lost Dimension) The Eleventh Doctor playfully teased him about his ears, (AUDIO: Night of the Whisper) and their size was noted by River Song as well. (GAME: The Eternity Clock) Ironically, before his regeneration, his previous incarnation hoped that his successor's ears would be less conspicuous. (TV: The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (TV story)"])

When the Doctor told Nancy that his ears had "special powers", she asked him if his nose had powers too, implying that she thought his nose was large as well. (TV: The Empty Child [+]Loading...["The Empty Child (TV story)"]) The Tenth Doctor also considered his predecessor's nose large, even nicknaming him "Big Nose". (COMIC: Four Doctors)

The Doctor felt that his appearance made him look tough, especially when compared to his eighth incarnation. (PROSE: The Red Bicycle) He also believed himself to be handsome, telling Rose he was "making an effort not to be insulted" when she rhetorically asked why all the "great looking" men disappear from her, (TV: The Doctor Dances [+]Loading...["The Doctor Dances (TV story)"]) and being fixated on Mickey Smith implying he didn't find him handsome. (TV: Boom Town [+]Loading...["Boom Town (TV story)"])

He was also considered attractive by the likes of Jackie Tyler, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"]) Jabe, (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"]) and Shirley Gilbert, who described him as "[a] bit of a dish if you like them rough", and his eyes as "dreamy". (COMIC: The Love Invasion) Slist Fayflut Marteveerthon Slitheen was awarded Cosmopolitan's "Sexiest Planetary Saviour" nine years in a row while using a skin suit based off the Ninth Doctor's appearance. (COMIC: Doctormania)

Rose Tyler's first impression of the Doctor was that he looked "hard as nails" due to his "brutal" buzzcut, weathered clothing and apparent fitness." When he turned to face her, Rose noted the delight in his eyes, as well as the Doctor's prominent cheekbones, and his "splendid ears" most of all. Even after the two parted company, as Rose processed the encounter, she thought mostly of the Doctor's bright blue eyes, beaming with excitement. (PROSE: Rose)

Winston Churchill described the Ninth Doctor as a "rough looking fellow, with wing-nut ears and a leather jacket." (PROSE: The Lost Diaries of Winston Spencer Churchill)

When the Eighth Doctor looked into the Tomorrow Windows, he had glimpses of various possible futures, including several possible ninth incarnations, but eventually "the tall, thin man with [the] piercing grey-blue eyes and a prominent nose" asserted itself as more solid than the others. (PROSE: The Tomorrow Windows)

Clothing[[edit] | [edit source]]

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

Picking the first outfit he could find after his regeneration, (PROSE: A Day to Yourselves) the Ninth Doctor opted for a more stripped-down and rugged attire. The main staple of his outfit was a battered black double breasted leather peacoat, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"]) which was compared to those worn by German U-boat captains by Jack Harkness. (TV: The Empty Child [+]Loading...["The Empty Child (TV story)"]) Some accounts suggested he also had a leather jacket that was dark brown in colour. (COMIC: Mr Nobody, The Cruel Sea; PROSE: The Clockwise Man, Rose) The Doctor was particularly fond of his jacket, even being more concerned with locating it when both the jacket and the TARDIS went missing, only cheering up once it was returned. After the stitching under the arms began to rip and a sleeve was damaged by a shard of glass, the Doctor left his jacket with Edward Repple and replaced it with an identical one. (PROSE: The Clockwise Man)

Along with the jacket, the Ninth Doctor wore a number of v-neck jumpers, coloured in alabaster, (COMIC: The Promise) bottle green, (AUDIO: Food Fight) army green, (AUDIO: The Curse of Lady Macbeth) indigo, (AUDIO: Last of the Zetacene) bronze brown, (AUDIO: The Beautiful Game) plain maroon, (TV: Rose) navy blue, (TV: The Unquiet Dead) olive green, (TV: Dalek) eggplant purple, (TV: The Empty Child) bright lilac, (COMIC: Weapons of Past Destruction) emerald green, (COMIC: Doctormania) gunmetal grey, (COMIC: Official Secrets) sapphire blue, (COMIC: Monstrous Beauty) rust orange, (PROSE: The Guide to the Dark Times) and raven black. (TV: Bad Wolf) However, he was photographed wearing a navy blue polo-neck jumper at the Assassination of John F. Kennedy; (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"]) and he also wore a sage green crewneck sweater in 1923 Paris, (COMIC: Four Doctors) and a midnight blue turtleneck jumper during a trip to the Arctic. (AUDIO: Northern Lights)

Completing the ensemble were a pair of trousers, coloured in either black, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"]) grey (COMIC: Weapons of Past Destruction) or midnight blue, (COMIC: Doctormania) along with a black leather belt, (TV: Dalek [+]Loading...["Dalek (TV story)"]) a pair of black leather Doc Marten boots, (PROSE: The Red Bicycle) and a black, strapped wristwatch, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"]) which he often looked at to find out dates and years, (TV: The End of the World [+]Loading...["The End of the World (TV story)"], Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"], The Long Game [+]Loading...["The Long Game (TV story)"], The Empty Child [+]Loading...["The Empty Child (TV story)"]) and that the TARDIS was able to home in on while flown by Sally Sparrow. (PROSE: What I Did on My Christmas Holidays by Sally Sparrow) He also wore diamond-print socks. (PROSE: Winner Takes All)

Both Charles Dickens and Honoré Lechasseur compared the Ninth Doctor to a navvy. (TV: The Unquiet Dead [+]Loading...["The Unquiet Dead (TV story)"]; PROSE: The Albino's Dancer) Jackie Tyler was particularly critical of his stripped down clothing style, believing he either owned only one T-shirt or threw them out after wearing them once. (AUDIO: Retail Therapy) The Doctor once suggested that he bought his clothes from a Gap in Croydon. (PROSE: Only Human)

Other costumes[[edit] | [edit source]]

Whilst at the launch of the RMS Titanic in 1912, the Doctor wore a burgundy brocade cravat with an ivory shirt and double-breasted frock coat of ebony black moleskin. (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], PROSE: Have You Seen This Man?)

When hijacking the 68 to Bolton, the Doctor wore a bus driver uniform. (PROSE: Have You Seen This Man?)

While in 1924 London, the Doctor wore a dark brown round neck shirt under his jacket, with a pair of faded slacks, and battered shoes. (PROSE: The Clockwise Man)

During an adventure in World War I, the Doctor wore a military trenchcoat to fit in with the British soldiers. (COMIC: The Forgotten)

The Doctor and Jack briefly donned skin suits of Raxacoricofallapatorians when searching for Rose and Slist Fayflut Marteveerthon Slitheen on Clix. (COMIC: Doctormania) During his imprisonment at Hesguard Institute, the Doctor wore an orange prison jumpsuit. (COMIC: Sin-Eaters)

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

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

Doctor Who meets Casanova.

Casting[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • Originally, Russell T Davies approached Hugh Grant, who previously played the Doctor's alternate twelfth incarnation in the spoof The Curse of Fatal Death, to play the Ninth Doctor. He turned down the role, thinking the show would not take off. He expressed deep regret over this in 2007 after seeing how successful the show had become.[2]

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

  • The Ninth Doctor was the second incarnation whose main attire does not include any form of neck wear, following the Fifth Doctor.

Regeneration[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • The Ninth Doctor is unique in being the only Doctor to not be seen immediately after his regeneration. The Day of the Doctor shows the beginning of the transformation from the War Doctor to the Ninth Doctor, but it is cut off before the full results are shown.
  • The Ninth Doctor is currently the only incarnation whose incoming and outgoing regenerations were broadcast in reverse order. The War Doctor's regeneration into the Ninth Doctor was not shown on-screen until The Day of the Doctor, eight years after the Ninth Doctor's regeneration into the Tenth Doctor in The Parting of the Ways.
  • The Ninth Doctor is currently the only incarnation of the BBC Wales era of the show whose outgoing regeneration occurred in the final episode of a standard series rather than a special.

Other matters[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • With only one season, the Ninth Doctor's television run is the third shortest for a numbered Doctor and fourth shortest overall, behind that of the Eighth Doctor's two appearances in the 1996 made-for-television movie Doctor Who and the mini-episode The Night of the Doctor, the War Doctor's two appearances in the television episode The Name of the Doctor and the fiftieth anniversary special The Day of the Doctor, and the Fourteenth Doctor's four appearances in the 60th Anniversary Specials from Destination: Skaro to The Giggle.
  • The Ninth Doctor was the first incarnation to have the same companion throughout all their television appearances, with Rose Tyler being present for all of his thirteen episodes. They would be followed by the Thirteenth Doctor and her companion Yaz Khan, and by the Fourteenth Doctor and his companion Donna Noble (if one excludes mini-episodes).
  • The Ninth Doctor was the first incarnation never to face another Time Lord as an opponent on-screen, with the Eleventh Doctor coming second if one discounts the Dream Lord or Mr Clever, both being amalgams of the Doctor instead of distinct individuals. The Fourteenth Doctor also shares this distinction.
  • The original plan for The Day of the Doctor was for the Ninth Doctor to be the one who fought in the Time War, as hinted throughout his era. However, Steven Moffat admitted that he had difficulty with this since the Ninth Doctor is clearly "a new man" at the beginning of his adventures with Rose, as deduced from comments he makes about his physical appearance upon looking in a mirror. After talking about the project with Moffat, however, Eccleston decided to decline being involved in the 50th anniversary special, as Moffat thought that he would. The character of the War Doctor was created to take his place. Moffat later explained Eccleston's reasons for passing on the reprisal in an interview:

I sort of knew that he wouldn't. I know Chris a bit. I did a couple of meetings, and there was a moment, I suppose, a giddy moment where [I thought] 'Would he actually do it?' This wasn't the kind of decision he took in a funk or that he was cross. He was very measured, very kind, very gentlemanly about it. He's a good bloke. If you look at Chris's career, this is not what he does. The Ninth Doctor turns up for the battle and not the party.Steven Moffat [src]
