In a universe other than the one that the Renegade Time Lord known as the Doctor called home, the Thirteenth Doctor as the result of the regeneration of a "Twelfth Doctor".

Biography

Her previous incarnation regenerated after being hit by zectronic energy.

With the Doctor now regenerated into a woman, she was abandoned by her companion and lover Emma and "his" previous plans to marry her were cancelled. However, the Doctor and the Master found each other much more attractive than before and walked off together as a couple. (DW: The Curse of Fatal Death)

Behind the scenes

  • The inclusion of a woman as the Thirteenth Doctor addressed long standing fan speculation that the Doctor could at some point change sexes while regenerating. The theory has been supported by many lines in the show and by Tom Baker.
  • Fans had for years thought Joanna Lumley a candidate for the role of the Doctor, should they ever cast a woman in the role. She had earlier played Sapphire, a non-human time detective in the cult fantasy series Sapphire & Steel. The script gave her name as "The (Female) Thirteenth Doctor".
  • Another female incarnation of the Doctor would later appear in BFDWU: Exile, as played by Arabella Weir.
