<!--For the introduction brief, avoid using story links, as this paragraph is a reflection of how the Doctor lived their life, and thus covers a wider range than goes beyond a single story entry.-->
Originally a man with the demeanour of an eccentric, light-hearted buffoon, the '''Seventh Doctor''' darkened into a mysterious, cunning manipulator to combat [[Fenric]]'s return.  


Though he delighted in humorous reverie, it was only the surface layer of his true nature. Beneath, he was a Machiavellian and somber genius of frightful calibre who could tactfully use his mind to manipulate almost any situation into reaching his favoured outcome. Despite this, every action he did "for the greater good", as this incarnation actively sought out evil to vanquish. He could also show profound warmth and affection to his [[companion]]s, and built a strong bond with many of them.
He investigated the deaths of [[Time Lord]]s [[Valentine (Death Comes to Time)|Valentine]] and [[Antenor]]. During these events he met the Minister of Chance. The Doctor later led a further investigation into the Blue's Bar massacre with the assistance of Speedwell, so together they discovered [[Nessican]] was responsible for the deaths. Due to the events the Doctor poisoned Nussican with his blood after consuming garlic.


Initially, the Seventh Doctor travelled with [[Sixth Doctor|his predecessor]]'s final companion, [[Melanie Bush]]. After several adventures with the new Doctor, she left to travel with [[Sabalom Glitz]], prompting him to begin travelling with [[Ace]], a troubled teenager from [[Earth]] in the [[1980s]]. Treating her both as a protégé and initially as a pawn in Fenric's game, he did his best to help heal Ace's psychological wounds by helping her come to terms with her past misdeeds and fears, aiding her in maturing and supporting her in moments of difficulty. Although he initially planned to take Ace home, they ultimately travelled together for several years, only for their strong bond to grow increasingly strained as secrets and death tore them apart.
Later on, he tried to defeat Tannis' plot of invasion. Upon doing so he rescued Bedlar's child, eventually meeting face to face with Tannis when returning the child.


Following Ace's initial departure from [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], he became "champion" to the [[Eternal]] known as [[Time (Set Piece)|Time]]. Although he did many good deeds while under the title of Time's Champion, his manipulative ways and amoral decisions cost him dearly, leaving him questioning his actions and himself. The aftermath left him tired and saddened, and after reuniting with many old friends he eventually began a lonely [[retirement]] from plotting. Though wearisome, he decided he would return to [[Gallifrey]] when the [[Time Lord]]s needed his assistance, but having grown complacent in his [[retirement]], he let his guard down at the wrong time and paid for it with his life.
Tannis, now frustrated, shot the Doctor's beloved companion Antinomy to death. The Doctor was now in despair, so he travelled back to companion Ace where they noticed the death of Nuscan.


After many years of schemes and manipulation, the Doctor regenerated into his [[Eighth Doctor|next incarnation]] in [[San Francisco]] on [[31 December]] [[1999]], following Dr [[Grace Holloway]]'s exploratory surgery on his [[firearm|gunshot]] wounds accidentally clogging a vein.
The Doctor caught up with the [[Minister of Chance]] and and convinced him to stop his madness. The Minister threatened to kill the Doctor but eventually backed down.


== Biography ==
He returned to Earth one last time to kill Tannis, however time assisted by Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. He returned to Tannis and saved Ace but at a cost. He had to sacrifice himself to kill Tannis. After doing so, the only thing that remained was his burnt question mark umbrella.
=== A day to come ===
<!--This section if for the hints and teases the Doctor finds out about his future regenerations, as well as incidents where he almost regenerates into his next incarnation. Multi-Doctor events do not belong in this section, as such events are removed from the younger Doctor's memory and he forgets the encounter, though trace memories may count.-->
The [[First Doctor]] was shown footage of the Seventh Doctor, as well as his ten other successors, by the [[Testimony]] when he expressed doubt over the [[Twelfth Doctor]]'s identity. ([[TV]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'')


When the [[Fifth Doctor]] was under the influence of the Dark, he saw a nightmare image of himself regenerating into his seventh incarnation on a blood soaked altar. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Fear of the Dark (novel)|Fear of the Dark]]'')
The Kingmaker suggested that everyone dies and that the Doctor may only be dead in this world; suggesting he is alternate. ([[NOTVALID]]: ''[[Death Comes to Time]]'')
 
[[Mawdryn]] attempted to force the Fifth Doctor to use up his eight remaining [[regeneration|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 (TV story)|Mawdryn Undead]]'')
 
The Seventh Doctor was described as "the schemer" by [[TARDIS (Prisoners of Fate)|the Doctor's first TARDIS]] to the [[Fifth Doctor]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Prisoners of Fate (audio story)|Prisoners of Fate]]'')
 
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. The Doctor himself recalled an encounter with his seventh incarnation, recalling him as a "curious little chap". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The King of Terror (novel)|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 {{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]]: ''[[The Ultimate Foe]]'')
 
[[The Valeyard]] offered to tell the [[Sixth Doctor]] of his next incarnation, whom he claimed was filled with "plots and schemes," all to win a game "that was never his to win." ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Trial of the Valeyard (audio story)|Trial of the Valeyard]]'')
 
When she met him out of sequence, [[The Rani#A new incarnation|the Rani]] told the [[Sixth Doctor]] that she was expecting "the little man with the hat and the umbrella", only for the Doctor to interrupt her before he could hear more about his future self. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Rani Elite (audio story)|The Rani Elite]]'')
 
=== Post-regeneration ===
[[File:Sixth_regeneration.JPG|thumb|left|The Doctor's sixth regeneration. ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'')]]
According to one account, the [[Sixth Doctor]], after being sapped of [[chronon energy]] whilst fighting the [[Lamprey]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Spiral Scratch]]'') suffered a fatal head injury ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Zagreus (audio story)|Zagreus]]'') due to the buffeting of the TARDIS caused by the Rani's laser bombardment. ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'')
 
[[File:Seventh Doctor Birth.jpg|thumb|The Doctor, yet to awaken from his regeneration. ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'')]]
A second account showed that the Sixth Doctor was sent a psychic signal advising him to go to the planet [[Lakertya]], despite an ominous source of [[radiation]] being nearby. Upon approaching Lakertya, the TARDIS came under attack from focused beams of the radiation being fired from [[the Rani's TARDIS]]. Whilst Mel only passed out, the Doctor was mortally wounded by the radiation. As the persona of the Seventh Doctor manifested before him, the Doctor's sixth persona dissolved into his seventh, both agreeing their future was "in safe hands." ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Brink of Death (audio story)|The Brink of Death]]'')
 
[[File:TimeAndRani.jpg|thumb|left|The newly regenerated Doctor. ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'')]]
After the laser attack, the TARDIS was caught in the Rani's [[tractor beam]], and forced to make a landing on Lakertya's surface, where the Rani and her [[Tetrap]] servant, [[Urak]], boarded the TARDIS and abducted the Doctor as his regeneration concluded, taking him to the Rani's laboratory. Awakening in the Rani's lab, the Doctor immediately recognised her, but was knocked out by Urak and injected with an [[amnesia]]-inducing drug, which allowed the Rani to trick him into assisting her with her project by pretending to be Mel. Upon regaining consciousness again, the partially amnesiac Doctor first decided to choose a new look, before returning to work on the Rani's machine, having been convinced by "Mel" that he had been working on it before an accident caused him to regenerate.
 
However, as the Doctor found what was wrong with it, the real Mel snuck into the lab and the two convinced each other of their identities, exposing the Rani's lies. Escaping, the Doctor discovered that several other geniuses from throughout time, including [[Albert Einstein]] and [[Hypatia]] had been captured to act as components of the Rani's "time brain". Forced to become the final component, the Doctor's still recovering mind caused it to spout nonsense, though he also inadvertently provided the brain with the means to determine the needed substance: [[Loyhargil]]. The Lakertyan leader, [[Beyus]], then sacrificed his life to destroy the brain and delay the launch long enough for the rocket to miss the asteroid. Rescuing the captives, the Doctor took them back to their own times. ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'')
 
Bemoaning the loss his [[umbrella]] and scarf, the Doctor went back to his wardrobe and obtained a new paisley scarf and whangee-handled umbrella. Taking the time to clean out the [[dimensionally transcendental]] pockets of his former self's patchwork coat, he sat down to sort the contents of several lifetimes, organising them into two piles, of what was useful and what was not. While doing so, he considered the consequences of regeneration, and assessed whether he was going to like his new body. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Useful Pile (short story)|The Useful Pile]]'')
 
=== Travels with Mel ===
{{section stub|Info from ''[[The Warehouse (audio story)|The Warehouse]]'', ''[[Driftwood (short story)|Driftwood]]'', ''[[Pulling Strings (short story)|Pulling Strings]]'', ''[[Uranus (short story)|Uranus]]'', ''[[Have You Tried Turning It Off and Then Back On Again? (short story)|Have You Tried Turning It Off and Then Back On Again?]]'' & ''[[The Name of the Doctor (TV story)|The Name of the Doctor]]'' needs to be added}}
 
Shortly after he dropped Mel off in [[London]], the Doctor became a prisoner at "[[the Institute]]", and sent the TARDIS back to Mel to save him. After he had been driven insane, the Doctor was found by Mel, who helped him restore his mind and sanity. Informed that the institute was run by the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]], the Doctor found that medics were conducting experiments to graft TARDIS minds into sentient life forms, and, horrified at their amoral stance, restored the TARDIS consciousnesses to their physical bodies, and freed the inmates. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Unregenerate! (audio story)|Unregenerate!]]'')
 
The Doctor took Mel to [[Sussex Downs]] in [[2040]] to show her how much human computer technology had advanced from her time. They found a community of mathematicians led by [[Thea (Daisy Chain)|Thea]], who believed that they had discovered the pattern of the TARDIS's landings on Earth and could thus predict the time and place of their arrivals. The Doctor tried to explain that it was just chance, but Thea refused to believe him. Determined to prove them wrong, the Doctor took the TARDIS back in time five weeks, thus spoiling the pattern. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Daisy Chain (short story)|Daisy Chain]]'')
 
Visiting the [[Hammerson Plastic PLC]] [[New Year's Eve]] [[1999]] gala, the Doctor revealed to Mel that its owner, [[Alisha Hammerson]], was in fact an advanced [[Auton]] under the control of the [[Nestene Consciousness]]. After her Auton workers gassed the building, the Doctor was awoken by Hammerson, and given a tour of the building. Once he reached the chamber containing the Nestene Consciousness, he distracted the Autons long enough to enable Mel to destroy their link with the nearest Nestene world, thwarting their plans of conquering the Earth once again. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Plastic Millenium (comic story)|Plastic Millenium]]'')
 
On a visit to [[Croydon]] on [[24 December]] [[1995]], Mel and the TARDIS disappeared. Investigating, the Doctor found an archaeological dig and met archaeologist [[Michael Gregson]], who told him the history of unusual phenomena attached to the site. Realising that the site was the locale of a [[temporal volcano]], the Doctor went back to 24 December [[1935]], where he rescued Mel and the Gregson family, but was forced to leave Michael behind. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[24 Crawford Street (short story)|24 Crawford Street]]'')
 
[[File:UNITE!.jpg|left|thumb|The Doctor, Mel and the Kangs. ([[TV]]: ''[[Paradise Towers (TV story)|Paradise Towers]]'')]]
Travelling to [[Paradise Towers]] so Mel could enjoy its [[swimming pool]], the Doctor found that the staff and residents residing within the Towers had all become either anarchist [[Kang]]s, cannibalistic [[Rezzie]]s or pompous [[Caretaker (Paradise Towers)|Caretakers]]. Accused of being the "Great Architect" that built the Towers, he was nearly killed by the [[Chief Caretaker]], who wanted the Tower to run the way he wanted. The real architect, [[Kroagnon]], a madman who killed anyone who moved into his creations to keep them perfect, was still within the complex, and had been using the [[Cleaner]]s to murder residents. As the Doctor and Mel investigated, Kroagnon became concerned, and transplanted his disembodied mind into the Chief, going on a murderous rampage through the complex. He was defeated when [[Pex]], the only remaining male resident, pushed him to his death down a lift shaft, sacrificing himself to prove his bravery. ([[TV]]: ''[[Paradise Towers (TV story)|Paradise Towers]]'')
 
The Doctor and Mel then travelled to [[Pax Lucis]], an English [[village]] occupied by [[Nazi]]s during the [[World War II|Second World War]]. When a barrier cut the village off from the rest of the world, the Doctor discovered the Nazis had captured the [[Lightwanderer]], a creature that fed on [[solar radiation]]. The Nazis plotted to create a barrier around the [[Earth]], which would destroy the planet. The Doctor gained an ally in the Nazis' commander, [[Luther (Special Weapons)|Luther]], who sacrificed himself by blowing up "the weapon", saving the planet. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Special Weapons (short story)|Special Weapons]]'')
 
When the TARDIS was forced to materialise in England in [[1978]], the Doctor and Mel traced the cause to an anomalous concentration of [[artron energy]] from a [[Cnidarian]] [[Artefact (The Invertebrates of Doom)|artefact]] discovered in a cave by a group of university students. The artefact summoned [[Commander]] [[Hydra Sowerbii]], who attempted to conquer Earth, but was quickly defeated. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Invertebrates of Doom (short story)|The Invertebrates of Doom]]'')
 
The Doctor and Mel foiled a [[Vardan]] invasion of Earth with [[Nikola Tesla]] and encountered [[weretarantula]]s on [[Vyga 3]]. They landed on a damaged human ship called ''[[The Duke of Milan]]'' that was trying to reach [[Dido]]. The Doctor helped the ship land on a suitable planet and helped the humans negotiate peace with [[Mogera|the natives of the planet]]. He also discovered an element native to the planet that could provide infinite power and named it [[Doctorium]]. After the planet was named [[Prosper]], the Doctor proposed to Mel that they take a holiday to Earth. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Maker of Demons (audio story)|Maker of Demons]]'')
 
In search of [[leptonite crystal]]s to combat the [[Quark]]s on the [[space yacht]] ''[[Pinto (ship)|Pinto]]'', the Doctor and Mel arrived on the planet [[Puxatornee]] in the year [[3090]], where the inhabitants were struggling to live in peace with a race called the [[Slithergee]]s, who were slowly taking over after they arrived there as refugees 30 years prior. The Doctor and Mel were forced by two inhabitants, [[Stuart (Flip-Flop)|Stuart]] and [[Reed]], to travel back to [[3060]] to kill the [[Bailey (Flip-Flop)|president of Puxatornee]] before she could invite the Slithergees to stay. When they returned from the successful assassination, history had changed so that the Slithergees instead went to war with the Puxatornees. The Doctor and Mel became separated with Stuart and Reed and captured, but realised that an alternative Mel and Doctor were due to land in the same place as them and quickly escaped back to their TARDIS and left.
 
The other Doctor and Mel successfully landed on Puxatornee, and were captured and interrogated by the new history's Lt. Stuart and Reed before the old history's Reed and Stuart arrived to help them escape, but were killed shortly afterwards. The new history's Stuart and Reed then forced the Doctor and Mel to take them back 30 years so that they could prevent the president's death and make peace with Slithergees. The Doctor and Mel took them back to 3060 to see their new history, which was the first version before he and Mel showed up. Lt Stuart and Reed then ordered the Doctor to take them back to the previous day to prevent their earlier selves from time travelling, but the Doctor couldn't as that history no longer existed. The Doctor worked out that an alternative version of himself and Mel were due to land any minute and took off in the TARDIS just as their earlier selves showed up. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Flip-Flop (audio story)|Flip-Flop]]'')
 
Arriving in Britain in 1987, the Doctor and Mel were shocked to see a tower in the exact form of a Dalek, serving as the main office of the [[Zenos Corporation]]. As Mel infiltrated the Zenos Corporation, the Doctor learned that the Daleks were working with the corporation's CEO, [[Alek Zenos]], to present themselves to the British government as interested in becoming Britain's economic partners in the galactic market. As part of this plan, the Daleks also introduced a new video game, ''[[Warfleet]]'', which allegedly depicted a space empire pursuing a rebel ship, but actually allowed the players to take control of Dalek drone ships in the future and use them against the Daleks' enemies, subverting the Daleks' usual handicap of relying on pure logic. The Doctor nearly turned the tables when Mel was able to tell the Warfleet players what was happening and convince them to help the rebels, as well as the revelation that Alek Zenos was actually a double agent working with [[Thal]] rebels against the Daleks. However, things turned against the Doctor when MP [[Celia Dunthorpe]] allied with the Daleks, believing that the economic benefits of an alliance with the Daleks were more important that the Doctor's warning about how dangerous they were. Although the Daleks almost won by using the Zenos Tower to transmit a Dalek perspective across London, brainwashing even Mel to adhere to a Dalek philosophy, the Doctor was able to cure Mel of the programming and pass on instructions before he was taken to Skaro for trial. Using the Doctor's advice, Mel was able to reprogram the time corridor in Zenos Tower to send the entire tower to Skaro, the continued broadcast of the 'Dalek Factor' causing all Daleks on Skaro to turn on each other as their natural aggression and arrogance was amplified. With the Daleks destroying themselves and the ''Warfleet'' players helping the rebels rescue the Thal slaves on Skaro, the Doctor used the building to trigger a time storm after setting up a time corridor to take himself and his allies back to Earth, the resulting storm causing most Daleks left on the planet to age to death as their parts became too old to operate. ([[AUDIO]] ''[[We Are The Daleks (audio story)|We Are The Daleks]]'')
 
Responding to a distress call, the Doctor and Mel found themselves in an abandoned human mining colony that had been re-appropriated as a Sontaran research base, only for the Sontaran research team assigned there to have gone insane, most of them now dead and the surviving commander now a gibbering wreck hiding in the cells under a blanket made from his former uniform. When a new Sontaran force was sent to investigate, the Doctor realised that the cause of the mental imbalance was the telepathic influence of a silicon-based life-form in the base's former mines, which identified itself as '[[The Bloom]]', absorbing the emotions of the residents of the facility to allow itself to grow. While the original miners had only been affected by the Bloom after prolonged exposure to it, the Sontarans' experiments at influencing human emotions had given the Bloom far more emotional material to 'feed' on, driving the Sontarans and the former prisoners to increasingly irrational actions, such as Sontarans fighting each other in the dark in a brief panic and one of the prisoners trying to break a glass observation dome despite the planet's tainted atmosphere. As a result of this emotional 'stimuli', the Bloom had achieved sentience at the cost of making it far more hostile due to the Sontarans' violent nature, now manifesting as a dust cloud that consumed the humans and Sontarans to gain their knowledge and experience. Despite acknowledging the Bloom as a sentient creature with a right to exist, The Doctor refused to let it continue in its current state due to the danger it posed to others, tricking the last Sontaran present into carrying bombs directly into the Bloom while he, Mel and the remaining human survivors retreated to the TARDIS, the Doctor hopeful that the explosion would disperse the Bloom to such an extent that it would have to start its 'evolution' over again and hopefully become something more peaceful. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Terror of the Sontarans (audio story)|Terror of the Sontarans]]'')
 
[[File:SeventhRay.jpg|thumb|The Doctor attends a jamboree with [[Rachel Defwydd|Ray]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Delta and the Bannermen (TV story)|Delta and the Bannermen]]'')]]
Winning a free vacation from [[G715]], the Doctor and Mel found themselves part of an alien expedition to experience the [[Earth]]'s "rock 'n' roll years" at [[1959]] [[Disneyland]]. After the tour was detoured to [[South Wales]], the Doctor discovered that the last [[Chimeron]] queen, [[Delta]], was amongst their party, hiding with her newborn from the vicious [[Bannermen]], mercenaries set on genocide. After defeating the Bannermen by causing their leader, [[Gavrok]], to fall into his own trap, he bid goodbye to Delta, her daughter and a [[human]], [[Billy (Delta and the Bannermen)|Billy]], who had fallen in love with her, as they departed for the Chimeron hatchery. ([[TV]]: ''[[Delta and the Bannermen (TV story)|Delta and the Bannermen]]'')
 
After escaping the explosion of a sabotaged ship, the Doctor and Mel, impersonating the murdered crew members they had encountered on the ship, found that they had arrived on [[Dark Space 8]], a space station currently hosting the [[Intergalactic Song Contest]]. Discovering that the song contest was being used as a cover for secret peace talks between [[Golos]] and [[Angvia (planet)|Angvia]], they managed to prevent the terrorist [[Loozly]] from sabotaging the conference, and helped Earth win. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Bang-Bang-a-Boom! (audio story)|Bang-Bang-a-Boom!]]'')
 
Arriving in [[Pompeii]] on [[23 August]] [[79]], the Doctor became convinced that he was destined to live out the rest of his days on Earth when the TARDIS was lost in an earthquake, setting in motion events he had already seen the result of in [[Fifth Doctor|a previous incarnation]]. Mel, unwilling to give up so easily, managed to locate the TARDIS and prove to the Doctor that the fact that his TARDIS had been found buried in the ruins of the city didn't mean that they were trapped on Earth. Allowing the TARDIS to be buried in ash, the Doctor piloted it to the same spot nearly 1900 years later, allowing it to be discovered by UNIT and setting in motion the events which had unfolded since their arrival in Pompeii. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Fires of Vulcan (audio story)|The Fires of Vulcan]]'')
 
The TARDIS was forced to land on the [[Needle (Red)|Needle]] from a psychological attack, which then affected the Doctor, he then went to explore it. After Mel was pushed out of the building he was then taken to [[Chief Blue]] and [[Whitenoise]] who told him about the building and about the chipping, which removes the ability for harm from the brain. He was chipped and had his memory altered. Soon after this he became connected to the consciousness that was causing people harm. He tried to stop Whitenoise from killing [[Celia Fortunaté]]. He then took slow in order for him to stop Whitenoise and the red infection whilst Mel reprogrammed it. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Red (audio story)|Red]]'')
 
The Doctor and Mel visited [[Llanfer Ceiriog]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark (novel)|Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark]]'') and met [[Emil Hartung]] in [[1936]] [[Cairo]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Just War (novel)|Just War]]'')
 
[[File:Departures and beginnings.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor says farewell to Mel - and hello to a new friend. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dragonfire (TV story)|Dragonfire]]'')]]
The Doctor and Mel travelled to [[Iceworld]], where they joined [[Sabalom Glitz]] and [[Ace]], a teenage girl from [[Earth]] in [[1987]], on a search to find a treasure guarded by the "dragon" living in the caverns. The group discovered that the dragon was in fact a [[Dragon (biomechanoid)|biomechanoid]] tasked with guarding the [[Dragonfire]], a power source sought by exiled criminal [[Kane (Dragonfire)|Kane]] to power ''Iceworld'', his prison ship, and return to his home planet to get revenge. However, Kane committed suicide when the Doctor showed him his planet no longer existed and that there was no-one for Kane to enact vengeance upon. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dragonfire (TV story)|Dragonfire]]'') Deducing that Ace had been deposited on Iceworld by his old foe [[Fenric]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Fenric (TV story)|The Curse of Fenric]]'') and that he could no longer avoid his responsibilities to [[Time (Set Piece)|Time]], the Doctor planted an idea in Mel's head, encouraging her to stay with Glitz with the intention to put him on the right path, and to urge the Doctor to take Ace with him. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Head Games (novel)|Head Games]]'') His manipulations were successful, and he gained Ace as a new companion, offering to take her back home to [[Perivale]] through "the scenic route". ([[TV]]: ''[[Dragonfire (TV story)|Dragonfire]]'')

While exploring the TARDIS, Ace came across a locked room containing a window that visualised Gallifrey during the Doctor's childhood, which the Doctor had bought in his [[second incarnation]]. Feeling that it served as nothing more than a reminder of the past, the Doctor set about sealing the room off. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[uPVC (short story)|uPVC]]'')
 
[[File:Ashes_to_ashes._Dust_to_dust.jpg|thumb|"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust." ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'')]]
The Doctor returned to [[Shoreditch]] in [[November]] [[1963]] to take care of events he had set in motion during his [[first incarnation]], first by retrieving the [[Hand of Omega]]. His mission was disrupted by the [[Renegade Dalek|Renegade]] and [[Imperial Dalek]]s, despite him anticipating one faction showing up, placing the Doctor, Ace and the [[Intrusion Countermeasures Group]] in the crossfire of the [[Dalek Civil War]], prompting the Doctor to join forces with Counter Measures leaders, Group Captain [[Ian Gilmore]] and Professor [[Rachel Jensen]]. Discovering that [[Davros]] was now the [[Dalek Emperor]], the Doctor used the his fanatical desire to give the Daleks the power of time travel against them, by goading Davros into using the Hand ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'') on [[Skaro]]'s second sun ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Stranger (short story)|The Stranger]]'') to create a new [[Eye of Harmony]], but instead resulted in Skaro's sun going supernova, destroying Skaro, as the Doctor had pre-programmed the stellar manipulator to do. With only the [[Supreme Dalek (Remembrance of the Daleks)|Supreme Dalek]] of the Renegade faction left to deal with, the Doctor managed to convince it that it no longer held a purpose, and it self-destructed. ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'')
 
Escaping a [[Temporal Plexus]], the Doctor and Ace arrived in a decaying universe where the Daleks were not a malevolent species. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Ripple Effect (short story)|The Ripple Effect]]'')
 
[[File:SevenLooksRightTHP.jpg|thumb|The Doctor on Terra Alpha. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Happiness Patrol (TV story)|The Happiness Patrol]]'')]]
The Doctor left Ace in the [[Great Rift Valley]], while he made various preparations in London. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Prelude Birthright (short story)|Prelude Birthright]]'') When he returned, they travelled to [[Terra Alpha]], where citizens were being executed by the [[Kandyman]] if they did not follow [[Helen A]]'s happy dictatorship. Killing her beloved pet [[Stigorax]] in self-defence, the Doctor showed Helen A that true happiness could only exist if balanced with negative emotions like sadness. Leaving citizen [[Daisy K]] and visiting [[Blues]] musician [[Trevor Sigma]] to help restore order to Terra Alpha, the Doctor and Ace departed.

[[File:SevenLeftLookingSN.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor looking for Cybermen around [[Windsor Castle]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Silver Nemesis (TV story)|Silver Nemesis]]'')]]
Arriving in [[20th century]] [[Windsor]], the Doctor found the [[Nemesis]] statue, which he sent off into space every twenty five years, had returned. Deciding to end chaos it caused, the Doctor intended to find its bow and arrow for his plan to be rid of it for good. During his search, he encountered Lady [[Peinforte]] and the [[Cyberman (Mondas)|Cybermen]]. Taking a trip back in time to see how Lady Peinforte got to the future, the Doctor discovered a chess board in her study, ([[TV]]: ''[[Silver Nemesis (TV story)|Silver Nemesis]]'') and realised that Fenric was responsible. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Fenric (TV story)|The Curse of Fenric]]'') Pretending to comply with the [[Cyber-Leader (Mondas)|Cyber-Leader]]'s orders, the Doctor prepared to send the Nemesis statue straight into the Cyberfleet, prompting Peinforte to merge with it, before launching it into space, where it exploded, destroying the Cyberships. ([[TV]]: ''[[Silver Nemesis (TV story)|Silver Nemesis]]'')
 
While travelling in the TARDIS, the Doctor received "junk mail" advertising the [[Psychic Circus]]. Deciding to attend after Ace admitted to her [[Coulrophobia|fear of clowns]], the pair discovered that the circus had been taken over by the [[Gods of Ragnarok]], who were forcing the patrons to perform for them until they lost interest; once no longer amusing, they would be killed. The Doctor took the fight to their home dimension, where he performed for them. Once he ran out of tricks, the Doctor used a [[medallion]] to reflect the Gods' blast back at them, destroying them. Their business concluded, the duo departed, leaving the sole-surviving troupe member [[Kingpin]] and werewolf-like [[Mags]] to rebuild the Psychic Circus. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Greatest Show in the Galaxy (TV story)|The Greatest Show in the Galaxy]]'')
 
Whilst holidaying by the seaside, the Doctor and Ace met a fortune-teller called [[Hiram White]], who was seemingly able to see the future. Sceptical, the Doctor discovered that he was actually a psychic alien from the planet [[Cramand]]'s moon, [[Candram]], who had developed an addiction to fake health pills. The Doctor offered to return Hiram home, but he declined, instead seeking help to travel back in time to acquire more pills to state his addiction. The Doctor respected Hiram's decision and left him, allowing him to choose his own fate. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[One Card for the Curious (short story)|One Card for the Curious]]'')
 
In [[May]] [[1963]], the Doctor was elected as an independent MP on a platform of nuclear disarmament under the pseudonym "John Rutherford". He insisted on Gilmore attending a briefing about a new intercontinental missile. When [[David Ritchie]] tried to kill Gilmore he saved his life. He decided to incorporate the Counter-Measures investigation into his own plans and helped them to decipher some of the clues. As part of it he realised that [[Martin Regan]], [[Gideon Vale]] and [[Robert Devere]] went to the same school so might be planning something. When Alison was told to assassinate him, she couldn't do it as she was told to assassinate "Rutherford" and the Doctor used this to undo her programming. He realised that the perpetrators were all born in the same place. When [[Amanda Caulfield]] told the Doctor that she was part of [[The Light (1963: The Assassination Games)|The Light]], he became very worried. He realised that their plan was to recreate the British Empire. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[1963: The Assassination Games (audio story)|1963: The Assassination Games]]'')
 
Plagued by a nagging feeling, the Doctor and Ace visited [[Bob Dovie]] at [[59A Barnsfield Crescent]] in [[Totton]], [[Hampshire]] on 23 November 1963. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Light at the End (audio story)|The Light at the End]]'')

Aiming for the planet [[Maruthea]] to attend [[Bonjaxx|a friend's]] birthday party, the Doctor instead found himself on [[Mekrom]], where he discovered a dead body and encountered a [[Foreign Hazard Duty]] team who had been summoned by the now dead crew of the abandoned base. Discovering that terrifying creatures known as the [[Mogor]] were stalking the base, the Doctor deduced that they were in fact "echoes", recorded on a form of crystal found on the planet. Proving his hypothesis, the Doctor bid goodbye to the team and set off to find Maruthea. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Echoes of the Mogor! (comic story)|Echoes of the Mogor!]]'')
 
Arriving instead on [[Tojana]], the Doctor discovered that the native race of violent and suicidal lizards were preparing a last supper for their kind before their planet was completely submerged. As the natives had become resigned to their fate, and were callously killing each other before the end, the Doctor managed to convince the one concerned lizard that it could find a way of surviving. While all the rest of the natives indulged in the slaughter of one another, the Doctor and "the [[Worrier]]" constructed a [[raft]], which they used to survive the waves which engulfed the land.

[[File:Seven brig bessie.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor is reunited with [[Bessie]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Battlefield (TV story)|Battlefield]]'')]]
Tracing a signal being broadcast from another universe, the Doctor was reunited with friend [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|the Brigadier]] as he joined forces with [[UNIT]]. Becoming embroiled in an adventure involving the inhabitants of an alternate Earth who mistook him for [[Merlin]], the Doctor discovered that the sorceress [[Morgaine]] was waiting for a final battle with [[King Arthur]].

After learning of Ace's guilt over burning down a "haunted" mansion called [[Gabriel Chase]], the Doctor brought her to the house a hundred years prior to its destruction. There, they found a menagerie of strange creatures, including a dangerously mentally unstable entity called [[Light (Ghost Light)|Light]]. Light had slept for millennia, and, upon discovering that its inhabitants had evolved while it had been in hibernation, rendering the exhaustive catalogue it had compiled centuries earlier worthless, planned to destroy the planet, ending its constant change forever. Able to use Light's childish logic against it, the Doctor convinced it to destroy itself, as it was constantly evolving as well. The Doctor then explained to Ace that the reason she burned down the mansion because of the residual presence of Light, ending her guilt. ([[TV]]: ''[[Ghost Light (TV story)|Ghost Light]]'')

After revealing to her that that he knew her arrival on Iceworld and Peinforte's time travelling had been arranged by Fenric, an evil entity he encountered before and trapped in another dimension, the Doctor discovered that it had managed to manipulate those who had come into contact with the flask which contained it, and witnessed its escape. Plagued by a horde of [[Haemovore]]s it set loose on the base, the pair discovered that the creatures were repelled by faith, and managed to engage Fenric in a final contest. Convincing the [[Ancient One]], one of Fenric's Haemovore servants, to kill his host in revenge for trying to trick it into creating its own apocalyptic future, the Doctor was forced to break Ace's faith in him in order to allow it access to Fenric. Revealing this to her, the Doctor regained her trust. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Fenric (TV story)|The Curse of Fenric]]'')

The Doctor soon discovered that {{Ainley}} was trapped on the [[Cheetah World]], and had become infected with the [[Cheetah virus]]. Planning to escape by bringing people there, allowing them to partially change into [[Cheetah People]] and then using them to travel back to Earth, the Master had kidnapped Ace and many of her old friends. After saving Ace and her friends, the Doctor fought with the Master, but refused to continue when he saw that the destruction of the Cheetah World had begun. He managed to return to Earth, leaving the Master trapped on the exploding planet. ([[TV]]: ''[[Survival (TV story)|Survival]]'')
 
The Doctor picked up a distress signal and followed it to [[Prague]], where he and Ace met [[Elizabeth Holub]], and worked together in order to prevent a young girl called [[Napev]], who had the ability to create whatever she wanted, from launching a series of vicious attacks on the city to avenge the death of her father.

Tracking a rift in space and time, the Doctor and Ace visited the planet [[Epajaenda]], soon to be turned into a dumping site for toxic waste. They joined the frog-like [[Traveller (Last Rites)|Travellers]], a tribe who lived on the Epajaenda, in a bid to regain the rights to their home world from a [[businessman]] called [[Abraham-Derris Cuthbertson]]. The Doctor helped to open a water rift above Epajaenda, making it a habitable planet. However, their plan was opposed by a swarm of deadly rats, led by a [[Rat King]] and a [[Rat Emperor]]. At the last moment, Cuthbertson rescinded the dumping and honoured the terms of his contract with the Travellers, sacrificing his life to close the rift.

[[File:DoctorGenocideMachine.jpg|thumb|The Doctor on Kar-Charrat. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Genocide Machine (audio story)|The Genocide Machine]]'')]]
Travelling to [[Kar-Charrat]] to return some overdue library books, the Doctor reunited with his old friend, [[Elgin (The Genocide Machine)|Elgin]], who proclaimed to have warded off the Dalek attacks. However, the Daleks had never left, and had used time corridor technology to deploy hidden Dalek pods on every planet in the sector to wait for a time-sensitive to revive them. After a [[Dalek duplicate|duplicate]] of a captured Ace infiltrated the base and successfully downloaded the collective knowledge of the entire universe into a Dalek test subject, who went out of control, the Doctor ventured on to the planet's surface, and discovered that the famous Kar-Charrat ziggurat was a Dalek pod. The Doctor was then forced to surrender to the Daleks to ensure Ace's safety, and was connected to the [[Wetwork]]s so his mind could be used to process the data. While he appeared to be killed in the process to the Daleks, the Doctor's mind was absorbed into the Wetworks, where he made contact with the [[Kar-Charratan]]s, natives enslaved by Elgin in order to enable the Wetworks to function, and promised to set them free.
 
Aided by the Kar-Charratans, the Doctor escaped the Daleks with Ace, Elgin, [[Bev Tarrant]], and [[Prink]], but they were intercepted by the duplicate Ace, who threatened to kill Elgin, but was destroyed by Prink's sacrifice. With Ace pretending to be her own duplicate to get past the Daleks, the Doctor proceeded to the Wetworks with the intention of destroying it. At the facility, the Doctor witnessed the Dalek test subject and the [[Dalek Supreme]] arguing, the test subject having obtained a conscience and refusing to obey the Dalek Supreme's order to destroy the facility. Leaving after deeming their mission a failure, the Supreme Dalek left the [[Special Weapons Dalek]] to kill the test subject, but the facility was destroyed by Ace's [[Nitro-9]] before it could, the explosion also freeing the Kar-Charratans.

=== Trouble with the Timewyrm ===

[[File:Timewyrm_Genesis_Prologue_illustration_2_DWM_175.jpg|thumb|left|Ace and the Doctor in the TARDIS, preparing to land in Mesopotamia. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Genesys (novel)|Timewyrm: Genesys]]'')]]
Receiving a warning from his [[Fourth Doctor|fourth incarnation]] about a Time Lord demon called the [[Timewyrm]], the Doctor and Ace traced a time anomaly to the kingdom of [[Uruk]] in Ancient [[Mesopotamia]], where they joined an expedition, led by [[Gilgamesh]], ruler of Uruk, to a kingdom called [[Kish]]. The Doctor was kidnapped by followers of Ishtar, the "goddess of Love and War", but was saved by Ace. Having learnt that Ishtar, in reality a stranded alien named Qataka, planned to influence the whole world using radio transmitters, the Doctor sent Ace off to investigate the [[Zuqaqip]] god [[Utnapishtim]], before entering her inner sanctum. Captured by Ishtar, she attempted to steal his mind in order to gain the knowledge of time travel. After Kish was attacked by a city-like spaceship operated by Ace and her Uruk allies, the Doctor tricked Ishtar into infecting herself with a Zuqaqip virus. She survived, infiltrating his TARDIS and torturing his mind. The Doctor trapped her in the secondary control room and jettisoned it into the time vortex. After uniting Kish and Uruk, the Doctor was horrified to discover that Ishtar had survived and was now a living time machine: he had created the Timewyrm. Realising her powers could destroy time completely, the Doctor set off on a mission to locate and destroy her. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Genesys (novel)|Timewyrm: Genesys]]'')
 
In pursuit of the Timewyrm, the Doctor piloted the TARDIS to a divergent version of [[1950]]s Earth from a timeline where the Nazis had won World War II and were now rulers of the whole planet, but he and Ace were accused of being resistance fighters and arrested by [[Anthony Rupert Hemmings]]. Escaping imprisonment, and with the TARDIS in the possession of [[Adolf Hitler]] and Nazis, the Doctor witnessed the murder of a Reichsinspektor General and the planting of an incriminating package on him before he died. Posing as the General, the Doctor began working with General [[Otto Strasser]] in order to gather information on the new timeline, but a vengeful Hemmings exposed both his and Ace's true identities. Escaping in the TARDIS, the Doctor travelled to [[1926]] and gained Hitler's trust by giving him the faith to begin World War II. Skipping forward in time, he arrived in 1936, where he was hailed by the Nazis and Hitler as a "hero", becoming his personal advisor. Realising the Timewyrm was controlling Hitler's mind to change history, the Doctor visited him at points when the Nazis invaded various countries across the world. However, he discovered amongst Hitler's closest allies was his old Time Lord enemy, [[the War Chief]]. He stopped the War Chief from stealing his remaining regenerations, killing Ace as a human sacrifice and building a Nazi army to conquer the galaxy. Finally, after destroying the War Chief and his new "War Lords," the Doctor visited Hitler in [[1940]] and drove the Timewyrm out of his body, banishing her into the time vortex. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Exodus (novel)|Timewyrm: Exodus]]'')
 
After defeating her in the far future, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Apocalypse (novel)|Timewyrm: Apocalypse]]'') the Doctor entered into a final battle with the Timewyrm within his own mind. Successfully banishing the Timewyrm's power into dormancy and erasing its memories, he saved its "essence" and implanted it in the mind of a genetically-engineered infant who had previously had no upper brain functions. He gave the baby to [[Emily Hutchings|Emily]] and [[Peter Hutchings]], who lived in [[Cheldon Bonniface]], and asked they name her Ishtar. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Revelation (novel)|Timewyrm: Revelation]]'')
 
Returning to the hospitalised Ethan Amberglass, the Doctor entered his dreams and built him a mindscape to explore during his last year of life in a coma. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Algebra of Ice (novel)|The Algebra of Ice]]'')

Becoming increasingly concerned about the multitude of alien beings which had recently been drawn to Earth and the TARDIS' own limited scope of travel of late, the Doctor began to suspect that the [[Mandragora Helix]] had survived within the TARDIS, and shared his suspicions with Ace. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Distractions (comic story)|Distractions]]'') Discovering that the TARDIS was physically linked to Earth, he uncovered a plot involving a drug being sold in nightclubs named [[Mandrake]], which the Helix was using to possess users.

Drawn to a newspaper report regarding a disappearance, the Doctor brought Ace to a [[beach]] in [[Blackpool]], where he defeated an [[Ogri]] that had been reduced to sand, which had been using the form of a skeleton to kill sailors since the [[19th century]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Seaside Rendezvous (comic story)|Seaside Rendezvous]]'')
 
Visiting the planet [[Sorsha]], the Doctor and Ace became involved in the efforts of a group of [[Marine]]s towards making use of ancient [[Lom]] technology. After one of the Marines accidentally reactivated "[[the Grief]]", an ancient Lom progenitor device, the visitors were forced to enter into combat against a rapidly multiplying army. Reactivating the planetary shield created by the [[Sorshan]]s, the team's scientist, [[Skrane]], released the Sorshan toxin which had wiped out the Lom thousands of years earlier, giving the two time travellers just enough time to escape. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Grief (comic story)|The Grief]]'')
 
While dining at an [[Ealing]] café, the Doctor and Ace were alerted to an incursion on the TARDIS, and returned to find a creature trying to leech of its power, but was stuck between the "inside" and "outside" of the TARDIS. Before the Doctor could find a way to fight off the creature, the TARDIS collided with an experimental [[time vessel]] from ancient Gallifrey, the [[Time Scaphe]], which activated the [[Banshee Circuits]] and caused the TARDIS to reconfigure itself into a multi-dimensional [[city]], which the Doctor called a [[SARDIT]]. The creature, now calling itself the [[Process]], attempted to regain the "Future" which the Doctor had "stolen" by attempting to kill him, but failed.
 
Realising that the fluidity of time within the city had created three zones representing the Past, Present, and Future, and that the Process had made itself ruler of the city while using [[insectoid]] guards created from the Scaphe crew to search the city for the Future in exchange for food, the recovering Doctor trapped the Process in an [[Architectural Configuration]] until it died. A younger Process summoned the [[egg]] from which it had hatched, intending to ensure its Future and the creation of a new world by supervising its own birth, but [[Vael]], intending to kill the Doctor, accidentally turned the full force of his pseudo-pyrokinetic mind against the egg, incinerating it and preventing the Process and its timeline from coming into being.

The Sycorax managed to get some of his blood in order to control him, but because he was a Time Lord he didn't have full control. Under this control they made him fight Zanzibar for control of the humans. With the stuff he got Zanzibar to collect he managed to get the Sycorax under blood control.

Entering [[Puterspace]], the Doctor was attacked by the [[Vacuum Church]], working in league with the Hoothi, and forced to relive the slow death of his [[Third Doctor|third incarnation]], until he was freed by [[Christopher (Love and War)|Christopher]], a psychic Traveller.
 
Realising the danger the falling Hoothi fibres would cause, the Doctor ordered Benny to quickly unearth the observatory, which could detect otherwise invisible [[Hoothi sphere]]s, and, knowing that the [[pyrokinetic]] Traveller [[Jan Rydd]], whom Ace had fallen in love with, had been infected by a fibre, the Doctor ordered him to travel to the sphere. After using [[Brother]] [[Phaedrus]] of the Vacuum Church to summon the sphere to Puterspace, the Doctor used Christopher to send a message to Jan to ignite the sphere, killing himself in the process.

Interrogating the Doctor, the [[Dalek Emperor]] discovered that Davros was on [[Spiridon]], and transported him and his friends to the planet to aid the Daleks in their search. Discovering that Davros had used the Daleks frozen on Spiridon to create a new Dalek army for himself, the Emperor's Daleks launched an attack on Davros' army, with Doctor and his friends captured by Davros, who destroyed the Dalek Emperor and returned to Skaro with the now unconditioned allies, only for the group to escape with Daak's assistance.

Attracted to death, Decay boarded the space station, but the Doctor managed to contain Decay within the TARDIS, and, after it refused his offer, Decay claimed a final life, ending its own life in the process. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Death Collectors (audio story)|The Death Collectors]]'')
 
Whilst waiting for Decay to leave the TARDIS into the vortex, he got drawn to [[Keldafria]] where he met the Marshall Princesses [[Alison Keldafrian]] and [[Louisa Keldafrian]]. He was given a Blood flower which caused problems as he started flitting about in time and experienced time in the wrong order. He realised that there was a time loop around the palace he was in and it had something to do with the Blood Flower, and that it was a prison for one of the princesses. He discovered that there was a being he called [[Henry (Spider's Shadow)|Henry]] who trapped the princesses in the loop to stop their troops killing his people and the Doctor's presence stopped Henry's plan from working.  ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Spider's Shadow (audio story)|Spider's Shadow]]'')
 
Arriving in the remains of the [[Drashani Empire]], the Doctor met a mercenary called [[Vienna Salvatori]], who had been hired to capture him for a bounty payment. He soon encountered an old enemy, [[Kylo Sorsha|Tenebris]], who he had discovered was, in fact, Kylo Sorsha, a prince he had left stranded on the planet [[Sharnax]] when he first encountered the Drashani Empire. Sorsha plotted to take revenge against the Doctor for leaving him stranded on Sharnax, but the Doctor defeated him, and departed from the empire.

He then met up with Benny and started acting manically and got in her way. He got some advice from a drunk man on how to get Benny back. He realised he could be a random influence and crashed the ship he was on. Whilst the Doctor and Benny were tied up, his coat did a runner. It returned being worn by one of the locals. Returning to lucidity after Renk was exposed, the Doctor alerted Benny to Ace's disappearance ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Revolution (audio story)|The Revolution]]'') and sent her on a mission to track her down. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Good Night, Sweet Ladies (audio story)|Good Night, Sweet Ladies]]'') He couldn't land on [[Skaro]] because of Ace's time lock, so waited until it collapsed enough to allow him in. He revealed to Benny that in his darker hours he wonders if the Daleks are his fault. He gave Benny the Omega device so that she could stop the time loop. After the trio were reunited on Skaro, the Doctor convinced Benny to accompany him and Ace on their travels to keep the peace between them until he returned her to Gallifrey to continued her studies. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Lights of Skaro (audio story)|The Lights of Skaro]]'')
 
Whilst Benny was taking a fortnight off to attend [[Peter Summerfield|her son's]] [[wedding]], she discovered the Doctor in a pyramid on [[Mars]]. He was fighting possession by [[Sutekh]] and tried to stop him from being reborn into a new body. He spent his time taunting Sutekh after Benny trapped him in the sarcophagus chamber. When Sutekh was trying to regain control of the Doctor's mind, the Doctor heard the Cloister Bell which agitated Sutekh. After his possession was rescinded, the Doctor cured Benny and Sutekh's body disintegrated. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Pyramid of Sutekh (audio story)|The Pyramid of Sutekh]]'')
 
Ace also said that he had seen him die in [[1940]]s Egypt. He was not dead, the version Benny had seen was an avatar of himself, he was in fact trapped in the Bank of Isis. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Vaults of Osiris (audio story)|The Vaults of Osiris]]'') 
 
Isis took him back with Benny to Ancient Egypt to the time where the Osirans where reigning the country. He said that he had been there since he left Ace in the 1940s for twenty years. He planned on marrying [[Hatshepsut]] to get the building materials he needed. When Sutekh arrived he saved Benny from imprisonment. He was planning a way to defeat Sutekh whilst pretending to court Isis, by using Osiran technology. He was imprisoned in his tomb with Benny. He projected his mind into Hatshepsut to say goodbye and give her a final gift a way out of her tomb. Ace rescued him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Eye of Horus (audio story)|The Eye of Horus]]'') 
 
<span>He travelled to the </span>[[29th century]]<span> to see the devastation of Sutekh. He met with </span>[[Isis]]<span> and tried to get her to remember her true self. The Doctor wanted to leave but Ace wouldn't let him without Benny. When Sutekh met with him, he sent skeletons after him and Ace. He tricked Sutekh into thinking he had won and created and an Ouroboros loop trapping Sutekh. Iris used her powers to bring the Doctor back when Sutekh dragged him back in time. (</span>[[AUDIO]]<span>: </span>''[[The Tears of Isis (audio story)|The Tears of Isis]]''<span>)</span>
 
The Doctor tasked Ace with preventing time travelling criminal duo [[Harmonious 14 Zink]] and his wife [[1V Magda]] from interfering with established history on the planet [[Erratoon]]. On this mission she encountered, and believed she had befriended, the living [[Core to the Key to Time|Tracer]] who would later go by the name [[Zara]], but was betrayed by her, losing a great deal of her memories in the process. Seeing that she had been successful, the Doctor arrived to pick her up, intending to restore her memories using the TARDIS. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Prisoner's Dilemma (audio story)|The Prisoner's Dilemma]]'')
 
Recalling that [[Edvard Munch]]'s ''[[The Scream]]'' was about to disappear under "mysterious circumstances", the Doctor decided to travel to the gallery housing it, planning to add it to his personal collection, as it was part of established history that it would be stolen. He and Ace arrived on [[Duchamp 331]], a barren, dusty planet, and discovered the painting had been inhabited by the [[Warp Core]], which was animating the planet's dust. Whilst investigating, they re-encountered [[Bev Tarrant]] and discovered the Master had been reverted to the decaying form by the Warp Core. The Master planned to unleash the Warp Core on the universe as an animated planet, but the Doctor, Ace and Bev managed to stop him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Dust Breeding (audio story)|Dust Breeding]]'')
 
After arriving at [[Colditz Castle]] during the [[Second World War]], the Doctor was shot in the shoulder by [[Nazi]]s, the TARDIS was confiscated, and Ace was captured. Surviving his wounds, the Doctor was questioned over his strange biology and unusual possessions, and was placed in [[Elizabeth Klein]]'s custody after handing her his TARDIS key to ensure Ace's safety, though he failed to understand how Klein knew about his TARDIS. It soon transpired that Klein originated from divergent timeline, where the Germans had won the war, the Doctor's TARDIS was discovered and he was apparently killed, with Klein travelling to the Doctor's timeline to capture him so he could teach her to fully control the TARDIS.
 
Forced to cooperate for Ace's life, the Doctor discovered that the TARDIS in which Klein had arrived had dematerialised, forcing her to demand use of the TARDIS the Doctor and Ace had arrived in. Returning to Colditz Castle, the Doctor manipulated [[Kurtz]], a duty-bound officer, into exposing Klein, and prevented Klein's timeline from ever coming about by locating the CD-player Ace had left behind. Attempting to gain access to the TARDIS whilst it was dematerialising, Kurtz was torn apart on a molecular level, while Klein escaped, now an anomaly. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Colditz (audio story)|Colditz]]'')
 
Attempting to find somewhere quiet and peaceful for Ace to relax at after Colditz Castle, the Doctor brought her to [[Ibiza]], where a DJ called [[Gabriel (The Rapture)|Gabriel]], who believed that he was an angel, was working together with his brother, [[Jude (The Rapture)|Jude]], in a rave club. The Doctor and Ace discovered that the brothers were using powers from another dimension to raise an army out of the young people who came to party at their club, recruiting them to fight a war between their people and a militaristic race. The Doctor stopped Gabriel, but was unable to prevent his death, prompting a traumatised Jude to expedite their plans, and the Doctor was forced to stop him as well, while Ace developed a bond with her previously unknown long-lost brother, [[Liam McShane]]. Though they spent several days getting acquainted, Ace decided her life was too complicated to add a brother to it, and departed with the Doctor.

On [[2021]] Earth, the Doctor and Ace investigated signs of alien technology in use at [[St Gart's Brookside Hospital]] in London. Whilst combating a Cyberman threat, they encountered [[Hex|Thomas Hector Schofield]], known as "Hex," a nurse working at the hospital, and the trio worked together to prevent a plot to create super-soldiers augmented with Cyber-technology. Following their adventure, Hex joined the Doctor and Ace in their travels. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Harvest (audio story)|The Harvest]]'')
 
They landed on [[Uluru]] whilst it was travelling through space. He wanted to explore the local area to find out what was happening there and why it was strange. He then became part of the Dreaming when he was attacked by a strange creature. He then spent time walking around the dreaming, where he met [[Whitten]]. He pleaded with [[Baiame]] to save Whitten's people which he did but it caused problems. He was called back from the Dreamtime. He then asked [[Korshal]] to stop what he was doing. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Dreamtime (audio story)|Dreamtime]]'') Later, the team prevented the [[Kragvar]] from invading [[Palanor]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Afterlife (audio story)|Afterlife]]'')
 
The group went for breakfast on London's South Bank, where they soon discovered that both London and the TARDIS weren't real. Voyaging into the depths of the fake TARDIS, the Doctor found that he and his companions had been entrapped by a vortex predator. They eventually located the real TARDIS and escaped back into the real universe. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast (short story)|Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast]]'')
 
After arriving on [[Colony 34]], the Doctor discovered a conspiracy involving the government and decided to run for president. The reigning leader was trying to avoid an election for fear of losing, and was using his power to stage terrorist attacks and discredit the parties that stood against him. After faking his own death, Ace and Hex helped him to expose everything the government had been trying to keep secret, including the deaths of colonists whose bodies were used as fuel. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[LIVE 34 (audio story)|LIVE 34]]'')
 
The Doctor sent Ace and Hex to [[Monte Carlo]] in [[1969]] to recover the diamond known as the [[Veiled Leopard]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Veiled Leopard (audio story)|The Veiled Leopard]]'') while he visited [[Evelyn Smythe]] on [[Világ]], so he could tell her that he was travelling with [[Cassandra Schofield]]'s son. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Thicker Than Water (audio story)|Thicker Than Water]]'')
 
Taking Ace into a cabin after she fell into a [[lake]], the trio witnessed a series of deaths amongst the group of academics staying there, and discovered that they were experimenting with time with a device they called the [[Bartholomew transactor]], so they could send a message back to warn their past selves about misdiagnosing a deceased girl named [[Edie O'Neil]]. However, the interference with the timeline caused Edie to be transformed into a zombie-like state of limbo, and the Doctor realised that the misdiagnosis had never been genuine, and that the whole series of events were part of a cruel time experiment conducted by [[Major]] [[Dickens (Night Thoughts)|Dickens]]. Intending to correct the academics' mistake, the Doctor travelled back to undo the damage, but was unable to bring himself to kill the child, allowing the zombie-Edie to come into being. Returning to the present, the Doctor discovered that the academics were now all deceased, and, theorising that the zombie-Edie was responsible for the deaths, keeping herself "alive" through her own use of the transactor, the Doctor, Ace and Hex departed. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Night Thoughts (audio story)|Night Thoughts]]'')
 
He took Hex to [[Drogheda]], [[Ireland]] in [[1649]] to teach him some useful skills. He was then asked by [[Kieran Fitzgerald]] to look after his wife [[Mary Fitzgerald]]. Whilst the fighting was going on, he comforted her and talked to her. After taking Mary to [[Wexford]], he had to help her give birth.

On landing in the [[World War I|First World War]], they were caught in a blast and taken to [[Charnage Hospital]]. Lt. Col. [[Brook (No Man's Land)|Brook]] told him that he had orders about him, for him to investigate a crime that hasn't been committed yet. Private [[Taylor (No Man's Land)|Taylor]] tried to attack him and Ace with a bayonette. When [[Wood (No Man's Land)|Wood]] was murdered he realised that the orders where actually a cry for help. With Taylor's help he stole Brook's files concerned that the advances that Brook made was too dangerous if other people got hold of it, as he found that it drove the soldiers to attack themsleves. He found in Brook's office a letter confirming that he worked for the Forge. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[No Man's Land (audio story)|No Man's Land]]'')
 
The trio arrived on [[Nocturne (planet)|Nocturne]], a favourite destination of the Doctor's, and became embroiled in a mystery involving the murders of members of the artistic community.

After defeating the creature, the Doctor bid goodbye to his friends in the commune, vowing to return. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Nocturne (audio story)|Nocturne]]'')
 
After escaping from a snot monster, the Doctor, Hex and Ace landed on [[Tuin]], for a twin moon festival. On landing there he realised that the planet was a graveyard. He wanted to end the war between the [[Ri]] and the [[Ir]] by getting married. He was sent into quiet contemplation before being burned at the stake, becoming the Dark Husband. [[Ori]] and [[Irit]] told them the stories of the creation of their races. He realised that the wedding would destroy both races so pulled out of the wedding.

([[AUDIO]]: ''[[False Gods (audio story)|False Gods]]'')
 
The Doctor, Ace and Hex travelled to the island of [[Mendolovinia]] in [[33]] AD to help solve a code, but fell into a trap laid by [[the Order of Simplicity]]. He was infected with a virus that drained the intelligence from the [[brain]] to an IQ of 45, but managed to use the intellect of primitives to free himself. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Order of Simplicity (audio story)|Order of Simplicity]]'')
 
The TARDIS crew attempted to track down an alien artefact that controlled others into telling the truth.

=== Battling the Elder Gods ===
Lured into the [[Celestial Toyroom]], the Doctor, Ace and Hex managed to aid a group of humans in defeating the [[Celestial Toymaker]], trapping him inside a ventriloquist's doll. In order to prevent him from ever resurfacing, the Doctor arranged for Ace and Hex to attend to the running of a mock-up sanatorium where he and the various other guests were kept unaware of their true situation. Despite their best efforts, the Doctor uncovered his own plan and the Toymaker resurfaced and managed to trick the humans into playing against him for their greatest desires in a bid to reassert himself as controller of the Toyroom. However, [[Swapnil Khan]], the final player, managed to trap him in a stalemate, enabling his daughter, [[Queenie Glasscock]], and the three travellers to escape the Toyroom and return to the real world, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Magic Mousetrap (audio story)|The Magic Mousetrap]]'') though the Doctor was now aware of Fenric's impending return, having found a chess set in the sanatorium. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Gods and Monsters (audio story)|Gods and Monsters]]'')
 
Landing on [[Bliss (planet)|Bliss]], a jungle planet under Dalek attack, the Doctor set out to ensure that an atrocity which was due to be committed in the coming hours would happen. While Ace and Hex aided the base personnel in a battle with the Daleks, the Doctor discovered that [[Toshio Shimura]], a local professor, had combined larvae and [[piranha locust]] [[DNA]] to create a new species called the [[Kiseibya]], created to be the natural predator of the Daleks. But, the Kiseibya, after decimating the Dalek forces, quickly became uncontrollable, and the Doctor planned to blow up the base and slaughter the Kiseibya himself, but [[Beth Stokes]], a former [[prisoner]] of the Daleks, chose to take his place, staying behind to finish the job. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Enemy of the Daleks (audio story)|Enemy of the Daleks]]'')
 
The TARDIS next landed in the [[Crimea]] in [[1854]], where Hex spent a considerable period recovering from the trauma he had experienced on Bliss by providing assistance to the wounded, where he met his idol, [[Florence Nightingale]]. Discovering that they were already caught up in events prior to their arrival, the Doctor and Ace travelled back a short period of time, only to be accused of being spies. Whilst they attempted to convince their captors otherwise, they witnessed the exterior shell of the TARDIS shatter after the [[HADS]] was activated by a direct hit from cannon fire, leaving them stranded. He was later captured by [[Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy]] and sent to [[Tsar]] [[Nicholas I]] as a prisoner of war but he managed to escape and made his way to Ace knowing that when his TARDIS disappeared it would be tracking her as she was the last person in contact with it.  After the TARDIS reformed its shell without its regular colouration, the Doctor and Ace hurried to pick up Hex. Arriving just too late to prevent Hex from being shot, the Doctor set a course for [[St Gart's Brookside Hospital]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Angel of Scutari (audio story)|The Angel of Scutari]]'')
 
Arriving in [[2025]], the Doctor managed to successfully perform surgery on Hex, saving his life. Realising that London was under quarantine, he was captured by [[William Abberton|Nimrod]] and the Forge and forced him to find a solution to stop the infection spreading. He was infected and spent his time trying to fight the infection whilst Nimrod was scanning him. Nimrod told Hex discovering that the [[Sixth Doctor]] had been witness to his mother's death. Hex started to have a go at him about this. After Cassie was resurrected, the Doctor convinced her to attack Nimrod by telling her of all the important mile stones in Hex's life Nimrod took from her. The Doctor admitted to Hex that he was extremely proud of him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Project Destiny (audio story)|Project: Destiny]]'')
 
Tracking down a Time Lord casket which Forge agent [[Lysandra Aristedes]] claimed was present within the Forge Vault, the Doctor discovered that it contained the unconscious body of an older version of his current body. Witnessing his future self warning them about the return of [[Nobody No-One]], he was forced to sacrifice himself to stop Nobody. Resurrected by Ace, with help from his future self, the Doctor defeated Nobody with the help of [[Evelyn Smythe]], who convinced Hex that it wasn't the Doctor's fault that his mother died. After witnessing Evelyn's death, Hex decided to rejoin the TARDIS crew. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[A Death in the Family (audio story)|A Death in the Family]]'')
 
Shortly afterwards, the TARDIS landed in [[1930s]] [[Alaska (state)|Alaska]], with the Doctor intending to investigate a strange ice formation. The travellers soon met an expedition team looking for an ancient chamber containing "horrors from the dawn of time", and the Doctor and Ace became separated from Hex and the expedition team. Presumed dead, the pair arrived at what appeared to be an island psychiatric facility and met [[CP Doveday]], a poet who claimed to live on the island, who took them to the person in charge. There, the Doctor learned that the entire facility was in fact a prison for three dormant [[Karnas'koi]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Lurkers at Sunlight's Edge (audio story)|Lurkers at Sunlight's Edge]]'')
 
Growing a new TARDIS with a black [[police box]] exterior, the Doctor left Hex and Ace, and began travelling on his own for a while, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Black and White (audio story)|Black and White]]'') sending the "White TARDIS" to an [[alternative timeline]] [[1989]] to test his companions. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Protect and Survive (audio story)|Protect and Survive]]'') During a test run of the "Black TARDIS", the Doctor arrived aboard the [[cargo ship]] ''[[Lorelei]]'' shortly before the murder of [[Tal Karus]].  He met [[Liv Chenka]] posing as an engineer and persuaded her to investigate Tal's death. He started to the investigate the murder whilst trying to find his Black TARDIS. He encountered [[Sandminer robot]]s which were being transported by the ship and activated them. Liv watched the Doctor being murdered on a security video but the Doctor showed her how he survived. After more murders happened he was imprisoned, but told Liv to examine the bodies to determine who killed them. He was rescued by a robot and managed to persuade Liv that the robots where not killing the humans. When a robot attacked him he found out that [[Farel]] was behind the situation due to him having [[Grimwade's Syndrome]]. After managing to get the ships controls unlocked he wanted to alter the ships course but found that the robots had already done it, and put the ship on course to hit the sun.  ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Robophobia (audio story)|Robophobia]]'')
 
Whilst trying to get to [[Celdor]] the Black TARDIS took the Doctor to what appeared to be [[16th century]] [[Florence]]. He became interested when the [[Astrology|astrologer]] [[Nostradamus]], predicted that the [[Kro]] would invade. When the Doctor realised that [[Garilund]] was a [[Poldagon]] he became concerned about the invasion. He tried to negotiate with the Kro to stop their invasion of "Earth". When he tried to escape the invasion with Nostradamus he was taken to the Poldagon ship for property theft. Administrator [[Brors]] thought he was there to hire the facility, the Doctor wanted to stop him. Gariland told him that if she could prove Nostradumus' precognition powers Brors would have to admit that humans were sentient beings. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Doomsday Quatrain (audio story)|The Doomsday Quatrain]]'') The Doctor became part of [[Blue Fire Project]] where he met [[Private]] [[Sally Morgan]], a subject of the project, whilst visiting Earth in the year [[2020]]. He became part of the dreamworld and helped Sally and the fellow subjects more information of their predicament. After all of them either died or escaped in the dreamworld he was revived and thought what was happening was a disaster. He tried to explain that what the experiments where detrimental, and that [[Magnus Soames]] was doing something wrong in exploring remote emotional programming.  He attempted to defeat the [[Elder God]] known as the [[Mi'en Kalarash]], by using a Temporal trap. This trap failed and he was dragged into their hands. But he managed to eventually defeat them. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[House of Blue Fire (audio story)|House of Blue Fire]]'')
 
Together, the Doctor and Sally tangled with numerous Elder Gods, defeating an army of dead lizards reanimated by their Ancient God, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Black and White (audio story)|Black and White]]'') and checking up on hieroglyphics on [[Mars]] in the tomb of an ancient star-god. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Gods and Monsters (audio story)|Gods and Monsters]]'') After a battle against an Elder God known as the [[Kai'lizakia]], Lysandra joined them in the "Black TARDIS", ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Project Nirvana (audio story)|Project: Nirvana]]'') and the trio continued to seek out and battle Elder Gods such as the [[Animus]] and the [[Great Intelligence]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Black and White (audio story)|Black and White]]'')  He took them on a mission to [[Romania]] in [[2015]] to capture [[Derleth]]. He couldn't land there so Sally and Lysandra had to parachute out of the TARDIS. He didn't tell Lysandra that she was going into her own past. He was appalled at [[Nimrod]]'s plan to use Derleth to make soldiers that would make the enemy easy targets. He was possessed by Derleth but Lysandra finished his plan to capture it. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Project Nirvana (audio story)|Project: Nirvana]]'') At one point the Black TARDIS landed in the prison [[Peggy Marsden|Peggy]] and [[Albert Marsden]] were in, he initially didn't realise it was an alternate reality and tried to change it back to the timeline he knew. He first tried to stop [[Petrov (Protect and Survive)|Petrov]] from pressing the button in retaliation to the American Attack. He then tried to stop [[Mitchell (Protect and Survive)|Mitchell]] from sending the original missiles. After this failed he went to [[Schumacher]] to try and stop him from attacking the protesters, tracking this event as the start of the war, but when this didn't work he decided to stop the Election of [[Vladimir Kryuchkov]] but found out that the Elder Gods were manipulating events and imprisoned them as Peggy and Albert. The Doctor would release them if they learnt to be human. In the end of he gave them a version of the [[Prisoner's Dilemma]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Protect and Survive (audio story)|Protect and Survive]]'')
 
The Black TARDIS arrived in [[5th century]] [[Denmark]], where the Doctor became stranded when the Black TARDIS, containing Sally and Lysandra, departed for an alternative 1989. The Doctor proceeded to leave clues for Ace, Hex, Sally and Lysandra to restore the original TARDIS and destroy the Black TARDIS by retrieving an artefact called [[Weyland's shield]], before being kidnapped ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Black and White (audio story)|Black and White]]'') by Fenric and taken to a [[pocket universe]].
 
Freed by his friends after they deciphered his instructions, the Doctor learned that Fenric was playing a game against another Elder God called [[Weyland]] for control of Weyland's shield, which could grant omnipotence to an Elder God, and that they had been used as pawns by Weyland to help him win the game against Fenric. As he was destined to become the quintessential pawn in Weyland's plan, Hex managed to banish Weyland and stop the game, but became possessed by Fenric, and thus sacrificed himself to prevent Fenric from permanently gaining power over him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Gods and Monsters (audio story)|Gods and Monsters]]'')
 
Seeming unfazed by Hex's apparent death, the Doctor returned Lysandra and Sally to their homes, and intended to take Ace somewhere to take her mind off of Hex, but the grieving Ace demanded the Doctor tell [[Hilda Schofield|Hex's grandmother]] what happened to him. Landing in [[2020s]] [[Liverpool]], the Doctor informed Hilda Schofield of her grandson's death and organised a wake for him.
 
However, the Doctor soon found Hex to be alive and acting as a local crime lord named "Hector Thomas", having had his memories removed by an [[Elemental (Afterlife)|Elemental]] named [[Koloon]] after Hex made a deal to be removed from the Elder Gods' realm and returned to Liverpool. From this revelation, the Doctor managed to locate Koloon, but was unable to prevent Hex's memories from being destroyed. Enraged, the Doctor banished Koloon back to realm of the Elder Gods with a warning to fear him, and was forced by Ace, who was unwilling to accept the death of Hex or the loss of his memories, to take Hector with them in the TARDIS. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Afterlife (audio story)|Afterlife]]'')
 
He grew concerned when Hector managed to pilot the TARDIS, especially after where the TARDIS landed. On exploring [[Titan Base]], he realised that [[The Swarm (The Invisible Enemy)|the Swarm]] wasn't a naturally occurring virus, it was genetically created from the [[Saturnian plague]] Ace had caught. He managed to remove the Nucleus' control from Hector. After he found out that history had returned to its right course, he left with a cured Ace and Hector. Though he thought Hector was cured, the Nucleus retained control and knocked the Doctor out. He realised that the Swarm was in the Bi-Al's computer and it wanted to use the [[Hypernet]] to become corporeal again. He decided to go into the hypernet to stop the Nucleus. [[Talin]] helped their progress by first giving them a pair of bikes then Ace a gun. The Doctor then inoculated Hector against the swarm and took him into the hypernet and used him to create an anti-virus programme. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Revenge of the Swarm (audio story)|Revenge of the Swarm]]'') He decided to visit to Ancient [[Greece]] to help Hector recover. He often came to Athens as he was [[Aristophanes]] sponsor. When [[Cleon]] stole [[Tyrgius]]' mask, the Doctor had to devise a way to stop them using one of Aristophanes plays and metebelis crystals. After this Hector demanded they return him home. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Mask of Tragedy (audio story)|Mask of Tragedy]]'') Returning to Liverpool two years after their last visit, hoping he couldn't return to his old life. Upon landing he detected a vast psychic disturbance and started to investigate [[Rufus Stone]]. He then started to argue with him about the end of the world. The Doctor and Ace managed to both prevent the destruction of the planet and restore Hex's memories and bid him a fond farewell. With a truce called between the Elder Gods and the Doctor, he and Ace set off for new adventures. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Signs and Wonders (audio story)|Signs and Wonders]]'')

After the Doctor offered Ace the chance to practice piloting the TARDIS, she inadvertently materialised inside a facility run by the [[Porcian]] [[Chimbly]]. Discovering that they were being manipulated through the use of a captured [[Resurrectionist]], the Doctor tricked Chimbly into firing on the cage apparatus imprisoning it, simultaneously freeing the tortured creature and the race he had enslaved from its psychic control. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[You Are the Doctor (audio story)|You Are the Doctor]]'')
 
After visiting a seemingly haunted house where he solved a murder mystery, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Come Die With Me (audio story)|Come Die With Me]]'') and becoming involved in a heist in the [[Grand Betelgeuse Hotel]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Grand Betelgeuse Hotel (audio story)|The Grand Betelgeuse Hotel]]'') the Doctor managed to stop a [[Galparian]] plot to eradicate all life on Earth in order to sell the planet. Realising that their recent trips had all been attempts by the TARDIS to track down an old friend, the Doctor offered to give it a little help. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Dead to the World (audio story)|Dead to the World]]'')
 
=== Klein's revenge ===
Arriving in British [[Kenya]] during the [[Mau Mau Uprising]] of [[1953]], the Doctor reencountered his old adversary [[Elizabeth Klein]], who was investigating a mysterious virus she recalled from her timeline. Despite their animosity, they worked together to solve the mystery of the alien virus and prevented a [[Cheylis]] plot to use Earth as a testing ground for biological warfare. Knowing Klein would continue to pose a threat to history so long as she remained at large, the Doctor insisted that she accompany him on his travels so that he could keep a closer eye on her, which she agreed to do. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[A Thousand Tiny Wings (audio story)|A Thousand Tiny Wings]]'')
 
Upon taking her to the TARDIS, the Doctor requested Klein recount what caused her to use the TARDIS that resulted in the destruction of her timeline, and discovered that his alternate timeline counterpart had orchestrated his regeneration into his [[Johann Schmidt|eighth incarnation]] to manipulate Klein into using the TARDIS and restoring the timeline. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Klein's Story (audio story)|Klein's Story]]'')
 
After travelling together for a while, the Doctor and Klein arrived on a planet inhabited by the insectoid [[Vrill]]. He found it interesting that the Vrill communicated through scent, meaning that they weren't capable of lying. He got annoyed at the humans for using nerve gas on the Vrill. He helped [[Butterfly (Survival of the Fittest)|Butterfly]] to hatch but lost his TARDIS key in the process. He got disgusted on discovering [[Jackson (Survival of the Fittest)|Jackson]]'s plan to kill the Vrill to grab their food source. He explained to them that this didn't mean the death of the Vrill just that all the Vrill left to hatch were to become warriors. In the midst of an attack, Klein took her chance for revenge against the Doctor, stealing his TARDIS and abandoning him on the planet. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Survival of the Fittest (audio story)|Survival of the Fittest]]'')
 
After Klein used the TARDIS to rewrite history so that the Nazis won the war, and helped the [[Galactic Reich]] conquer potential threats by travelling into the past to warn them in advance. After time was rewritten the Doctor mind was placed in this alternate timeline's Doctor whilst he was imprisoned in the [[Moonbase (The Architects of History)|Moonbase]] and had to work out what his other self's plan was. Klein often visited him here. He was released when the [[Selachian]]'s attacked, something his alternate self had arranged, and used it as his advantage, especially when he noticed the use of Time Lord technology as part of the attack. During the attack Klein was imprisoned and the Doctor interrogated her. She was foiled by the alternate timeline's Doctor and erased from history by the Time Lords. With history restored, the Doctor paid a visit to UNIT, where he encountered a different version of Klein working there.

Sensing his end approaching, the Doctor became afraid that his next incarnation wouldn't be strong enough or be willing to do what needed to be done, and began to put all his affairs in order while he still could, to leave nothing unsung when his time came. To this end, he began to monitor interstellar communications across thousands of worlds, from the wireless communications of a multitude of law enforcement organisations to the private correspondence of governments and the criminal underworlds. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Persuasion (audio story)|Persuasion]]'')
 
Revisiting the planet [[Spiridon]] to ensure that [[Kalendorf]] fulfilled his destiny, the Doctor soon realised that he would have to get involved in order to keep the situation under control. He made a deal with the Daleks to help them achieve their goal of invisibility without suffering from the [[light wave sickness]], in exchange for Kalendorf's safety. After many years, he completed the formula, but betrayed the Daleks at the last moment, exposing them and himself to the sickness, though, refusing to regenerate, he managed to escape back to his TARDIS, where he was healed. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Return of the Daleks (audio story)|Return of the Daleks]]'')
 
[[File:7RaineMasterTARDISes.jpg|thumb|The Doctor and Raine meet the Other Doctor. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Dominion (audio story)|Dominion]]'')]]
While the Doctor was travelling with [[Raine Creevy]], the TARDIS was pulled into another dimension by a distress signal, and landed on a barren planet, just as [[Goth's TARDIS|another TARDIS]] arrived with an {{Macqueen|n=apparent future incarnation of the Doctor}}, who claimed to be working with UNIT on Earth and, warning the Doctor of a mistake he was about to make, urged him not to help the [[Tolian]]s before departing. However, the Doctor ignored the warning and planned to return the power leeched from the planet by a [[dimensional node]] back to the Tolians, and was able to restore the planet to fertility, but the Tolians, wanting the full flow of dimensional energies, captured Raine and threatened to kill her if the Doctor didn't increase the output. Despite knowing that the act would result in chaos across all dimensions, the Doctor resignedly did as the Tolians demanded and opened up a [[dimensional rift]], but quickly rescued Raine and jumped into the rift, explaining that creatures from other dimensions would now be able to freely hop around. Entering into the new dimension, the Doctor and Raine found themselves on a volcanic world inhabited by [[Lava Spider|lava-spewing spiders]] and, after noticing another dimensional door which the arachnids were using to cross over to Earth, the pair were rescued by the Other Doctor with a [[Skyhead]]. The Doctor learned that [[Elizabeth Klein]] had confiscated the Other Doctor's TARDIS to force him to help UNIT fend off the dimensional escapees, and pleaded to use a dimensional node in Klein's possession to close up the breach, but was refused.
 
While the Other Doctor and Raine travelled to [[Japan]] to ward off a gestalt [[cephalopod]]ic species called the [[Nexus]], the Doctor and Klein visited a UNIT post in [[Nevada]] in an attempt to deal with the [[Cube (Dominion)|flying metallic cubes]]. Using their weakness to heat, the Doctor and Klein had the Skyheads start a firestorm to drive the cubes back to their dimension, but the cubes joined together in a final attempt to blow the dimensional doorway, prompting Klein to call the Other Doctor for help. However, the Other Doctor demanded the release of his TARDIS before he helped them, only to fly off on a Skyhead and flee with his TARDIS and the dimensional node when Klein gave in, but the Doctor managed to hurry after him and enter his TARDIS, and discovered that the "Other Doctor" was really the Master in disguise.
 
Having infiltrated a Time Lord base on [[Tersurus]] to gain the only two dimensional nodes in existence, the Master had planted the first on the Tolians's planet and the second on Earth. After supplying the Tolians with a communicator to contact the Doctor, he arrived on Earth and proceeded to infiltrate UNIT under the guise of the Doctor. Now ready to commence his endgame, the Master hooked the Doctor up to the node activator, intending to use his mind to gain total control over the flow of energy throughout the dimensions. However, the Doctor managed to convince the Tolians to betray the Master by informing their leader, [[Arunzell]], of the fact that the Master had planted the dimensional node on their planet in the first place, and deactivated the activator, restoring the dimensions. Abandoning the Master to the Tolians, the Doctor returned to Earth and used the final node to return the Tolians to their home dimension. Leaving Klein a [[space-time telegraph]] with which she could contact him should she need his help again, the Doctor departed with Raine. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Dominion (audio story)|Dominion]]'')
 
[[File:AceDeadGroundZero.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor cradles Ace's body. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Ground Zero (comic story)|Ground Zero]]'')]]
Travelling with Ace, who was kidnapped by [[Threshold|the Threshold]], the Doctor tracked her down to another plane of existence. Travelling there at the expense of his TARDIS, he witnessed her sacrifice her life in order to destroy one of the [[Lobri]], psychic parasites feeding off the human race's collective fear and hatred. Devastated, the Doctor cradled her dying body in his arms as she whispered him a final goodbye. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Ground Zero (comic story)|Ground Zero]]'') Deeply depressed about the affair, the Doctor allowed the TARDIS to reform itself to reflect his depressed mood. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Threshold (short story)|The Threshold]]'')
 
After completing a reconfiguration of [[TARDIS control room|its console room]], the TARDIS brought the Doctor once more to [[Artaris]] where he encountered Lord Sutton, the latest incarnation of the Warlord [[Grayvorn]]. Grayvorn had been reduced to a spirit after their last encounter and had managed to possess a new host before sculpting [[Excelis]] once more into a war-driven dictatorship, using the souls of the rebels of Excelis to power his army of "meat puppets". The Doctor used [[The Relic (Excelis Dawns)|the Relic]] to free the souls, but Grayvorn activated a self-destruct which would destroy Artaris. The Doctor tried to help, but was forced to escape alone, leaving the people of Artaris to die in the explosion. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Excelis Decays (audio story)|Excelis Decays]]'')
 
Saddened and alone, the Doctor travelled to the Forge in the hope of shutting it down once and for all. There, he found what appeared to be [[Sixth Doctor (clone)|his sixth incarnation]] assisting Nimrod, and reluctantly helped the organisation fend off a telepathic alien incursion. His predecessor's arm was lost in the battle, confirming the Doctor's belief that this Doctor was a fake. The fake Doctor explained that Nimrod used DNA samples from the real Sixth Doctor to create clones, in an attempt to learn the secrets of regeneration, though, like his two "brothers" before him, the clone was rapidly deteriorating. The Doctor revealed to the clone that he had glimpsed suppressed memories during their telepathic contact, prompting him to discover a wing of the base full of decrepit and dying clones. Struggling to cope, the clone initiated the Forge facility's self-destruct, allowing the Doctor only five minutes to escape, and killing everyone who remained inside the base. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Project Lazarus (audio story)|Project: Lazarus]]'')
 
Travelling to the planet [[Pelachan]], the Doctor discovered the [[Hand of All]], an artefact that contained a living story. Taking it, the Doctor went to combat a regenerated version of [[Nobody No-One]], trapping him in the Hand inside his mind. He then travelled to the Forge and locked himself inside a Time Lord sarcophagus, waiting until he was found by [[Ace]] and his younger self. As he lost control of the Hand, he warned them that Nobody No-One would return before falling comatose. Upon reawakening, he discovered his younger self had died defeating the Word Lord, and took it upon himself to bring [[Hex]] to [[Evelyn Smythe]] on Pelachan and leave Ace with a [[TG tablet]] and a [[Lime (fruit)|lime]] before he faded out of existence, having set up the circumstances to enable his resurrection. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[A Death in the Family (audio story)|A Death in the Family]]'')
 
Burning back into existence on the planet [[Perfugium]], the Doctor discovered that his deal with [[Death (Timewyrm: Revelation)|Death]] to give the Master a normal life for ten years was coming to its conclusion, and it was time for him to honour his side of the bargain and kill the Master. The Doctor tracked down the Master, who was living as a disfigured amnesiac named John Smith in a manor house, and joined him and his friends, [[Jacqueline Schaeffer|Jacqueline]] and [[Victor Schaeffer]] in their evening's entertainment. However, the Doctor could not bring himself kill the Master as he was enjoying his second chance at life, only for the Master's housekeeper to reveal herself as Death, who the Doctor made another deal with after witnessing Victor killing Jacqueline: if the Master could make the right decision, then he would be free. However, the Master struggled when Death presented her choice: his life, as her servant, or the life of Jacqueline, with whom he was in love with.
 
In the end, Death took the Master and, as punishment for not holding up his end of their bargain, sent the Doctor away take the place of an assassin and murder an innocent in cold blood. The Doctor travelled to the destination and encountered a sniper about to take his shot, interrupted him and recounted his story. The Doctor still refused to kill his target, but discovered that the sniper was in fact Death, who had known he wouldn't be able to, and departed while proclaiming to know his inevitable fate. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Master (audio story)|Master]]'')
 
Seeking to "get one over" on Death, the Doctor saved a [[Tramp (The Tramp's Story)|tramp]] from allowing himself to be run over by a [[bus]] in order to save the life of [[Rita (The Tramp's Story)|Rita]], the bus driver, who would otherwise have committed suicide. Following this, the pair shared several adventures, including an encounter with [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|Mozart]] and {{Champion}}, before the Doctor was forced to admit to the tramp that his mission hadn't been to save him. Honouring his wish for death, the Doctor removed him from time, placing him aboard the [[airship]] present within the [[time vortex]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Tramp's Story (short story)|The Tramp's Story]]'')
 
The Doctor visited [[Valhalla (city)|Valhalla]], the Capital City of [[Callisto]], and became embroiled in a plot by a swarm of evolved [[termite]]s to take over the city and sell its population as [[slave]]s. After thwarting their plan, he offered a maintenance worker named [[Jevvan]] the chance to travel with him, but was turned down. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Valhalla (audio story)|Valhalla]]'')
 
Tracking a strange signal, the Doctor arrived on the planet [[Tasak]] and encountered an android named [[Temeter]], who was tracking the same signal, and the pair formed an alliance. Travelling across [[Argent City]] via the monorail transport system to the [[Grand Citadel]] of the [[House of Argentia]], the pair discovered a plot by the members of the [[House of Sarkota]] and found [[Sara (Kingdom of Silver)|Sara]], who Temetre had been trying to rescue. However, before they could leave, the trio were arrested as spies and brought to the banquet hall, where a Cyberman statue was unveiled, and the Doctor's warnings about the dangers of Cyber-technology were ignored. As Argentia was taken over by the leaders of Sarkota in a coup, the Doctor and his allies discovered that the core of the planet's technology repository, [[the Silver]], was a Cyberman device, and that a hibernating squadron of Cybermen were still present on the planet. Upon awakening, the Cybermen began to convert the planet's inhabitants, but the Doctor managed to lead them into a trap before destroying the entire repository. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Kingdom of Silver (audio story)|Kingdom of Silver]]'')
 
In search of [[fluid link]]s for his TARDIS, the Doctor travelled to the [[Easto Cluster]] and landed at a [[Reclaim Station]], where he and the mechanic, [[Two'Mark]], were approached by a small robot who recognised the Doctor. Back in his TARDIS, the Doctor activated a holo-glyph control and started to play back a recording made by [[Sara (Kingdom of Silver)|Sara]]; the recording detailed her prosecution following a failed mission and her penalty was to have her consciousness transferred to a worker robot with her emotional capabilities stripped away. Feeling melancholy, the Doctor offered to pay Two'Mark for the fluid link, but the engineer stated that their discovery had gotten him in the mood to be generous, and allowed him to have it on the house. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Keepsake (audio story)|Keepsake]]'')
 
Visiting Ancient [[Mars]], the Doctor managed to stop an attempt to take over the Martian government made by [[Arakssor]] with the support of a band of warmongering Ice Warriors, and, with the help of [[Geldar]], ensured that Arakssor and his band of war criminals were sentenced to life imprisonment in [[Antarctica]]. However, Arakssor staged an escape that resulted in the Doctor, and everyone within the facility, becoming trapped in suspended animation beneath the Antarctic ice. With his memories gone, the Doctor was unearthed with the Ice Warriors by a human expedition in [[2012]]. Arakssor quickly resumed his gambit, planning to power the prison's [[sonic cannon]] to eradicate the Earth's greenhouse gases, thus making the planet into a fortress that Martian life could thrive in, wiping out the human race in the process.
 
As his memories began to return, the Doctor commandeered a [[helicopter]] with [[Genevieve Marceau]], the expedition's [[physicist]], and crash-landed near the dig site after the helicopter was hit by [[Ssrongar]]'s sonic cannon. The Doctor reactivated Geldar's distress signal and boosted it to contact a Martian warship from the other side of the galaxy, which bombarded the prison from orbit, destroying Arakssor and the rest of the Ice Warriors. The Doctor and Genevieve fled to the safety of the TARDIS, and returned to the ''[[Fortitude (Frozen Time)|Fortitude]]'' to drop Genevieve off. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Frozen Time (audio story)|Frozen Time]]'')
 
Under the guise of Mr. Ashcroft, the Doctor took possession of the surveillance tapes of [[Bianca's]] bar. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Wormery (audio story)|The Wormery]]'')
 
While tracking gaps in reality, the Doctor found himself on a ship belonging to the last of the [[Rocket Men]], where he was briefly captured until he was released by [[Jemima (The Two Masters)|Jemima]], the Rocket Mens' unwilling 'cabin boy', and the Master, currently in his decayed appearance and claiming that he needed the Doctor's help to defeat his greatest adversary in the form of the Master's future self. Tracking the future Master to where he was currently acting as the general in an alien war, the Doctor was tricked into delivering a 'gift' from the other Master in the form of a sonic emitter that destroyed the future Master's silicon-based army. When the burned Master took the Doctor prisoner and confronted his other self, the Doctor realised that the two Masters were somehow in each other's bodies. With this discovery, coupled with the Masters referencing prior encounters with his immediate two previous incarnations that he couldn't remember, the Doctor deduced that the two Masters were responsible for the previously-detected gaps in reality due to their current paradoxical state. Although the Doctor was able to convince them not to compound the paradox by trying to send the younger Master into ''his'' body, the two Masters, once restored to their own bodies, stole the Doctor's TARDIS and fled the currently-crashing ship, mockingly informing the Doctor that Jemima had already been killed. However, the Doctor was able to take refuge in an energy-seeking missile and flee the destruction of the ship, using the missile to find the Master's TARDIS and then track the two Masters to the only part of reality left intact as reality collapsed. Arriving at his destination, the Doctor learned that the Masters had been switched by the [[Cult of the Heretic]], who sought to unmake the universe in the name of [[The Heretic]], a renegade Time Lord who believed that the universe was 'sick', the two Masters having already killed the entire Cult. Before the Masters could kill the Doctor or remake the universe, the Doctor was able to knock them down using the sonic emitter, subsequently using the Cult's equipment to remake the universe as it had been before, his own two changes being to send the two Masters back to wherever they had been before they made contact with the Cult and to restore Jemima to a life where she had never been captured by the Rocket Men in the first place. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Two Masters (audio story)|The Two Masters]]'')
 
=== Search for the Persuasion machine ===
The Doctor detected that [[Kurt Schalk]] in [[1945]] had become the most wanted man in the universe, and set out to discover why.  ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Persuasion (audio story)|Persuasion]]'') Knowing that [[Elizabeth Klein]] was somehow connected to Schalk, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Daleks Among Us (audio story)|Daleks Among Us]]'') he travelled to the [[1990s]] to take her with him on his search for answers. He managed to make Klein follow him from a pub into his TARDIS, unintentionally with junior science officer [[Will Arrowsmith]] in tow. Travelling to [[Dusseldorf|Düsseldorf]] in 1945, they met [[Kurt Schalk|Lukas Hinterberger]], a Nazi who claimed to be one of Schalk's colleague, who apparently recognised Klein and immediately opened up to her, raising suspicion from Klein and the Doctor.
 
Hinterberger told them about beings called the Struwwelpeter, and eventually agreed to take them to Schalk. Arriving on the Greek island of [[Minos]], they came face to face with the Struwwelpeter, godlike beings from another universe whose true names were the [[Shepherd and Shepherdess]]. Considering this universe to be evil and decadent, they gave Schalk the knowledge to build a device known as the [[persuasion machine]] so that they could manipulate all beings in the universe to submit to their will. The Doctor trapped them on [[New Peerlessness]], a prison planet near [[Kasterborous]], but was unable to prevent the [[Klecht]] entity from taking Schalk, forcing the TARDIS crew to search for him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Persuasion (audio story)|Persuasion]]'')
 
The Doctor found a weapons auction intergalactic commercial being presented by [[Garundel]], and realised Garundel was auctioning Schalk alongside a prototype of the persuasion machine. Fearing his presence would raise suspicion, the Doctor sent Klein and Will to reclaim Schalk and steal the device before it was sold, while he waited in the TARDIS for them to enable him to land inside the compound.
 
After Will gave the safety signal, the TARDIS was intercepted by [[Ziv]], Garundel's assistant, who had taken Will hostage and locked him out of the space ship, as the auction was invaded by the [[Sontaran]]s. Forced to accompany Garundel to find Will and Ziv, the Doctor learned that Schalk seemingly didn't have knowledge of the machine, and aided Garundel in making his pod fast enough to catch up to Will and Ziv. Catching up with their assistants, the Doctor and Garundel were fired upon by the Sontarans, who had taken Klein hostage, but the they managed to escape the ship via a teleport, reuniting with both Will and Ziv.
 
While negotiating Klein's release, the Doctor discovered that the man they were selling was not Schalk, but [[Lukas Hinterberger|a different man]] he had met in [[Minos]], and that he was dead. Using the prototype of the machine to persuade Garundel and Ziv to rescue Klein, the Doctor explained to Will that the body they had found was actually that of Hinterberger; Schalk had used the machine to convince Hinterberger he was Schalk and then used it on himself to convince himself that he was Hinterberger. The Doctor boarded the Sontaran ship and, after reuniting with Klein and Will, reluctantly allowed Marshall [[Stenn]] to have his revenge on Garundel, taking his dismembered hand to free the TARDIS from his lockdown. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Starlight Robbery (audio story)|Starlight Robbery]]'')
 
Returning to [[1945]] Minos, the Doctor, Klein and Will discovered that the [[Dalek]]s were also searching for the [[Persuasion machine]]. Travelling to [[Lemuria]], the Doctor was told that Schalk was on the planet [[Azimuth]], where the trio discovered that it had become illegal to mention the Daleks by name, which got Will arrested when the Doctor mentioned them. After getting an audience with a Dalek clone of Schalk, the Doctor and Klein concluded that the Daleks were still hidden on Azimuth. The Doctor revealed to Klein that there was a blood connection between her and Schalk, prompting her to ask him to take her to 1945 to discover the truth, just as Will returned and told them about a man called "Father" that wanted a meeting with the Doctor.
 
Going to the meeting alone, the Doctor discovered that Father was actually [[Davros]], and the two were taken to the Daleks and Schalk, enabling the Doctor to deduce that Klein had travelled in the TARDIS to three weeks before they first arrived in Düsseldorf, discovered that Schalk was her biological father, and that she was engineered to operate the persuasion machine. At that moment, Klein returned in the TARDIS and, having seemingly reverted to her original counterpart, claimed to be willing to become the tool for the persuasion machine. A man called [[Falkus (Daleks Among Us)|Falkus]] then entered the room and, revealing himself as Davros's "son", ordered the Daleks to exterminate Schalk, but Klein forced the Daleks and Falkus to die with the power of the machine. Will returned with the Shepherd, who threatened to kill them all, but Klein used the power of the machine to kill the Shepherd, dying in the process.
 
After ensuring that Davros' escape pod would land on Lemuria, the Doctor and Will noticed that the Klein who had just died was actually [[Elizabeth Volkenrath|her mother]], prompting them to search for Klein on 1945 Earth. Tracking her to [[Russia]], the Doctor apologised to Klein for judging her by her Nazi counterpart, just as Will alerted them to the fact that they were surrounded by the [[Red Army]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Daleks Among Us (audio story)|Daleks Among Us]]'')

Following a devastating incident, the Doctor decided to travel alone when he realised he couldn't trust himself with another life while serving the "greater good". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Resurrection of Mars (audio story)|The Resurrection of Mars]]'') Becoming weary of his solitude, the Doctor decided to create a robotic companion, which he named [[Catherine Broome]]. The duo travelled together for a while, facing the Cybermen and [[Gelsat creatures]] whilst the Doctor allowed Cat to believe that she was from the 20th century. Arriving on [[Haven (planet)|Haven]] in the [[28th century]], the Doctor revealed Cat's true nature to her in time to avert a catastrophe on a spaceship. In order to prevent the destruction of the ship, and the deaths of many colonists, Cat travelled through hazardous corridors to the control to save the lives of hundreds. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Companion Piece (novel)|Companion Piece]]'')
 
The Doctor was reunited with Nimrod, who had been connected to the main Forge computer, [[Oracle (Project Lazarus)|Oracle]]. Realising that he was now the new leader of the Forge, the Doctor left Nimrod a [[syringe]] containing the Twilight cure beside him, which would remove his vampirism. However, considering the desiccated state he was in, only the vampire DNA was keeping him alive, and using the cure would cause his death. The Doctor departed, leaving it up to Nimrod as to what he would choose. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Twilight's End (short story)|Twilight's End]]'')
 
The Doctor decided to take a long overdue vacation to the planet of [[Ormelia]], and materialised the TARDIS aboard a spaceship orbiting the planet. There he befriended a genetically reconstructed creature named [[Vilgreth]], but discovered that his ship travelled through space by devouring planets, and was forced to stop him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Last of the Titans (audio story)|Last of the Titans]]'')
 
[[File:Seven in the Void.jpg|thumb|The Doctor works with his other selves within the Void. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Lost Dimension (comic story)|The Lost Dimension]]'')]]
Along with seven other incarnations, the Seventh Doctor became trapped in [[the Void]] when it began to attack and devour the universe. He and the others were able to form a [[dimensional bridge]] to allow the [[Eighth Doctor]] to escape, and were then joined by the [[War Doctor]], followed shortly by the [[Ninth Doctor|ninth]], [[Tenth Doctor|tenth]] and [[twelfth incarnation]]s, who ventured into the [[Type 1]] TARDIS responsible for the disturbance. Forming a plan with the trapped [[Eleventh Doctor]], the Doctors joined their TARDISes to pacify the Type 1 into a peaceful state and return the universe to normal. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Lost Dimension (comic story)|The Lost Dimension]]'')
 
Now working on behalf of the Time Lords, the Doctor managed to capture and deliver the insane Time Lord known as [[the Eleven]] to [[Padrac]] on Gallifrey, and watched him going into cold storage before Padrac informed him that the President had one last task for him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Eleven (audio story)|The Eleven]]'')
 
=== Retrieving the Master's ashes ===
[[File:Seven sees the Master has escaped.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor discovers that the Master's casket is empty. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'')]]
Either due to being telepathically contacted by him, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Novel of the Film (novelisation)|The Novel of the Film]]'') instructed by [[Romana II|Romana]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'') or informed by [[Padrac]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Eleven (audio story)|The Eleven]]'') the Doctor learned that {{Roberts}} had been tried on [[Skaro]], where he had been found guilty and executed for his crimes by the [[Dalek]]s, with his last request being that the Doctor transport his remains back to Gallifrey. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') Knowing his chances of surviving the mission were slim, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'') the Doctor agreed to stow away his ashes safely ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') and used a faulty [[Chameleon Arch]] to turn himself half-human in order to trick the Master in the event of his escape. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Forgotten (comic story)|The Forgotten]]'')
 
The Doctor travelled to Skaro, at a point in time before the [[Hand of Omega]] apparently destroyed it, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[War of the Daleks (novel)|War of the Daleks]]'') and somehow claimed the Master's ashes from the Daleks. However, en route to Gallifrey, the Master escaped from his casket in the form of a [[Deathworm Morphant]] and damaged the inner workings of the TARDIS console, forcing the TARDIS to make an emergency landing in [[San Francisco]] on [[30 December]] [[1999]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') Needing to find his bearings to figure out how to expurgate the Master from his ship, the Doctor left the TARDIS without properly checking his surroundings, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Novel of the Film (novelisation)|The Novel of the Film]]'') and was caught in the middle of a gang shootout, getting himself shot once through the shoulder and twice in the leg. Before falling unconscious, the Doctor saw the Master exiting the TARDIS in liquid form, and tried to warn a survivor of the shootout who came to his aid, [[Chang Lee]], to stop him, but Lee could make no sense of the Doctor's warning.

Lee hailed an [[ambulance]], and the Doctor was taken to [[Walker General Hospital]], where the bullets were found to have caused only minor injuries and removed. However, the medical team assumed that he was fibrillating and that the [[X-ray]]s showing his two hearts were a double exposure, and [[cardiology|Cardiologist]] Doctor [[Grace Holloway]] was called to undertake exploratory surgery to "fix" his abnormal heartbeat. The Doctor woke up just as Holloway began the surgery, and tried to stop her operating on him by explaining his non-terrestrial origins, but Holloway and the surgeons believed him to be acting irrational due to the pain and quickly put him under [[anaesthetic]]. Shaking off the effects to give one last warning about the Master, the Doctor was rendered unconsciousness. Holloway rapidly became lost in the Doctor's cardiovascular system, and he began to flatline when she damaged his circulatory system with her probe. Though the team attempted to revive him, their attempts only allowed to Doctor to awaken briefly, and he was pronounced dead after he let out a final scream.
 
Unlike his previous deaths, this regeneration did not begin promptly; his successor attributed his delayed regeneration to having been under anaesthesia at the time. The hospital staff locked the Doctor's dead body inside a cold chamber, with a "John Doe" toe tag attached and a sheet placed over his body. Several hours later, within the hospital morgue, the Doctor's corpse contorted and crackled with electrical energies as the regeneration process began, giving him new life in the form of [[Eighth Doctor|his eighth incarnation]].

=== Post-mortem ===
<!--This section is for instances where a future Doctor degenerates back into this incarnation, a manifestation of his memory comes into play during future events, or the Doctor encounters a memory of this incarnation in some form.-->

When the [[Eighth Doctor]] was exploring his own mind, he saw the Seventh Doctor sleeping in a garden of roses, holding his umbrella "like a child [would] a stuffed animal". When the Eighth Doctor tried to dive deeper into his memories, the Seventh Doctor awoke to stop him, and forced him to leave his mind. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The City of the Dead (novel)|The City of the Dead]]'') While meditating, unable to access the blocked-off part of his mind, the Doctor saw the Seventh Doctor again, who asked the Doctor how Ace’s memory of her trip to Paradise Towers could be relevant. He also told the Doctor that there are 153,841 blossoms in the garden, and that the trick to counting them is to subtract five from the end, a clue to the Time Lord minds within the Doctor's head.

When the [[Ninth Doctor]]'s Sin-Eater became conscious due to the Doctor's telepathic nature, it mutated to show the Seventh Doctor's face, among other incarnations, straining against its body. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Sin-Eaters (comic story)|Sin-Eaters]]'')
 
[[File:The Doctor's ten incarnations appear together.jpg|thumb|The Seventh Doctor helps face [[Es'Cartrss]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Forgotten (comic story)|The Forgotten]]'')]]
When the [[Tenth Doctor]] was confronted by [[Es'Cartrss]] within the TARDIS' Matrix, he summoned the Seventh Doctor, among his other past incarnations, to use their united memories and willpower to take back control of the Matrix. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Forgotten (comic story)|The Forgotten]]'')
 
During many failed attempts to duplicate the [[Tenth Doctor]], defective copies of all his past incarnations were created instead, including the Seventh Doctor. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Breakfast at Tyranny's (comic story)|Breakfast at Tyranny's]]'')
 
[[File:Pull to Open.jpg|thumb|left|The Seventh Doctor judges the [[Eleventh Doctor]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Pull to Open (comic story)|Pull to Open]]'')]]
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 Seventh Doctor, interrogating him over the crimes. When he offered the rationale that he always left things better than he found them, they all turned and left him in disgust and disgrace. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Pull to Open (comic story)|Pull to Open]]'')
 
When the Eleventh Doctor was attacked by [[the Then and the Now]] on [[Lujhimene]], the Seventh Doctor was among the incarnations seen as the Doctor's timeline was almost destroyed. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Running to Stay Still (comic story)|Running to Stay Still]]'')
 
[[File:All 11 Doctors Dead Man's Hand.jpg|thumb|The Seventh Doctor appears in the [[T'keyn Nexus]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Dead Man's Hand]]'')]]
When the Eleventh Doctor entered into the [[T'keyn Nexus]] in order to defend himself, Matrix projections of his previous incarnations, including the Seventh Doctor, appeared inside it to defend themselves as well. After the [[Sixth Doctor]] denied [[Es'Cartrss|auditor Sondrah]]'s accusation of being a meddler, the Seventh Doctor admitted to have meddled "just a little" in the Earth's affairs. When Sondrah tried to turn this against the Doctor by pointing out the destruction of [[Skaro]], the Seventh Doctor denied responsibility, citing that the Daleks had destroyed it with their "greed and arrogance", and that he had only provided them with means. 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 (comic story)|Dead Man's Hand]]'')
 
[[File:Day of the Doctor end scene.jpeg|thumb|left|The Seventh Doctor appears in the [[Eleventh Doctor]]'s dream. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'')]]
After saving [[Gallifrey]] from [[the Moment]] at the conclusion of the [[Last Great Time War]], the Eleventh Doctor dreamed of himself standing with all his past incarnation, including the Seventh Doctor, as he thought about his search for Gallifrey. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'')
 
When he was exposed to energy from a [[time storm]], the [[Twelfth Doctor]] degenerated through all of his previous incarnations, including the Seventh Doctor. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Lost Magic (audio story)|The Lost Magic]]'')

== Alternate timelines ==
[[File:Ace_and_7_LATE.JPG|thumb|left|The Seventh Doctor and Ace arrive in the Master's trap. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Light at the End (audio story)|The Light at the End]]'')]]
Drawn in by a signal, the Doctor and Ace were forced to land in a pocket universe built on [[23 November]], 1963, where they began to see images of the past and future of the TARDIS, and encountered the [[Sixth Doctor]] and [[Peri Brown]], who had also been brought there. Investigating further, the Seventh Doctor discovered that {{Pratt}} was also present, and found out that the Master's plot was to erase his timeline by planting a [[conceptual bomb]] inside [[Bob Dovie]] so that Bob's inability to accept the [[Fifth Doctor]]'s TARDIS would cause the TARDIS to explode across its own timeline. Though he attempted to contact the Time Lords, the Doctor was unable to as his TARDIS began to explode. The Sixth Doctor, however, was able to bring the Seventh Doctor and his other incarnations together using a dimensional stabiliser, and the Fifth Doctor stopped the bomb from going off by showing Bob the inside of the TARDIS in [[1962]], ensuring that he would not consider it impossible when he re-entered it in 1963. Afterwards, the [[First Doctor]] turned off the automatic distress actions which had brought all of the Doctors to the pocket dimension, triggering the TARDIS' destruction, making it so none of it had happened. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Light at the End (audio story)|The Light at the End]]'')
 
In an [[alternative timeline]], the Doctor was able to save [[Jan Rydd]] and his fellow Travellers on Heaven in 2570, and, in yet another alternative timeline, was beheaded by an [[Ice Warrior]] on [[Peladon]] in [[3985]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[So Vile a Sin (novel)|So Vile a Sin]]'')
 
In another alternative timeline, the Doctor and Ace were captured in [[Colditz Castle]] in [[October]] [[1944]]. When they tried to escape, Ace was killed, and left behind her walkman. This provided the [[Nazi]]s with laser technology, which they exploited to win the [[Second World War]]. Immediately afterwards, the Doctor returned to [[Germany]] in [[1955]], where he was shot by Nazi soldiers. He later regenerated into [[Johann Schmidt|an alternative version of his eighth incarnation]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Colditz (audio story)|Colditz]]'', ''[[Klein's Story (audio story)|Klein's Story]]'')
 
In a timeline where [[Elizabeth Klein]] used the Doctor's TARDIS to rewrite history so that the Nazis won the war, and helped the [[Galactic Reich]] conquer potential threats by travelling back in time to give them forewarning, the Doctor, who remembered the correct timeline, was captured and imprisoned on [[the Moon]], but managed to secretly contact the [[Selachian]]s and supplied them with the necessary technology to destroy the [[Moonbase (The Architects of History)|Moonbase]]. When Klein came to visit the Doctor to find out where his TARDIS was, the Selachians attacked the base. The Doctor and Klein escaped in the TARDIS, where the Doctor informed her that the Time Lords had tried her and found her guilty, and she was erased from history, along with the alternate Doctor, restoring things to their correct order. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Architects of History (audio story)|The Architects of History]]'')
 
When the [[Cyberman (Mondas)|Cybermen]] allied with [[Rassilon]] to take over history, the Seventh Doctor was planting [[Nemesis mine]]s across the [[Cyber-Fleet]] when he discovered that [[Ace]] had been [[cyber-converted]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Prologue: The Seventh Doctor (comic story)|Prologue: the Seventh Doctor]]'')
 
== Psychological profile ==
=== Personality ===
[[File:Pensive_Seven.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor considers the consequences of a decision he has to make. ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'')]]
The Seventh Doctor was originally light-hearted and prone to clownish behaviour, ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'', ''[[Paradise Towers (TV story)|Paradise Towers]]'', ''[[The Greatest Show in the Galaxy (TV story)|The Greatest Show in the Galaxy]]'') which masked his true intellect and courage. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Infinite Requiem (novel)|Infinite Requiem]]'') However, as he matured, he became a grumpy and melancholy manipulator who saw the battle between good and evil as a game of chess or a stage play, and everyone around him as pawns in the game of fighting evil that he directed, ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'', ''[[Silver Nemesis (TV story)|Silver Nemesis]]'', ''[[The Curse of Fenric (TV story)|The Curse of Fenric]]''; [[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Revelation]]'', ''[[The Highest Science (novel)|The Highest Science]]'', ''[[Head Games (novel)|Head Games]]'') though he hated himself for it, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Iceberg (novel)|Iceberg]]'', ''[[Blood Heat (novel)|Blood Heat]]'') instead desiring a life of playing the spoons and acting as a children's entertainer with his magic tricks. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Also People (novel)|The Also People]]'', ''[[Return of the Living Dad (novel)|Return of the Living Dad]]'', ''[[Heritage (novel)|Heritage]]'') Despite his darker demeanour, the Seventh Doctor was "not without [his] share of mirth and joviality", and claimed to [[Ace]] that he could be "quite the funny fellow". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Fable Fusion (short story)|Fable Fusion]]'')
 
[[File:Chess.jpg|thumb|The Doctor and Ace playing chess in [[1638]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Silver Nemesis (TV story)|Silver Nemesis]]'')]]
Seeing himself as a "chess master", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Illegal Alien (novel)|Illegal Alien]]'') the Seventh Doctor was a consummate fan of [[chess]], to the point of treating his companions and enemies as pieces on a [[chess board]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Fenric]]'') until he tired of the game in favour of [[hopscotch]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Infinite Requiem (novel)|Infinite Requiem]]'') Despite his tendency toward a dark personality, the Doctor was known for his use of words to resolve problems instead of violence. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dragonfire (TV story)|Dragonfire]]'', ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'', ''[[Silver Nemesis (TV story)|Silver Nemesis]]'', ''[[Battlefield (TV story)|Battlefield]]'', ''[[Ghost Light (TV story)|Ghost Light]]'', ''[[Survival (TV story)|Survival]]'') Although his more whimsical tendencies disappeared over time, the Doctor maintained a fondness for idiosyncratic speeches that occasionally referred to literature, ordinary places and even food and drink amidst the weightier concerns on his mind. ([[TV]]: ''[[Survival (TV story)|Survival]]'') Other times, he would sombrely reflect the ramifications of time, and the consequences of interfering in history. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dragonfire (TV story)|Dragonfire]]'', ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'')
 
Influenced by his predecessor's decision to let his morality and scruples die with him in his final moments, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Brink of Death (audio story)|The Brink of Death]]'') the Seventh Doctor actively sought out villains to vanquish and dictatorships to dethrone, as opposed to his previous incarnations, who would stumble upon trouble by happenstance, ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'', ''[[The Happiness Patrol (TV story)|The Happiness Patrol]]'') getting involved in local affairs without question, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cat's Cradle: Warhead (novel)|Cat's Cradle: Warhead]]'') and was much less forgiving than his preceding incarnation. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Project Lazarus (audio story)|Project Lazarus]]'') The Doctor would claim{{who}} that he served as Time's Champion because of "principles, truth, love and harmony, peace and goodwill, [and] the best of intentions." ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Return of the Living Dad (novel)|Return of the Living Dad]]'')
 
[[File:Kill her.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor's darker side manifests itself.  ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Fenric (TV story)|The Curse of Fenric]]'')]]
Despite viewing himself as "a nice little man in a silly jumper", ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Harvest of the Sycorax (audio story)|Harvest of the Sycorax]]'') he was viewed as being the most dangerous of the Doctors by [[UNIT]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Persuasion (audio story)|Persuasion]]'') and would often only see the "bigger picture" rather than the world before him, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Head Games (novel)|Head Games]]'') which resulted in him causing much grief, such as devastating Ace by labelling her an "emotional cripple" to weaken Fenric's power by making her abandon her belief in him. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Fenric (TV story)|The Curse of Fenric]]'') However, he was not totally unfeeling, appearing apprehensive about his decision to destroy [[Skaro]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'') was genuinely agonised that he had to convince Ace that he did not care about her, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Fenric (TV story)|The Curse of Fenric]]'') and told [[Ellen Woodworth]] that "the end[s] never [justified] the means, [as] the means used [determined] the kind of end produced." ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Christmas on a Rational Planet (novel)|Christmas on a Rational Planet]]'')
 
Nearing the end of his life, the Doctor decided to [[retire]] from his niche of manipulation. Feeling guilty and tired from his plotting, he acknowledged he had lived past his prime and would soon regenerate.{{Fact}} Fearing that his next incarnation would not want to continue plans that he had set in motion, the Doctor put all his affairs in order to leave nothing unsung when his time drew to a close. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Persuasion (audio story)|Persuasion]]'') However, after being saved from one of the [[Eight Legs]] by the [[Eighth Doctor]], he became determined to enjoy every minute of his current incarnation. After the Eighth Doctor warned him of a trap by {{Roberts}}, the Seventh Doctor decided not to think about it, and let fate decide when and how his life would end, instead of despairing over being alone. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Eight Doctors (novel)|The Eight Doctors]]'')
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's likes and dislikes-->
He "[couldn't] stand" burned toast, loathed bus stations, calling them "terrible places full of lost luggage and lost souls", and hated unrequited love, tyranny, cruelty, ([[TV]]: ''[[Ghost Light (TV story)|Ghost Light]]'') the taste of [[pear]]s, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Human Nature (novel)|Human Nature]]'') swimming, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Also People (novel)|The Also People]]'') and goodbyes. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Room With No Doors (novel)|The Room With No Doors]]'') He also had little respect for those who chose not to fight injustice when they had the power to. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cat's Cradle: Warhead (novel)|Cat's Cradle: Warhead]]'') He did, however, have a soft spot for [[jazz]] music, ([[TV]]: ''[[Silver Nemesis (TV story)|Silver Nemesis]]'') [[the Beatles]], [[cat]]s, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Return of the Living Dad (novel)|Return of the Living Dad]]'') [[science fiction]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Bad Therapy (novel)|Bad Therapy]]'') [[baseball]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Illegal Alien (novel)|Illegal Alien]]'') composer [[J. S. Bach]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Algebra of Ice (novel)|The Algebra of Ice]]'') and ''[[The Wizard of Oz]]''. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Settling]]'') He also collected [[pin]]s, simply out of the enjoyment of doing so. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lucifer Rising (novel)|Lucifer Rising]]'')
 
Though the Doctor initially encouraged Ace not to call him "the Professor", ([[TV]]: ''[[Dragonfire (TV story)|Dragonfire]]'') he later confessed that he liked her calling him by the nickname. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Thin Ice (audio story)|Thin Ice]]'') He also told [[Benny Summerfield]] that he loved "chaos, big explosions, and rebellions", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Love and War (novel)|Love and War]]'') described E flat minor as his favourite musical key, gave [[blue]] as his favourite colour, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lucifer Rising (novel)|Lucifer Rising]]'') and claimed having his hair cut relaxed him more than anything. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Left-Handed Hummingbird (novel)|The Left-Handed Hummingbird]]'') He also enjoyed playing nine dimensional scrabble, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[St Anthony's Fire (novel)|St Anthony's Fire]]'') drinking [[lemonade]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Just War (novel)|Just War]]'') and "doing interviews". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Happy Endings (novel)|Happy Endings]]'') When thinking about rewards he could seek for his actions, the Doctor thought about "the smile of a baby child, the first sunset on a soft and new-born world, [and] the taste of the purest spring water, untouched by any pollution of Man's making." ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dimension Riders (novel)|The Dimension Riders]]'')
 
According to Ace, while the Doctor "wasn't scared of monsters or pain or dying, he was scared of being alone," ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Left-Handed Hummingbird (novel)|The Left-Handed Hummingbird]]'') though he would decide later in life to travel alone after a devastating incident made him realise that he couldn't trust himself with anyone's life. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Resurrection of Mars (audio story)|The Resurrection of Mars]]'') He also admitted to the [[Mi'en Kalarash]] that he was afraid of the [[Old Time]], the [[Times of Night]] and Chaos. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[House of Blue Fire (audio story)|House of Blue Fire]]'')
 
While his [[John Smith (Seventh Doctor)|human counterpart]] fell in love with [[Joan Redfern (novel character)|Joan Redfern]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Human Nature (novel)|Human Nature]]'') the Doctor himself was decidedly celibate, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Bang-Bang-a-Boom! (audio story)|Bang-Bang-a-Boom!]]'') failing to understand human attraction and affection, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cat's Cradle: Warhead (novel)|Cat's Cradle: Warhead]]'') except when it came to [[Ace]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Exodus (novel)|Timewyrm: Exodus]]'') He could also be critical of human nature, stating that humans had "the most amazing capacity for self-deception, matched only by [their] ingenuity when trying to destroy [themselves]", ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'') that "among all the varied wonders of the universe, [there was] nothing so firmly clamped shut as the military mind", ([[TV]]: ''[[Battlefield (TV story)|Battlefield]]'') and that their expectation that "everything [had] to be within [their] comprehension" was their "most irksome trait." ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dimension Riders (novel)|The Dimension Riders]]'') However, he admitted to [[Mikey (Bad Therapy)|Mikey]] that, despite their illogical behaviour, he found human beings irresistible. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Bad Therapy (novel)|Bad Therapy]]'')
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on the Seventh Doctor's attitude towards violence and death-->
In direct contrast to his previous incarnation, the Seventh Doctor was opposed to violence of any sort, although he proved capable of rendering an opponent unconscious with a touch ([[TV]]: ''[[Battlefield (TV story)|Battlefield]]'', ''[[Survival (TV story)|Survival]]'') by using the [[Venusian nerve pinch]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Exodus]]'') While he was completely against the use of firearms, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Happiness Patrol (TV story)|The Happiness Patrol]]'') the Doctor was willing to use a [[Tissue Compression Eliminator]] to defend himself against [[Death's Head]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Crossroads of Time (comic story)|The Crossroads of Time]]'')
 
Believing "killing [to be] wrong except when it's right", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Original Sin (novel)|Original Sin]]'') the Doctor was not averse to manipulating events that resulted in the lose of life, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Love and War (novel)|Love and War]]'') taking a life by himself,{{source}} or convincing someone to commit [[suicide]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Zamper (novel)|Zamper]]'', ''[[Just War (novel)|Just War]]'', ''[[Loving the Alien (novel)|Loving the Alien]]'', ''[[Utopia (short story)|Utopia]]'') though he refused to shoot {{Frontier}} when it served no purpose. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[First Frontier (novel)|First Frontier]]'') He also played a part in the destruction of many planets, such as [[Skaro]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'') the [[Seven Planets]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Pit (novel)|The Pit]]'') and the [[Silurian Earth]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Blood Heat]]'')
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's miscellaneous traits-->
The Seventh Doctor believed [[evil]] to be a genuine force, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Strange England (novel)|Strange England]]'') considered [[pacifism]] to be a "noble ideal", ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Fiesta of the Damned (audio story)|Fiesta of the Damned]]'') and also maintained a strict [[vegetarian]] diet. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Human Nature (novel)|Human Nature]]'', ''[[Happy Endings (novel)|Happy Endings]]'', ''[[Return of the Living Dad (novel)|Return of the Living Dad]]'', ''[[The Room With No Doors (novel)|The Room With No Doors]]'', ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'') He took five to six sugars in his [[tea]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[House of Blue Fire (audio story)|House of Blue Fire]]'') with his favourite teas being [[Arcturan]], [[Earl Grey]] and [[Lapsang souchong]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lucifer Rising (novel)|Lucifer Rising]]'') his favourite [[ice cream]] being boysenberry ripple, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Left-Handed Hummingbird (novel)|The Left-Handed Hummingbird]]'') and his favourite biscuits being [[chocolate]] [[HobNob]]s. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cold Fusion (novel)|Cold Fusion]]'') While he didn't like [[peppermint tea]], he drank some when it was a gift from a friend. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Notre Dame du Temps (short story)|Notre Dame du Temps]]'')
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's feelings and opinions on his companions and other friends and allies-->
Despite his manipulative actions, such as using psychic powers to make Mel leave with [[Sabalom Glitz]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Head Games (novel)|Head Games]]'') the Seventh Doctor did care for his companions, ([[TV]]: ''[[Battlefield (TV story)|Battlefield]]''; [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Fearmonger (audio story)|The Fearmonger]]'') focusing on their wounds before his own, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Set Piece (novel)|Set Piece]]'') and even sought their approval on occasion. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Head Games (novel)|Head Games]]'') He believed he would act as a surrogate granddad to [[Bernice Summerfield]]'s children, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Sleepy (novel)|Sleepy]]'') and later gave her away at her wedding to [[Jason Kane]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Happy Endings (novel)|Happy Endings]]'')
 
Although he originally invited her to travel with him due to [[Fenric]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Head Games (novel)|Head Games]]'') the Doctor developed a paternal relationship with Ace, ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'', ''[[Silver Nemesis (TV story)|Silver Nemesis]]'', ''[[The Greatest Show in the Galaxy (TV story)|The Greatest Show in the Galaxy]]'', ''[[Ghost Light (TV story)|Ghost Light]]'', ''[[The Curse of Fenric (TV story)|The Curse of Fenric]]'', ''[[Survival (TV story)|Survival]]'') eventually coming to trust Ace with his life. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The High Price of Parking (audio story)|The High Price of Parking]]'') Ace, considering the Doctor to be her "[[guru]]", ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Nightshade (audio story)|Nightshade]]'') believed that he had the "deepest, saddest eyes", ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Prisoner's Dilemma (audio story)|The Prisoner's Dilemma]]'') and even told him that she loved him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Signs and Wonders (audio story)|Signs and Wonders]]'') However, after she found herself unable to deal with his growing emotional coldness, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Nightshade (novel)|Nightshade]]'') Ace walked out on the Doctor after he had arranged for the death of [[Jan Rydd]], whom she had fallen in love with. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Love and War (novel)|Love and War]]'') Even after she rejoined his company, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Deceit (novel)|Deceit]]'') it was only so she could use him for her own goals, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lucifer Rising (novel)|Lucifer Rising]]'') believing it to be poetic justice for his own manipulations. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Conundrum (novel)|Conundrum]]'') Their relationship would remain sour, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Blood Heat (novel)|Blood Heat]]'') until they worked together to defeat {{Champion}}, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[No Future (novel)|No Future]]'') after which they realised how much they needed each other's friendship. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Tragedy Day (novel)|Tragedy Day]]'') Ace eventually decided that, whilst the Doctor "may be a bastard", he was "still [her] bastard", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Head Games (novel)|Head Games]]'') and that she could trust him "to sort out anything". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Death of Art (novel)|The Death of Art]]'')
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's opinion of the Daleks and other enemies-->
<!--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-->
While he was of the opinion that his [[Third Doctor|third]] and [[Fourth Doctor|fourth incarnations]] were not unattractive, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Algebra of Ice (novel)|The Algebra of Ice]]'') he regretfully felt that his fourth incarnation had "condemned untold billions to death by not destroying the Daleks at the moment of [[Creation of the Daleks|their birth]]", and resented that his [[Fifth Doctor|fifth incarnation]] "could have saved billions more by shooting down [[Davros]] like a mad dog when [he] had the chance". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lucifer Rising (novel)|Lucifer Rising]]'')
 
The Seventh Doctor was generally disliked by his other incarnations. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Shadow of the Scourge (audio story)|The Shadow of the Scourge]]'') The [[Fifth Doctor]] was repulsed by his manipulative nature, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cold Fusion (novel)|Cold Fusion]]'') and the [[Sixth Doctor]] told [[Evelyn Smythe]] that his successor was "always blowing up planets", something he was "not looking forward to". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The 100 Days of the Doctor (audio story)|The 100 Days of the Doctor]]'') The [[Eleventh Doctor]] described his seventh incarnation as "probably one of [his] more circumspect periods." ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Shockwave (audio story)|Shockwave]]'')
 
The Eighth Doctor came to view his immediate predecessor's manipulative nature with disdain, telling [[Lucie Miller]] that he was always "the man with the master plan," arranging the destruction of his enemies and the toppling of dictatorships in order to serve the greater good, to the point where he began to countenance sacrificing the lives of the few to save the many. In this regard, he negatively compared him to [[the Monk]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Resurrection of Mars (audio story)|The Resurrection of Mars]]'')
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on how others described this particular incarnation of the Doctor-->
[[Ace]] had twice described the Doctor as an "aging hippy", once during their early travels ([[TV]]: ''[[The Greatest Show in the Galaxy (TV story)|The Greatest Show in the Galaxy]]'') and again during their battle with the Monk, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[No Future (novel)|No Future]]'') with the Doctor later agreeing with the sentiment during their last adventure together. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Set Piece (novel)|Set Piece]]'') [[Guy de Carnac]], however, compared the Doctor to an [[owl]], observing that "he [was] comfortable in the darkness", and also though the Doctor "[was] equally as adept at hunting down prey in cold blood". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Sanctuary (novel)|Sanctuary]]'') [[Fakrid]] believed the Doctor had "the mind of a genius", but he also "prattle[d] like any other parasite". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Highest Science (novel)|The Highest Science]]'') Dr [[Smith (Zamper)|Smith]], who initially saw the Doctor as a "great scientist", quickly changed her opinion of him to that of "an entertainer who might be hired for a children's party" after the Doctor started enthusiastically rambling.

([[PROSE]]: ''[[Head Games (novel)|Head Games]]'') When the [[Eighth Doctor]] had a [[tarot]] card reading, the Seventh Doctor was identified as "the Hanged Man". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The City of the Dead (novel)|The City of the Dead]]'')

([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Prisoners of Fate (audio story)|Prisoners of Fate]]'')
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's attitude towards regeneration-->
The Doctor associated [[regeneration]] with death, calling it a "miniature death". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Room With No Doors (novel)|The Room With No Doors]]'') Though he was afraid of it, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Parasite (novel)|Parasite]]'') the Doctor wished to die alone, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Transit (novel)|Transit]]'') on his own terms, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Room With No Doors (novel)|The Room With No Doors]]'') and also believed it would be best if all traces of him were erased. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Transit (novel)|Transit]]'') While the Doctor originally thought he would "beat chance and choose the moment to die", he later confessed to Benny that he knew he would die "[without] control, surrounded by strangers, [and] helpless." ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Return of the Living Dad (novel)|Return of the Living Dad]]'') He later told [[Chris Cwej]] that he viewed regenerating as both a good and bad feeling in the same way that driving a car very fast was a good and bad feeling; enjoying the exhilaration of the process but knowing that you were going to "die" at the end. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Room With No Doors (novel)|The Room With No Doors]]'')
 
After getting shot in a gang shootout in [[San Francisco]], the Doctor spent his last lucid moments desperately trying to warn Dr [[Grace Holloway]] not to operate on him, proclaiming his need to stop {{Roberts}} and, after succumbing to sedation, screaming in agony when the operation dealt fatal damage to him. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'') Holloway noted that the Doctor seemed "very clear, very determined and very powerful" while also looking "very serious but also very frightened of something", and felt that he was "rarely afraid of anything".

([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Zagreus (audio story)|Zagreus]]'')
 
=== Habits and quirks ===
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's accent-->
Speaking with a Scottish accent, ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani]]'') that was noted by [[Bernice Summerfield]] to be of the [[Highlands]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Big Bang Generation (novel)|Big Bang Generation]]'') the Seventh Doctor occasionally rolled his 'R's and emphasised his 'P's and 'L's. ([[TV]]: ''[[Paradise Towers (TV story)|Paradise Towers]]'', ''[[Delta and the Bannermen (TV story)|Delta and the Bannermen]]'', ''[[The Greatest Show in the Galaxy]]'') He could, when necessary, adopted other accents, though. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Highest Science (novel)|The Highest Science]]'', ''[[No Future (novel)|No Future]]'', ''[[Bad Therapy (novel)|Bad Therapy]]'', ''[[The Room With No Doors (novel)|The Room With No Doors]]'') When talking about [[Dalek]]s, the Doctor's voice would develop a harder edge to it. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Illegal Alien (novel)|Illegal Alien]]'')
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's catchphrases and recurring wording-->
The Doctor occasionally displayed a tendency to mangle and combine Earth idioms, creating {{w|Dundrearyism}}s. ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'', ''[[Delta and the Bannermen (TV story)|Delta and the Bannermen]]'') After Mel described the habit as "really annoying", the Doctor promised that he would try to stop doing it, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Bang-Bang-a-Boom! (audio story)|Bang-Bang-a-Boom!]]'') though would later slip up on his promise long after she had left the TARDIS. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[White Darkness (novel)|White Darkness]]'', ''[[No Future (novel)|No Future]]'', ''[[Sanctuary (novel)|Sanctuary]]'', ''[[The Also People (novel)|The Also People]]'')
 
The Doctor would routinely answer any query as to his health with a biffed back claim to be "fine",{{source}} and often told others that "monsters" feared him in their "nightmares". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Love and War (novel)|Love and War]]'', ''[[Blood Heat (novel)|Blood Heat]]'', ''[[Continuity Errors]]'', ''[[Return of the Living Dad (novel)|Return of the Living Dad]]''; [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Shadow of the Scourge (audio story)|The Shadow of the Scourge]]'')
 
The Doctor was fond of using the term "grubby" when explaining his mission to keep an artefact away from his adversaries, such as when keeping the [[Hand of Omega]] out of the Daleks' "grubby little protruberances", ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'') when he sent [[The Doctor's TARDIS (Blood Heat)|the TARDIS]] away to keep the [[Robot Ant]]s from getting their "grubby little mandibles" on it, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Set Piece (novel)|Set Piece]]'') and when preventing the fake skull of [[Jesus Christ]] from falling into [[Louis de Citeaux]] and [[Francisco Guzman]]'s "grubby little protruberances".

<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's physical habits and quirks-->

([[TV]]: ''[[Paradise Towers (TV story)|Paradise Towers]]'')
 
As a show of affection, the Doctor would gently press his forehead against a friend's forehead, ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]''; [[PROSE]]: ''[[Sleepy (novel)|Sleepy]]'') or tap their nose. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Greatest Show in the Galaxy (TV story)|The Greatest Show in the Galaxy]]'', ''[[The Curse of Fenric (TV story)|The Curse of Fenric]]''; [[PROSE]]: ''[[Bad Therapy (novel)|Bad Therapy]]'')
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's miscellaneous habits and quirks-->
 
=== Skills ===
The Seventh Doctor was a grand manipulator, often utilising his choice of words to persuade others into a decision of his choosing, ([[TV]]: ''[[Paradise Towers (TV story)|Paradise Towers]]'', ''[[The Happiness Patrol (TV story)|The Happiness Patrol]]'') or devising an unscrupulous scheme to defeat his adversaries. ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'', ''[[The Curse of Fenric (TV story)|The Curse of Fenric]]'') He had a tendency to play the long game in his schemes, preferring to keep his plans subtle and "behind the scenes". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cat's Cradle: Warhead (novel)|Cat's Cradle: Warhead]]'', ''[[The Highest Science (novel)|The Highest Science]]'') When his plans went awry, or an unexpected element developed, the Doctor was efficient at improvising around it. ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'') However, as he got older, his power of persuasion weakened, with the Doctor unable to convince [[Grace Holloway]] not to operate on him. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'')
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's skills in combat and similar physical prowess-->
Despite his stature, the Doctor was capable of both directly and indirectly taking control of situations involving strangers, using his greater intelligence to assess and direct events. ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'', ''[[The Happiness Patrol (TV story)|The Happiness Patrol]]'') While he loathed violence, the Doctor also showed a skill at unarmed combat, being able to briefly overpower a [[judo]] trained Mel, ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'') a [[Cheetah virus]] infected Master, ([[TV]]: ''[[Survival (TV story)|Survival]]'') strike down two [[Hitler Youth]]s with a series of slaps, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Exodus]]'') and disarmed [[Aoi]] using martial arts. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Room With No Doors (novel)|The Room With No Doors]]'')
 
Something of a showman, the Doctor was an adept physical performer, and deployed a repertoire of magic tricks, illusions and escape artistry as part of his plans. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Greatest Show in the Galaxy (TV story)|The Greatest Show in the Galaxy]]'') He could juggle five balls with his feet whilst stand on his head and gargling "[[The Star-Spangled Banner]]" ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lucifer Rising (novel)|Lucifer Rising]]'') and whistled "anything you can do, I can do better" while a small bomb was in his mouth, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Also People (novel)|The Also People]]'') but he could not dance. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Bad Therapy (novel)|Bad Therapy]]'') He could also perfectly mimic the local fauna of his surroundings, ([[TV]]: ''[[Silver Nemesis (TV story)|Silver Nemesis]]'') such as a [[lion]]'s roar. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Iceberg (novel)|Iceberg]]'') He was also capable of picking a lock with a hairpin. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Death of Art (novel)|The Death of Art]]'')

The Doctor could calm a person, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Blood Heat (novel)|Blood Heat]]'', ''[[Legacy (novel)|Legacy]]'', ''[[Head Games (novel)|Head Games]]'') erase their memories, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[No Future (novel)|No Future]]'') or induce someone to sleep by touching their forehead, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[GodEngine (novel)|GodEngine]]'') and also read a person's dreams with a touch to the head. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Sleepy (novel)|Sleepy]]'') However, he could also influence people's decisions without the need for physical contact, such as when making Mel leave with [[Sabalom Glitz]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Head Games (novel)|Head Games]]'') He was also able to set up a psychological block in [[Sally Morgan]]'s limbic system by touching her forehead. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[House of Blue Fire (audio story)|House of Blue Fire]]'')

([[PROSE]]: ''[[Death and Diplomacy (novel)|Death and Diplomacy]]'')
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's enchanted senses, such as smell and taste-->
The Doctor's sense of smell was sensitive enough for him to differentiate between ketones, ammonia, amino acids, aldehydes, butyric acid and geosmin in [[cheese]], though he could choose to switch off the part of his brain that identified the chemicals if he so chose to enjoy the taste of the cheese. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Culture War (short story)|Culture War]]'') He could also identify blood samples by taste. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Bad Therapy (novel)|Bad Therapy]]'')
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's musical and instrument based skillset-->

([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Master (audio story)|Master]]'') Representing [[Earth]] in lieu of [[Nicky Newman]], he won the 309th Intergalactic Song Contest by playing the spoons, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Bang-Bang-a-Boom! (audio story)|Bang-Bang-a-Boom!]]'') and also broke the galactic record for continuous  spoon-playing, with sixty-seven hours to his name.

== Appearance ==
{{section stub|Info about the Doctor's physical appearance and facial features needs to be added}}
The Seventh Doctor was a short man, who initially appeared to be in his mid-forties, ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'') with his [[John Smith (Seventh Doctor)|human counterpart]] being able to pull off being forty-eight-years-old. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Human Nature (novel)|Human Nature]]'') By the end of his life, however, the Doctor had aged significantly.

([[PROSE]]: ''[[Return of the Living Dad (novel)|Return of the Living Dad]]'')
 
With an animated face, the Doctor had expressive bulgy [[eyebrow]]s, ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'') and, according to [[Ace]], three distinctive smiles: his "cartoon grin", his "secret freak-the-enemy-smile" and his "halfway smile", the last of which unnerved Ace. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Love and War (novel)|Love and War]]'')
 
Though his eyes were naturally [[blue]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Set Piece (novel)|Set Piece]]'') they would often change colour, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Revelation (novel)|Timewyrm: Revelation]]'') appearing as [[grey]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Exodus (novel)|Timewyrm: Exodus]]'') [[green]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Revelation (novel)|Timewyrm: Revelation]]'') [[brown]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Transit (novel)|Transit]]'') [[black]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Legacy (novel)|Legacy]]'') and a mix of blue and grey.

The [[First Doctor]] described his seventh incarnation as the "short Scottish fellow" who would "turn things to his own ends". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Five Card Draw]]'')
 
=== Hair and grooming ===
While he had a full set of brown hair after his regeneration, ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'') the Doctor allowed his greying hair to grow out into tufts on the sides of his head, while it thinned a bit at the top of his scalp, by the end of his life. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'')

[[File:Seven like a boss.jpg|thumb|The Doctor's first outfit. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Greatest Show in the Galaxy (TV story)|The Greatest Show in the Galaxy]]'')]]
<!--Examples following this point focus on the Seventh Doctor's first outfit-->
After many failed attempts to find a new look, the Seventh Doctor eventually settled on a single breasted off-[[white]] safari-styled [[jacket]] with a [[red]] paisley handkerchief in his left pocket, a red/black tartan [[scarf]] under his lapels, with a [[yellow]] pullover adorned with red [[question mark]]s and turquoise zigzag patterns, with sand-coloured tweed plaid trousers and a pair of red braces either pulled over ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'') or tucked under the pullover.

=== Casting ===
The [[Big Finish]] audio drama ''[[Zagreus]]'', made it even clearer that this Doctor's timeline was alternate.
Actors considered for the role of the seventh incarnation before [[Sylvester McCoy]] was cast included [[Rowan Atkinson]], who later played the [[Ninth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|ninth incarnation]] in the satirical ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death]]''; McCoy's mentor Ken Campbell; [[Chris Jury]]; [[Tony Robinson]]; and [[Alexei Sayle]]. Sayle had previously played the [[DJ (Revelation of the Daleks)|DJ]] in [[TV]]: ''[[Revelation of the Daleks]]''. Furthermore, [[Andrew Sachs]] and [[Dermot Crowley]] auditioned for the role.

=== Cartmel Masterplan ===
[[Season 25]] and [[Season 26|26]] had broad hints that the Doctor was not simply a Time Lord, as previously shown and stated. This overarching plot, conceived by [[Script Editor]] [[Andrew Cartmel]] and referred to by fans as the [[Cartmel Masterplan]], was designed to restore an element of mystery in the Doctor and his true nature as in the stories of the [[First Doctor|first]] and [[Second Doctor|second incarnations]]. Although the cancellation of the series at the end of Season 26 prevented further on-screen exploration of this arc, it was later given full rein in the [[Virgin New Adventures]] novel series.
 
=== Travels with Peri? ===
[[File:7andPeri.jpg|thumb|An illustration of the Seventh Doctor and [[Peri Brown]] which appeared in ''[[A Cold Day in Hell! (graphic novel)|A Cold Day in Hell!]]''.]]
In [[COMIC]]: ''[[A Cold Day in Hell! (comic story)|A Cold Day in Hell]]'' the Seventh Doctor is shown to be travelling with [[Frobisher]], a companion of the [[Sixth Doctor]]. Frobisher refers to [[Peri Brown]] as if she had recently left. The timeline given in the [[Doctor Who Magazine]] article ''[[Stripped for action?]]'' claims that the Seventh Doctor picked up Peri and Frobisher sometime before [[COMIC]]: ''[[A Cold Day in Hell! (comic story)|A Cold Day in Hell]]'', and in an unknown adventure Peri left the Doctor to live with [[Yrcanos]].

* After the original series ended, Sylvester McCoy and [[Sophie Aldred]] played characters called the Professor and Ace, respectively, in a series of audio adventures produced by [[BBV Productions]]. Initially the stories were clearly based upon ''Doctor Who'', but these connections decreased when the character was renamed the Dominie and Aldred's character Alice.
* McCoy also parodied his version of the Doctor in the [[BBV Productions|BBV]] production, ''[[Do You Have a Licence to Save This Planet?]]''.
* In the BBC medical soap opera {{wi|Doctors (2000 TV series)|Doctors}} (2000-ongoing), McCoy guest-starred as Graham Capelli, an actor who had played the titular role in ''The Amazing Lollipop Man'', a cult [[1980s]] children's television series. The character of the Lollipop Man had many similarities to the Doctor.
* An Easter Egg referencing the Seventh Doctor appears in the seventh episode of the first season of the Nickelodeon children's horror series, ''Are You Afraid of the Dark? ''(1991-96, 1999-2000), "The Tale of the Captured Souls" . The Seventh Doctor's hat and coat can be seen hanging from a hatstand at two points in the episode.
 
=== whoisdoctorwho.co.uk ===
The website [[whoisdoctorwho.co.uk]] had a list of sightings of [[the Doctor]] from which people had ostensibly been submitting to [[Clive Finch]], a conspiracy theorist character from [[TV]]: ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]''.
 
A submission from "j q public" had sighted someone who looked like a version of the Doctor in Clive's photographs — the [[Ninth Doctor]] — arguing with "a little man with an umbrella" on a university campus. <ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/whoisdoctorwho/sightings.shtml |title=Contact Us |date of source= |website name=[[whoisdoctorwho.co.uk]] |accessdate=23 July 2013}}</ref>
=== Other matters ===
* The Seventh Doctor was dubbed in the German version of [[Doctor Who (TV story)|the TV movie]] by [[Harald Pages]].
* This Doctor appeared in invalid stories ''[[Search Out Space]]'', ''[[Dimensions in Time]]'' and ''[[Death Comes to Time]]'', the latter albeit alternate.

You may be looking for the DWU incarnation that didn't die to stop Tannis.

A version of the Seventh Doctor travelled with Ace and Antimony. He saw the Canisians destroyed in a war started by Tannis, but he saved some of the species in his TARDIS.

He investigated the deaths of Time Lords Valentine and Antenor. During these events he met the Minister of Chance. The Doctor later led a further investigation into the Blue's Bar massacre with the assistance of Speedwell, so together they discovered Nessican was responsible for the deaths. Due to the events the Doctor poisoned Nussican with his blood after consuming garlic.

Later on, he tried to defeat Tannis' plot of invasion. Upon doing so he rescued Bedlar's child, eventually meeting face to face with Tannis when returning the child.

Tannis, now frustrated, shot the Doctor's beloved companion Antinomy to death. The Doctor was now in despair, so he travelled back to companion Ace where they noticed the death of Nuscan.

The Doctor caught up with the Minister of Chance and and convinced him to stop his madness. The Minister threatened to kill the Doctor but eventually backed down.

He returned to Earth one last time to kill Tannis, however time assisted by Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. He returned to Tannis and saved Ace but at a cost. He had to sacrifice himself to kill Tannis. After doing so, the only thing that remained was his burnt question mark umbrella.

The Kingmaker suggested that everyone dies and that the Doctor may only be dead in this world; suggesting he is alternate. (NOTVALID: Death Comes to Time)

Behind the scenes

The Big Finish audio drama Zagreus, made it even clearer that this Doctor's timeline was alternate.
