The First Doctor met his end after his battle with the [[Mondasian Cybermen]] in [[1986]] [[Antarctica]] caused him to lose the strength needed to maintain his body, due to the planet [[Mondas]] draining a large portion of his [[life force]]. Initially, he refused to go through with the change until an encounter with [[Twelfth Doctor|a future incarnation]] also refusing to regenerate caused the Doctor to witness the type of person he would soon become. As a result, his fear of the change was turned to reassurance for his future, causing him to accept his regeneration into his [[Second Doctor|next body]].

=== Life on Gallifrey ===
{{main|The Doctor's early life}}
[[File:Young First Doctor.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor held high power on [[Gallifrey]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Flashback (comic story)|Flashback]]'')]]
Due to the various alterations the Doctor made to their timeline while travelling through time, what really transpired to the Doctor during his time on Gallifrey was hard to decipher.
According to reports found by [[Maris]], the Doctor was involved in a riot, and become wanted by the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]] for "interfering in non-time-travel-capable species' development". He left Gallifrey two days afterwards. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Celestial Intervention - A Gallifreyan Noir (short story)|Celestial Intervention - A Gallifreyan Noir]]'')
=== Leaving Gallifrey ===
{{main|The Doctor and Susan's escape from Gallifrey}}
[[File:First Doctor leaves Gallifrey.jpg|thumb|The Doctor and Susan prepare to flee from their home. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Time & Time Again (comic story)|Time & Time Again]]'')]]

Though he intended for him and Susan to someday return, ([[TV]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|An Unearthly Child]]'') the Doctor knew that they could not. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Massacre (TV story)|The Massacre]]'') Immediately after their escape from Gallifrey, the Doctor and Susan encountered [[Human]]s for the first time, on either [[Iwa]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Frayed (novel)|Frayed]]'') or the [[Earth]]'s [[The Moon|Moon]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Beginning (audio story)|The Beginning]]'')
=== Wanderers in the fourth dimension ===
Sometime after their first meeting with humans, the Doctor and Susan began to study Earth and humans more closely, with their first visit to Earth being a trip to the [[French Revolution]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Just War (novel)|Just War]]'') in [[1791]]. During this trip, the Doctor and Susan had several conversations with [[Maximilien Robespierre|Robespierre]]'s disguised agents. After some hours in [[Paris]], the Doctor and Susan escaped from a Parisian military post using [[bomb|explosives]] from an artillery shell that had "accidentally" been left in a dark corner of the building. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Christmas on a Rational Planet (novel)|Christmas on a Rational Planet]]'') Sometime after visiting the French Revolution, the Doctor met [[Iris Wildthyme]], another renegade time traveller.

On further adventures, they encountered a [[Vortex rupture]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[GodEngine (novel)|GodEngine]]'') sailed around the Caribbean on board a pirate galleon, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Byzantium! (novel)|Byzantium!]]'') saw the [[Relief of Mafeking]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan (TV story)|The Daleks' Master Plan]]'') witnessed the assassination of [[President of the United States|US President]] [[William McKinley]], and travelled to [[Cassuragi]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Byzantium! (novel)|Byzantium!]]'') The Doctor took a holiday to [[Lake Rhonda]], where he was eaten and regurgitated twice by a [[blarph whale]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Big Hand for the Doctor (short story)|A Big Hand for the Doctor]]'')

([[TV]]: "[[Strangers in Space]]") Visiting India during the [[Indian Mutiny]], the Doctor became [[David Warblington]]'s guardian after having his life saved by David's father. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Duke's Folly (short story)|The Duke's Folly]]'') The Doctor, with his other incarnation, also attended the funeral of [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Gift (ST short story)|The Gift]]'')

One night, the Doctor told Susan a bedtime story about them meeting the Five O'Clock Shadow. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Five O'Clock Shadow (short story)|The Five O'Clock Shadow]]'')
When visiting [[Planet (The Sleeping Blood)|a planet with two suns]], the Doctor cut himself with a strange plant and fell ill as a result of the infection that followed. Susan had to venture outside, in an abandoned research centre on [[Rua]] to find some cure; she managed to do so and was able to cure the Doctor. When he recovered, he noticed Susan crying over a video, and asked her what had happened; she then told him about her encounter with the terrorist known as [[Butcher (The Sleeping Blood)|the Butcher]] and the security team sent to deal with him, about the part she played in his demise and how she then found out what his real motives were. The Doctor comforted her by saying she did her best by saving his life, and nothing else mattered, even more so because they must not interfere in other people's business. When Susan pointed out he didn't used to think this way, the Doctor replied that now they were travelling, and couldn't use their abilities to manipulate others, especially as this could not end up in a good way. Susan, however, could see he wasn't really sure on the matter ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Sleeping Blood (audio story)|The Sleeping Blood]]'')
After being given an [[Ulster coat]] by [[Gilbert and Sullivan]], ([[TV]]: "[[The Brink of Disaster (episode)|The Brink of Disaster]]") the Doctor was taken by [[The Entity (Seven to One)|the Entity]] and tested to open a door, but the Doctor outsmarted it. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Seven to One (audio story)|Seven to One]]'') During a meeting with the [[Xing]] surgeon [[Aldridge]], the Doctor was forced to part with of litres of TL-positive blood to build up plasma for the "Inscrutable Doppelganger fiasco". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Big Hand for the Doctor (short story)|A Big Hand for the Doctor]]'')
[[File:Time Trick.jpg|thumb|right|The First Doctor and Susan are watched by the [[Eleventh Doctor]] and [[Clara Oswald]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Time Trick (comic story)|Time Trick]]'')]]
The Doctor accepted an invitation to be a guest speaker at a Time Conference on [[Refkeet Nine]] and raged against the local authorities when he discovered he had been lured into a trap so that they could use an abused Nuppino horse to attack him. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Time Trick (comic story)|Time Trick]]'')
The Doctor and Susan arrived on an unnamed jungle planet, where they discovered a crashed colony spaceship with a row of graves, one of which was freshly dug. They then met [[Bethan Finch]], a salvage operative waiting for her partner [[Tino Driscoll]]. After some searching, the group found Tino, who had been reduced to a primitive state due to the planet's ecology. The Doctor and Susan quickly made their departure after saying goodbye. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Arboreals (short story)|The Arboreals]]'')
[[File:Dr First Walter in hole.JPG|left|thumb|The Doctor defeats the [[Cybermen]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dr. First (novel)|Dr. First]]'')]]
The Doctor was forced to land the TARDIS on Earth in the 1960s to make some repairs. After fixing the TARDIS, he went to look for Susan, who had gone exploring, and encountered the [[Cybermen]]. After finding Susan, the Doctor defeated the Cybermen by blasting them with sound waves of music. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dr. First (novel)|Dr. First]]'')
The Doctor and Susan visited a restaurant owned by a man named Rowson, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Indian Summer (short story)|Indian Summer]]'') fought "homicidal earthworms" that excreted [[laughing gas]] with Aldridge, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Big Hand for the Doctor (short story)|A Big Hand for the Doctor]]'') and visited [[Jabalhabad]], [[India]], in [[1843]], whilst they were touring India by [[elephant]].

([[PROSE]]: ''[[All-Consuming Fire (novel)|All-Consuming Fire]]'') The Doctor and Susan visited the planet [[Olleril]], where the Doctor helped cure the radiation poisoning that had been blighting the residents and their crops. Before leaving, the Doctor took a red glass, believing it to have caused all the trouble. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Tragedy Day (novel)|Tragedy Day]]'')
Aided by his other incarnations and their companions, the First Doctor and Susan helped [[Dan Dare]] to fight off [[the Mekon]] and his army of [[Treen]]s, [[Dalek]]s, [[Ice Warrior]]s, [[Cybermen]], [[Sontaran]]s and [[Draconian]]s in [[1991]]. After the Mekon was subdued by a barrage of [[Red Noses]], the First Doctor helped collect donations from the defeated army. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Comic Relief Comic (comic story)|Comic Relief Comic]]'')
Visiting Earth again in [[1979]], the dematerialisation circuit was fried while the TARDIS was orbiting Earth. The TARDIS was taken on board a [[Slarvian]] transport, and the Doctor and Susan learned that the snail-like species planned to conquer Earth by hatching their eggs all over the planet. Their plan failed because the Slarvian ship crashed into the [[English Channel]], making the threat localised to [[England]]. With the help of the humans [[Linda Grainger]] and her grandfather, [[Edward Grainger]], the Doctor and Susan stopped the Slarvian eggs from hatching. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Childhood Living (short story)|Childhood Living]]'')
After discovering the tyranny of a dictator, the Doctor travelled back in time to kill the dictator as a baby. However, whilst waiting in the queue to see the baby at their christening, he accidentally dropped the silver knife he planned to use to kill them. Grumbling at his clumsiness, the Doctor left with Susan. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Categorical Imperative (short story)|Categorical Imperative]]'')
Arriving at central Europe in the [[16th century]], Susan noticed what looked like a [[meteorite]] and tossed it out, thinking it unimportant, but soon came to realise that it was a part of a [[Liciax]] ship. When she tried to find what she had carelessly discarded, it was gone. With the help of a man named Lovey, she and the Doctor traced it to [[Prague]], where they found it had been shaped into a golem that had developed sentience and was also on a murderous rampage. The Doctor and Susan trapped it in the attic of a [[Judaism|Jewish]] synagogue, placing it under a security system, to which only they knew the access codes. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Life from Lifelessness (short story)|Life from Lifelessness]]'')
After landing in [[Germany]] in the 16th century, the Doctor and Susan teamed up with magistrate [[Rudolf von Slesinger]] and an inquisitor, [[Johann Eck]], to protect [[Martin Luther]] from two assassins ahead of his trial. Instantly suspicious of Slesinger's odd behaviour, the Doctor sent Susan undercover as a servant girl and discovered that Slesinger had deployed the assassins in a plot to kill Luther in secret. Before he could kill anyone, Slesinger was apprehended by Eck. Afterwards, the Doctor and Susan decided to remain in Germany for the trial of Martin Luther. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Price of Conviction (short story)|The Price of Conviction]]'')
The Doctor encountered [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]] at [[Christmas]] when he and his wife, [[Doris Lethbridge-Stewart|Doris]], saved Susan from drowning. The Doctor told Doris that he knew how his future friend would die and that he and his succeeding incarnations had already attended his funeral. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Gift (ST short story)|The Gift]]'')
The Doctor began pursuing the [[Soul Pirate]]s after they stole his hand in a sword fight. Whilst following them, he and Susan arrived in [[1900]] [[London]], where Susan and a group of children were kidnapped by the Soul Pirates to harvest their body parts for profit. However, the Doctor foiled their plan, rescued Susan and the children, and received a brand new hand, indistinguishable from the original, from [[Aldridge]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Big Hand for the Doctor (short story)|A Big Hand for the Doctor]]'')
Vacationing at a [[bed and breakfast]] called "[[Bide-a-Wee]]" in the [[British]] coastal town of [[Keelmouth]] in [[1933]], the Doctor discovered that another guest named [[Prentice (Bide-a-Wee)|Prentice]] was a time traveller. He had used his technology to displace Keelmouth in time; the village was in 1933, but the surrounding world was in [[1999]]. The Doctor and Susan had to convince Prentice to reverse the effect, because his [[retirement]] fantasy wasn't fair to the people he had trapped alongside him. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Bide-a-Wee (short story)|Bide-a-Wee]]'')
Not long afterwards, the Doctor and Susan accidentally landed at the [[BBC]]'s [[Paris]] studios in [[1955]], because transmissions there had disabled their [[dematerialisation circuit]]. They met a radio comedian named [[Max Wheeler]], whose recordings were plagued by a distinctive background "hum" caused by ghostly aliens recruited into the French resistance in [[World War II]] known as the [[Shakers]], unaware that the war had ended and unable to clearly understand who their enemies were. Though he and Susan tried to explain the current reality to them, the Shakers continued to kill indiscriminately, with the only course of action left being for the Doctor to alter the harmonics of canned laughter and kill them with it. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Losing the Audience (short story)|Losing the Audience]]'')
The Doctor and Susan were present in [[London]] during the [[coronation]] of [[Elizabeth II]] on [[2 June]] [[1953]], where they were pursued by a creature with lasers spewing out of its one eye. They were saved when the creature was subdued by [[Eva De Ville]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Where's the Doctor? (comic story)|Where's the Doctor?]]'')
=== Searching for a new home ===
The Doctor and Susan travelled to [[Bridgetown]] on the planet [[Quinnis]] in the [[fourth universe]]. They nearly lost the TARDIS when it was washed away during a severe flood. They recovered it with the assistance of a huntsman named [[Evalihi Parch IV]], who possessed an [[ornithopter]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Quinnis (audio story)|Quinnis]]'') Whilst on Quinnis, the Doctor was trained to be a [[ninja]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Devil Goblins from Neptune (novel)|The Devil Goblins from Neptune]]'') Around this time, the Doctor realised that he and Susan had been losing their memory since they began travelling in the TARDIS due to the telepathic circuits attacking their minds. This prompted their search for somewhere to take residence and recover from the memory loss. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Echoes of Future Past (short story)|Echoes of Future Past]]'')
[[File:Urrozdinee.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor and Susan in Urrozdinee, [[2134]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Urrozdinee (short story)|Urrozdinee]]'')]]
The Doctor and Susan unwittingly travelled to [[2134]] [[Paris]], where they became embroiled in political intrigue in the run-up to an election in the city of [[Urrozdinee]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Urrozdinee (short story)|Urrozdinee]]'')
When the TARDIS landed in [[Berlin]] in [[November]] [[1932]], the Doctor decided to go and visit a convention of scientists at the [[Kaiser Wilhelm Institute]], wanting especially to meet the director of the Institute, [[Fritz Haber]]. However, he made the mistake of exchanging Ancient Roman gold coins for banknotes at a local jewellery shop. This brought suspicions on him and Susan because Haber was believed to be studying a way to extract gold from seawater. As a consequence, he was apprehended for interrogation by German secret service, together with Haber, and kept in an unused lab in the Institute. He was eventually freed when Susan tricked [[Pollitt]], a British agent, into showing him the secret of their gold. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Alchemists (audio story)|The Alchemists]]'')
The Doctor took a brief trip to [[St Albans]] on [[17 December]] [[1997]] to ensure that the United Kingdom would remain safe during the 1960s, and had a near-miss encounter with the [[Fourth Doctor]], [[Romana II]] and [[K9]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Little Things (short story)|The Little Things]]'')
=== Settling in Totter's Lane ===
According to one account, the TARDIS initially landed on [[Barnes Common]], where Susan took on the surname "English" and the Doctor had [[Barbara Wright]] tutor her in history at twenty pounds a week while he busied himself with research. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks (novelisation)|Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks]]'')
According to another account, while the TARDIS was in flight in [[deep space]] during [[1963]], the [[Father of Time]] materialised inside the [[TARDIS control room]], having resolved to test the Doctor. He forced the TARDIS to land on a [[Skaro|radioactive planet]] that had begun to be torn apart from the inside, with the "Test of Time" being to escape from the apocalypse. The Doctor and Susan took refuge down a mineshaft, and "rode out the storm" safe at the very heart of the planet. Satisfied with their quick thinking, the Father of Time transported them back into the TARDIS, which he deposited at [[76 Totter's Lane]], [[London]] in the 1960s, foretelling that they would find "a new life" there. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Test of Time (comic story)|The Test of Time]]'')
According to a third account, while making a short trip to the planet [[Tacunda]], the Doctor and Susan uncovered a "[[Blessing Star]]", a [[crystal]] that altered the laws of probability around the holder, essentially making their dreams come true. The Doctor tried the device, wishing that he could pilot the TARDIS to [[20th century]] [[Earth]]. He was successful at piloting the ship, though it completely fried the navigational system, stranding the Doctor and Susan in [[I.M. Foreman]]'s junkyard in [[Totter's Lane]], [[London]] in [[1963]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Rag & Bone Man's Story (short story)|The Rag & Bone Man's Story]]'')
Upon their arrival, Susan questioned whether her grandfather had truly intended to land there, or if the TARDIS had made another mistake. The Doctor confirmed it was no mistake, believing that it would be a "fine place to keep the TARDIS hidden from prying eyes". When Susan questioned what made Earth so special, the Doctor told her that he just had a "good feeling". ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Untitled (FCBD2022 comic story)|Untitled]]'')
=== Hiding on Earth ===
The Doctor and Susan took up residence in a [[Totter's Lane]] junkyard in [[Shoreditch]], [[London]] to allow Susan to complete her education, and so the Doctor could affect repairs and build missing components for the TARDIS. According to this account, Susan's admission to [[Coal Hill School]] was in late [[March]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Time and Relative (novel)|Time and Relative]]'') According to another account, Susan and the Doctor arrived in Shoreditch in [[June]] [[1963]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Hunters of Earth (audio story)|Hunters of Earth]]'') While the [[Third Doctor]] claimed that Susan gave herself the surname "Foreman" from [[I.M. Foreman]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Interference - Book Two (novel)|Interference - Book Two]]'') Susan recalled that it was the Doctor who gave her the surname "Foreman". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Legacy of the Daleks (novel)|Legacy of the Daleks]]'') After arriving in 20th century England, the Doctor spent months stealing parts to repair his TARDIS, even though he had access to the appropriate currency, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Hunters of Earth (audio story)|Hunters of Earth]]'') and sold a few "harmless" alien artefacts to [[Fyodor]], a frightening alien disguised as an old man, in order to pay for Susan's [[school lunch]]es. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Shoreditch Intervention (audio story)|The Shoreditch Intervention]]'')
Although the Doctor did not venture out very often, ([[TV]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|An Unearthly Child]]'') he had visited [[Shoreditch Library|a library]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Vampires of Venice (TV story)|The Vampires of Venice]]'') was familiar with [[Harry (Remembrance of the Daleks)|the owner of the local café]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'') and spent many "happy hours" taking the [[Hand of Omega]] for "walks". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Alien Bodies (novel)|Alien Bodies]]'') The Doctor first encountered [[River Song]] when he caught her sneaking around the junkyard where his TARDIS was located, but he was unaware of her identity. River fled when she heard Susan calling for the Doctor. ([[GAME]]: ''[[The Eternity Clock (video game)|The Eternity Clock]]'')
According to one account, the Doctor did not have the Hand of Omega when he left [[Gallifrey]]. While walking one evening to pick up Susan from school, he encountered his [[seventh incarnation]] lurking in a dark street. The Seventh Doctor revealed that he had brought the Hand of Omega, and, claiming that the Hand knew what to do, left without revealing any details of his life to his bewildered younger self. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Echoes of Future Past (short story)|Echoes of Future Past]]'')
On one cold evening, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Ash (short story)|Ash]]'') the Doctor and Susan went to the [[Ritz Theatre]] on [[Totter's Lane]], where the Doctor continually and rudely pointed out inaccuracies in [[The Fall of Rome (film)|a film]] about the fall of [[Rome]]. After an [[usher]]ette named [[Smith (Have You Seen This Man?)|Smith]] told them to leave, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Have You Seen This Man? (short story)|Have You Seen This Man?]]'') the Doctor and Susan got lost in the dense fog, eventually meeting a girl named [[Joan Calder]] and sheltered at her home, where they met [[Joan's mother|her mother]] and [[Calder (Ash)|grandfather]]. During the visit, the house burst into flames and, on the Doctor's instruction, Susan broke a [[mirror]] in the house. The elder Calder crumbled into ash and the fire abated. Although the Doctor was never able to adequately explain the event, it was related to the fact that the house had been levelled during the [[London Blitz]] two decades earlier. The Doctor postulated that Susan's action likely freed Joan and her mother from their "nightmarish existence", but he wasn't sure. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Ash (short story)|Ash]]'')
On [[1 April|1]] and [[2 April]] [[1963]] while Susan was attending Coal Hill School, London was consumed by winter weather in the middle of spring, as a result of an extra-dimensional called [[The Cold (Time and Relative)|the Cold]] awakening. After being coerced by Susan, the Doctor reluctantly decided to interfere in events, and defeated the Cold by depositing it on [[Pluto]] in the [[far future]], taking five trips to get there. He then embarked on his journey back to Susan in 1963. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Time and Relative (novel)|Time and Relative]]'')
The Doctor arrived on [[Wengrol]] in the [[Crab Nebula]], the furthest the TARDIS had ever travelled at that point. He was captured by [[Yend]] scientists looking for a way to stabilise their constant shapeshifting. [[Fomal]], the Chief Yend, asked him to take a case of unmutated Yend embryos to a new system, but when the Doctor took the case into the TARDIS, he discovered that the embryos were all dead. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Sons of the Crab (short story)|The Sons of the Crab]]'')
Landing on [[Vortis]], the Doctor was captured by the [[Menoptera]], who believed that he was a member of the race attacking them. He escaped, only to encounter a group of [[Atlantean]]s whose spacecraft had crashed on Vortis a year earlier. The Atlanteans mistook the Doctor for a human scientist and asked for his help in repairing their ship. The Doctor, claiming that the necessary parts were in his ship, returned to the TARDIS, where he watched as the Atlanteans were caught in a battle between the Menoptera and the [[Zarbi]] and killed. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Lost Ones (short story)|The Lost Ones]]'')
The Doctor landed on Earth in 1966. While leaving the TARDIS unattended, two children, [[Tony Barker|Tony]] and [[Amy Barker]], and their dog, [[Butch (The Monsters from Earth)|Butch]], entered the ship and accidentally locked themselves inside. When the Doctor returned, he dematerialised the TARDIS and arrived on the [[Sense Sphere]], where he was forced to kill a [[Zilgan]] to save his life. The Sensorites captured him and planned to execute him for his crime, but he was rescued by Tony and Amy. The three made their way back to the TARDIS and the Doctor returned the children to their own time. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Monsters from Earth (short story)|The Monsters from Earth]]'')
The Doctor landed in London during the [[Great Fire of London|Great Fire]] of [[1666]], where he reluctantly rescued the Mortimer family: farmer [[George Mortimer|George]], his wife [[Helen Mortimer|Helen]] and their children, [[Ida Mortimer|Ida]] and [[Alan Mortimer|Alan]]. Much to his annoyance, they believed he was a warlock and the TARDIS was powered by magic. The TARDIS arrived on a spacecraft leading an Andromedan armada, where they encountered androids called [[Aala]]s and met [[The One (spaceship)|the One]], the intelligence controlling the ship. When the Doctor refused to help the One invade the Milky Way, this disobedience caused it to malfunction, and it self-destructed when Ida threw a bowl at one of its screens. The Doctor and the Mortimers departed, leaving the armada drifting aimlessly in space. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Invasion from Space (novel)|Doctor Who and the Invasion from Space]]'')
The Doctor eventually arrived back in 1963 at the [[2 April|exact instant]] he had departed. He claimed to have had an eventful trip, but upon inspecting the [[TARDIS log]]s, Susan noted that he'd taken [[5 (number)|five]] trips to reach Pluto, and more than a [[12 (nunber)|dozen]] to get back to Foreman's Yard. On his return, the Doctor told Susan that the TARDIS had been damaged taking the Cold to Pluto, but he insisted that he'd "have it fixed in no time". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Time and Relative (novel)|Time and Relative]]'')
Out for a walk while thinking of where to hide the [[Hand of Omega]], the Doctor's [[seventh incarnation]] appeared in his past self's life on a mission from the [[White Guardian]] to steal the [[TARDIS Instruction Manual]]. Unbeknownst to the First Doctor, the Seventh Doctor saved him from an [[Imperial Dalek]] and made off with the instruction manual in the confusion. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Time & Time Again (comic story)|Time & Time Again]]'') On [[7 August]] [[1963]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Shoreditch Intervention (audio story)|The Shoreditch Intervention]]'') the Doctor hid the [[Hand of Omega]] at an undertaker's. ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'')
The Doctor was placed on [[The Doctor's trial (The Juror's Story)|trial]] for murder after he killed the werewolf [[Roberta Sampson]] with a [[silver bullet]] in self-defence, but was acquitted by the jury, which was made up partly of his [[Second Doctor|second]], [[Third Doctor|third]], [[Fifth Doctor|fifth]] and [[eighth incarnation]]s. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Juror's Story (short story)|The Juror's Story]]'')
After witnessing a man explode into a protoplasmic mass at a beat poetry reading, the Doctor and Susan traced the unusual death to a [[British]] government project, [[Operation Proteus]]. They discovered the project was being run by an alien named [[Raldonn]], who was mutating [[human]]s to turn one into his own species so that he would have a co-pilot to help him fly his ship back home. Unfortunately, his efforts relied on a lethal virus that threatened all [[London]]. After reversing the effects of the virus, the Doctor and Susan returned to the TARDIS in [[Totter's Lane]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Operation Proteus (comic story)|Operation Proteus]]'')
In [[October]] [[1963]], after legally purchasing parts to repair the TARDIS from [[Magpie Electricals]], the Doctor was threatened by a group of teenagers, before they stopped and apologised. When the Doctor arrived at a warehouse to collect the parts, Colonel [[Rook (Hunters of Earth)|Rook]] revealed that he had tricked the Doctor into meeting him, as Rook wanted the Doctor to fight in a war and Susan to help in Britain's [[ESP]] experiments. When Susan and [[Cedric Chivers]] arrived after being chased by gangs chanting "aliens out", the Doctor deduced they were being influenced by a hypersonic weapon transmitted over radio waves that made young people attack anyone who was "alien", or different, including the Doctor and Susan. The Doctor devised a means of using Susan's radio and other pieces in the warehouse to transmit a blocking signal that negated the effect of the weapon. After his life was saved, Rook decided against coercing the Doctor and Susan to fight in the war and told them that their "secret" would be safe. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Hunters of Earth (audio story)|Hunters of Earth]]'')
When Susan was accompanied back to the 76 Totter's Lane by her new history teacher, Dr. [[River Song]], the Doctor dismissed her quite brusquely, inviting her to "mind [her] own business". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[An Unearthly Woman (audio story)|An Unearthly Woman]]'')
When a thick fog engulfed Shoreditch, the Doctor decided to pick Susan up from Coal Hill personally, but, when he arrived, the school came under attack from humanoid figures with blood covered faces. With the aid of [[Shivani Bajwa]], the Doctor was able to figure out that the wolf-like figures were aliens and that the fog was turning humans into [[Space Wolf|Space wolves]]. After Shivani was transformed into a wolf, the Doctor restored her and, using his signet ring, he transmitted a message through the fog to get the wolves to retreat. However, his manipulations to the fog caused Shivani's flower garden to die out, so he promised to deliver [[rose]]s to help the garden regrow. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Horror of Coal Hill (short story)|Doctor Who and the Horror of Coal Hill]]'')
=== Meeting Ian and Barbara ===
[[File:UnearthlyShortFocus.jpg|thumb|The Doctor returns to [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], and meets unexpected "guests". ([[TV]]: "[[An Unearthly Child (episode)|An Unearthly Child]]")]]
After investigating an alien insect that he planned to return home, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Those Left Behind (short story)|Those Left Behind]]'') the Doctor returned to the junkyard to find that two of Susan's teachers, [[Ian Chesterton]] and [[Barbara Wright]], had followed her home. The Doctor tried to encourage them to leave, but they confronted him and forced themselves into the TARDIS. Against Susan's wishes, he launched the TARDIS, kidnapping them so they couldn't tell anyone about them. ([[TV]]: "[[An Unearthly Child (episode)|An Unearthly Child]]") According to another account, the Doctor first met Ian when Susan was injured by a [[car crash]] on Barnes Common, with Ian helping Barbara take Susan back to the TARDIS, and then forcing himself in to return [[Susan Foreman's first TARDIS key|her TARDIS key]]. In a panic, the Doctor launched the TARDIS. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks (novelisation)|Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks]]'')
In the first account, they travelled to [[BC#Prehistory|prehistoric times]]. Kidnapped by a tribesman named [[Kal]], the Doctor was brought to the [[Tribe of Gum]]. Susan, Ian and Barbara followed to save him, but [[Za]] caught them and placed them all in the [[Cave of Skulls]]. ([[TV]]: "[[The Cave of Skulls]]") The group was freed by [[Old Mother]], but Za and [[Hur]] chased them through the [[Forest of Fear]]. When a pursuing Za was wounded by a [[tiger]], the Doctor initially refused to help him. He picked up a rock and was prepared to kill Za, until Ian stopped him, ([[TV]]: "[[The Forest of Fear]]") and a meeting with his [[eighth incarnation]] in a [[time bubble]] convinced him not to continue his murderous plan. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Eight Doctors (novel)|The Eight Doctors]]'') Recaptured and placed back in the cave, the Doctor tricked Kal into revealing he had killed the Old Mother. After Ian and Susan had the idea to set fire to skulls to distract the Tribe and allow them to escape, ([[TV]]: "[[The Firemaker (episode)|The Firemaker]]") Barbara told the Doctor the story of ''[[Godfather Death]]'' by the [[Brothers Grimm]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Knight, The Fool and The Dead (novel)|The Knight, The Fool and The Dead]]'') When the Tribe was distracted, the travellers fled back to the TARDIS, with the Doctor quickly taking off. ([[TV]]: "[[The Firemaker (episode)|The Firemaker]]") In the second account, the TARDIS instead landed on [[Skaro]] after leaving [[1963]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks (novelisation)|Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks]]'')
[[File:The_Daleks.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor is interrogated by the [[Dalek]]s. ([[TV]]: "[[The Survivors (episode)|The Survivors]]")]]
When the TARDIS landed on Skaro ([[TV]]: "[[The Firemaker (episode)|The Firemaker]]") in early [[2064]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Peaceful Thals Ambushed! (short story)|Peaceful Thals Ambushed!]]'') the Doctor claimed that the [[fluid link]] needed more [[mercury (element)|mercury]], ([[TV]]: "[[The Dead Planet]]") despite there being nothing wrong, ([[TV]]: "[[The Survivors (episode)|The Survivors]]") so that he could explore [[Dalek City|a nearby city]] despite his companion' concerns. The Doctor had planned to explore the city a day after their arrival, but a knock from one of the [[Thal]]s on the door frightened the other travellers, and they forced the Doctor to take off. The Doctor, still desiring to see the city, removed the fluid link and caused the TARDIS to stall and claim the fluid link's mercury had run out, and that the only likely place to find more was the city itself. ([[TV]]: "[[The Dead Planet]]") In the city, the Doctor and his friends were captured by the [[Dalek]]s, confiscating the fluid link they brought along. ([[TV]]: "[[The Survivors (episode)|The Survivors]]") When they escaped, ([[TV]]: "[[The Ambush]]") they struck an alliance with the Dalek's enemy, the [[Thal]]s, ([[TV]]: "[[The Expedition]]") and them assisted in [[Thal-Dalek battle|an attack on the Daleks]] city. ([[TV]]: "[[The Ordeal]]") The Daleks' power supply was damaged in the attack. The Daleks died and their plans to flood the [[atmosphere]] with [[radiation]] failed. ([[TV]]: "[[The Rescue (episode)|The Rescue]]") However, the Doctor had seen the evil of the Daleks and made it his mission in life to combat threats similar to them. ([[TV]]: ''[[Into the Dalek (TV story)|Into the Dalek]]'')
[[File:Doctor Ian Fast Return.jpg|thumb|right|The Doctor shows [[Ian Chesterton]] the [[fast return switch]]. ([[TV]]: "[[The Brink of Disaster (episode)|The Brink of Disaster]]")]]
With the fluid link retrieved, the Doctor left Skaro for Earth, using the [[fast return switch]]. The spring in the switch was damaged, causing it to be stuck. The TARDIS was sent to the beginning of a solar system ([[TV]]: "[[The Brink of Disaster (episode)|The Brink of Disaster]]") and everyone was knocked out on the trip. The TARDIS tried warning the crew about the [[atom]]s forming around them when they came to, but the Doctor assumed that this was Ian and Barbara sabotaging the ship. ([[TV]]: "[[The Edge of Destruction (episode)|The Edge of Destruction]]") Once Barbara figured out what was going on, the Doctor fixed the spring, ending the fault, and apologised to his companions. ([[TV]]: "[[The Brink of Disaster (episode)|The Brink of Disaster]]") After this incident, the Doctor's relationship with Ian and Barbara became warmer, and he began to learn about and respect their humanity. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Hunters of the Burning Stone (comic story)|Hunters of the Burning Stone]]'')

Still heavily damaged and malfunctioning, the TARDIS found its way to Earth, but did not make it to 1963. Instead, it landed in the [[Plain of Pamir]] in [[1289]]. There, the Doctor and his companions met [[Marco Polo]]. Polo took the TARDIS and its [[TARDIS key|keys]] on his caravan to the breadth of [[China|Cathay]] to hand to [[Kublai Khan]] as part of a bargain for his return to [[Venice]]. ([[TV]]: "[[The Roof of the World (episode)|The Roof of the World]]") Along the way, the [[Mongol]] warlord, [[Tegana]], also part of Polo's caravan, tried to take the TARDIS for [[Nogai]] as part of his plan to [[Assassination|assassinate]] Kublai. In the chaos of Tegana and Polo's duel in [[Peking]], the Doctor and his companions escaped in the repaired TARDIS. ([[TV]]: "[[Assassin at Peking]]")
Finding themselves in what appeared to be an English forest, the TARDIS crew discovered a medieval camp, a crashed spaceship, and were attacked by a dragon before being rescued by a knight. Taken to a nearby castle, they learned of a current conflict against the sorcerer [[Marton Dhal]], who sought further power by acquiring Merlin's old artefacts. Participating in a quest to gain [[Merlin's Helm]], the Doctor and Ian learned that the "magic" was the result of a complex nanobot network that allowed those skilled in its use to manipulate the world around them. With tutoring from the leprechaun [[Kilvenny Odoyle]], the Doctor was able to learn how to use the world's magic himself, joining Odoyle and witch [[Anni Glassfeather]] in a final duel against [[Gramling]], Dahl's former master, who had manipulated Dahl in the name of his own dreams of power. With Dahl defeated, the Doctor was able to arrange for the nanobot network to be disabled, leaving the people to learn how to cope without magic. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Sorcerer's Apprentice (novel)|The Sorcerer's Apprentice]]'')
The Doctor arrived in [[Greenland]] in [[1002]] due to a leak in the TARDIS' [[plutonium]] [[battery]]. He enlisted the aid of [[Eric the Red]] and his [[Viking]] crew to take him and his companions to [[Newfoundland]] to get the materials he needed for his ship. They were nearly left behind in [[Nova Scotia]], but the Doctor convinced the Vikings to take them back. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Who Discovered America? (short story)|Who Discovered America?]]'')
Arriving inside the tomb of Menkaure in [[Egypt]] in 26th century BC, the Doctor, Susan, Ian and Barbara were arrested and taken to the palace. [[Itennu]] planned to assassinate Pharaoh [[Menkaure]] with a poison dart and then blame the travellers. However, the Doctor inadvertently foiled the attempt with his walking stick and, when a more open attack began, the TARDIS crew fled back to the TARDIS. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Forgotten (comic story)|The Forgotten]]'')
When the [[Fourth Doctor]] used his [[TARDIS tuner]] to begin a [[temporal meta-collision]] with his other incarnations, the First Doctor received the call from his TARDIS food machine. However, he was unaware to what was happening, instead thinking that the food machine was broken. Before he could try to fix it, the [[Sixth Doctor]] arrived in his TARDIS and installed a button on the console to expel a [[Pandimensional entity (Doctors Assemble!)|pandimensional entity]] from the Fourth Doctor's TARDIS. ([[WC]]: ''[[Doctors Assemble! (webcast)|Doctors Assemble!]]'')
On a "night" in the TARDIS, the Doctor caught Susan trying to dissuade Ian and Barbara from exploring the TARDIS due to the "dangers" aboard the ship, and decided to give them a brief tour of the TARDIS to show them the so-called dangers were nothing more than what would encountered by "a [[zookeeper]] or a science teacher". Once he had convinced Susan she had been underestimating Ian and Barbara, the Doctor decided to retire to bed. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[In-Between Times (comic story)|In-Between Times]]'') Landing on [[Path of Skulls|an unnamed planet]], the Doctor, Susan, Ian and Barbara found a path of skulls laid to honour the dead. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Path of Skulls (comic story)|The Path of Skulls]]'')
[[File:The Keys of Marinus.jpg|thumb|The Doctor defends Ian in court. ([[TV]]: "[[Sentence of Death]]")]]
The TARDIS landed on an island on [[Marinus]], where [[Arbitan]] asked the Doctor and his friends to search for the keys to the reprogrammed [[Conscience of Marinus]] to regain control over the [[Voord]], as all of his other followers and family members failed to retrieve them. When the Doctor refused his aid, Arbitan trapped the TARDIS in a forcefield, preventing the Doctor and his companions' escape. They used Arbitan's [[travel dial]]s to reach [[Morphoton]]. ([[TV]]: "[[The Sea of Death]]") Barbara released Arbitan's daughter, [[Sabetha]], and the rest of the city from the [[Morpho (species)|Morpho]]'s mind control, and retrieved the first key. The Doctor jumped ahead to [[Millennius]], the location of the final key, to find [[Eprin]]. ([[TV]]: "[[The Velvet Web]]")
Once Ian had found two more keys, he was knocked out and framed for Eprin's murder. ([[TV]]: "[[The Snows of Terror]]") The Doctor stood as defence at Ian's trial, but Ian was [[Death sentence|sentenced to death]]. ([[TV]]: "[[Sentence of Death]]") The Doctor learnt that one of the conspirators in the murder, the prosecutor, [[Eyesen]], was ready to collect one of the keys and Ian was spared execution. The guards captured Eyesen and the last key was found in the mace that killed Eprin. The Doctor and his companions returned to Arbitan's island, where Arbitan had been murdered. Ian handed the Voord leader, [[Yartek]], a fake key, which destroyed the Conscience, along with the Voord. ([[TV]]: "[[The Keys of Marinus (episode)|The Keys of Marinus]]")
[[File:First Doctor Cameca.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor enjoys [[cocoa]] with the [[Aztec]] [[Cameca]]. ([[TV]]: "[[The Bride of Sacrifice]]")]]
The Doctor and his companions arrived in an [[Aztec]] temple in [[Mexico]]. They went through a one-way passage that prevented access to the TARDIS. Barbara posed as the Aztec [[god]], [[Yetaxa]], with the others as her servants, to find a way back. Barbara tried and failed to change the Aztecs' history of [[human sacrifice]] for the better, which the Doctor strongly advised her against. ([[TV]]: "[[The Temple of Evil]]") Susan was to be punished for denying marriage to the [[Perfect Victim]] of the Aztecs' sacrifice ([[TV]]: "[[The Bride of Sacrifice]]") and Ian to be executed when he was framed by the [[High Priest of Sacrifice]], [[Tlotoxl]], for attacking the [[High Priest of Knowledge]], [[Autloc]]. Autloc's faith in Yetaxa was shattered, and he left for the wilderness. The Doctor and Ian distracted Ian and Susan's [[Aztec captain|guard]] to escape. They worked on a pulley system to open the doorway back to the TARDIS. ([[TV]]: "[[The Day of Darkness]]")
Arriving in [[Afghanistan]] in [[1842]] during the [[First Afghan War]], the Doctor lost Ian when he was kidnapped by a brutal Gilzia chieftain called [[Gul Zaheer]]. Unable to track them down, the Doctor spent a month gathering Afghan allies to help him rescue Ian and another British prisoner, [[Symonds]]. But he was too late to stop Zaheer killing Symonds, so an enraged Ian killed Zaheer by throwing him into a pit. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Mire and Clay (short story)|Mire and Clay]]'')
During a visit to [[Chicago]] in [[2006]], the Doctor lost the TARDIS in a bet with a [[businessman]] named [[Buchanan (The Mother Road)|Buchanan]], who intended to auction off the time machine. Hiring a 60s [[Oldsmobile 88]], the Doctor and his friends travelled to [[Arizona]], [[Texas]], [[New Mexico]], [[Oklahoma]] and [[Missouri]], and the Doctor finally won the TARDIS back in [[Santa Monica]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Mother Road (short story)|The Mother Road]]'')
The Doctor next travelled to London during [[World War II]] and discovered the [[Bansharai]], alien shapeshifters who survived on emotions, had been posing as dead people to make the wishes of their loved ones come true. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Tell Me You Love Me (short story)|Tell Me You Love Me]]'')
The Doctor and his friends next arrived inside [[Maitland's ship|a spaceship]] in the [[28th century]], where two crewmembers were suspended in a state resembling death and another, [[John (The Sensorites)|John]], had had his mind opened and turned insane, following an attack on their minds by the [[Sensorite]]s. ([[TV]]: "[[Strangers in Space]]") The [[Sense Sphere]], which the ship had been trapped around, had its aqueducts' water supply [[poison]]ed with [[atropine]] by survivors of a previous human expedition whose ship had been destroyed. ([[TV]]: ) The TARDIS' lock was taken by the Sensorites, leaving the Doctor and his companions trapped on the spaceship. ([[TV]]: "[[Strangers in Space]]")
After the Doctor and his companions resisted the Sensorites, ([[TV]]: "[[The Unwilling Warriors]]") the Doctor, Ian and Susan agreed to go down to the Sense Sphere, ([[TV]]: "[[Hidden Danger]]") where the Doctor worked out the cure for this "disease", which had also afflicted Ian, while the Sensorite scientists treated John. ([[TV]]: "[[A Race Against Death]]") The Doctor and Ian, followed by Barbara, went to the aqueducts where ''[[Atropa belladonna]]'' had been growing. They found the human expedition and pretended to be a welcoming party for them and that the "war" against the Sensorites was won. The expedition was taken into custody on Maitland's ship. Maitland's ship was free to leave and the TARDIS crew regained their lock. ([[TV]]: "[[A Desperate Venture]]")
Greatly agitated by Ian and Barbara's remarks on his piloting, the Doctor landed the TARDIS on board the ''[[Endeavour]]'' sailing ship in [[1770]]. There, he and Ian met Captain [[James Cook]], but, before Susan and Barbara could exit the ship, it was tossed overboard in a violent storm. Greatly saddened by the loss of the girls, the Doctor and Ian continued on the ''Endeavour''{{'}}s voyage for several months towards [[Australia]] observing the transit of [[Venus]] along the way. Their time on the ''Endeavour'' ended when they discovered Susan had managed to swim out and attach a line to the sailing ship from the TARDIS and so be pulled along behind it. The travellers' joy at being reunited was short lived when the Doctor became disgruntled again because the TARDIS floor was now covered in patches of water. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Transit of Venus (audio story)|The Transit of Venus]]'')
The TARDIS then landed in [[France]] in [[July]] [[1794]] in the middle of their revolution. They were immediately caught in the depth of the war, ([[TV]]: "[[A Land of Fear]]") and Ian, Barbara and Susan were all sentenced to death. ([[TV]]: "[[Guests of Madame Guillotine]]") The Doctor helped find an English spy named [[James Stirling]] who could help them to escape. ([[TV]]: "[[A Bargain of Necessity]]") Escaping their jail cells, they made their way through the French and back to the TARDIS, where they made a narrow escape. ([[TV]]: "[[Prisoners of Conciergerie]]")
After escaping from France, the Doctor wanted to relax, but found himself on [[Planet (Rise and Fall)|a planet]] with a fast time rate, and discovered that [[Species (Rise and Fall)|the entire civilisation of the planet]] had been based around him, Ian, and the TARDIS. He and Ian then watched the rise and fall of the civilisation in a matter of minutes. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Rise and Fall (audio story)|Rise and Fall]]'')
After the TARDIS sustained some damage, the crew stayed on the planet [[Fragrance]] for a while, with the particular atmosphere of the planet caused them to create a strong friendship with a family of locals, to the degree that the Doctor gave the parents of the family, [[Iamb]] and [[Rhyme (The Fragile Yellow Arc of Fragrance)|Rhyme]], a guided tour of the TARDIS when it was repaired. However, when Barbara refused to requite the love of their eldest son, [[Rhythm (The Fragile Yellow Arc of Fragrance)|Rhythm]], and condemned him to death in doing so according to the usages of the planet, the Doctor sided with Ian and stopped Barbara from changing her mind. He then watched with the others as the young man went across the yellow arc of the planet, walking towards his fate. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Fragile Yellow Arc of Fragrance (audio story)|The Fragile Yellow Arc of Fragrance]]'')
After leaving Fragrance, the TARDIS landed in the [[Hanging Gardens of Babylon]] in [[BC#5|323 BC]], where the crew were welcomed by [[Alexander the Great]] to his court. They watched as the closest friends of Alexander died as victims of a plot to eventually kill Alexander himself. In the end, when Alexander was poisoned and started to grow weak, the Doctor offered to keep him alive through a rudimentary [[artificial lung]]. However, Alexander refused and accepted his fate, but not before asking the Doctor what his legacy would be. The Doctor told him that, though his empire was not to survive without him, Alexander's fame would live forever. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Farewell, Great Macedon (audio story)|Farewell, Great Macedon]]'')
Shortly afterwards, the Doctor announced to Ian and Barbara that he had found a way to take them home. However, as he was about to do so, the TARDIS was drawn to a nearby dying planet, landing near a giant [[crystal]] [[pyramid]]. The crew were greeted by the robots living in the pyramid and brought to their leader, the [[Perfect One]], a robot infused with an extraordinary similarity to human brain, to the point that he wished to actually become one. The Perfect One thought that the TARDIS crew belonged to the race of its creators, the [[Masters of Luxor]], and required them to help him become human. When the Doctor claimed that that was impossible, the Perfect One decided to imprison them, but the Doctor and Ian managed to escape. In a nearby canyon under the ground, they found a crypt where [[Luxor]], the creator of the robot, froze himself in a [[cybercoma]]. The Doctor and Ian woke him up and brought him back to the pyramid, with the intention of having him confront the Perfect One and prove to him he was just a machine. This resulted in the Perfect One losing control and destroying the pyramid and the other robots out of rage and despair. The TARDIS crew managed to escape in the mayhem. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Masters of Luxor (audio story)|The Masters of Luxor]]'')
The Doctor stopped a suicidal crew leader, [[Provost Rowd]], from wiping out the last remnants of the dying [[Metraxi]]s, and he later assisted a new leader, [[Egrabil]], to find a new home for the Metraxi. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[A Star is Born (audio story)|A Star is Born]]'')
Arriving in [[20th century]] [[Russia]] in pursuit of an alien artifact, the TARDIS crew met [[Grigori Rasputin]] and learnt that the artifact had driven some hunters from a nearby village mad. As they progressed to the hut where the object was kept, the influence of the artifact affected both the Doctor, who grew weaker to the point of almost dying, and Susan, who seemingly was driven mad and fled into the forest. The Doctor got better when Rasputin grabbed the object and absorbed its knowledge of the future. With Ian's help, the Doctor was able to drain almost all knowledge out of Rasputin's mind, only leaving some traces of it. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Wanderer (audio story)|The Wanderer]]'')
The TARDIS crew decided to spend some time on holiday in [[5th century|5th Century]] [[Alexandria]] around the time where the famous [[Library of Alexandria|Library]] would be destroyed. The Doctor greatly enjoyed reading the books contained in the rich collection of the place, but was greatly displeased when Ian started forming a close relationship with the philosopher [[Hypatia]], because he feared that would lead her to discover their secret. He then decided to depart, but stopped when Ian brought him a book, which the Doctor immediately recognised as belonging to the [[Mim]]s and containing a detailed plan of invasion for Earth. He wanted to take it away, but Hypatia stopped him, moments before the Mims attack the Library to retrieve the book. In the following confrontation, the book was destroyed, and the Doctor, using a rudimentary [[megaphone]], was able to talk to the Mims and persuade them they had nothing to fear anymore. The crew then departed, but not before the Doctor managed to sneak onboard some books he saved from the destruction of the Library. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Library of Alexandria (audio story)|The Library of Alexandria]]'')
The TARDIS landed in [[Seville]], where the Doctor asked Barbara to show him around, as she had once been there on holiday. He pretended to be a cardinal from Rome with Susan in order to try and release Ian from the [[Spanish Inquisition]], but he was found out and sentenced to death before Susan and Barbara saved him. When he heard from Barbara that Ian went to [[Cadiz]] to help [[Esteban Aribi]] on his mission, the Doctor thought he was trying to change history, so attempted to stop him. But quickly found out that Ian was part of history and his intervention would not change anything. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Flames of Cadiz (audio story)|The Flames of Cadiz]]'')
The TARDIS landed on [[Destination]], where the Doctor encountered {{Dreyfus}} for the first time since leaving Gallifrey. The Doctor was at first willing to sit and watch the city people and the [[Dalmari]] resolve their war before deciding that, as a member of the Master's race, it was his responsibility to do all he could. Spending two years ruling the planet, the Doctor brought peace to Destination before Ian and Barbara, having overpowered the Master, returned with the TARDIS whereupon the Doctor locked the Master away, saying that one day he might come back. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Destination Wars (audio story)|The Destination Wars]]'')
The TARDIS then landed in [[New York City]] in the year [[1888]], shortly before the [[Great White Hurricane]] where they were caught in a gang scuffle. While Ian was injured and taken to hospital, Susan had been taken away by [[Patrick Ellis]] with the Doctor's outrage at the police over this resulting in him being arrested for a night. Befriending Patrick's brother, [[Daniel Ellis]], the Doctor found himself caught in the gang war between the [[Alley Dogs]] and the [[Wild Boars]] as he tried to reunite with Susan, brokering a temporary peace between the gangs and the police to rescue her and Patrick from the ice. Upon returning to the TARDIS, the Doctor attempted to use a temporal slingshot to return Ian and Barbara to their time. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Great White Hurricane (audio story)|The Great White Hurricane]]'')
The slingshot took them to the planet [[Ashtallah]], home of the [[Ashtallan]]s, an immortal race with prodigious healing abilities. After witnessing their cells quickly healing Barbara, the Doctor discussed many scientific concepts with [[Brenna (The Invention of Death)|Brenna]] before a mysterious plague began killing the aliens. After the Doctor had helped Brenna create a method via which the Ashtallans could reproduce, Susan found that [[Sharlan]] had been killing their people, via a sample of Barbara's blood. Once the spread had been halted, the group left the planet, pondering the impact they'd had on the Ashtallans. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Invention of Death (audio story)|The Invention of Death]]'')
When the TARDIS landed in [[19th century]] [[Japan]] before it was opened to [[Westerner]]s, the Doctor and Barbara were taken prisoner at the orders of the daimyo [[Takagi Mamoru]], while Ian and Susan managed to escape, as Mamoru suspected the two of being spies from [[England]], sent to spy on his preparation for a revolt against the Emperor, who was about to open the country to strangers. The Doctor and Barbara tried to escape, but ended up being involved, together with Ian and Susan, in a battle between Mamoru's samurais and the Emperor's forces. As a defeated Mamoru sat in sadness, the Doctor comforted him, telling him that it would not be the end for Japan, and sharing in their common feeling of loneliness due to old age. The crew then departed after Susan retrieved the TARDIS from a nearby swap, where it had fallen into the water. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Barbarians and the Samurai (audio story)|The Barbarians and the Samurai]]'')
Soon afterwards, the TARDIS landed in [[Tyre]], where they won the favour of [[Princess]] [[Elissa]] and the ire of [[King]] [[Pygmalion]]. The group attempted to flee on the king's prized ship but the Doctor failed to board in time. Left behind, the Doctor was imprisoned before he befriended [[Aiyaruc]] who freed him and brought him to the site of the future [[Carthage]]. Reunited with his friends, the Doctor helped defeat Pygmalion's invasion fleet, before using the TARDIS to paint him and his friends as emissaries of the gods, allowing them to go free. Shortly after take off however, the TARDIS wound up in a hostile region of space-time, crash landing on [[Tick-Tock World|a temporally unstable planet]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Phoenicians (audio story)|The Phoenicians]]'')
Thrown clear of the crash, the Doctor mourned for the loss of his ship, snapping at his companions, especially when Susan claimed that the planet was inhabited by [[Xesto]]. When the group had met [[Horl]] and [[Katta]], the Doctor theorised about the planet's unusual properties before the group was taken to see [[Nocta]], who'd survived so long by hiding in a [[Zero Room|Zero Cabinet]]. When exploring the ship that held the Cabinet however, the Doctor was devoured by a Xesto. The nature of death on this world left him trapped outside of time with alternate versions of himself and a mysterious woman. Though the woman showed him how to reach out to Susan, he quickly butted heads with her over his treatment of Susan before realising that she was a future version of his granddaughter. When both Susans met, the Doctor encouraged them to touch and exploit the [[Blinovitch Limitation Effect]]. Thrown back to the moment of the crash, the elder Susan encouraged the Doctor to listen to Susan's plan to redirect power from the [[TARDIS force field]], allowing him to avert the crash. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Tick-Tock World (audio story)|Tick-Tock World]]'')
A later attempt to use the [[fast return switch]] to get Ian and Barbara home, resulted in the group's return to Skaro, fifty [[cycle]]s after their last visit. Brought to the [[Thal City]], the Doctor was introduced to [[Tryana]] before the two, along with Ian, returned to the Dalek City to find the missing Susan and Jyden. Finding that power still thrummed in the city, the Doctor grew increasingly suspicious of Tryana before they reunited with the children and Tryana revealed herself to be in league with the [[Dalek Supreme (Return to Skaro)|Dalek Supreme]] who claimed to want peace. Remaining to validate this claim, the Doctor found a secret tunnel leading out of the City and was quickly taken prisoner as Ian escaped and Tryana was killed. Kept alive for the secret of the TARDIS, the Doctor was marched back to the Thal City where he was rescued. Free, the Doctor reprogrammed the ionising towers to attack the Daleks, after which Ian overloaded the power to the Dalek City, before the group left Skaro again. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Return to Skaro (audio story)|Return to Skaro]]'')
The TARDIS then landed in [[Ekaterinburg]], shortly before the [[Russian Civil War]], where Ian and the Doctor were quickly taken prisoner, befriending [[Makerenkov]], a fellow prisoner. After the Doctor had confirmed the health of [[Nicholas II]], [[Yakov Yurovsky]] took him to a forest where the Romanovs would be buried after their execution where the Doctor realised Makenrenkov to be part of the conspiracy. Racing back to the house, the Doctor gathered his companions only for Nicholas II to have already accepted death, urging the travellers to flee. Racing back to the TARDIS before they could be executed, the Doctor pondered the [[Laws of Time]] and whether or not he had a moral imperative to intervene, even with a [[fixed point in time]]. Before he could muse further, the TARDIS unexpectedly lost all power. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Last of the Romanovs (audio story)|Last of the Romanovs]]'')
Following the TARDIS suddenly losing power, Susan helped her grandfather force a system reboot that forced the ship to land in a sewer in the human settlement of [[Urth]]. Given the humans' [[xenophobia]], the travellers were forced to submit to a genetic scan. Having only time to program one false reading into the machine, the Doctor insisted Susan go first, intending for Ian and Barbara to look after her, only for the genetic drift of humanity making Susan the only one of the four who actually read as human. Thrown into a cell, the Doctor befriended the gestalt being [[Brooskin]] whom he engaged in a medical and scientific discussion before Susan, in the good graces of [[Mummy Martial]] managed to free him and Brooskin. Freed, the Doctor liberated the settlement from [[Daddy Dominus]] before representatives from the larger group of human colonies arrived. Convinced that the problems would sort themselves, the Doctor led his companions back to the updated TARDIS and took off again, annoyed to find that his ship was still not working properly. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[For the Glory of Urth (audio story)|For the Glory of Urth]]'')
When Susan pulled a [[Golithan Spiney Back Beetle]] out of the console, the Doctor was convinced that she'd reparied the TARDIS and made another attempt to return Ian and Barbara to their time only to wind up in [[1601]]. When the four sought to see a play by [[William Shakespeare]], they found the [[Globe Theatre]] shuttered and a volatile political climate. Rescued by [[Judith Shakespeare]], the four were brought to Shakespeare's home. When Susan and Judith ran off, becoming involved in [[Lady]] [[Penelope Rich]]'s plot to dethrone [[Elizabeth I]], the Doctor confronted his granddaughter at the Globe but she refused to listen. After this had resulted in Shakespeare's arrest, Susan and the Doctor attempted to free him only for the Doctor to be arrested upon identifying himself. Speaking with Shakespeare again, the Doctor was soon freed by Queen Elizabeth, who had befriended Susan and brought a quick end to the conflict. When the time came to leave, Susan, Barbara and Ian expressed a desire to stay and see a play before an outside source activated the TARDIS and sent it flying away from England. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Hollow Crown (audio story)|The Hollow Crown]]'')
Soon after, the Doctor rescued [[Joseph Rennigan]], the sole survivor of an American space mission that crashed on [[Mars]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rennigan's Record (short story)|Rennigan's Record]]'') and visited a dying world, where Barbara was infected by an alien parasite which distorted her memories. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Nothing at the End of the Lane (short story)|Nothing at the End of the Lane]]'')
When the TARDIS was drawn out of the vortex by a mysterious noise, the Doctor, Susan, Ian and Barbara landed on ''[[EBV Nevermore]]''. Here they encountered the ship's captain, [[Rostrum]], who was a plant. The Doctor was appalled that Earth was making holes in the universe for navigational purposes but they ended up being navigational hazards. Susan told her grandfather about the [[First Mate]] and they both worked out that this was why Rostrum's leaves were dying as he was sabotaging the ship to save his universe. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Here There Be Monsters (audio story)|Here There Be Monsters]]'')
The Doctor, Susan, Ian and Barbara also 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]]'') Shortly after, the Doctor and Ian stopped a Blue plague in [[2908]] [[Prague]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Room for Improvement (short story)|Room for Improvement]]'')
When the TARDIS landed on [[Hydra]], the crew became caught in the war between the refugees and the [[Voord]], and the Doctor and Barbara first risked drowning and then were captured by the Voord. The Doctor healed himself thanks to a [[Coma|self-induced coma]], but the Voord thought he was dead and disposed of him. The Doctor became the leader of Hydra resistance, and was eventually able to think of a plan to destroy the Voord's main central power station. The Voord leader, [[Nebrin]], attempted to stop him by threatening Susan's life, but she was saved by another Voord, [[Tarlak]], and the attack was eventually a success. Hydra was thus released, and the travellers could depart once again. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Domain of the Voord (audio story)|Domain of the Voord]]'')
On the ship ''[[Endurance (ship)|Endurance]]'', the TARDIS crew were caught in the middle of a fight between the [[Last Born]]s, led by the scientist [[Myla]], and their enemies, the [[Shift]]s, a lizard-like species also created by the scientist [[Myla]]. The Doctor and Ian were captured by the Shift's leader, [[Arran]], and from him learned the whole story. Later, they were freed by the intervention of Myla and other soldiers and brought to the other ship of the Last Borns, the ''[[Resistance]]'', but the Doctor was severely injured in the process and brought to the infirmary. As he laid there, the ship was attacked and the infirmary was cut off from the rest of the ship, trapping inside the Doctor and a young physician, [[Olivan]]. By that time, though, the Doctor had recovered, and together he and Olivan worked out a way to get out and contact the main deck, so that the Doctor was able to join the others for the final fight against Arran. When all was ended, he gave precious advice to the new leaders of the Last Borns before departing. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Age of Endurance (audio story)|The Age of Endurance]]'')
In an attempt to make Ian and Barbara happier, the Doctor spent days searching for a tea plant so he could make the food machine produce tea, though kept them in the dark as to what he was looking for. He eventually found one on a [[Planet (A Small Semblance of Home)|planet]] that had once been a human colony, though the TARDIS crew had to escape a tribe devoted to guarding the plant. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[A Small Semblance of Home (audio story)|A Small Semblance of Home]]'')
On the planet [[Malkus]], the Doctor, Ian and Barbara got separated from Susan following an accident. Searching, they found her at the ruins of an empty military facility outside the city, where she and another man, [[Virgil Winters]], had destroyed an evil plan of exploiting "gifted" people as weapons, as Susan's latent telepathic powers had been ignited by the atmosphere of Malkus. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[E is for... (audio story)|E is for...]]'')
Arriving on the planet [[Sarath]] in the city of [[Arkhaven]], facing destruction as its moon descended towards the planet, the TARDIS crew were separated when a meteor strike hit the building the ship had landed on, resulting in the Doctor and Ian being taken to an NC2 camp while Susan was sent to hospital and Barbara was lost in the sewers. Although he lost his key to the TARDIS during a fight in the camp, the Doctor was able to tell his story to Captain [[Benadik Lant]], who passed it on to Mayor [[Brantus Draad]], who asked the Doctor to help them complete work on the [[The Ship (Arkhaven)|ship]] that would take the survivors to [[Mirath]] in exchange for the facilities to build a new key. During his time working on the Ship, the Doctor realised that it was a monstrous deception, but despite being distracted by the twisted actions of [[Monitor (Sarath)|Monitor]], the city's supervisory A.I., who had created android duplicates of [[Susan Foreman (android)|Susan]] and several others, the Doctor was able to help the citizens of Arkhaven leave their dying world in a landing module that had been upgraded with a life capsule from the TARDIS, giving the ship more interior space without increasing its mass. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[City at World's End (novel)|City at World's End]]'')
In another attempt to return Ian and Barbara home, the TARDIS malfunctioned, and they landed in a place filled with giant bugs and long, winding paths. Ian and Susan found a gigantic matchbox, while the Doctor and Barbara found a worm. Ian was trapped in the matchbox, which was taken by a man named [[Farrow]], just as the Doctor realised that they were on Earth, but they had been shrunk down to the size of an inch. Farrow met with [[Forester (Planet of Giants)|Forester]] to tell him that his insecticide had been rejected, and was killed by Forester. The crew, looking for Ian, heard the gunshot and ran to the scene, where they were menaced by a cat. ([[TV]]: "[[Planet of Giants (episode)|Planet of Giants]]") Entering the house, Barbara began to die when she touched the insecticide. ([[TV]]: "[[Dangerous Journey]]") She proceeded to contact someone through a telephone and reached [[Hilda Rowse]] and her husband [[Bert Rowse|Bert]]. They managed to grow back to size and Barbara recovered. Forester and his accomplice, [[Smithers]], were handed over to the police. ([[TV]]: "[[Crisis]]")
After they were separated from Ian and Barbara at the walls of [[Masada]] in [[73]] [[AD]], the Doctor and Susan worked with [[Flavius Silva]] as military advisors, and they were able to persuade him to spare Ian and Barbara by convincing him they were their spies. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Last Days (short story)|The Last Days]]'')
After the TARDIS materialised in [[12th century]] [[Nottingham]], the Doctor, Susan Ian and Barbara found themselves meeting the [[Sheriff of Nottingham]] and [[Robin Hood]], who looked identical to Ian. After Robin was killed during an attack on Nottingham's castle to rescue Susan and [[Maid Marion]] from the Sheriff, Ian handed out [[gold]] to the villagers, creating the legend of Robin Hood. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Thief of Sherwood (short story)|The Thief of Sherwood]]'')
=== Leaving Susan behind ===

When the group arrived in the ruined [[22nd century]] [[London]], ([[TV]]: "[[World's End]]")
Ian and the Doctor found that [[22nd century Dalek invasion|the Daleks had invaded]]. After learning about the invasion, ([[TV]]: "[[The Daleks (episode)|The Daleks]]") the Doctor and Ian were rescued from the [[Dalek Earthforce]] and brought to the resistance. Heading south to [[Bedfordshire]], ([[TV]]: "[[Day of Reckoning]]") the resistance discovered that Daleks intended to [[Project Degravitate|turn Earth into a warship]]. ([[TV]]: "[[The Waking Ally]]") Turning this plan against the Daleks, the Doctor triggered a volcanic eruption that defeated them. Recognising that Susan had fallen in love with resistance fighter [[David Campbell]], ([[TV]]: "[[Flashpoint (episode)|Flashpoint]]") and that she "needed to make [her] own way", ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Forgotten (comic story)|The Forgotten]]'') the Doctor reluctantly left her behind, promising to return. ([[TV]]: "[[Flashpoint (episode)|Flashpoint]]")
He continued to question his decision for centuries to come, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Forgotten (comic story)|The Forgotten]]'') and even slept through a materialisation because of his sorrow. ([[TV]]: "[[The Powerful Enemy]]") Ian believed that locking Susan out of the TARDIS was the bravest thing that he ever saw the Doctor do. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Revenants (audio story)|The Revenants]]'')

([[PROSE]]: ''[[Venusian Lullaby (novel)|Venusian Lullaby]]'')
Intending to give Susan a wedding ring, the Doctor, Ian and Barbara visited the mines of Alexandria. However, Ian was separated from the Doctor and Barbara, and Barbara accidentally created an alternative timeline after being sent nine years into the past. In the alternate world, King [[Ptolemy]] and his warriors went to war with the alien [[Rhakotis]], and Barbara soon fell in love with Ptolemy and married him, becoming Queen. After nine years of war, the Doctor used a book from Gallifrey to repair time, erasing the alternative history and costing Barbara her husband. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Book of Shadows (short story)|The Book of Shadows]]'')
The Doctor landed in the [[Orkney]] isles in [[1956]] thinking he could get Barbara and Ian back home. He didn't land fully when Ian and Barbara exited the TARDIS and he travelled further back in time. He waited for Ian and Barbara to catch up with him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Revenants (audio story)|The Revenants]]'')
The Doctor almost lost Ian and Barbara as companions when they considered settling down in [[1950s]] Shoreditch, and he spent four months investigating the [[Stone of Scone]] in [[Scotland]]. Shortly after this, Ian and Barbara decided life in the 1950s would be too difficult and rejoined the Doctor aboard the TARDIS. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Set in Stone (short story)|Set in Stone]]'')
The Doctor went on the trail of an energy being known as the [[Vrij]] and followed it to [[1553]] England, where he, Ian and Barbara met [[Jane Grey]]. Defeating the Vril, who had possessed the [[Duke of Northumberland]], the Doctor resisted the urge to alter Jane's fate and instead stayed by her side as she died. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Nine-Day Queen (short story)|The Nine-Day Queen]]'')
The Doctor had another encounter with [[River Song]] during his travels with Ian and Barbara. Because he spent his time "hanging out with the two teachers", River considered the First Doctor to be "boring". River wiped his memory with [[mnemosine recall-wipe vapour]] so the timeline would remain intact. ([[GAME]]: ''[[The Eternity Clock (video game)|The Eternity Clock]]'')
After being shrunk by the TARDIS, the Doctor, Ian and Barbara had to hide from [[Bird (Doctor Who in "Lilliput")|a bird]] under a button until [[Human (Doctor Who in "Lilliput")|a passing human]] inadvertently scared it away and they were able to return to the TARDIS. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Dr Who in "Lilliput" (comic story)|Dr Who in "Lilliput"]]'')
The Doctor, Ian and Barbara returned to Skaro, where they were attacked by intelligent insects called [[Zomite]]s.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Dr. Who on the Aqua Planet (comic story)|Dr. Who on the Aqua Planet]]'')
When the TARDIS landed in a giant spider's web, the Doctor had to rescue Barbara when she became caught in it, and dematerialised just as [[Spider (Dr. Who in the Spider's Web)|the spider]] approached them. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Dr. Who in the Spider's Web (comic story)|Dr. Who in the Spider's Web]]'')

The Doctor repaired the fault, allowing them to return home. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Dr. Who Meets the Watermen (comic story)|Dr. Who Meets the Watermen]]'')
After they constructed a [[ray gun]] to help them fight the Daleks, the Doctor and Ian went to [[Planet (The Defeat of the Daleks)|a planet]] occupied by Dalek forces, where Ian managed to destroy [[DK3|one Dalek]] with the gun, forcing the rest to retreat back to Skaro. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Defeat of the Daleks (comic story)|The Defeat of the Daleks]]'')
When Barbara asked how the control room fitted within the TARDIS, the Doctor explained to her and Ian the TARDIS' ability to use an [[entrance chamber]] to enter the [[time|fourth dimension]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Secrets of the Tardis (comic story)|The Secrets of the Tardis]]'')
The Doctor and his companions hid from a group of Daleks that were searching for them. The Daleks tried to find them with their new [[Earthmen Detector]], but believed it to be faulty when [[Cat (The Daleks Are Foiled)|a cat]] ran past the Doctor's hiding spot. As the Daleks left, the Doctor chuckled at being saved by a cat. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Daleks Are Foiled (comic story)|The Daleks Are Foiled]]'')
[[File:Nerve Machine Doctor Ian Barbara.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor thanks Ian for freeing him from the grasp of the Daleks. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Dr. Who and the Nerve Machine (comic story)|Dr. Who and the Nerve Machine]]'')]]
When the Doctor was paralysed by the Daleks' [[Nerve Machine]], Ian used the [[telepathic helmet]] to reach the Doctor, who explained the situation to him. Working with the information, Ian discovered the Machine and disabled it, freeing the Doctor. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Dr. Who and the Nerve Machine (comic story)|Dr. Who and the Nerve Machine]]'')
The Doctor arrived on Earth during the [[Ice Age]], causing the TARDIS' controls to freeze. A [[Monster (The Ice-Age Monster)|monster]] picked up the TARDIS in its jaws, but its hot breath thawed the controls, allowing them to escape. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Ice-Age Monster (comic story)|The Ice-Age Monster]]'')
The Doctor and Ian rescued [[Scientist (Rescued from the Daleks)|a scientist]] who had been captured by the Daleks and took him aboard the TARDIS to escape from the Daleks. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Rescued from the Daleks (comic story)|Rescued from the Daleks]]'')
The Doctor landed the TARDIS inside an air pocket at the bottom of the ocean. An [[Aquafein]] grabbed Barbara, but Ian shot it with a ray gun, causing it to release her. The arrival of more Aquafeins prompted their departure. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Escape from the Aquafien (comic story)|Escape from the Aquafien]]'')
The Doctor visited [[Planet (Where Diamonds Are Worthless)|a planet]] where Ian discovered dozens of huge diamonds. The Doctor told him that there were so many that they were worthless, and that they would disappear if carried into the TARDIS. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Where Diamonds Are Worthless (comic story)|Where Diamonds Are Worthless]]'')
When the TARDIS landed during prehistoric times on Earth, [[Creature (The Prehistoric Monster)|a creature]] entered the ship, but vanished when the Doctor moved the ship into a time when its species was extinct. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Prehistoric Monster (comic story)|The Prehistoric Monster]]'')
The Doctor, Ian and Barbara attended a séance at the house of [[Mr R]], when they and [[Edgar Allen Poe]] prevented an evil entity from entering their reality through a [[ram's skull]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The True and Indisputable Facts in the Matter of the Ram's Skull]]'')

[[File:VickiJoinsOne.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor tells Vicki how her father died. ([[TV]]: "[[Desperate Measures]]")]]
Still struggling to adapt to life without Susan, the Doctor, Ian and Barbara ended up on [[Dido]], where they met two survivors of a crashed spaceship, [[Vicki Pallister]] and [[Bennett (The Rescue)|Bennett]], and learnt a being called Koquillion had embarked on a reign of terror, leaving those who survived his wraith greatly fearful of him. ([[TV]]: "[[The Powerful Enemy]]") However, the Doctor soon discovered Bennett was actually Koquillion after he caused the crash when he was unmasked as a killer to prevent the crew from radioing back to [[Earth]]. He killed the crew, many Dido natives, but spared Vicki so she would back up his story when the rescue crew came to collect them. Just as Bennett prepared to kill the Doctor, two Dido natives saved him and forced Bennett to his death. With all of her associates dead, Vicki joined the Doctor in the TARDIS, providing him with a new youngster to care for as had been the case with Susan. ([[TV]]: "[[Desperate Measures]]")
Immediately following their departure from Dido, the TARDIS landed in [[64 AD]] in the area just beyond the great metropolis [[Byzantium (city)|Byzantium]]. Despite the Doctor's resignation from visiting the Roman Empire, the group made their way to the city. After a week in Byzantium, the group prepared to go back to the TARDIS, but were instead caught up in a large Jewish revolt in the market-square, separating them. At least two weeks passed before the group was brought together again, but then the TARDIS was missing, and the group joined a travelling caravan moving towards Rome, in hopes of finding the TARDIS along the way. ([[PROSE]]:'' [[Byzantium! (novel)|Byzantium!]]'')
Arriving near Rome, the Doctor and Vicki came across a Roman villa, where they found the caretaker, [[Lucius (Romans Cutaway)|Lucius]], wounded after being attacked by a lion. Shortly before his death, Lucius allowed them to stay in the villa in his master's absence, where they managed to kill the lion that attacked Lucius. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Romans Cutaway (short story)|Romans Cutaway]]'')
Having found the TARDIS and spent several weeks relaxing at the villa, the Doctor and Vicki decided to visit Rome. However, on the way, the Doctor was mistaken for famous lyre player [[Maximus Pettulian]] and was taken to meet Emperor [[Nero]]. ([[TV]]: "[[The Slave Traders]]") While at the palace, the Doctor discovered that prior to his death, Maximus was involved in a conspiracy to kill Nero, but was [[Assassination|assassinated]] by [[Ascaris]]. ([[TV]]: "[[All Roads Lead to Rome]]") After bluffing his way through a performance on the lyre, ([[TV]]: "[[Conspiracy (episode)|Conspiracy]]") the Doctor inadvertently gave Nero the idea to start the [[Great Fire of Rome]] when the light reflected through his glasses caused some maps of Nero's plans for a new Rome the Senate rejected to catch fire. ([[TV]]: "[[Inferno (episode)|Inferno]]")
In [[19th century]] [[China]], the Doctor and his friends discovered general unrest being put down by the [[ten tigers of Canton]] in the city of [[Guangzhou]], and also met [[Bill Chesterton]], one of Ian's ancestors, who had been stationed there by the army. Together with the Tigers and the British militia, they foiled the plans of alien invaders, before once again leaving in the TARDIS. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Eleventh Tiger (novel)|The Eleventh Tiger]]'')
The TARDIS made a forced landing on [[Vortis]] in the [[Isop Galaxy]]. Having explored the planet and initially thought his TARDIS had disappeared, ([[TV]]: "[[The Web Planet (episode)|The Web Planet]]") the Doctor and Ian encountered the [[Zarbi]] and were taken to the [[Carsinome]] city where they met the [[Animus]]. ([[TV]]: "[[The Zarbi]]") Having escaped the city, ([[TV]]: "[[Invasion (episode)|Invasion]]") the Doctor helped Barbara and a group of [[Menoptera]] defeat the Animus and free the mind controlled Zarbi. Having reunited, the travellers left with the inhabitants promising they would always sing songs about their great deeds in saving their planet. ([[TV]]: "[[The Centre]]")
The Doctor finally returned Ian and Barbara to London in 1963, but upon finding the city frozen in time, he realised the TARDIS had landed on a single static point in time. After fixing his ship, the Doctor whisked the schoolteachers away once more. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[1963 (audio story)|1963]]'') The TARDIS brought the travellers on [[Platform Five]], a floating city above the planet [[Jobis]], where they had a holiday for a time. Whilst the Doctor was helping a group of scientists attempting to communicate with the local giant rays, the [[Rocket Men]], led by [[Ashman (The Rocket Men)|Ashman]], attacked Platform Five. The Doctor helped the scientists fashion a force field to repel the Rocket Men's weaponry and succeeded in communicating with the rays, persuading them to attack the Rocket Men. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Rocket Men (audio story)|The Rocket Men]]'')
The Doctor, Ian, Barbara, and Vicki then travelled to [[1868]], where they attended a [[lecture]] by [[Thomas Huxley]]. After the lecture, they joined Huxley to help find a group of missing students in the [[London Underground]] and discovered the Zarbi. Taken prisoner by the Zarbi, the Doctor, Ian and Huxley found the Animus, who had reformed itself and had moved to Earth to take revenge on the [[human]] race. Ian was able to kill the Animus by driving a [[train]] into it. The Doctor and his companions prepared to leave, but the Doctor discovered that his companions were missing, having been pulled out of time by [[Adam Mitchell]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Unnatural Selection (comic story)|Unnatural Selection]]'')
Following a chronal trail left by the [[Eleventh Doctor]] as the [[Tenth Doctor]] merged their TARDISes together, the First Doctor joined his ten future incarnations as they stormed Adam's fortress in [[Limbo]] to save their friends from Adam and {{Ainley}}. Though the Master attacked them with Autons, [[Frobisher]] was able to free the captured companions, and they helped the Doctors fight off the Autons, as Adam had a change of heart when the Master revealed he intended to use the chronal energies he had stolen across the Doctor's timelines to destroy the universe. After the Master killed Adam as he foiled his plans, the eleven Doctors honoured Adam as a "true companion". ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Endgame (POT comic story)|Endgame]]'')
After a trip to [[Kenya]] resulted in him suffering from a fever, the Doctor found himself being nursed back to health by Vicki. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[White Man's Burden (short story)|White Man's Burden]]'')
The Doctor and his companions arrived on a planet in the early days of the universe. There, they discovered a huge shining crystalline city. It soon became apparent that there were two species on this planet, beings of Light and beings of Dark, and their only desire was to see the total destruction of the other. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Dark Planet (audio story)|The Dark Planet]]'')
The TARDIS arrived in the holy land in the [[12th century]]. Just as the travellers exited the ship, a scuffle took place between a group of [[Saracen]]s and a group including [[Richard the Lionheart]]. During this scuffle, Barbara was kidnapped, and the remaining TARDIS crew helped the injured [[William de Tornebu]] back to meet the King at his castle in [[Jaffa]]. ([[TV]]: "[[The Lion]]") With Ian sent to search for Barbara, the Doctor discovered the King wished to marry his sister, [[Joanna (The Crusade)|Joanna]], to [[Saladin|his enemy]]'s brother, [[Saphadin]]. ([[TV]]: "[[The Knight of Jaffa]]") However, Joanna was told of this arrangement and, after an argument with her brother, he accused the Doctor of revealing the secret. ([[TV]]: "[[The Wheel of Fortune]]") However, it was the [[Earl of Leicester]] who was indiscreet and, having left Jaffa and reunited with their friends in the forest, the Doctor, Ian, Barbara and Vicki made their escape before the Earl could arrest them under suspicion of witchcraft. ([[TV]]: "[[The Warlords]]")
The Doctor and his companions landed on [[Xeros]], only to find their future selves exhibits in display cases. ([[TV]]: "[[The Space Museum (episode)|The Space Museum]]") While they began trying to avoid this version of the future, the Doctor was taken by the [[Morok]]s to be prepared for the exhibit, ([[TV]]: "[[The Dimensions of Time]]") though Ian saved him. They were recaptured, but the [[Xeron]]s rebelled and freed them, preventing the future the Doctor had seen. ([[TV]]: "[[The Final Phase (episode)|The Final Phase]]")
While Barbara and Vicki were asleep in the TARDIS, the Doctor and Ian went to explore [[Seetar]], where they saved a local tribe from a giant worm-like creature and were soon after worshiped as gods. However, when the tribe prepared a human sacrifice in their honour, Ian intervened to stop it, and he and the Doctor were forced to flee. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[A Religious Experience (comic story)|A Religious Experience]]'')
Their next adventure took the group to [[1605]] London, mere days away from the [[Gunpowder Plot]]. After encouraging Barbara and Ian to enjoy a showing of [[Shakespeare]]'s plays at the Theatre, the Doctor took Vicki to the court of King [[James I]], disguised as a priest of York, with Vicki as his young male ward. Following the Doctor's unravelling of the true mastermind of the plot, a young member of a secret society plotting for England to fall into darkness, the group left once more in the TARDIS, which was undergoing a lengthy exorcism, believed to be a temple of Satan. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Plotters (novel)|The Plotters]]'')
After the TARDIS landed on [[Unitaria]], the single country of [[23rd century]] Earth, the travellers were caught by a group of rebels led by [[Markus (Daybreak)|Markus]], who Vicki recognised as the historical assassin of the [[Judge (Daybreak)|Iron Judge]], who's death lead to a revolt that put an end to Unitaria. Using her knowledge of Unitaria future history, Vicki saved her friends from execution by claiming to know the rebels' plans, and allied herself with [[Jensen (Daybreak)|Jensen]], whom Vicki knew would betray the rebels, but they discovered by the police of Unitaria and Jensen was shot and Vicki captured.

In the following fight, the travellers left in the TARDIS. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Daybreak (audio story)|Daybreak]]'')
While collecting minerals for the Doctor's latest invention, Ian and Barbara told Vicki of their past Christmases, and she used the Doctor's newly built machine to give them a nice Christmas in a shared-dream. However, due to Vicki's misconceptions of Christmas and the machine not being fully operational, the dream ultimately crashed, but Ian and Barbara still enjoyed their experience. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[All I Want for Christmas (short story)|All I Want for Christmas]]'')
When the Doctor and his friends arrived in [[1400]], he caught a cold. He decided to visit [[Sonning Palace]] under the guise of being a pilgrimage. At the [[Epiphany]] feast, the Doctor pretended to be the Lord of Misrule and entertained the people. He later went on a pilgrimage with Barbara to [[Canterbury]]. Whilst in London, he suggested to [[Geoffrey Chaucer]] that he should flee. The Doctor was later imprisoned with Ian and Chaucer on [[Thomas Arundel]]'s whim. He pretended to have plague to escape the guards. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Doctor's Tale (audio story)|The Doctor's Tale]]'')
The Doctor, Ian, Barbara and Vicki became trapped in a time loop, forcing them to relive Christmas Day in [[2004]] for two weeks with the Smythe family, which had been set by [[George Smythe]] as he couldn't bear to lose his children and his wife [[Patricia Smythe|Patricia]], who was leaving him for another man. After George killed Patricia, the Doctor convinced him to break the loop after it reset and she was restored. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Every Day (short story)|Every Day]]'')

On [[Aridius]], the Doctor discovered via the [[Time-Space Visualiser]] that the Daleks were on his trail to kill him and take the TARDIS, and that they were already on Aridius as the visualisation was in the past. ([[TV]]: "[[The Executioners]]") After saving Ian and Vicki from a Mire Beast, the Doctor and his companions escaped Aridius. ([[TV]]: "[[The Death of Time]]") With the Daleks in hot pursuit in their time vessel, the Doctor went to many different times and places to shake them off, including the [[Empire State Building]] in [[1966]] and the sailing ship ''[[Mary Celeste]]''. ([[TV]]: "[[Flight Through Eternity]]") They accidentally left Vicki behind at the [[Festival of Ghana]] in [[1996]], but she stowed away on the Daleks' time ship and followed the TARDIS to [[Mechanus]]. ([[TV]]: "[[Journey into Terror]]")
Returning to the [[planet]] [[Vortis]], the Doctor, Ian and Barbara saved a pair of [[Menoptera]] from the [[Zarbi]] and their [[larvae gun]] when the arrival of the TARDIS scared them off. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[On the Planet Vortis (comic story)|On the Planet Vortis]]'') The travellers were then confronted by the Zarbi, who captured the Doctor for his [[knowledge]]. However, the Doctor was saved when Ian and Barbara found the [[Animus]] and killed the [[brain]]. Having saved the grateful Menoptera from the Zarbi menace, the three took their leave.

The Doctor escaped, leaving the Daleks and Mechanoids to destroy themselves in a pitched battle for supremacy of the city. Steven got lost in the battle and was presumed dead by the travellers, ([[TV]]: "[[The Planet of Decision]]") but he had in fact stowed away in the TARDIS. ([[TV]]: "[[The Watcher (episode)|The Watcher]]") Preparing to leave, the Doctor was wary when Ian and Barbara asked him to help them use the Daleks time machine to finally return to 1963. Although he was sorry to bid farewell to them, he did as they asked. A while later, he and Vicki observed them back in [[1965]] [[Shoreditch]] on the Visualiser. ([[TV]]: "[[The Planet of Decision]]")

[[File:The Doctor & The Monk.jpg|thumb|The Doctor confronts the [[First Monk]] over his meddling ways. ([[TV]]: "[[A Battle of Wits]]")]]
Shortly after bidding farewell to Ian and Barbara, the Doctor and Vicki were shocked to find Steven aboard the TARDIS as the ship landed in [[1066]] [[Northumbria]]. ([[TV]]: "[[The Watcher (episode)|The Watcher]]") To his great dismay, the Doctor discovered another member of his race, [[the Monk]], was scheming to alter history ([[TV]]: "[[A Battle of Wits]]") by luring and destroying a Viking fleet with an [[atomic cannon]], which would result in King [[Harold Godwinson]] winning the [[Battle of Hastings]]. After the Monk was driven out of his [[monastery]] by [[Saxon]]s, the Doctor infiltrated [[the Monk's TARDIS]] and stole the [[dimensional control]]. When the Monk tried to take off after his plans failed, the interior of his TARDIS began to shrink beyond use, trapping him in 1066. ([[TV]]: "[[Checkmate (episode)|Checkmate]]")
The TARDIS crew met [[Xenith]], a city-sized sentient computer. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Are You Listening? (comic story)|Are You Listening?]]'') From there, they arrived in England during the struggles of the Suffragettes in [[1912]], where an alien skull created havoc in its conquest to kill all males. Vicki and Steven became telepathically linked with the alien, and through this bond, she was defeated. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Suffering (audio story)|The Suffering]]'')
The TARDIS travellers went to London in [[1814]], during the last [[Frost Fair]], where they met [[Jane Austen]] and, with her assistance, tried to prevent a [[The Cinder|Phoenix]]'s egg from hatching; if it did, the creature would absorb all the heat on Earth, condemning it to extinction. The Phoenix possessed [[Lady Georgiana]], the wife of the Deputy Warden of the [[Royal Mint]] [[Sir Joseph Mallard]], and with her help tried to enter the building, hoping that the heat of the furnace would be enough to hatch the egg. After tracing the egg, the Doctor offered the Phoenix to take it somewhere else, on a planet yet to be born, so that it could still live without endangering anyone. When the Phoenix refused, the Doctor and his companions stopped the furnace from working and let its fire die so that the Phoenix could die too. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Frostfire (audio story)|Frostfire]]'')
The Doctor attempted to increase the inhabitable space of the TARDIS using the dimensional control he stole from the Monk, but the experiment went wrong and he had to abandon the TARDIS. Whilst in a base on [[Ceres]], the Doctor was attacked by a robot. He became unconscious after being exposed to the elements, but was revived using the base's cryogenics pods. Whilst in the pods, he heard a voice that wanted to kill him. The Doctor worked out using the data Vicki had collected for him that [[Thorn (The Bounty of Ceres)|Thorn]] was behind the mysterious happenings on Ceres. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Bounty of Ceres (audio story)|The Bounty of Ceres]]'')
Landing in the city of [[Winter (city)|Winter]], the Doctor became intrigued about how they grew fruits and vegetables on a planet where it was constantly winter. He watched a graduation ceremony and thought something was wrong. He learnt that the citizens were working with the Daleks. With Steven's and [[Amala Vost]]'s help, he started the defeat of the Daleks, but was forced off the planet before their final destruction. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Dalek Occupation of Winter (audio story)|The Dalek Occupation of Winter]]'')
Immediately after leaving Winter, the crew visited [[T19]]. The Doctor theorised that something was wrong with the planet as he couldn't see traces of any large life. He got lost during a terraforming storm with Vicki and became ill. Steven, with help from [[Heathcote]], worked out how to cure him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[An Ideal World (audio story)|An Ideal World]]'')
Distracted whilst piloting the TARDIS, the Doctor managed to land in [[Cambridge]], [[1937]]. He pretended to be a visiting professor to avoid being thrown out of [[Sedgwick College]]. He became worried about what the proctors were doing, and thought that there was alien technology in the College. He learnt that [[Isaiah Hardy]], [[Linus Woolf]] and [[Charles Lewis]] were aliens observing human developments, and eventually stopped their plans. Upon leaving Cambridge, something went wrong with the TARDIS and Vicki disappeared, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Entanglement (audio story)|Entanglement]]'') having travelled into her own personal timeline. The Doctor sent Steven after her to stop her from changing her past. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Crash of the UK-201 (audio story)|The Crash of the UK-201]]'')
The First Doctor was pulled out of his time by the [[Time Lord]]s, who wanted his help in getting the [[Second Doctor]] and the [[Third Doctor]] to work together to stop [[Omega]], but he became trapped in a [[time eddy]] and had to advise his succeeding incarnations from afar, though he succeeded in getting them to cooperate. Once his successors solved the crisis, the First Doctor was returned to his proper place in time, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Three Doctors (TV story)|The Three Doctors]]'') with his memories wiped to preserve the timeline. After discovering a curious invitation on his person, the Doctor brought Vicki and Steven to [[Venice]] in [[1606]], where he met [[Galileo Galilei]], as well as his brother, [[Irving Braxiatel]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Empire of Glass (novel)|The Empire of Glass]]'')
The Doctor and his friends encountered a "[[Charlotte Pollard|ghost]]" in the TARDIS. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Light at the End (audio story)|The Light at the End]]'')
The Doctor, Vicki and Steven went to [[Prague]] in [[2348]], participating in the celebration of the 1000th anniversary of the [[Charles University]] and prevented scientist [[Jane Childress]] from erasing human evolution, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Long Step Backward (short story)|The Long Step Backward]]'') and defeated a toy snowman that had become animated due to contact with an alien bacteria in [[New York City]] at Christmas in [[2007]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Snowman in Manhattan (short story)|Snowman in Manhattan]]'')
The Doctor, Vicki and Steven stopped off at the lunar station on [[Phobos]], a moon of Mars, where they got caught in a sandstorm on the planet's surface with a [[Jarnian]] rescue crew, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Mars (short story)|Mars]]'') and visited [[Ca-Mon Green]], where they ended a war between humanity and the [[Kel-T]] over the mining rights of a mysterious blue liquid. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Power Supply (short story)|The Power Supply]]'')
The Doctor waited for Vicki and Steven when they ran from the Antoim who were shooting at them. However, his [[Fifth Doctor|fifth incarnation]] took his place and was forced to act as the First Doctor would have to protect the timeline when they visited [[Ravenna]], [[Italy]], [[540]]. The Monk had been behind the displacement in the Doctor's timeline. The Monk located [[Sophia (The Secret History)|Sophia]], a time-sensitive Human/Hetrodon hybrid in ancient [[Greece]] and used her abilities to create a hole in space-time, which the Monk planned to use to take the Doctor's place in history after being deeply affected by the death of [[Tamsin Drew]]. The Doctor brought a group of Antoim warriors to [[Earth]] in order to blackmail the Monk into restoring the Doctor's timeline. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Secret History (audio story)|The Secret History]]'')
When the TARDIS materialised in a spherical chamber, the Doctor became separated from Vicki and Steven. When he managed to find them, he had to stop them from firing a plasma cannon at a spaceship, as he had deduced that they were at a construction site, and that the spaceship housed were the builders' paymasters. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Corridors of Power (short story)|Corridors of Power]]'')
After being confronted by [[Robert Zierath]] for ruining his life by taking him on as a companion as a boy, the Doctor was forced to travel back in time and bring the young Robert on adventures with him, Steven and Vicki, and then return him home to maintain the [[Web of Time]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Schoolboy's Story (short story)|The Schoolboy's Story]]'')
When the TARDIS landed a city-sized sentient computer called [[Xenith]], the Doctor was forced to flee when Vicki and Steven got spooked by a robot, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Are You Listening? (comic story)|Are You Listening?]]'') only to realise it was a [[translation done]] after the TARDIS left. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Younger and Wiser (comic story)|Younger and Wiser]]'')
The Doctor and his friends arrived on a doomed planet, where they met the beautiful [[Drahvin]]s and the hideous [[Rill]]s, who had crashed on the planet after a confrontation in space. ([[TV]]: "[[Four Hundred Dawns]]") They discovered the Drahvin matriarch, [[Maaga]], had secretly terrorised the Drahvin to instigate a battle between Drahvin and Rills. ([[TV]]: "[[Air Lock]]") She tried to convince the Doctor to kill the Rills so she could escape the disintegrating planet. However, the Doctor allowed the Rills to refuel their ship via the TARDIS' power and escape, leaving the Drahvins to their doom. ([[TV]]: "[[The Exploding Planet]]")
The Doctor helped a stranded [[Lapino (species)|Lapino]], a member of a species that fed on emotions, to gather enough emotional energy to send a message to his home planet. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Planet of the Bunnoids (short story)|Planet of the Bunnoids]]'')
In [[BC|1200 BC]] [[Troy]], the Doctor was mistaken for [[Zeus]] and taken to a [[Greek]] camp, where he was held prisoner by [[Odysseus]] ([[TV]]: "[[Temple of Secrets]]") and offered his freedom on the condition he help them fight against the Trojans. ([[TV]]: "[[Small Prophet, Quick Return]]") With his friends caught up in the battle, the Doctor helped the Greeks to infiltrate the city. ([[TV]]: "[[Death of a Spy]]") With the help of Cassandra's handmaiden, [[Katarina]], the Doctor rescued an injured Steven from his fights with Trojan soldiers. Vicki fell in love with Cassandra's brother, [[Troilus]], and remained in Troy with the Doctor's blessing, whilst he gained a new companion in Katarina. ([[TV]]: "[[Horse of Destruction]]")
=== Temporary travels with Katarina ===
The Doctor and Katarina visited the [[Lakhotha]] tribe to seek [[Healing Song]]'s help to treat the injured Steven, but [[the Conduit]] violently transformed the whole tribe into plant and animal life. As he had to save Steven from his severe injuries, the Doctor did not have time to deal with the Conduit. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Scribbles in Chalk (short story)|Scribbles in Chalk]]'')
=== Fighting the Daleks ===
{{Section stub|Info from ''[[The Anachronauts (audio story)|The Anachronauts]]'', & ''[[Men of War (audio story)|Men of War]]'' needs to be added}}
The Doctor landed the TARDIS on the planet [[Kembel]] in the hopes of finding medicine for Steven's blood poisoning, leaving Steven in the TARDIS with Katarina. There, he encountered [[Bret Vyon]], a Space Security Agent who wanted to steal the Doctor's ship, and was knocked out and had his keys stolen. As Bret tried to get Katarina to pilot the TARDIS, Steven knocked him out and let the Doctor in. After securing Bret to a chair, the Doctor went outside again, where he heard a spaceship landing, and decided to head towards it in search of the needed medicine, only to learn that it was a [[Dalek saucer]]. ([[TV]]: "[[The Nightmare Begins]]")
After moving away from the Daleks unseen, the Doctor discovered a magnetic tape in the jungle undergrowth. He rejoined his friends who escaped from the TARDIS with Bret's help. Bret, however, informed the Doctor that the Daleks had started to burn down the jungle. With the Doctor resolved to find out what the Daleks were doing on Kembel and stop them, he and the others discovered a large landing bay with ships from the many outer galaxies and the ''[[Spar]]'' ship Bret recognised as belonging to [[Mavic Chen]], the [[Guardian of the Solar System]].
After capturing one of the delegates, [[Zephon (The Daleks' Master Plan)|Zephon]], the Doctor used his cloak as a disguise and infiltrated the meeting. There, Mavic Chen presented the Daleks with the [[Taranium|Taranium Core]], the power source for the Daleks' [[Time Destructor]]. However, the Doctor stole the Taranium and ran off before the meeting was concluded. ([[TV]]: "[[Day of Armageddon]]") Having only just managed to get aboard the ''Spar'' in time before Bret and the others blasted off, the Doctor learned of the Daleks' plans by listening to a tape he had retrieved with a message from [[Marc Cory]], another SSS Agent and associate of Bret's.
The Doctor and Bret agreed to head back to Earth and warn the authorities of the Dalek threat. However, the Daleks seized control of the ''Spar'' and forced it to crash-land on the planet [[Desperus]], where convicted criminals were sent. With Steven and Bret having fixed the ''Spar'' and the Doctor having used his ingenuity to prevent some prisoners getting on board, the ship took off again. However, another prisoner, [[Kirksen]], had snuck on board and took [[Katarina]] hostage inside the airlock. ([[TV]]: "[[Devil's Planet]]") Despite Steven and the Doctor's protests, Bret was forced to turn the ship back towards Kembel. However, Katarina opened the outer door of the ship, sending Kirksen and herself to their deaths in the vacuum of space. Shaken, the Doctor lamented that, while Katarina couldn't have understood what she was doing, he would always remember her as "one of the daughters of the gods".
After landing on Earth, the Doctor, Steven and Bret went to see [[Daxtar]], a friend of Bret's who he thought would believe their story, at a nearby research complex. Daxtar proved to be untrustworthy when he let slip he knew about the Taranium. Suspecting him to be in league with Chen, Bret shot him. Believing they would be caught any moment, the Doctor and Steven escaped just as another SSS Agent, [[Sara Kingdom]], arrived. Showing no mercy, she killed Bret before he had a chance to explain himself. ([[TV]]: "[[The Traitors (episode)|The Traitors]]")
Evading capture, the Doctor and Steven were pursued by Sara into an empty chamber were they all fell victim to a molecular dissemination experiment and were transmitted to the swampy planet [[Mira (planet)|Mira]]. A small Dalek task force soon arrived on Mira to apprehend the travellers and regain the Taranium. After the Doctor found Steven and Sara, they made their way to a nearby cave for shelter and tried to persuade Sara about the Daleks' plot with Mavic Chen, with Steven also furious with Sara for killing Bret, who Sara admitted was her brother. Suddenly, the invisible inhabitants of Mira, the [[Visian]]s, surrounded the cave, but a Dalek appeared and shot one of them dead, ([[TV]]: "[[Counter Plot]]") causing the other Visians to begin attacking the Daleks and, in the confusion, the travellers evaded capture, stole the Daleks' spaceship and escaped Mira. Upon their return to Kembel, the Doctor gave the Daleks a copy of the Taranium Core he had made on the way, and then returned to the TARDIS. ([[TV]]: "[[Coronas of the Sun]]")
The Doctor landed outside a police station on [[25 December]] [[1965]], where he was arrested. After being rescued by Steven, they visited a [[Hollywood]] film studio in the [[1920s]], though they did not know where they had landed and thought they were in an insane asylum. The Doctor was mistaken for an expert on Arab customs and had an encounter with [[Bing Crosby]]. Back on board the TARDIS, the time travellers toasted a Happy Christmas to themselves. ([[TV]]: "[[The Feast of Steven]]")
Resuming their travels, the Doctor found that the TARDIS was locked onto the signal of another time machine, which was travelling to several different Christmases throughout Earth's history. Eventually, Sara realised that the other time machine belonged to [[Robert (The Little Drummer Boy)|Robert]], who had become trapped in the machine after the death of [[Christopher (The Little Drummer Boy)|his twin brother]] and unintentionally trapped it in a loop where it would perpetually visit different Christmases trying to fulfil Robert's wish to go back to before his brother died of leukaemia. When the now-adult Robert touched the Taranium Core and reverted to his original age, the Doctor used the unique circumstances of the current situation to subtly change history, using the [[fast return switch]] to take Robert back to the last Christmas so that he could take the place of his brother, the TARDIS crew then taking him to Mars so that he could see something incredible before his death. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Little Drummer Boy (short story)|The Little Drummer Boy]]'')
While dreaming, the Doctor was brought to the [[Underworld]] by [[Persephone]] to guide Katarina through the [[afterlife]], even arguing with [[Hades]] until he was forced to allow Katarina to enter the [[Elysian fields]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Katarina in the Underworld (short story)|Katarina in the Underworld]]'')
When the TARDIS was dragged inside the [[Great Clock]], the Doctor was intrigued by its functioning, and insisted on going to explore. He, Steven and Sara saw the old men toiling inside the Clock, but, as they were trying to figure out what they were doing, they were captured by Space Security Service agents. The agents recognised Sara as one of their own, and took her to meet a superior officer for questioning. The Doctor and Steven managed to escape from their cell, and found a deserted monitor, which they used to search for information about their whereabouts. They discovered that they had landed in [[3999]], one year before their meeting with Sara, that Bret Vyon was the officer Sara had been brought to, and that Mavic Chen was there too. Steven proposed to go looking for Sara, but the Doctor stopped him, as them being spotted by Chen and Bret could have disastrous consequences for the future. Instead, they went back to the Clock to sabotage it and escape in the confusion. However, they ended up being trapped inside it, since the machine fed on the hope of escape of its prisoners and their efforts to find a weak link in its construction. They were freed by Sara when she managed to destroy the Clock. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Guardian of the Solar System (audio story)|The Guardian of the Solar System]]'')
On their travels, the TARDIS landed on a planet covered in water, where they found a set of miners in a collapsed mine. They were attacked by a tentacled creature, but Sara and the Doctor were able to reason with it. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Drowned World (audio story)|The Drowned World]]'') The Doctor, Steven and Sara then landed in [[Ely]] in a house which had a secret. He theorised that the house could sense what you desired. Exploring the house, they found dead bodies. The Doctor wanted to investigate, but Steven got annoyed when he couldn't find a way to get out of the house. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Home Truths (audio story)|Home Truths]]'')
The TARDIS later crashlanded in [[1950s]] [[London]], as a result of the psychic attack by a race of [[Anemone changeling (An Ordinary Life)|anemone changelings]]. Because of his bond with the ship, the Doctor fell into a coma as Steven and Sara brought him out, moments before the TARDIS locked itself as a defence mechanism, though he was conscious and aware of his surroundings. Steven and Sara were given shelter by [[Joseph Roberts]], a [[Jamaica]]n immigrant, and his nephews, [[Michael Newman|Michael]] and [[Audrey Newman]], but Michael was actually a changeling duplicate, and kidnapped the Doctor and the TARDIS. The changelings intended to use the TARDIS as a source of psychic energy for their morphing abilities, but deemed the Doctor unimportant their plans. As he gathered information about them during his imprisonment the Doctor finally awakened after two-weeks in his coma and, by Steven's intervention, reached Sara, explaining to her how to stop the changelings and shielded her presence so that she could reach their hideout undisturbed. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[An Ordinary Life (audio story)|An Ordinary Life]]'')
Attempting to rest on an asteroid, the TARDIS crew were caught in a conflict between members of the Space Security Services and a [[Sontaran]] platoon, the SSS forces seeking to take control of a Sontaran space cannon that would allow them to destroy any human ships passing through the only safe path through the asteroid belt. This crisis was made more complicated as Sara knew of this event from history. Despite the Sontarans infiltrating the SSS team using a stolen [[Rutan]] device to transform one of their own into a human, as well as the Sontarans managing to capture and interrogate Steven after a cave-in separated him from the rest of the team, the TARDIS crew and the SSS team leader were able to reach the cannon and destroy it with the aid of the asteroid's native population. Although the cannon was no longer a threat, Sara's knowledge of the future revealed that the asteroid would be found deserted around a year from then, suggesting that the Sontarans would kill them in revenge for this action, although the natives decided to hope for the best. With this example in mind, the Doctor, Steven and Sara decided that it was time to return to the battle with the Daleks. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Sontarans (audio story)|The Sontarans]]'')
The Doctor discovered that another time machine was on the same flight path as the TARDIS, and thought it might be the Daleks pursuing them. After briefly materialising in [[the Oval]] during a cricket match, the TARDIS landed on [[Tigus]], where the Monk, seeking revenge for being stranded in 1066, sabotaged the TARDIS lock, stranding the Doctor and his companions. However, the Doctor quickly fixed the problem and departed, with the Monk following close behind.
After briefly materialising in [[Trafalgar Square]] during the [[New Year's Eve]] night of [[1966]], ([[TV]]: "[[Volcano (episode)|Volcano]]") the TARDIS landed near a pyramid in ancient [[Egypt]]. Not only was the Monk there, but so were the Daleks, who had discovered that their Taranium Core was a fake. ([[TV]]: "[[Golden Death (episode)|Golden Death]]") After stealing the [[directional unit]] from the Monk's TARDIS and changing its shape to a police box, the Doctor was forced to hand over the real Taranium Core to the Daleks, who had taken Steven and Sara hostage. The Doctor used the directional unit to take the TARDIS back to Kembel. ([[TV]]: "[[Escape Switch]]") The Doctor activated the Daleks' Time Destructor, which destroyed them, transformed Kembel into a desert, and rapidly aged Sara to death when she came to aid the Doctor. ([[TV]]: "[[Destruction of Time]]")
=== Joined by Oliver Harper ===
[[File:First, Steven and Oliver.jpg|thumb|right|The Doctor with [[Steven Taylor|Steven]] and [[Oliver Harper|Oliver]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Cold Equations (audio story)|The Cold Equations]]'')]]
When the TARDIS materialised in [[1966]] [[London]], the Doctor and Steven encountered the [[Fulgurite]]s, who were involved in the trafficking of humans across the galaxy for slave labour with the full knowledge of the British government. The duo put an end to the Fulgurites' activities with the assistance of a young [[Sexuality|homosexual]] city trader named [[Oliver Harper]], who joined them in the TARDIS to escape being arrested for his sexuality. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Perpetual Bond (audio story)|The Perpetual Bond]]'')
The Doctor took Steven and Oliver to a satellite which was near a meteor field, but the [[Calleon]]s chucked the TARDIS off the satellite when they saw no value in it, annoying the Doctor. However, when a girl entered the TARDIS, he realised that she had accidentally caused the satellite to fall out of orbit, resulting in the satellite being fractured when it struck a piece of space debris, the Doctor and the Calleons in one part of the satellite while Oliver and Steven were in another. After Steven was able to perform some complex flight calculations to nudge his fragment back to the Doctor's, the Doctor worked with Oliver and the Calleons to draw up new contracts that would help the humans benefit from the Calleons' work while Steven recovered. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Cold Equations (audio story)|The Cold Equations]]'')
The Doctor took Oliver and Steven to [[Grace Alone]] after found their names on criminal records on a database in the future. He tried to hide his thoughts from the [[Vardan]]s to stop them from learning knowledge about the TARDIS, going so far as to fake his death and trick his companions so that he could take the Vardans by surprise later. Oliver would later meet his death at the hands of the Vardans while saving his friends' lives, disrupting the last Vardan in a final attack. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The First Wave (audio story)|The First Wave]]'')
=== The Game of Rassilon ===
[[File:HurndallScowl.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor in his [[Fifth Doctor|fifth incarnation]]'s [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'')]]
Knowing he was nearing his first [[regeneration]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (novelisation)|The Five Doctors]]'') the Doctor visited [[rose garden (The Three Doctors)|his rose garden]] for some peace and contemplation, while Steven rested in the TARDIS. As he tried to look for ways of rectifying his relationship with Steven, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Roses (short story)|Roses]]'') the Doctor was taken by a [[Time scoop]] to the [[Death Zone]], where he was reunited with Susan in a tower. After dealing with [[Dalek (The Five Doctors)|a Dalek]], the First Doctor and Susan found the TARDIS of the [[Fifth Doctor]], who was inside with his companions [[Tegan Jovanka]] and [[Vislor Turlough]]. Heading to the [[Tower of Rassilon]] with Tegan, the First Doctor met a future incarnation of {{Ainley}}, who slaughtered the [[Cybermen]] keeping him prisoner, as he and the Doctor manoeuvred around the tower's traps, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'') with the Doctor contemplating on the "evil" he felt in the Tower. ([[POEM]]: ''[[A Simple Truth (poem)|A Simple Truth]]'')
Reaching the Tomb of Rassilon, the First Doctor joined with his [[Second Doctor|second]] and [[Third Doctor|third incarnations]] to study the writing on [[Rassilon]]'s tomb, and open the teleportation systems. The Fifth Doctor arrived, under the control of Lord {{Latham}}, who had brought the Doctors there to help him retrieve immortality from Rassilon. The combined concentration of the three Doctors, however, was enough to break Borusa's control over their future incarnation. When Borusa spoke to Rassilon and took his offer of immortality, the First Doctor realised the true meaning of the inscriptions related to the immortality offered by Rassilon and triggered the events leading to Borusa's eternal imprisonment within a sarcophagus. The Doctor then left with Susan as he was returned to his time zone by Rassilon. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'')

After returning Susan to her new home, the Doctor began travelling on his own with the ability to pilot the TARDIS effectively, as a favour granted to him by [[Rassilon]] as he was approaching his first regeneration, allowing him to tie up some of the loose ends he had left. He took this opportunity to show [[Rebecca Nurse]] how her death would be perceived in the future, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Witch Hunters (novel)|The Witch Hunters]]'') and perform the prologue for [[William Shakespeare]]'s ''Troilus and Cressida''. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Troilus and Cressida (short story)|Troilus and Cressida]]'') He also visited [[Birr]] and met [[Phlege]] the leader of the [[Verdant]]s. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Mission for Duh (comic story)|Mission for Duh]]'')
The Doctor gave assistance to the [[Xeraphin]] when the [[Vardon-Kosnax War]] approached their solar system, advising them to transform themselves into pure energy and combine into a gestalt life form that would be secured inside a protective sarcophagus. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Vardon Horse (short story)|The Vardon Horse]]'')
[[File:One in the Void.jpg|thumb|The Doctor works with his future selves within the Void. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Lost Dimension (comic story)|The Lost Dimension]]'')]]
Along with seven of his other incarnations, the First 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]]'')
The Doctor visited [[Vortis]] again, at a time in which the [[Zarbi Supremo]] had moved the planet to the [[solar system]]. With the aid of [[Gordon Hamilton]], he freed the crew of the ''[[Solar Queen]]'' from the Supremo's control, allowing them to turn on and kill the Zarbi leader. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Lair of Zarbi Supremo (short story)|The Lair of Zarbi Supremo]]'')
After an incident with the [[Dalek]]s on [[Skaro]], the Doctor landed on [[Mechanistria]] and met the [[Korad]] named [[Drako]]. After a narrow escape from the [[Mechanistrian]]s, the Doctor took Drake back in time ten million years, where Drako hoped to prevent his world from becoming overly mechanised. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Peril in Mechanistria (short story)|Peril in Mechanistria]]'') The Doctor then visited [[Kandalinga]], where he freed the [[Fishman|Fishmen]] from the clutches of the [[Voord]] and stopped their leader from stealing his TARDIS. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Fishmen of Kandalinga (short story)|The Fishmen of Kandalinga]]'')
[[File:First Doctor the Moment.jpg|thumb|The Doctor during the final moments of the Time War. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'')]]
The First Doctor teamed up with all of his other incarnations to save Gallifrey from destruction at the end of the [[Last Great Time War]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') even joining them on the surface of the planet to save people from natural disasters that were occurring as a result of their attempt to shift it into another dimension. Shortly after meeting for [[tea]] with his other incarnations to celebrate in the [[Under Gallery]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') the First Doctor lost all memory of the events due to the timelines not being synchronised. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'')
The Doctor was trapped in [[the Determinant]] by {{Ainley}}, along with his six succeeding incarnations. He was saved after [[the Graak]] defeated the Master and sacrificed its life force to free the trapped Doctors. ([[GAME]]: ''[[Destiny of the Doctors (video game)|Destiny of the Doctors]]'')
The Doctor attempted to form a band with his second, third and fourth incarnations, but creative differences, and the fact that they all wanted to play the [[drum]]s, broke them up. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Day of the Tune (comic story)|Day of the Tune]]'')
After stopping off on Earth in [[2067]], the Doctor arrived on the homeworld of the [[Ethereal (The Cloud Exiles)|Ethereals]] and was captured by living clouds. He learned that they were Ethereals, who had been turned into clouds by their former servants, the [[Baggolt]]s. The Doctor restored their original bodies and helped them put an end to the Baggolt rebellion. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Cloud Exiles (short story)|The Cloud Exiles]]'')
The Doctor arrived on a planet ruled by the sons of [[Grekk]], who liked to imprison the native lifeforms. He helped the prisoners turn the tables on the captors and imprisoned them instead, hoping that this would improve their attitudes. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Sons of Grekk (short story)|The Sons of Grekk]]'') The Doctor returned to the planet [[Tiro]], where he was reunited with [[Argon (Terror on Tiro)|Argon]] and helped him defeat [[Klarimo]] once more, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Terror on Tiro (short story)|Terror on Tiro]]'') and then returned to the planet [[Birr]], where he was caught in a trap and forced to fix a spaceship of aliens who had taken the inhabitants prisoner. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Mission for Duh (comic story)|Mission for Duh]]'')
The Doctor arrived on [[Corbo]], where he rescued the crew of an Earth-Mars expedition, who were being held prisoner by the natives, and took them aboard the TARDIS.

([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Playthings of Fo (short story)|The Playthings of Fo]]'')
Travelling alone once more, the Doctor arrived on [[Bruhl]], home of the [[Glacian]]s, which had been taken over by the tyrant [[Rraprro]].

([[PROSE]]: ''[[Justice of the Glacians (short story)|Justice of the Glacians]]'') The Doctor landed on the bottom of a sea, where he was captured by pirates. They forced him to accompany an attack on the land-dwellers, but he escaped and returned to the TARDIS. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Ten Fathom Pirates (short story)|Ten Fathom Pirates]]'')
The Doctor travelled to the [[Institute of Time]] at the [[end of the universe]], only to find that everyone there had committed [[suicide]] due to the psychological effect the end of everything was having on them. He was soon joined by the [[Eighth Doctor]], and he renewed his future self's diminishing interest in travel by reminding him that, even though the universe was finite, there was still enough of it to travel in. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The End (short story)|The End]]'')
After helping [[Astronaut (Dr. Who on the Planet Zactus)|an astronaut]] on the planet [[Zactus]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Dr. Who on the Planet Zactus (comic story)|Dr. Who on the Planet Zactus]]'') the Doctor landed on [[Marinus]], and discovered a conflict between the [[Voord]] and the [[Dalek]]s. The two species eventually forged a treaty, and both headed to [[Earth]] to locate the [[Great Power]], taking the Doctor with them. He attempted to sabotage their ship, but was overpowered by the Voord, who launched him into space, although he was saved by the Daleks. He was able to warn the Earth of the fleet and told the Voord of the Daleks' plan to destroy them once finding the Great Power. The Voord and the Daleks began fighting again in Earth's atmosphere, as the Doctor landed in [[South America]] in an [[escape pod]].
In the pod, he was attacked by the [[Chief Voord]], but gained his trust after saving his life. The two then learned that the Great Power was a [[mushroom]] whose juice would expand minds to exponential amounts. The Daleks were looking for the mushroom in the wilderness, and the pair hatched a scheme for the Chief Voord to lead them to the mushrooms. At first, the Daleks grew extremely intelligent due to the juice, but they all soon perished due to its poisonous nature. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Daleks (short story)|Doctor Who and the Daleks]]'')
Shortly afterwards, the Doctor came to the assistance of the Daleks when their own creation, the [[machine brain]], turned against them. He deactivated the machine, and the Daleks held a banquet in his honour. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Daleks (short story)|Doctor Who and the Daleks]]'')

Taking his grandchildren to [[Vortis]], the Doctor was attacked by the [[Zarbi]] and saved by the Menoptera, who asked him to investigate the Zarbi's strange new powers. They discovered a crashed spaceship and a slave camp of Menoptera in the mountains. After being ambushed by Zarbi, the Doctor was held hostage and discovered the alien [[Skirkon]]s were impersonating the Zarbi and using [[Galvinium X]], the rarest and most explosive mineral in the universe, to build bombs to engulf the universe. The Doctor was rescued by John and Gillian, and destroyed the Skirkons' ship by igniting the Galvinium X machine, killing the Skirkons and freeing the Menoptra and Zarbi slaves. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[On the Web Planet (comic story)|On the Web Planet]]'')

In the town of [[Hamelin]], the Doctor, John and Gillian offered to save the children population from the [[Pied Piper]]. After fighting off a dragon and spending the night trapped in the castle, the Doctor confronted the Piper. The Piper told him that, if he wanted to save the children, he would have to pass three tests. The Doctor used his wit and gadgetry to best the Piper, and afterwards, the Pied Piper's castle vanished. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Challenge of the Piper (comic story)|Challenge of the Piper]]'')
The Doctor parked the TARDIS in Earth orbit on [[20 July]] [[1970]], so that he and his grandchildren could watch the first manned flight to the moon. When the astronauts fell through a crack in the moon's crust into a deep chasm, the Doctor ventured onto the moon and used a blackboard to communicate with the astronauts in the vacuum. He told them to use the moon's reduced gravity to jump out of the chasm, which resulted in them being freed. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Moon Landing (comic story)|Moon Landing]]'')
After landing on an island, the Doctor and his grandchildren lost the TARDIS in the sea.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Caterpillar Men (comic story)|The Caterpillar Men]]'')
[[File:Ordeals of disaster.jpg|thumb|180x|The Doctor has a hunch. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Ordeals of Demeter (comic story)|The Ordeals of Demeter]]'')]]
The Doctor was invited to a banquet in the palace on [[Demeter (planet)|Demeter]], but the event was ruined when Demeter came under attack from robots on the neighbouring planet, [[Bellus]]. The Doctor helped evacuate the palace by taking everyone into the TARDIS, where he activated the tremulator, which deflected the destructive waves from Bellus back to that planet, destroying it.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[A Christmas Story (comic story)|A Christmas Story]]'')
[[File:Pick_of_the_Jokes_Doctor_Who_TVC_740.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor mistakes a [[police box]] for his TARDIS. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Untitled (TVC 740 comic story)|Untitled]]'')]]
The Doctor was on Earth and approached what he believed to be his TARDIS. When a [[Police officer (TVC 740 Untitled)|police officer]] exited the box, he realised that he had the wrong [[police box]] and apologised. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Untitled (TVC 740 comic story)|Untitled]]'')
Visiting a zoo, the Doctor, John and Gillian decided to track down a missing [[didus]] that was believed to be extinct. John was kidnapped by savages and nearly burned to death, but the Doctor saved him by scaring them with magnesium.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Didus Expedition (comic story)|The Didus Expedition]]'')
The TARDIS landed on [[Space Station Z-7]], which had been seized by rebel forces. The Doctor was taken before the rebel leader and refused to co-operate in creating a doomsday device, even when the rebels threatened John and Gillian's lives.

The Doctor landed on the [[Haunted Planet]], a world he knew of by reputation and had always feared that he would one day visit. Deciding to explore anyway, he and his grandchildren discovered the home of [[Zentor]], a scientist plotting to threaten the universe with a deadly gas of his creation and hold them to ransom. The Doctor tricked him by pretending to have been killed and come back as a ghost to haunt Zentor, who fled outside into a swamp, where he drowned. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Haunted Planet (comic story)|The Haunted Planet]]'')
On the planet [[Zerox]], the Doctor made John and Gillian stay in the TARDIS, thinking it would be too dangerous for them.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Hunters of Zerox (comic story)|The Hunters of Zerox]]'')
The Doctor landed on the bottom of a deep ocean, where he and his grandchildren were taken aboard a [[Underwater Robot|giant walking robot]] used by criminals to plunder cargo ships of their wealth. The Doctor defeated the criminals and freed the slaves forced to operate the robot. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Underwater Robot (comic story)|The Underwater Robot]]'')
The Doctor landed on a boat on the planet [[Int]]. He discovered that it was carrying a bomb and tried to leave, but interference from the boat's force field prevented the TARDIS from dematerialising. The Doctor cut down one of the boat's masts and used it as an oar to steer the boat onto a course back to the coast. The force field was deactivated so that the boat could be destroyed, and the Doctor departed. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Deadly Vessel (comic story)|Deadly Vessel]]'') On a green planet, a giant bird captured John and Gillian and imprisoned them in a cage, but the Doctor freed them by getting a [[Ugly animal|cat-like animal]] to chew through the cage.

On a visit to another alien planet, the Doctor, John and Gillian were captured by members of a so-called Master Race attempting to develop space flight. They decided to use the time-travellers as live test subjects in an experimental rocket, but they escaped and returned to the TARDIS. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Experimenters (comic story)|The Experimenters]]'')

The Doctor and Steven stopped an alien invader on a nearby beach with the help of [[Greenaway]], who lost his legs and part of his skull in the incident, and ended up in a coma. The Doctor made telepathic contact with Greenaway to try to prompt him out of his coma, but Greenaway declined to do so. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Greenaway (short story)|Greenaway]]'')
The Doctor and Steven used a [[helicopter]] to fight a giant [[mosquito]], with the Doctor destroying the creature with washing up liquid. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Do You Smell Carrots? (short story)|Do You Smell Carrots?]]'')
Arriving in a forest on [[Christmas Eve]], the Doctor and Steven discovered a family forced for generations to care for alien trees. Learning the trees had taken one member of the family who hadn’t believed his father’s warnings, the Doctor berated the trees for taking advantage of the family, convincing them to release him. With a more amicable relationship between the family and trees established, the Doctor and Steven left to celebrate Christmas themselves. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[O Tannenbaum (audio story)|O Tannenbaum]]'')
Steven and the Doctor once again met the [[Vardan]]s in the connection between [[Earth]] and the [[Mediosphere]] when they came up with the idea of using [[comedy]] [[television]] to spread a [[virus (The Vardan Invasion of Mirth)|virus]] that would kill humans with [[laughter]] after studying radio frequencies from Earth in order to conquer the planet. However, a [[comedian]], [[Teddy Baxter]], and his [[Straight man (comedy)|straight man]], [[Stan (The Vardan Invasion of Mirth)|Stan]], perceived them while observing the stars. The Vardans managed to pull Stan into the Mediosphere, but were unable to do the same with Teddy.
While the Doctor and the TARDIS were absorbed into the Mediosphere, Steven was stranded in [[1950s]] [[London]]. When the Vardans brought Steven and Teddy to their spaceship, they tried to absorb Teddy as well, but made the mistake of showing Teddy a possible future. This made it impossible for them to kill him, since, as the Doctor explained, once the future had been made real, it became a [[fixed point in time]], and if the Vardans killed Teddy, this would trap them into a [[time bubble]]. Steven and the Doctor then helped Teddy to defeat the Vardans, chasing them from Earth, before bringing him back to Earth in the TARDIS. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Vardan Invasion of Mirth (audio story)|The Vardan Invasion of Mirth]]'')
=== Meeting Dodo ===
The Doctor and Steven arrived in [[Paris]] in [[1572]], where the Doctor decided to visit [[Charles Preslin]], leaving Steven to sightsee. ([[TV]]: "[[War of God]]") After a few days, the Doctor reunited with Steven, and realised that the [[St Bartholomew's Day massacre]] was about to begin, forcing them to hastingly departed in the TARDIS. Steven was angry that the Doctor had deliberately left a French girl he had befriended, [[Anne Chaplet]], to her probable death, and disregarded the Doctor's plea that he couldn't rewrite history. He decided to leave the TARDIS when it landed in [[Wimbledon Common]] in [[1966]], leaving the Doctor alone to reminisce over all of the companions who had left him. He briefly wondered if he should return to his own planet, but decided that he could not. However, Steven returned when a young girl named [[Dodo Chaplet]] forced her way into the TARDIS, which then departed. ([[TV]]: "[[Bell of Doom]]")
The TARDIS took them to [[New York City]] in [[1965]], where a cult had formed around six self-proclaimed "gods", who performed miracles on their followers. The Doctor's suspicion proved true when the gods turned out to be alien lifeforms, who existed by belief and gained power equal to the faith the humans held in them. Recognising the danger such creatures posed, the Doctor worked with the US military to weaken the faith of the gods' worshippers, and subsequently driving the gods away by dropping a dud bomb that everyone watching believed would harm the gods. The Doctor and Steven subsequently accepted their differences and departed in the TARDIS, taking Dodo as their new companion. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Salvation (novel)|Salvation]]'')

Celebrating their victory, the Doctor hurt his tooth while eating a sweet. ([[TV]]: "[[The Final Test]]")
In search of a dentist, the TARDIS arrived at [[Tombstone, Arizona]] in [[1881]], where the Doctor received treatment from [[Doc Holliday]].

The Doctor, Steven and Dodo settled down in [[1812]] [[Russia]] for a while, where the Doctor became the tutor for a local gentry's children, though he still wished to leave the country before [[Napoléon Bonaparte]] invaded. Before Napoléon arrived, however, the Doctor was attacked by a [[shape thief]] who took his form, but he caused the thief's downfall by convincing him that Napoléon was going to win and tricked him into taking Napoléon's form. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Mother Russia (audio story)|Mother Russia]]'')
Landing on [[Ulysses 519]], the Doctor, Steven and Dodo discovered a group of colonists being raided by a crew of [[Rocket Men]] led by [[Van Cleef]].

([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Return of the Rocket Men (audio story)|Return of the Rocket Men]]'')
On [[Bukol]], the First Doctor got caught up in his [[sixth incarnation]]'s attempt to protect shape-shifters [[Orsa]] and [[Alëza]] from the assassin [[Mykloz]], with the First Doctor being arrested due to Orsa and Alëza taking on Steven and Dodo's forms and labelling him an impostor, but he was able to clear his name with the aid of his old friend [[Anu-Ak]].

([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dream (short story)|The Dream]]'')
On the planet [[Comfort]], the TARDIS arrived in the middle of a war. The Doctor realised that the inhabitants were brainwashed into boldly following orders. The locals took him to their leader when they realised he wasn't local. He was able to use his status as an outsider to end the staged conflict that was part of the system on Comfort by identifying himself as the leader of the enemy forces, despite the fact that the "enemy" were the same population wearing different uniforms, and end the war by declaring his "surrender". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The War To End All Wars (audio story)|The War to End All Wars]]'')
The Doctor, Steven and Dodo arrived on [[Planet (The Savages)|a planet]] shared by two very different peoples; the [[Elder]]s and the [[Savage (The Savages)|Savages]]. The Elders led a civilised lifestyle, but their intelligence was gained by draining the life energy from the Savages. The Doctor stopped this practice with the aid of a group of Savages by destroying the laboratory and equipment that transferred energy from the Savages and left Steven behind to keep the peace between the two groups for the future. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Savages (TV story)|The Savages]]'')
=== Exploits with Dodo ===
{{Section stub|Info from ''[[The Horror at Bletchington Station (audio story)|The Horror at Bletchington Station]]'', & ''[[The Rag & Bone Man's Story (short story)|The Rag & Bone Man's Story]]'' needs to be added}}

The Doctor and Dodo arrived on [[Tarron]], where the Doctor exposed the truth of the Azmec Corporation's holoprobe. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Tarnished Image (short story)|Tarnished Image]]'')
When the TARDIS materialized on the petal of a gigantic flower, the Doctor found that had been infected by a parasitic crystal plague that manifested in the form of dancing fairies, and smashed the crystal to kill the parasites, though Dodo found it upsetting. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[There are Fairies at the Bottom of the Garden (short story)|There are Fairies at the Bottom of the Garden]]'')
The TARDIS landed in what appeared to be Paris just after the French Revolution, but history had been perversely warped. Dodo and the Doctor became separated, with Dodo being taken in by a travelling troupe of actors, and the Doctor being held prisoner in the Bastille. They discovered that the history in which they had landed was an altered history, made by aliens whose curiosity made them rewrite history to the designs of a depressed [[Marquis de Sade]]. After correcting history, Dodo and the Doctor left the alternate France behind. By this point, the Doctor's physical strength was beginning to leave him as his first regeneration approached. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Man in the Velvet Mask (novel)|The Man in the Velvet Mask]]'') However, he resisted the process and held back the change. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (novelisation)|Twice Upon a Time]]'')
[[File:Doctor facing War Machine.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor faces a War Machine. ([[TV]]: ''[[The War Machines (TV story)|The War Machines]]'')]]
Sometime later, the Doctor managed to return Dodo to [[London]] in her own time. There, the Doctor noticed the new [[Post Office Tower]] and felt compelled to investigate the building. Inside, he discovered a new supercomputer called [[WOTAN]], which had become sentient. It gained mental control of its creator and several others, including Dodo, and forced them to create mobile [[War Machine]]s to take over London. Having almost been taken over himself, the Doctor discovered Dodo's true motives and put her to sleep with hypnotism. With the Army being called in by Sir [[Charles Summer]], there was an unsuccessful raid on a [[Covent Garden]] warehouse and the War Machines attacked. However, the Doctor managed to stare down the machine and it backed down. The Doctor was then able to reprogram the machine to attack and destroy WOTAN, which it duly did. ([[TV]]: ''[[The War Machines (TV story)|The War Machines]]'')
=== Alone again ===
[[File:The Meeting.jpg|thumb|right|The Doctor drinks [[Médoc]] in the ''[[Auberge du Pont Romain]]'' ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Meeting (short story)|The Meeting]]'')]]
The Doctor met [[Winston Churchill]] in [[1911]] when he stepped out of the TARDIS. The Doctor told Churchill it was an honour to meet him, but was informed that they had met before, with the Doctor chuckling about this being "the trouble with time travel". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Lost Diaries of Winston Spencer Churchill (short story)|The Lost Diaries of Winston Spencer Churchill]]'')
While travelling alone, the Doctor was found by the [[Time Lord]]s, and placed into a "celestial retirement", during which he was scolded for meddling in history during his visit to [[Paris]] in [[August]] [[1572]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Massacre (novelisation)|The Massacre]]'') His retirement was eventually ended. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Meeting (short story)|The Meeting]]'')
While visiting [[Planet (The Glass Princess)|a planet]], the Doctor witnessed the poisoning of Princess [[Clio (The Glass Princess)|Clio]] on her fifth birthday, and had her placed in a [[stasis bed]] to keep her alive, though comatosed. Because the bed required a lot of power to activate and deactivate, it was decided to only awaken Clio briefly for her birthday each year, with the Doctor giving her a [[brooch]] as a gift. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Glass Princess (short story)|The Glass Princess]]'')
The First Doctor hosted a Christmas dinner with his seven successors. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Feast of Seven... Eight and Nine (short story)|The Feast of Seven... Eight (and Nine)]]'')
The First Doctor was taken out of time by the [[Tenth Doctor]], who brought him and the [[Second Doctor]] to the planet [[Henlen]], where their [[Third Doctor|third]], [[Fourth Doctor|fourth]], [[Fifth Doctor|fifth]], [[Sixth Doctor|sixth]], [[Seventh Doctor|seventh]] and [[eighth incarnation]]s were trying to correct the [[temporal paradox]] caused by the [[Sirens of Time]] when they sabotaged the first Gallifreyan experiment for time travel. While the others piloted the TARDIS prototype used in the experiment, the First Doctor remained with his second and tenth incarnations to make sure the backlash from their operation did not aggravate things. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Collision Course (audio story)|Collision Course]]'')
The Doctor shared a couple of glasses of [[Medoc]] with [[John Lucarotti]] at the ''[[Auberge du Pont Romain]]'', and suggested that Lucarotti take a vacation to [[Samarkand]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Meeting (short story)|The Meeting]]'')
[[File:Barbara in Wonderland.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor serves Barbara some tea. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Barbara in Wonderland (short story)|Barbara in Wonderland]]'')]]
The Doctor visited the [[BBC Television Centre]] to have tea with [[Black Dalek (Barbara in Wonderland)|a Black Dalek]] and [[Silver Dalek (Barbara in Wonderland)|a Silver Dalek]]. En route to the [[canteen]], he found [[Barbara (Barbara in Wonderland)|Barbara]] lost and hungry and invited her to join his tea party, though she left quickly upon realising she was running late. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Barbara in Wonderland (short story)|Barbara in Wonderland]]'')
[[File:Black Pig (Pugwash Ahoy!).jpg|thumb|The Doctor stands aboard the ''[[Black Pig]]''. ([[NOTVALID]]: ''[[Pugwash Ahoy! (comic story)|Pugwash Ahoy!]]'')]]
Accompanied by [[Zarbi (Pugwash Ahoy!)|a Zarbi]] and [[Dalek (Pugwash Ahoy!)|a Dalek]], the Doctor landed onboard the ''[[Black Pig]]'', where the crew held him and his companions at gun point. The ship's captain, [[Pugwash (Pugwash Ahoy!)|Pugwash]], after consulting his ''[[Who's Who]]'' book, eventually told the Doctor he had arrived "in the wrong place… the wrong [[century]]… and on the wrong page of ''[[Radio Times (magazine)|Radio Times]]''!" ([[NOTVALID]]: ''[[Pugwash Ahoy! (comic story)|Pugwash Ahoy!]]'')

[[File:Doctor departing Ben Polly.jpg|left|thumb|The Doctor with Ben and Polly. ([[TV]]: ''[[The War Machines (TV story)|The War Machines]]'')]]
After he inadvertently picked up [[Polly Wright]] and [[Ben Jackson]] as companions when they entered the TARDIS as it took off, ([[TV]]: ''[[The War Machines (TV story)|The War Machines]]'') the Doctor and his new friends got caught up with a band of smugglers led by Captain [[Samuel Pike]] as he searched for a lost treasure. Although the Doctor was forced to help Pike trace a series of clues to the location of the treasure in a local graveyard, the smugglers were eventually captured by the local revenue men and Pike was killed.
After they left in the TARDIS, the Doctor assumed that they had landed "at the coldest place on Earth", ([[TV]]: ''[[The Smugglers (TV story)|The Smugglers]]'') but it was soon revealed that they had actually landed in [[Lewes]] in the 1950s, where they became caught up in a series of local riots. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Bonfires of the Vanities (audio story)|The Bonfires of the Vanities]]'') When Ben and Polly first went exploring in the TARDIS, the Doctor found himself coming to their rescue when they got lost. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Something at the Door (short story)|Something at the Door]]'')
The Doctor, Ben and Polly arrived in [[New York City]] in the [[1890s]] where four [[Ovid]]s had become trapped. Their presence caused people's dreams and nightmares to manifest in reality. The time travellers were able to free the Ovids with the assistance of [[Harry Houdini]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Smoke and Mirrors (audio story)|Smoke and Mirrors]]'') They also visited an uninhabited planet, where the Doctor collected some plants and rocks. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Tenth Planet (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the Tenth Planet]]'')
Attempting to take Ben and Polly to the coronation of [[Queen]] [[Victoria]], the Doctor landed on [[Mars]] instead. They set up a camp and a tent and began roasting [[marshmallow]]s. However, a fault with the TARDIS forced them to leave in a hurry before the time machine took off without them. The tent and the Doctor's pipe were among the items left behind. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Please Shut the Gate (short story)|Please Shut the Gate]]'')
While his companions were sleeping in the TARDIS, the Doctor met Professor [[Salyavin|Chronotis]] at [[Cambridge University]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cambridge Previsited (short story)|Cambridge Previsited]]'')
While Ben and Polly were visiting an old friend, the Doctor was gifted a golden bow by the Emperor of [[Gallutia]] for convincing his enemies into a surrender. Travelling to medieval England to have some archery practice, the Doctor saved Lady [[Mary (Five Card Draw)|Mary]] from bandits and brought her into the TARDIS, but was prevented from entering himself by knights in armour, who mistook him for a kidnapper and a wizard. Afraid of his powers, the knights tried to kill the Doctor, but he escaped to a castle and locked himself inside as the knights and their reinforcements arrived. With his arm injured, the Doctor summoned his [[Second Doctor|second]], [[Third Doctor|third]], [[Fifth Doctor|fifth]] and [[sixth incarnation]]s to rescue him. After the Fifth Doctor lost the game that chose who would face the knights, he explained the situation to them and the Doctors were permitted to leave when he also gave them the golden bow as a peace offering. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Five Card Draw (short story)|Five Card Draw]]'')
During a confrontation with the [[Schirr]] terrorists known as the [[Ten-Strong]], the Doctor put himself under great strain to hold back a paralysing pulse capable of immobilising eight people with his own mind. He was able to disrupt the cyber-telepathic link the Ten-Strong were trying to use by making contact with the consciousness of [[Shel]], an android who had been physically destroyed earlier but whose consciousness remained active in the network. As he and his companions departed, the Doctor began to reflect that he would soon feel a whole new person. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Ten Little Aliens (novel)|Ten Little Aliens]]'')
The TARDIS was involved in an accident which knocked out the Doctor and injured Polly. His injuries were severe according to [[Continuity (The Crumbling Magician)|Continuity]]. Continuity later swapped the Doctor's mind into Polly's as part of the "cure". The Doctor learnt that the computer was maliciously killing every patient as it thought they were damaging the universe. He realised that the time skips where caused by the destruction of the hospital and made it happen as it was predetermined to do. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Crumbling Magician (audio story)|The Crumbling Magician]]'')
=== Final adventures ===
While dealing with a telepathic plague in the 16th century, the Doctor and his companions were assisted in curing the plague by another [[Time Lord]], [[The Player (The Plague of Dreams)|the Player]]. Once the initial virus had been dealt with, the Doctor had Polly confront the Player about his presence, and the Player explained that "[[Dalek|a force from the future]]" had been interfering with the Doctor's timeline to prevent his regeneration into [[War Doctor|an incarnation]] that would be needed in "[[Last Great Time War|a great conflict]]". Although the Player revealed that the Doctor would not become this incarnation for some time, the Doctor accepted the need to fulfil his destiny and go to the South Pole so that history could unfold as it should. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Plague of Dreams (audio story)|The Plague of Dreams]]'')
Suffering from nightmares about [[The Doctor's father|his father]], the Doctor awoke to find the TARDIS had been drawn to [[Gallifrey]] on the night he absconded with Susan. Roaming the deserted mountains, he encountered his old mentor, [[the Hermit]], and was offered a chance to return to his life on Gallifrey before his departure, which would rewrite his own past and erasing his travels in time and space. Resisting temptation, the Doctor ran from Gallifrey once again, aware that his next destination would be his last. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Three Paths (short story)|The Three Paths]]'')
After Ben and Polly awoke, the TARDIS fell out of the vortex, caught in the descent of an [[Angel (mythology)|Angel]] falling through [[reality]]. Landing on an [[Planet (Falling)|unnamed planet]], the Doctor, Ben, and Polly spoke to the Angel, who told them all beings were always falling and to let go. When the Angel faded away, the time travellers departed. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Falling (audio story)|Falling]]'')
=== Last stand at Snowcap base ===
[[File:Tenth Planet 1 001.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor at [[Snowcap]] base. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Tenth Planet (TV story)|The Tenth Planet]]'')]]
The Doctor, Ben and Polly arrived at the [[Snowcap]] base in [[1986]] [[Antarctica]], where they were treated with hostility by General [[Cutler (The Tenth Planet)|Cutler]]. When the pilots of ''[[Zeus IV]]'' discovered a new planet between Mars and Venus, the Doctor, having predicted this, tried to convince the crew that Earth had a twin planet millions of years ago called [[Mondas]], but Cutler refused to listen and sent his men to claim the TARDIS. However, the station came under attack from the [[Cyberman|Cybermen]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Tenth Planet (TV story)|The Tenth Planet]]'') Knowing the [[Cyberman invasion of Earth (The Tenth Planet)|Cyberman invasion]] would ultimately be resolved through his reading of historical accounts, the Doctor was content to be an observer, though remained ready to intervene should the situation call for it. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (novelisation)|Twice Upon a Time]]'') However, he collapsed when Mondas began draining Earth's energies, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Tenth Planet (TV story)|The Tenth Planet]]'') due to his regeneration process starting, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Interference - Book Two (novel)|Interference - Book Two]]'') and Mondas syphoning off his ability to resist regenerating any longer. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (novelisation)|Twice Upon a Time]]'')
While unconscious during the crisis at Snowcap base, the Doctor was contacted by Steven and arrived to help stop the [[Vardan woman]] from [[Grace Alone]] getting revenge on him and Steven. The Doctor tried to contain the Vardan woman, but she escaped, only to be foiled by Steven's granddaughter, [[Sida]], using the [[First Doctor (mind copy)|copy of the Doctor]]. Steven then sent the Doctor back to his body on Earth in order for him to get back to the TARDIS, sending the copy along with the Doctor to improve his chances of surviving the trip. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Locked Room (audio story)|The Locked Room]]'')
[[File:It's Far From Being All Over.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor begins his [[regeneration]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Tenth Planet (TV story)|The Tenth Planet]]'')]]
Having found [[State of grace|a second wind]], the Doctor confronted the Cybermen when they intended to take humanity to Mondas to turn them into their kind, but his attempt at negotiation resulted in him and Polly being taken hostage aboard the [[Cyber-ship]]. Held prisoner, the Doctor comforted Polly while Ben helped delay the Cyberman until Mondas was destroyed by overloading on Earth's energies. While emerging from his sleep, the Doctor overheard Ben claim that it was "all over now," and became weary. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Tenth Planet (TV story)|The Tenth Planet]]'') Having started his first regeneration, ([[TV]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'') the Doctor left without Ben or Polly. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Tenth Planet (TV story)|The Tenth Planet]]'')
[[File:The Doctor Falls First Doctor.jpg|thumb|The Doctor meets [[Twelfth Doctor|a mysterious figure]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor Falls (TV story)|The Doctor Falls]]'')]]
Walking in the snow, the Doctor caught a fading image of [[Oliver Harper]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The First Wave (audio story)|The First Wave]]'') as he insisted to himself that he would not change and that the entire idea was "ridiculous." He was soon called out by a kneeling figure, who claimed to be "[[Twelfth Doctor|the Doctor]]". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor Falls (TV story)|The Doctor Falls]]'') However, the Doctor, believing the TARDIS before him to be his own, instead thought that the man was another [[Time Lord]] come to reclaim it, only for time to freeze around them, and a [[World War I]] [[Archibald Hamish Lethbridge-Stewart|Captain]] to appear. Taking the Captain into the TARDIS to protect him from his pursuers, the Doctor saw that it was from his future and convinced of the Twelfth Doctor's identity, shortly before the TARDIS was pulled into a hovering spaceship. Sent out as a distraction, the Doctor was addressed as "the Doctor of War" by a [[glass avatar]] of the [[Testimony Foundation]], who offered to trade the Captain for the Twelfth Doctor's deceased companion, [[Bill Potts]]. Now joined by his future self, the Doctor examined the interior of the spaceship, and realised that the glass avatar was based off of a real person due to being too asymmetrical. Managing to escape as the Twelfth Doctor's TARDIS was taken by the Testimony, the two Doctors, the Captain and Bill retreated to the First Doctor's TARDIS, where the Twelfth Doctor decided to visit "[[Rusty (Into the Dalek)|an old friend]]" to figure out what the Testimony was.
[[File:Whats browser history.jpg|thumb|left|The First Doctor is confused by his [[Twelfth Doctor|future self's]] fascination in him wearing the [[sonic sunglasses]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'')]]
Arriving at [[Villengard]], the Captain was attacked by [[Dalek mutant|a familiar creature]], and left inside the TARDIS with Bill as the two Doctors journeyed towards a tower, briefly stopping to discuss their shared refusal to regenerate. When the Twelfth Doctor entered the tower alone, the First Doctor examined the wreckage and found the remnants of [[Dalek]] shells as he was joined by Bill, who revealed herself to be a glass avatar. Despite the initial shock of there being "a spy in the camp", the First Doctor was told the true purpose of Testimony and its benevolent agenda, just as the Twelfth Doctor learned the same from the Dalek [[Pathweb]]. When the Doctors agreed that the Captain had to die at his allotted point in time, the Twelfth Doctor requested, much to the First Doctor's surprise, that they take him back, which was allowed by the Testimony.
[[File:First Doctor Accepts Fate.jpg|thumb|right|The First Doctor accepts his [[regeneration|fate]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'')]]
Returning the Captain to [[1914]], the Doctor expressed his regret that "the universe generally fail[ed] to be a Fairytale," and promised to "make it [his] business" to look in on the Captain's family, the [[Lethbridge-Stewart family|Lethbridge-Stewarts]], as a favour. Hidden by a [[perception filter]], the two Doctors watched as the Captain, now with no memory of having ever met them, prepared to meet his fate. Suddenly, Christmas carolling started up on both sides of the battlefield, and the Twelfth Doctor explained that he had adjusted the time frame by a couple of hours so that when time resumed for the Captain and [[German soldier (Twice Upon a Time)|his opponent]], it would be the beginning of the [[Christmas truce|Christmas Armistice]]. As the Twelfth Doctor explained the Armistice to the First Doctor, the Captain called for aid for his wounded opponent and the First Doctor realised that his future self maneuverered events to save both men's lives, and that that was "what it [meant] to be a Doctor of War." After watching the Armistice for a few hours, the First Doctor admitted that he felt ready to regenerate, but questioned his future self on his decision, with the Twelfth Doctor only answering that the First Doctor would have to find out "the long way round" before the First Doctor departed to his TARDIS. ([[TV]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'')
==== Death ====
[[File:First Doctor regenrates.jpg|thumb|The Doctor [[regeneration|regenerates]] for the first time. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Tenth Planet (TV story)|The Tenth Planet]]'')]]
Now inside the TARDIS and glowing with more regeneration energy, the Doctor managed to set the coordinates to return it to Antarctica in 1986 ([[TV]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'') using the [[fast return switch]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (novelisation)|Twice Upon a Time]]'') As the TARDIS' controls continued to operate on their own, the Doctor opened the doors for Ben and Polly before collapsing unconscious to the floor, having lost the energy needed to keep his old body going. Before the astonished eyes of his friends, [[First Doctor's renewal|the Doctor transformed]] into [[Second Doctor|a much younger man]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Tenth Planet (TV story)|The Tenth Planet]]'') at the [[The Doctor's age|age]] of 450-years-old. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Iceberg (novel)|Iceberg]]'')

[[File:First in the Second's reflection.jpg|thumb|The Doctor appears in [[Second Doctor|his successor]]'s reflection. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Power of the Daleks]]'')]]
Because of a trick in his [[Gallifreyan]] optics, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Power of the Daleks (audio story)|The Power of the Daleks]]'') the [[Second Doctor]] saw his first incarnation in his reflection while still adjusting to his new body after his first regeneration. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Power of the Daleks (TV story)|The Power of the Daleks]]'')
When under attack by a [[space amoeba]], the [[Fourth Doctor]] briefly turned back into his first incarnation. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Timeslip (comic story)|Timeslip]]'')
In a dream, the Fourth Doctor encountered the First Doctor in a heavenly garden also occupied by his other previous incarnations, which made him aware that his own regeneration was on the horizon. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Into the Silent Land (short story)|Into the Silent Land]]'')
When trapped in a dimensionally-unstable pocket universe controlled by [[Iam]] and {{O'Mara}}, the [[Sixth Doctor]]'s morphic print was destabilised, causing him to unwillingly regress back through his previous incarnations as his body sought a stable morphic print. He eventually "settled" into his first body, which remained stable long enough for him to return to the TARDIS and return to his current self. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[State of Change (novel)|State of Change]]'')
In a bid to detach the [[Funhouse]] from [[the TARDIS]] in the [[time vortex]], the Sixth Doctor binded the switch that protected the TARDIS' passengers from the changing time fields outside with a string, allowing him to pull it remotely from the limited protection of the [[Zero Room]]. As a result, the Doctor immediately began to regress back through his first five incarnations as he made his way back to the [[console room]] where, as the First Doctor, he flipped the switch back, restoring himself while trapping the Funhouse in the vortex. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Funhouse (comic story)|Funhouse]]'')
When the [[Timewyrm]] sent [[Ace]] into the [[Seventh Doctor]]'s mind, she encountered the First Doctor as an elderly librarian. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Revelation (novel)|Timewyrm: Revelation]]'')
During the [[Last Great Time War]], the Doctor was affected by a [[retro-regeneration|degeneration]] weapon and began rapidly degenerating through his past incarnations, including the First Doctor, who attempted to resist the process, but was unable to stop himself changing again. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Past Lives (audio story)|Past Lives]]'') The Doctor turned back into his first incarnation again shortly after being captured by the [[Time Lord]]s, only to change again soon afterwards. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[A Genius for War (audio story)|A Genius for War]]'') The Doctor had become the First Doctor again by the time he landed at [[Planetoid 50 (The Martian Invasion of Planetoid 50)|Planetoid 50]], which he was confused to discover appeared to be Victorian London under the occupation of Martians. As he investigated, he was struck by a beam engineered by [[Missy]] to help stabilise him, causing him to degenerate into the [[Tenth Doctor]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Martian Invasion of Planetoid 50 (audio story)|The Martian Invasion of Planetoid 50]]'')
[[File:The Doctor's ten incarnations appear together.jpg|thumb|The First 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 First 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, including the First Doctor, were created instead. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Breakfast at Tyranny's (comic story)|Breakfast at Tyranny's]]'')
After the Eleventh Doctor was accused of committing deadly crimes against the [[Overcast]], he brooded in the TARDIS for two days, imagining all his previous numbered incarnations, including the First 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 entered into the [[T'keyn Nexus]] in order to defend himself, Matrix projections of his previous incarnations, including the First Doctor, appeared inside it to defend themselves as well. Standing with his latest incarnation, the First Doctor debunked [[Es'Cartrss|auditor Sondrah]]'s accusations of him being a pestilence on the Earth. 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]]'')
When [[Clara Oswald]] entered the Doctor's [[time stream]], she saw the First Doctor walk past her when the Eleventh Doctor claimed that "everything around [her] was [him]". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Name of the Doctor (TV story)|The Name of the Doctor]]'')
[[File:Day of the Doctor end scene.jpg|thumb|The First Doctor appears in the [[Eleventh Doctor]]'s dream. ([[TV]]: ''[[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 incarnations, including the First 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 First Doctor, who appeared in the form of "a frail young boy." ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Lost Magic (audio story)|The Lost Magic]]'')
[[File: Guardian of the Edge 1.jpg|thumb|left|The First Doctor manifests among the [[Guardians of the Edge]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Power of the Doctor (TV story)|The Power of the Doctor]]'')]]
When the [[Spy Master]] forced the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] to regenerate so he could use the regeneration to overtake her body and become the Doctor himself, she was greeted by the First Doctor at [[The Edge (The Power of the Doctor)|the Edge]] within her mind that represented her moving on from her [[time stream]]. He and the other "[[Guardians of the Edge]]" that manifested urged the Thirteenth Doctor to resist the Master's attempt to take possession of her [[body]] and [[The Doctor (title)|identity]] until the her contingency plan allowed her to undergo a [[retro-regeneration]] and return from the Master's hijacking. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Power of the Doctor (TV story)|The Power of the Doctor]]'')

== Mysteries and discrepancies ==
* When he, Ian, Barbara and Vicki were being chased by the Daleks through time in [[TV]]: ''[[The Chase (TV story)|The Chase]]'', the Doctor claimed to have built his TARDIS, contrasting later accounts that showed him having stolen the ship from a workshop, as well as a statement from [[TV]]: ''[[The Impossible Planet (TV story)|The Impossible Planet]]'' that described TARDISes as being "grown" rather than built. [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Taking of Planet 5 (novel)|The Taking of Planet 5]]'' would try to rectify the statement by explaining that the Doctor had added various components to the TARDIS console to prevent himself forming a complete mental link to the ship that would have made it easier for the Time Lords to find him.
* The matter of [[the Doctor's age]] and how long he lived in his first incarnation is unclear, the Second Doctor stated that he was around 450-years-old in [[TV]]: ''[[The Tomb of the Cybermen (TV story)|The Tomb of the Cybermen]]''. In [[AUDIO]]: ''[[Here There Be Monsters (audio story)|Here There Be Monsters]]'', Susan compares him to an adolescent by Time Lord standards.

[[File:The Doctor in The Army Game?!.jpg|thumb|The First Doctor in costume for ''[[The Army Game]]''. ([[NOTVALID]]: ''[[TARDIS Stolen! (short story)|TARDIS Stolen!]]'')]]
On top of a few "serious" stories about [[the Doctor]], such as the comic stories ''[[The Test of Time (comic story)|The Test of Time]]'', the [[1987]] ''[[The Doctor Who Fun Book|Doctor Who Fun Book]]'' also contained a number of media not considered valid by this Wiki, either because of their format or of their parodical nature. The First Doctor was featured in [[Untitled 4 (The Doctor Who Fun Book comic story)|one of the parodical comics]], where he was shown having a picnic on [[Vortis]] with Ian, Susan and Barbara, only for the classic "ants at the picnic" problem to rear its gigantic head in the form of the [[Zarbi]].
More interestingly, a rare glimpse into the Doctor's life on [[Gallifrey]] is provided by the short story [[NOTVALID]]: ''[[TARDIS Stolen! (short story)|TARDIS Stolen!]]'', where, following the Doctor's theft of the TARDIS, the ''[[Gallifrey Gazette]]'' investigates his background. The Doctor is stated to have graduated in [[Music and Performing Arts]] from [[Time Lord Academy|the Academy]], even starring in an Academy performance of ''[[The Army Game]]'', and to be currently going by the alias of "Doctor Wat Who" on Gallifrey; other aliases past and future of the Doctor are mentioned as "Doctor Spock, Mister Mann and Terry McNation". He is described as "a young man in his early centuries", with [[Susan Foreman]] stated to be 98-years-old.

[[William Hartnell]] had, up until that point, mainly played small-time thugs and other unsympathetic parts in crime films and humourless military men in comedies. [[Producer]] [[Verity Lambert]] was inspired to ask him to accept the role after seeing him in his well-known role in ''[[This Sporting Life]]'', which convinced her that he could play a tough, yet shaded and sympathetic character.
=== Other actors in the role ===
During the First Doctor's tenure, other actors occasionally stood in for Hartnell, either for demanding scenes or due to Hartnell being ill or otherwise unavailable, such as [[Albert Ward]], who served as a hand double for Hartnell during ''[[The Romans (TV story)|The Romans]]'', ([[DWM 251]]) ''[[The Celestial Toymaker (TV story)|The Celestial Toymaker]]'', ([[DWM 196]]) and ''[[The Smugglers (TV story)|The Smugglers]]''. ([[DWM 321]])
[[Brian Proudfoot]] stood in for Hartnell during location filming of the Doctor roaming the French countryside on foot in long shots for ''[[The Reign of Terror (TV story)|The Reign of Terror]]'', being photographed from the back. ([[DWM 204]]) He later doubled for Hartnell again during ''[[The Space Museum (TV story)|The Space Museum]]''. ([[DWM 316]])
[[Edmund Warwick]] stood in for Hartnell in the third episode of ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth (TV story)|The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]'' after Hartnell suffered an on-set injury. ([[DWM 280]]) Warwick later played the Doctor in some scenes of ''[[The Chase (TV story)|The Chase]]'' when Hartnell was playing the [[Robot Doctor]].
[[Gordon Craig]] doubled for Hartnell during ''[[The Smugglers (TV story)|The Smugglers]]'', ([[DWM 321]]) and then again during ''[[The Tenth Planet (TV story)|The Tenth Planet]]'', first acting as a body double during the snowstorm scenes in the first episode, and then replacing Hartnell for all of the third episode after he was taken ill. ([[DWM 214]])
When the time came for the First Doctor to appear in the 1983 Children in Need anniversary special [[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'', actor [[Richard Hurndall]] was hired to play the role, standing in for William Hartnell, who had died in the mid-1970s. A clip of Hartnell as the Doctor from ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth (TV story)|The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]'' preceded the opening titles, and Hartnell's name appeared amongst those of his fellow Doctors in the end credits.
During the 50th anniversary year in 2013, Hartnell appeared in [[TV]]: ''[[The Name of the Doctor (TV story)|The Name of the Doctor]]'' by way of manipulated stock footage and audio, allowing the actor to posthumously share dialogue with a [[Clara Oswald splinter]] on Gallifrey. Later in the same episode, the First Doctor is seen walking past the real Clara within [[the Doctor's time stream]], with body double [[Kevin Legg]] <ref>https://guide.doctorwhonews.net/person.php?code=8514</ref> made up to emulate the appearance of Richard Hurndall. Later in 2013, Hartnell was again represented via stock footage in [[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'', but with [[John Guilor]] providing newly recorded dialogue, and Legg once again serving as a body double. ([[DWMSE 38]])
[[David Bradley]] played Hartnell himself, playing the First Doctor, in the 2013 docu-drama ''[[An Adventure in Space and Time (TV story)|An Adventure in Space and Time]]''. In 2017, Bradley was brought to the show proper, to play the First Doctor himself at the end of [[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor Falls (TV story)|The Doctor Falls]]'' as a lead in to the 2017 Christmas special, [[TV]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]''. Bradley also voiced the First Doctor in the [[Big Finish]] audio series ''[[The First Doctor Adventures (audio series)|The First Doctor Adventures]]''.
In audio, [[William Russell]] officially voiced the First Doctor for Big Finish's ''[[The Light at the End (audio story)|The Light at the End]]'', having previously voiced him in narration form during all the ''[[The Companion Chronicles|Companion Chronicles]]'' audios that featured his own character [[Ian Chesterton|Ian]]. Russell would then reprise the role when required in ''[[The Early Adventures]]'', while [[Peter Purves]] portrays him in the audios that feature [[Steven Taylor|Steven]]. After his casting, [[Elliot Chapman]] also began playing the Doctor in narration form in audios that feature [[Ben Jackson|Ben]].

Again?The First Doctor's first word, according to one account [Human Nature (novel) [src]]
A mischievous anti-authoritarian at his core, the First Doctor matured from someone prone to criticising those he felt were primitive compared to his intellect to a more welcoming presence as he began to acquire an entourage of companions to accompany him throughout the wonders of the fourth dimension, learning to be a caregiver and mentor with compassion, warmth and wit that made up for his egocentric nature, as well a sense of justice in a universe afflicted by evils.
Beginning after he fled his home world of Gallifrey with his granddaughter Susan, the Doctor's travels through time and space were mostly random due to faulty components in a TARDIS that required six pilots and which he barely knew how to fly. After a period of hiding at 76 Totter's Lane on Earth in 1963, the Doctor was forced to abruptly depart when Susan's teachers from Coal Hill School, Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright, followed her back to Totter's Lane to investigate their unusual pupil, kidnapping them to stop them alerting others to his presence. However, despite the hostile start, he came to form a strong friendship with Ian and Barbara, teaching them about the wonders of the universe while learning how to better himself from their example. It was during one of their early adventures that the Doctor first came into conflict with the Daleks, a species that would quickly become one of his greatest enemies.
Eventually, the Doctor bade Susan farewell to allow her to live a happier life with a man with whom she had fallen in love with, and then invited an orphaned girl named Vicki to join him, Ian and Barbara in the TARDIS after they found her on the planet Dido, seeing her a surrogate to fill Susan's spot in his travels. During a confrontation with the Daleks, the Doctor used one of the Dalek time machines to return Ian and Barbara to their proper time, only to quickly find their place in the TARDIS taken by stowaway Steven Taylor, with whom the Doctor had a relatively uneasy relationship.
Vicki eventually left the Doctor's company after falling in love with a man she met in Ancient Troy, with her place in the TARDIS being occupied by handmaidKatarina, though her travels proved brief due to her being killed early in the Time Destructor Incident that saw the Doctor stopping the Daleks' master plan to use a Time Destructor to conqueror Earth's solar system, though his victory came at the cost of Sara Kingdom, another of his brief companions. Steven was bitter towards the Doctor for the deaths of Katarina and Sara, and even briefly walked out the TARDIS after another falling out, but returned when Dodo Chaplet forced her way in the TARDIS. Ultimately, Steven decided to stay to help a civilisation they had encountered, while Dodo was later injured in an adventure and decided to remain home in her own time, with the Doctor finding himself inadvertently joined by Ben Jackson and Polly Wright when the TARDIS dematerlised with them still inside.
The First Doctor met his end after his battle with the Mondasian Cybermen in 1986Antarctica caused him to lose the strength needed to maintain his body, due to the planet Mondas draining a large portion of his life force. Initially, he refused to go through with the change until an encounter with a future incarnation also refusing to regenerate caused the Doctor to witness the type of person he would soon become. As a result, his fear of the change was turned to reassurance for his future, causing him to accept his regeneration into his next body.
In his older years, the First Doctor was a guarded figure who was slow to trust newcomers who learnt of him, (TV: An Unearthly Child, The Edge of Destruction) but once his trust had been earned, he would show himself to be a mischievous anti-authoritarian, (TV: The Space Museum, The Savages) who would not follow instructions without giving his own input, (TV: An Unearthly Child) nor would he stand by and allow someone to bark orders without contributing themselves. (TV: The Reign of Terror) He was protective of the young women he took on as companions, as they reminded him of his granddaughter. (TV: The Massacre)
The First Doctor was a pragmatic individual, opting to focus on an objective that would benefit the majority, even if it meant being counterintuitive to his own safety and freedom, (TV: An Unearthly Child, The Reign of Terror, The Web Planet, The Tenth Planet) and was not afraid to leave someone to their fate if it was too late to save them, (TV: The Chase) or if they were fated to die. (TV: The Massacre) He preferred to remain in the background and "observe, note, collate, and then conclude" before he acted. (TV: Galaxy 4)
Disdainful towards "fools", (TV: The Crusade) and rather "tetchy" due to his youth, (TV: The Five Doctors) the Doctor thought highly of his "superior brain", (TV: The Daleks) and was prone to criticise those whom he felt were beneath his intellect, (TV: An Unearthly Child, Marco Polo, The Crusade) even believing himself superior to those he saw as intellectually inferior. (COMIC: A Religious Experience) He initially refused to kneel to Kublai Khan due to both his pride and a pain in his back, but was talked into do so by Susan, though he remained defiant towards the Great Khan's demands, which earned him the respect of the Khan. He did, however, respectfully bow to the Empress. (TV: Marco Polo) He could put his own interests ahead of others', but would abandon his plans if he realised they were putting him in danger. (TV: The Daleks)
Originally a very difficult and stubborn misanthrope, (TV: An Unearthly Child) who would leave others to their own business in spite of the dangers they were in, (TV: The Daleks, The Sensorites) the First Doctor matured from an apparent selfishness and became more inviting, (TV: The Rescue, The Time Meddler, The Myth Makers, The Massacre, The Smugglers) less willing to involve others in his dangerous exploits, (TV: The Chase) and more friendly and approaching to new people. (TV: The Gunfighters) His happier, kinder characteristics fostered when he began to acquire an entourage of companions to accompany him throughout the wonders of the fourth dimension and learned to be a caregiver with a sense of justice in a universe afflicted by evils. (COMIC: Hunters of the Burning Stone) However, his ego persisted, with him telling white lies to inflate his own self-importance, (PROSE: Twice Upon a Time) and his false modesty at being heralded by the Thals when he visited their city. (AUDIO: Return to Skaro)
In his youth, the young Doctor was something of a pessimist, until a conversation with the Hermit opened his eyes to the beauties in the mundane, (TV: The Time Monster) leading him to believe that it was impossible to "diminish wonder, beauty and discovery," even when people tried to take the mystery out of things. (PROSE: Longest Day) He never felt at home on Gallifrey. (AUDIO: No Place Like Home) Upon leaving Gallifrey, the Doctor did not see "good" as "a practical survival strategy", as "it require[d] loyalty, self-sacrifice, [and] love", (TV: Twice Upon a Time) but told Susan that "individuals hungry for power" were to be fought, and that "the right thing to do was often forbidden". (COMIC: Time & Time Again)
During his early travels, the Doctor rarely smiled, (PROSE: Dr. First) although, when he first witnessed the French Revolution, his emotions were swept up in the revolutionary fervour and optimism as the French population around him rose up against their rulers. (PROSE: Just War) However, he remained satisfied with merely observing the universe due to having the non-interference policy ingrained into his psyche. (PROSE: Time and Relative) While he felt he had a duty to prevent outside intervention from corrupting a society, (COMIC: Operation Proteus) he was willing to allow civilisations to be destroyed without aiding them, until Susan convinced him to save Earth from the Cold, which did gave him "a feeling of satisfaction". (PROSE: Time and Relative) Despite this, the Doctor was mostly self-serving, even locking fleeing people out of Coal Hill School to better protect himself from the Space wolves. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Horror of Coal Hill) However, he still respected humanity as "intelligent, sentient beings" that were deserving of basic respects. (COMIC: Operation Proteus)
When the Doctor first met Ian and Barbara, he abducted them, and even set the TARDIS console to shock Ian when he tried to open the doors, justifying his actions by claiming he was keeping himself and Susan safe. He regarded humans as primitives, and contemplated killing the mortally wounded Za so that he would not slow him down. When Ian caught him apparently ready to bludgeon the man with a rock, the Doctor explained he merely wanted Za to draw him a map, (TV: An Unearthly Child) but this was, in fact, a lie to cover up his murder attempt. (PROSE: The Eight Doctors) When first visiting Skaro, the Doctor was willing to risk everyone's safety so he could satisfy his own curiosity, resulting in them nearly dying from radiation poisoning in the prison cells of the Dalek city. (TV: The Daleks) He also threatened to throw Ian and Barbara into space after accusing them of sabotage. When proven wrong, the Doctor humbly apologised. (TV: The Edge of Destruction)
He was willingly to put his morals aside to have others fight his battles for him, but was horrified when he learnt the full extent of the Daleks plans to exterminate the Thals, branding it "sheer murder". (TV: The Daleks) He was also quick to bargain with the Tribe of Gum for Ian's safety, (TV: An Unearthly Child) and offered to help build a ship for the Daleks to leave Skaro in return for Susan's safety. (TV: The Daleks) The Twelfth Doctor later opined that his experience on Skaro helped shape his identity for the better. (TV: Into the Dalek)
As the Doctor travelled more, he began to thaw and help people, albeit reluctantly at times, (TV: The Keys of Marinus) and more willingly on other occasions. (TV: The Reign of Terror) Eventually, he would not hesitate to dare to stop any "menace to common humanity" that he encountered in his travels, sometimes out of a "moral obligation" to minimise damages he felt responsible for. (TV: Planet of Giants, The Dalek Invasion of Earth, The Daleks' Master Plan, The Savages, The Smugglers) However, he did not see himself as a saviour, instead as someone merely "doing what [had] to be done". (TV: The Daleks' Master Plan) Indeed, when the Doctor heard his twelfth incarnation declare the Earth to be protected, he failed to realise that his future self was referring to himself as the protector due to being in the "early days". (TV: Twice Upon a Time)
While he initially refused to help a fallen enemy, (TV: An Unearthly Child) and would not hesitate to abandon someone to save himself, (TV: The Daleks) the Doctor came to see it as "monstrous" and "inhuman" to leave a person to die by refusing them aid. (TV: The Sensorites, The Savages, The Tenth Planet) He even negotiated the release of the First Monk from the Daleks, despite peace not being brokered between the two. (TV: The Daleks' Master Plan)
He would sometimes fall back into old habits of focusing solely on his own interests, but was quicker to put his companions' safety first than he was before. (TV: Marco Polo) He would also forget his niceties when under pressure. (TV: The Aztecs, Planet of Giants, The Chase) While he claimed to never give advice, (TV: The Daleks) the Doctor would share his wisdoms to those that needed it, (TV: The Keys of Marinus) seeing that it was his responsibility as an elder to use his accumulated knowledge to help other people. (TV: The Sensorites) He came to hold such a welcoming presence that others would instantly feel they could trust him. (TV: The Rescue, The Crusade)
Craving the adventures to be found in the universe, (TV: The Reign of Terror) the Doctor did not like the idea of staying still, believing he would be "bored to tears doing nothing", (TV: The Aztecs) even deriding sleep as being "[for] tortoises". (COMIC: In-Between Times) The French Revolution was among his favourite places in time and space. (TV: The Reign of Terror) He enjoyed learning of the new places he found himself and their properties, with his notebook being of high importance to him due to what he had documented inside of it. (TV: An Unearthly Child) When he was given the chance to obtain what he desired most, the Doctor asked for "a well-equipped laboratory with every conceivable instrument", (TV: The Keys of Marinus) and he would also seek out other scientists to discuss their theories when the chance presented itself. (TV: The Massacre)
He could get excited by frightening experiences, such as being insistent on exploring an abandoned city, (TV: The Daleks) erupting into uncontrollable giggles when told Marco Polo would take his TARDIS as a gift for Kublai Khan, (TV: Marco Polo) chuckling at the thought of an ambush as he and Ian pursued a person in a dark tunnel, (TV: The Sensorites) laughing as he fought off the assassin Ascaris, and finding amusement after he realised he accidentally had a hand in burning down Rome. (TV: The Romans)
He admired those who built and rebuilt civilisations, (TV: The Daleks) and got especially giddy when he realised he was watching a solar system being created. (TV: The Edge of Destruction) While he disagreed with the Aztecs using human sacrifices, he did admire them for their architectural achievements, (TV: The Aztecs) and also held a passion for fifth dynasty Aquilian architecture. (PROSE: The Golden Door) However, he took contradictory satisfaction in destroying something that helped in "evil". (TV: The Savages)
While he could be pessimistic, (TV: An Unearthly Child) the Doctor believed that there was a reason for everything in the universe, (TV: The Chase) having left Gallifrey to find what "[kept] the balance between good and evil in [the] appalling universe", and why "good prevail[ed]" despite not being "a practical survival strategy" in the face of "evil". (TV: Twice Upon a Time) He believed that evil "[didn't] follow principle", and that "the greatest evil [was] inaction", with rules "just [being] distractions". He thought that the best way to combat evils was with kindness and understanding. (POEM: A Simple Truth) He thought that the smallest and most seemingly unimportant of details could lead to the "greatest discoveries". (TV: The Space Museum)
While he could disagree with the culture of the civilisations he visited, the Doctor did not see it as his place to judge and interfere with their business. (TV: The Aztecs) Seeing that "fear [made] companions of [everyone]", (TV: An Unearthly Child) the Doctor thought that forging alliances between factions was reward enough for his travels and efforts. (COMIC: Mission for Duh) He thought that bias based on appearance instead of intelligence was unwelcome, (TV: Galaxy 4) and defied the suggestion that progress was based on exploitation, branding it as "protracted murder". (TV: The Savages)
He decreed that one should never "be a slave to time", or waste their time. (PROSE: Barbara in Wonderland)
Seeing everyone as "adrift on a sea of random[ness]" caused from decisions taken by millions of strangers, the Doctor sought to "steer through the storm" in the "tempest of chaos" as he "resolve[d] to make good progress when the wind [was] behind [him]". (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Horror of Coal Hill)
Due to his adventures, the Doctor was unable to "feel very much fear". (PROSE: The Sons of the Crab)
Because they could be caught off-guard by the unexpected, (COMIC: The Gyros Injustice) the First Doctor looked down on machines, as, while they could make laws, he did not believe they could preserve justice, seeing only living beings capable of doing so, which was his reasoning for why "man was [not] made to be controlled by machines". (TV: The Keys of Marinus) While he was defensive towards his TARDIS's capabilities, (TV: The Daleks' Master Plan) he viewed travel dials as "perfectly acceptable method[s] of travel", as they were "very compact and very neat". (TV: The Keys of Marinus)
When it came to changing history, the Doctor knew he "[couldn't] stem the tide", instead focusing on not "being carried away with the flood", (TV: The Reign of Terror) preferring to "watch and wait" in the trust that time would sort itself out in the end. (AUDIO: Daybreak) He stood against "time meddler[s]", (TV: The Time Meddler) believing that not a single line in history should be altered, (TV: The Aztecs) even if it meant sending someone to their death in a historical event, such as when he sent Anne Chaplet back to Paris before the St Bartholomew's Day massacre, though admitted there was a possibility she would survive. (TV: The Massacre) However, he would interfere if he believed the effect to time would be minuscule, (COMIC: Unnatural Selection) such as when he tried to convince King Richard to carry out a peace plan that was fated to fail. (TV: The Crusade) After watching the Twelfth Doctor alter time slightly to save the lives of twomen, the First Doctor took his future self's meddling to be a good indicator of the man he would eventually become. (TV: Twice Upon a Time)
Comparing himself to an immigrant, (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Horror of Coal Hill) the Doctor claimed he was "a scientist of no time or place", (COMIC: The Caterpillar Men) being "a citizen of the universe, and a gentleman to boot". (TV: The Daleks' Master Plan) He once claimed to Vicki that he was "a wanderer and a survivor" in "the fourth dimension of space and time", as well as "a refugee from an ancient civilisation, cut off from [his] own people by aeons of time and universes far beyond human understanding". (PROSE: The Empire of Glass) He once described himself as having "the directional instinct of a homing pigeon". (TV: The Chase)
Reflecting on his successors, the First Doctor labelled his third and second incarnations as "a dandy and a clown", and joked when meeting them for the first time to battle Omega that they had yet to do anything. However, he did get along with them to a point, though got noticeably frustrated when the Second Doctor was slow to catch on. (TV: The Three Doctors) He also got on well with his fifth incarnation, admitting he did "quite well" after the Game of Rassilon and was reassured that his future was in "safe hands". (TV: The Five Doctors) While combating Adam Mitchell's Autons, the First Doctor associated himself with his second and seventh incarnations, combining with them to think of a solution to the situation. (COMIC: Endgame) However, he disliked his seventh incarnation, believing him to be "too manipulative". (PROSE: Five Card Draw) Upon meeting his tenth incarnation, the First Doctor took a disliking to him and his behaviour. (AUDIO: Collision Course)
The First Doctor was confused by the mannerisms of his twelfth incarnation, such as his use of the sonic sunglasses, (TV: Twice Upon a Time) and did not like him at first, leading to him making comments that he knew would wind him up, (PROSE: Twice Upon a Time) but eventually confided in him his fears of regenerating, and came to respect him after seeing him save two men from death. (TV: Twice Upon a Time)
Several of his future incarnations had a noticeably profound respect for the First Doctor, so much so that they dared not question his judgement, or argue in his presence, (TV: The Three Doctors, The Five Doctors) with the exception of the Eleventh Doctor, who looked upon his first incarnation with shame, branding him a "selfish idiot" and a coward, (COMIC: Hunters of the Burning Stone) with the Twelfth Doctor recognising that his past incarnations would let the First Doctor get away with whatever he wanted, but stated that he would not do the same, (PROSE: Twice Upon a Time) though meeting his first incarnation still made him excited. (TV: Twice Upon a Time)
The Eighth Doctor remembered the First Doctor as a "fierce old man". (PROSE: The Eight Doctors) The Twelfth Doctor considered his first incarnation to have been "eccentric, a bit mad, [and] rude to people," (TV: Hell Bent) and was rather shocked at some of his mannerisms, particularly his lack of political correctness (TV: Twice Upon a Time) that was deliberately exaggerated by the First Doctor to make his future incarnation feel uncomfortable due to his initial dislike of him. (PROSE: Twice Upon a Time)
While visiting 15th centuryTenochtitlan, the Doctor became attracted to an elderly Aztec woman named Cameca, admiring her for being "intelligent and gentle". While he was shocked to be accidently engaged to her due to misunderstanding an Aztec custom, when the time came for him to leave, he could not bring himself to depart without the brooch she had gifted to him. (TV: The Aztecs)
The First Doctor had a low opinion of the Master, dismissing him as a "charlatan" and taking great pleasure in outsmarting him. (AUDIO: The Destination Wars)
While Susan once described her grandfather as being a "great man", (AUDIO: Domain of the Voord) the Doctor considered himself to be very dangerous when roused. Geoffrey Chaucer, meanwhile, described the Doctor as being "a man of rare wit and temper, a philosopher." (AUDIO: The Doctor's Tale) Ian Chesterton once described the First Doctor as being "basically good, but bad-tempered, [and] mischievous" and also voiced that he "sometimes [didn't] trust him". (PROSE: Venusian Lullaby) Dodo Chaplet implied that she thought the First Doctor to be "condescending, arrogant, smug and irritating". (PROSE: Tarnished Image) Steven Taylor recalled the Doctor as being "a wily, old character". (TV: The Time Meddler)
Princess Joanna told the Doctor that "there [was] something new in [him], [and] yet something older than the sky itself." (TV: The Crusade) When recalling her encounter with the First Doctor to Mortimus, Ace described him as "sweet". (PROSE: No Future) When the Eighth Doctor had a tarot card reading, the First Doctor was identified as "the Hierophant". (PROSE: The City of the Dead)
As he felt his first regeneration nearing, the Doctor hoped that his successor would be a better man than he was. However, he was fearful of the regeneration, knowing that it would change him beyond recognition. (PROSE: The Man in the Velvet Mask) Though he continued to be afraid of the change, (PROSE: Ten Little Aliens) the Doctor put on a brave face to comfort Polly Wright while dying as a prisoner of the Cybermen. After Ben rescued them, the Doctor hurryingly made his way back to the TARDIS, (TV: The Tenth Planet) and became determined to fight the regeneration, branding "the whole thing" as "ridiculous". (TV: The Doctor Falls) His fear of regenerating grew during an encounter with his twelfth incarnation, where he learned he would become known as "the Doctor of War" to the Testimony, and saw recordings of the conflicts his future selves would participate in. However, after witnessing the Twelfth Doctor alter time to spare two lives on a battlefield, the First Doctor understood what he would truly become, and decided to return to the South Pole to regenerate, (TV: Twice Upon a Time) using the last of his strength to unlock the door for Ben and Polly. (TV: The Tenth Planet)
The First Doctor would frequently end his sentences with a questioning hum, something which was picked up by those that acquired elements of his personality, such as Jano (TV: The Savages) and the newly-regenerated Fifth Doctor. (TV: Castrovalva) He also made a habit of putting his fingers to his lips when thinking, an impulse that was also subconsciously adopted by Jano when he absorbed a piece of the Doctor's consciences. (TV: The Savages)
He would address young women as "child" and "young lady", and younger men as either "my boy" or "young man", or, in Ian Chesterton's case, he would address someone by their surname, although he would get Ian's surname wrong. (TV: The Daleks) He also enjoyed making puns. (TV: The Dalek Invasion of Earth, The Crusade)
As he was on the run from the Time Lords, (AUDIO: The Five Companions) the Doctor never stated the nature of his own origins, other than to hint that Susan and himself were exiled from another place and time, (TV: An Unearthly Child) and to state that he and the Monk originated on the same world. (TV: The Time Meddler)
The First Doctor was more of an intellectual incarnation, and would mostly leave the fighting to others, due to his older and frail appearance. (PROSE: The Eleventh Tiger) He was certainly a thinker, preferring to find the best way of tricking himself out of a situation to achieve victory, (TV: An Unearthly Child, The Reign of Terror, The Romans, The Crusade) with the Doctor believing that knowledge was the only way to defeat the "evil creatures" of the universe. (PROSE: Salvation) Because of this, the Elders recognised him as a man of infinite wisdom. (TV: The Savages)
Trying his best to avoid making "uninformed guesses", (TV: The Sensorites) the Doctor' broad range of knowledge allowed him to make various complex calculations from memory. (PROSE: City at World's End) He could be an effective detective when the situation called for it, (TV: The Keys of Marinus) and also see a person's true character behind their attempts to disguise it. (TV: The Massacre, The Smugglers) At the conclusion of the Game of Rassilon, it was the First Doctor who realised the meaning of the riddle in the Tower of Rassilon, with none of his future incarnations uncovering the meaning until he explained it to them. (TV: The Five Doctors)
Whilst normally peaceful, the Doctor would, when pressed, resort to hand-to-hand combat with an effectiveness which belied his age, (TV: The Romans, The Crusade, The Chase) usually relying on his intelligence to outwit his opponents and to find simple ways to deflect attacks, (PROSE: The Eleventh Tiger) and using whatever he could get his hands on as a weapon. (TV: The Rescue, The Romans) He was at least able to overpower Dako when he took him by surprise, (TV: The Space Museum) and managed to take down the First Monk after he had sufficiently intimidated him. (TV: The Daleks' Master Plan) He proved to be a capable swordsman, (TV: The Crusade) even if he had to use his cane as a makeshift blade. (TV: The Dalek Invasion of Earth, The Chase) At other times, however, the Doctor revealed age-related vulnerabilities, such as needing to catch his breath after a long period of running, (TV: An Unearthly Child) the rheumatism he suffered from that flared up if he was exposed to cold, (TV: The Space Museum) and Ian noted that the Doctor's moments of physical activity often left him more fatigued and weary than he normally was after the effort was over. (PROSE:The Eleventh Tiger)
The Doctor could diagnose atropine poisoning, and was able to quickly create an antidote when he had the right equipment, (TV: The Sensorites) and was also able to manufacture a cure to a mutation of the common cold. (TV: The Ark) He could also recognise a dislocated bone on sight, and fix it just as quickly. (TV: The Smugglers)
Though he required spectacles for reading, the Doctor's eyesight was better than a human's. (PROSE: The Plotters)
While the Doctor had virtually no control over his TARDIS, (TV: The Daleks) due in part to piloting it by himself without the needed amount of pilots, (TV: Journey's End) he was able to pilot the TARDIS to Venus circa 3000000000 BC, explaining that, as it was close to the origin of the universe, plotting coordinates was more stable, though the process was still difficult, causing the TARDIS to shake badly during the journey. (PROSE: Venusian Lullaby) After a period of time where Rassilon allowed him complete control over his TARDIS, (PROSE: The Witch Hunters) the Doctor had gained enough experience to return the TARDIS to 1986Antarctica from 1914Ypres. However, he wasn't confident in his ability to pilot it after initially taking off from Antarctica and was amazed by his future incarnation's ability to flawlessly pilot the TARDIS to Villengard. (TV: Twice Upon a Time)
He was also quick to learn new skills when required; when trapped on the planet Avalon, the Doctor spent a few days being coached in the planet's "magic" by Kilvenny Odoyle, and was then able to hold his own against the powerful magician, Gramling, in a magical duel, at one point engaging Gramling on his own after his enemy had been weakened by Odoyle and Anni Glassfeather. (PROSE: The Sorcerer's Apprentice) He had also been trained to be a ninja while on Quinnis. (PROSE: The Devil Goblins from Neptune)
The Doctor had a knack for knowing one's character and finding who to trust, (TV: "Assassin at Peking") and had the ability to sense an alien presence, getting goose bumps upon seeing the Post Office Tower and claiming that there was "something alien" about it. (TV: The War Machines)
Kitty though that the Doctor he looked like "that disc jockey", (TV: The War Machines) while Sir Charles Summer described him as "an English gentleman in his early sixties, with imperious white hair swept back from his face and reaching almost to collar length, with haughty features and piercing eyes that burned with intelligence and wit." (PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy)
When Affinity took on the First Doctor's appearance, the Twelfth Doctor noted that his first incarnation was "an elderly gentleman," with his "white hair receded from a high forehead and spilled over the collar at the back of his neck." The manifestation was dressed "in a [typically Victorian] dark jacket and checked trousers with a thin black cravat." (PROSE: Silhouette)
Making his fashion decisions with a computer to better blend in with modern society, (PROSE: A Big Hand for the Doctor) the First Doctor affected a slightly eccentric Edwardian dress sense, wearing a double breasted town coat of ebony black velvet with a shawl collar, a beige tweed waistcoat over a white shirt with a royal blue ribbon tie, grey tartan trousers, and shiny elasticated boots when he left Earth with Susan, Ian and Barbara. (TV: An Unearthly Child) On occasion, the Doctor instead wore a mustardy brown waistcoat and a cream ascot tie with ivory stripes to accompany his usual gear, (TV: The Rescue) and would replace his dark coat with a light blue blazer jacket. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Daleks)
The Presidents are categorised by in-universe chronological order. Loose chronological order applies for the lists, but when in doubt (as with the temporal uncertainty of the Time Wars), list them in the order in which they were first depicted as Presidents in the real world.
