As loud in clothing as he was in voice, the Sixth Doctor would often browbeat others into submission with his savage wit and grammarian's interest in language. Passionate, warm and virtuous, he held a thunderous and turbulent exterior that initially manifested as righteous indignation or smug self-satisfaction, but, as he acquired a larger entourage of companions, he mellowed out of his faults and became a man of genuine zest and charm.
He was profoundly difficult with his first companion, Peri Brown, even strangling her out of sheer paranoia mere hours after his regeneration. While their relationship remained vitriolic during their adventures on Telos and Varos, the Doctor's affirmation on Peri's importance to him during their battle against the First Rani and the Tremas Master at Killingworth proved that he was someone she could rely upon, even if he indulged in more extreme solutions, such as killing the Androgum Shockeye in an act of pure self-preservation. While taking some solo adventures to mellow out of his violent tendencies, the Doctor faced Davros again and also briefly reunited with Tegan Jovanka, with him and Peri later meeting H. G. Wells during an adventure on Karfel and stopping Davros' schemes at Tranquil Repose.
Further adventures to the likes of Blackpool and Magnus improved their bond to the point that Peri looked to the Doctor for strength after her mother's death, which also untethered her from Earth and allowed her to devote herself to traveling in the TARDIS. Though they were duped by temporary companion Joe Carnaby into reviving his Were Lord brethren, the pair had a better relationship with their next companion, the Whifferdill Frobisher, whom the Doctor met while Peri was staying in 1985 New York City, though he chose to leave the TARDIS sometime after they saw Jamie McCrimmon die fighting the Cybermen.
The Doctor and Peri continued to travel together until they were separated shortly after their trip to Ravolox, when the Doctor was forced to stand trial against the Time Lords in an impartial inquiry on his character, where his prosecutor, the Valeyard, showed him Peri being killed on Thoros-Beta. The Doctor tried to explain he would improve in the future by showing an adventure he would have with Mel Bush on the Hyperion III, only to then be charged with genocide against the Vervoids. However, the arrival of the Master showed the trial to be a farce orchestrated by the Time Lords to discredit the Doctor, and also revealed the Valeyard to be a future personification of the Doctor himself, using the trial for his own agenda. After he managed to defeat the Valeyard, the Doctor was told that Peri was still alive, the reports on her death having been falsified.
Although he left the trial happy in the knowledge that Peri had married, the revelation that the Valeyard's dubious existence was tied to his own left the Doctor to fall into a depression and try to live reclusively, even when taking on companions such as Grant Markham and Mathew Sharpe, until the Fates reassured him that becoming the Valeyard was but one of many possible timeline restored him from his funk. Now seeking out Peri, the Doctor learnt that the Time Lords' manipulations on Thoros-Beta had spawned multiple versions of her. He also spent time stranded in 1890s London, where he became reacquainted with Henry Gordon Jago and Professor George Litefoot, even taking them on a quick trip after retrieving his TARDIS.
During a visit to Sheffield Hallam University, the Doctor found himself being forced to take on history lecturer Evelyn Smythe as a companion, with her verbal dexterity being on par with his own. While being troubled again by Thomas Brewster led them to meeting Flip Jackson and Patricia Menzies, it was their battles with Nimrod and the Forge that saw the Doctor learn true humility from Evelyn when she confronted him on his flippant attitude towards death. Now reassured that the life he thought would be "short, but sweet", could progressed further, the Doctor continued to travel with Evelyn until she chose to settle down on Világ.
The Doctor's following adventures saw him reunite with Frobisher, befriend Jason, Crystal and Zog, briefly travel with UNIT operatives Will Hoffman and Emily Chaudhry, try to unravel the mystery of Charley Pollard until she was erased from his memory, and return to the Land of Fiction to help Zoe Heriot fend of the Cybermen with a fictional construct of Jamie.
As he was slowly manipulated by the Valeyard across different moments of his life, the Doctor found himself reuniting with Flip while stopping Davros from altering the Battle of Waterloo, and she joined him as a companion until she left to marry Jared Ramon just before the Doctor was rejoined in his travels by one of the versions of Peri. While traveling alone, the Doctor took on Bletchley Park WREN Constance Clarke as a companion, and they were swiftly joined by Flip when they found her in 1948 Vienna, with the trio forming the "TARDIS Gang".
Eventually, the Doctor found himself meeting Mel Bush at Pease Pottage during an Auton invasion, and invited her to join him as a companion, fulfilling the future he had seen at his trial. Although he was annoyed by Mel's insistence on making him exercise and maintain a diet, the pair came to form a close friendship as they voyaged to planets like Generios 1, Lethe and Oxyveguramosa. Their travels saw the Doctor reunite with Evelyn, and later be joined by one of her old students, Hebe Harrison.
Accounts vary on just how the Sixth Doctor regenerated, though they all agree that his final flight saw him and Mel drawn to Lakertya by the Rani. While one account depicted him suffering a fatal head blow when his TARDIS was suddenly ensnared in a tractor beam before he could activate the defences, two differing accounts would elaborate that the Doctor was manipulated into ensuring his own demise in the attack by the unborn Seventh Doctor and Fenric. A second account attributed his inability to survive the attack as being from fatigue after sacrificing his chronon energy to stop Monica Lamprey destroying the multiverse. A third account showed the Doctor having to arrange his own demise to prevent the Valeyard's plan to replace every Time Lord in existence by sending a message back down his timeline and coercing his younger self into entering the Lakertyan System and regenerating after being exposed to focused radiation beams that were fatal to Time Lords. Whatever the reasons, all accounts agreed that the Sixth Doctor regenerated into his successor once his TARDIS was forced onto Lakertya by the Rani.

(AUDIO: Winter [+]Loading...["Winter (audio story)"])
The Doctor expressed joy at the change, seeing his sixth incarnation as an improvement over the Fifth Doctor, who he considered unbecoming. Despite having stabilised physically, he suffered initial personality and mental issues that caused him to lapse into extreme paranoia and violence, even trying to strangle Peri. After regaining his senses, the horror of his actions caused him to exile himself on Titan III as punishment until he had attained appropriate humility. On Titan III, he met another Time Lord, his old tutor Azmael. Instead of a self-imposed exile, the Doctor soon became involved with stopping the Gastropod Mestor from launching his eggs into space, which would cause death and destruction on every world they landed on. These efforts cost Azmael his life, as he sacrificed himself to trap Mestor in his own mind to prevent him having the chance to assault the Doctor's still-fragile new persona, but left the Doctor affirmed in his new identity.

After an unpleasant experience on the planet Rigel IV, the Doctor tried to take Peri to a party in London 1899, but ended up arriving in Africa instead, becoming caught up in the Boer Wars, where they narrowly saved Winston Churchill from an assassin. After spending time in a Boer prison, the Doctor and Peri were able to escape to the TARDIS on the same night as Churchill escaped from the prison. After telling Peri about his last meeting with Churchill in his second incarnation in 1915, the Doctor took Peri to London in 1936 to conduct a follow-up investigation into the apparent temporal interference.
Infiltrating the court using old documentation identifying himself as the Honorary Consul to Santa Esmerelda, the Doctor and Peri reunited with Churchill, posing as their own descendants, hiring former P.I. Tom Dekker as their chauffeur and bodyguard. In the course of their time in London, the Doctor discovered that Edward VIII intended to dismiss the government that would not let him marry Wallis Simpson rather than his official plans to abdicate the throne to be with her.

After the Doctor and Peri went on a fishing trip, the Doctor felt a time slip in his subconscious where he saw his second incarnation get executed. Upon Peri's suggestion to see a doctor, he went to Space Station Camera to see Joinson Dastari, only for them to find that a massacre had occurred there, with no signs of life. In the service ducts, they found Jamie McCrimmon, who claimed that the Second Doctor had been executed by the Sontarans during a battle on board the space station. After letting Jamie rest, the Sixth Doctor deduced that the Second Doctor's supposed death was an illusion created by the Sontarans. The Sixth Doctor used telepathy to track the Second Doctor to a hacienda near Seville, where he was being held captive while Dastari tried to isolate the symbiotic nuclei in his cells so that the Sontarans could be given the secret to time travel. While Peri distracted the hacienda's occupants, a local woman called Anita helped the Sixth Doctor and Jamie find a secret passageway into the cellars.
The Sixth Doctor sabotaged a TARDIS copy that was being developed on the space station, and lied to Jamie about its workings while he knew the Sontaran Group Marshal Stike was listening in on them. Jamie wounded Stike, and the two of them escaped. Knowing there was another Time Lord present, the augmented Androgum Chessene changed the plan into having Dastari alter the Second Doctor into Chessene's Androgum consort. Chessene also betrayed the Sontarans. The effect on the Second Doctor was not permanent, however, as the condition was not stabilised. The Sixth Doctor, Peri, and Jamie followed the Second Doctor to Las Cadenas restaurant in Seville. Dastari and Chessene had the Doctors and their companions brought back to the hacienda. The Sixth Doctor saved Jamie from being butchered and eaten by the Androgum Shockeye. Dastari then freed the Second Doctor upon realising his mistake in augmenting a primitive Androgum, and was shot by Chessene for betraying her.

Caught in a temporal wake, the TARDIS brought the Doctor and Evelyn to Archetryx where a conference between numerous temporal powers was being held. He met with the Time Lord delegation, consisting of the Acting President and Vansell, who informed him that President Romana had disappeared whilst investigating Etra Prime twenty years ago.

The Doctor and the President called its bluff, believing no lifeform would dare unleash such a thing, but were horrified when the Dalek followed through with its threat. The Doctor and Romana attempted to use the Eye of Harmony to contain the effect, but it proved insufficient.
After this failure, the Doctor lost his temper with Evelyn for a moment, proclaiming she could not possibly understand the scale of the destruction unfolding. The Acting President allowed the Dalek spearhead access to the Eye after they offered help and to the Doctor's surprise they did help contain the devastation in a separate continuum to burn out safely, at the cost of their lives. Afterwards, the dying Black Dalek revealed to him this was their plan all along, as Seriphia had now been reborn into thousands of virgin worlds which the Daleks were primed to seize.

Together, they defeated Vulpina and freed the young Cytherians, resulting in a peaceful treaty between the Cytherians and Venusians, before departing. (AUDIO: Voyage to Venus [+]Loading...["Voyage to Venus (audio story)"])
Intending to return to London, the TARDIS instead arrived on 1590 Roanoke Island, where the Doctor, Jago and Litefoot were held hostage by a local tribe of Native Americans. They discovered that the tribe were being terrorised by a group of ethereal children, who had been present for four hundred years. Whenever they kidnapped natives, they would leave behind the word "Croatoan" inscribed in the place where they once were. The trio discovered that Croatoan was an island, which they planned to explore, and were galvanised into action when Jago disappeared.
Arriving on Croatoan Island, they found Jago and discovered the TARDIS, which had been on Croatoan for four hundred years. Discovering Jago's captor, he revealed himself to be Sir Walter Raleigh, who had discovered the TARDIS while the Doctor and Litefoot were venturing to Croatoan. After tampering with the controls, Raleigh travelled back four hundred years, and encountered a group of alien beings, who would later become the children who had terrorised the tribe. He taught them how to live and hunt and, in return, they extended his life. However, the Doctor managed to communicate with the Native American Wanchese in the TARDIS, four hundred years prior, who prevented Raleigh from travelling in the TARDIS and restored the timeline. After the aliens disappeared, the Doctor encouraged the now paradoxical Raleigh to step outside and see the true fate of the settlers before he ceased to exist, and dematerialised. Finally managing to return to the Red Tavern, the Doctor bid his farewells to Jago and Litefoot, and set out to discover what had caused the disturbances in the Vortex.

He persuaded them to have Sosostris hypnotise Quick and remember everything the Master had ordered him to do. While Jago, Litefoot and Sosostris went to confront the Master, the Doctor together with Quick and Ellie Higson went to dismantle the mirrors and switched them with their counterparts in the Master's laboratory; he then tricked the Master, with Quick's help, by using the device to kill Jago and Litefoot by absorbing all their life force. Due to the mirrors being switched, the Master instead gave them back the energy that had been taken from them, and was left weak and frail, albeit with enough strength to retrieve his TARDIS and run away.

Golden Futures, River Song and his future
Curious about the strange "blip" in human history that was Golden Futures, the Doctor went to investigate and purchased 51% of Golden Futures, becoming the Managing Director. Unbeknowst to him, the Speravores (the real owners of the company) kept him trapped there, feeding on his wasted potential and using the time he gave them to bring to fruition their greatest plan, "Project Elysium". The extent of this plan was revealed to the Doctory by River Song, when she infiltrated the company as an office temp placement: she discovered that the Speravores wanted to destroy Earth and replace with Elysium, officially to sell it as real estate, but in reality to use it as bait for rich customers to feed on. Together the two devised a plan to stop them by diverting on Elysium the cancellation wave meant to destroy Earth, but in order to do so the Doctor suggested letting one of the Speravore larvae feed on him - which would cause him to suffer great harm and possibly regenerate. River couldn't allow that, and diverted the larvae onto other subjects, but the resulting energy was not enough, and different alternatives Earth started competing for existence. To spare the Doctor the guilt, River used her amnesia lipstick on him so that he would have no memory of their encounter.

He next traced Patricia to Cambridge, 1929 and met an older Elizabeth Rodden, before going to the Houses of Parliament in 1935. He tried to convince Patricia that her actions weren't for a better world, but a more prejudiced one. He put a spanner in her plans. The Doctor snared her in the Vortex to stop her but she managed to escape it. (AUDIO: Purification [+]Loading...["Purification (audio story)","Purification"])
The blast from Patricia's escape made him loose track of her. He located a shifting time disturbance and traced it to Neepsend, which he called a still point in an anomaly. Whilst exploring he started flitting through time, between 1864 and 2024. On once such move he used the internet to find more about Samuel Harrison, which informed him about an impending flood in Neepsend. On returning to 1864, he stole a horse to find Mel. He learnt that she went to see Patricia's work in this era. After Colton disconnected Patricia's anchor, he was sent to where her power source was. He fell through time one last time, warning Patrick McBride and Mary McBride of the flood. Assuming that he had undone the damage he set course to Hebe's flat, but learnt that Hebe didn't know them, and was held a blaster point.

He was surprised to see Ron there. He didn't like that there were approved and banned books in this timeline, after he quoted some poetry. After being asked to leave her flat, he left the TARDIS there in the hope of Hebe regaining some knowledge of her true life. He theorised that this timeline should exist as Purity needed to have met the Doctor to do her changes. He was appalled at registered meals based on their BMI, age and height. He learnt about how his mention of the Derby winner and he realised that this was his own fault. He learnt that Evelyn Smythe had created a resistance group using her pre-purity time studies. Learning about Elise existing in this timeline, he went to find her before she was assassinated which would cement this timeline into permanent existence. He was then captured by Patricia.

When Purity tried to rewrite Mel's timeline, he was stuck a Pease Pottage service station on the M23 and was able to get to Pease Pottage itself. He knew that Purity was involved and argued with her after summoning her. He learnt that his friends still existed. Trying to get to Pease Pottage, he encountered a Corruption in the shape of Mel which electrocuted him. He vowed to find them creating a device from the arcade machines. He managed to get there and devised a plan to stop her so that he could talk to her. She caused a temporal fracture to escape him. (AUDIO: The Corruptions [+]Loading...["The Corruptions (audio story)","The Corruptions"])
He became trapped in a temporal stasis void with the TARDIS, but he couldn't enter as his key was missing. He learnt that this was Purity's doing who had now used a computer to control the timelines, and wanted his help. He saw what had happened to the world a sanitised version of the world, and that the human race were doomed to homogenous morbidity. He tried to convince her that she was never perfect themselves. He gave her partial access to the TARDIS systems but she tricked him to find the perfect world but this caused Havash Khavûl to be released. He used a stick of Brighton Rock to pose a gun to enlist his escape from the Gentry. He ran into Mel who he asked to help stop the computer. He consoled Patricia as she died. Reality started unravelling but they got to the original timeline. He wondered if he could have stopped her before she went off the rails. After Ron stopped Silkreth, he received a letter from Evelyn Smythe about a warning she got from Patricia. Hebe asked if she could keep travelling with him, which he accepted.

Arriving on Earth in 1999, the Doctor visited his old friend, Dame Anne Travers, while Mel became unwittingly caught up in Ashley Chapel's attempt to summon the powerful entity Saraquazel to Earth, a resulting disruption of reality as Chapel tried to summon Saraquazel and Anne, misinterpreting Chapel's plans as an attempt to summon the Great Intelligence, tried to banish the Intelligence, turning Chapel, Anne and Mel into the three rulers of three great kingdoms, each adhering to a different law of physics. The Doctor was nearly mutated into the Valeyard by the resulting disruption of reality, but he was able to resist the influence long enough to undo the damage and restore Mel and the others to normal. (PROSE: Millennial Rites [+]Loading...["Millennial Rites (novel)"])
The Doctor was called to a spaceship to be used as a scapegoat to drive out hijackers. However, this plan turned sour when a genetically engineered species known as the Vervoids emerged from their pods in storage and killed many of the passengers, simultaneously causing several others to mutate into new members of their own kind. With the Vervoids attempting to convert all of humanity, the Doctor was forced to destroy them by fast-forwarding their lifecycle, as he knew that just one Vervoid making it to Earth would allow this to happen. (TV: Terror of the Vervoids [+]Loading...["Terror of the Vervoids (TV story)"]) The Doctor did however set up a herbarium containing Vervoid seeds genetically altered to remove genocidal tendencies which insured their benign future.

The Doctor and Mel took a trip to Oxyveguramosa, where Mel was taken by the Tremas Master to give testament at the Doctor's trial, (PROSE: The Ultimate Foe [+]Loading...["The Ultimate Foe (novelisation)"]) and later returned by the past Doctor after a brief stop at Pease Pottage. (AUDIO: The Wrong Doctors [+]Loading...["The Wrong Doctors (audio story)"])
After the Doctor's attempt to stop a minor conflict on the planet Maradnias accidentally escalated that conflict into a nuclear apocalypse, Mel contemplated leaving the TARDIS, but these plans were interrupted when the Doctor detected a trace of temporal technology on Earth. Tracking the source, the Doctor discovered Stuart Hyde had helped his new protégé, Paul Kairos, adapt TOMTIT's technology into the TITAN Array that would allow humanity to perceive the higher dimensions, just as the Tremas Master appeared to try and adapt TITAN for his own purposes. The Master's actions resulted in the creation of the Quantum Archangel, an entity composed on the human consciousness of Anjeliqua Whitefriar, the power of the Lux Aeterna, and the quantum processing power of the Mad Mind of Bophemeral, who sought to make reality "better" for all despite the risks of attracting the attention of the Chronovores.
Learning that this whole plan had been manipulated by Kronos as his attempt for revenge on the Chronovores for condemning him due to being a Chronovore/Eternal hybrid, the Doctor took on the dregs of power left from Lux Aeterna to delay the Quantum Archangel until Kronos could destroy the Mad Mind, prompting Anjeliqua to forsake her power. As thanks for his help in this crisis, the Eternals and the Chronovores erased both the Doctor's trip to Maradnias and the conflict he had originally travelled there to stop. (PROSE: The Quantum Archangel [+]Loading...["The Quantum Archangel (novel)"])
The Doctor and Mel arrived on Earth in the year 1993, where they encountered Evelyn. The Doctor chastised Evelyn for using her knowledge of the future to make money. The Doctor, Mel, and Evelyn then encountered Cellian and Ciara, who had rebelled against their Nestene control, and stopped a plan by two Cylox criminals to take over Earth. After the two Cyloxes were killed by their jailer, and Cellian and Ciara were killed in battle, Evelyn decided to join the Doctor and Mel on their travels.

Deciding to take Mel to the Great Tower of Kalsos, the Doctor arrived around 80 years too late, as it was to be destroyed to mark the end of the war against The Eminence. After being taken to Ridius IV he encountered and learnt from Helgert Teveler about the problems with the seeds because of the war and devised a plan to get uncontaminated seeds from the seed bank on Earth. The Eminence which had infected the Doctor in his fourth incarnation planned to contaminate these seeds to defeat the humans by starvation, but the Doctor tricked them.

Death
Manipulations
According to one account, just after almost becoming the Valeyard and nearly killing Mel on 1 January 2000, the Doctor was influenced by his next incarnation into killing himself. The Seventh Doctor did this out of fear of becoming the Valeyard (PROSE: Head Games [+]Loading...["Head Games (novel)"]) and because he felt he needed to be "born". According to Death's version of events, the Doctor joyfully piloted his TARDIS towards the Rani's tractor beam, (PROSE: Love and War [+]Loading...["Love and War (novel)"]) though Mel witnessed him attempting to activate the HADS. (PROSE: Time and the Rani [+]Loading...["Time and the Rani (novelisation)"]) Another account explained that it was in fact Fenric who manipulated the events of the Doctor's sixth regeneration. (PROSE: The Runes of Fenric [+]Loading...["The Runes of Fenric (short story)"])
The Rani's attack buffeted the TARDIS out of flight, (TV: Time and the Rani [+]Loading...["Time and the Rani (TV story)"]) and caused the Doctor's head to collide with the TARDIS console, (PROSE: Time and the Rani [+]Loading...["Time and the Rani (novelisation)"]) forcing him to regenerate (PROSE: Head Games [+]Loading...["Head Games (novel)"]) as the TARDIS was pulled on to Lakertya. (TV: Time and the Rani [+]Loading...["Time and the Rani (TV story)"])
Fighting the Lamprey
According to a second account, the Doctor's adventures eventually led him to the Library of Carsus, after encountering his future self in the TARDIS, where he worked with an old Time Lord friend, Professor Rummas, and many alternative versions of himself from different universes to stop the Lamprey, a pan-dimensional being, from destroying creation with the power of the Spiral Chamber, a powerful Time Lord artefact that acted as a portal into the nexus of the Time Vortex. However, the Doctor was forced to sacrifice much of his chronal energy to trap the Lamprey inside the Chamber. The toll of the Lamprey's imprisonment drained the vitality out of the Doctor as time-sensitive chronon particles, which helped sustain his life force, were stripped away from his body.
Dying, the Doctor materialised the TARDIS in deep space to take one last look at the universe. Satisfied with the life he had led, the Doctor told Mel not to feel cheated by his demise, before he drifted into a half-conscious haze and slumped over. (PROSE: Spiral Scratch [+]Loading...["Spiral Scratch (novel)"]) However, the TARDIS became under attack from the Rani and was lured into a tractor beam and forced to land on the planet Lakertya. (TV: Time and the Rani [+]Loading...["Time and the Rani (TV story)"]) The attack on his TARDIS knocked him into the TARDIS console, where he struck his head. As the Doctor was already dying from chronal starvation, (PROSE: Spiral Scratch [+]Loading...["Spiral Scratch (novel)"]) the head injury became a killing blow. (PROSE: Head Games [+]Loading...["Head Games (novel)"]; AUDIO: Zagreus [+]Loading...["Zagreus (audio story)"])
Attack from Lakertya
According to another account, the Doctor tried to travel to the Lakertyan System, but discovered there was deadly radiation nearby. Before he could divert the TARDIS away, he received a signal from a future version of his current incarnation and froze up for a moment. For reasons he couldn't explain, the Doctor was now compelled to visit Lakertya despite the danger, and continued his present course. His TARDIS was soon caught in a barrage of laser fire made of focused radiation beams. As the ship was struck and jolted repeatedly, the radiation caused Mel to lose consciousness, but the Doctor feared that he would fare far worse.
Unable to tell Mel before she passed out, the Doctor revealed that the radiation was fatal to Time Lords, and fell over onto the floor. Weakened by the attack, the Doctor made peace with the idea his time had come, fearing that he might fail to regenerate. However, as he lay dying, a figure appeared to him and told him it was "far from being all over." The Doctor wondered who it was as regenerative energy began to flow out of him, (AUDIO: The Brink of Death [+]Loading...["The Brink of Death (audio story)"]) and the TARDIS was snared by a tractor beam and forced to land on Lakertya. (TV: Time and the Rani [+]Loading...["Time and the Rani (TV story)"])

As the Doctor lay unconscious on the floor of his TARDIS after the TARDIS landed on Lakertya, the Rani and her Tetrap servant, Urak, invaded the TARDIS, and Urak was ordered to leave Mel behind and take the Doctor to the Rani's laboratory. As Urak rolled the Doctor onto his back in preparation to take him away, the final stages of his regeneration commenced, and he transformed into his seventh incarnation. (TV: Time and the Rani [+]Loading...["Time and the Rani (TV story)"])
Post-mortem
Due to his innate hubris and pre-inclination towards violence, the Seventh Doctor feared that his predecessor was a darker incarnation than his other selves, a fact which caused his memory of the Sixth Doctor to become increasingly twisted, to the point that the memories of the other five Doctors kept the sixth incarnation imprisoned deep in the Doctor's mind for fear of him becoming the Valeyard. (PROSE: Head Games [+]Loading...["Head Games (novel)"]) However, after he was shot by an arrow and woke up in his own grave, the Seventh Doctor accepted that nobody deserved to be locked up forever, recognising the need to forgive himself and remove the guilt that would have corrupted the Sixth Doctor's memory into becoming the Valeyard. (PROSE: The Room With No Doors [+]Loading...["The Room With No Doors (novel)"])
When the Eighth Doctor and the TARDIS were contaminated by anti-time, the TARDIS created various historical projections of past encounters with the mysterious "Divergence" to consider its options, with the TARDIS's "good" side using images of the Doctor's past selves and companions to represent key players in these projections. The image of the Sixth Doctor was used for the vampire Lord Tepesh, granting the Tepesh projection some of the Doctor's knowledge and experience of events that the original Tepesh could not have known. Although Rassilon "killed" the projection, when Charley stabbed the Eighth Doctor he was greeted by his immediate three predecessors in his mind, the previous Doctors working with the Eighth Doctor to allow Zagreus to take control and heal their injury.

In a negated timeline, the Doctor and Peri were almost forced to land at the Big Bang due to mysterious coordinates being sent to the TARDIS. Escaping the explosion, the Doctor and Peri arrived at a Vess warehouse, and learnt the full magnitude of the situation with the Seventh Doctor and Ace. Contacted by CIA agent Straxus as Peri vanished, the Sixth Doctor discovered that the Decayed Master had blackmailed the CIA into giving him a conceptual bomb, which he then set off inside the mind of Bob Dovie when he entered the Fifth Doctor's TARDIS; Davie's refusal to accept its existence caused the TARDIS to explode in its own timeline until it never existed. The Sixth Doctor then expanded the dimensional stabiliser on Straxus' TARDIS and was able to summon his other seven incarnations to help stop the Master. The Fifth Doctor went to 1962, and showed Dovie the TARDIS then, so that he would not be dumbfounded by the TARDIS's interior and therefore preventing the bomb's detonation. The Sixth Doctor then joined his other seven incarnations in preparing to time ram the Master's TARDIS. However, rather than kill the Master, the First Doctor instead turned off the automatic distress actions, which had brought all of the Doctors to the pocket dimension and triggered the TARDIS' destruction, making it so none of that had happened.

Facing the final curtain
The Doctor tried to travel to the Lakertyan System, but discovered there was deadly radiation nearby and quickly fled, attempting to take Mel to Zastros 8, but instead ending up on Zastros 9, a totalitarian state, and becoming caught up in another situation they only narrowly escaped from when the planet's denizens set chase after them. Back on board his TARDIS, the Doctor found the underside of the TARDIS console smoking. As he went to examine the problem, his consciousness was suddenly transported to the Matrix, and the Valeyard took over his body. Inside the Matrix, the Doctor met a Gallifreyan technician named Genesta, who warned him he was dying. He eventually discovered her to be the Valeyard in disguise.
Throughout their climactic encounter, the Valeyard taunted the Doctor, informing him that he had effectively used creatures called Nathemus to replace the entire Time Lord civilisation with his consciousness and implanted them inside the symbiotic nuclei of the TARDIS. Since the Nathemus fed off telepathic energy, they gained access to its telepathic link, and by extension, the Doctor's mind when he interacted with his ship symbiotically, which let them feed until they were able to gain access to the Matrix, giving the Valeyard a means to take it over and alter history. Because of this, both the Doctor and his TARDIS were now empowering the Nathemus and subject to their influence.
Having been completely defeated in the present, the Doctor realised the only way to break the parasitic hold the Nathemus had on him would be to put a halt to the Valeyard's master scheme in the past. He sent himself a psychic signal via a telepathic impulse from his own TARDIS to go to Lakertya regardless of the danger and experience the deadly radiation, believing he would die if he did so. Suddenly put in a threatened position, the Valeyard tried to convince the Doctor not to go with his plan, but the Doctor carried on, readying himself for the end by reminiscing of all the companions he had during his lifetime. The Valeyard challenged him with the fact that if he didn't die, but regenerated, the Nathemus would still survive. However, the Doctor knew through the process of regeneration, all the cells in his body would be replaced anew, including those of his mind. The Nathemus were linked to the unique mind he had in his present state, but with his mind reshaped, the Nathemus would no longer have any connection with him to feed on it or subsequently manipulate the TARDIS, starving them to death.
After sending his past self the message, therefore undoing all the damage the Valeyard managed to inflict on history, the Valeyard found himself reduced to a powerless form in the Matrix, cut off from the universe and left to shrivel up and die, though it also meant the end for the Sixth Doctor as well. His consciousness began to wane in the wake of time being rewritten, and he sensed the change occurring. (AUDIO: The Brink of Death [+]Loading...["The Brink of Death (audio story)"])

Behind the scenes
Casting
- Future Seventh Doctor actor, Sylvester McCoy, had put his name forward in consideration for role of the Sixth Doctor[1] before the part went to Colin Baker. However, McCoy would play the role during the regeneration sequence at the start of Time and the Rani.
Costume influences
- According to an interview with Colin Baker in DWM 118, the Sixth Doctor's coat was created because John Nathan-Turner had the idea that it should be in "very bad taste" to show the Doctor's alien nature. Baker himself had wanted to wear black to display the Doctor's darker side, likening the costume worn by Christopher Eccleston's Ninth Doctor as what he had envisioned. (DOC: Doctor Who: The Ultimate Guide)
- Colin Baker related the character of the Doctor to a quote from Rudyard Kipling; "I am the Cat who walks by himself, and all places are alike to me." This made him decide to wear a different cat badge on his costume in each story. He subsequently received a lot more cat badges from fans in the mail. When he played the Doctor on stage for The Ultimate Adventure, these gifts gave him the opportunity to wear a different badge in every single performance.
Regeneration
- Colin Baker declined an invitation to film the regeneration sequence at the start of Time and the Rani due to the circumstances of his dismissal from the role. Wishing to play the Doctor for the whole of Season 24, he was instead offered one last full story to reappear and regenerate. Baker declined, reasoning that he did not want to make the audience think he was still the de facto Doctor for a sliver of 1987 when he had been removed from the series. His successor, Sylvester McCoy, donned a blonde wig and briefly appeared on-screen as the unconscious Sixth Doctor. McCoy's face was obscured from camera view, first by the TARDIS console and then by the regeneration FX, before the final reveal of the Seventh Doctor. McCoy thus became the first actor to play more than one incarnation of the Doctor. Paul McGann would later play both the Eighth Doctor and the War Doctor in the final moments of The Night of the Doctor (again with his face obscured by the camera placement).[2] Also, Tom Baker has played both the Fourth Doctor and the Curator, and David Tennant portrayed both the Tenth and Fourteenth Doctors.
- Colin Baker would not personally enjoy an official regeneration story until 2015, when he was approached to perform one in audio format, The Sixth Doctor: The Last Adventure, making Baker, along with Eighth Doctor actor Paul McGann, one of two actors who played the Doctor to receive belated regeneration stories.
The "bang on the head" myth
- Due to lack of any information as to what caused the Sixth Doctor to regenerate, viewers were left to draw their own conclusions. At some point, it became the subject of ridicule that the Sixth Doctor had regenerated because he hit his head in some manner, an idea which some writers ran with, while others teased it. Some fans even joked it was because he fell off the exercise bike Mel had been forcing him to use. When the subject was brought before Colin Baker himself, as evidenced by a YouTube video entitled "Colin Baker Reacts to his Regeneration (50th Anniversary Convention)" by MrTARDISreviews, he found it disappointing.
- Gary Russell's book Spiral Scratch gives a "revisionist" account of the circumstances behind the Sixth Doctor's regeneration, explaining that it had not happened simply because he had hit his head, but because he was drained of the time-based life force that sustained him. Paul Cornell's book Love and War offered a different explanation, indicating the Seventh Doctor had willed himself into existence by influencing the Sixth Doctor's demise.
- In Nicholas Briggs's audio story The Brink of Death, a radiation lethal to Time Lords is the reason behind the Sixth Doctor's end. However, it did not appear to factor in the infamous "bang on the head" as an event coinciding with the Doctor's regeneration in any explicit way due to the fact it is not mentioned through dialogue nor possible to tell if the Doctor hit his head because there is no visual indicator of such a thing happening in the story. However, the Doctor is heard screaming in agony after being buffeted from a strong burst of radiation while a violent crashing sound is audible, proving he suffered some kind of physical trauma. Furthermore, though the Doctor soon afterwards collapses to the floor, there is no evidence of him hitting his head on the way down.
Other matters
- The prose version of the Sixth Doctor is one of few incarnations besides the Eighth Doctor who has technically crossed with the mythology of Faction Paradox and the War in Heaven.
- In The Quantum Archangel, the Faction Paradox is mentioned and the Doctor experiences a timeline similar to the War. Craig Hinton's original notes for the novel, eventually published in the charity publication Shelf Life, asserted the War was negatively affecting the Six-Fold Realm of the Guardians. Hinton and Chris McKeon's Time's Champion utilised those notes and asserted the Sixth Doctor's regeneration, as well as the Seventh Doctor's role as Time's Champion, was due to the coming War.
- Lawrence Burton's The Time Wrestlers, published in Obverse Books' A Target for Tommy, has the Doctor, Peri and Señor 105 face War-time agents of the Great Houses. This story loosely connects to Burton's novel Against Nature. The biodata virus from Interference - Book Two is mentioned.
