Ninth Doctor
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
The Eighth Doctor regenerated into an individual who would logically have been called the Ninth Doctor after he broke his bones falling back into the Doctor's TARDIS from the eyrie on which he had activated the Moment, destroying the Time Lords and ending the Last Great Time War.
Once the regeneration died down, the Doctor, his thirst for life renewed despite the horrors he had witnessed, eagerly felt at his new face before exclaiming his first word: "Blimey!". (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Time War)
Behind the scenes
- Similarly, in PROSE: The Gallifrey Chronicles, there is a passing reference to the Doctor having "three ninth incarnations", which was intended to refer to
- the Ninth Doctor played by Christopher Eccleston in the BBC Wales Doctor Who series;
- this Ninth Doctor played by Rowan Atkinson; and
- the Ninth Doctor played by Richard E Grant in the Scream of the Shalka webcast.
- In the Instagram release of Russell T Davies' short story Doctor Who and the Time War, he liked a comment suggesting that, as the Ninth Doctor in that story was not explicitly identified, it could be any of the Doctor's ninth incarnations, including Rowan Atkinson's.
