Fourth Doctor
An eccentric bohemian taking in new sights while fighting the greatest of evils, the Fourth Doctor was a scarfed crusader with a strong wanderlust and a deep-seated resentment toward authority figures, which resulted in him trying to live a life of solitude to avoid being responsible for anyone, though he ironically found himself being forced into missions by the likes of the Brigadier, the Time Lords and even the White Guardian himself. This inability to control the direction of his life led the highly eccentric Doctor to have moments of intense brooding between his oddball comments and cheeky attitude, sometimes to the point that he became callous and intimidating, and would explode with rage when his patience reached their limit. His solitude extended to his companions, who often only joined him in the TARDIS by inviting themselves aboard or when someone else persuaded the Doctor to let them join him.
However, the Doctor did extent an invitation to Sarah Jane Smith to keep traveling with him after his regeneration solidified, with UNIT medic Harry Sullivan joining them in the TARDIS when the Doctor wanted to prove to him that it was a time-space machine, though Harry's fiddling with the TARDIS controls lead them to the Nerva Beacon, where they saved the crew from the Wirrn and then faced the Sontaran Styre while repairing the Nerva transmat receptors. When their return to Nerva was hijacked by the Time Lords, the TARDIS crew found themselves on a mission to interfere with the creation of the Daleks, which saw the Doctor confront their creator, Davros, for the first time when he failed to destroy the Daleks at their genesis. Upon their return to the Nerva, the TARDIS crew saved the space station from the CyberNomads, and where then summoned to Scotland by the Brigadier to help UNIT face the Zygons, with Harry opting to remain on Earth when the Doctor and Sarah left in the TARDIS.
The Doctor and Sarah made to return to the London UNIT HQ, but were forced into several detours that saw them travel to 37166 Zeta Minor and face Sutekh the Destroyer on 1911 Mars before they finally arrived in time to help Harry and UNIT repel a Kraal invasion. The Doctor would remain on Earth for a time, basing himself at his cottage in Wales while Sarah continued working as an investigative journalist, though they frequently took trips in the TARDIS, such as when the Time Lords sent them on missions to planets like Ercos and Karn, and continued to assist UNIT until the Doctor finally cut ties with them after helping keep a Krynoid pod stolen by Harrison Chase from destroying the world.
After adventures that included defeating the Mandragora Helix in 1492 San Martino, Sarah decided that she had had enough of life in the TARDIS when she was possessed by the Kastrian Eldrad, just as the Doctor was called back to Gallifrey, necessitating him to leave Sarah behind as humans were not allowed on Gallifrey. However, once he returned to the Capitol, the Doctor found that he had actually been lured back by the Decayed Master to be used as a patsy for the assassination of Lord President Pandad IV, though the Doctor was able to stall his execution by putting himself forward as a presidential candidate, allowing him time to stop the Master siphoning the powers of the Eye of Harmony to heal himself and save the Capitol from destruction.
After some companionless travels, the Doctor found himself joined by Leela, a warrior of the Sevateem tribe of Mordee, when she forced her way into the TARDIS after helping the Doctor repair the supercomputer Xoanon. After getting to know each other better while stopping a Kaldor android revolution on Storm Mine 4, the Doctor resolved to improve Leela's education, starting with a visit to 1892 London where they aided Henry Gordon Jago and Professor George Litefoot in battling Magnus Greel.
Shortly after fighting a Rutan scout at Fang Rock Lighthouse, the Doctor and Leela were joined by the robot dog K9, despite the Doctor's objections, though he came to welcome K9 as his dog after a battle with the Fendahl. The Doctor, Leela and K9 would go on to have adventures on places such as Pluto and the P7E planet until the Doctor was forced to claim the presidency of Gallifrey to thwart an invasion by the Vardans and the Sontarans, with Leela and K9 opting the stay on Gallifrey, leaving the Doctor to travel alone until he assembled K9 Mark II.
On the White Guardian's orders, the Doctor and K9 began looking for the six segments of the Key to Time with the Time Lady Romana before they could be found by the Black Guardian. After finding segments on Ribos, Zanak, 1978 Earth, Tara and Delta III, the TARDIS crew found the last segment in the form of Princess Astra of Atrios, and were able to complete the Key to Time, though the Doctor ordered the segments to disperse again to stop the Black Guardian claiming it, and installed a randomiser into the TARDIS to escape the vengeance of the Black Guardian, with Romana continuing to travel with the Doctor into her next incarnation, with the regeneration occurring just before the Doctor and her stopped the Daleks from retrieving Davros to assist in their feud with the Movellans.
With the randomiser preventing them from choosing their destination, the Doctor and Romana jaunted around the universe, taking in the sights of 1979 Paris, Chloris, the interstellar cruise liner Empress and Skonnos, while also visiting 1979 Cambridge in time for Skagra's search for Shada, until the Black Guardian finally tracked them down, though the Doctor was able to entrapped him in the Time Vortex at the cost of him and Romana also getting trapped in the vortex.
During a time separated from Romana, the Doctor and K9 were joined by Sharon Davies when she helped them capture Beep the Meep and the Doctor offered her a lift home, though her being artificially aged by a malfunctioning chrono-compensator lead Sharon to decide to settle down with Vernor Allen on Unicepter IV. The Doctor then settled himself at Nest Cottage, where he joined with Mike Yates, Fenella Wibbsey and Captain the Wolfhound for a series of adventures around Hexford.
When he felt his regeneration nearing, the Doctor became more sombre and weary at the universe, changing his clothes into a macabre burgundy and, despite Romana's objections, giving the randomiser up to the Tachyon Recreation Generator on Argolis. When the Time Lords ordered Romana be returned to Gallifrey, the TARDIS accidentally passed into the smaller universe of E-Space, where the Doctor gained a new companion in the teenaged mathematical genius Adric. When they finally found the Gateway back to N-Space, Romana and K9 opted to stay in E-Space to help the enslaved Tharils release themselves from captivity, while the Doctor and Adric were summoned to Traken by the Keeper to deal with the Master with the aid of Consul Tremas and his daughter, Nyssa.
As he was observed by the Watcher that heralded his demise, the Doctor found himself and Adric accidentally picking up Tegan Jovanka as a stowaway just as they learned the Master had stolen Tremas's body and they united with Nyssa on Logopolis, where the Tremas Master accidentally started the collapse of the universe, and was forced to join with the Doctor to broadcast a CVE signal from the Pharos Project, but the Doctor was betrayed when the Master tried to blackmail the universe into his servitude and was critically injured after he fell from the antenna while stopping the Master's plan. With the assistance of the Watcher, the Doctor was able to regenerate into his next incarnation.
Biography
A day to come
The First Doctor would occasionally have premonitions of his future incarnations, (PROSE: A Big Hand for the Doctor [+]Loading...["A Big Hand for the Doctor (short story)"]) and there was a rumour that he was able to glimpse his first seven regenerations during a game of Eighth Man Bound. (PROSE: Christmas on a Rational Planet [+]Loading...["Christmas on a Rational Planet (novel)"], Lungbarrow [+]Loading...["Lungbarrow (novel)"])
When the First Doctor learned that he was diverted from the South Pole by "forces from the future" to stop him from becoming an incarnation that would play a key role in a future conflict, he was informed by the Player that he would have "lots of new faces" before he regenerated into the incarnation involved in the conflict. (AUDIO: The Plague of Dreams [+]Loading...["The Plague of Dreams (audio story)"]) Shortly before his regeneration, the First Doctor was told of "a few false starts" before he became the Twelfth Doctor, and was later shown footage of the Fourth Doctor, as well as his ten other successors, by the Testimony when he expressed doubt over the Twelfth Doctor's identity. (TV: Twice Upon a Time [+]Loading...["Twice Upon a Time (TV story)"])
During an encounter with the Eighth Doctor, the Third Doctor was told that he "[would] end [his time] by [his] own choice, in a noble cause". (PROSE: The Eight Doctors [+]Loading...["The Eight Doctors (novel)"]) After he unknowingly worked with his successor to defend a submarine from the Sea Devils, the Third Doctor could remember getting assistance from "an unknown member of the sub's crew" who he couldn't recognise when he saw his face on a monitor. (COMIC: Under Pressure [+]Loading...["Under Pressure (comic story)"])
The Third Doctor briefly regenerated into his fourth incarnation after he fell off a roof during a struggle with the Nurazh. The Nurazh attempted to take over the dying Doctor's mind, but was unable to cope with two different versions of the Doctor at the same time and perished, healing the Doctor back to his third incarnation. Jo Grant saw the Fourth Doctor long enough to describe him to the Third Doctor as being "all teeth and curls". (PROSE: The Touch of the Nurazh [+]Loading...["The Touch of the Nurazh (short story)"]) The Third Doctor was later told by Sarah Jane Smith that she had been present during his regeneration, with the Doctor commenting that he became "teeth and curls" by studying Sarah Jane's hand movements.

The Third Doctor's death took place ten years after the radiation from the Great One's lair caused severe damage to his body. (PROSE: Love and War [+]Loading...["Love and War (novel)"]) He returned to Earth to end his time in the company of Sarah Jane and the Brigadier. Cho-Je soon arrived and kick started the regeneration. (TV: Planet of the Spiders [+]Loading...["Planet of the Spiders (TV story)"])
Once he had regenerated, the Doctor suffered delirium, mumbling random things from his past adventures, and was physically exhausted. He was put in sickbay, where medical officer Harry Sullivan kept watch on him. However, the Doctor managed to outwit him and get to his TARDIS to leave. (TV: Robot [+]Loading...["Robot (TV story)"])
Slipping away from UNIT HQ, (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Face of Evil [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Face of Evil (novelisation)"]) the Doctor visited a planet colonised by the Mordee expedition, and encountered the colony ship's powerful computer, Xoanon, which he repaired from damage Xoanon sustained, accidentally imprinted his own mind on the computer, leaving him with multiple personalities.

Returning to UNIT HQ, though still with situational awareness issues, the Doctor was asked by the Brigadier to help deal with the Think Tank and their K1 robot, which had gone insane from so many contradictory orders its programming should have prevented it from doing. Afterwards, he returned to travelling in his TARDIS, taking Sarah Jane and Harry with him, abandoning a UNIT dinner party at Buckingham Palace and leaving without telling the Brigadier. (TV: Robot [+]Loading...["Robot (TV story)"])
The Nerva Beacon
Due to Harry's inadvertent interference with the helmic regulator, the TARDIS landed on Space Station Nerva, where humanity had been cryogenically suspended to await Earth's recovery from solar flares. There, the Wirrn wished to use the humans as food and incubators for their kind after the human race had destroyed their breeding colonies throughout the Andromeda galaxy in a thousand-year battle with them, sending them into space. Unable to reproduce without terrestrial colonies, they sent their queen to the Nerva Beacon, who birthed several larvae before she died from the Nerva Beacon auto-guard. The larvae began to feast on humans, absorbing their knowledge and their bodies. Luckily, Noah, a human was converted into a Wirrn, retained his strong will and tricked the Wirrn into a suicide. Afterwards, on behalf of the space station, the Doctor went down to Earth with Harry and Sarah Jane to fix the transmat relay, leaving the TARDIS on the station, while Vira, the station's first medtech, tended to waking the rest of her crew from their long sleep. (TV: The Ark in Space [+]Loading...["The Ark in Space (TV story)"]) By another account, they went down to Earth in the TARDIS, which was accidentally returned to Space Station Nerva by the transmat after they disembarked onto the surface. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Ark in Space [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Ark in Space (novelisation)"], Doctor Who and the Sontaran Experiment [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Sontaran Experiment (novelisation)"])
Once on Earth, they found the Sontaran Styre conducting experiments on humans as a prelude to an invasion. Caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, the Doctor was accused of murdering a GalSec officer among a crew who had been lured to the Earth and slowly picked off by Styre. After escaping them, he rescued Sarah from an experiment where her inner fears were used against her. Styre appeared to fatally shoot the Doctor as he fled, but the Doctor had nicked a piece of the Nerva's synestic locking system, which guarded him from injury.
Knowing a Sontaran would not refuse an opportunity to engage in mortal combat, the Doctor returned and challenged Styre to a duel. This wore him out and bought Harry enough time to remove a terullian diode bypass transformer from the ship that nurtured Styre with energy, making the energy feed on Styre instead. The Doctor went on to address the Marshal who had sent Styre to Earth. The Doctor defeated his plans by bluffing the Marshal to call off his attack, allowing the resettlement of Earth to proceed, and transmatted with his companions back to the space station to retrieve the TARDIS. (TV: The Sontaran Experiment [+]Loading...["The Sontaran Experiment (TV story)"])
Intercepting their transmat beam, a Time Lord messenger appeared to the Doctor and forced him to undertake a mission on the Time Lords' behalf: prevent the creation of the Daleks or induce them to develop into less aggressive creatures. The messenger also gave the Doctor a Time Ring, which he could use to get back to his TARDIS. Upon their arrival on Skaro, the Doctor, Sarah Jane and Harry was caught up in a war between the Kaleds and Thals, with the Doctor being taken prisoner by the Kaleds with Harry after being separated from Sarah Jane. While being questioned, the Doctor met the creator of the Daleks, a scientist named Davros, attempting to genetically engineer the Kaleds as the effects of their weapons caused them to mutate, seeking to evolve their mutations into a perfect form. Despite respecting each other as scientists, the Doctor was unable to convince Davros to change the Daleks into better creatures.
When he revealed he knew of several defeats of the Daleks in the future due to faults in their design, the Doctor was forced to tell Davros of each failure the Daleks suffered, so that he could prevent them. Attempting to gauge the extent of his insanity, the Doctor posed a question to Davros, asking him what he would do if he possessed the power to end all other life. Davros's willingness to utilise such power horrified the Doctor, tempting him to cut off his life supports as a last resort of stopping his plans, but he was prevented from doing so by Nyder, and he was imprisoned. Escaping, the Doctor destroyed Davros' recording of the foreknowledge, thus keeping the future from changing for the worse.
The Doctor found little other option left than to ensure the Daleks would never exist, and had the opportunity to blow up the stock of embryonic Daleks that Davros had produced. However, he questioned if he had the right to destroy the Daleks, knowing that wiping out an entire species would make him just like them, and the fear of the Dalek had caused many worlds to ally with each other. With this in mind, the Doctor allowed the Dalek species to persist, and chose to stall their rise to power instead. Failing to listen to the Doctor's warnings, Davros found his own creations usurping him. Because they were programmed to acknowledge any creature as inferior to the Dalek, they deemed him unworthy to rule them. Fleeing after the Daleks killed Davros, the Doctor buried them and their factory underground, delaying their progression by a thousand years. (TV: Genesis of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)"])
After departing from Skaro, the Doctor, Sarah Jane and Harry became scattered across the Adelphine Cluster due to a temporal disruption interfering with the time ring. However, they were eventually united by the interventions of the Time Lords, who also provided them with a replacement time ring. (PROSE: A Device of Death [+]Loading...["A Device of Death (novel)"])
Using the time ring, the Doctor, Sarah and Harry set off for Space Station Nerva. But instead, they arrived on the Desolii, a famous ghost ship, where they encountered friendly robots, microscopic psychiatrists and ghosts. (PROSE: The Last Thing You Ever See [+]Loading...["The Last Thing You Ever See (short story)"])
Due to the interference of the CIA, (PROSE: A Brief History of Time Lords [+]Loading...["A Brief History of Time Lords (novel)"]) the Doctor, Harry, and Sarah Jane returned to the Space Station Nerva earlier in its time line, when it orbited Jupiter, which had a fifty-year assignment to guide space freighters. The TARDIS was travelling back through time to them, leaving them stranded until it arrived. While waiting for it to arrive, the Doctor became involved with stopping a Cyberman attack on Voga, the planet of gold, to keep the resource of their major weakness to a minimum in the Cyber-Wars. The Doctor ultimately stopped them from blowing up the planet, defeating them once more. Finally reunited with the TARDIS, the Doctor received a call for help from the Brigadier via a space-time telegraph. (TV: Revenge of the Cybermen [+]Loading...["Revenge of the Cybermen (TV story)"])
Another account of events, the Doctor, Harry, and Sarah landed at a different time than expected in the mess hall. Shortly after arriving, Kellman tried to kill them in a crusher room. He learnt that there was a plague which he recognised from his travels, and when a Cybermat attacked Sarah he realised it was the Cybermen. He devised a way to attack the Cybermen using the stations X-Ray machine. He thought that the Cybermen might be in the oxygen canisters, and discovered a strange body stashed inside them. After negotiating the antidote for the plague from the cyberleader, curing Sarah, he followed Kellman to the asteroid of gold. He discovered that it was inhabited. With Sarah using reprogrammed Cybermats to destroy the Cybermen, he managed to stop the Beacon crashing into the asteroid.

Returning to UNIT

With the TARDIS still recovering from solar flare radiation, the Doctor took Sarah and Harry to 24th century Prague, where they visited a museum and discovered a dead body in one of the exhibits. The Doctor was accused of murder, but persuaded the police to allow him to take over the investigation. He and his two friends discovered nanoprobes had been in-bedded into the city, and further investigating soon led him to the killer. (PROSE: Nanomorphosis [+]Loading...["Nanomorphosis (short story)"])
While answering the Brigadier's distress call, the Doctor lost Harry in a Somerset wood in November 1936, and found his grave in December 1936, causing him and Sarah to investigate what had happened to him. Learning that the land had been "woken up" by the spell of Hester Stanton, the Doctor and Sarah put the land back to sleep using the blood of werewolf Emmeline Neuberger before returning to November to recover Harry, after Sarah received confirmation from a dryad that they had done so. (PROSE: Wolfsbane [+]Loading...["Wolfsbane (novel)"])
After Sarah accidentally released the Carrionites that had been imprisoned in the TARDIS by a future incarnation of the Doctor, the TARDIS was attacked by several Reapers due to the Carrionites using their powers to travel back through time to escape. As the Doctor fended off the Reapers, Harry brought him the crystal ball that held the imprisoned Carrionites, and they were devoured by the Reapers upon their escape. With their intentions achieved, the Reapers left as the TARDIS landed in 1975 Scotland. (PROSE: Toil and Trouble [+]Loading...["Toil and Trouble (short story)"])
The Doctor, Sarah and Harry met up with the Brigadier, and discovered that an alien race known as the Zygons were planning to use a Skarasen to attack London and abducting people to power body-prints that let them shape-shift into the forms of humans as disguises, the disappearance of the Duke of Forgill being among them. The Doctor and company had several close calls with the Zygons and eventually discovered the location of their spaceship, rescuing everyone, during which, the Doctor instigated the ship to self-destruct.
Discovering the plan was to have the Skarasen besiege Stanbridge House in a display of power, the group made haste to London. As the Brigadier and UNIT took care of the surviving Zygon commander, Broton, the Doctor found the trilanic activator used to control the Skarasen's movement and gave it to the Skarasen, who ate it and returned to Loch Ness. The Doctor prevented the destruction of the city, though the monster was still seen by the populace, and the Brigadier would have to quietly cover up the incident. After returning to Scotland to retrieve the TARDIS and bring the Duke back home, Harry chose to leave the TARDIS and find a more conventional means of transportation, while the Doctor managed to persuade Sarah to stay.

Journey to London
The Doctor and Sarah Jane next landed on Zeta Minor, thirty-thousand years in the future. Accused of killing the crew attempting to mine the planet for alternative sources to replace their dying sun, the Doctor instead found that the planet was the boundary between the normal universe and the anti-matter universe; taking any mineral from the planet would trap a ship there. The crew's leader, Professor Sorenson, had been infected with anti-matter and was fighting off its influence as he kept changing back and forth into a monster that mummified living beings. The Doctor tricked Sorenson into the TARDIS and kicked him into the pool of anti-matter, releasing the expedition ship and restoring the professor to normal. (TV: Planet of Evil [+]Loading...["Planet of Evil (TV story)"])
The Doctor and Sarah next visited London in 1666, with Sarah Jane falling victim to the Black Death. Before he could save her, the Doctor was held responsible for the Great Fire of London by Sergeant George Mullens, despite helping locals to put it out. However, he escaped a lynch mob and cured Sarah back at the TARDIS. (PROSE: The Republican's Story [+]Loading...["The Republican's Story (short story)"])
The Doctor and Sarah Jane posed as Earth delegates on the planet Farrash, a dying planet that official Earth delegates took no interest in. During a public demonstration, the Doctor was separated from Sarah Jane and became caught up in a protest against "baby killing". The Doctor learned the Leader was sanctioning the abortion of foetuses in order to supply his scientists with the neurochemicals their experiments to save Farrash required. One scientist created a mechanical body that swiftly became a rogue robot and went on a killing spree. The robot fell through the ground and became trapped underneath civilisation. With the Leader killed, the Doctor encouraged the population to work together to find a way of saving Farrash, and left with Sarah Jane. (PROSE: Rights [+]Loading...["Rights (short story)"])
The Doctor next tried to visit the planet Shalonar but accidentally arrived in Europa - a land built on the ruins of the Overcities from "historical" details of Europe. After finding a trace of an ancient Gallifreyan entity named Managra in a Vatican tapestry, the Doctor started brooding over this and began to slowly piece together the origins of the mysterious "Doctor Sperano". While in the Vatican, the Doctor and Sarah were framed for the murder of Pope Lucian and had to escape the Vatican with a Reprise of Lord Byron named Dangerous Byron.
Due to this, the duo began travelling with Byron and effectively joined the "Dominoes". While in the Black Forest, Sarah was kidnapped by Sperano - making the Doctor's quest to unravel the origins of Doctor Sperano extremely important. He was able to piece together the history of Europa and Doctor Sperano while working with the Dominoes and (as the Dominoes attacked the Vatican), the Doctor stopped Sperano from warping Europa into his own image - nearly sacrificing himself in the process but being saved by Sarah Jane right before this could happen. (PROSE: Managra [+]Loading...["Managra (novel)"])
Attempting to return to UNIT, the Doctor instead arrived at a priory in 1911, on the future site of UNIT headquarters. There, he had to prevent the last of the Osirans, Sutekh, from escaping his prison in Egypt and destroying the universe. Though unsuccessful in stopping Sutekh's servant, Marcus Scarman, from releasing him, the Doctor was able to delay Sutekh's trip through a time corridor to the priory by moving the corridor's threshold to the far future, thus effectively ageing him to death. Not realising his actions would cause the thermal balance to equalise, the Doctor accidentally set the priory on fire. (TV: Pyramids of Mars [+]Loading...["Pyramids of Mars (TV story)"])
Holidaying at the ruins of Phaester Osiris with Sarah, the Doctor was kidnapped by archaeologist Edwin Carver, and stopped him and the cult of the Black Pyramid from awakening Horus.

After landing near a manor house in 1764, the Doctor nearly drowned in a frozen lake while following giant cat footprints. He was rescued by Rector Adams, and decided to remain when he and Sarah saw a 20th-century double decker bus in the woods. Adams invited them to accompany him to Lady Huntingdon's ball, where the Doctor was reunited with Iris Wildthyme and learnt the bus was actually her TARDIS. He discovered Iris intended to marry off her companion, Edwin Turner, to Lady Huntingdon's granddaughter, Bella, so that she would inherit the estate. When the Rector was killed by a giant animal, the Doctor discovered Huntingdon and Bella were actually shape shifting cat aliens who wanted to steal Iris' TARDIS. Bella turned against Huntingdon, and before Huntingdon could hijack Iris' TARDIS, the Doctor trapped her in a pocket dimension with the use of a Time Lord dimensional message capsule. Afterwards, the Doctor and Iris went their separate ways again. (PROSE: Old Flames [+]Loading...["Old Flames (short story)"])
Afterwards, the Doctor seemingly found himself in a town Sarah Jane had previously visited for a newspaper article. They ultimately found that it was a facsimile of the town, not even actually on Earth, populated by androids under the control of the Kraals. The Kraals' own world had become uninhabitable, leading them to plan on wiping out Earth's population with a virus, then populating the planet themselves. Discovering Sarah had been replaced by an android, the Doctor found and rescued her. With the help of Harry Sullivan and UNIT, the Doctor was able to stop the aliens and rescue the townsfolk the Kraals replaced.

Whilst the Doctor was conducting an experiment at his cottage, the TARDIS began to dematerialise. Realising it was being taken away by a time warp, the Doctor managed to devise a way to jam it enabling him and Sarah to board it. As the TARDIS was diverted to a space station in the Milky Way, the Doctor sabotaged the time circuits and fell into a deep coma. To force him to awake to repair his ship, Shazar, the rogue Time Lord who had masterminded the event, threatened Sarah. The Doctor awoke to save Sarah Jane and Shazar revealed his alliance with the Daleks, ordering the Doctor to repair the TARDIS so the Daleks could use it to complete the time circuits of their own fleet of TARDISes. The Doctor tricked Shazar into leaving the station to collect cirenium, as the Doctor anticipated he was quickly tracked down by the Time Lords. The Doctor and Sarah evaded the Daleks until Shazar returned with cirenium, believing he'd convinced the Time Lords that the Doctor was the one allied with the Daleks, which caused the Dalek TARDISes' destruction upon being installed. The Time Lords rescued them from the Dalek space station, revealing they'd realised the Doctor's plan for the cirenium all along.

Facing the Scratchman
The TARDIS brought the Doctor, Sarah and Harry to a Scottish island where they had a picnic. They discovered a plague turning the local people into living scarecrows so the Doctor arranged the surviving villagers to shelter in the church whilst he sent Sarah and Harry to fetch equipment so he could create a device to accelerate moth evolution so they would attack the scarecrows. However one of the villagers turned on him and broke his device after the scarecrows indicated he was their target, so he surrendered to the scarecrows hoping to have the villagers spared, unsuccessfully. Sarah and Harry rescued him with the evolved moths when the scarecrows brought him to the beach to meet their masters. Three Cybermen then revealed themselves as the scarecrows' masters, however the Doctor quickly deduced someone else has given them the plague. Their benefactor, the Scratchman, intervened and took Sarah and Harry through a tiny rift into his universe, forcing the Doctor to follow in the TARDIS.
The Doctor endured a series of bizarre situations upon arrival in Scratch's universe, which nearly broke his self-belief until a future Doctor intervened to help him. He confronted Scratchman who revealed he was willing to give the Doctor power in return for him widening the tear to allow him into the universe. The Doctor rejected him so Scratch challenged him to a fight. Reunited with Sarah and Harry, they found themselves in a bizarre mixed game of pinball and chess based on Harry's memories. The Doctor devised a way to divert the balls off the course, winning the game so Scratchman furiously sent Harry away. The Doctor quickly deduced Harry's survival and was vindicated when Harry's meddling led to Scratchman's castle falling from the sky. In the ruins he faced the weakening Scratchman again and told him his true fear, which overwhelmed Scratchman so much he consumed himself in his desperation for energy. The Doctor then meditated to summon the TARDIS and departed with Sarah and Harry.
Afterwards the Doctor was snatched away by the Time Lords and brought before the Convocation of Oblivion to explain his actions. He told them of his encounter with Scratchman and shamed them for not facing their fears, walking away freely. He then resumed his picnic with Sarah and Harry where he met the future Doctor again on the beach. (PROSE: Scratchman [+]Loading...["Scratchman (novelisation)"])
Missions for the Time Lords
Whilst attempting to leave the cottage in Bessie, the Doctor and Sarah found themselves forced to turn back. Deducing the Time Lords were responsible, they returned to the TARDIS which was sent to Dalek-occupied Ercos. There they helped Ticon, a Klim, escape the Daleks. He explained the Daleks were drilling on the planet and together they infiltrated the drilling site, where the Doctor deduced the Daleks were turning Ercos into a giant missile to fire at Earth. When the Daleks sealed the tunnels to the drill, they escaped via an underground river. Back on the surface, Ticon instigated a revolt against the retreating Daleks whilst the Doctor and Sarah reached the TARDIS.

There, he discovered she had come into contact with a stone hand and, when Sarah stole the hand and fled, followed her to Nunton Experimental Complex.

Eldrad restored herself using the reactor core. The Doctor agreed to take her back to Kastria, her homeworld, but only in the present, not her home time, as this broke the Laws of Time.

Return to Gallifrey
Discovering that the signal hadn't come from someone he knew, the Doctor returned to Gallifrey, just as it was the time of the election for Lord President, and theorised that the departing President was in danger. Stealing a robe to blend in, the Doctor attempted to prevent an assassination, but ended up framed for murdering the Lord President. To keep himself from being executed, the Doctor declared his own candidacy for Lord President. Believing the Matrix would give him clues as to who was behind this, the Doctor ended up in a mental duel with the culprit.
After finding the assassin, the Doctor learned that it was Goth, another Lord President candidate, who was being manipulated by the Decayed Master; since their last meeting, the Master, with no regenerations left, had degenerated into a rotting corpse. The Master was plotting to use the Eye of Harmony in an attempt to restart his cycle of regenerations by using the Sash of Rassilon to protect himself from the effects of the Black hole that would destroy Gallifrey as a side-effect.
After failing to convince the Master that, since the sash was damaged in the death of the old president, it would put the Master at risk, the Doctor fought him off. Though the Master managed to escape capture, the Doctor left his former teacher, Borusa, to lead Gallifrey as Cardinal, (TV: The Deadly Assassin [+]Loading...["The Deadly Assassin (TV story)"]) though, as the only candidate left, he was still eligible to gain the title of Lord President, even after leaving.

Meeting his future
Now on his own, the Doctor stopped at the Cathedral of Contemplation, where the Abbess put him to paint frescoes in one of the chapels. He was helped by Jora, a fugitive from the Second Dalek War, and later reached by his tenth incarnation. When the Daleks attacked the Cathedral, the two Doctors brought the pilgrims to safety; then the Fourth Doctor insisted on going and confront the Daleks directly in the Sanctum.
Captured by the Dalek duplicate of Captain Zenna, he was delivered to the Dalek Supreme, who attached him to the main control of the Cathedral and tried to use his telepathy to drive the building down to Earth headquarters. However, even the mind of the Doctor proved insufficient to form a stable connection with the Cathedral; only when the Tenth Doctor joined him at the control, their combined efforts allowed them to move it. The two Doctors first released the pilgrims on a safe space, and then directed the Dalek time corridor to Earth, 5,000,000,000, sending the Daleks to their destruction. Released by Jora, the two Doctors then managed to escape and trap the Dalek Supreme inside the collapsing Cathedral. The Fourth Doctor offered Jora to accompany him, but she refused.

During a visit to London in 1999, the Doctor worked with Harry Sullivan to deal with a new group of Voracians, who had infiltrated the British Government. Unlike the direct military action of the first group that the Doctor had encountered, these Voracians intended to manipulate the government into dismantling the British military by staging a coup and shutting down the army in the aftermath, telling the government that the goal was to divert money into education and medicinal programs when in reality they would use the opportunity to distribute Voractyll-programmed technology more effectively while disguising it as anti-Millennium-Bug software. Having exposed the coup, the Doctor and Harry tracked down the Voracians before they could activate Voractyll, distracting them long enough for the Doctor to infect their own software with the Millennium Bug, causing Voractyll to shut down when it passed through them.

Still travelling alone, the Doctor gained a companion in Miss Young, and the pair went to Scotland in Bessie to meet with Professor McBane, an old friend of the Doctor who had summoned him. McBane revealed that a meteor had crash landed in oil rig waters, and he wanted the Doctor's input on the chance of alien hostility. As the group flew over the area in a helicopter, giant tentacles arose from the sea and began attacking a local ship. The Doctor was able to take a sample of the pink substance from the creature back to the laboratory, where he discovered that it was seaweed contaminated from radiation from deep space brought by the meteorite. Furthermore, the mutated seaweed was attracted to sound, so the sound of the oil rig put it in danger.
The Doctor and Miss Young headed out on a boat, using a sound-emitting gadget to attract the mutated seaweed. A tentacle grabbed the Doctor, but Miss Young cut it off. They lured the mutation into a shallow bay where it couldn't dive and dropped drums of petrol from the boat. After they were flown out of the area, the petrol was lit on fire, killing the beast. Afterwards, the Doctor and Miss Young drove back to the TARDIS for more adventures. (COMIC: The Sea Devil [+]Loading...["The Sea Devil (comic story)"])

However, due to the interventions of the TARDIS, the damage to the multiverse was repaired, but, as a result, the timeline was replaced by one where the professor reported his crime rather than hiding it.

The Doctor brought Leela to Victorian London and the pair encountered the magician Li H'sen Chang and his master, the self-styled Weng-Chiang, who was actually the 51st century criminal Magnus Greel. With the help of Henry Gordon Jago and Professor George Litefoot, the Doctor was able to stop Greel from using a failed time machine that would have destroyed reality, but when the attempt happened without a crucial part, Greel was caught in an explosion.

After saying goodbye to Jago and Litefoot, the Doctor followed a distress signal that took him and Leela to a country house in Kent in 1895. At the house, the Doctor had to stop Leela from attacking the butler, Jenkins, and told him that his master, Lord Jack Corrigan, had taken a spaceship. After the TARDIS departed, the Doctor traced it to the Nerva Beacon centuries in the future. They landed on the Chandler and joined its crew pretending to be part of its construction crew for the Nerva Beacon. Shortly after boarding the Nerva Beacon, they were arrested by a Drudger and taken to Giles Moreau where he questioned Henry McMullan about the stolen spaceship.
The Doctor worked out that Henry was spreading an infection among the people on the Nerva Beacon. After Jim Hooley became ill with the infection, the Doctor stopped Alison Foster from touching him. He managed to get them back onto supply ship to get a message to quarantine the Nerva Beacon. Shortly afterwards, the Drellerans showed the Doctor that they infected Jack and his colleagues because of Jack's subjugation of their people.

Upon Leela's demand for more teaching, the Doctor brought her to the Movarian Museum, in time for the opening of the new Renaissance section. When they landed, though, they found themselves in an English village, apparently at the beginning of the 20th century. They were greeted by Harcourt, a local scholar, and his servant, Jephson, who seemed to be bent on acquiring knowledge. They found out that Harcourt was a robot built as a speaking database and Jephson was the curator of the new section of the Museum, and wanted to acquire as much knowledge as he could in order to become a real "Renaissance Man". For that reason, he invited several scholars and experts and, with the help of Harcourt, drained their entire memories, transferring them into the database. He managed to drain from Leela her knowledge about hunting and tried to do the same with the Doctor, but he was able to resist the impulse and tricked him by having him store data about a non-existent historical character. When the Doctor revealed the trick, all the world built by Harcourt and Jephson collapsed, leaving only an empty space. (AUDIO: The Renaissance Man [+]Loading...["The Renaissance Man (audio story)"])

Investigating their headquarters, the Doctor discovered that the company had been infiltrated by the Daleks, and that the energy readings were associated with a Dalek Time Ship. He rescued Leela from being converted into a Roboman.
Using the Robotisation mechanism, the Doctor got information from a Dalek that they wanted the energy for their plans and headed for the Moon. He worked out that Damien Stephens was a high functioning Roboman, and also found out that the Daleks were plotting to force the Moon out of Earth's orbit, so that it would cause highly destructive floods and tectonic events that would ultimately engulf the human race.

He tried to assassinate Strang by using the probic vent, but it didn't work, and the Doctor was sent to help Rosato to complete the portal he was creating. He tried to convince Rosato that wiping out the Sontarans would let the Rutan Host swarm, but his subconscious betrayed him and he accidentally gave Rosato the equations to complete the portal.

The Doctor then disguised himself as Oskin and got in contact with the Rocket Men leader, Shandar, on their base, the Asteroid. Upon his suggestion, Shandar called upon the Master to propose him a partnership. When the Master arrived, the Doctor manipulated him so that he would kill his duplicate, just before he and K9 started disconnecting the relais keeping the Asteroid steady in space. The Doctor then wore a Rocket Man suit and went off on the Asteroid, where he, Leela and Marshall fought against Shandar and his men long enough to allow K9 to call the Galactic Heritage from the Master's TARDIS.

Reaching the edge of the universe, the Doctor met the Minyans a species the Time Lords helped evolve, whose destruction of their own planet because of their advancement in evolution led to the Time Lords' non-interference policy. He helped them locate and rescue fellow descendants of their species, taking them a new planet where they could start a better life. While helping them, the Doctor battled against the Oracle, a machine that enslaved the secondary descendants with the aid of robots. (TV: Underworld [+]Loading...["Underworld (TV story)"])
A short while after their adventures with the Minyan, the Doctor landed the ship in Atlantis. Almost immediately after K9 and the Doctor walked out, K9 picked up signals from a nearby vortex manipulator, actually belonging to River Song, before starting to malfunction, speaking only in binary code and then not at all. The Doctor realised that the Crystal of Kronos was creating a time eddy, stranding them. This was part of a wider temporal crisis preventing TARDIS travel across the universe, including for all of the Doctor's incarnations. The Thirteenth Doctor and K9 Mark IV worked to remedy the situation by refueling her TARDIS with vortex energy and connecting all her predecessors' TARDISes through time "like Christmas lights". Once his TARDIS was back online, the Doctor headed back to the Minyan ship to foil an attempt by Daleks from a future Time War to undo his and Leela's good work, with him finding out the nature of the Daleks' scheme and Leela then destroying the Daleks. On the way to New Minyos, he realised he knew about the Time War due to a time echo. On New Minyos, he and Leela foiled a second attempt by the Daleks to use the Mutation Device on the race bank.

Leela asked him to take them to Exxilon to prove that he could pilot the TARDIS. He was cautious as he tried to avoid the TARDIS losing energy like his previous excursion there, planning to land after the city was destroyed. However, this happened again as unbeknownst to him another beacon had been activated. He landed near this new beacon. He encountered Bellal again and tried to show Gislen that the alliance he had made to get a new beacon was not a good idea. Leela and the Doctor were imprisoned by Bernard, but later released by Anya Kingdom in secret. K9 brought him to Mark Seven and the Doctor discovered that he was under Dalek control, but this affected him as well before Leela disconnected him. He told Mark that the Dalek had planted a lie in his mind. He realised that the Daleks were being affected by the plague and was appalled that the Daleks created an evil scheme rather than create a peace so both species could survive. He reprogrammed Mark to delete the Dalek conditioning. (AUDIO: The Dalek Protocol [+]Loading...["The Dalek Protocol (audio story)"])
Noticing the unreliability of K9, the Doctor and Leela acquired the parts for K9 Mark II.

Lord President of Gallifrey
Returning once more to Gallifrey, and posing as vainglorious and power-mad, the Doctor sought and attained the office of Lord President from Borusa, who he had left in charge on his previous visit, as part of a scheme to save his home world from an invasion force of the Vardans who had contacted him for his aid. He was unable to confide his intent to double cross the Vardans in anyone but K9 due to the Vardans' psychic abilities. He was inaugurated as President and crowned with the Crown of Rassilon, painfully connecting him to the Matrix. (TV: The Invasion of Time [+]Loading...["The Invasion of Time (TV story)"])

As part of his plan, he had Leela exiled from the Citadel so that she would gather a resistance force. As he'd planned the Vardans arrived in force after K9 lowered Gallifrey's transduction barrier, enabling him to track their point of origin and contain it in a time loop. However he was the confronted by an advance party of Sontarans who had used the Vardans' invasion to gain access to Gallifrey. He retreated into the TARDIS and picked the Sontarans off through traps he set for them. Realising they would be unable to control Gallifrey, the Sontarans sought to destroy it so the Doctor was forced to retrieve the De-mat gun and use it to erase their leader, Stor, from history.
With his homeworld protected and Borusa once again in charge, the Doctor planned to resume his travels. But he learned Leela had fallen in love with a Gallifreyan guard named Andred and wished to remain with him; K9 likewise wished to stay with his "mistress". Though he seemed sad at first to lose both companions, the Doctor quickly pulled out a crate marked "K9 Mark II" from a storage area and grinned to himself.

The Doctor visited Zaggar-Six, where he came into the possession of multiple Zaggan pound notes. He eventually found his way to the outskirts of a small town in the English countryside on Earth, where he went into a shop to restock up on foods. Inside, he found the "Old" Grubb completely petrified with fear of something coming. At this point, the shop was attacked by a Roman-style robot, which killed the shopkeeper without mercy and attempted to kill the Doctor. The robot malfunctioned after being confused by the Doctor's biology, but the Doctor was soon attacked by reinforcements of robots in the Iron Legion, who shot at him as he entered the TARDIS.
The Doctor learned that he had slipped into a dimension duct to an alternate world where Rome had never fallen and where a vast empire ruled the galaxy. Landing in the middle of a royal ceremony, he met with General Ironicus, who threw him into the Ectoslime after he refused to give him the secrets of the TARDIS. The Doctor was able to avoid it killing him by telling it a joke in its native language, thus befriending it, but the Doctor was enslaved for this and taken on board the Imperial Air Galley. He escaped with the help of ex-gladiator Morris, while also being joined by Vesuvius, a robot with a flame attachment to his head, although Morris suffered a fatal injury and died. In the catacombs, the Doctor activated the genetically engineered Bestiarus and programmed them to start a revolution against Rome.
The Doctor eventually met with what was purportedly Adolphus Caesar's mother Juno, who the Doctor revealed was really Magog, a Malevilus whom had secretly influenced Rome into conquering the galaxy, and reverted to his original form. Magog had the powers of physical manipulation, and tortured the Doctor for his actions—turning his body inside out and twisting the time around his body, as well as other things. The Doctor was able to point a camera at the beast, revealing to the people his true nature and causing them to join in with the uprising. Magog did not care about this, as he knew that he could still force his will over them, and forced the Doctor to take him into the TARDIS, where he was tricked into flicking a switch which flung him into an empty dimension, trapping him for eternity. Back on Earth, the remaining Malevilus were killed by the besieging Bestiarus, Vesuvius was crowned the new emperor and the Doctor left for a vacation in Benidorm. (COMIC: Doctor Who and the Iron Legion [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Iron Legion (comic story)"])
Partway to Benidorm, however, the Doctor had to force a landing on the planet Zom to repair his time-space stabiliser. In the city of Zombos, he discovered a society where emotions were the only crime, and any signs of emotion were removed by the Harmoniser. The city's police, the Moderators, discovered the Doctor's interference and took him to the Moderator General., where he was attached to the Ultra-Harmoniser—a piece of technology that wiped the mind entirely. Before his mind could be wiped, however, he was saved by the Zom Emotional People's Organisation, who arrived to save the machine's previous victim, Freddy Feel-Good. ZEPO was a resistance group of fighters who had gained emotions, although each member only held one main emotion, which became their name. Deciding that the Doctor had to be one of them if the Brains Trust wanted him wiped, the group decided to take the Doctor with them, helping him fly out of the city on one of their ZEPO fliers. Outside the city in the rebel camp, they introduced each other to him. Their silly personalities and names caused the Doctor to laugh, which the group's bible had predicted their saviour, the Great Emoter, to be able to do. The group soon realised that the Doctor held many emotions and could switch between them easily, making them believe even further that he was the Great Emoter.
At the rebel camp, the Hates, a ZEPO splinter group, had collected a group of blood-eating bugs named Barabara, who they released to eat the Moderators that had found the camp. When the Doctor was bitten by the bugs, they quickly died off, while they quickly ate the Moderators without worry. The Doctor realised that adrenaline, the chemical released by creatures under emotional stress, was poisonous to the bugs—meaning that while ZEPO was safe, those in the city were not. As a large shipment of Barabara the Hates had placed inside the food conveyer began attacking the city, the team sped to warn the Brains Trust of the threat. The Doctor stole the teleportation gear from one of the consumed Moderators and teleported to the Brain Trust.
The Doctor explained the situation to the Brains Trust, who agreed that losing what they had built was more favourable to losing their people. Before they could undo the process however, they were attacked by the Moderator General, who refused to remove emotions to his "perfect society". He killed all of the Trust before being knocked out by the Doctor. Imitating the Moderator General, the Doctor broadcast a message ordering those in the city to reconnect to their harmony booths, which he was able to use to reverse the process. As the people's blood was now poisonous to the Barabara, they instead began attacking the Moderators. The city was left without their totalitarian rulers, leaving ZEPO in charge. The Doctor decided to leave—much to the dismay of ZEPO, who still saw him as his saviour. After a few days of repairs on the TARDIS, he was able to leave, accidentally leaving behind readings of his brain's E-wave patterns. ZEPO decided to use these to repair the citizens' emotions, leaving everyone in the city with the personality, quirks, and emotions of the Doctor. Leaving them behind, the Doctor exclaimed that they would grow out of the phase. (COMIC: City of the Damned [+]Loading...["City of the Damned (comic story)"])
The Doctor finally tracked K9 down, where he learned that K9 had been grabbed accidentally by a teleportation beam that was meant for him.

However, during the adventure to repair a rejuvenation machine, the Doctor ended up ageing hundreds of years. A genetically created Argolin, named Pangol, decided to take over, but thanks to the Doctor's interference, his plan to create a clone army of himself backfired as the Doctor was in the machine beforehand, gaining his youth back. However, the Doctor, deciding that he was tired of running from his enemies, had to remove the randomiser in order to repair the machine.

While on course to Gallifrey, the TARDIS fell through a Charged Vacuum Emboitement and into a smaller pocket universe known as E-Space. Landing on Alzarius, the Doctor met the Alzarians, who were trying to repair their ship. Romana was bitten by an Alzarian spider, falling into a trance; under its control, she allowed the Marshmen to invade. However, they were driven back out by an increase of oxygen, which was poisonous to them. Studying these species' genetics, the Doctor found that the Marshmen killed the original humanoids and evolved to replace them. Creating an antidote, the Doctor cured Romana and taught the Alzarians how to pilot their ship. During this time, he met a precocious Alzarian boy named Adric, who snuck on board the TARDIS before they left to find a way back home to their universe as there was nothing left on Alzarius for him. (TV: Full Circle [+]Loading...["Full Circle (TV story)"])
After discovering Adric had stowed aboard his TARDIS, the Doctor and Romana next arrived on the most technologically advanced planet in E-Space, where they learned of a human ship called the Hydrax that came there several years ago. They met the Three Who Rule, discovering their castle was actually the Hydrax and they were vampires, converted by the Great Vampires' king, an old nemesis of the Time Lords. During the Time of Arising, in which the King would be resurrected and return to N-Space, the Doctor launched an escape craft from the Hydrax through its heart, killing the ancient creature. After this, the Doctor set off to return Adric home, as well as to find a way back into his own universe. (TV: State of Decay [+]Loading...["State of Decay (TV story)"])
Around the same time, the Doctor came under attack from another group of vampires and lost enough blood to put his life in danger. The Eighth Doctor, who was travelling through his past to regain his memories, gave his past incarnation a blood transfusion, saving him and ensuring that the Eighth Doctor received all his memories from his fourth life at the same time.

While travelling through E-Space to take Adric home, the Doctor ended up at the Gateway, a location directly between N-Space and E-Space, and time winds blew into the TARDIS, damaging K9 while he was attempting to land. While at the Gateway, the Doctor found Tharils being mistreated by a man named Rorvik in his desire to leave the limbo between realities. When Rorvik's final attempt to leave backfired, it cost him his life. Upon finding the way home, the Doctor discovered Romana wished to remain to help the Tharils. Saddened, the Doctor agreed to let her do so with K9 as a parting gift. As Adric never had any intention of returning home to Alzarius, the Doctor allowed him to stay aboard the TARDIS and return to N-Space with him.

Death
- Main article: Fourth Doctor's regeneration
Tired of the TARDIS' chameleon circuit being stuck, the Doctor went to Logopolis to obtain the formula needed to fix it. Arriving, the Doctor found a woman named Tegan Jovanka had accidentally boarded the TARDIS during a brief trip to Earth, thinking it was a police box. He also reunited with Nyssa, whilst also meeting a being known as the Watcher; they had a secret conversation and the Doctor learnt the Watcher was a manifestation of his next incarnation and that he would be regenerating soon. Realising his end was near, the Doctor got the formulas from Logopolis and shrunk the TARDIS by accident due to the Tremas Master's interference, but this was corrected. The Doctor then went to the Pharos radio telescope to a broadcast the CVE signal as the Watcher took Adric and Nyssa outside the universe.
After successfully reopening the CVEs, the Doctor's short-lived alliance with the Master ended when the Doctor attempted to stop him from forcing the universe into serving the Master with the threat of weaponising the entropy. Pulling the plug on the radio that powered the dish to do so, the Doctor ended up hanging onto it as the Master rotated the dish. Dangling from the dish, the Doctor experienced visions of past foes before he lost his grip and fell to the ground.
In a daze from the fall, the Doctor experienced visions of the Brigadier, Sarah, Harry, Leela, K-9 and Romana. When Adric, Nyssa and Tegan gathered around him, the Doctor smiled, telling them that the moment had been prepared for. Shocking everyone present, the Doctor held his hand out to the Watcher, who merged with the Doctor as he regenerated into his next incarnation. (TV: Logopolis [+]Loading...["Logopolis (TV story)"])

The Doctor eventually caught up to the Monk in London in the 2010s whilst he was stealing the Magna Gral from UNIT on behalf of the Hyreth and worked with Kate Stewart, Petronella Osgood and Sarah Jane Smith, who the Monk had kidnapped from the past to help him identity the Magna Gral, to foil him.

In the Doctor Who series that the Doctor had some part in creating, (PROSE: Afterword [+]Loading...["Afterword (short story)"], Stop, Thief! [+]Loading...["Stop, Thief!

Behind the scenes
Casting
- Actors considered for the role of the Fourth Doctor included Michael Bentine, Bernard Cribbins, Graham Crowden, Fulton Mackay and Jim Dale.[1] Tom Baker was cast based on his role as the villain Koura in The Golden Voyage of Sinbad.
Costume influences
Bottom: Cover of AUDIO: The Demon of Paris, which reflected on the painting.
- According to the creators of the show and Tom Baker, the Doctor's look was originally based on paintings and posters by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec of his friend, Aristide Bruant, a singer and nightclub owner whose trademark was a black cloak and long red scarf.[2]
In popular culture
- The Fourth Doctor's distinctive appearance and mannerisms have made him a target for affectionate parody, such as on The Simpsons, Futurama and Robot Chicken.
- In Hugo 2: Whodunnit?, a computer game, the player's character can save the Fourth Doctor from a Dalek, who in return gives the player his sonic screwdriver.
- The Fourth Doctor was frequently impersonated by impressionist Jon Culshaw on the radio and television series Dead Ringers. Even Barney Miller had an episode featuring an eccentric man claiming to be a time-traveller and wearing a long striped scarf.
- Archival footage of the Fourth Doctor's first title sequence was used in the Family Guy episode "Blue Harvest" to represent and parody Star Wars' hyperspace.
- Tom Baker, as the narrator of the series Little Britain, has referenced Doctor Who.Template:How
- In the book Return of the Bunny Suicides, there was a scene in which a bunny sits on top of the TARDIS with a noose around its neck as the Fourth Doctor runs into it, being chased by a Dalek.
- Peter Jackson wore a costume similar to the Fourth Doctor's when he played Derek in his film Bad Taste.
- On The Big Bang Theory, in the episode, "The Justice League Recombination", Stuart wears the Fourth Doctor's costume to a New Year's Eve costume party at his comic book shop.
- The video game Team Fortress 2 features the Fourth Doctor's scarf as a cosmetic for the Medic class. The scarf was renamed as the Chronoscarf, and was added in the 18 June 2014 update.
Reprising the role
- Originally intended as a major player in the 20th-anniversary special, The Five Doctors, Baker pulled out before production began, citing other obligations as his reasoning. The production team rewrote the scripts to give much of his role to the Fifth Doctor, and included the Fourth Doctor by making use of unbroadcast footage from Shada. A Madame Tussauds wax mannequin of his incarnation was used in publicity shots to keep the "five Doctors" concept afloat.
- In 1993, Baker was hired to play the Doctor full-on for the planned 30th Anniversary Special The Dark Dimension, but the special was cancelled and instead a small cameo for Dimensions in Time was shot instead. Around this time, he also introduced a VHS reconstruction of Shada, though not apparently in character as the Doctor. In 1997 he returned to the role in a more serious manner in the video game Destiny of the Doctors and in a Superannuation advertisement. He also appeared as Tom Baker as Fourth Doctor in the comedy docudrama Who on Earth is Tom Baker.
- Despite his hesitancy to play the role again, Baker made frequent appearances on DVD releases of his stories, recording audio commentaries for many and conducting on-camera interviews for others.
- In the 2000s, Baker made a tentative step towards reprising the role by agreeing to record audio books for BBC Audio, reading the texts from several Target novelisations from his era. Finally, in 2009, Baker agreed to return to the role of the Doctor in a dramatic context, performing the five-part Hornets' Nest story arc, again for BBC Audio, in which he was paired up with Richard Franklin reprising his character of Mike Yates.
- In March 2010, Baker announced on his official website that he was in discussions with Big Finish Productions to record Doctor Who audio dramas for the company.[3] Big Finish confirmed this on 3 June 2010.[4] A few days later it was also confirmed that Baker would be doing additional stories for BBC Audio, AUDIO: Demon Quest, released at end of 2010.[5]
- Prior to the cancellation of The Sarah Jane Adventures following the death of Elisabeth Sladen, Tom Baker was briefly considered to play a role in the series, specifically in a planned 2011 Christmas special entitled Miracle on Bannerman Road, in which he would portray a mysterious traveller. (DWMSE 32)
- In 2013, Baker made a cameo appearance in the 50th anniversary story, The Day of the Doctor, as the Curator of the National Gallery.
Romances
Since the fourth incarnation was the youngest in appearance at the time, he therefore appeared closer in age to his companions. This led to concerns being expressed of possible "hanky panky in the TARDIS", a term often used in the tabloid press to suggest the impression of off-screen dalliances between the various Doctors and their young, female companions.
Perhaps to address this, according to the Information Text commentary on the 2007 DVD release of The Stones of Blood, Baker generally tried to emphasise the asexuality of the character, apart from possible subtle romantic tension such as that with Sarah Jane Smith. Despite this, Baker was not above tossing in occasional visual jokes that suggested sexual tension.
For example, in The Stones of Blood, the Doctor and Romana have to huddle close in order to be within the confines of a transporter beam and enter what would, in normal circumstances, be seen as a romantic clinch, but neither character appears to recognise this. Likewise, the Doctor and Romana are forced into close proximity in The Ribos Operation when hiding from Graff Vynda-K and neither seem to recognise this as a romantic moment.
Secondary media, on the other hand, has often restrained less from romantic moments; particularly with Romana II. For instance, in the Short Trips story Special Occasions: 2. Do You Love Anyone Enough?, the Doctor gave Romana the last Rolo in the Universe for St Valentine's Day. In PROSE: The Well-Mannered War, the Doctor kissed Romana on the cheek.
Other matters
- Narratively, the Fourth Doctor is one of the few incarnations besides the Eighth Doctor who has encountered the mythology of the War in Heaven. However, these encounters are not original stories focused on him, but instead recontextualisations of certain serials within various stories of the Faction Paradox series. Pyramids of Mars, The Brain of Morbius, The Talons of Weng-Chiang, and Image of the Fendahl all became direct aftermaths of War or War preparation events.
- J. K. Woodward, who worked on the Star Trek crossover Assimilation², released pieces featuring the Fourth Doctor, having the image of a jelly baby gleaned from his mind in a mind meld by Spock, facing the Gorn captain, laughing with Data in the TARDIS, and standing within a Borg vessel.
