Seventh Doctor
Originally a man with the demeanor of an eccentric, light-hearted buffoon, the Seventh Doctor darkened into a mysterious, cunning manipulator to properly combat the return of Fenric. Though he delighted in humorous reverie, it was only the surface layer of his true nature. Beneath, he was a Machiavellian genius of frightful calibre who tactfully used his mind to control nearly all situations into reaching his personal favoured outcome. Despite this, he could also show profound warmth and affection to his companions, and built a strong bond with many of them.
Initially, the Seventh Doctor travelled with his predecessor's final companion, Melanie Bush. After several adventures with Mel, she left to travel with Sabalom Glitz. The Doctor then began adventuring with Ace, a troubled teenager from the 1980s. The Doctor did his best to help heal Ace's psychological wounds by helping her come to terms with her past misdeeds and fears. Though he initially planned to take Ace home, they ultimately travelled together for several years, only for their blossoming friendship to grow increasingly dark as secrets and death tore them apart.
He later became champion to the Eternal known as Time. The Doctor did many good deeds while under his title as Time's Champion. However, he also made bad deeds that cost him dearly. The aftermath left him tired and saddened, until he eventually began a lonely retirement from plotting. Though wearisome, he decided he would return to Gallifrey when the Time Lords needed his assistance. However, having grown complacent in his retirement, he let his guard down at the wrong time and paid for it with his life.
After many years of Machiavellian schemes and manipulation, the Seventh Doctor regenerated in San Francisco on 31 December 1999, following gunshot wounds and Dr Grace Holloway's subsequent exploratory surgery with a camera accidently clogging a vein.
Biography
Foreshadowing
The Valeyard offered to tell the Sixth Doctor of his next incarnation, whom he claimed was filled with "plots and schemes," all to "win a game that was never his to win." (AUDIO: Trial of the Valeyard)
Regeneration
The Sixth Doctor had attempted to avoid visiting the planet Lakertya while travelling with his companion, Mel, after he discovered an ominous source of radiation nearby. However, his future self in the same incarnation sent him a psychic signal to go to the planet anyway, as the Valeyard had previously implanted Nathemus inside his head without him knowing at the time, and eventually used them to succeed in replacing all Time Lords with his own existence.
Upon going to Lakertya, the TARDIS ran afoul of the radiation source, focused laser beams being fired from the Rani's TARDIS, and while Mel only passed out from being exposed to it, the radiation in particular the Rani had been weaponising was lethal to Time Lords. This exposure caused him to regenerate, removing the mental influence of the Nathemus when all his cells were made new again, including those of his mind. Having retroactively thwarted the Valeyard's master plan, the Sixth Doctor feared his demise, but the persona of the Seventh Doctor began to manifest and confirmed the regeneration was beginning, telling him it was far from being all over as his future self felt the timelines changing and was reassured. The Doctor's sixth persona dissolved into his seventh, both stating, "Our future is in safe hands." (AUDIO: The Brink of Death)
A separate account suggests the Sixth Doctor regenerated after being weakened fighting the Lamprey, (PROSE: Spiral Scratch) as the Rani bombarded his TARDIS with lasers. After the Rani forced the Doctor's TARDIS to land on the planet Lakertya, the Sixth Doctor regenerated (TV: Time and the Rani) after suffering a fatal head injury. (AUDIO: Zagreus)
The Doctor eventually grew to believe that the essence of his seventh incarnation had somehow caused his predecessor's regeneration in order to bring himself into being. (PROSE: Love and War, Head Games) However, he eventually dismissed this as a delusion brought about by an increasingly fragile and scared mind, realising that such a thing was impossible as all his incarnations were the same person rather than separate consciousness's. (PROSE: The Room With No Doors)
Post-regeneration
After the deadly laser attack, the TARDIS was caught in a tractor beam by the Rani and made a forced landing on Lakertya's surface, where she boarded it along with Urak, a Tetrap, who was instructed to leave Mel but take the Doctor to her laboratory by the Rani, who she wanted. As Urak turned over the Doctor's body, his regeneration completed, but he remained unconscious. Awaking in the Rani's lab, the Doctor immediately recognised the Rani, but was knocked out by Urak and injected with an amnesia-inducing drug, which allowed the Rani to trick him into assisting her with her project while pretending to be Mel.
Upon regaining conciseness again, the Doctor decided to choose a new look, noting to "Mel" that his new incarnation had regained a sense of haute couture. Returning to work on the Rani's machine, the Doctor found what was wrong with it, but caught the Rani on her lies when the real Mel snuck into the lab and revealed her identity.
Escaping, the Doctor found several geniuses from throughout time, including Einstein, had been captured to be components for the Rani's "time brain". Forced to be the final component, the Doctor made it backfire and explode because it could not handle his new personality. Rescuing the captives, the Doctor took them back to their own times. (TV: Time and the Rani)
Bemoaning that he had lost his predecessor's rainbow umbrella and the tartan scarf he chose for his new outfit, the Doctor went back to his wardrobe and obtained a new paisley scarf and whangee-handled umbrella. He also took the time to clean out the dimensionally transcendental pockets of his former self's patchwork coat, which were full of the contents of several lifetimes. He sat down to empty the pockets and put the contents into two piles, sorting between what was useful and what was not. While doing so, he considered the consequences of regeneration and assessed whether he was going to like his new body. (PROSE: The Useful Pile)

Shortly after leaving Lakertya, the Doctor dropped Mel off in London in 2007 to investigate a strange institute where the Celestial Intervention Agency were experimenting on humans, trying to graft TARDIS minds into their bodies. He was electrocuted and went insane. Fortunately, he had programmed the TARDIS to collect Mel and bring her to him. She helped restore his mind and sanity, before they confronted the medics of the Institute. (AUDIO: Unregenerate!)
The Doctor next travelled to the Paradise Towers so Mel cound enjoy its swimming pool. However, he found that the staff and residents residing within the Towers had all become either anarchist Kangs, cannibalistic Rezzies or pompous Caretakers. Accused of being the "Great Architect" that built the Towers, the Doctor was nearly killed by the Chief Caretaker, who wanted the Tower to run the way he wanted. However, the real architect, Kroagnon, a madman who killed anyone who moved into his creations to keep them perfect, transplanted his disembodied mind into the Chief. However, Kroagnon was pushed to his death down a lift shaft by Pex, the only male resident, who sacrificed himself to prove his bravery. (TV: Paradise Towers)
After meeting Emil Hartung in 1936 Cairo, (PROSE: Just War) the Doctor and Mel encountered the Quarks and left in the TARDIS to find some crystals highly poisonous to them. They arrived on the planet Puxatornee in the year 3090 where the inhabitants were struggling to live in peace with a race called the Slithergees who arrived there as refugees some 30 years ago, but were slowly taking over. The Doctor and Mel were forced by Stuart and Reed, two inhabitants, to travel back to 3060 to kill the president of Puxatornee before she could invite the Slithergees to stay. When they returned, history had changed so that the Slithergees went to war with the Puxatornees. The Doctor and Mel became separated with Stuart and Reed and captured, but realised that an alternative Mel and Doctor were due to land in the same place as them and quickly escaped back to their TARDIS and left.
Another Doctor and Mel landed successfully and were captured by this alternative history's Lt. Stuart and Reed and interrogated before the now-nonexistent history's Reed and Stuart arrived to help them escape, but were killed shortly afterwards. This history's Lt. Stuart and Reed arrived and forced the Doctor and Mel to take them back 30 years so that they could prevent the president's death and make peace with Slithergees. The Doctor and Mel took them back then to see their new history, which was the first version before he and this Mel showed up. Lt Stuart and Reed ordered the Doctor to take them back to yesterday to prevent their earlier selves from time travelling, but the Doctor couldn't as that history no longer existed. The Doctor worked out that an alternative version of himself and Mel were due to land any minute and took off in the TARDIS just as their earlier selves showed up. (AUDIO: Flip-Flop)
- The events above form part of a time loop which the Doctor and Mel were able to escape, but it wasn't clear which reality was the correct version or which Doctor and Mel were the real ones and which are the alternative versions. Presumably, the Doctor retained knowledge of both sets of events happening after they left Puxatornee due to him being a time-sensitive entity.
On a vacation attempt, the Doctor and Mel found themselves part of an alien expedition to 1959 to experience Earth rock n' roll. The Doctor found the last Chimeron queen, Delta, hiding with her newborn from the vicious Bannermen. The Doctor defeated the Bannermen by having their leader fall into his own trap, scaring them off. He also bid goodbye to Delta, her daughter and a human boy in love with Delta, Billy, as they departed for the Chimeron hatchery. (TV: Delta and the Bannermen)
The Doctor and Mel travelled to Pax Lucis, an English village occupied by Nazis. When a barrier cut the village off from the rest of the world, the Doctor discovered the Nazis had captured the Lightwanderer, a creature that fed on solar radiation. The Nazis plotted to create a barrier around Earth, which would destroy the planet. The Doctor gained an ally in the Nazis commander, Luthor, who sacrificed himself by blowing up "The weapon", saving Earth. (PROSE: Special Weapons)
On Iceworld, the Doctor and Mel joined Sabalom Glitz and Ace, a teenaged girl from 1980s Earth, to find the dragon living in the caverns. However, the dragon was a robot that guarded the Dragonfire, a powersource sought by Kane, an exile who wished to use it to power Iceworld, his prison ship, and return to his home planet to get revenge. However, Kane committed suicide when the Doctor showed him his planet no longer existed and that there was no-one for Kane to enact vengeance upon.
Preparing to leave, the Doctor found Mel wished to stay with Glitz, hoping to put him on the right path. On Mel's urging, the Doctor took Ace with him, promising to take "the long way" to get her home to Perivale. (TV: Dragonfire)

Ace and the Doctor were forced to land in a pocket universe built on 23 November, 1963, where they began to see images of the past and future of the TARDIS and discovered his past incarnation and Peri, who had also been brought there. After investigating further, he discovered the Decayed Master in the pocket universe, and found that he was the one behind his TARDIS malfunctioning and him being brought there. The Master had planted a bomb inside the humanoid Bob Dovie that would make a thought inside his head reality. When Bob entered the Fifth Doctor's TARDIS, he uttered the phrase "this is impossible," causing his TARDIS to explode across its own timeline.
The Sixth Doctor was able to bring the eight versions of the Doctor brought there together, using the dimensional stabiliser on the TARDIS owned by the Time Lord Straxus, and together the Doctors stopped the reality bomb from going off by showing Bob the inside of the TARDIS a year before, meaning that he would not consider it as impossible in 1963. Afterwards, the First Doctor turned off the automatic distress actions, which had brought all of the Doctors to the pocket dimension and had triggered the TARDIS' destruction, making it so none of that had happened.
He and Ace visited Bob Dovie at 59A Barnsfield Crescent in Totton, Hampshire on 23 November 1963. (AUDIO: The Light at the End)

While in the TARDIS, Ace found some overdue library books which the Doctor explained were from the library on Kar-Charrat. They travelled to the planet in order to return the books. The Doctor met an old friend, the chief librarian Elgin. The Daleks had used time corridor technology to deploy Daleks on every planet in the sector, and then waited hundreds of years to capture a time-sensitive Time Lord in order to penetrate the library's defences and allow them to seize the wetworks facility. They created a duplicate of Ace, which — replete with the DNA tag — would be able to get through the library's barriers. The Doctor was forced to surrender. The Daleks took him to the facility, and connected him to the machinery. They successfully download the entire knowledge of the Universe into a Dalek test subject. After the download was completed, the test-subject went out of control. Trying to allow the Doctor to re-enter the surrounded TARDIS, the Kar-Charratians killed the Daleks surrounding the time machine, but the duplicate Ace arrived. The duplicate was impervious to the rain unlike the Daleks, and threatened to kill Elgin. However, the chief cataloguer Prink rushed to his aid and attacked the duplicate, damaging it. The Doctor proceeded to the Wetworks with the intention of destroying it, using Ace to pretend to be her own duplicate to get past the Daleks. At the facility they encountered the Dalek test-subject and the Dalek Supreme arguing. Having obtained something of a conscience, the test-subject was refusing to destroy the wetworks facility against the Supreme's orders.

Shortly afterwards, the TARDIS materialised in Alaska in the 1930s with the Doctor wanting to investigate a strange ice formation. They soon met an expedition team looking for an ancient secret. The Doctor and Ace became separated from the rest of the group and were presumed dead. In reality, they had arrived at what appeared to be an island psychiatric facility and met a young poet who took them to the person in charge. There, the Doctor learned that the entire facility was in fact not a psychiatric complex, but a prison for the most dangerous being on planet Earth. (AUDIO: Lurkers at Sunlight's Edge)
The Doctor left Hex and Ace for a while, growing a Black TARDIS, and began travelling alone in it, encountering the Sandminer robots, (AUDIO: Robophobia) and meeting a copy of Nostradamus. (AUDIO: The Doomsday Quatrain) Eventually, he met his new companion, Sally Morgan on Earth, 2020, when they tried to defeat the Elder God, Mi'en Kalarash. (AUDIO: House of Blue Fire) After a while, Lysandra Aristedes began travelling in the Black TARDIS, where they continued to battle Elder Gods. (AUDIO: Black and White, Project Nirvana)
The Black TARDIS arrived in 5th century Denmark, where he sent the Black TARDIS, containing Sally and Lysandra, to the alternative 1989. (AUDIO: Black and White)
While he was travelling his Black TARDIS, he sent the White TARDIS, containing Hex and Ace to 1989 in an alternative timeline. He gave them the mission to investigate the Elder Gods, who created this timeline. They managed to defeat the Elders Gods, and restore the original timeline, just in time for a Black TARDIS to arrive and retrieve them. (AUDIO: Protect and Survive)
When they entered the Black TARDIS, they discovered Sally and Lysandra already there. Upon discovering this, they realised that the Doctor was travelling in both TARDISes, simultaneously. Hex, Ace, Sally and Lysandra then arrived in 5th century Denmark, where they met Beowulf, and faced an alien called Garundel. They discovered that the Doctor was previously in this location, but was kidnapped. After following the Doctor's clues and instructions, they retrieved an artefact called Weyland's shield, restored the original and destroy the Black TARDIS, on their way to locate the Doctor. (AUDIO: Black and White)
The TARDIS crew located the Doctor in a pocket universe which was under the control of Fenric. After releasing the Doctor, it was revealed that Fenric was playing a game against another Elder God called Weyland for control of Weyland's shield, which could grant omnipotence to an Elder God. It was also discovered that the TARDIS crew had been pawns of Weyland, used to help him win the game against Fenric, and Hex was destined to become the quintessential pawn in Weyland's plan, who prevented his death after being shot in Scutari. However, Hex managed to banish Weyland, and stop the game, but became possessed by Fenric. Hex sacrificed himself to prevent Fenric from permanently taking control and gaining power, saving the Doctor, Ace, Sally and Lysandra. (AUDIO: Gods and Monsters)

After receiving a warning from his fourth incarnation about a Time Lord demon called the Timewyrm, the Doctor, and Ace traced a time anomaly to the kingdom of Uruk in Ancient Mesopotamia, where they joined an expedition, led by Gilgamesh, ruler of Uruk, to a kingdom called Kish. The Doctor was kidnapped by followers of Ishta, the "goddess of Love and War", but was saved by Ace. He learnt she planned to influence the whole world with the use of radio transmitters. Sending Ace off to investigate scorpion-like Zuqaqip god Utnapishtin, he entered her inner sanctum and was captured by her. She planned to steal his mind for the knowledge of time travel. After Kish was attacked by a city-like spaceship operated by Ace and his Uruk allies, he tricked her into infecting herself with a Zuqaqip virus. Ishta survived, infiltrated his TARDIS and tortured his mind. The Doctor trapped her in the secondary control room and jettisoned it into the time vortex. After uniting Kish and Uruk, the Doctor was horrified to discover Ishta survived and was now a living time machine: he had created the powerful Timewyrm. Realising her powers could destroy time completely, the Doctor set off on a mission to locate and destroy her. (PROSE: Timewyrm: Genesys)
In pursuit of the dangerous creature he had created, the Doctor and Ace arrived on an alternate version of 1950s Earth in a timeline where the Nazis had won World War II and were now rulers of the whole planet. They were accused of being resistance fighters and arrested by Anthony Hemmings. Escaping imprisonment and with the TARDIS, once again, in the posessions of Adolf Hitler and Nazis. [statement unclear] He witnessed a Reichsinspektor General being stabbed to death and was given an incriminating package before the General died. Posing as him, the Doctor began working for General Otto Strasser in order to gather infomation on the new timeline. A vengeful Anthony exposed him and Ace's true identity. Escaping in the TARDIS, the Doctor went to 1926 and gained Hitler's trust by giving him the faith to begin World War II. He then travelled to 1936, where he was hailed by the Nazis and Hitler as a "hero", becoming his personal advisor. Realising Timewyrm was controlling Hitler's mind to change history, the Doctor visited him at points when the Nazis invaded various countries across the world. However, he discovered amongst Hitler's closest allies was his old Time Lord enemy, the War Chief. He stopped the War Chief from stealing his remaining regenerations, killing Ace in a human sacrifice ceremony and foiled his plan to build a Nazi army to conquer the galaxy.
After destroying the War Chief and his new "War Lords", the Doctor visited Hitler in 1940 and drove Timewyrm out of his body, banishing her into the time vortex. However, he knew that he had only weakened her - and she would return for revenge. (PROSE: Timewyrm: Exodus)

After taking Ace to the funeral of her friend, Julian Milton in Perivale, the Doctor went to the planet Heaven in 2570. There, he helped Professor Bernice Summerfield open the way to a Heavenite observatory where he deciphered the writing on the telescope and a note stored inside a dead Heavenite's body. While entering Puterspace, he was attacked by the Vacuum Church, working in league with the Hoothi, and put inside his worst memory from the slow death of his third incarnation. With the help of the psychic Traveller, Christopher, the Doctor and Ace were freed.
Realising the danger the falling Hoothi fibres would cause, the Doctor ordered Benny to quickly unearth the observatory, which could detect otherwise invisible Hoothi spheres. Knowing the pyrokinetic, Jan Rydd, whom Ace had fallen in love with, had been affected by the fibres, the Doctor ordered him to leave Ace behind while he went to the sphere himself. Ace followed nonetheless and realised the Doctor's plans. The Doctor, after using Brother Phaedrus of the Vacuum Church to summon the sphere to Puterspace, used Christopher to send a message to Jan on board so he could ignite the sphere.
Ace finished off the last Hoothi herself, while the Doctor ordered Brother Phaedrus to leave. Ace left the Doctor, disgusted by the way he sacrificed her love to save billions. Benny agreed to travel with the Doctor in time and space, under the condition that he didn't treat her the way he did Ace. Benny and the Doctor released the last of Heaven's owls on 20th century Earth. (PROSE: Love and War, AUDIO: Love and War)

The Doctor teamed up with all of his other incarnations to save Gallifrey from destruction at the end of the Last Great Time War, but lost all memory of the event due to the timelines not being synchronised. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
After reconfiguring the console room, the TARDIS brought the Doctor once more to Artaris where he encountered Lord Sutton, who was in fact the Warlord Grayvorn. Grayvorn had been reduced to a spirit after their last encounter and had managed to possess a person before sculpting Excelis once more into a war-driven dictatorship. He used the souls of the Excelis people to power his “meat puppet” army. The Doctor used the Relic to free the souls, but Grayvon activated a self-destruct which would destroy Artaris. The Doctor tried to help, but was forced to run away and escape, leaving the people of Artaris to die in the explosion. (AUDIO: Excelis Decays)
Travelling to the Forge in hopes of destroying it completely, the Doctor found his sixth incarnation assisting Nimrod and reluctantly helped the Forge fend off a telepathic transporting alien incursion. His predecessor's arm was lost in the battle which confirmed that this Doctor was a fake. The fake Doctor explained that Nimrod used DNA samples from the real Doctor when they last met to clone the Doctor, Project: Lazarus, in an attempt to learn the secrets of regeneration. The Doctor initiates a plan to blow up the Forge, but the Lazarus Doctor was the one that delivers the final blow, killing everyone in the base. (AUDIO: Project: Lazarus)
After "burning back into existence" on the planet, Perfugium, it is revealed that the Doctor made a deal with Death in which she would allow the Master to live a normal life for ten years only if the Doctor would kill him afterwards. On Perfugium, ten years in the Master’s future, where he found his old friend, amnesiac, entertaining guests. The personification of Death, Jade – the Master’s housekeeper, revealed herself and told everyone that according to a contract between her and the Doctor, he was supposed to kill the Master. The Doctor couldn’t and made another deal with Death after witnessing the Master’s friend Victor killing his wife. If the Master could make the right decision, then they’d be free, but the Master struggled and was offered one more deal by Death – his life, as her servant, or the life of Victor’s wife Jacqueline whom he was in love with. In the end, Death took the Master and sent the Doctor away to face punishment for not holding up his end of their bargain. His task: To assassinate an innocent. He travelled to the destination and encountered a sniper about to take his shot, interrupted him and recounted his adventure. The Doctor refused to kill his target, but discovered that the sniper was in fact Death and knew he wouldn’t be able to. Before departing, Death proclaimed that they would meet again, and knew his inevitable fate. Alone, the Doctor vowed to save his old friend...one day. (AUDIO: Master)

Millions of years BC, Ice Warrior Arakssor led like-minded Ice Warriors in an attempt to take over the Martian government. The Doctor stopped him with the help of Geldar, and Arakssor and his band of war criminals were sentenced to life imprisonment in Antarctica. During a skirmish in the prison, an Ice Warrior attacked the prison trying to escape, trapping everyone in suspended animation beneath the ice. In 2012, an amnesiac Doctor and the Ice Warriors were unearthed by a human expedition led by Lord Barset. Arakssor quickly took over his old prison and planned to power the prison's sonic cannon to heat the Earth's greenhouse gases away. This would make Earth his "fortress" that Martian life could thrive in, and cause the human race to be "frozen out of existence". As his memories began to return, the Doctor commandeered the helicopter, Blade One with the physicist, Genevieve Marceau and crashlanded near the dig site after Ssrongar attacked the helicopter with a sonic cannon. The Doctor reactivated Geldar's distress signal and boosted it to contact a Martian warship from the other side of the galaxy. The Martian commander, Red 0089, discovered the message, and, upon recognising Arakssor, bombarded the prison from orbit, stopping Arakssor. The Doctor and Geni quickly rushed to safety in the TARDIS as the rogue Martians were wiped out, and Geni was dropped off back on the Fortitude. (AUDIO: Frozen Time)
Still alone, the Doctor arrived on a space station that was orbiting the quarantined planet, Antikon. It had fallen victim a virulent disease that had killed millions of people, where he encountered Dar Traders again. (AUDIO: The Death Collectors)
On the planet Tasak, the Doctor was preparing tea when he noticed an android named Temetre on his scanner. Temetre was tracking a strange signal, just like him so they formed an alliance. The two of them travelled across Argent City via the monorail transport system to the Grand Citadel of the House of Argentia where they discovered a cue plot and Sara, the person Temetre’s was there to rescue. Before they could leave, they were arrested as spies and brought to the banquet hall where a Cyberman statue was unveiled. The Doctor tried to warn the people of the dangers, but they ignored him. Afterwards, Argentia is taken over by the leaders of Sarkota, but eclipsed when the Silver, the core of the planet’s technology repository is revealed to be a squadron of Cybermen. They awaken and begin to convert the planet’s inhabitants. The Doctor manages to lead them into a trap before blowing the whole repository up. (AUDIO: Kingdom of Silver)
Not long after, the Doctor re-encountered Elizabeth Klein, who was living in British Kenya during the Mau Mau Uprising in 1953. Despite their animosity, they worked together to solve the mystery of the virus and stop the Cheylis plot to use Earth as a testing ground for biological warfare. The Doctor, knowing Klein would continue to pose a threat to history, insisted she accompany him on his TARDIS travels so he could keep an eye on her. (AUDIO: A Thousand Tiny Wings)
Immediately upon entering the TARDIS, Klein recounted what caused her to use the TARDIS that resulted in the destruction of her timeline. It turned out that the Doctor; an alternate Seventh Doctor, orchestrated his regeneration into the Eighth to manipulate Klein into using the TARDIS and re-rewrite history. (AUDIO: Klein's Story)
After travelling together for a while, the Doctor and Klein arrived on an insectoid planet and met the Vrill, who communicated through smell, although the TARDIS' translation circuits helped the duo in understanding the Vrill. In the midst of a war, Klein took her chance of revenge against the Doctor, stealing his TARDIS and abandoned him on the planet. (AUDIO: Survival of the Fittest)
Klein used the Doctor's TARDIS to rewrite history so that the Nazis had won the war. She captured this new timeline's Doctor and imprisoned him on the Moon. She helped the Galactic Reich conquer the Daleks and Sontarans and any other potential threats by travelling in time and informing the past. While visiting the Doctor, trying to find out where this version's TARDIS was, Klein, along with the rest of the Moonbase came under attack by a race of shark-like warriors. The Doctor had sent them there and supplied them with the necessary technology to destroy the base. Klein discovered that this alternate Doctor had retained the memories of her version's life as well. The two of them escaped in his TARDIS where the Doctor informed her that the Time Lords had tried her and found her guilty. She was erased from history, along with the alternate Doctor, restoring things to their correct order. Afterwards, the original Doctor paid a visit to UNIT where he encountered a different version of Klein who was now working there. (AUDIO: The Architects of History)
At some point, the Doctor arrived in the remains of the Drashani Empire, and met a mercenary called Vienna Salvatori, who was hired to capture the Doctor for a bounty payment. He later encountered an old enemy, Tenebris, who he had met in his sixth incarnation, on his second visit to the empire on Cawdor. However, he discovered that Tenebris was, in fact, Kylo Sorsha, a prince he had left stranded on the planet, Sharnax when he first arrived in the Drashani Empire, in his fifth incarnation. Sorsha plotted to take revenge against the Doctor for leaving him stranded on Sharnax, but the Doctor defeated him, and departed from the empire for the final time. (AUDIO: The Shadow Heart)
The Doctor visited the planet Spiridon again to oversee the destruction of the Daleks and the work done by Kalendorf. He soon realised that he would have to get involved and steer the events so that he could control them. He made a deal with the Daleks to help them achieve their invisibility without suffering from the light wave sickness in exchange for Karendorf’s safety. He completed the formula, but betrayed the Daleks at the last moment and exposed them and himself to the sickness. He managed to escape back to his TARDIS and refused to regenerate before collapsing on the floor. The TARDIS healed him and he dared the Daleks to catch him if they could. (AUDIO: Return of the Daleks)
The Doctor travelled to Pelachan where he discovered an artefact known as the Hand of All. This object contained a living story. The Doctor took it before going to combat another version of Nobody No-One, trapping him in the Hand inside his mind. He then travelled to the Forge and locked himself in a Time lord coffin and waited until he was found by Ace and his younger self. He warned them about Nobody No-One returning, thus releasing the Word Lord, but fell comatose afterwards only to wake up after his younger self had died defeating the Word Lord. He took it upon himself to bring Hex to Evelyn before he faded out of existence only to "burn back into existence" once Ace had rescued his younger self. (AUDIO: A Death in the Family)
The Doctor delivered a letter from deceased World War I soldier Ed, who he met in his sixth incarnation, to his wife a year after his death, (PROSE: Never Seen Cairo) bought a store in London, called "Takahashi's Treasure", encountered a housewife who had died years previously, (PROSE: Running on Empty) and met a young Claire Spencer. (AUDIO: The Word Lord)
The Doctor reunited with Raine Creevy and started travelling on and off with her. While in flight, the TARDIS was pulled into another dimension. It materialised on a barren planet when another TARDIS suddenly arrived as well, carrying a future incarnation of the Doctor. This Other Doctor was helping UNIT on Earth and warned about a mistake the Doctor was about to make and urged him not to help the Tolians, a race of aliens whose life energy was being drained away by a Node Stone. The Other Doctor departed, but the current Doctor failed to heed his warning and conjured up an energy syphon that would draw power from the very dimension. Once the Tolians were restored, they captured Raine and threatened to drop her off a cliff if the Doctor didn’t increase the output. Knowing that increasing the output would result in dimensional chaos of all dimensions, the Doctor still did as the Tolians demanded and opened up the syphon. He rescued Raine and jumped into the dimensional doorway, explaining that creatures from other dimensions would now be able to freely hop around. He and Raine wandered around the void until he instructed Raine to pick the dimensional lock with her mind.
She managed to open a door into another dimension, which consisted of a volcanic surface inhabited by molten-spewing spiders. The Doctor and Raine escaped one and sought refuge in a dormant volcano until they were chased out by more spiders. They noticed another dimensional door which the arachnids were using to cross over to Earth and followed, unaware that the Other Doctor, being assisted by the Doctor's friend/advesary Elizabeth Klein, was preparing to banish the spiders that had already escaped to Earth back. Thankfully, Klein noticed Raine and the current Doctor before the Other Doctor rescued them. The current Doctor learned that UNIT had confiscated his future self’s TARDIS to force him to help them fend off a variety of dimensional escapees.
The Doctors were detained at UNIT because the members of UNIT, suspicious of their identity and motive, found it difficult to trust them. The Doctors pleaded to have the second Node Stone, in Klein’s possession, to close up the breach, but Klein refused. Before long, two more sets of creatures, floating octopi with faces on each tentacle and flying metallic cubes that self-destructed, appeared in Las Vegas and Tokyo. The Other Doctor travelled with Raine to sort out the octopi while the current Doctor and Klein dealt with the cubes. The Doctor discovered the cubes weakness – fire. After the situation had been resolved, the cubes joined together in a last desperate attempt to blow the dimensional doorway to their dimension bigger.
Seeing no other way, the Other Doctor was called in to help, but demanded the release of his TARDIS and the Node Stone before he helped them. Reluctantly, Klein did as the Other Doctor ordered, but the Doctor flew off before suddenly arriving in his TARDIS to fix the situation. It turned out that he’d time travelled back to this second after he arrived in England. UNIT started shooting at the Doctor until he doubled back into his TARDIS, followed by his younger self. Inside, the Doctor realised that the Other Doctor was really a newly regenerated Master in disguise. The Master had pretended to be the Doctor and planted the first Node Stone on Earth and conning the Doctor into opening the dimensional doorway so that he could power up the Toolians and assume mastery over every dimension. The Master captured the Doctor and hooked him up to the Node Stone, but the Doctor, with the help of footage his companions had that showed the Master planting the first Node Stone helped convince the Tolians to betray the Master and restore the dimensions. The Master managed to escape in the confusion. Afterwards, the Doctor left with Raine but not before leaving Klein a space-time telegraph to contact him, should she need his help again. (AUDIO: UNIT Dominion)
The Doctor reunited with Nimrod, and had been connected to the main Forge computer, Oracle. Nimrod was now the new leader of the Forge. The Doctor left a syringe containing the Twilight cure beside Nimrod, which would remove his vampirism. However, considering the dessicated state he was in, only the vampire DNA had kept him alive, and using the cure would cause his death. The Doctor departed, leaving it up to Nimrod whether he uses the cure or not. (PROSE: Twilight's End)

Search for the Persuasion machine
The Doctor sensing his end approaching to this body became afraid that whatever man came after him wouldn't be strong enough to do what he did, that he wouldn't be willing to go as far as he had gone, so he started to do whatever he could to seek out evil in the universe wherever he could find it and shut it down while he still could. To this end the Doctor started to monitor interstellar communications across thousands of worlds, the wireless communications of a multitude of law enforcement organisations, private correspondence of goverments and the criminal underworlds by persuading the TARDIS to detect them. The Doctor detected that Kurt Schalk in 1945 had become the most wanted man in the universe so he set himself to find out why, to this end he also discovered that Elizabeth Klein's current self was somehow connected to Schalk so he travelled to the 1990's to take her with him on this trip, he managed to make Klein follow him from a pub into his TARDIS and take her along without her consent while also unbeknownst to him taking along junior science officer Will Arrowsmith with them.
Travelling to Düsseldorf in 1945 they met a Nazi named Lucas Hinterberger who was a colleague of Schalk, opening up immediately to Klein and raising suspicion on her and curiosity in the Doctor, he told them about beings they called the Struwwelpeter (based on their appearance and relating to a German children story) and offered to take them to Schalk, while searching the Doctor explained his reasons to Klein who understood his reasoning. Finding Schalk they also came face to face with the Struwwelpeter, godlike beings form another universe who considered this one to be evil and decadent whose true names were the Shepherd and Shepherdess, they gave Schalk the knowledge to built a device known as the persuasion machine so that they could manipulate all beings in the universe to submit to their will. The Doctor trapped them in a planet called New Peerlesness, a prision planet near Kasterborous, the Doctor materialised his TARDIS around the planet and kept it in the star chamber so that he could keep an eye on them. While the Doctor dealt with them the Klecht entity took Schalk forcing the TARDIS crew to search for him. (AUDIO: Persuasion)
After discovering an intergalactic commercial hosted by an old passing acquaintance regarding a weapons auction, the Doctor realised it was auctioning Schalk alongside a prototype of the persuasion machine. Because the Doctor feared suspicion from Garundel if he sent Klein and Will undercover in order for them to locate Schalk and steal him before he and the device got sold. While they were investigating the auction the Doctor waited in the TARDIS for them to enable him to land the TARDIS inside the compound, Will gave the signal and he landed the TARDIS but got intercepted by Garundel's assistant Ziv who captured Will and locked him out of the store room which resulted to be a space ship. At that moment the auction got invaded by the Sontarans, he encountered Garundel who forced him to go in pursuit of her assistant and Will. He learned from Garundel that Schalk didn't had enough knowledge of the machine, when they arrived the Sontaran invading fleet caught up with them, Klein with them, they fired at them but they escaped to the ship reuniting with Will, Will negotiated Klein's exchange and the Doctor discovered that the man they were selling was not actually Schalk but was indeed the man they met on Minos, however he was dead. The Doctor used the prototype of the machine to persuade Garundel to go with Ziv and rescue Klein, the Doctor explained to Will that the body they found was actually Hinterberger, Schalk used the machine to persuade Hinterberger he was Schalk and then used it on himself to believe himself Hinterberger. The Doctor boarded the Sontaran ship and discovered a third party involved, reuniting with Klein and Will and left back to Minos in 1945 with the prototype revealing to Klein the DNA connection to Schalk. (AUDIO: Starlight Robbery)
The Doctor and crew returned to Minos in 1945 to discover that the ones associated with Garundel were the Daleks. The Doctor travelled to Lemuria where he was given the location of Schalk: the planet Azimuth a planet previously visited by him and Ace where they seemingly freed it from Dalek occupation.
In Azimuth they discovered it had become illegal to mention the Daleks and remember the occupation, Will got captured by the police when the Doctor mentioned them by name out loud. The Doctor and Klein got an audience with a prisoner whom the Doctor identified as a clone of Schalk, specifically a Dalek clone. They concluded that the Daleks were still in Azimuth hidden, the Doctor revealed to Klein that there was a blood connection with Schalk so she asked to travel to 1945 to discover the truth. Will returned to them and told them about a man called Father that wanted a meeting with the Doctor, he went to the meeting alone and discovered Father was actually Davros who asked him about the location of the Daleks, something neither of them knew. Both Davros and the Doctor were taken to the Daleks and Schalk, there the Doctor learned that Klein travelled in the TARDIS to three weeks before they first arrived in Düsseldorf and discovered that Schalk was her biological father and a woman named Elizabeth Volkenrath her biological mother, engineered to operate the persuasion machine. At that moment Elizabeth returned in the TARDIS and seemingly reversed to her nazi self willing to become the tool for the persuasion machine. A man called Falkus entered the room and revealed himself as a genetic successor of Davros and ordered the Daleks to exterminate Schalk, Falkus wanted to undo the actions the Doctor had done through time and space, Davros interrupted to no end but Elizabeth forced the Daleks and Falkus to die with the power of the machine. Will returned with the Shepard who threatened to kill them, Elizabeth used the power of the machine to kill it but died in the process. Will and him realised that the Elizabeth who died wasn't Klein but her mother so they travelled to 1945 tracking her to Russia where Klein had been trapped, he apologised to Klein for judging her for her alternative timeline, when Will told them that they were surrounded by the red army the Doctor excitedly called it an adventure.

Nearing the end
Info from The Sirens of Time & The Eight Doctors needs to be added
The Doctor arrived at the largest Reclaim Station in the Easto Cluster in search of fluid links for his TARDIS. He and Two’Mark, the mechanic, were approached by a small robot who recognised the Doctor. The two of them then headed back to his TARDIS where the Doctor activated a holo-glyph control and started to play back a recording made by Sara many years ago, specifically about how she was prosecuted and condemned to live inside the small robot that he met just. Afterwards, the Doctor offered to pay Two Mark for the fluid link, but the engineer was in the mood to be generous and allowed him to have it on the house. (AUDIO: Keepsake)
Becoming weary of his travelling alone, the Doctor decided to create his own robotic companion, Catherine Broome, as a means of company. The Doctor and Cat travelled together for a while, without Cat realising that she was in fact an android, until arriving on Haven in the 28th century. It was here that the Doctor revealed Cat's true nature in time to avert a catastrophe on a spaceship. In order to prevent the destruction of the ship, and the deaths of many colonists, Cat travelled through hazardous corridors to the control to save the lives of hundreds. (PROSE: Companion Piece)
Feeling nostalgic, the Doctor travelled to 1979 Paris, where he watched the Fourth Doctor and Romana do battle with Scaroth. Whilst there, he obtained a sketch of Romana that his fourth incarnation threw away. (PROSE: Notre Dame du Temps)
Death
The Doctor learned that the Master had been tried on Skaro, where he had been found guilty and executed for his crimes. In his last wish, the Master had requested that the Doctor were to transport his remains back to Gallifrey. The Doctor, knowing that the Master was just as much a threat in death as in life, agreed to stow away his ashes safely. However, en route back to Gallifrey, the Master, using the power of a Deathworm Morphant, escaped from his ashes' container and damaged the inner workings of the TARDIS console. The Doctor was forced to make an emergency landing in San Francisco on 30 December 1999.
No sooner had he left the TARDIS to find his bearings, the Doctor was caught in the middle of a San Francisco gang war and shot, once straight through the shoulder and twice in the leg. The Doctor failed to get Chang Lee to stop the Master from leaving the TARDIS before falling unconscious.
Taken to Walker General Hospital, the bullets were found to have caused only minor injuries. However, the medial team assumed that he was fibrillating and that the X-rays showing his two hearts was a double exposure. Cardiologist Dr. Grace Holloway undertook exploratory surgery to "fix" his abnormal heartbeat. Waking up just as Holloway began the surgery, the Doctor tried to stop the surgery by explaining his non-terrestrial origins and he told Holloway he needed a beryllium atomic clock, but the surgeons quickly try to put him under anesthetic. He tries to warn them about the Master, but the surgeons dismiss the Doctor as confused and unconscious talk brought on by the anesthetic.
When Holloway got lost in the Doctor's strange cardiovascular system, she killed him when she damaged his circulatory system with a probe. Though they attempted to revive him, their attempts failed and they pronounced him dead. Unlike his previous deaths, this incarnation did not regenerate until several hours later in the hospital morgue; his successor attributed his delayed regeneration to having been under anaesthesia at the time of his "death". The hospital staff locked the Doctor's deceased body inside a cold chamber, with a "John Doe" toe tag attached and a sheet placed over his head.
The Doctor contorted and crackled with electrical energies as the regeneration process mended his injures and gave him new life in the form of his eighth incarnation, despite a probe and stitches still lodged within his body. (TV: Doctor Who)
Undated adventures
- The Seventh Doctor attended the funeral of Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, as did all of his other incarnations. (PROSE: The Gift)
- River Song met the Seventh Doctor, calling him "surprisingly Scottish." She had his memory wiped with mnemosine recall-wipe vapour so the timeline would remain intact. (GAME: The Eternity Clock)
- At some point during his travels with Mel, the Doctor visited the planet Nocturne. (AUDIO: Nocturne)
- The Seventh Doctor, sporting a beard, met Honoré Lechasseur, who described him as a "small Scottish doctor". (PROSE: The Cabinet of Light)
Alternative timelines
In an alternative timeline, the Doctor and Ace were captured in Colditz Castle in October 1944. When they tried to escape, Ace was killed, and left behind her walkman. This provided the Nazis with laser technology, which they exploited to win the Second World War. Immediately afterwards, the Doctor returned to Germany in 1955, where he was shot by Nazi soldiers. He later regenerated into an alternative version of his eighth incarnation. (AUDIO: Colditz, Klein's Story)
In another alternative timeline, the Doctor was able to save Jan Rydd and his fellow Travellers on Heaven in 2570. In a third alternative timeline, the Doctor was beheaded by an Ice Warrior on Peladon in 3985. (PROSE: So Vile a Sin)
Psychological profile
Personality
The Seventh Doctor was originally light-hearted and prone to clownish behaviour, which masked his intellect and courage. (TV: Time and the Rani, Paradise Towers, The Greatest Show in the Galaxy) However, as he matured, he became grumpy, melancholy and manipulative; He became a master manipulator who saw the battle between good and evil as a game of chess and everyone around him as pawns in the game of fighting evil. (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks, Silver Nemesis, The Curse of Fenric)
While previous incarnations would stumble upon trouble by happenstance, the seventh incarnation actively sought out villains to vanquish and dictatorships to dethrone. (TV: The Happiness Patrol)
Being the most dangerous of the Doctors, (AUDIO: Persuasion) he would see only the "bigger picture" rather than the world before him, devastating Ace by labeling her an "emotional cripple" to weaken Fenric's power by making her abandon her belief in him. (TV: The Curse of Fenric) However, he was not totally unfeeling when it came to the "bigger picture", as he appeared apprehensive about his decision to destroy Skaro, (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks) and was genuinely agonised that he had to convince Ace that he did not care about her. (TV: The Curse of Fenric)
Despite his manipulative actions, such as using psychic powers to make Mel leave with Sabalom Glitz, (PROSE: Head Games) the Seventh Doctor did care for his companions. (TV: Battlefield; AUDIO: The Fearmonger) He had a paternal relationship with Ace, which soured when Ace found herself unable to deal with the Doctor's growing emotional coldness.[source needed] She believed that he had the "deepest, saddest eyes", (AUDIO: The Prisoner's Dilemma) and even told the Doctor that she loved him. (AUDIO: Signs and Wonders)
Although his more whimsical tendencies disappeared over time, the Doctor maintained a fondness for idiosyncratic speeches that occasionally referred to literature, ordinary places and even food and drink amidst the weightier concerns on his mind. (TV: Survival) Other times, he would somberly reflect the ramifications of time, and the consequences of interfering in history. (TV: Dragonfire, Remembrance of the Daleks)
He "couldn't stand" burned toast, loathed bus stations as "terrible places full of lost luggage and lost souls", and also hated unrequited love, tyranny and cruelty. (TV: Ghost Light)
In direct contrast to his previous incarnation, the Seventh Doctor was opposed to violence of any sort, although he proved capable of rendering an opponent unconscious with a touch. (TV: Battlefield, Survival) While he was completely against the use of firearms, (TV: The Happiness Patrol) the Doctor was willing to use a Tissue Compression Eliminator to defend himself against Death's Head. (COMIC: The Crossroads of Time)
While his human counterpart fell in love with Joan Redfern, (PROSE: Human Nature) the Doctor himself was decidedly celibate. (AUDIO: Bang-Bang-A-Boom!) He could also be critical of human nature, stating that humans had "the most amazing capacity for self-deception, matched only by [their] ingenuity when trying to destroy [themselves]", (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks) and that "among all the varied wonders of the universe, [there was] nothing so firmly clamped shut as the military mind". (TV: Battlefield)
Towards the final years of his life, the Doctor decided to retire from his niche of manipulation. Feeling guilty and tired from his plotting, he acknowledged he had lived past his prime and would soon regenerate. He feared that his next incarnation would not want to take up the helm and continue plans that he had set in motion, and thus put all his affairs in order to leave nothing unsung when his time drew to a close. (AUDIO: Persuasion)
The Seventh Doctor was generally disliked by his other incarnations. (AUDIO: The Shadow of the Scourge) The Fifth Doctor was repulsed by his manipulative nature, (PROSE: Cold Fusion) and the Sixth Doctor told Evelyn Smythe that his successor was "always blowing up planets", (AUDIO: A Death in the Family) and that he was "not looking forward to that." (AUDIO: Arrangements for War) The Eleventh Doctor described his seventh incarnation as "probably one of [his] more circumspect periods." (AUDIO: Shockwave)
The Eighth Doctor came to view his immediate predecessor's manipulative nature with disdain, telling Lucie Miller that he was "the man with the master plan" who arranged the destruction of his enemies and the toppling of dictatorships in order to serve the greater good, to the point where he began to countenance sacrificing the lives of the few to save the many. (AUDIO: The Resurrection of Mars)
Iris Wildthyme described the Doctor as "a portentous little feller, swaggering around, thinking he's got all the world's darkest secrets under his hat." (PROSE: The Scarlet Empress) Brigadier General Adrienne Kramer described him as "a manipulative little weirdo who was always up to something behind [her] back." (PROSE: Vampire Science) When she encountered the Seventh Doctor shortly before her death, Evelyn Smythe criticised him for his scheming, manipulative nature. (AUDIO: A Death in the Family)
The Reborn Master once described the Seventh Doctor as a "tiresome little man with [an] umbrella", (AUDIO: Eyes of the Master) while Alan Fitzgerald, a summer intern at the Gogglebox, believed that the Seventh Doctor knew everything. (AUDIO: The Gathering)
Nearing the end of his life, the Doctor grew depressed, but became determined to enjoy every minute of his current incarnation after being saved from an Eight Leg by the Eighth Doctor. After the Eight Doctor warned him of a trap by the Bruce Master, the Seventh Doctor decided not to think about it, and let fate decide when and how his life would end, instead of despairing over being alone. (PROSE: The Eight Doctors)
After getting shot in a gang shootout in San Francisco, the Doctor spent his last lucid moments desperately trying to warn Dr. Grace Holloway not to operate on him, proclaiming his need to stop the Bruce Master and, after succumbing to sedation, screaming in agony when the operation dealt fatal damage to him. (TV: Doctor Who) Holloway noted that the Doctor seemed "very clear, very determined and very powerful" while also looking "very serious but also very frightened of something", and felt that he was "rarely afraid of anything". (PROSE: Doctor Who) The Doctor later recalled his demise as being "undignified", and expressed annoyance that he "didn't see [that one] coming". (AUDIO: Zagreus)
Habits and quirks
Speaking with a Scottish accent, the Seventh Doctor occasionally rolled his 'R's and emphasised his 'P's and 'L's. (TV: Paradise Towers, Delta and the Bannermen, The Greatest Show in the Galaxy)
The Doctor was a consummate fan of chess, to the point of treating his companions and enemies as pieces on a chess board. (TV: The Curse of Fenric) Despite his tendency toward a dark personality, the seventh incarnation was known for his use of words to resolve problems instead of violence. (TV: Dragonfire, Remembrance of the Daleks, Silver Nemesis, Battlefield, Ghost Light, Survival)
A habit occasionally displayed by the seventh incarnation was a tendency to mangle and combine Earth idioms. (TV: Time and the Rani, Delta and the Bannermen) After Mel described the habit as "really annoying," the Doctor promised that he would try to stop doing it. (AUDIO: Bang-Bang-A-Boom!)
As he met new people, the Doctor often raised his hat to greet them, smiling as he did so.[source needed] He also collected pins, simply out of the enjoyment of doing so. (PROSE: Lucifer Rising)
Skills
The Seventh Doctor was a grand manipulator, often utilising his choice of words to persuade others into a decision of his choosing, (TV: Paradise Towers, The Happiness Patrol) or strategising an unscrupulous scheme to defeat his adversaries. (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks, The Curse of Fenric) Something of a showman, the Doctor was an adept physical performer, and deployed a repertoire of magic tricks, illusions and escape artistry as part of his plans. (TV: The Greatest Show in the Galaxy)
Despite his stature, the Doctor was capable of both directly and indirectly taking control of situations involving strangers, using his greater intelligence to assess and direct events. (TV: The Happiness Patrol) While he loathed violence, the Doctor also showed a skill at unarmed combat, being able to briefly overpower a judo trained Melanie Bush and a Cheetah virus infected Master. (TV: Time and the Rani, Survival)
The Doctor also showed a knack for playing the spoons as a musical instrument, (TV: Time and the Rani, The Greatest Show in the Galaxy; AUDIO: Colditz, Afterlife) though this was seen less as he matured. (AUDIO: Master) Representing Earth in lieu of Nicky Newman, he won the 309th Intergalactic Song Contest by playing the spoons. (AUDIO: Bang-Bang-A-Boom!)
The Doctor used eye-fixation hypnotism to control the minds of Peter Warmsly and Pat Rowlinson to convince them to evacuate Gore Crow Hotel. (TV: Battlefield)
Appearance
Info about the Doctor's physical appearance and facial features needs to be added
These omissions are so great that the article's factual accuracy has been compromised. Check out the discussion page and revision history for further clues about what needs to be updated in this article.
While he had a full set of hair after his regeneration, (TV: Time and the Rani) he allowed his greying hair to grow out into tufts on the sides of his head, while it thinned a bit at the top of his scalp, by the end of his life. (TV: Doctor Who)
Peri Brown described him as a "kooky little guy in a weird pullover". (AUDIO: The Veiled Leopard)
Clothing
The Doctor always wore a white colonial-styled Panama hat, with a paisley hat band and an upturned brim. (TV: Time and the Rani, Battlefield, Doctor Who)
To begin with, the Doctor wore an off-white safari-styled jacket, with a red paisley handkerchief in the left pocket. The Doctor initially wore a tartan scarf under his lapels, (TV: Time and the Rani) but later switched to a paisley one. (TV: Paradise Towers) He also wore a yellow pullover with turquoise zigzag lines and red question marks, sometimes tucking it into his sand-coloured tweed plaid trousers in order to attach a pair of red braces over it. Under the pullover, he wore a white shirt with red tie. He wore white and brown brogued spectator shoes. (TV: Time and the Rani)
When the Doctor's personality began to change, his outfit changed alongside it. His jacket, hat band, handkerchief, scarf and tie became darker, varying between shades of burgundy and brown. (TV: Battlefield, Ghost Light)
As Time's Champion, he kept alternating between outfits, until, during his travels with Ace and Benny, he removed his pullover and replaced it with a new linen suit. (PROSE: White Darkness)
By the end of his life, the Doctor wore a light brown tweed jacket, with a red patterned waistcoat and a black and brown, zigzag patterned tie. (TV: Doctor Who)
The Seventh Doctor died wearing surgical drapes. (TV: Doctor Who)
Umbrellas
After his regeneration stabilised, the Doctor took to carrying around an umbrella as part of his day-to-day outfit, whether the occasion called for it or not. (TV: Time and the Rani, Paradise Towers, Delta and the Bannermen, Dragonfire)
He initially carried his previous incarnation's multi-coloured umbrella, but neglected to retrieve it from the Rani's TARDIS after the events on Lakertya. (TV: Time and the Rani) Fortunately, the TARDIS wardrobe provided him with a suitable replacement; (PROSE: The Useful Pile) a black umbrella with a whangee handle. (TV: Paradise Towers)
After his black umbrella was damaged, (AUDIO: The Warehouse) the Doctor acquired a new umbrella, with an elaborate handle in the shape of a large red question mark. (TV: Delta and the Bannermen) The handle was detachable, hiding a secret compartment with a vial of Time Lord restorative, disguised as a decorative fixture on his umbrella. (COMIC: The Forgotten)
Behind the scenes
Casting
Actors considered for the role of the seventh incarnation before McCoy was cast included Rowan Atkinson, who later played the ninth incarnation in the satirical The Curse of Fatal Death; McCoy's mentor Ken Campbell; Chris Jury; Tony Robinson; and Alexei Sayle. Sayle had previously played the DJ in TV: Revelation of the Daleks. Furthermore, Andrew Sachs and Dermot Crowley auditioned for the role.
Cartmel Masterplan
Season 25 and 26 had broad hints that the Doctor was not simply a Time Lord, as previously shown and stated. This overarching plot, conceived by Script Editor Andrew Cartmel and referred to by fans as the Cartmel Masterplan, was designed to restore an element of mystery in the Doctor and his true nature as in the stories of the first and second incarnations. Although the cancellation of the series at the end of Season 26 prevented further on-screen exploration of this arc, it was later given full rein in the Virgin New Adventures novel series.
Parodies and pastiches
- After the original series ended, Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred played characters called the Professor and Ace, respectively, in a series of audio adventures produced by BBV Productions. Initially the stories were clearly based upon Doctor Who, but these connections decreased when the character was renamed the Dominie and Aldred's character Alice.
- McCoy also parodied his version of the Doctor in the BBV production, Do You Have a Licence to Save This Planet?.
- In the BBC series, Doctors, Sylvester guest-starred as Graham Capelli, an actor who had played the title role in The Amazing Lollipop Man, a cult 1980s children's television series of the same name. The Lollipop Man had many similarities to the Doctor.
- An Easter Egg referencing the Seventh Doctor appears in the seventh episode of the first season (The Tale of the Captured Souls) of the Nickelodean children's horror series, Are You Afraid of the Dark?. The Seventh Doctor's hat and coat can be seen hanging from a hatstand at two points in the episode.
The Brilliant Book 2011
According to The Brilliant Book 2011, a non-narrative source, the Seventh Doctor was at Chartwell on 16 November 1936, where he met Winston Churchill again. The Doctor told Winston that King Edward VIII's lover, Wallis Simpson, was an alien.
whoisdoctorwho.co.uk
The website whoisdoctorwho.co.uk had a list of sightings of the Doctor from which people had ostensibly been submitting to Clive, a conspiracy theorist character from TV: Rose.
A submission from "j q public" had sighted someone who looked like a version of the Doctor in Clive's photographs — the Ninth Doctor — arguing with "a little man with an umbrella" on a university campus. [1]
