| |
| The Seventh Doctor was originally light-hearted and prone to clownish behaviour ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'', ''[[Paradise Towers (TV story)|Paradise Towers]]'', ''[[The Greatest Show in the Galaxy (TV story)|The Greatest Show in the Galaxy]]'') that masked his true intellect and courage. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Infinite Requiem (novel)|Infinite Requiem]]'') However, as he matured, he became a grumpy and melancholy manipulator ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'', ''[[Ghost Light (TV story)|Ghost Light]]'', ''[[The Curse of Fenric (TV story)|The Curse of Fenric]]'') who saw the battle between good and evil as a game of chess or a stage play, and everyone around him as pawns in the game of fighting evil that he directed, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Revelation (novel)|Timewyrm: Revelation]]'', ''[[The Highest Science (novel)|The Highest Science]]'', ''[[Head Games (novel)|Head Games]]'', ''[[Illegal Alien (novel)|Illegal Alien]]'') though he hated himself for it, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Iceberg (novel)|Iceberg]]'', ''[[Blood Heat (novel)|Blood Heat]]'') instead desiring a life of playing the spoons and acting as a children's entertainer with his magic tricks. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Also People (novel)|The Also People]]'', ''[[Return of the Living Dad (novel)|Return of the Living Dad]]'', ''[[Heritage (novel)|Heritage]]'') Despite his darker demeanour, the Seventh Doctor was "not without [his] share of mirth and joviality", and claimed to [[Ace]] that he could be "quite the funny fellow", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Fable Fusion (short story)|Fable Fusion]]'') though he found it hard to put his trust in others. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Younger and Wiser (comic story)|Younger and Wiser]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Seeing himself as a "chess master", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Illegal Alien (novel)|Illegal Alien]]'') the Seventh Doctor was a consummate fan of [[chess]], to the point of treating his companions and enemies as pieces on a [[chess board]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Silver Nemesis (TV story)|Silver Nemesis]]'', ''[[Battlefield (TV story)|Battlefield]]'', ''[[The Curse of Fenric (TV story)|The Curse of Fenric]]'') until he tired of the game in favour of [[hopscotch]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Infinite Requiem (novel)|Infinite Requiem]]'') He habitually lied to keep others at ease, ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'', ''[[Survival (TV story)|Survival]]'') and preferred to explain "one thing at a time". ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'') While he was known for his preference on using words to resolve a problem instead of violence, ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'', ''[[Battlefield (TV story)|Battlefield]]'') and preferred to fight fairly, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rice Pudding (short story)|Rice Pudding]]'') the Doctor was not adverse to letting his adversaries be the architects of their own unmaking. ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'', ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'', ''[[Silver Nemesis (TV story)|Silver Nemesis]]'')
| |
|
| |
| 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 (TV story)|Survival]]'') When deducing grandiloquent plans to rule the universe, he considered their destruction of small everyday pleasures, like art and music, ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'') and often mocked his enemies grandiose plans by incorporating foods into their list of ambitions. ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'', ''[[Ghost Light (TV story)|Ghost Light]]'') In his more serious moments, however, the Doctor would sombrely reflect the ramifications of time and the consequences of interfering in history, ([[TV]]: ''[[Dragonfire (TV story)|Dragonfire]]'', ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'') as well as his life of aimless travel. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Culture Shock! (comic story)|Culture Shock!]]'')
| |
|
| |
| While his previous incarnations would stumble upon trouble by happenstance, the Seventh Doctor actively sought out villains to vanquish and dictatorships to dethrone, ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'', ''[[The Happiness Patrol (TV story)|The Happiness Patrol]]'', ''[[Ghost Light (TV story)|Ghost Light]]'', ''[[The Curse of Fenric (TV story)|The Curse of Fenric]]'') getting involved in local affairs without question, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cat's Cradle: Warhead (novel)|Cat's Cradle: Warhead]]'') and was much less forgiving than his preceding incarnation, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Project Lazarus (audio story)|Project Lazarus]]'') due to the Sixth Doctor's decision to let his morality and scruples die with him in his final moments. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Brink of Death (audio story)|The Brink of Death]]'') The Doctor would claim{{who}} that he served as Time's Champion because of "principles, truth, love and harmony, peace and goodwill, [and] the best of intentions." ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Return of the Living Dad (novel)|Return of the Living Dad]]'')

| [[File:Kill her.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor challenges [[Fenric]] to kill [[Ace]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Fenric (TV story)|The Curse of Fenric]]'')]]
| |
| Despite viewing himself as "a nice little man in a silly jumper", ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Harvest of the Sycorax (audio story)|Harvest of the Sycorax]]'') he was viewed as being the most dangerous of the Doctors by [[UNIT]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Persuasion (audio story)|Persuasion]]'') and would often only see the "bigger picture" rather than the world before him, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Head Games (novel)|Head Games]]'') which resulted in him causing much grief, such as devastating Ace by labelling her an "emotional cripple" to weaken Fenric's power by making her abandon her faith in him. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Fenric (TV story)|The Curse of Fenric]]'') However, he was not totally unfeeling, appearing apprehensive about his decision to destroy [[Skaro]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'') was genuinely agonised that he had to convince Ace that he did not care about her, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Fenric (TV story)|The Curse of Fenric]]'') and told [[Ellen Woodworth]] that "the end[s] never [justified] the means, [as] the means used [determined] the kind of end produced." ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Christmas on a Rational Planet (novel)|Christmas on a Rational Planet]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Nearing the end of his life, the Doctor decided to [[retire]] from his niche of manipulation.{{Fact}} Feeling guilty and tired from his plotting, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Fenric (TotT TV story)|The Curse of Fenric]]'') he acknowledged he had lived past his prime and would soon regenerate.{{Fact}} Fearing that his next incarnation would not want to continue plans that he had set in motion, the Doctor put all his affairs in order to leave nothing unsung when his time drew to a close. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Persuasion (audio story)|Persuasion]]'') However, after being saved from one of the [[Eight Legs]] by the [[Eighth Doctor]], he became determined to enjoy every minute he had left. After the Eighth Doctor warned him of a trap by {{Tipple}}, 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 (novel)|The Eight Doctors]]'')

| Feeling that he "belong[ed]" in open [[space]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Unregenerate! (audio story)|Unregenerate!]]'') the Seventh Doctor longed for exploration, and bemoaned how young people had "no spirit of adventure", distaining at taking downtime when he could be experiencing enjoyment in new scientific discoveries. ([[TV]]: ''[[Paradise Towers (TV story)|Paradise Towers]]'', ''[[Dragonfire (TV story)|Dragonfire]]'') He also had a soft spot for [[jazz]] music, ([[TV]]: ''[[Silver Nemesis (TV story)|Silver Nemesis]]'') [[conker]]s, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doctor Conkerer!

([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lucifer Rising (novel)|Lucifer Rising]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Though the Doctor initially encouraged Ace not to call him "Professor", ([[TV]]: ''[[Dragonfire (TV story)|Dragonfire]]'', ''[[The Curse of Fenric (TV story)|The Curse of Fenric]]'') he later confessed that he liked the nickname. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Thin Ice (audio story)|Thin Ice]]'') He also told [[Bernice Summerfield]] that he loved "chaos, big explosions, and rebellions", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Love and War (novel)|Love and War]]'') described E flat minor as his favourite musical key, gave [[blue]] as his favourite colour, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lucifer Rising (novel)|Lucifer Rising]]'') and claimed that having his hair cut relaxed him more than anything. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Left-Handed Hummingbird (novel)|The Left-Handed Hummingbird]]'') He also enjoyed playing nine dimensional scrabble, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[St Anthony's Fire (novel)|St Anthony's Fire]]'') and "doing interviews". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Happy Endings (novel)|Happy Endings]]'') When thinking about rewards he could seek for his actions, the Doctor thought about "the smile of a baby child, the first sunset on a soft and new-born world, [and] the taste of the purest spring water, untouched by any pollution of Man's making." ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dimension Riders (novel)|The Dimension Riders]]'')
| |
|
| |
| The Doctor hated wasted journeys, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Nemesis of the Daleks (comic story)|Nemesis of the Daleks]]'') unrequited love, tyranny, cruelty, ([[TV]]: ''[[Ghost Light (TV story)|Ghost Light]]'') the writings of [[Stanoff Osterling]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Theatre of War (novel)|Theatre of War]]'') the over usage of [[semicolon]]s, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Plastic Millenium (comic story)|Plastic Millenium]]'') [[swimming]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Also People (novel)|The Also People]]'') and goodbyes. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Room With No Doors (novel)|The Room With No Doors]]'') He also saw [[bus station]]s as "terrible places full of lost luggage and lost souls", ([[TV]]: ''[[Ghost Light (TV story)|Ghost Light]]'') and had little respect for those who chose not to fight injustice when they had the power to.

([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rice Pudding (short story)|Rice Pudding]]'') He took five to six sugars in his [[tea]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[House of Blue Fire (audio story)|House of Blue Fire]]'') with his favourite teas being [[Arcturan]], [[Earl Grey]] and [[Lapsang souchong]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lucifer Rising (novel)|Lucifer Rising]]'') his favourite [[ice cream]] being boysenberry ripple, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Left-Handed Hummingbird (novel)|The Left-Handed Hummingbird]]'') and his favourite biscuits being [[chocolate]] [[HobNob]]s.

([[PROSE]]: ''[[Notre Dame du Temps (short story)|Notre Dame du Temps]]'') He preferred having water to drink when at ''[[Maruthea]]'', ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Party Animals (comic story)|Party Animals]]'') but did have an enjoyment for [[Fizzade]] ([[TV]]: ''[[Paradise Towers (TV story)|Paradise Towers]]'') and [[lemonade]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Just War (novel)|Just War]]'') However, he "[couldn't] stand" burned toast, ([[TV]]: ''[[Ghost Light (TV story)|Ghost Light]]'') or the taste of [[pear]]s.

| |
| <!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's beliefs and opinions-->

([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Fiesta of the Damned (audio story)|Fiesta of the Damned]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Seeing the future as being built by one's own hands, he believed that there was always [[hope]] for a tomorrow in which "life [was] worth living". However, when faced with the truly nihilistic, the Doctor would abandon them to the fates they did not want to escape. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Time and Tide (comic story)|Time and Tide]]'')
| |
|
| |
| <!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's fears-->
| |
| According to Ace, while the Doctor "wasn't scared of monsters or pain or dying, he was scared of being alone," ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Left-Handed Hummingbird (novel)|The Left-Handed Hummingbird]]'') though he would decide later in life to travel alone after a devastating incident made him realise that he couldn't trust himself with anyone's life. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Resurrection of Mars (audio story)|The Resurrection of Mars]]'') He once had a frightful experience in [[Rita Hawks]]'s [[bubble car]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Loving the Alien (novel)|Loving the Alien]]'') and also admitted to the [[Mi'en Kalarash]] that he was afraid of the [[Old Time]], the [[Times of Night]] and Chaos. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[House of Blue Fire (audio story)|House of Blue Fire]]'')

| |
| Believing that "two wrongs [didn't] make a [right]", ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'') the Seventh Doctor was opposed to violence of any sort, although he proved capable of rendering an opponent unconscious with a touch to the forehead ([[TV]]: ''[[Battlefield (TV story)|Battlefield]]'', ''[[Survival (TV story)|Survival]]'') by using the [[Venusian nerve pinch]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Exodus (novel)|Timewyrm: Exodus]]'') While he was completely against the use of firearms, ([[TV]]: ''[[Dragonfire (TV story)|Dragonfire]]'') seeing them as the "tinker toy resort of frustrated [and] hopeless individuals", ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Cuckoo (comic story)|Cuckoo]]'') the Doctor was willing to use a [[Tissue Compression Eliminator]] to defend himself against [[Death's Head]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Crossroads of Time (comic story)|The Crossroads of Time]]'') and used a gun to kill [[Legion]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lucifer Rising (novel)|Lucifer Rising]]'') and to disable [[Eva Jericho]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Damaged Goods (novel)|Damaged Goods]]'')
| |

| |
| While he protested that no one had the right to kill, ([[TV]]: ''[[Dragonfire (TV story)|Dragonfire]]'') he would orchestrate a death if it benefited his plans, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Happiness Patrol (TV story)|The Happiness Patrol]]'') believing "killing [to be] wrong except when it's right". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Original Sin (novel)|Original Sin]]'') While he refused to shoot the Master when it served no purpose, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[First Frontier (novel)|First Frontier]]'') the Seventh Doctor was not averse to manipulating events that resulted in the loss of life, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Love and War (novel)|Love and War]]'', ''[[Eternity Weeps (novel)|Eternity Weeps]]'') taking a life by himself, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lucifer Rising (novel)|Lucifer Rising]]'') or convincing someone to commit [[suicide]].

| |
|
| |
| <!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's miscellaneous traits-->
| |
| The Doctor would attempt to embrace the customs of the cultures he visited, ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'', ''[[Paradise Towers (TV story)|Paradise Towers]]'') and greet anything he thought was sentient with a friendly smile. ([[TV]]: ''[[Paradise Towers (TV story)|Paradise Towers]]'') However, he could get so caught up in the moment that he overlooked the finer details of the situation. ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'')

| <!--Examples following this point focus on how this particular incarnation of the Doctor described themselves-->
| |
| <!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's opinion of his other selves in chronological order-->
| |
| While combating [[Adam Mitchell]]'s [[Auton]]s, the Seventh Doctor associated himself with his [[First Doctor|first]] and [[second incarnation]]s, combining with them to think of a solution to the situation. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Endgame (POT comic story)|Endgame]]'')
| |
|
| |
| While he was of the opinion that his [[Third Doctor|third]] and [[fourth incarnation]]s were not unattractive, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Algebra of Ice (novel)|The Algebra of Ice]]'') he regretfully felt that his fourth incarnation had "condemned untold billions to death by not destroying the Daleks at the moment of [[Creation of the Daleks|their birth]]", and resented that his [[fifth incarnation]] "could have saved billions more by shooting down [[Davros]] like a mad dog when [he] had the chance". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lucifer Rising (novel)|Lucifer Rising]]'') He also thought he himself looked more "respectable" than his fourth and [[sixth incarnation]]s, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Loving the Alien (novel)|Loving the Alien]]'') and thought his third incarnation was "a real dandy of a fellow". ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Under Pressure (comic story)|Under Pressure]]'') However, when he encountered [[The Doctor (Party Animals)|an incarnation]] he did not recognise, the Seventh Doctor acted civil towards him and engaged in a pleasant conversation while a fight erupted around them. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Party Animals (comic story)|Party Animals]]'')
| |
|
| |
| <!--Examples following this point focus on how the other Doctors felt about this particular incarnation in chronological order-->
| |
| The Seventh Doctor was generally disliked by his other incarnations. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Shadow of the Scourge (audio story)|The Shadow of the Scourge]]'') The [[Fifth Doctor]] was repulsed by his manipulative nature, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cold Fusion (novel)|Cold Fusion]]'') and the [[Sixth Doctor]] told [[Evelyn Smythe]] that his successor was "always blowing up planets", something he was "not looking forward to". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The 100 Days of the Doctor (audio story)|The 100 Days of the Doctor]]'') The [[Eleventh Doctor]] described his seventh incarnation as "probably one of [his] more circumspect periods." ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Shockwave (DotD audio story)|Shockwave]]'')
| |
|
| |
| The Eighth Doctor described his immediate predecessor as "a [[paranoia|paranoid]] chap at times, but then often with good reason[s]", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[War of the Daleks (novel)|War of the Daleks]]'') and eventually came to view his manipulative nature with disdain, telling [[Lucie Miller]] that he was always "the man with the master plan," arranging 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, in which he negatively compared the Seventh Doctor to {{Garden}}. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Resurrection of Mars (audio story)|The Resurrection of Mars]]'')
| |
|
| |
| <!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's feelings and opinions on his companions and other friends and allies-->
| |
| Despite his manipulative actions, such as using psychic powers to make Mel leave with [[Sabalom Glitz]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Head Games (novel)|Head Games]]'') the Seventh Doctor did care for his companions, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Fearmonger (audio story)|The Fearmonger]]'') focusing on their wounds before his own, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Set Piece (novel)|Set Piece]]'') and even sought their approval on occasion. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Head Games (novel)|Head Games]]'') He believed he would act as a surrogate granddad to [[Bernice Summerfield]]'s children, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[SLEEPY (novel)|SLEEPY]]'') and later gave her away at her wedding to [[Jason Kane]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Happy Endings (novel)|Happy Endings]]'') He did not like others fiddling with his TARDIS, even slapping Ace's hand when she tried using the console control. ([[TV]]: ''[[Battlefield (TV story)|Battlefield]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Although he originally invited her to travel with him to combat [[Fenric]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Head Games (novel)|Head Games]]'') the Doctor developed a paternal relationship with Ace, ([[TV]]: ''[[Battlefield (TV story)|Battlefield]]'', ''[[Ghost Light (TV story)|Ghost Light]]'') eventually coming to trust Ace with his life. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The High Price of Parking (audio story)|The High Price of Parking]]'') Ace, considering the Doctor to be her "[[guru]]", ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Nightshade (audio story)|Nightshade]]'') believed that he had the "deepest, saddest eyes", ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Prisoner's Dilemma (audio story)|The Prisoner's Dilemma]]'') and even told him that she loved him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Signs and Wonders (audio story)|Signs and Wonders]]'') However, after she found herself unable to deal with his growing emotional coldness, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Nightshade (novel)|Nightshade]]'') Ace walked out on the Doctor after he had arranged for the death of [[Jan Rydd]], whom she had fallen in love with. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Love and War (novel)|Love and War]]'') Even after she re-joined his company, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Deceit (novel)|Deceit]]'') it was only so she could use him for her own goals, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lucifer Rising (novel)|Lucifer Rising]]'') believing it to be poetic justice for his own manipulations. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Conundrum (novel)|Conundrum]]'') Their relationship would remain sour, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Blood Heat (novel)|Blood Heat]]'') until they worked together to defeat {{Champion}}, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[No Future (novel)|No Future]]'') after which they realised how much they needed each other's friendship. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Tragedy Day (novel)|Tragedy Day]]'') Ace eventually decided that, whilst the Doctor "may be a bastard", he was "still [her] bastard", ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Head Games (novel)|Head Games]]'') and that she could trust him "to sort out anything". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Death of Art (novel)|The Death of Art]]'')

|
| |
| <!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's feelings and opinions on Earth and humanity-->
| |
| While his favourite planet was [[Earth]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Crossroads of Time (comic story)|The Crossroads of Time]]'') the Doctor 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 (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'') that "among all the varied wonders of the universe, [there was] nothing so firmly clamped shut as the military mind", ([[TV]]: ''[[Battlefield (TV story)|Battlefield]]'') and that their expectation that "everything [had] to be within [their] comprehension" was their "most irksome trait." ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dimension Riders (novel)|The Dimension Riders]]'') While he once voiced his opinion that their evolution was a "miscalculation", ([[TV]]: ''[[Silver Nemesis (TV story)|Silver Nemesis]]'') the Doctor admitted to [[Mikey (Bad Therapy)|Mikey]] that, despite their illogical behaviour, he found human beings irresistible. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Bad Therapy (novel)|Bad Therapy]]'')

| |

| |
| While his [[John Smith (Seventh Doctor)|human counterpart]] fell in love with [[Joan Redfern]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Human Nature (novel)|Human Nature]]'') the Doctor himself was decidedly celibate, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Death and Diplomacy (novel)|Death and Diplomacy]]'') failing to understand human attraction and affection, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cat's Cradle: Warhead (novel)|Cat's Cradle: Warhead]]'') except when it came to [[Ace]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timewyrm: Exodus (novel)|Timewyrm: Exodus]]'') of whom he loved in a paternal way. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Fenric (TotT TV story)|The Curse of Fenric]]'') However, Ace noted that the Doctor had chemistry with [[Mackenzie (Cat and Mouse)|Maid Mackenzie]] of the [[Campbell Ancestral Home]], with the Doctor also appearing crestfallen when he had to say goodbye to her.

([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Ripple Effect (short story)|The Ripple Effect]]'') He also distrusted the [[Ice Warrior]]s, even after they renounced conflict. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Legacy (novel)|Legacy]]'')

([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Highest Science (novel)|The Highest Science]]'') Dr. [[Smith (Zamper)|Smith]], who initially saw the Doctor as a "great scientist", quickly changed her opinion of him to that of "an entertainer who might be hired for a children's party" after the Doctor started enthusiastically rambling.

| |
| In [[COMIC]]: ''[[A Cold Day in Hell! (comic story)|A Cold Day in Hell]]'', the Seventh Doctor is shown to be travelling with [[Frobisher]], a companion of the [[Sixth Doctor]], and Frobisher refers to [[Peri Brown]] as if she had recently left. The timeline given in the [[Doctor Who Magazine]] article ''[[Stripped for action?]]'' claims that the Seventh Doctor had picked up Peri and Frobisher to travel with him until Peri left to live with [[Yrcanos]].

| === Casting ===
| |
| * Actors considered for the role of the Seventh Doctor before [[Sylvester McCoy]] was cast included [[Chris Jury]], [[Tony Robinson]], McCoy's mentor [[Ken Campbell]], [[Rowan Atkinson]] and [[Alexei Sayle]], with [[Andrew Sachs]] and [[Dermot Crowley]] also auditioning for the role. Sayle had previously played the [[DJ (Revelation of the Daleks)|DJ]] in [[TV]]: ''[[Revelation of the Daleks (TV story)|Revelation of the Daleks]]'', and Atkinson would later played the [[Ninth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|Ninth Doctor]] in [[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death (TV story)|The Curse of Fatal Death]]'',
| |
|
| |
| === In popular culture ===
| |
| * After the original series ended, Sylvester McCoy and [[Sophie Aldred]] played characters called the Professor and Ace, respectively, in the ''[[Audio Adventures in Time & Space]]'' audio series produced by [[BBV Productions]]. The stories were initially implied to be a continuation of ''Doctor Who'', but these connections decreased when the Professor was renamed [[the Dominie]] and Aldred's character [[Alice]].
| |
| * In the BBC medical soap opera {{wi|Doctors (2000 TV series)|Doctors}}, McCoy guest-starred as Graham Capelli, an actor who had played the titular role in ''The Amazing Lollipop Man'', a cult [[1980s]] children's television series. The character of 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 of the Nickelodeon children's horror series, ''Are You Afraid of the Dark? '', "The Tale of the Captured Souls" , in which the Seventh Doctor's hat and coat can be seen hanging from a hatstand at two points in the episode.
