The Doctor's brother
- You may be looking for Irving Braxiatel.
Upon encountering the Tenth Doctor as a patient at the Royal Hope Hospital, Martha Jones asked if he had a brother, to which the Doctor replied "no, not any more." (TV: Smith and Jones [+]Loading...["Smith and Jones (TV story)"])
According to one account, the Doctor's brother died along with the Doctor's children and the rest of the Doctor's family when the Doctor was forced to destroy both the Time Lords and the Daleks to bring an end to the Last Great Time War. (PROSE: Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia [+]Loading...["Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia (reference book)"]) However, other accounts have indicated that Gallifrey was not destroyed at the conclusion of the Time War. (TV: The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (TV story)"] et al.)
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- A parody version of the Doctor's family tree printed in DWM 386 that conflates multiple versions of the Doctor's family identifies the Doctor's "brother (not any more)" as a separate individual from Irving Braxiatel (Renamed "Braxiatel Who"). This unnamed brother is stated to be the father of Dr. Who's niece Louise Who and, through her marriage to Tom Campbell, the grandfather of real-world figures Menzies Campbell and Alistair Campbell.
