'''One incarnation''' of '''[[the Doctor]]''', following his [[regeneration]], met new [[companion]]s [[Jenny Wilson]] and [[Jimmy Forbes]]. In [[the TARDIS]], they travelled to the [[planet]] [[Karn]], where they prevented the [[Dalek]]s from gaining the [[Crystal of All Power]].
 
This incarnation of the Doctor resembled a middle-aged man, with a hoarse voice. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Seven Keys to Doomsday (audio story)|Seven Keys to Doomsday]]'')
 
== Behind the scenes ==
[[Trevor Martin]]'s Doctor originated in the [[1974 (releases)|1974]] stage play ''[[Doctor Who and the Daleks in Seven Keys to Doomsday (stage play)|Doctor Who and the Daleks in Seven Keys to Doomsday]]''. The play debuted after [[TV]]: ''[[Planet of the Spiders (TV story)|Planet of the Spiders]]'' and directly before [[TV]]: ''[[Robot (TV story)|Robot]]'', and as both [[Jon Pertwee]] and [[Tom Baker]] were not available for the production, Martin was chosen to play a brand-new incarnation of the character.
 
The play began with Martin wearing a wig and costume indicating that he was the [[Third Doctor]], not unlike [[Seventh Doctor]] actor [[Sylvester McCoy]]'s portrayal of the [[Sixth Doctor]] in ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]''. He would then collapse on stage, and two "audience members" would rush from their sets to help him. An image on a rear-projected screen would then show Pertwee's face turning into Martin's, indicating that he was the Fourth Doctor. As the lights turned back on, Martin would be wearing a new costume with his natural hair. As he awoke, it was revealed that the audience members were his new companions, [[Jenny Wilson|Jenny]] and [[Jimmy Forbes|Jimmy]], who had been sitting in the audience as a trick of immersion.


This incarnation of the [[the Doctor|Doctor]] had recently [[regeneration|regenerated]] from his [[Third Doctor|third incarnation]] into a fourth one. With his new companions, [[Jenny (The Seven Keys to Doomsday)|Jenny]] and [[Jimmy (The Seven Keys to Doomsday)|Jimmy]], he travelled to the planet [[Karn]] to prevent the [[Dalek]]s from gaining the [[Crystal of All Power]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Seven Keys to Doomsday (audio story)|Seven Keys to Doomsday]])
In the [[Seven Keys to Doomsday|audio adaptation]], an [[Previous Doctor (Seven Keys to Doomsday)|unidentified incarnation]] played by [[Nicholas Briggs]] precedes Martin instead.

The "Seven Keys" Doctor was played by several other actors in later worldwide performances of the original play, including [[Michael Sagar]] in the 1984 production of the play in Porirua, New Zealand. Sagar portrayed the Doctor wearing a chequered suit and sporting a black moustache, giving him an overall look clearly distinct from Trevor Martin's take.<ref>http://doctorwho.org.nz/archive/tsv61/sevenkeys.html</ref>
