He spent most of his exile living in comfort at the upmarket [[Carlton Grange Hotel]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Action in Exile]]'') During this period, he became famous, as evidenced by his appearance in news stories ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Brotherhood]]'') and on television [[Explain My Mystery|game shows]]. Ultimately, the [[Time Lord]]s brought this period of the Doctor's life to an end by sending [[Animated scarecrow (The Night Walkers)|animated scarecrows]] to trap the Doctor in [[The Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] and catry out the second of his two sentences: regeneration. While the Doctor regenerated, the Time Lord-controlled scatecrows made the TARDIS dematerialise and then departed. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Night Walkers]]'') | ||

The Doctor experienced a period of unconsciousness and partial amnesia, but eventually recovered and helped [[United Nations Intelligence Taskforce|UNIT]] defeat the Nestene Consciousness' [[Auton]]s. The Doctor agreed to stay on as UNIT's unpaid scientific advisor in exchange for a place to park the TARDIS and technical resources he needed to repair his ship. He was also given a cat.

To ensure the Doctor would remain in exile, the Time Lords removed certain secrets of [[time travel]] from his mind.

([[TV]]: ''[[The Claws of Axos]]'') Chief amongst these were the materialisation codes needed to operate the TARDIS. ([[TV]]: ''[[Spearhead from Space]]'') Indeed, the dematerialisation circuit itself was damaged beyond the Doctor's ability to repair it. When trying to replace his mark I dematerialisation circuit with the Master's mark II, smoke spilled out of the TARDIS, not accepting the replacement. ([[TV]]: ''[[Terror of the Autons]]'', ''[[The Three Doctors]]'') This didn't stop the Doctor, with the help of his UNIT assistants Dr [[Liz Shaw]] and, later, [[Jo Grant]], from attempting to repair the TARDIS. At one point this led to the Doctor accidentally breaking the First Law of Time by creating a minor paradox in which he and Jo encountered future versions of themselves. ([[TV]]: ''[[Day of the Daleks]]'') One of his more successful attempts to repair the TARDIS involved removing the console from the ship in order to try and bypass the blocks the Time Lords had placed on the ship, but even linking the console up to a nuclear reactor only allowed him to travel a short distance in space and time in this universe, and his most successful "trip" sent him to an [[Inferno Earth|alternate universe]] as he had deactivated too many security protocols ([[TV]]: ''[[Inferno (TV story)|Inferno]]''). The Doctor later attempted to side-step his exile by using the [[Time-Space Visualiser]] as a [[time bridge]], but although he was able to travel back to the island of [[Salutua]] in [[1934]], this method of time travel was abandoned after he was nearly trapped in the past and an alternate timeline was created where actress [[Nancy Norton]] conquered the world with the aid of the alien [[Brokk]] before the Doctor and his allies went back again to undo the consequences of their original interference ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Eye of the Giant (novel)|The Eye of the Giant]]''). | ||

([[PROSE]]: ''[[Transit]]'') In an effort to defeat the renegade Time Lord [[Omega]], the Time Lords took the unprecedented step of not only recruiting the Doctor's third incarnation to stop Omega's attack, but also his [[First Doctor|first]] and [[Second Doctor|second]] as well. As a reward for the successful defeat of Omega, the Time Lords finally rescinded the Doctor's exile on Earth, granting him his lost memories as well as a brand new dematerialisation circuit.

Despite his exile coming to an end, the Doctor continued to work with UNIT on a regular basis and retain his home base there for the remainder of his third incatnation. Following his regeneration, however, the [[Fourth Doctor|new Doctor]] finally took full advantage of his freedom and quickly weaned himself away from UNIT, save for the occasional collaboration, ([[TV]]: ''[[Robot (TV story)|Robot]]'', ''[[Terror of the Zygons]]'', ''[[The Android Invasion (TV story)|The Android Invasion]]'', etc.) and also took part in adventures on Earth on a less-frequent basis than he had done previously, although he never officially resigned from UNIT.

The [[Quantum Archangel]] created a timeline in which [[Melanie Bush]] was Prime Minister in [[2003]], with the Doctor still exiled on Earth in his third incatnation. During a [[Cybermen (Mondas)|Cybermen]] invasion, the Doctor betrayed Earth to the Cybermen to regain his ability to travel in time.

Although the TARDIS was only able to travel in space as the Time Lords had placed an inhibitor in it and removed the Doctor's knowledge of how to bypass it, by taking the TARDIS to a location where a nuclear bomb was about to be detonated, the Doctor was able to give the ship a powerful 'kick' that disabled the inhibitor and allowed him to travel freely once more ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Sympathy for the Devil (audio story)|Sympathy for the Devil]]''). | ||
