== Biography ==

==== Family life ====

According to several accounts, the Doctor was a father at one point in his life, ([[TV]]: ''[[Fear Her (TV story)|Fear Her]]'', ''[[The Doctor's Daughter (TV story)|The Doctor's Daughter]]'', ''[[Listen (TV story)|Listen]]'') of both "sons and daughters". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Eleventh Tiger (novel)|The Eleventh Tiger]]'') The Doctor also had three known grandchildren: [[Susan Foreman|Susan]], ([[TV]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|An Unearthly Child]]'') [[John and Gillian]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Klepton Parasites (comic story)|The Klepton Parasites]]'') [[Clara Oswald]] also referred to the Doctor's "children and grandchildren", who were "missing" by the time of the Doctor's [[Twelfth Doctor|twelfth incarnation]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'')

=== Wanderers in the fourth dimension ===

Sometime after his visit to the French Revolution, the Doctor met [[Iris Wildthyme]], another renegade time traveller. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Scarlet Empress (novel)|The Scarlet Empress]]'') Stealing her diary, he and Susan were "inspired". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[First Meetings (short story)|First Meetings]]'')

The Doctor and Susan next visited [[Jabalhabad]], [[India]], in [[1843]], whilst they were touring India by [[elephant]]. They met [[Siger Holmes]], father of [[Sherlock Holmes]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[All-Consuming Fire (novel)|All-Consuming Fire]]'')

Visiting Earth again in [[1979]], the dematerialisation circuit was fried while the TARDIS was orbiting Earth. The TARDIS was taken on board a [[Slarvian]] transport, and the Doctor and Susan learned that the snail-like species planned to conquer Earth by hatching their eggs all over the planet. Their plan failed because the Slarvian ship crashed into the [[English Channel]], making the threat localised to [[England]]. With the help of the humans [[Linda Grainger]] and her grandfather, [[Edward Grainger]], the Doctor and Susan stopped the Slarvian eggs from hatching. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Childhood Living (short story)|Childhood Living]]'')

Arriving at central Europe in the [[16th century]], Susan noticed what looked like a [[meteorite]] and tossed it out, thinking it unimportant, but soon came to realise that it was in fact a part of a [[Liciax]] ship. When she tried to find what she had carelessly discarded, it was gone. With the help of a man named Lovey, they traced it to [[Prague]], where they found it had been shaped into a golem, that had developed sentience and was also on a murderous rampage. The Doctor and Susan trapped it in the attic of a [[Judaism|Jewish]] synagogue, placing it under a security system, to which only they knew the access codes. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Life from Lifelessness (short story)|Life from Lifelessness]]'')

After landing in [[Germany]] in the sixteenth century, the Doctor and Susan teamed up with magistrate [[Rudolf von Slesinger]] and an inquisitor, [[Johann Eck]], to protect [[Martin Luther]] from two assassins ahead of his trial. Instantly suspicious of Slesinger's odd behaviour, the Doctor sent Susan undercover as a servant girl and discovered that Slesinger had deployed the assassins in a plot to kill Luther in secret. Before he could kill anyone, Slesinger was apprehended by Eck. Afterwards, the Doctor and Susan decided to remain in Germany for the trial of Martin Luther. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Price of Conviction (short story)|The Price of Conviction]]'')

The Doctor began pursuing the [[Soul Pirate]]s after they stole his hand in a sword fight. Whilst following them, he and Susan arrived in [[1900]] [[London]], where Susan and a group of children were kidnapped by the Soul Pirates to harvest their body parts for profit. However, the Doctor foiled their plan, rescued Susan and the children, and received a brand new hand, indistinguishable from the original, from [[Xing (species)|Xing]] surgeon [[Aldridge]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Big Hand for the Doctor (short story)|A Big Hand for the Doctor]]'')

[[File:Urrozdinee.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor and Susan in Urrozdinee, [[2134]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Urrozdinee (short story)|Urrozdinee]]'')]]

The Doctor and Susan went to [[Berlin]] in [[January]] [[1933]]. There he met [[Fitz Haber]] and planned to help him with his studies. When [[Pollitt]] drugged Susan, he became aware that something dangerous was going on and that they should try to leave the place. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Alchemists (audio story)|The Alchemists]]'')

The Doctor took a brief trip to St Albans on 17 December [[1997]] to ensure that the United Kingdom would remain safe during the 1960s, and had a near-miss encounter with the [[Fourth Doctor]], [[Romana II]] and [[K9]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Little Things (short story)|The Little Things]]'')

Making a short trip to the planet [[Tacunda]], the Doctor and Susan uncovered a "[[Blessing Star]]", a [[crystal]] that altered the laws of probability around the holder, essentially making their dreams come true. The Doctor tried the device, wishing that he could pilot the TARDIS to [[20th century]] [[Earth]]. He was successful at piloting the ship, unfortunately, it completely fried the navigational system, stranding the Doctor and Susan in [[I.M. Foreman]]'s junk yard in [[Totter's Lane]], [[London]] in [[1963]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Rag & Bone Man's Story (short story)|The Rag & Bone Man's Story]]'')

Although he was known to be unsociable and unlikely to travel outward, this did not stop his search for knowledge.{{source}} He at least once visited [[Shoreditch Library|a library]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Vampires of Venice (TV story)|The Vampires of Venice]]'') and was familiar with [[Harry (Remembrance of the Daleks)|the owner of the local café]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks]]'') The Doctor first encountered [[River Song]] when he caught her sneaking around the junkyard where his TARDIS was located, but he was unaware of her identity. River fled when she heard Susan calling her grandfather. ([[GAME]]: ''[[The Eternity Clock (video game)|The Eternity Clock]]'')

The Doctor landed on Earth in 1966. While leaving the TARDIS unattended, two children, [[Tony Barker|Tony]] and [[Amy Barker]], and their dog, [[Butch]], entered the ship and accidentally locked themselves inside. When the Doctor returned, he dematerialised the TARDIS and arrived on the [[Sense Sphere]], where he was forced to kill a [[Zilgan]] to save his life. The Sensorites captured him and planned to execute him for his crime, but he was rescued by Tony and Amy. The three made their way back to the TARDIS and the Doctor returned the children to their own time. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Monsters from Earth (short story)|The Monsters from Earth]]'')

After killing a [[werewolf]] with a silver bullet in 1960s London, the Doctor was placed on trial for murder. He was acquitted by the jury which was made up partly of his [[Second Doctor|second]], [[Third Doctor|third]], [[Fifth Doctor|fifth]] and [[Eighth Doctor|eighth incarnations]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Juror's Story (short story)|The Juror's Story]]'')

After witnessing a man explode into a protoplasmic mass at a beat poetry reading, the Doctor and Susan traced the unusual death to a [[British]] government project, [[Operation Proteus]]. They discovered the project was being run by an alien named [[Raldonn]], who was mutating [[human]]s to turn one into his own species so that he would have a co-pilot to help him fly his ship back home. Unfortunately, his efforts relied on a lethal virus that threatened all [[London]]. After reversing the effects of the virus, the Doctor and Susan returned to the TARDIS in [[Totter's Lane]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Operation Proteus (comic story)|Operation Proteus]]'')

The Doctor began investigating an alien insect and planned to take it home. His quick retreat from the [[1960s]] prevented him from doing so. He wouldn't deal with the insect until he was in his [[Fourth Doctor|fourth incarnation]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Those Left Behind (short story)|Those Left Behind]]'')

=== Meeting Ian and Barbara ===

[[File:UnearthlyShortFocus.jpg|thumb|The Doctor returns to [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], and meets unexpected "guests". ([[TV]]: "[[An Unearthly Child (episode)|An Unearthly Child]]")]]

Returning to the junkyard to find that two of Susan's teachers, [[Ian Chesterton]] and [[Barbara Wright]], had followed her home, the Doctor tried to encourage them to leave, but they confronted him and forced themselves into the TARDIS. Against Susan's wishes, he launched the TARDIS, kidnapping them so they couldn't tell anyone about them. They travelled to [[BC#Prehistory|prehistoric times]]. Kidnapped by a tribesman named [[Kal]], the Doctor was brought to the [[Tribe of Gum]]. Susan, Ian and Barbara followed to save him, but [[Za]] caught them and placed them all in the [[Cave of Skulls]].

=== Further adventures ===

Still heavily damaged and malfunctioning, the TARDIS found its way to Earth, but did not make it to Ian and Barbara's time, instead landing in the [[Plain of Pamir]] in [[1289]]. There, the Doctor and his companions met [[Marco Polo]]. Polo took the TARDIS and its [[TARDIS key|keys]] on his caravan to the breadth of [[China|Cathay]] to hand to [[Kublai Khan]] as part of a bargain for his return to [[Venice]]. Along the way, the [[Mongol]] warlord, [[Tegana]], also part of Polo's caravan, tried to take the TARDIS for [[Nogai]] as part of his plan to [[Assassination|assassinate]] Kublai. In the chaos of Tegana and Polo's duel in [[Peking]], the Doctor and his companions escaped in the repaired TARDIS. ([[TV]]: ''[[Marco Polo (TV story)|Marco Polo]]'')

Finding themselves in what appeared to be an English forest, the TARDIS crew soon learned that the situation was more complex than it appeared when they discovered a medieval camp, a crashed spaceship, and were attacked by a dragon before being rescued by a knight. Taken to a nearby castle, they learned of a current conflict against the sorcerer [[Marton Dhal]], who sought further power by acquiring Merlin's old artefacts, the Doctor naturally puzzled at the existence of what appeared to be magic. Participating in a quest to gain [[Merlin's Helm]], the Doctor and Ian learned that the 'magic' was the result of a complex nanobot network that allowed those skilled in its use to manipulate the world around them. With tutoring from the leprechaun [[Kilvenny Odoyle]], the Doctor was able to learn how to use the world's magic himself, joining Odoyle and witch [[Anni Glassfeather]] in a final duel against [[Gramling]], Dahl's former master, who had manipulated Dahl in the name of his own dreams of power. With Dahl defeated, the Doctor was able to arrange for the nanobot network to be disabled, leaving the people to learn how to cope without magic. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Sorcerer's Apprentice (novel)|The Sorcerer's Apprentice]]'')

The Doctor arrived in [[Greenland]] in [[1002]] due to a leak in the TARDIS' [[plutonium]] [[battery]]. He enlisted the aid of [[Eric the Red]] and his [[Viking]] crew to take him and his companions to [[Newfoundland]] to get the materials he needed for his ship. They were nearly left behind in [[Nova Scotia]], but the Doctor convinced the Vikings to take them back. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Who Discovered America? (short story)|Who Discovered America?]]'')

The Doctor and his companions returned to Arbitan's island, where Arbitan had been murdered. Ian handed the Voord leader Yartek a fake key, which destroyed the Conscience, along with the Voord. They were able to leave in the TARDIS once more. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Keys of Marinus (TV story)|The Keys of Marinus]]'')

[[File:First Doctor Cameca.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor enjoys [[cocoa]] with the [[Aztec]] [[Cameca]]. ([[TV]]: "[[The Bride of Sacrifice]]")]]

The Doctor next travelled to London during [[World War II]] and discovered the [[Bansharai]], alien shape shifters who survived on emotions, had been posing as dead people to make the wishes of their loved ones come true. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Tell Me You Love Me (short story)|Tell Me You Love Me]]'')

The Doctor stopped a suicidal crew leader, [[Provost Rowd]], from wiping out the last remnants of the dying [[Metraxi]]s, and he later assisted a new leader, [[Egrabil]], to find a new home for the Metraxi. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[A Star is Born (audio story)|A Star is Born]]'')

Soon after, the Doctor rescued [[Joseph Rennigan]], the sole survivor of an American space mission that crashed on [[Mars]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rennigan's Record (short story)|Rennigan's Record]]'') and visited a dying world, where Barbara was infected by an alien parasite which distorted her memories. However, the Doctor was able to free her of the infection. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Nothing at the End of the Lane (short story)|Nothing at the End of the Lane]]'')

Arriving in [[Afghanistan]] in [[1842]] during the [[First Afghan War]], the Doctor lost Ian when he was kidnapped by a brutal Gilzia chieftain called [[Gul Zaheer]]. Unable to track them down, the Doctor spent a month gathering Afghan allies to help him rescue Ian and another British prisoner, [[Symonds]]. But he was too late to stop Zaheer killing Symonds, so an enraged Ian killed Zaheer by throwing him into a pit. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Mire and Clay (short story)|Mire and Clay]]'') Shortly after, the Doctor and Ian stopped a Blue plague in [[2908]] [[Prague]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Room for Improvement (short story)|Room for Improvement]]'')

They later landed in a flotila of ships on the planet [[Hydra (planet)|Hydra]] where they were captured by [[Amyra Kaan]] and [[Pan Vexel]] for being stowaways. When the ship the TARDIS was on he became concerned on finding it. When he learned that Ian was in danger on a rescue mission when a Voord came close to them, he wanted Ian's team recalled. He ordered Susan and Barbara to evacuate the [[Fortitude (Domain of the Voord)|Fortitude]] whilst he helped Ian. He went into a coma after he escaped the ship but later escaped from the infirmary soon after. He then spent his time trying to work out how to defeat the Voord. [[Tarlak]] wanted to stop him by threatening to convert Susan into a Voord. He then used the machine the Voord were constructing against them to by confusing their foot soldiers and destroying it. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Domain of the Voord (audio story)|Domain of the Voord]]'')

The Doctor and his friends next helped the human population of a distant planet escape the planet's destruction, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[City at World's End (novel)|City at World's End]]'') and visited the village of Salem during the Witch Trials. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Witch Hunters (novel)|The Witch Hunters]]'')

The TARDIS then landed on the [[Earth Benchmarking Vessel Nevermore]]. Telling Ian and Barbara they were still on probation, the Doctor and his fellow travellers began to explore and found the ship could punch holes through the fabric of space, appalling the Doctor. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Here There Be Monsters (audio story)|Here There Be Monsters]]'')

=== Leaving Susan behind ===

In London during the time of the [[22nd century Dalek invasion]], Susan met [[David Campbell]], a young man fighting against the Dalek occupation. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth (TV story)|The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]'') Realising Susan was in love, and "needed to make [her] own way", ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Forgotten (comic story)|The Forgotten]]'') the Doctor reluctantly left her behind, promising to return, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Dalek Invasion of Earth (TV story)|The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]'') though he did not until his [[Eighth Doctor|eighth incarnation]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Legacy of the Daleks (novel)|Legacy of the Daleks]]'') He continued to question his decision for centuries to come, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Forgotten (comic story)|The Forgotten]]'') and even slept through a materialisation because of his sorrow. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Rescue (TV story)|The Rescue]]'') Ian believed that locking Susan out of the TARDIS was the bravest thing that he ever saw the Doctor do. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Revenants (audio story)|The Revenants]]'')

The Doctor almost lost Ian and Barbara as companions when they considered settling down in [[1950s]] Shoreditch, and he spent four months investigating the [[Stone of Scone]] in [[Scotland]]. Shortly after this, Ian and Barbara decided life in the 1950s would be too difficult and rejoined the Doctor aboard the TARDIS. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Set in Stone (short story)|Set in Stone]]'')

Travelling on with his two companions, the Doctor went on the trail of an energy being known as the [[Vrij]] and followed it to [[1553]] England, where he, Ian and Barbara met Queen of England, [[Jane Grey]]. Defeating the Vril, who had possessed the Duke of Northumberland, the Doctor resisted the urge to alter Jane's fate, instead being by her side as she died. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Nine-Day Queen (short story)|The Nine-Day Queen]]'')

=== More companions ===

Still struggling to adapt to life without Susan, the Doctor, Ian and Barbara ended up on [[Dido]], where they met two survivors of a crashed spaceship, [[Vicki Pallister]] and [[Bennett (The Rescue)|Bennett]], and learnt a being called Koquillion had embarked on a reign of terror, leaving those who survived his wraith greatly fearful of him. However, the Doctor soon discovered Bennett was actually Koquillion after he caused the crash when he was unmasked as a killer to prevent the crew from radioing back to Earth. He killed the crew, many Dido natives, but spared Vicki so she would back up his story when the rescue crew came to collect them. Just as Bennett prepared to kill the Doctor, two Dido natives saved him and forced Bennett to his death. With all of her associates dead, Vicki joined the Doctor in the TARDIS, providing him  with a new youngster to care for as had been the case with Susan. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Rescue (TV story)|The Rescue]]'')

Immediately following their departure from Dido, the TARDIS landed in 64 AD in the area just beyond the great metropolis [[Byzantium (city)|Byzantium]]. Despite the Doctor's resignation at visiting the Roman empire, the group made their way to the city. After a week in Byzantium, the group prepared to go back to the TARDIS, but were instead caught up in a large Jewish revolt in the market-square, separating them. At least two weeks passed before the group was brought together again, but then the TARDIS was missing, and the group joined a travelling caravan moving towards Rome, in hopes of finding the TARDIS along the way. ([[PROSE]]:'' [[Byzantium! (novel)|Byzantium!]]'')

When they landed in London and met [[Violet (Starborn)|Violet]] and when he discovered she was a medium he made it known that he disapproved of such a thing. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Starborn (audio story)|Starborn]]'')

Their next adventure took the group to [[1605]] London, mere days away from the [[Gunpowder Plot]]. After encouraging Barbara and Ian to enjoy a showing of Shakespeare's plays at the Theatre, the Doctor took Vicki to the court of King [[James I]], disguised as a priest of York, with Vicki as his young male ward. Following the Doctor's unravelling of the true mastermind of the plot, a young member of a secret society plotting for England to fall into darkness, the group left once more in the TARDIS, which was undergoing a lengthy exorcism, believed to be a temple of Satan. ([[PROSE]]:'' [[The Plotters (novel)|The Plotters]]'')

He tried to track the location of the TARDIS by creating a complex routing system. He later decided to move to a retirement home as part of his investigation. He realised that the society was being manipulated to forget a terrible war. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Unwinding World (audio story)|The Unwinding World]]'')

[[File:The_Chase.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor battles his robot double. ([[TV]]: "[[The Death of Doctor Who]]")]]

There, the Daleks created an android version of the Doctor, which Ian believed to be the Doctor and ended up fighting the "real" Doctor as he thought he was the fake, until the Dalek-controlled Doctor called Vicki Susan. The next day, the Doctor and his friends were captured by the [[Mechonoid]]s and imprisoned in the city with [[Steven Taylor]], a stranded Earth astronaut. The Doctor escaped, leaving the Daleks and Mechanoids to destroy themselves in a pitched battle for supremacy of the city. Steven got lost in the battle and was presumed dead by the travellers, but he had in fact stowed away in the TARDIS. Preparing to leave, the Doctor was wary when Ian and Barbara asked him to help them use the Daleks time machine to finally return home. Although he was sorry to bid farewell to them, he did as they asked. A while later, he and Vicki observed them back in [[Shoreditch]] on the Visualiser. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Chase (TV story)|The Chase]]'')  

[[File:The Doctor & The Monk.jpg|thumb|185x185px|The Doctor confronts the Monk over his meddling ways. ([[TV]]: [[A Battle of Wits]])]]

The Doctor and Vicki were shocked to find Steven Taylor aboard the TARDIS as the ship landed in [[1066]] [[Northumbria]]. To his great dismay, the Doctor discovered another member of his race, [[the Monk]], was scheming to alter history by luring and destroying a Viking fleet with an [[atomic cannon]], which would result in King [[Harold Godwinson]] winning the [[Battle of Hastings]]. After the Monk was driven out of his [[monastery]] by [[Saxon]]s, the Doctor, Vicki and Steven infiltrated [[the Monk's TARDIS]] and stole the [[dimensional control]]. When the Monk tried to take off after his plans failed, the interior of his TARDIS began to shrink beyond use, trapping him in 1066. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time Meddler (TV story)|The Time Meddler]]'')

He landed in [[10 Downing Street]], where he was intrigued in investigating the attic instead of going back to the TARDIS. When Vicki found a television set in the attic he became agitated as they didn't exist in [[1900]]. He couldn't identify the fungus that was growing in the attic but when he realised it was time active they had to make sure it wouldn't contaminated it and therefore the rest of time and space. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Upstairs (audio story)|Upstairs]]'')

They landed in [[London]] in [[1762]] where they were locked out of the TARDIS. When the Doctor realised the date, he knew that the only person that could help them get back into the TARDIS was [[Benjamin Franklin]]. He helped him with his experiments on electricity. He initially believed that [[Abigail Holt]] came from the future. He managed to use a lighting bolt to help open the TARDIS. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Founding Fathers (audio story)|The Founding Fathers]]'')

[[File:Hartnell 1 (Three...).jpg|thumb|The Doctor communicated with his two successors. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Three Doctors (TV story)|The Three Doctors]]'')]]

=== Fighting the Daleks ===

Shortly after celebrating Christmas the TARDIS collided with another ship. They landed on a dessert island with the crew of the other ship. He discovered that the ship was an experimental time ship which was going to be used in a war. Later he encountered a [[Time Sprite]] which he thought shouldn't exist. The island was created as a form of recuperation from the TARDIS emergency systems.  ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Anachronauts (audio story)|The Anachronauts]]'')

While dreaming, the Doctor travelled to the Underworld to guide Katarina through it. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Katarina in the Underworld (short story)|Katarina in the Underworld]]'')

When they visited the [[Great Clock]], the Doctor thought he was being dragged there. He was intreagued into the working of the clock. He discovered that the clock was powered by prisoners and decided to sabotage it, which also saved Sara. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Guardian of the Solar System (audio story)|The Guardian of the Solar System]]'')

The Doctor, Steven and Sara then landed in [[Ely]] in a house which had a secret. He theorised that the house could sense what you desired. Exploring the house they found dead bodies. He wanted to investigate but Steven got annoyed  when he couldn't find a way to get out of the house. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Home Truths (audio story)|Home Truths]]'')

They later landed in [[London]] in the [[1950s]], when they were ejected from the TARDIS with the Doctor unconscious.  He later went missing with the TARDIS for a couple of weeks, until Steven found him in the Docks where the [[Anemone changeling (An Ordinary Life)|Anemone changeling]] had taken him. He managed to escape after Steven found him and he managed to find Sara. He went with Sara to a pub where he noticed that the changelings where near him by the fact that people from different races were integrating. He had to stay at the pub with [[Audrey Newman]]'s baby as he couldn't move. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[An Ordinary Life (audio story)|An Ordinary Life]]'')

=== Time alone ===

[[File:HurndallScowl.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor in his [[Fifth Doctor|fifth incarnation]]'s [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'')]]

While he tried to look for ways of rectifying his relationship with Steven by visiting a rose garden for some peace and contemplation, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Roses (short story)|Roses]]'') the Doctor was taken by the [[Time scoop]] to the [[Death Zone]], where he was briefly reunited with Susan. While there, he defeated a Dalek by trapping it in a narrow corridor, where its own weapons fire ricocheted back at itself, destroying it. He was reunited with his second and third incarnations, and met his [[Fifth Doctor|fifth incarnation]], [[Tegan Jovanka]] and [[Vislor Turlough]]. He also briefly met a future incarnation of [[The Master]], though didn't recognise him. He was the only one of the four incarnations of the Doctor present who realised the true meaning of the inscriptions related to the immortality offered by [[Rassilon]], and triggered the events leading to [[Borusa]]'s eternal imprisonment within a sarcophagus. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'')

After stopping off on Earth in [[2067]], the Doctor arrived on the homeworld of the [[Ethereal (The Cloud Exiles)|Ethereal]]s and was captured by living clouds. He learned that they were Ethereals, who had been turned into clouds by their former servants, the [[Baggolt]]s. The Doctor restored their original bodies and helped them put an end to the Baggolt rebellion. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Cloud Exiles (short story)|The Cloud Exiles]]'')

[[File:Doctor Who and the Daleks First Doctor attacked by Voord.jpg|thumb|The Doctor is attacked by a Voord. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Daleks (short story)|Doctor Who and the Daleks]]'')]]

In the pod, he was attacked by the [[Chief Voord]], but gained his trust after saving his life. The two then learned that the Great Power was a [[mushroom]] whose juice would expand minds to exponential amounts. The Daleks were looking for the mushroom in the wilderness, and the pair hatched a scheme for the Chief Voord to lead them to the mushrooms. At first, the Daleks grew extremely intelligent due to the juice, but they all soon perished due to its poisonous nature. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Daleks (short story)|Doctor Who and the Daleks]]'')

=== John and Gillian ===

{{Section stub|Info from ''[[Deadly Vessel (comic story)|Deadly Vessel]]'' & ''[[Kingdom of the Animals (comic story)|Kingdom of the Animals]]'' needs to be added}}

The Doctor landed the TARDIS in an empty yard in [[1960]]s England. During that time, he made contact with his grandchildren, [[John and Gillian]]. When the children began fiddling with the ship's controls, the TARDIS was transported to the [[30th century]], the Doctor and his grandchildren saved the peaceful [[Thain]]s from being enslaved by the [[Klepton]]s. Declining the offer to stay a little longer with the Thains, the Doctor set about trying to return his grandchildren home. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Klepton Parasites (comic story)|The Klepton Parasites]]'')

Taking his grandchildren to [[Vortis]], the Doctor was attacked by the [[Zarbi]] and saved by the Menoptera, who asked him to investigate the Zarbi's strange new powers. They discovered a crashed spaceship and a slave camp of Menoptera in the mountains. After being ambushed by Zarbi, the Doctor was held hostage and discovered the alien [[Skirkon]]s were impersonating the Zarbi and using [[Galvinium X]], the rarest mineral in the universe, to build bombs to engulf the universe. The Doctor was rescued by John and Gillian, and destroyed the Galvinium X machine, freeing the Menoptra slaves and defeating the Skirkons. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[On the Web Planet (comic story)|On the Web Planet]]'')

Visiting the planet [[Gyros]], Gillian was kidnapped by the sphere-like [[Gyro]]s. The Doctor tried to save her, but he and John were forced to retreat into the TARDIS, which was attacked and crashed underground. Aided by a group of tribesmen living in fear of the Gyros, the Doctor chased the Gyros to the Valley of Flames and stopped them from burning his granddaughter alive. Afterwards, he left the population to deal with the Gyros and whisked his grandchildren off to safety, away from the planet. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Gyros Injustice (comic story)|The Gyros Injustice]]'')

[[File:Santa Who.jpg|thumb|180x|left|The Doctor meets [[Santa Claus]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[A Christmas Story (comic story)|A Christmas Story]]'')]]

At [[Christmas]], the Doctor took his grandchildren to meet [[Santa Claus]] at his relocated workshop on an alien planet and helped him defeat the [[Demon Magician]], an entity who was intent on ruining Christmas by halting work at the toyshop. The Doctor ended up trapping it in a toy rocket. As a sign of his gratitude, Santa lit up the sky with a huge message whilst on his rounds - "HAPPY JOURNEY TO TARDIS". ([[COMIC]]: ''[[A Christmas Story (comic story)|A Christmas Story]]'')

[[File:ZooDidus.jpg|thumb|The Doctor, [[John and Gillian]] are guided around a zoo. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Didus Expedition (comic story)|The Didus Expedition]]'')]]

=== Accompanied again ===

Events of St Bartholomew's eve added additional strain to his relationship with Steven, who briefly left the TARDIS following a subsequent bloody adventure. Steven immediately returned, however, when a girl named [[Dodo Chaplet]] forced her way into the TARDIS. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve (TV story)|The Massacre of St. Bartholomew's Eve]]'')

[[File:NHS cutbacks.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor gets his tooth removed. ([[TV]]: "[[A Holiday for the Doctor]]")]]

When he landed on [[Kappa 537]], [[Ulysses 519]] he encountered the [[Rocket Men]] at the time of Steven's 21st birthday before Steven had travelled with the Doctor. He helped the locals on the planet to sort out of the oxygenators to help them colonised the planet. He tried to find a way to distract the Rocket Men to allow Steven to carry out his plans. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Return of the Rocket Men (audio story)|Return of the Rocket Men]]'')

The Doctor, Steven and Dodo arrived on [[Planet (The Savages)|a planet]] where two very different peoples, the [[Elder]]s and the [[Savage (The Savages)|Savages]], shared a life. The Elders led a very civilised lifestyle, but their intelligence was gained by draining the life energy from the Savages. The Doctor stopped this cruel practice with the aid of a group of Savages by destroying the laboratory and equipment that transferred energy from the Savages, and left Steven behind to keep the peace between the two groups for the future.

The TARDIS landed in what appeared to be Paris just after the French Revolution, but history had been perversely warped. Dodo and the Doctor became separated, with Dodo being taken in by a travelling troupe of actors, and the Doctor being held prisoner in the Bastille. They discovered that the history in which they had landed was an altered history, made by aliens whose curiosity made them rewrite history to the designs of a depressed [[Marquis de Sade]]. After correcting history, Dodo and the Doctor left the alternate France behind. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Man in the Velvet Mask (novel)|The Man in the Velvet Mask]]'')

=== Alone again ===

   

After his retirement ended, the Doctor shared a couple of glasses of [[Medoc]] with [[John Lucarotti]] at the ''[[Auberge du Pont Romain]]'', and suggested that Lucarotti have a vacation to [[Samarkand]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Meeting (short story)|The Meeting]]'')

=== Nearing the end ===

After he inadvertently picked up [[Polly Wright]] and [[Ben Jackson]] as companions when they entered the TARDIS as it took off, ([[TV]]: ''[[The War Machines (TV story)|The War Machines]]'') the Doctor and his new friends got caught up with a band of smugglers led by Captain [[Samuel Pike]] as he searched for a lost treasure. Although the Doctor was forced to help Pike trace a series of clues to the location of the treasure in a local graveyard, the smugglers were eventually captured by the local revenue men and Pike was killed. After they left in the TARDIS, the Doctor assumed that they had landed "at the coldest place on Earth", ([[TV]]: ''[[The Smugglers (TV story)|The Smugglers]]'') it was soon revealed that they had actually landed in [[Lewes]] in the 1950s, where they became caught up in a series of local riots. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Bonfires of the Vanities (audio story)|The Bonfires of the Vanities]]'')

During a confrontation with the [[Schirr]] terrorists known as the [[Ten-Strong]], the Doctor put himself under great strain to hold back a paralysing pulse capable of immobilising eight people with his own mind. He was able to disrupt the cyber-telepathic link the Ten-Strong were trying to use by making contact with the consciousness of [[Shel]], an android who had been physically destroyed earlier but whose consciousness remained active in the network. As he and his companions departed, the Doctor began to reflect that he would soon feel a whole new person. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Ten Little Aliens (novel)|Ten Little Aliens]]'')

While dealing with a telepathic plague in the sixteenth century, the Doctor and his companions were assisted in curing the plague by another [[Time Lord]], [[The Player (The Plague of Dreams)|the Player]]. Once the initial virus had been dealt with, the Doctor had Polly confront the Player about his presence, and the Player explained that a force from the future had been interfering with the Doctor's timeline to prevent his regeneration into [[War Doctor|an incarnation who would be needed in a great conflict]]. Although the Player revealed that the Doctor would not become this incarnation for some time, the Doctor accepted the need to fulfil his destiny and return to the South Pole so that history could unfold as it should.

Before Antarctica, the TARDIS fell out of the vortex, caught in the descent of an [[Angel (Falling)|Angel]] falling through [[reality]]. Landing on an [[Planet (Falling)|unnamed planet]], the Doctor, Ben, and Polly spoke to the Angel, who told them all beings were always falling, and to let go. When the Angel faded away, the time travellers departed. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Falling (audio story)|Falling]]'')

=== Last stand at Snowcap Base ===

After the [[Eleventh Doctor]] was accused of committing deadly crimes against the [[Overcast]], he brooded in the TARDIS for two days, imagining all his previous numbered incarnations, including the First Doctor, interrogating him over the crimes. When he offered the rationale that he always left things better than he found them, they all turned and left him in disgust and disgrace. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Pull to Open (comic story)|Pull to Open]]'')

When [[Clara Oswald]] entered the Doctor's [[time stream]], she saw the First Doctor walk past her when the Eleventh Doctor claimed that "everything around [her] was [him]". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Name of the Doctor (TV story)|The Name of the Doctor]]'')

When he was exposed to energy from a [[time storm]], the [[Twelfth Doctor]] degenerated through all of his previous incarnations, including the First Doctor, who appeared in the form of "a frail young boy." ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Lost Magic (audio story)|The Lost Magic]]'')

During the 50th anniversary year, in 2013, Hartnell appeared in [[TV]]: ''[[The Name of the Doctor (TV story)|The Name of the Doctor]]'' by way of manipulated stock footage and audio, allowing the actor to posthumously share dialogue with [[Jenna-Louise Coleman]] playing a "splinter" of [[Clara Oswald]].
