([[TV]]: ''[[Terror of the Autons (TV story)|Terror of the Autons]]'') [[The Doctor]] learned to fly in their [[Second Doctor|second incarnation]] from the book ''[[Levitation Universal Edition]]'', and gleefully used this newfound ability in the course of his regular activities for some time after discovering the "talent" he had for it. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Levitation (comic story)|Levitation]]'') However, later incarnations of the Doctor were not so keen to fly; the [[Fourth Doctor]] and [[Romana II]] briefly considered flying to get to the top of the Tower, though they eventually took the [[lift]]s up the [[Eiffel Tower]] because flying would have been too conspicuous.
