The '''Eleventh Doctor''' is the name given to the eleventh incarnation of the [[Time Lord]] known as [[the Doctor]].  


After the [[Tenth Doctor]] absorbed a great deal of radiation, he regenerated into a new incarnation in a violent regeneration that set the [[TARDIS]] on fire and sent it on a crash course.  
At present, very little is known about him beyond his initial moments (see "Regeneration", below) other than that his first confirmed companion is a young female named [[Amy Pond]] <ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8158556.stm New Doctor Who costume revealed]</ref> and that he dresses in a tweed jacket, bow tie, rolled up trousers and black boots, and that this incarnation appears to have a more youthful physical appearance than any of his predecessors. [[The Doctor's TARDIS]] appears to have also undergone some cosmetic changes coinciding with his emergence, the full extent of which are as yet unknown (though it is known that the [[First Doctor]]'s St John ambulance badge will be restored to the TARDIS).
<!---Please do not add speculation or information that is not from an official source such as the BBC, DWM or one of the production team (no tabloid newspaper reports!). At present (November 2009) all we know about the Eleventh Doctor is his companion's name and his style of dress, and the change in appearance of the TARDIS.-->
 
==Biography==
===Regeneration===
The [[Tenth Doctor|Doctor's tenth incarnation]] regenerated after absorbing a vast amount of radiation; due to this, he released too much energy during regeneration and[[File:Matt-Smith-Regeneration-2.jpg|left|thumb|The Eleventh Doctor moments after his regeneration. ([[DW]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'')]] this caused severe damage to the [[TARDIS]].  


The new incarnation's first priority was to do a personal inventory of his body to make sure all the proper parts were in place; in fact, his first words were "Legs! I've still got legs! Good!" after which he kissed one of his knees in relief. He next counted his fingers. The new incarnation was momentarily worried that he had regenerated as female due to having longer hair until he confirmed the presence of an Adam's apple. He then mentioned "[[Third Doctor|I've had worse]]" when it came to his nose, seemed unsettled by his jaw, and again bemoaned the fact that he was still not ginger (something his previous incarnation had also wanted to be ([[DW]]: ''[[The Christmas Invasion]]'')).

Slightly addled by the regeneration, the new Doctor did not immediately realize the TARDIS was on fire, but once he realized, he actually seemed to enjoy the thrill of the moment, calling out "Geronimo!" as his TARDIS plummeted to Earth.

When the Eleventh Doctor was born, he first checked all his body parts were there, and was initially led to believe by his long hair that he was a girl and like his [[Tenth Doctor | predecssor]] upon his birth was disappointed to not be ginger. He then remembered that the TARDIS was crashing back down to Earth. He reacted to the crash with mad glee, calling out "GERONIMO!" as it went down.
