According to {{Pratt}}, the Doctor left Gallifrey on a whim because [[The Doctor's TARDIS|an unlocked TARDIS]] was nearby, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Light at the End (audio story)|The Light at the End]]'') while [[Clara Oswald]] told [[Robin Hood]] that the Doctor "was moved to steal a TARDIS [and] fly among the stars, fighting the good fight" because he "[found] the plight of the oppressed and weak too much to bear", something the [[Twelfth Doctor]] did not dispute. ([[TV]]: ''[[Robot of Sherwood (TV story)|Robot of Sherwood]]'') The Doctor grew a bond with that TARDIS, describing it as "the most beautiful thing [he] ever saw" upon first entering it, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Wife (TV story)|The Doctor's Wife]]'') after stealing it from a [[TARDIS repair shop]] at the [[Boulevard of Grand Milieu]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Celestial Intervention - A Gallifreyan Noir (short story)|Celestial Intervention - A Gallifreyan Noir]]'') When confronted with [[TARDIS (Prisoners of Fate)|his first TARDIS]], the [[Fifth Doctor]] would claim he had no time to pick and choose, and had needed to find the first TARDIS he could "lay his hands on".

The Doctor also took the [[Hand of Omega]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'') some [[validium]], and Gallifrey's moon when he left, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Brief History of Time Lords (novel)|A Brief History of Time Lords]]'') and brought Susan with him as an accidental passenger | The Doctor also took the [[Hand of Omega]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'') some [[validium]], and Gallifrey's moon when he left, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Brief History of Time Lords (novel)|A Brief History of Time Lords]]'') and brought Susan with him, either as an accidental passenger ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Here There Be Monsters (audio story)|Here There Be Monsters]]'') or on purpose, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Beginning (audio story)|The Beginning]]'') having decided it was best to do so to prevent her from being brainwashed and regimented in the thought patterns of the Time Lords.
