Fifth Doctor: Difference between revisions

Whilst it is implied that [[Sixth Doctor|his immediate successor]] hated being this incarnation, his [[Tenth Doctor|tenth incarnation]] expressed a fond enjoyment whilst living as this incarnation. He looked upon his fifth incarnation as a turning point in his lives. Prior to this he had a penchant for being "old and grumpy and important, like you do when you're young," but it was his fifth incarnation where he truly began to enjoy himself (an ironic statement considering the darkness surrounding the death of Adric and the departures of Tegan and Nyssa). He admitted to his earlier self that certain aspects of his wardrobe and personality were influenced by his fifth incarnation, "because you were my Doctor". ([[DW]]: ''[[Time Crash]]''). This statement is also an in-reference to Tenth Doctor actor David Tennant having watched Peter Davison's Fifth Doctor performance when he was younger and the former's frequent statement that Davison was "his doctor". The ninth and eleventh incarnations also seemed to have inherited this Doctors poor piloting skills. While inside the Doctor's dreamscape, [[Ace]] discovered that this incarnation in the Doctor's subconscious had come to personify the conscience of his future selves, reflecting his strong sense of compassion.
