Bumptious, melodramatic, and above all stubborn, the '''Sixth Doctor''' instantly believed himself superior to almost anyone he encountered. He would often browbeat others into submission with his savage wit and his grammarian's interest in language. Even so, his mercurial and flippant tendencies did not define the true heart of his persona. Beneath his thunderous and turbulent exterior, he was quite the opposite: a passionate, warm, virtuous and empathetic individual.
As loud in clothing as he was in voice, the '''Sixth Doctor''' would often browbeat others into submission with his savage wit and grammarian's interest in language. Passionate, warm and virtuous, he held a thunderous and turbulent exterior that initially manifested as righteous indignation or smug self-satisfaction, but, as he acquired a larger entourage of companions, he mellowed out of his faults and became a man of genuine zest and charm.  


He was profoundly difficult with his first [[companion]], [[Peri Brown]], whom he initially challenged for her use of [[American]] [[English language|English]] and her as-yet-incomplete education. Indeed, during the early hours after his [[regeneration]] he physically assaulted her due to post-regenerative paranoia. It took considerable time for himself and Peri to stop bickering and speak together on amiable terms, but the Sixth Doctor eventually became someone she could rely upon. With enough distance from the regenerative event, she was able to look to the Doctor for strength after her mother's death.
He was profoundly difficult with his first [[companion]], [[Peri Brown]], even strangling her out of sheer paranoia mere hours after his [[regeneration]]. While their relationship remained vitriolic during their adventures on [[Telos]] and [[Varos]], the Doctor's affirmation on Peri's importance to him during their battle against the [[First Rani]] and the [[Tremas Master]] at [[Killingworth]] proved that he was someone she could rely upon, even if he indulged in more extreme solutions, such as killing the [[Androgum]] [[Shockeye]] in an act of pure self-preservation. While taking some solo adventures to mellow out of his violent tendencies, the Doctor faced [[Davros]] again and also briefly reunited with [[Tegan Jovanka]], with him and Peri later meeting [[H. G. Wells]] during an adventure on [[Karfel]] and stopping Davros' schemes at [[Tranquil Repose]].


Despite his bluster, the Sixth Doctor did possess great reserves of compassion. His gentler side began to blossom largely as a consequence of travelling with [[Evelyn Smythe]], a university lecturer whose verbal dexterity was on a par with his own. Also helpful to this transition were [[Frobisher]], a [[shapeshifter|shapeshifting]] private eye who often masqueraded as a [[penguin]], [[Flip Jackson]], a young woman from twenty-first century [[London]], and [[Melanie Bush]], a brilliant computer programmer from Earth in the [[1980s]].
Further adventures to the likes of [[Blackpool]] and [[Magnus (planet)|Magnus]] improved their bond to the point that Peri looked to the Doctor for strength after her mother's death, which also untethered her from Earth and allowed her to devote herself to traveling in the TARDIS. Though they were duped by temporary companion [[Joe Carnaby]] into reviving his [[Were Lord]] brethren, the pair had a better relationship with their next companion, the [[Whifferdill]] [[Frobisher]], whom the Doctor met while Peri was staying in [[1985]] [[New York City]], though he chose to leave the TARDIS sometime after they saw [[Jamie McCrimmon]] die fighting the [[Cybermen]].


A dominant feature of his life was yet another [[Time Lord]] trial. Though this one sought to blame him for a shifting docket of crimes, it in fact turned out to be an elaborate ruse. He later found himself in a reverse situation where he became the prosecutor against [[the Valeyard]], the malicious being that had framed him in an attempt to steal his [[regeneration]]s. He discovered that the Valeyard's dubious existence was somehow tied to his own and took shape from his inherently darker characteristics.
The Doctor and Peri continued to travel together until they were separated shortly after their trip to [[Ravolox]], when the Doctor was [[The Doctor's trial (The Mysterious Planet)|forced to stand trial]] against the Time Lords in an impartial inquiry on his character, where his prosecutor, [[the Valeyard]], showed him Peri being killed on [[Thoros-Beta]]. The Doctor tried to explain he would improve in the future by showing an adventure he would have with [[Mel Bush]] on the ''[[Hyperion III]]'', only to then be charged with [[genocide]] against the [[Vervoid]]s. However, the arrival of the Master showed the trial to be a farce orchestrated by the Time Lords to discredit the Doctor, and also revealed the Valeyard to be a future personification of the Doctor himself, using the trial for his own agenda. After he managed to defeat the Valeyard, the Doctor was told that Peri was still alive, the reports on her death having been falsified.


Long after this trial, the Doctor was slowly manipulated by the Valeyard across different moments of his life until the Valeyard had the means to replace all Time Lords in existence. Forced to arrange his own demise to prevent this genocidal plot, the Sixth Doctor was influenced by his next incarnation into inadvertently crossing paths with {{O'Mara}}, who dealt him a fatal blow. He regenerated, putting his future in the hands of [[Seventh Doctor|his successor]].
Although he left the trial happy in the knowledge that Peri had married, the revelation that the Valeyard's dubious existence was tied to his own left the Doctor to fall into a depression and try to live reclusively, even when taking on companions such as [[Grant Markham]] and [[Mathew Sharpe]], until the [[Fates]] reassured him that becoming the Valeyard was but one of many possible timeline restored him from his funk. Now seeking out Peri, the Doctor learnt that the Time Lords' manipulations on Thoros-Beta had spawned multiple versions of her. He also spent time stranded in [[1890s]] [[London]], where he became reacquainted with [[Henry Gordon Jago]] and Professor [[George Litefoot]], even taking them on a quick trip after retrieving his TARDIS.
 
During a visit to [[Sheffield Hallam University]], the Doctor found himself being forced to take on history lecturer [[Evelyn Smythe]] as a companion, with her verbal dexterity being on par with his own. While being troubled again by [[Thomas Brewster]] led them to meeting [[Flip Jackson]] and [[Patricia Menzies]], it was their battles with [[William Abberton|Nimrod]] and [[the Forge]] that saw the Doctor learn true humility from Evelyn when she confronted him on his flippant attitude towards death. Now reassured that the life he thought would be "short, but sweet", could progressed further, the Doctor continued to travel with Evelyn until she chose to settle down on [[Világ]].
 
The Doctor's following adventures saw him reunite with Frobisher, befriend [[Jason (The Ultimate Adventure)|Jason]], [[Crystal (The Ultimate Adventure)|Crystal]] and [[Zog (The Ultimate Adventure)|Zog]], briefly travel with UNIT operatives [[Will Hoffman]] and [[Emily Chaudhry]], try to unravel the mystery of [[Charley Pollard]] until she was erased from his memory, and return to the [[Land of Fiction]] to help [[Zoe Heriot]] fend of the Cybermen with [[Jamie McCrimmon (Land of Fiction)|a fictional construct]] of Jamie.
 
As he was slowly manipulated by the Valeyard across different moments of his life, the Doctor found himself reuniting with Flip while stopping Davros from altering the [[Battle of Waterloo]], and she joined him as a companion until she left to marry [[Jared Ramon]] just before the Doctor was rejoined in his travels by one of the versions of Peri. While traveling alone, the Doctor took on [[Bletchley Park]] WREN [[Constance Clarke]] as a companion, and they were swiftly joined by Flip when they found her in [[1948]] [[Vienna]], with the trio forming the "[[TARDIS Gang]]".
 
Eventually, the Doctor found himself meeting Mel Bush at [[Pease Pottage]] during an [[Auton]] invasion, and invited her to join him as a companion, fulfilling the future he had seen at his trial. Although he was annoyed by Mel's insistence on making him exercise and maintain a [[diet]], the pair came to form a close friendship as they voyaged to planets like [[Generios 1]], [[Lethe]] and [[Oxyveguramosa]]. Their travels saw the Doctor reunite with Evelyn, and later be joined by one of her old students, [[Hebe Harrison]].
 
Accounts vary on just how the Sixth Doctor [[regenerate]]d, though they all agree that his final flight saw him and Mel drawn to [[Lakertya]] by the Rani. While one account depicted him suffering a fatal head blow when his TARDIS was suddenly ensnared in a tractor beam before he could activate the defences, two differing accounts would elaborate that the Doctor was manipulated into ensuring his own demise in the attack by the unborn [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Fenric]]. A second account attributed his inability to survive the attack as being from fatigue after sacrificing his [[chronon energy]] to stop [[Monica Lamprey]] destroying the [[multiverse]]. A third account showed the Doctor having to arrange his own demise to prevent the Valeyard's plan to replace every Time Lord in existence by sending a message back down his timeline and coercing his younger self into entering the [[Lakertyan System]] and regenerating after being exposed to focused radiation beams that were fatal to Time Lords. Whatever the reasons, all accounts agreed that the Sixth Doctor regenerated into [[Seventh Doctor|his successor]] once his TARDIS was forced onto Lakertya by the Rani.

Travelling to the [[Gogglebox]] in search of a book he left behind on a previous trip, Peri learned of the death of a family friend, [[Anthony Chambers]], and the Doctor rushed her back to Earth in 1984, where he met Peri's mother, [[Janine Foster]], and her best friend, [[Katherine Chambers]]. He also learned that the Cybermen were converting the deceased, such as Anthony, and the Doctor was captured by the Cyber-Leader, who informed him that he had travelled back in time to lay a trap for the Doctor to force him to travel them back to Earth's early history and create a new timeline for the Cybermen.

Not yet wanting Tegan to leave, the Doctor did not tell her where they were, and took her to an abandoned burger van, where he asked her if she wanted to return home or keep travelling with him. When Tegan told him she had moved on from the TARDIS, the Doctor revealed to her she was at Heathrow Airport shortly before she was whisked away to the TARDIS. Satisfied that Tegan had made the most of her life, the Doctor parted ways with her on friendly terms. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Fixing a Hole (short story)|Fixing a Hole]]'')

Upon visiting an old friend, [[Threadstone (Vampire of the Mind)|Professor Threadstone]], the Doctor found out that he and other renowned scientists had gone missing, after having a project funded by the [[Dominus Institute]]. Suspecting [[the Master]]'s involvement, the Doctor travelled to the Institute with Threadstone's daughter, [[Heather]]. His suspicions were proven true: the Master, in a new body, had forced a [[Carmentine Mind Leach|Carmentine Mind Leech]] to empty the scientists' minds to feed herself, and set up a trap to lure the Doctor in, so he could empty his mind to fill in gaps in his own memory. The Doctor struck a deal with the Leach, allowing her to feed on his short-time memory to sustain herself, while draining the Master's mind afterwards; while this ruined the Master's plan overall, he gave him enough energy to escape in his TARDIS. As a result of the leach feeding, the Doctor lost his memories regarding this adventure, including the new appearance of the Master.

When the TARDIS became trapped between the Earth and the Moon in [[2040]], the Doctor leaned that the diagnostics he had performed on the TARDIS during his [[first incarnation]] had never stopped, even after linking with the Fecundatis Base on the Moon, causing [[Vishesh Abeyesekere]] and [[Pearl (Outsourcing)|Pearl]] to develop a symbiotic link with Fecundatis Base identical to the Doctor's symbiotic link with his TARDIS. Contacting Vishesh, the Doctor was informed that the [[fault locator]] considered him as a faulty component in the TARDIS, but Vish and Pearl convinced the TARDIS to overlook "the fault" and sent it on its way.

The Doctor disguised himself as a wax figure in the [[New Calamino Waxworks Museum]] in an attempt to stop an [[Auton]] plan, the [[Tiny Twin]] doll.

After a failed attempt to probe his mind to see if the Time Lords had sent him to intervene on their behalf, the Doctor pretended to be on the Mentors' side and helped a scientist named [[Crozier]] transplant the mind of [[Kiv]], the Mentor leader, to a deceased Mentor.

The two discovered the Doctor's TARDIS was emitting a dangerous form of temporal energy that was ageing the people of the planet into dust. While investigating, Peri contracted a deadly disease and died. Furious, the Doctor set about to uncover the plot he was being tangled in, and discovered that everything that had happened after his arrival had been a [[hallucination]] and that he was hooked up to a dream machine, with the demises of Peri and his TARDIS being used to lure the Doctor into committing suicide.

The Doctor and Mel arrived on [[Peladon]] and were caught in a mine collapse caused by an explosive. The Doctor was rescued by nearby villagers led by [[Helais]] and discovered their drinking water was contaminated. When Queen [[Minaris]] came to see the site of the disaster he was relieved to discover Mel was with her but infuriated that he couldn't convince the Queen to take action to help the people. As Helais led an insurrection against the monarch, the Doctor fruitlessly tried to stop the escalation but managed to halt Helais in the throne room.

After picking up a SOS from a rig in the [[North Sea]], the Doctor and Mel met surviving crew members including marine biologist [[Hebe Harrison]], who had sent the SOS thanks to a button on her mobile phone provided to her by her old tutor, the Doctor's former companion [[Evelyn Smythe]]. After discovering that the hostile behaviour of wildlife around the rig was because of the contaminated water supply and learning Hebe's connection to Evelyn, the Doctor allowed Hebe to join the TARDIS crew alongside Mel. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Rotting Deep (audio story)|The Rotting Deep]]'')
 
For Hebe's first trip, they arrived on [[the Moon]] in prehistoric times when it was covered by an ocean. There they discovered a native species, the [[Gillean]]s, and helped them come to terms with their nightly transformations into monsters, brought on by Earth's gravity which was also threatening the existence of the Moon's oceans. The trio subsequently aided the Gilleans in leaving the Moon by awakening their sentient city. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Tides of the Moon (audio story)|The Tides of the Moon]]'')
 
The trio travelled to [[Zoda-Kappa]] where they encountered [[the Holomorph]] and helped scientists devise a psionic transmitter with which they could cure a condition which had trapped half the Human Empire’s population in sleep, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Dream Nexus (audio story)|The Dream Nexus]]'') and then to the flooded world of [[Veludia]] where they found a group of survivors who survived by rotating three bodies as hosts for their minds. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Maelstrom (audio story)|Maelstrom]]'')
 
Following an identical distress signal from Hebe’s friend Elise, the trio travelled to [[Sheffield]] where they worked with [[Patricia McBride]] to investigate the [[Mindless Facility]], which had been brainwashing people in guise of well-being treatments, with the Doctor briefly succumbing to the treatment himself. They interfered with the treatments just in time to stop the process being applied to the [[Home Secretary]], after which the Doctor notified his friends at UNIT to clear up after the retreating aliens.

The Doctor, Mel and Hebe infiltrated the [[Emit Institute]] after Patricia called them upon discovering [[Killian Holm]] had recreated [[Neanderthal]]s there. He discovered Holm was exploiting a [[repair field]] from a crashed [[Soloch]] spaceship, which began using temporal reversal to repair itself and resurrect the pilot, causing chaos in the facility. The Doctor lured the Soloch away so Mel and Hebe could evacuate everyone to the TARDIS and reached the ship himself amid the [[time storm]] resulting from the temporal distortions. Afterwards he offered Patricia a lift home to Sheffield, though she requested a trip to the future first. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Reverse Engineering (audio story)|Reverse Engineering]]'')

The Doctor took the TARDIS to Sheffield in 2596 however Patricia quickly asked to leave. On their return journey to 21st century, the TARDIS encountered two individuals battling in the [[Time Vortex]], with the Doctor rescuing one, [[Tannus Vallon]], before the ship crash landed at its destination. As Vallon slowly recovered at Elise’s flat, the Doctor learnt he was a Chronomancer from [[Drornid]] in pursuit of a criminal possessing an [[Oubliette]], [[Khavûl]]. He picked up on Patricia’s behaviour whilst he investigated and eventually confronted her over her true views on tolerance, angrily telling her leave. Once Vallon recovered they went to the Oubliette, which they deduced was being exhibited as an artefact, but found Khavûl already there with Patricia. In the confrontation Vallon was killed and the Doctor disposed of the Oubliette before it could detonate. Returning to the TARDIS with Mel and Hebe, the Doctor was horrified when Hebe suddenly disappeared and the TARDIS records showed no sign of her ever having existed.

Contacted by [[Celestial Intervention Agency|CIA]] agent [[Straxus (The Light at the End)|Straxus]] as Peri vanished, the Sixth Doctor discovered that {{Pratt}} had blackmailed the CIA into giving him a [[conceptual bomb]], which he then set off inside the mind of [[Bob Dovie]] when he entered the [[Fifth Doctor]]'s TARDIS; Davie's refusal to accept its existence caused the TARDIS to explode in its own timeline until it never existed. The Sixth Doctor then expanded the dimensional stabiliser on Straxus' TARDIS and was able to summon his other seven incarnations to help stop the Master. The Fifth Doctor went to [[1962]], and showed Dovie the TARDIS then, so that he would not be dumbfounded by the TARDIS's interior and therefore preventing the bomb's detonation. The Sixth Doctor then joined his other seven incarnations in preparing to [[time ram]] [[the Master's TARDIS]]. However, rather than kill the Master, the [[First Doctor]] instead turned off the automatic distress actions, which had brought all of the Doctors to the pocket dimension and triggered the TARDIS' destruction, making it so none of that had happened.

==== Facing the final curtain ====
The Doctor tried to travel to the [[Lakertyan System]], but discovered there was deadly radiation nearby and quickly fled, attempting to take Mel to [[Zastros 8]], but instead ending up on [[Zastros 9]], a totalitarian state, and becoming caught up in another situation they only narrowly escaped from when the planet's denizens set chase after them. Back on board his TARDIS, the Doctor found the underside of the TARDIS console smoking. As he went to examine the problem, his consciousness was suddenly transported to the Matrix, and the Valeyard took over his body. Inside the Matrix, the Doctor met a Gallifreyan technician named [[Genesta]], who warned him he was dying. He eventually discovered her to be the Valeyard in disguise.

After sending his past self the message, therefore undoing all the damage the Valeyard managed to inflict on history, the Valeyard found himself reduced to a powerless form in the Matrix, cut off from the universe and left to shrivel up and die, though it also meant the end for the Sixth Doctor as well. His consciousness began to wane in the wake of time being rewritten, and he sensed the change occurring. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Brink of Death (audio story)|The Brink of Death]]'')

[[File:6 and Peri on Elevator.JPG|thumb|left|The Sixth Doctor and Peri investigate. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Light at the End (audio story)|The Light at the End]]'')]]
With the satisfaction of performing the greater good always at the heart of his actions, the Sixth Doctor held a thunderous presence that remained unwavering and uncompromising when confronting the evils of the universe, with the Doctor likening himself to a heroic [[knight errant]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma (TV story)|The Twin Dilemma]]'') Just as likely as he was to be a mischievously cuddly theatrical as he was a viciously intelligent sarcastic, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Bloodtide (audio story)|Bloodtide]]'') he revelled in taking people by surprise by performing the unexpected, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Mysterious Planet (TV story)|The Mysterious Planet]]'') and often browbeat others into submission with his grammarian use of language, with [[Banto Zame]] complaining that "talking [to him was] like arguing with a thesaurus", ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The One Doctor (audio story)|The One Doctor]]'') and [[Sabalom Glitz]] saying the Doctor could "talk an ayatollah into opening an off-licence". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Mission: Impractical (novel)|Mission: Impractical]]'')
In a negated timeline, the Doctor and Peri were almost forced to land at the [[Event One|Big Bang]] due to mysterious coordinates being sent to the TARDIS. Escaping the explosion, the Doctor and Peri arrived at a [[Vess]] warehouse, and learnt the full magnitude of the situation with the [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Ace]]. Contacted by [[Celestial Intervention Agency|CIA]] agent [[Straxus (The Light at the End)|Straxus]] as Peri vanished, the Sixth Doctor discovered that {{Pratt}} had blackmailed the CIA into giving him a [[conceptual bomb]], which he then set off inside the mind of [[Bob Dovie]] when he entered the [[Fifth Doctor]]'s TARDIS; Davie's refusal to accept its existence caused the TARDIS to explode in its own timeline until it never existed. The Sixth Doctor then expanded the dimensional stabiliser on Straxus' TARDIS and was able to summon his other seven incarnations to help stop the Master. The Fifth Doctor went to [[1962]], and showed Dovie the TARDIS then, so that he would not be dumbfounded by the TARDIS's interior and therefore preventing the bomb's detonation. The Sixth Doctor then joined his other seven incarnations in preparing to [[time ram]] [[the Master's TARDIS]]. However, rather than kill the Master, the [[First Doctor]] instead turned off the automatic distress actions, which had brought all of the Doctors to the pocket dimension and triggered the TARDIS' destruction, making it so none of that had happened. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Light at the End (audio story)|The Light at the End]]'')


Though he tried to remain detached from his surroundings, even imploring others to likewise not "get emotional" when facing painful revelations, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Mysterious Planet (TV story)|The Mysterious Planet]]'') the Doctor was quick to act when the situation called for it, with not even his companions being able to get in his way. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma (TV story)|The Twin Dilemma]]'', ''[[The Mysterious Planet (TV story)|The Mysterious Planet]]'', ''[[The Ultimate Foe (TV story)|The Ultimate Foe]]'') While his primary concern was helping others in need, ([[TV]]: ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack of the Cybermen]]'') the Doctor tried not to think about his actions in advance. ([[TV]]: ''[[Mindwarp (TV story)|Mindwarp]]'')
=== Parallel universes ===
 
During the fight with the [[Lamprey]], several alternate Doctors were travelling with different companions, such as [[Evelyn Smythe]], a half [[Cyberman|cyber-converted]] Evelyn Smythe, [[Frobisher]], a human/[[Silurian]] hybrid [[Melanie Baal]], and [[Peri Brown]]. One Doctor, hailing from a timeline where Rome never fell, lost his left eye in the events that led to the death of his companion Perpugilliam of the Brown, keeping the injury as a reminder of his shame. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Spiral Scratch (novel)|Spiral Scratch]]'')
Preferring to face danger to the end instead of living in fear, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma (TV story)|The Twin Dilemma]]'') the Sixth Doctor would remain unfazed when in the line of fire, ([[TV]]: ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack of the Cybermen]]'', ''[[The Mysterious Planet (TV story)|The Mysterious Planet]]'') or in the face of the unknown. ([[TV]]: ''[[Vengeance on Varos (TV story)|Vengeance on Varos]]'', ''[[The Ultimate Foe (TV story)|The Ultimate Foe]]'') Even when helpless or under threat, he would be unafraid to speak his mind. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma (TV story)|The Twin Dilemma]]'', ''[[The Mark of the Rani (TV story)|The Mark of the Rani]]'', ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'', ''[[Revelation of the Daleks (TV story)|Revelation of the Daleks]]'') However, once he had decided he was doomed, the Doctor would accept his demise with quite dignity. ([[TV]]: ''[[Vengeance on Varos (TV story)|Vengeance on Varos]]'', ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'', ''[[Timelash (TV story)|Timelash]]'') He was also unable to escape his own curiosity, refusing to leave a mystery until he had the answers. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Mysterious Planet (TV story)|The Mysterious Planet]]'')
 
<!--Examples following this point focus on the personality traits the Sixth Doctor exhibited in his earliest days-->
During his early days, the Sixth Doctor could be unpredictable, self-absorbed, argumentative and arrogant, believing himself greatly superior to anyone he encountered, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma (TV story)|The Twin Dilemma]]'') though was critical of himself when realising his mistakes, ([[TV]]: ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack of the Cybermen]]'', ''[[Revelation of the Daleks (TV story)|Revelation of the Daleks]]'') He enjoyed proving people wrong about what he said. ([[HOMEVID]]: ''[[A Fix with Sontarans (home video)|A Fix with Sontarans]]'') His adventurous side still remained, but the Sixth Doctor was more selfish about it, especially when it came to decision making, often deciding he knew what Peri wanted out of her travels and telling her where she wanted to go instead of asking her. ([[TV]]: ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack of the Cybermen]]'', ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'', ''[[Timelash (TV story)|Timelash]]'')
 
While he lost his compassion to post-regeneration trauma, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma (TV story)|The Twin Dilemma]]'') he learnt to care for others after realising his mistake in doubting [[Lytton]]'s motives. ([[TV]]: ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack of the Cybermen]]'') He could be especially blasé in the face of death, to the point that he would deliver quips to dead bodies, ([[TV]]: ''[[Vengeance on Varos (TV story)|Vengeance on Varos]]'', ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'') though he still felt regret when good people died. ([[TV]]: ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack of the Cybermen]]'', ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'', ''[[Revelation of the Daleks (TV story)|Revelation of the Daleks]]'') He employed a more direct approach to how he resolved a situation, ([[TV]]: ''[[Vengeance on Varos (TV story)|Vengeance on Varos]]'') and would make plans in preparation for his adventures instead of waiting for events to happen, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma (TV story)|The Twin Dilemma]]'') though he would improvise his way out of a situation if he had no choice. ([[HOMEVID]]: ''[[A Fix with Sontarans (home video)|A Fix with Sontarans]]'')
 
He worried he would be seen as frightening, and was willing to isolate himself if he thought he was a danger to others. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma (TV story)|The Twin Dilemma]]'') However, he would deliberately exaggerate his argumentative nature in order to fool people into leaving him be when he wanted to act alone, ([[TV]]: ''[[Timelash (TV story)|Timelash]]'') being especially blunt when dealing with people he wished to ignore. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma (TV story)|The Twin Dilemma]]'', ''[[Timelash (TV story)|Timelash]]'') Despite his hubris approach, the Doctor knew when to be serious, such as when he rushed to help [[Gustave Lytton]] after exiting his TARDIS in a comedic manner. ([[TV]]: ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack of the Cybermen]]'')


<!--Examples following this point focus on the character development the Sixth Doctor underwent during his travels with Peri and Frobisher-->
[[File:Doc comforts Peri.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor tries to comfort Peri. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Mysterious Planet (TV story)|The Mysterious Planet]]'')]]
When Peri was distressed over the idea that [[Ravolox]] was a devastated Earth, the Doctor tried to comfort her, even showing empathy for her plight, despite initially telling her not to get emotional. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Mysterious Planet (TV story)|The Mysterious Planet]]'') He was devastated when presented with the news of Peri's demise on [[Thoros Beta]], and was enraged that the Time Lords had engineered her execution, threatening he had every intention of discovering what they were up to. ([[TV]]: ''[[Mindwarp (TV story)|Mindwarp]]'') When he discovered the Time Lords had relocated Earth and renamed it Ravolox to keep the secrets of [[the Matrix]] from being exposed, the Doctor announced his purpose was to stop evil and power mad conspirators. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Ultimate Foe (TV story)|The Ultimate Foe]]'')
<!--Examples following this point focus on the character development the Sixth Doctor exhibited after his trial-->
After the events of his trial, the Doctor became more aggressive and irascible ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Time of Your Life (novel)|Time of Your Life]]'') to cover up a depression that was so deep and consuming that he even contemplated [[suicide]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Killing Ground (novel)|Killing Ground]]'') He showed a lack of faith, and even a dislike, for his companion, [[Grant Markham]], as a means of changing his future, demonstrating his lack of consideration for his companion, and even self-absorption for his own problems. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Time of Your Life (novel)|Time of Your Life]]'') However, his opinion of Grant changed after Grant proved that he wasn't as unlikeable as he initially believed. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Killing Ground (novel)|Killing Ground]]'')
After he was used by the [[Myriad (The Lure of the Nomad)|Myriad]] [[Mathew Sharpe]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Lure of the Nomad (audio story)|The Lure of the Nomad]]'') the Doctor began questioning his desire to help others, growing emotionally exhorted enough to try and become a background presence while he dealt with the lingering betrayal he felt from his trial until an adventure with the {{Manning}} got him out of his funk, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Wormery (audio story)|The Wormery]]'') leading him to start acting calmer and more adjusted, though still haunted by his guilt for "[having] led friends to their deaths and caused numerous wars" while also influencing "peaceful people [into] taking up arms, and good people [into] having their faith or reason destroyed." ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Marian Conspiracy (audio story)|The Marian Conspiracy]]'')
The Doctor continued to mature in the company of [[Evelyn Smythe]], to the point that [[Melanie Bush]] called her "the woman who tamed the Doctor". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Thicker Than Water (audio story)|Thicker Than Water]]'') While he could still be irritated by bureaucracy, the Doctor became more willing to apologies for his outbursts, and make others feel included in his victories, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Spectre of Lanyon Moor (audio story)|The Spectre of Lanyon Moor]]'') though he would give them the option to retreat if his objective was sufficiently dangerous. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Apocalypse Element (audio story)|The Apocalypse Element]]'') He even came to see how his flippant attitude towards death was alienating from how Evelyn reacted to him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Arrangements for War (audio story)|Arrangements for War]]'', ''[[Medicinal Purposes (audio story)|Medicinal Purposes]]'') Upon meeting an [[iteration]] of himself from just after his trial following his travels with Evelyn, the Doctor reflected how his [[demeanour]] had changed, noting how "obstreperous" he used to be. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Wrong Doctors (audio story)|The Wrong Doctors]]'')
While travelling with [[Frobisher]] again, the Doctor became friendlier and more playful, even sharing jokes with Frobisher during serious situations. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Holy Terror (audio story)|The Holy Terror]]'')
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's likes, dislikes and beliefs-->
A prospector of knowledge, ([[TV]]: ''[[Terror of the Vervoids (TV story)|Terror of the Vervoids]]'') the Sixth Doctor held an interest in "everything", and considered "the province of knowledge to speak, and the privilege of wisdom to listen." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'') He did not, however, believe in [[luggage]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Death of Me (short story)|The Death of Me]]'') [[ghost]]s, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Macros (audio story)|The Macros]]'') or [[fate]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Urgent Calls (audio story)|Urgent Calls]]'')
The Doctor liked [[Pink Floyd]]'s ''Piper at the Gates of Dawn'', ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Business Unusual (novel)|Business Unusual]]'') ''[[Creature from the Black Lagoon]]'', ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Pier Pressure (audio story)|Pier Pressure]]'') and [[dinosaur]]s. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Excelis Rising (audio story)|Excelis Rising]]'') Among his favourite words were "serendipity" and "fortuitous", ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Hollows of Time (audio story)|The Hollows of Time]]'') and Late-Victorian Britain was one of his favourite times and places. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Wish You Were Here (ST short story)|Wish You Were Here]]'') He also enjoyed how humanity was "seldom predictable". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Ultimate Adventure (audio story)|The Ultimate Adventure]]'')
[[Mel Bush]] remembered the Sixth Doctor having a fondness for [[cat]]s, ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'') with the Doctor himself agreeing with [[Charley Pollard]] when she noted that he "had a way with cats", stating that "cats had a way with [him]". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Condemned (audio story)|The Condemned]]'') He adorned his attire with cats, such as wearing a [[cat brooch]] on his left lapel, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma (TV story)|The Twin Dilemma]]'') cat [[cufflink]]s, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Trouble in Paradise (audio story)|Trouble in Paradise]]'') and a tie printed with little cats on it, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Blue Box (novel)|Blue Box]]'') while also carrying a cat themed face mask on his person. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Mysterious Planet (TV story)|The Mysterious Planet]]'')  He even owned a pair of silvery silk pyjamas covered in pictures of different species of cat, all of them wearing his patchwork coat, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Instruments of Darkness (novel)|Instruments of Darkness]]'') and used cat photos to send encoded messages. ([[WC]]: ''[[Doctors Assemble! (webcast)|Doctors Assemble!]]'')
He also enjoyed [[hazelnut]]s, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Condemned (audio story)|The Condemned]]'') and crispy Peking duck with [[prawn cracker]]s. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Project Twilight (audio story)|Project: Twilight]]'') His favourite sandwich flavour was [[peanut butter]], [[lettuce]] and potato chip. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Timeshare (VD short story)|Timeshare]]'') He took four [[sugar]]s in his [[tea]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Project Lazarus (audio story)|Project: Lazarus]]'') and "just a dash of [[milk]]" in his [[coffee]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Reaping (audio story)|The Reaping]]'')
[[File:CarrotJuice.jpg|thumb|The Doctor was known to dislike [[carrot juice]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Terror of the Vervoids (TV story)|Terror of the Vervoids]]'')]]
He disliked [[carrot juice]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Terror of the Vervoids (TV story)|Terror of the Vervoids]]'') and [[hotel]]s. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The One Doctor (audio story)|The One Doctor]]'')
While he believed that the "purpose of life [was] too big to be knowable", the Doctor felt that "everything in life [had a] purpose" and that "every creature [played] its part". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Mysterious Planet (TV story)|The Mysterious Planet]]'') Indeed, he always willing to lend a helping hand wherever he could ([[TV]]: ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack of the Cybermen]]'') and see that justice triumphed over the guilty. ([[TV]]: ''[[Mindwarp (TV story)|Mindwarp]]'') However, he looked down on [[robot]]s, confessing to [[Drathro]] that he saw them as lower than organic life. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Mysterious Planet (TV story)|The Mysterious Planet]]'')
He preferred to deal with "one problem at a time", ([[HOMEVID]]: ''[[A Fix with Sontarans (home video)|A Fix with Sontarans]]'') would try to respect the customs of the locals at the places he visited, ([[TV]]: ''[[Revelation of the Daleks (TV story)|Revelation of the Daleks]]'') and considered his inability to tell his destination to be "half the fun" of travelling. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Ultimate Adventure (audio story)|The Ultimate Adventure]]'') When he blew out the candles on his 900th birthday cake, his wishes were to "have better control of the TARDIS", "peace throughout the galaxy" and "more manageable hair". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The One Doctor (audio story)|The One Doctor]]'')
Seeing [[Earth]] as an "irritating planet" chiefly filled with people characterised as poor thinkers, ([[TV]]: ''[[Timelash (TV story)|Timelash]]'') the Sixth Doctor saw humans as having "small" brains, though believed that they could "be quite effective when used properly." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'') He could be particularly dismisses of females. ([[HOMEVID]]: ''[[A Fix with Sontarans (home video)|A Fix with Sontarans]]'')
<!--Examples following this point focus on the Doctor's attitude towards time travel and the Web of Time-->
While he could be flippant with his travels, the Doctor was aware of the need to be careful around certain points in time. ([[TV]]: ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack of the Cybermen]]'') He would "show little mercy to time meddlers." ([[TV]]: ''[[Timelash (TV story)|Timelash]]'')
<!--Examples following this point focus on the Sixth Doctor's attitude towards violence and death-->
It was during his sixth incarnation that the Doctor began to see the logic in murder, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Alien Bodies (novel)|Alien Bodies]]'') making him more willing to resort to a "modicum of force", ([[TV]]: ''[[The Mysterious Planet (TV story)|The Mysterious Planet]]'') despite his belief that he had "an inbuilt resistance to any form of violence, except in self-defence." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma (TV story)|The Twin Dilemma]]'') He gunned down his foes with little hesitation, ([[TV]]: ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack of the Cybermen]]'', ''[[Timelash (TV story)|Timelash]]'', ''[[Revelation of the Daleks (TV story)|Revelation of the Daleks]]'', ''[[Untitled (1986 TV story)|Untitled]]'') and was unafraid to take a life when he felt sufficiently threatened, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'') knowing that there were times when one had no choice but to kill to survive. ([[TV]]: ''[[Revelation of the Daleks (TV story)|Revelation of the Daleks]]'') However, the Sixth Doctor also had a more emotional and caring side, determined to not let people die "if there [was] a chance of saving them", ([[TV]]: ''[[The Mysterious Planet (TV story)|The Mysterious Planet]]'') though he was still willing to allow a few deaths if it would protect the majority from harm. ([[WC]]: ''[[Real Time (webcast)|Real Time]]'')
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's miscellaneous traits-->
Despite his high spirits, the Sixth Doctor did possess a melancholy side to him, believing that the universe would have gone on if he had stayed on Gallifrey, though admitted it would be in a different shape, and once desired only to fish instead of involve himself in another crisis. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Time & Time Again (comic story)|Time & Time Again]]'') He claimed he would begin a "[[vegetarian]] diet" after almost transforming into an [[Androgum]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'') but this claim was dubious. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Instruments of Darkness (novel)|Instruments of Darkness]]'', ''[[The Man Who Wouldn't Give Up (short story)|The Man Who Wouldn't Give Up]]'') When reading a [[newspaper]], the Doctor would focus on the cartoons and crosswords. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Excelis Rising (audio story)|Excelis Rising]]'')
He also seemed unable to see his own faults, but would hypocritically criticise those that showed them, particularly [[the Valeyard]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Ultimate Foe (TV story)|The Ultimate Foe]]'') He accused Peri of being an "egotistical young lady", ([[TV]]: ''[[The Caves of Androzani (TV story)|The Caves of Androzani]]'') and of being overweight. ([[TV]]: ''[[Revelation of the Daleks (TV story)|Revelation of the Daleks]]'') He also rebuked [[Balazar]] for boasting about his knowledge. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Mysterious Planet (TV story)|The Mysterious Planet]]'') He did, however, admit he had misjudged [[Lytton]] following his death and their defeat of the [[Cybermen]], feeling bad even after he had kept [[Earth]] safe and the timeline intact. ([[TV]]: ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack of the Cybermen]]'')
<!--Examples following this point focus on how this particular incarnation of the Doctor described themselves-->
The Sixth Doctor thought of himself as being "a man of science, temperament and passion", and also agreed with Peri on him having "a very loud voice", ([[TV]]: ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack of the Cybermen]]'') though thought the idea of him being "eccentric" was "preposterous". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Mark of the Rani (TV story)|The Mark of the Rani]]'') He described himself as "pragmatic", and considered compassion and a "capacity for self-sacrifice" as "some of [his] defining traits". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Sirens of Time (audio story)|The Sirens of Time]]'') He also believed himself to be blessed with both "tact and finesse", ([[TV]]: ''[[Terror of the Vervoids (TV story)|Terror of the Vervoids]]'') and believed he could subdue opponents with his charm. ([[TV]]: ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack of the Cybermen]]'') He also considered himself to be [[courage]]ous, [[intellectual]], and of "incredible [[perspicacity]]." ([[HOMEVID]]: ''[[A Fix with Sontarans (home video)|A Fix with Sontarans]]'')
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's opinion of his other selves, and how the other Doctors felt about this particular incarnation, both in chronological order-->
The Sixth Doctor considered his five predecessors to have been "good men". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Man Who Wouldn't Give Up (short story)|The Man Who Wouldn't Give Up]]'') Although he would dismiss his [[third incarnation]] as "more interested in axle grease and looking in the mirror" than in reading, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Year of the Pig (audio story)|Year of the Pig]]'') and as having had a "strange taste in clothes", he was willing to acknowledge his superior skill in swordplay when the situation called for it. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[State of Change (novel)|State of Change]]'')
Immediately after his regeneration, the Doctor saw his new body as an improvement and felt that the [[Fifth Doctor]] had had "a sort of feckless charm that was never really [him]", ([[TV]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma (TV story)|The Twin Dilemma]]'') but later admitted to [[Evelyn Smythe]] that "being him was like a holiday." ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The 100 Days of the Doctor (audio story)|The 100 Days of the Doctor]]'')
The Sixth Doctor held an admiration for the [[Seventh Doctor]]'s confidence and forward planning, and his preparedness to do things he himself "would never do", but disliked his reputation as a planet destroyer, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The 100 Days of the Doctor (audio story)|The 100 Days of the Doctor]]'') and thought him "selfish" for hunting big game with "live bait", ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Time & Time Again (comic story)|Time & Time Again]]'') but still thought him to be a "charming fellow". ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Light at the End (audio story)|The Light at the End]]'') He also noted that he and the [[Eighth Doctor]] made a good team when dealing with the crisis caused by the Valeyard's machinations on Gallifrey. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Eight Doctors (novel)|The Eight Doctors]]'') He was critical of his [[thirteenth incarnation]] due to her vocabulary. ([[WC]]: ''[[Doctors Assemble! (webcast)|Doctors Assemble!]]'')
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's feelings and opinions on his companions and other friends and allies-->
The Sixth Doctor did not suffer fools gladly, and sometimes seemed to endure the presence of others more than he enjoyed it. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma (TV story)|The Twin Dilemma]]'', ''[[Timelash (TV story)|Timelash]]'') However, he enjoyed the company of his companions, saying that Peri was important to him, and assuring her he wouldn't abandon her, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Mark of the Rani (TV story)|The Mark of the Rani]]'') confessed how he loved [[Evelyn Smythe]] as a friend, ([[WC]]: ''[[Real Time (webcast)|Real Time]]'') and refused to leave [[Constance Clarke]] when she begged him to save himself. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The End of the Line (audio story)|The End of the Line]]'')
Though he was bitter for a while, the Doctor ultimately did not hold a grudge against Peri for her unintentional part in his predecessor's regeneration, telling her that he accepted the choice that the Fifth Doctor made and that "a universe with [her] brightness in it [was] infinitely preferable to a universe without". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Burning Heart (novel)|Burning Heart]]'') He became grief-stricken when presented with evidence of Peri's untimely death, ([[TV]]: ''[[Mindwarp (TV story)|Mindwarp]]'') describing his pain as "like dying [him]self," ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Her Final Flight (audio story)|Her Final Flight]]'') and was most pleased when he discovered the evidence had been tampered with, and that Peri was still alive. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Ultimate Foe (TV story)|The Ultimate Foe]]'')
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's opinions and relationships with children and youngsters-->
The Doctor had a soft spot for children, and once entertained local schoolchildren with various card tricks. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Grave Matter (novel)|Grave Matter]]'')
<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's opinion of the Daleks and other enemies-->
The Doctor was resentful towards the [[High Council]] of the [[Time Lord]]s for how they would manipulate him and his travels, ([[TV]]: ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack of the Cybermen]]'', ''[[Mindwarp (TV story)|Mindwarp]]'') but he did not believe them capable of violent actions against innocent beings, despite being concerned he was wrong in his assumption. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'') However, once he was informed that they were responsible for the relocation and ravaging of the Earth to keep the secrets of [[the Matrix]] being exposed, and had placed him on trial to discredit him and remove him as a witness, the Doctor denounced the Time Lords as a "sanctimonious gang of hypocrites" that were "decadent, degenerate and rotten to the core", with all the other "power-mad conspirators" in the universe "still [being] in the [[nursery]] compared to [them]". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Ultimate Foe (TV story)|The Ultimate Foe]]'')
He considered the [[Dalek]]s, [[Cybermen]] and [[Sontaran]]s to be "the most evil force[s] in the galaxy". ([[HOMEVID]]: ''[[A Fix with Sontarans (home video)|A Fix with Sontarans]]'')
<!--Examples following this point focus on how others described this particular incarnation of the Doctor-->
While he was suffering from post-regeneration trauma, [[Peri Brown]] called the Sixth Doctor a "manic depressive paranoid personality", while [[Mestor]] described him as "egocentric, wilful and quite mad". ([[TV]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma (TV story)|The Twin Dilemma]]'') On [[Thoros Beta]], King [[Yrcanos]] noted that the Doctor thought like a warrior but did not act like one. ([[TV]]: ''[[Mindwarp (TV story)|Mindwarp]]'') When reflecting on his blue coat, Mel used "understated", "sombre", and "boring" as words not often associated with the Sixth Doctor. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Wrong Doctors (audio story)|The Wrong Doctors]]'') [[River Song]] described the Sixth Doctor as like "a clown put through a woodchipper".

<!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's attitude towards regeneration-->
Upon learning that the Valeyard had infected his mind with the [[Nathemus]] to overwrite the Time Lords and trap them as formless beings in the Matrix, the Doctor willingly sacrificed his life to wipe out the Nathemus from his head, having no qualms about it if it meant stopping the Valeyard, openly taunting him as he began fading from existence. Admitting he had "lived a good life by and large", the Doctor toasted the companions he had travelled with, while the Valeyard tried to tempt him not to die by pointing out he would be throwing away his "precious moral scruples", but the Doctor decided these traits would die with him. Feeling his past self regenerating as timelines began to change, the last echo of the Sixth Doctor faded away in blissful peace, allowing himself to become reborn as the [[Seventh Doctor]]. Meanwhile, his younger self, though distressed by the sudden attack of fatal radiation from [[Lakertya]], found peace in having lived with "a good innings", hoping the "footprint he [left]" would be "light, but apposite". However, when the manifestation of his next incarnation began talking, the Doctor reacted with confusion, unsure of who was there as he faded away. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Brink of Death (audio story)|The Brink of Death]]'')
According to another account, after sacrificing much of his chronal energy to trap the Lamprey inside the [[Spiral Chamber]], the Doctor, heavily weakened, tried to brush off Mel's concern by feinting prideful gravitas, but soon revealed to her that he was resigned to his fate, believing that his sacrifice was worth it to save the multiverse. As he took one last look at the universe, Mel protested that it was unfair for the Doctor to die, but he testified that his sacrifice was his time to donate and his chance to give to the universe. Satisfied with the life he led, the Sixth Doctor told Mel not to feel cheated by his untimely demise. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Spiral Scratch (novel)|Spiral Scratch]]'')

Something of a foodie, the Doctor was known to fill himself up on food, such as sneaking a bite from Peri's apple, ([[TV]]: ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack of the Cybermen]]'') and eating two biscuits meant for him and the Brigadier, and then "coyly eyeing [a] half-eaten custard cream".

Trying to take [[Jamie McCrimmon (Land of Fiction)|Jamie]] to the ''Queen Elizabeth II'', the Doctor donned a white tuxedo with a black bow tie. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Wreck of the Titan (audio story)|The Wreck of the Titan]]'')
In place of his frock coats, the Doctor also owned a blue long-tailed jacket, with matching blue striped trousers. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Paper Cuts (audio story)|Paper Cuts]]'')
While undercover in [[Bletchley Park]] in [[1944]] after the TARDIS was rendered inoperative by a strange signal, the Doctor adopted a more subdued clothing of a brown and crimson tweed suit and waistcoat with a blue-and-white pinstripe shirt, along with a navy blue bow tie with scarlet spots. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Criss-Cross (audio story)|Criss-Cross]]'') The Doctor donned his "Bletchley Tweeds" again when visiting Russia in [[1947]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Quicksilver (audio story)|Quicksilver]]'')
== Behind the scenes ==
=== Casting ===
In 1983, [[Sylvester McCoy]] put his name forward in consideration for the Sixth Doctor.<ref>http://www.shannonsullivan.com/doctorwho/serials/7d.html</ref>. He would later be cast as the [[Seventh Doctor]] and briefly played the Sixth Doctor in a regeneration sequence.
=== Regeneration ===
==== Circumstances ====
[[File:Sylvester as Colin.jpg|thumb|left|The Sixth Doctor was played by Sylvester McCoy in a blonde wig briefly for ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]''.]]
[[Colin Baker]] declined an invitation to film the regeneration sequence at the start of ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'' due to the circumstances of his dismissal from the role. Wishing to play the Doctor for the whole of [[Season 24]], he was instead offered one last full story to reappear and regenerate. Baker declined, reasoning that he did not want to make the audience think he was still the ''de facto'' Doctor for a sliver of 1987 when he had been removed from the series. His successor, [[Sylvester McCoy]], donned a blonde wig and briefly appeared on screen as the unconscious sixth Doctor. McCoy's face was obscured from camera view, first by the TARDIS console and then by the regeneration FX, before the final reveal of the Seventh Doctor. McCoy thus became the first actor to play more than one incarnation of the Doctor. [[Paul McGann]] would later play both the [[Eighth Doctor]] and the [[War Doctor]] in the final moments of ''[[The Night of the Doctor (TV story)|The Night of the Doctor]]'' (again with his face obscured by the camera placement).<ref>[http://twitter.com/ohmissjones/status/447565901265924096]</ref> Also, [[Tom Baker]] has played both the [[Fourth Doctor]] and [[The Curator (The Day of the Doctor)|The Curator]], though it is not completely confirmed that the Curator is, in fact, a future regeneration of the Doctor.
Following this, Colin Baker did not personally enjoy an official regeneration story until 2015, when he was approached to perform one in audio format, ''[[The Sixth Doctor: The Last Adventure]]''. It provides an anthology of four stories spread out across various points in his Doctor's lifetime that are far distanced from each other in the grand scheme of the Sixth Doctor's life, but all play a part in ultimately setting the stage for his Doctor's sendoff, as a complex scheme by [[The Valeyard]] to take the Doctor's place via resources acquired across the universe forces the Sixth Doctor to trigger his own regeneration to prevent the Valeyard subverting his timeline. It also made Colin Baker, along with Paul McGann, one of two actors who played the Doctor to receive belated regeneration stories, and including [[John Hurt]] in that lineup as the War Doctor, whose introduction and regeneration were both deliberately done in a retroactive manner, one of three actors which portrayed the Doctor whose regeneration took place anachronistically.
==== The "bang on the head" myth ====
Due to lack of any information as to what caused the Sixth Doctor to regenerate, viewers were left to draw their own conclusions. At some point, it became the subject of ridicule that the Doctor had regenerated because he hit his head in some manner, an idea which some writers ran with, while others teased it. Some fans even joked it was because he fell off the exercise bike Mel had been forcing him to use since ''[[Terror of the Vervoids (TV story)|Terror of the Vervoids]]''- the very subject was brought before Colin Baker himself, as evidenced by a YouTube video entitled "Colin Baker Reacts to his Regeneration (50th Anniversary Convention)" by MrTARDISreviews, which shows Baker found it disappointing.
''[[Spiral Scratch (novel)|Spiral Scratch]]'' by [[Gary Russell]] gives a "revisionist" account of the circumstances behind the Doctor's regeneration, explaining that it had not happened simply because he had hit his head, but was drained of the time-based life force that sustained him. ''[[Love and War (novel)|Love and War]]'' by [[Paul Cornell]] offered a different explanation, indicating the Seventh Doctor had willed himself into existence by influencing the Sixth Doctor's demise.
''[[The Brink of Death (audio story)|The Brink of Death]]'' by [[Nicholas Briggs]], a radiation lethal to Time Lords is the reason behind the Sixth Doctor's end. However, it did not appear to factor in the infamous "bang on the head" as an event coinciding with the Doctor's regeneration in any explicit way due to the fact it is not mentioned through dialogue nor possible to tell if the Doctor hit his head because there is no visual indicator of such a thing happening in the story. However, the Doctor is heard screaming in agony after being buffeted from a strong burst of radiation while a violent crashing sound is audible, proving he suffered some kind of physical trauma. Furthermore, though the Doctor soon afterwards collapses to the floor, there is no evidence of him hitting his head on the way down. It also seems to pull elements from ''Spiral Scratch'' and ''Love and War'' in terms of spoken dialogue and plot, as well as a charity publication by the late [[Craig Hinton]] and associates, ''Time's Champion''.
If anything, the Doctor is either recalling his regeneration inaccurately or generalising it. The former is possible because not only does the stressful process of regeneration often hamper the Doctor's mind and ability to remember things correctly, the Seventh Doctor was subjected to a heavy dose of an amnesia-inducing drug by the Rani not long after regenerating that may have jumbled some of his memories in a lasting manner even after it was out of his system. Moreover, Mel did not witness him regenerate or learn why exactly he did so, robbing both of them of credible accounts of the regeneration. In addition, the latter becomes a possibility as the Doctor is known to lie, make light of events in a dismissive and/or joking manner and even make up things as he goes along as the [[Tenth Doctor]] later admitted in ''[[The Age of Steel (TV story)|The Age of Steel]]'', which further blurs the lines regarding the alleged and contested hit to his head.
=== Other matters ===
* According to an interview with [[Colin Baker]] in [[DWM 118|''DWM'' 118]], the Doctor's coat was created because [[John Nathan-Turner]] had the idea that it should be in "very bad taste" to show the Doctor's alien nature. Baker himself had wanted to wear black to display the Doctor's darker side.
** More recently, Colin Baker has expanded upon this, stating that what he wanted to wear was pretty much what would become the costume for [[Christopher Eccleston]]'s [[Ninth Doctor]]. ([[DOC]]: ''[[The Ultimate Guide (2013 documentary)|Doctor Who: The Ultimate Guide]]'')
* In [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Curse of Davros (audio story)|The Curse of Davros]]'', the Sixth Doctor was played by [[Terry Molloy]] as the Doctor switched bodies with [[Davros]] in an attempt to reform the [[Dalek]]s. A similar event occurred in [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Widow's Assassin (audio story)|The Widow's Assassin]]'', when the Doctor is portrayed for a time by [[Nicola Bryant]], as the Doctor briefly transfers himself into the body of his companion [[Peri Brown]] to help her expel a neural parasite, correctly assuming that he will be better equipped to suppress the parasite than Peri.
* Colin Baker related the character of the Doctor to a quote from Rudyard Kipling "I am the Cat who walks by himself, and all places are alike to me". This made him decide to wear a different cat badge on his costume in each story arc. He subsequently received a lot more cat badges from fans in the mail. When he played the Doctor on stage in 1989 these gifts gave him the opportunity to wear a different badge in every single performance.
* The prose version of the character is one of few incarnations besides the [[Eighth Doctor|Eighth]] who has technically crossed with the mythology of ''[[Faction Paradox (series)|Faction Paradox]]'' and the [[War in Heaven]]. These instances are:
** ''[[The Quantum Archangel (novel)|The Quantum Archangel]]'', where [[Faction Paradox]] is mentioned and the Doctor experiences a timeline similar to the War. [[Craig Hinton]]'s original notes for the novel, eventually published in the charity publication ''Shelf Life'', asserted the War was negatively affecting the [[Six-Fold-Realm|Six-Fold Realm]] of the [[Guardians of Time|Guardians]]. Hinton and Chris McKeon's ''[[Time's Champion (novel)|Time's Champion]]'' utilised those notes and asserted the Sixth Doctor's regeneration, as well as the Seventh Doctor's role as [[Time's Champion]], was due to the coming War.
** [[Lawrence Burton]]'s ''The Time Wrestlers'', published in Obverse Books' ''A Target for Tommy'', where the Doctor, Peri and Señor 105 face War-time agents of the Great Houses. This story loosely connects to Burton's novel ''[[Against Nature (novel)|Against Nature]]''. The biodata virus from ''[[Interference - Book Two (novel)|Interference - Book Two]]'' is mentioned.
