The Seventh Doctor spoke with a Scottish accent, ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'') which [[Bernice Summerfield]] noted was of the [[Highlands]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Big Bang Generation (novel)|Big Bang Generation]]'') However, when necessary, the Doctor adopted other accents too. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Highest Science (novel)|The Highest Science]]'', ''[[No Future (novel)|No Future]]'', ''[[Bad Therapy (novel)|Bad Therapy]]'', ''[[The Room With No Doors (novel)|The Room With No Doors]]'') When talking about [[Dalek]]s, his voice would develop a harder edge to it.

He occasionally displayed a tendency to mangle and combine Earth idioms, creating {{w|Dundrearyism}}s. ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'', ''[[Delta and the Bannermen (TV story)|Delta and the Bannermen]]'') After Mel described the habit as "really annoying", the Doctor promised that he would try to stop doing it, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Bang-Bang-a-Boom! (audio story)|Bang-Bang-a-Boom!]]'') though would later slip up on his promise long after she had left the TARDIS. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[White Darkness (novel)|White Darkness]]'', ''[[No Future (novel)|No Future]]'', ''[[Sanctuary (novel)|Sanctuary]]'', ''[[The Also People (novel)|The Also People]]'') | |||

He sometimes described a situation as "splendid", ([[TV]]: ''[[Delta and the Bannermen (TV story)|Delta and the Bannermen]]'', ''[[The Happiness Patrol (TV story)|The Happiness Patrol]]'', ''[[The Curse of Fenric (TV story)|The Curse of Fenric]]'') and would say that "monsters" feared him in their "nightmares". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Love and War (novel)|Love and War]]'', ''[[Blood Heat (novel)|Blood Heat]]'', ''[[Continuity Errors (short story)|Continuity Errors]]'', ''[[Return of the Living Dad (novel)|Return of the Living Dad]]''; [[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Shadow of the Scourge (audio story)|The Shadow of the Scourge]]'') | |||
The Doctor was fond of using the term "grubby" when explaining his mission to keep an artefact away from his adversaries, such as when keeping the [[Hand of Omega]] out of the Daleks' "grubby little protuberances", ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'') when he sent [[The Doctor's TARDIS (Blood Heat)|the TARDIS]] away to keep the [[Robot Ant]]s from getting their "grubby little mandibles" on it, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Set Piece (novel)|Set Piece]]'') and when preventing the fake skull of [[Jesus Christ]] from falling into [[Louis de Citeaux]] and [[Francisco Guzman]]'s "grubby little protuberances".

While he would mostly raise his [[hat]] as a friendly greeting and a farewell, the Doctor would also raise his hat in mockery as he escaped a defeated adversary or when his enemies retreated. ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'', ''[[Paradise Towers (TV story)|Paradise Towers]]'', ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'', ''[[The Happiness Patrol (TV story)|The Happiness Patrol]]'') | |||

When in thought, he would rub his fingers with his thumb, ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'', ''[[Paradise Towers (TV story)|Paradise Towers]]'', ''[[Silver Nemesis (TV story)|Silver Nemesis]]'', ''[[The Greatest Show in the Galaxy (TV story)|The Greatest Show in the Galaxy]]'', ''[[Ghost Light (TV story)|Ghost Light]]'', ''[[The Curse of Fenric (TV story)|The Curse of Fenric]]'', ''[[Survival (TV story)|Survival]]'') tug at his ear, ([[TV]]: ''[[Dragonfire (TV story)|Dragonfire]]'', ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'', ''[[The Greatest Show in the Galaxy (TV story)|The Greatest Show in the Galaxy]]'', ''[[Ghost Light (TV story)|Ghost Light]]'') scratch at his mouth, ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'', ''[[Paradise Towers (TV story)|Paradise Towers]]'', ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'', ''[[The Happiness Patrol (TV story)|The Happiness Patrol]]'', ''[[The Greatest Show in the Galaxy (TV story)|The Greatest Show in the Galaxy]]'', ''[[Battlefield (TV story)|Battlefield]]'', ''[[Survival (TV story)|Survival]]'') or use his umbrella to play with his lips.

The Seventh Doctor made a habit of randomly reading books with "Doctor" in the title, ([[TV]]: ''[[Dragonfire (TV story)|Dragonfire]]'', ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'') and would sometimes backflip his hat onto his head. ([[TV]]: ''[[Paradise Towers (TV story)|Paradise Towers]]'', ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'', ''[[Ghost Light (TV story)|Ghost Light]]'', ''[[Survival (TV story)|Survival]]'') | |||
When his companions acted in a way that was detrimental to his plans by reacting prematurely, the Doctor would warn them not to act with a stern, ''"Not now"''.{{source}} | |||
