| The third of the "skinny man" iterations, the '''Fourteenth Doctor''' embraced the second chance he had in regenerating back into the body of his [[Tenth Doctor|tenth incarnation]], as he sought to respond to all the calls of adventure.
| | Sentimental and compassionate, but with a cynical and self-reflective edge, the '''Fourteenth Doctor''' embraced the second chance he had in regenerating back into the body of his [[Tenth Doctor|tenth incarnation]], as he sought to respond to all the calls of adventure. He raced from one adventure to the next as he fought against the idea that he was "running on fumes" and emotionally exhausted, going a full fifteen hours without stopping to rest, too distracted by the mystery as to why he had regenerated back into a familiar body. |

| | After a battle against [[psychoplasm]] [[Dalek-scape|Dalek constructs]] in the [[Dalek Dome]] and stop on [[Skaro]] during the [[genesis of the Daleks]], the Doctor found himself reunited with his old [[companion]] [[Donna Noble]] on the same night [[the Meep]] tried to initiate the [[destruction of London]], with only the release of the [[DoctorDonna]] managing to save the day, but Donna was saved from having her mind overload when it was revealed that her daughter, [[Rose Noble|Rose]], had inherited the [[Human-Time Lord Meta-Crisis]] and she and Donna were able to [[Letting go|release]] the Meta-Crisis. When a visit to Wilf got sidetracked by a conflict with the [[not-thing]]s at the [[edge of the universe]], the Doctor was forced to confront his emotional exhaustion, but chose to continue ignoring his pain, especially regarding [[the Flux]]. |
| | |
| | However, the return of [[the Toymaker]] brought his traumas to the forefront, and he ended up shooting the Doctor with a [[Galvanic beam]] that triggered a [[bi-generation]] that created the [[Fifteenth Doctor]], who teamed up with his fourteenth incarnation to banish the Toymaker. Spurred on by Donna and his fifteenth incarnation, the Doctor decided to settle down on Earth with the [[Noble family]] to do "rehab out of order" and allow himself to heal to ensure his next incarnation would have his carefree attitude. |

| Seeing that the noise was [[Automated Protocol Epsilon Delta Rho|a distress signal]], the Doctor followed it to what seemed to be [[Wembley Stadium]] during the [[1966 World Cup Final]], where he found what he thought were [[time tourist]]s watching the historical [[football]] tournament, using [[psychic shield]]s to cover the fact they were a family of purple aliens.

With both wanting answers, the Doctor let himself be taken aboard the Dalek saucer, where he bargained for the invasion to be stopped in return for providing an explanation to the Supreme Dalek after scanning himself with the sonic screwdriver, which the Supreme Dalek agreed to.

| | Returning to UNIT HQ after they destroyed KOSAT 5, the Doctor tried to prepare them for the Toymaker's arrival, only for him to appear and overpower UNIT while dancing to "[[Spice Up Your Life]]", distracting them long enough to commandeer the Galvanic beam. The Doctor tried to talk the Toymaker into leaving Earth with him so that they could play games throughout the cosmos, but the Toymaker refused, instead shooting the Doctor with the Galvanic beam so he could play the third game with a third incarnation of the Doctor. As [[regeneration energy]] began to emit from him, the Doctor was comforted by Donna and Mel and prepared himself for the [[change of appearance]], only for the regeneration energy to dissipate without him changing. Noting that it "[felt] different this time", the Doctor had Donna and Mel pull him apart as he began to bi-generate in a previously unseen act of [[bi-generation]], with the [[Fifteenth Doctor]] splitting out of him. |

| == Psychological profile ==
| | The Doctors then challenged the Toymaker to [[Game between the Toymaker and the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Doctors|a game]] of [[Catch (game)|catch]], reasoning that they could both play him due to still being the same person. After an intense game, the Fifteenth Doctor was able to make a winning throw, and the Fourteenth Doctor named banishing the Toymaker from existence as his prize. While everyone celebrated, the Fourteenth Doctor chose to lament the lives lost in the chaos of the Giggle, to which the Fifteenth Doctor comforted him over. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}}) |
| === Personality ===
| |
| [[File:Fourteen What Power.jpg|thumb|The Doctor is confused by his familiar body. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Power of the Doctor (TV story)}})]] | |
| While he was initially surprised to have the same appearance as the [[Tenth Doctor]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Power of the Doctor (TV story)}}) the Fourteenth Doctor quickly adapted to having his old body, immediately looking to "respond to calls" of adventure. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)}}) He opened his arms up to friendships of all sorts, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Destination: Skaro (TV story)}}) offering a greeting as a show of friendliness, ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)}}) as he moved to help all those he found in trouble ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Under Control (short story)}}) or dealing with a difficult task. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Star Beast (TV story)}}) While he tried to reason towards the good in the universe, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)}}) hoping to give everyone the chance to make their case, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Star Beast (TV story)}}) the Doctor was openly cynical, and prone to introspection and self-doubt. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}})
| |
|
| |
|
| In contrast to his preceding incarnations, the Fourteenth Doctor was more open about his feelings and vulnerabilities, even being shocked at himself when he casually told [[Shirley Bingham]] how he had loved his friend [[Donna Noble]], and later confident in Donna how much it had hurt him to wipe her memory. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Star Beast (TV story)}}) He was also more willing to show more intimate signs of affection to his friends, such as gently [[kiss]]ing Donna on the hand, and later on the top of her head, to comfort her when she was afraid. He was similarly quicker to express annoyance, such as when he engaged in argument when Donna snapped at him over the situation in the ship at the edge of creation, and more able to admit when he was troubled, though still reluctant to actually talk his issues out. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)}}) He was also more open to taking on the ideas and suggestions of others than his tenth incarnation, such as quickly adapting to [[gender pronoun]]s regarding [[the Meep]] when [[Rose Noble]] pointed out he was assuming the Meep was male presenting. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Star Beast (TV story)}})
| | === Settling down === |
| | While showing the Fifteenth Doctor around the TARDIS control room, the Fourteenth Doctor began to wonder how life will work with the two of them simultaneously existing, but the Fifteenth Doctor to start telling him he needed to take a break after lifetimes of hardship to ensure his fifteenth incarnation would have his carefree attitude, saying that they were "doing rehab out of order", ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}}) as the Fourteenth Doctor thought about the last fifteen hours of facing the Daleks, the Meep, the not-things and the Toymaker without rest. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Giggle (novelisation)}}) As the Fifteenth Doctor listed the numerous battles they had fought and losses they had endured, Donna opened her home up the Fourteenth Doctor, and offered the theory that he had regenerated back into his tenth incarnation's appearance as a way of telling himself to "come home" to her. As he realised they were right, the Fourteenth Doctor still refused to part with the TARDIS, but the Fifteenth Doctor used the lingering powers of the Toymaker's domain to duplicate the TARDIS with a [[mallet]] as his prize for wining the game. Accepting that he had to let himself heal, the Fourteenth Doctor bid farewell to his fifteenth incarnation as he left to explore the universe. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}}) |
|
| |
|
| He did, however, still hold some of the vanity of his tenth incarnation, asking for an applause from the audience at the [[Dalek Dome]] when they mistook his defeat of the [[Simulacra]] Daleks for a rehearsed performance, ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)}}) and becoming mythed when he thought [[Melanie Bush]] was calling him unattractive. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}}) He also rudely rebuffed the Dalek Dome staff when they refused his instructions to close the show down, and returned smugly when he thought they had called him back. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)}})
| | Seeking a home of his own on Earth, the Doctor considered buying a [[castle]], [[mansion]] or a [[beach hut]], but eventually found [[Fourteenth Doctor's home|a house]] in the [[countryside]] that connected with him due to its history of having people spend their whole lives inside, and attempted to purchase it for [[£]][[60 (number)|60]] from the [[estate agent]] [[Tiff (The Giggle)|Tiff]], who informed him of the much higher asking price and sold him the house after he realised he could afford it with the UNIT income he had been receiving since his [[third incarnation]], and even managed to avoid talking about the [[council tax]], [[parking zone]]s, [[catchment area]]s, [[mortgage]] and [[paperwork]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Giggle (novelisation)}}) |

| [[File:Fourteenth Doctor guesses the Daleks' next action.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor springs into action. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)}})]]
| | === Rehab with the Noble family === |
| He was quick to act when it came to saving people, hastily using himself as bait to draw the Daleks away from the crowd at [[Wembley Stadium]], but could forget vital information when in the heat of the moment. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)}}) Easily succumbing to his own curiosity, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)}}) he could act carelessly, such as mentioning his two hearts and showing off his sonic screwdriver in front of Donna, even when he knew to keep her from remembering him. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Star Beast (TV story)}}) He later got separated from Donna in the [[Celestial Toyroom]] when he closed a door behind him without checking that Donna had come through. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}})
| | Although he had chosen to retire, the Doctor would take the occasional trip in the TARDIS, such as clandestinely taking Rose to [[Mars]] and Mel to [[New York City]] during the [[Gilded Age]]. During a garden party, where he entertained his adopted family with tales from his adventures, the Doctor let Donna know that he had "never been so happy in [his] life" as he witnessed the peace he had long fought for, even though Donna suggested that he could resume his travels at anytime. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}}) |
|
| |
|
| When he set himself up with a challenging task, he would look to find ways of making his mission easier on himself, though he was unafraid to do things "the hard way" when dealing with uncooperative people, though he would prefer to "chat" to solve an issue. While he would not be intentionally offensive, he was unafraid to use risqué humour. He would also leave people who were in the midst of a breakdown to focus on dealing with larger and more immediate threats, ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)}}) but would ensure that the fallen were remembered and honoured once the current crisis was over. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Star Beast (TV story)}})
| | === History takes its course === |
| | The Fourteenth Doctor would eventually overcome his issues and complete the bi-generation from which the [[Fifteenth Doctor]] emerged from. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}}) |

| While he moved with a quiet confidence, and allowed himself to embrace joy more than his tenth incarnation, the Fourteenth Doctor would have explosive and violent outbursts on occasion, screaming when needing to restore Donna's memories ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Star Beast (TV story)}}) and striking a wall with his hands in a screaming rage after being emotionally exposed by Donna's not-thing counterpart.
| | * Following a [[rupture]] in [[time]] that resulted in the creation of multiple versions of [[reality]], the Doctor asked [[Human (Double Danger)|a human]] to examine two pictures of [[the Toymaker]] to determine the differences. ([[GAME]]: {{cs|Double Danger (game)}}) |
| | | * When [[the Master]] attempted to force all the incarnations to the Doctor to [[regenerate]] at once, the Fourteenth Doctor's head was mixed with his [[Twelfth Doctor|twelfth]], [[Fifth Doctor|fifth]], and [[eighth incarnation]]s' faces, and [[Human (Random Regenerations)|a human]] was tasked with [[Identification|identifying]] each incarnation to [[Reparation|repair]] the [[timeline]]. ([[GAME]]: {{cs|Random Regenerations (game)}}) |
| He retained the identity crisis [[Thirteenth Doctor|his predecessor]] had developed over the revelations of the [[Timeless Child]], and also held intense guilt over the fact that [[the Flux]] had "destroyed half the universe" as collateral damage in a plot to kill the Thirteenth Doctor. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)}}) He was also visibly disturbed when the Toymaker claimed to have remade his past into a "jigsaw". The Doctor was also shown to retain his self-loathing, as he lambasted himself for his arrogance when confronted with the Toymaker once again, and almost lost his composure when the Toymaker taunted him with the deaths of his previous companions and the destruction caused by the Flux. The [[Fifteenth Doctor]] revealed that the Fourteenth Doctor was emotionally exhausted by everything that they had been through during their lives and everyone that they had lost along the way, which the Doctor had never stopped to deal with. At the suggestion of Donna and the Fifteenth Doctor, the Fourteenth Doctor decided to go into [[rehab]] on Earth to have the adventure of living a normal life so that he could "sort [himself] out". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}})
| | * At some point prior to [[5 March]] [[2005]], the Fourteenth Doctor was [[photograph]]ed in a photo that would come into the possession of [[Clive Finch]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Rose (novelisation)|ed=2023 Illustrated Edition}}) |

([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}}) He also liked to act, at one point pulling out a barrister's wig to conduct a mock trial against the Meep, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Star Beast (TV story)}}) and feigned death by poisoning to tease Donna. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)}}) He held a hatred for the "cryptic". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Star Beast (TV story)}})

| | |
| <!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's opinion of his other selves in chronological order-->
| |
| After the Doctor's [[bi-generation]], he embraced his fifteenth incarnation with a hug, and then work in conjuncture with him in a game of catch against the Toymaker, and they manged to emerge victorious with their teamwork. When the Doctors departed, they shared a hug and smiled affectionately at one another before leaving with mutual salutes. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}})

| |
| [[File:Fourteen kisses Donna.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor comforts Donna. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)}})]]
| |
| The Fourteenth Doctor retained his tenth incarnation's fondness for [[Donna Noble]] and was anguished at the thought of his presence in her life causing [[the DoctorDonna]] to return and kill her, only restoring Donna's memories when there was no other choice with clear reluctance and anguish, although he was elated when Donna survived due to part of the meta-crisis having been passed down to [[Rose Noble]]. Donna later encouraged the Doctor to stick around more and spend time with her family, which the Doctor suggested that he might try, while confessing to her that he was glad to have her back, as it "killed [him]" to have to wipe her memory. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Star Beast (TV story)}}) He later took up her offer to join her family when he retired on Earth, adopting Donna as a sister, Rose as his niece and [[Shaun Temple]] as his brother-in-law. He teasingly called [[Sylvia Noble]] his new "evil stepmother", and also welcomed [[Mel Bush]] as "Mad Aunty Mel", as he came to enjoy having a family with him, telling Donna that he had "never been so happy in [his] life". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}})
| |
| | |
| The Fourteenth Doctor was also more outwardly expressive of his feelings towards his friends, frequently stating that he loved Donna, [[Wilfred Mott]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Star Beast (TV story)}}) and [[Sarah Jane Smith]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}}) He would also outwardly cry, notably becoming distressed upon thinking Wilf had passed away, reaffirming that he had "loved that man",
| |
| ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Star Beast (TV story)}}) and greeted him with an overjoyed hug while affectionately calling him "old soldier" when they reunited. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)}}) When the Doctor joined the Noble family, he happily named Wilf his "grandad". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}})
| |
| | |
| When it as "the only thing [he had] left", the Doctor held his TARDIS with great affection, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)}}) patting it while calling his ship a "good girl", ([[TV]]: {{cs|Doctor Who: The Bedtime Story (TV story)}}) gently caring for it while it was damaged, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)}}) and also grew emotional when believing he might have to give up the TARDIS and retire so the Fifteenth Doctor could continue adventuring.
| |
| | |
| <!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's feelings and opinions on Earth and humanity-->
| |
| While he knew they could be "clever and bright and brilliant", the Fourteenth Doctor knew that humanity was equally "savage and venal and relentless" with their "lies [and] righteousness", and were "poisoning the world" by constantly "using [their] intelligence to be stupid". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}})
| |
| | |
| <!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's romances-->

| <!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's opinions and relationships with children and youngsters-->
| |
| <!--Examples following this point focus on this particular incarnation of the Doctor's opinion of the Daleks and other enemies-->
| |
| Continuing the blasé attitude his tenth incarnation showed towards them, the Fourteenth Doctor called the [[Dalek]]s "nasty children in metal suits", and elevated himself as a "grown-up" in comparison to them. He tried to belittle [[Red Supreme Dalek (Liberation of the Daleks)|the Supreme Dalek]] by calling it "[[Diana Ross|Di Ross]]", and then took joy in its inability to shoot him. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)}})
| |
| | |
| Because of the vast powers at his disposal, the Doctor feared [[the Toymaker]], but lambasted him for being "so small" and noting using his powers to better the universe, even offering to play games with him throughout the cosmos to enable them both to become "celestial". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}})

| |
| When his regeneration was triggered, the Fourteenth Doctor accepted the change, reassuring Donna and Mel that it "[was] not dying", though he was still saddened. However, his sadness quickly changed to confusion when it turned out to be a bi-generation, though he was elevated with the results regardless. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}})

| === Habits and quirks ===
| |
| Along with his face, the Fourteenth Doctor inherited several of his tenth incarnation's quirks, such as proclaiming "What!?" repeatedly when vexed by a situation, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Power of the Doctor (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Star Beast (TV story)}}) pulling at his face when thinking, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Power of the Doctor (TV story)}}, {{cs|Destination: Skaro (TV story)}}) a need to excessively apologies, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Destination: Skaro (TV story)}}) his affection for the word "[[allons-y]]", ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Star Beast (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}}) swaggering around with his hands in his pockets, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Doctor Who: The Bedtime Story (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Star Beast (TV story)}}, {{cs|Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}}) sitting with his legs stretched out and crossed, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Star Beast (TV story)}}) tossing his coat aside when he didn't wish to wear it, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Star Beast (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}}) and describing developments as "brilliant". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Star Beast (TV story)}} , {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}}) He also wore glasses when inspecting gadgets ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)}}) or looking at information on a screen.

| Looking above the age of 35-years-old, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Star Beast (TV story)}}) the Fourteenth Doctor bore a strong resemblance to his [[tenth incarnation]], sharing his tall, slim frame, finely boned [[hand]]s and [[face]], and large, dark [[brown]] [[eye]]s, as well as his thick [[brown]] [[hair]] with [[sideburns]], though with a slight copper tinge. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Power of the Doctor (TV story)}}) He instantly recognised the similarity from running his [[tongue]] over his [[teeth]] ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|A Letter from the Doctor (DWAN 2024 short story)|page=6}}) and by the familiar feeling of his [[face]], which also had a five-o'clock shadow of stubble. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Power of the Doctor (TV story)}})
| |
| | |
| His [[kidney]]s remained their normal [[blue]] colour, ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)}}) but he had distinct [[braincell]]s ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|A Letter from the Doctor (DWAN 2024 short story)|page=6}}) and [[blood]] to his other incarnations.

| As his clothes manifested with him from his predecessor's regeneration, the Fourteenth Doctor emerged wearing a [[Navy (colour)|navy blue]] [[trenchcoat]] over a [[white]] [[button]]-up [[shirt]], with grey knitted [[tie]], [[brown (colour)|brown]] and [[Turquoise (colour)|turquoise]] checkered-[[tartan]] [[trousers]] and a matching [[waistcoat]] with lapels, and papyrus colored [[Converse]] [[shoe]]s. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Power of the Doctor (TV story)}}) He also wore a white undershirt, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}}) and owned a pair of tortoise shell [[glasses]]. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)}})

| After bi-generating, half of his clothes were taken by the [[Fifteenth Doctor]], leaving him with just his undershirt, waistcoat, and trousers, though he was later shown to have replaced his shirt and shoes once he settled down with the [[Noble family]], though he kept his shirt unbuttoned. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}})

| === Casting ===
| |
| * Having previously portrayed the [[Tenth Doctor]] prior to his tenure as the fourteenth incarnation, [[David Tennant]] holds the distinction of being the first actor to have portrayed two different numbered incarnations of the Doctor in a mainline story of ''Doctor Who'' without needing to fill in for an actor playing the new incarnation, following [[Sylvester McCoy]] filling in for the [[Sixth Doctor]] during his regeneration scene in ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'' in addition to his main role as the [[Seventh Doctor]], [[Paul McGann]] briefly acting as a body double for [[John Hurt]]'s [[War Doctor]] in the closing moments of ''[[The Night of the Doctor (TV story)|The Night of the Doctor]]'' after the regeneration of his Doctor, [[Tom Baker]] and [[Colin Baker]] portraying [[the Curator]] alongside their original incarnations, and [[Richard E Grant]] playing both the [[Tenth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|Tenth Doctor]] in ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death (TV story)|The Curse of Fatal Death]]'' and the [[Ninth Doctor (Scream of the Shalka)|Ninth Doctor]] in ''[[Scream of the Shalka (webcast)|Scream of the Shalka]]''.
| |
| * The idea of the Doctor regenerating into a prior incarnation's likeness was previously proposed by series creator [[Sydney Newman]] during a [[1986 (releases)|1986]] meeting with [[BBC One]] controller [[Michael Grade]], who asked Newman for ways to reformat the program after [[Colin Baker]] was dismissed from the role of the [[Sixth Doctor]]. According to the [[1996 (releases)|1996]] book ''[[The Eighties|Doctor Who – The Eighties]]'', Newman specifically envisioned [[Patrick Troughton]], who previously played the [[Second Doctor]], portraying the Seventh Doctor for a single season before regenerating into a female eighth incarnation.

| === Regeneration ===
| |
| * The Fourteenth Doctor is the first incarnation since the Second Doctor to emerge from their [[regeneration]] with a new outfit. This deviation from the usual norm of the newly-regenerated Doctor still donning the clothes worn by their predecessor led to some confusion among viewers until [[Russell T Davies]] clarified that "[he] was very certain that [he] didn't want David [Tennant] to appear in Jodie [Whittaker]'s costume", explaining that his reason for the Doctor's clothes changing during regeneration was to avoid stereotyping "the notion of men dressing in 'women's clothes', [and] the notion of drag", describing it as a "very delicate" matter, expressing that "it has to be done with immense thought and respect", and that the media would make it "look like mockery" of that culture, especially as David Tennant is taller than Jodie Whittaker.<ref>https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/doctor-who-david-tennant-regeneration-costume-twist-newsupdate/</ref>
| |
| * The Fourteenth Doctor is the first Doctor to have their immediate post-regeneration story be depicted in a medium other than television, in the form of the ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' comic story, ''[[Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)|Liberation of the Daleks]]''.

| === In popular culture ===

| |
| * Following the post-regeneration scene in ''[[The Power of the Doctor (TV story)|The Power of the Doctor]]'', the Fourteenth Doctor appeared as a character-skin in the free multiplayer battle royale [[video game]] ''[[Fall Guys (video game)|Fall Guys]]'', released on [[1 November (releases)|1 November]] [[2022 (releases)|2022]].
| |
| * Tennant portrayed a Doctor in the Fourteenth Doctor's clothing in the [[Red Nose Day]] sketch ''[[Comic Relief 2023 (TV story)|Comic Relief 2023]]'', which saw [[Lenny Henry]] suddenly burst into a full on [[regeneration]] from stomach pains while preparing to host the Comic Relief live-show, and transform into Tennant, in a partial re-enactment of his scene in ''The Power of the Doctor'', who runs off when he notices he has to host the show. However, Henry being listed as playing the [[9.5th Doctor]] brings ambiguity on whether Tennant was meant to be playing the Fourteenth Doctor or his previous [[Tenth Doctor]] character.
