=== A day to come ===

<!--This section if for the hints and teases the Doctor finds out about his future regenerations, as well as incidents where he almost regenerates into his next incarnation. Multi-Doctor events do not belong in this section, as such events are removed from the younger Doctor's memory and he forgets the encounter, though trace memories may count.-->

The [[First Doctor]] would occasionally have premonitions of his future incarnations, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Big Hand for the Doctor (short story)|A Big Hand for the Doctor]]'') and there was a rumour that he was able to glimpse his first seven regenerations during a game of [[Eighth Man Bound]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Christmas on a Rational Planet (novel)|Christmas on a Rational Planet]]'', ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'')

=== New adventures with Mel ===

Shortly after he dropped Mel off in [[London]], the Doctor became a prisoner at "[[the Institute]]", and sent the TARDIS back to Mel to save him. After he had been driven insane, the Doctor was found by Mel, who helped him restore his sanity. Informed that the Institute was run by the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]], the Doctor found that medics were conducting experiments to graft TARDIS minds into sentient life forms, and, horrified at their amoral stance, restored the TARDIS consciousnesses to their physical bodies, and freed the inmates. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Unregenerate! (audio story)|Unregenerate!]]'')

=== Early travels with Ace ===

While exploring the TARDIS, Ace came across a locked room containing a window that visualised Gallifrey during the Doctor's childhood, which the Doctor had bought in his [[second incarnation]]. Feeling that it served as nothing more than a reminder of the past, the Doctor set about sealing the room off. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[uPVC (short story)|uPVC]]'')

=== Ending the Dalek civil war ===

=== Further travels with Ace ===

On [[Terra Alpha]], where citizens were being executed by the [[Kandyman]] if they did not follow [[Helen A]]'s happy dictatorship, the Doctor arranged the death of her beloved pet [[Stigorax]] to show Helen A that true happiness could only exist if balanced with negative emotions like sadness. Leaving citizen [[Daisy K]] and visiting [[Blues]] musician [[Trevor Sigma]] to help restore order to Terra Alpha, the Doctor and Ace departed. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Happiness Patrol (TV story)|The Happiness Patrol]]'')

=== Growing darker ===

Returning to [[Mongolia]] during the Cretaceous period to pick up Ace, the Doctor encountered a pit of [[Dhole]]s and an alien slave who had escaped from a nearby construction site. Ace arrived with a herd of assorted [[dinosaur]]s to trample the site, destroying it and freeing the slaves. The Doctor and Ace then departed together. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Living in the Past (short story)|Living in the Past]]'')

=== Work to do ===

While visiting some friends, the Doctor and Ace were ambushed by {{Ainley}} and the [[Cheetah People]], who had also captured the Doctor's friends. After burying the Master in an avalanche, the Doctor was able to liberate his friends by tricking the Cheetah People into a net. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dr. Seventh (novel)|Dr. Seventh]]'')

=== Trouble with the Timewyrm ===

=== The best of friends ===

Visiting [[Smithwood Manor]], the Doctor and Ace defeated a pair of [[Hitcher]]s who had possessed a cat and an elderly woman named Mrs. [[Lacy]]. The pair departed, leaving the sole surviving Hitcher within [[Ella Cooper]] as a form of protection for the house. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Fellow Travellers (comic story)|Fellow Travellers]]'')

=== Beginnings as Time's champion ===

While dining at an [[Ealing]] café, the Doctor and Ace were alerted to an incursion on the TARDIS, and returned to find a creature trying to leech of its power, but was stuck between the "inside" and "outside" of the TARDIS. Before the Doctor could find a way to fight off the creature, the TARDIS collided with an experimental [[time vessel]] from ancient Gallifrey, the [[Time Scaphe]], which activated the [[Banshee Circuits]] and caused the TARDIS to reconfigure itself into a multi-dimensional [[city]], which the Doctor called a [[SARDIT]]. The creature, now calling itself "the [[Process]]", attempted to regain the "Future" which the Doctor had "stolen" by attempting to kill him, but failed.

=== Losing Ace ===

Following the funeral of Ace's friend [[Julian Milton]], the Doctor brought the TARDIS to [[2570]] [[Heaven (Love and War)|Heaven]], where the pair became friends with a group called the [[Traveller (Love and War)|Travellers]]. The Doctor then helped Professor [[Bernice Summerfield]] open the way to a [[Heavenite]] observatory, and deciphered writing they found to discover a plot by the [[Hoothi]] to use Heaven to create an army of the dead. Entering [[Puterspace]], the Doctor was attacked by the [[Vacuum Church]], working in league with the Hoothi, and forced to relive the slow death of his [[third incarnation]], until he was freed by [[Christopher (Love and War)|Christopher]], a psychic Traveller.

=== First exploits with Benny ===

On their travels, the Doctor and Benny met [[Kadiatu Lethbridge-Stewart]] in the [[22nd century]] whilst combatting an entity the Doctor nicknamed [[Fred (Transit)|Fred]] which was attempting to enter their universe using the [[Sol Transit System]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Transit (novel)|Transit]]'') The pair then encountered a group of ancient [[Pureblood Sontaran]]s. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Pureblood (comic story)|Pureblood]]'')  

=== Amicable travels ===

Now roaming the universe amicably, the three friends visited many planets, including [[Olleril]], during its annual [[Tragedy Day]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Tragedy Day (novel)|Tragedy Day]]'') and [[Peladon]], whilst tracking [[the Diadem]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Legacy (novel)|Legacy]]'')

=== Alone with Benny ===

The Doctor and Benny had an encounter with powerful [[Sensopath]]s from the end of time, during which Benny's good friend, [[Darius Cheynor]], died. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Infinite Requiem (novel)|Infinite Requiem]]'')

=== Joined by two Adjudicators ===

[[File:Original Sin Doctor.jpg|thumb|The Doctor encounters Chris and Roz. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Original Sin (novel)|Original Sin]]'')]]

=== Travelling with Chris and Roz ===

Now one member smaller, the TARDIS crew continued their travels, discovering an ancient Martian weapon known as the [[GodEngine]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[GodEngine (novel)|GodEngine]]'') visiting America in the 20th and 21st centuries ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Christmas on a Rational Planet (novel)|Christmas on a Rational Planet]]'') and reuniting with Benny to aid her in her search for [[Isaac Summerfield]], her father. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Return of the Living Dad (novel)|Return of the Living Dad]]'')

=== Alone with Chris ===

=== Champion's end ===

After returning [[Penelope Gate]] and [[Joel Mintz]] back to their own times, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Room With No Doors (novel)|The Room With No Doors]]'') the Doctor travelled on his own for a while, reuniting with [[Sarah Jane Smith]] in [[Hong Kong]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Bullet Time (novel)|Bullet Time]]'') and [[Ace]] in [[Paris]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Set Piece (novel)|Set Piece]]'') After which, he finally dealt with the Logovore, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Death Sentences (short story)|Death Sentences]]'') delivered [[Edward Woodbourne]]'s letter to [[Mary Woodbourne|his wife]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Never Seen Cairo (short story)|Never Seen Cairo]]'') and convinced [[Melissa (Spookasem)|Melissa]] to reject the Serpent Ride. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Spookasem (short story)|Spookasem]]'')

=== Moving on ===

Instead of heading straight for [[Skaro]], the Doctor, feeling nostalgic, travelled to [[1979]] Paris, where he watched the [[Fourth Doctor]] and [[Romana II|Romana]] do battle with [[Scaroth]], retrieving a sketch of Romana that his fourth incarnation had thrown away while doing so. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Notre Dame du Temps (short story)|Notre Dame du Temps]]'')

=== Old friends reunited ===

Having been informed that Ace had left the Academy to reach Skaro with an [[Omega device]] in an attempt to destroy the [[Dalek]]s, the Doctor tried to contact Benny on [[Arviem 2]], a planet ruled by a scientific dictatorship. As soon as he arrived, however, he was drugged by [[Renk Van Magnastein]], a nightclub’s owner, to whom Benny confided having made up a fake account of the planet’s history, to save an ancient civilisation from being wiped out. Seeing the potential for business if Benny’s lies were true, Renk drugged the Doctor and had him change Arviem 2’s history to suit Benny’s account; he then brought him back to the present, drunk and with no knowledge of what he did. The Doctor and Benny had to work together to try and discover what happened, all while being chased by agents of Arviem 2’s government as dangerous individuals. When they eventually did discover the truth, Benny struck Renk out cold, and the Doctor brought him in the TARDIS to have “a nice little chat” with him, before telling Benny why he contacted her. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Revolution (audio story)|The Revolution]]'')

=== New adventures with Ace ===

The Doctor tasked Ace with preventing time travelling criminal duo [[Harmonious 14 Zink]] and his wife [[1V Magda]] from interfering with established history on the planet [[Erratoon]]. On this mission she encountered, and believed she had befriended, the living [[Core to the Key to Time|Tracer]] who would later go by the name [[Zara (The Judgement of Isskar)|Zara]], but was betrayed by her, losing a great deal of her memories in the process. Seeing that she had been successful, the Doctor arrived to pick her up, intending to restore her memories using the TARDIS. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Prisoner's Dilemma (audio story)|The Prisoner's Dilemma]]'')

=== Hex joins ===

On [[2021]] Earth, the Doctor and Ace investigated signs of alien technology in use at [[St Gart's Bankside Hospital]] in London. Whilst combating a [[Cyberman]] threat, they met [[Hex|Thomas Hector Schofield]], known as "Hex", a nurse working at the hospital, and the trio worked together to prevent a plot to create super-soldiers augmented with Cyber-technology. Following their adventure, Hex joined the Doctor and Ace in their travels. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Harvest (audio story)|The Harvest]]'')

=== Battling the Elder Gods ===

Lured into the [[Celestial Toyroom]], the Doctor, Ace and Hex managed to aid a group of humans in defeating the [[Celestial Toymaker]], trapping him inside a ventriloquist's doll. In order to prevent him from ever resurfacing, the Doctor arranged for Ace and Hex to attend to the running of a mock-up sanatorium where he and the various other guests were kept unaware of their true situation. Despite their best efforts, the Doctor uncovered his own plan and the Toymaker resurfaced and managed to trick the humans into playing against him for their greatest desires in a bid to reassert himself as controller of the Toyroom. However, [[Swapnil Khan]], the final player, managed to trap him in a stalemate, enabling his daughter, [[Queenie Glasscock]], and the three travellers to escape the Toyroom and return to the real world, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Magic Mousetrap (audio story)|The Magic Mousetrap]]'') though the Doctor was now aware of Fenric's impending return, having found a chess set in the sanatorium. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Gods and Monsters (audio story)|Gods and Monsters]]'')

=== Reunited with Mel ===

After the Doctor offered Ace the chance to practice piloting the TARDIS, she inadvertently materialised inside a facility run by the [[Porcian]] [[Chimbly]]. Discovering that they were being manipulated through the use of a captured [[Resurrectionist]], the Doctor tricked Chimbly into firing on the cage apparatus imprisoning it, simultaneously freeing the tortured creature and the race he had enslaved from its psychic control. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[You Are the Doctor (audio story)|You Are the Doctor]]'')

=== Alone again ===

The Doctor decided to take a long overdue vacation to the planet of [[Ormelia]], and materialised the TARDIS aboard a spaceship orbiting the planet, where he befriended a genetically reconstructed creature named [[Vilgreth]], but discovered that his ship travelled through space by devouring planets, and was forced to stop him. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Last of the Titans (audio story)|Last of the Titans]]'')

=== Resolving old business ===

Sensing his end approaching, the Doctor became afraid that his next incarnation wouldn't be willing to do what needed to be done, and began to put all his affairs in order while he still could, to leave nothing unsung when his time came. To this end, he began to monitor interstellar communications across thousands of worlds, from the wireless communications of a multitude of law enforcement organisations to the private correspondence of governments and the criminal underworlds. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Persuasion (audio story)|Persuasion]]'')

=== Nearing the end ===

The TARDIS detected an anomaly around the [[Winston Churchill]] re-election campaign, and discovered that {{Hound}} was trying to get him re-elected. He also learnt of a set of thefts of art treasures and helped to investigate. He became concerned about [[Alicia Dowan]] after a set of bombs were being stolen. He undid the changes the Monk did to a crucial speech. He partially fixed Dowan's ships. His actions to put history on course made him unpopular with Churchill.
