Whilst travelling with [[Ace]], the [[Seventh Doctor]] said that he did not know if he had any family when asked by [[Kathleen Dudman]] in [[1943]], and did not correct her when she assumed that it was due to the ongoing [[Second World War]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Curse of Fenric (TV story)}}) One source made note of this and suggested that the [[Time War]] had already [[Origins of the Last Great Time War|begun in some way]] by this point in the Doctor's lifetime. ([[GAME]]: {{cs|The Curse of Fenric (game)}}) | |||
After the [[last day of the Time War]], the [[Ninth Doctor]] told [[Rose Tyler]] that his "whole family" had died as well as his "entire planet". Berating her for preventing the established death of her father [[Pete Tyler]], the Doctor rhetorically asked her if she thought it never occurred to him to go back and save them. ([[TV]]: ''[[Father's Day (TV story)|Father's Day]]'') The Tenth Doctor told [[Martha Jones]] that his family and his friends were "all gone". ([[TV]]: ''[[Gridlock (TV story)|Gridlock]]'') Later, while telling [[Donna Noble|Donna]] that he'd been a father before, he explained that he "lost all that a long time ago along with everything else." ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor's Daughter (TV story)|The Doctor's Daughter]]'') The [[Eleventh Doctor]] involuntarily reacted to [[Corc]]'s accusation that he had never lost a child. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dark Horizons (novel)|Dark Horizons]]'') Even after the Doctor realised that [[Gallifrey]] and the Time Lords were not destroyed at the end of the Time War, the Doctor still believed their family, including the missing children and grandchildren, to be dead. ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'', ''[[The Woman Who Fell to Earth (TV story)|The Woman Who Fell to Earth]]'') | |||
When asked about his family by [[Ruby Sunday]], the [[Fifteenth Doctor]] told her that he had "no one".
