Having come to enjoy London, the Doctor delayed his departure for a time. When the [[Micro machine (The Heralds of Destruction)|micro machines]] invaded Earth, the Doctor captured a piece of them for analysis, being shocked to find his preceding incarnation having once again been sent to help him. When Jo was infected by the micro machine he'd captured, the Doctor ventured into [[Jo Grant's mind|her mind]] to make peace with it. When he returned to the physical world, he was met by {{Delgado}} who revealed that the Second Doctor was in fact [[Ramón Salamander]]. Tracking down Salamander just as he travelled back to [[1868]], the Doctor managed to use his friendship with the micro machines to have them stand down. Upon returning to [[UNIT HQ]], the Doctor began making preparations to leave Earth and take the micro machines to a planet where they could develop on their own.

Joined by Liz Shaw for the TARDIS' maiden voyage, the Doctor and Jo travelled to [[Russia]], [[1916]], where they encountered [[Grigori Rasputin]]. Liz was brought to the authorities after it was learned she disliked Rasputin because of her knowledge of history. The authorities, who also disliked him, invited Rasputin to a house, where they planned to kill him by poison. Jo saw the men poisoning his food and replaced it with wholesome food. [[Felix Mather]], noticing that he had not died from the poisoning, shot Rasputin in the back, and then went to celebrate. Rasputin, who had survived the shot, tried to leave, but was gunned down again and then dumped in a lake. The Doctor tried to save him, but was too late.

The Doctor raised an underwater prison to save multiple women trapped there as a cruel and unreasonable punishment, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Deep Stretch (short story)}}) and encountered an alien known as [[Rowe]], who put him and Jo through multiple death scenarios.

As the Doctor's [[immune system]] was compromised by regeneration, the Faction's [[biodata virus]] bonded to his [[biodata]]. The Doctor still regenerated into his [[fourth incarnation]], and history continued much like it did before the change, but by the end of the Doctor's eighth incarnation the virus would corrupt him into a member of the Faction. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Interference - Book Two (novel)}}) As part of this process, the Eighth Doctor lost his [[shadow]].

However, the TARDIS took the infection and fragments of the original [[timeline]] into itself, preserving the essence of the Third Doctor who didn't die on Dust.

Over his five millennia in the ship, he trained its [[spider]]s to be his scouts and lookouts. Finally, with the Edifice hanging over [[Romana III's Gallifrey|Gallifrey]] during the [[Faction Paradox invasion of Gallifrey|Faction Paradox invasion]], the Third Doctor confronted [[Grandfather Paradox]] and guided the Eighth Doctor to use the TARDIS' defence systems to destroy Gallifrey and [[Kasterborous]], forcing the universe to choose one of the two timelines. | However, the TARDIS took the infection and fragments of the original [[timeline]] into itself, preserving the essence of the Third Doctor who didn't die on Dust.

The Eighth Doctor was uncertain which timeline would become real. However, afterwards, his [[shadow]] reappeared, suggesting the biodata virus was no longer a part of his timeline; this led [[Compassion]] to speculate, speaking to [[Fitz Kreiner]], that the Doctor's visit to Dust had indeed been unwritten from [[history]]. However, she also believed the War in Heaven at large had been averted ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Ancestor Cell (novel)}}) which proved to be incorrect, as Compassion would later become a major player in the War on [[Nine Gallifreys|other Gallifreys]].

When trapped in a dimensionally-unstable pocket universe controlled by [[Iam]] and {{O'Mara}}, the [[Sixth Doctor]]'s morphic print was destabilised, causing him to unwillingly regress back through his previous incarnations as his body sought a stable morphic print. The Doctor was forced to use his morphic instability to mentally regress back to his third persona when he found himself requiring the Third Doctor's skills at hand-to-hand combat to act as a gladiator in this pocket reality, essentially letting the Third Doctor's persona control his body when he was required to fight.

In a bid to detach the [[Funhouse]] from [[the TARDIS]] in the [[time vortex]], the Sixth Doctor bound the switch that protected the TARDIS' passengers from the changing time fields outside with a string, allowing him to pull it remotely from the limited protection of the [[Zero Room]]. As a result, the Doctor immediately began to regress back through his first five incarnations as he made his way back to the [[console room]] where, as the [[First Doctor]], he flipped the switch back, restoring himself while trapping the Funhouse in the vortex.

On another occasion, the [[Seventh Doctor]] used the TARDIS [[telepathic circuit]]s to bring forth the memory of his third incarnation when he felt that the Third Doctor's technical expertise would be useful to disarm a dangerous bomb. The Doctor described his third persona as vain and suggested he wouldn't have liked being trapped in the seventh incarnation's body. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Timewyrm: Genesys (novel)}}) However, this allowed the [[Timewyrm]] to infiltrate the Doctor's mind, and set up [[Anthony Rupert Hemmings]] in the portion of the Doctor's subconscious occupied by the Third Doctor's persona. The Doctor offered little resistance, distracted by the discovery that the [[The Leader|dictator]] of the [[Inferno universe]]'s [[Republic of Great Britain|Great Britain]] was his direct counterpart. When the Seventh Doctor and Ace entered the Doctor's mind, the Seventh Doctor was able to help the Third Doctor gather the strength needed to expel Hemmings from their mind. No longer a prisoner of his own making, the Third Doctor began to rebuild the Doctor's subconscious mind.

Authoritative, yet rebellious, the Third Doctor always favoured peace and diplomacy above violence and aggression, though this led him to clash with stalwart military-minded individuals who chose rules over morality, with figures such as the Brigadier often being a thorn in his side, especially when a particularly aggressive influential had a greater majority of imprudent people on their side. The Doctor held a strong disgust towards these people, who were any combination of stubborn, selfishly goal-driven or close-minded, and would be further outraged if they refused to listen to him, ignored his protests or went to absurd lengths just to dodge the risk of being proven wrong, especially when they acted antagonistic and undiplomatic.

Feeling akin to "a shipwrecked mariner" while stranded on Earth without a working TARDIS, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Inferno (TV story)}}) the Third Doctor spent a lot of his time trying to escape his exile, either by tricking others into helping him unlock his TARDIS' capabilities, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Spearhead from Space (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Claws of Axos (TV story)}}) by trying to repair the circuits himself, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Ambassadors of Death (TV story)}}, {{cs|Inferno (TV story)}}, {{cs|Colony in Space (TV story)}}, {{cs|Day of the Daleks (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Mutants (TV story)}}) or by stealing parts from other TARDISes.
