Upon hearing Gerry's story, the Doctor realised what had happened, and broke Gerry's link to the TARDIS after catching him up on some of his later adventures. Hearing of the Billings' troubles, the Doctor left and arranged for the family to get a new start in [[Shoreditch]]. He also acquired a twin to the original Doctor Bear from the toyshop — one Claire had looked into, but been unable to find. [[Ian Chesterton]], summoned by the Doctor to the future headquarters by letter, found the package containing the new bear and handed it to Gerry, who unwrapped it to find the replacement wearing a replica of the Third Doctor's clothing. Attached was a note, reminding Gerry that, since Doctor Bear was a [[Time Lord]] bear, he had regenerated. | ||
The Doctor continued to send Gerry and his family new outfits and accessories for Doctor Bear over the years, always addressed to "Doctor Bear c/o Gerry Billing Esquire", later "c/o Dr Gerry Billing". | The Doctor continued to send Gerry and his family new outfits and accessories for Doctor Bear over the years, always addressed to "Doctor Bear c/o Gerry Billing Esquire", later "c/o Dr Gerry Billing". | ||
