The '''Tenth Doctor''' came into being when his [[Ninth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|previous self]] [[regenerate]]d after the [[Dalek]]s "exterminated" him on the [[planet]] [[Tersurus]]. This very short-lived incarnation called himself "cute, sexy and lick-the-mirror handsome". An overly confident and flirtatious personality, he referred to his companion [[Emma (The Curse of Fatal Death)|Emma]] as "the only companion I've ever... ''had''", and commented that the Master had "nice tits", which were really [[Dalek]] etheric beam locators. He noted that, in this new body, he felt he would be very good at rewiring. He regenerated when trying to fix the Daleks' broken [[zectronic beam]] and turned into his [[Eleventh Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|next self]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death]]'')
The '''Tenth Doctor''' was the result of the [[regeneration]] of the [[Ninth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|Ninth Doctor]] when he fell to [[Dalek]] firepower.

The Tenth Doctor came into being when his [[Ninth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|previous incarnation]] [[Regeneration|regenerated]] after the [[Dalek]]s exterminated him on the [[planet]] [[Tersurus]]. He himself regenerated when trying to fix the Daleks' broken [[zectronic beam]] and turned into his [[Eleventh Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|next incarnation]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death (TV story)|The Curse of Fatal Death]]'')
 
== Psychological profile ==
Though a short-lived incarnation, the Tenth Doctor showed an overly confident and flirtatious personality, describing himself as "cute, sexy and lick-the-mirror handsome", and openly referring to [[Emma (The Curse of Fatal Death)|Emma]] as "the only companion [he'd] ever [[sex|had]]". He also mocked {{Pryce}}, calling him camp and saying he had "nice tits", which were really [[Dalek]] [[etheric beam locator]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death (TV story)|The Curse of Fatal Death]]'')
 
== Appearance ==
The Tenth Doctor ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death (TV story)|The Curse of Fatal Death]]'') bore a resemblance to a [[Ninth Doctor (Scream of the Shalka)|Ninth Doctor]] who existed as an [[The Doctor's ninth incarnation|alternative possibility]] to his own predecessor. ([[WC]]: ''[[Scream of the Shalka (webcast)|Scream of the Shalka]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Tomorrow Windows (novel)|The Tomorrow Windows]]'')
 
== Behind the scenes ==
* In an early draft of the script, written prior to casting, this incarnation was referred to as "The New Doctor", and introduced as follows: ''"Gone is the suave courtly adventurer, replaced by a handsome, muscular rugby-playing type - the sort of swaggering vulgarian the previous Doctor would have loathed on sight."'' His final name, used in the behind-the-scenes documentary and in ''Doctor Who Magazine'' credits, was "The Quite Handsome Doctor".<ref>Doctor Who Magazine #328</ref>
* [[Richard E Grant]] voiced an [[Ninth Doctor (Scream of the Shalka)|animated version of the Ninth Doctor]] in the webcast animation ''[[Scream of the Shalka (webcast)|Scream of the Shalka]]''.
