The Twelfth Doctor came into being when his [[Eleventh Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|previous incarnation]] [[Regeneration|regenerated]] after an electrical mishap. He noted that he had wasted three incarnations in a very short time span simply because he "forgot to unplug". He proved the shortest-lived incarnation, only living long enough to shut off a zectronic energy generator before being hit by excess [[zectronic beam|zectronic energy]]. He immediately died from the exposure as, allegedly, zectronic energy would kill [[Time Lord]]s beyond any hope of regeneration.


The twelfth incarnation noted that he had wasted three incarnations in a very short time span simply because he "forgot to unplug". He proved the shortest-lived incarnation, only living long enough to shut off a zectronic energy generator before being hit by excess zectronic energy, subsequently dying due to the exposure. Allegedly, zectronic energy would kill [[Time Lord]]s beyond any hope of regeneration. He gave a final speech to [[Emma (The Curse of Fatal Death)|Emma]] and [[the Master (The Curse of Fatal Death)|the Master]], asking them to "look after the universe" for him, as he had "put a lot of work into it". He promised to explain later before dying. His foes, the [[Dalek]]s and the Master, vowed to reform and live better lives because of him.

Unexpectedly, he regenerated into [[Thirteenth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|a new incarnation]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death]]'')
Unexpectedly, he regenerated into a [[Thirteenth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|female incarnation]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death (TV story)|The Curse of Fatal Death]]'')


==Behind the scenes==
Sometime later his final words, "look after the universe for me, I've put a lot of work into it", would be uttered by another [[Twelfth Doctor]], on [[Karn]], when that incarnation believed he would die. ([[WC]]: ''[[Prologue (webcast)|Prologue]]'')
*The line "I've put a lot of work into it" would later be incorporated into ''[[The Eleventh Hour]]'', also written by Moffat, spoken by the true [[Eleventh Doctor]], referring to Earth while responding to the [[Atraxi]]'s comment that he was not a native of the planet.
 
*Like ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death]]'', this incarnation of [[the Doctor]] was not considered [[canon]]. However, [[EDA]]: ''[[The Tomorrow Windows]]'' later brought him into canon as a possible future incarnation.
== Behind the scenes ==
* In an early draft of the script, this incarnation was referred to as "The Gorgeous Doctor", with a parenthetical suggestion that he be played by Robson Green. His final name, used in the behind-the-scenes documentary and in ''Doctor Who Magazine'' credits, was "The Handsome Doctor".<ref>[[DWM 328|Doctor Who Magazine #328]]</ref>
* [[Russell T Davies]] later offered the role of the [[Ninth Doctor]] to [[Hugh Grant]], who declined, thinking the show would not be a success, a decision he later came to regret.<ref>[http://www.contactmusic.com/news/grant-dismissed-doctor-who-as-tv-flop_1022674 ContactMusic.com]</ref>
* The line, ''"I've put a lot of work into it"'', would later be incorporated into the television story ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'', also written by Moffat, spoken by [[Matt Smith]]'s [[Eleventh Doctor]], referring to Earth while responding to the [[Atraxi]]'s comment that he was not a native of the planet. The full line was also stated by [[Peter Capaldi]]'s [[Twelfth Doctor]] to the [[Sisterhood of Karn]] in the [[Series 9 (Doctor Who 2005)|Series 9]] prelude webcast ''[[Prologue (webcast)|Prologue]]'' when he believed his latest adventure would result in his end.
