It must have been over a century before he and the TARDIS "stole" each other but he could quite easily already have been a renegade, albeit a youthful one. Note: Talking to the Doctor, aged 900-odd, in ''The Doctor's Wife'', the TARDIS said he'd been opening the police box doors the wrong way for 700 years. Allowing for the round numbers being slightly inaccurate, that still makes him in the region of 200-odd when he arrived in Shoreditch and the TARDIS took the appearance of a police box. 200-odd minus 90 is over one century but isn't "centuries" (plural). From what little was said, the Doctor and Susan had been travelling together only a relatively short time -- two or three years at most -- before they went to Shoreditch. That's too short a time to make much difference to the calculation. --[[Special:Contributions/89.242.73.40|89.242.73.40]]<sup>[[User talk:89.242.73.40#top|talk to me]]</sup> 03:36, January 15, 2012 (UTC) | It must have been over a century before he and the TARDIS "stole" each other but he could quite easily already have been a renegade, albeit a youthful one.

on the idea of years in the whoniverse, how do we know what years the doctor is counting by. for example, a year on mars is almost duuble that of a year on earth. the doctor and the tardis could be switching between earth years and gallifreyan years when they refer to time in that manner. or really, the doctor could refer to any year from any planet in the known universe. also, how does a timetraveler keep track of his own age? this is why i think the doctor just makes up his age whenever he says it. also, in mind of evil, the doctor implies he's thousands of years old. with this in mind, it makes all things to do with age and the doctor very complicated. who knows, maybe the madusa cascade was centuries before the doctor became a renegade in earth years but not in galifreyan years. was it ever stated how earth years compare to galifreyan years?
