Ninth Doctor (Scream of the Shalka)

A longcoat-wearing Ninth Doctor saved the planet Earth from the Shalka in the year 2003.

Biography
After an unknown event, which apparently destroyed all Time Lords save himself, the melancholic Doctor met a new assistant, barmaid Alison Cheney in Lannet, Lancashire. Together, they fought and won against the silicon-based Shalka. Afterwards, Alison left with him in the TARDIS. (Scream of the Shalka)

Characteristics
This Doctor was serious, and often angry, but wasn't averse to the odd bit of fun. He kept an android version of the Master in his TARDIS.

Quotes

Canonicity
Just after the new 2005 series was announced with the official Ninth Doctor, the BBC webcast starring the "new" Doctor, Scream of the Shalka, was released onto the BBC website. This caused this Doctor to be shunted into "unofficial" status. Lance Parkin in his AHistory reasons that since this incarnation of the Doctor never literally specified himself as the ninth (but only heavily implied it) that this version of the Doctor could still one day exist in the Tenth Doctor's future.

Possible appearance in The Cabinet of Light
Some fans have noted the coincidental similarity between the unspecified incarnation of the Doctor seen in the Telos Novella The Cabinet of Light by Daniel O'Mahony and the Shalka version.
