Eleventh Doctor

The Eleventh Doctor was the eleventh incarnation of the renegade Time Lord known as the Doctor. Although he was very alien compared to his previous incarnation, he retained his vigour for defending the Universe. He had a more eccentric personality than his previous self. He eventually married River Song, making him the son-in-law of companions Amy Pond and Rory Williams.

Foreshadowing
In 1851 London, the Tenth Doctor met a human called Jackson Lake, who believed himself to be the Doctor. The Doctor thought Jackson might be his next incarnation, or a later one. (DW: The Next Doctor) After the 200 returned to London from San Helios, the psychic, Carmen predicted the Doctor's imminent "death." (DW: Planet of the Dead)

Later in his life, the Doctor saw his true next incarnation in a dream. (IDW: To Sleep, Perchance to Scream)

Regeneration
After absorbing a vast amount of radiation, the Doctor's tenth incarnation regenerated in his TARDIS. The energy released caused great damage to the vessel. Addled by the regeneration, he did not immediately realize the TARDIS was on fire and about to crash. When he did, he seemed to enjoy the thrill of the moment, gleefully calling out "Geronimo!" as his TARDIS plummeted to Earth. (DW: The End of Time)

Alone no more
Crashing in Leadworth in England, the Doctor met Amelia Pond, a lonely little Scottish girl with a mysterious crack in her bedroom wall. An alien called Prisoner Zero had escaped from a prison on its other side. Before he could investigate further, the cloister bell brought him back to the TARDIS. The Doctor promised Amelia he would return in five minutes and have her travel with him. Due to the damaged engines, he arrived twelve years later. The Doctor persuaded her to help him capture Prisoner Zero for the Atraxi, lest he incinerate Earth. After detaining Prisoner Zero and stealing a new outfit, the Doctor took a short trip to the moon before returning to Amy and inviting her to join him on his travels. It took him two years. The Doctor did not know he had arrived the night before her wedding. He agreed to return her to the next morning. (DW: The Eleventh Hour)

For their first trip, the Doctor took Amy to the late 33rd century on the Starhip UK, where they saved a Star Whale from the unintended cruelty of the ship's inhabitants; the Doctor also learned that his past experiences with royalty had made him a legend to the royal family. While preparing to leave, the Doctor got a phone call from Winston Churchill asking for help. (DW: The Beast Below)

Amy and the Doctor arrived in World War II London a month after the call. Churchill had two Dalek survivors of the War in the Medusa Cascade, pretending to aid Britain in the war against the Nazis. The Doctor fell into a trap when trying to prove the Daleks were evil; he inadvertently helped them use a Progenitor device to rebuild their race. Forced to choose either saving the Earth from being destroyed by an Oblivion Contiuum or finishing the Daleks once and for all, the Doctor chose the Earth and let the Daleks escape. However, he became quite curious as to why Amy had no recollection of the Daleks.(DW: Victory of the Daleks)

Finding a calling card from River Song in a museum, the Doctor was led into a hunt for a Weeping Angel with her and the Church. However, it turned out that an entire army was waiting for them and a growing crack in time also posed a threat. A scan showed it had been caused by a very large explosion cracking all of time and space. Using knowledge the crack erased things from existence, the Doctor tricked the Angels into falling into the crack. (DW: The Time of Angels / Flesh and Stone)

After learning Amy was getting married and fighting off her sexual advances, (DW: Flesh and Stone) the Doctor collected her fiancé, Rory Williams. He took them to Venice as a wedding present, but found fish-like aliens disguised as vampires, led by Rosanna Calvierri. They planned to flood Venice to save their species. After the death of the girls converted into Saturnyns, the Doctor was helpless to prevent Rosanna's suicide, ending the Saturnyn species. (DW: The Vampires of Venice)

They also fell into the traps of the Dream Lord, a manifestation of the Doctor's dark side caused by Psychic pollen. The Doctor solved the Dream Lord's puzzle of which reality was real, but feared the dark entity still dwelt within his psyche, waiting for another game. (DW: Amy's Choice) Landing in Cwmtaff, Wales by error, the Doctor found a drilling operation had disturbed a Silurian city and its inhabitants were retaliating. Capturing a Silurian for a bargaining chip, the Doctor tried to strike a treaty between humans and the Silurians. However, the humans did not trust the Silurians due to their hostile military commander, Restac. The Doctor had the Silurian leader, Eldane, put the civilians to sleep for a thousand years while humanity prepared for the Silurians. On the way out of the Silurian habitat, the Doctor found another crack and fished a piece of shrapnel from its explosion. Rory took a blast from a dying Restac meant for him. The Doctor left Rory's body behind to be absorbed by the crack. He tried to help Amy remember Rory when he was erased from history, but failed. Alone, the Doctor examined the piece of shrapnel. It was part of the TARDIS' outer shell. (DW: The Hungry Earth / Cold Blood)

The Doctor and Amy discovered the Daleks had destroyed the human race in 1963, using the Eye of Time to alter history. Following them back to Skaro, they travelled through the Eye to before the Daleks arrived on Skaro to use it themselves. The Doctor constructed a vision disruptor to blind them, and overloaded the magnetic field generators, causing the Daleks to lose the Eye and to have never used it to alter history. (VG: City of the Daleks)

The Doctor and Amy arrived in GSO Arctic Drilling Station, where a nano-virus spread by Cybermats had turned the crew into Cyberslaves to recover Cybermen trapped beneath the ice millennia before. The Cyberslave Elizabeth Meadows, threatening Amy with conversion, forcing the Doctor to awaken the Cybermen inside their ship; they promptly killed the Cyberslaves. After rescuing Amy, he used the same control panel to turn the Cybermen's nano-virus against them, shutting them down and blowing up their ship. (VG: Blood of the Cybermen)

The Doctor and Amy visited Smyslov 3 for the first time, and learnt their future selves had just visited and caused a lot of damage. Tanik threatened to imprison them for their actions, but the TARDIS had already taken off before he could disable the ship. (WC: Wish You Were Here) While trying to rescue the Doctor from being trapped in a spacetime riptide, Amy accidentally released the Entity from its container in the TARDIS. The Entity created a lesion in time to send Amy a thousand years into the future and began feeding on her timeline. The Doctor built a Tachyon Feedback Loop which he sent to Amy to bring her and the Entity back to the Doctor. He captured the Entity and sent it into the riptide, where it could freely gorge on the four-dimensional Chronomites without harming them. (VG: TARDIS)

The Doctor continued to their intended vacation spot, Poseidon 8. He found it under attack by a Zaralok, occupied by the Vashta Nerada and its people under a "sickness". He returned power to the undersea farming facility, treated the vortron radiation poisoning of its crew and used a triangulation device to trace the appearance of the Zaralok and the Vashta Nerada to a World War II era warship, the USS Eldridge. This had brought through a dimensional vortex caused by a malfunctioning cloaking device. The Doctor and Amy deactivated the device, returning the Zaralok and Vashta Nerada to their proper timelines. (VG: Shadows of the Vashta Nerada)

Still feeling guilty about Rory, the Doctor took Amy to nice places, but was challenged to save Vincent van Gogh from a Krafayis, a beast only Vincent could see. The Doctor and Vincent's battle with the Krafayis resulted in the creature's death. The Doctor took Vincent to an art gallery, where the painter was able to see just how much people would care about his work. (DW: Vincent and the Doctor)

The Doctor spent some time living in a Colchester flat after the TARDIS dematerialised with Amy inside. Becoming a flatmate to Craig Owens, the Doctor found the flat upstairs was actually a makeshift timeship. Its computer was trying to find a suitable candidate to allow it to leave. The Doctor, Craig and Craig's friend Sophie shut down and destroyed the ship. (DW: The Lodger)

Restarting the Universe
While visiting Planet One, the Doctor found a message from River Song. It led Amy and him to Britain 102 A.D. River told him Vincent had painted a premonition of the TARDIS exploding, titling it The Pandorica Opens. This led him to Stonehenge, where an alliance of alien species imprisoned him in the Pandorica to prevent the cracks in time from occuring. When the Doctor had been sealed inside, the TARDIS exploded anyway; everything but the Earth vanished. (DW: The Pandorica Opens)

The Doctor was immediately released by an Auton copy of Rory on orders from the Doctor's future self. He used River's vortex manipulator to travel nearly two thousand years into the future, then to travel back to 102 AD to hand Rory the screwdriver that had originally freed him. After a confrontation with an echo of a Dalek, he wired himself into the Pandorica to restart the universe with its restoration field powered by the exploding TARDIS. He piloted the Pandorica into the explosion and found himself a week in his past; his time stream was unravelling. Before fastforwarding to oblivion, he left a psychic imprint in Amy's mind to allow her to remember him back into existence. On her wedding day, the Doctor was returned to the universe and attended her wedding reception. After the party, he received a call for help and took off for a new adventure with the newlyweds. (DW: The Big Bang)

During Amy and Rory's honeymoon
The Doctor left Amy and Rory on a honeymoon planet shortly before his TARDIS was taken by a rogue branch of the Claw Shansheeth. They left him trapped in the wasteland of the Crimson Heart. The Shansheeth announced the Doctor was dead and held a faux funeral to lure in his past aquantices. They planned to drain the memories of his past companions Sarah Jane Smith and Jo Jones to create a new TARDIS key using a Memory Weave. The Doctor travelled to Earth using residual Artron energy Clyde Langer had absorbed from the TARDIS in their previous encouter and beat the Shansheeth with the help of Jo, Sarah and Sarah's companions. (SJA: Death of the Doctor)

After getting a ditress signal from Amy, the Doctor met, who refused to help him save Amy, Rory and four thousand other passengers on a crashing starliner trapped in a locked cloud belt. He used time travel to alter Kazran's life, hoping to change him into a better person by allowing him to live with his love, Abigail Pettigrew. Though at first unsuccessfu, he succeeded after showing young Kazran the cruel person he would become. Kazran became a better man and saved his friends. The Doctor left with Amy and Rory, thinking up new locations their can honeymoon at. (DW: A Christmas Carol)

During some repair work on the TARDIS, the Doctor became annoyed by an argument between Rory and Amy that cause Rory to mess up on his part of the repairs during the procedure. Much to his shock, the Doctor found that the mistake caused the TARDIS to materialize within itself, trapping them inside forever. Luckily, a second version of Amy arrived and explains that the outer shell drifted into the near future; this, dispite some confusion, allowing the Doctor to tell himself how to undo the space loop and have one of each of them in the TARDIS. The Doctor then went back onto repairing the TARDIS. (DW: Space / Time)

First encounter with the Silence
Some time after Amy and Rory's wedding, the Doctor, travelling by himself, received an anonymous invitation leading him to an American diner in 2011; there he found Amy, Rory and River. Unbeknownst to him, they had witnessed the death of his current incarnation, some 200 years older. Knowing they were keeping something from him, he reluctantly agreed to find the fourth guest, Canton Delaware, in 1969; he found President Nixon consulting Canton about a mysterious call. Persauding Nixon to let him help, the Doctor traced the calls to Florida, where the caller, a little girl, was kept in a biomechanical "spacesuit". He also discovered that Earth had been occupied for centuries by aliens known as the Silence. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut)

Three months later, the Doctor was interned at Area 51 while Canton feigned hunting down Amy, Rory and River; everything part of the Doctor's plan. The Doctor captured a Silent and drove it to utter the words "you should kill us all on sight", which was recorded and spliced it into the footage of the 1969 Apollo 11 Moon landing; every human who would ever watch the footage would have the post-hypnotic suggestion put into their minds and carry it out. With the defeat of the Silence assured, the Doctor set off for new adventures with Amy and Rory after returning River to Stormcage; she kissed him, to his pleasure and confusion.

However, he became concerned about Amy being pregnant or not and began scanning her to see if she was, only to get a confused reading that flipped between postive and negative. (DW: Day of the Moon)

Travelling with Amy and Rory again
The TARDIS received a distress signal, leading the Doctor, Amy and Rory to a pirate ship, the Fancy, in the 17th century. The Doctor learned the pirates were being terrorised by a "Siren". After the crew and Rory had been taken by the Siren, it turned out she was a virtual physician from an invisible and intangible spaceship occupying the same space as the Fancy. The Fancy's crew took over the spaceship to give the Siren someone to look after. (DW: The Curse of the Black Spot)

Following a faked distress message from another Time Lord, the Doctor left the universe to go to a sentient planetoid called House in a bubble universe. The Matrix of the Doctor's TARDIS was placed in Idris. From the remnants of other TARDISes they built a new one and piloted it into the Doctor's. When Idris died, the Matrix was released back into the TARDIS, where it drove out House, who had taken control in its absence. The Doctor learned he had not stolen his TARDIS by chance; it had wanted to leave Gallifrey as much as he did. (DW: The Doctor's Wife)

The Doctor and his companions crash-landed in the 22nd century when a solar tsunami struck the TARDIS. They found a factory mining acid. Miranda Cleaves, the factory's boss, showed the time travellers a substance called "The Flesh", which created clones (known as Gangers) of the workers for hazardous duty. A follow-up storm allowed the Gangers to function on their own. The Doctor saw no difference between Ganger and human. He tried to bring them together in peace, but each party wished to destroy the other While hiding from hostile Ganger in the factory, the Doctor met a Ganger of himself. (DW: The Rebel Flesh)

He got along well with his copy. To see if Amy could get along with his double, his Ganger and he switched their shoes, the only way to distinguish them. The Doctor's plan nearly backfired when the workers treated him poorly. After winning the other Gangers over, the Doctor tried to evacuate everyone from the soon-to-explode island. However, Jennifer Lucas' ganger tried to kill them. The Doctor left his Ganger to revert the Flesh at the cost of his life. After setting up a conference for Ganger rights, the Doctor revealed Amy was actually a Ganger. Promising Amy that he and Rory would find her, he dissolved her. (DW: The Almost People)

Reunions and truths
The Doctor spent a month collecting on old debts from people of many races and times, assembling an army to rescue Amy and her new baby, Melody Pond. After masquerading as a headless monk to cause chaos amongst the Church and their allies, the Doctor won the battle without bloodshed in under four minutes. This was a trap set by Madame Kovarian, who escaped with the real Melody after dissolving the Ganger she had left in her place. River appeared and revealed herself as Melody Pond. His hope renewed, the Doctor left to find and save her from Kovarian while River returned his friends to their proper times. (DW: A Good Man Goes to War)

After Amy and Rory had waited "all summer", the Doctor, failing to find Melody, noticed a newspaper showing a crop circle of his name and visited them. Their childhood friend Mels demanded at gunpoint the Doctor take her to kill Adolf Hitler. He crashed the TARDIS into a humanoid ship called the Teselecta piloted by miniaturised time travellers. They wished to take Hitler from near the end of his timeline and punish him. However, the partial Time Lord Mels regenerated, revealing herself as Melody Pond, into River Song. The Doctor stopped her numerous tries to kill him, but was left dying from an unexpected poisoned kiss. He ordered her parents to catch her to prevent her from becoming worse.

The Doctor tried to reason with the crew of the Teselecta to leave River alone instead of capturing her. He learnt that the Silence wasn't a species, but a religion that feared having "silence fall" when the "first question" was asked. Melody, learning she was in fact River, had a change of heart and used her remaining regenerations to bring him back. The Doctor left River in the "best hospital in the universe" to be treated, leaving her a diary to begin recording their adventures. Unbeknownst to his companions, the Doctor learned of his death from downloads taken from the Teselecta. (DW: Let's Kill Hitler)

Marching forward
Seeing a cry for help on his psychic paper, the Doctor went to the message's sender, a young boy named George. Learning the monsters George feared were real, the Doctor investigated his origins. This led to George's father Alex and him being sucked into a doll house in the cupboard. It held Peg Dolls who had turned Amy into one of them while chasing Rory. The Doctor realised George was an alien brought to Alex and his wife as they could not have kids; the doll house was where George put all his fears, but they were out of control. The Doctor forced George to face his fears and escaped the doll house with Amy, Rory, and Alex. (DW: Night Terrors)

The Doctor decided his friends needed some time off from their adventures and took them to the second most popular vacation spot in the universe, Apalapucia. Amy accidentally admitted herself into the Two Streams Facility for Chen-7, lethal to the Doctor, but harmless to humans. The Doctor accidentally locked onto Amy's timestream thirty-six years later, and had to deal with her hostile older self to rescue her younger self. He left the older Amy behind, erasing her timestream and replacing it with the past Amy. The Doctor again faced the rage of Rory, who felt he was becoming like the Doctor when it came to difficult decisions. (DW: The Girl Who Waited)

After the TARDIS collided with a Rutan ship in the 13th century, the Rutan ship crashed on the future site of the Houses of Parliament, placing them in stasis until 1605, when it sent a distress call. The TARDIS responded and landed in London, where close proximity to the still-crashed ship caused dimensional lesions throughout the city. With the town crier, Geoffrey Plum, the Doctor closed the lesions and infiltrated the ranks of the Gunpowder Plotters, led by Robert Catesby and with the Rutan Elizabeth Winters in its ranks. The Doctor learnt Winters would use the destruction of Parliament and death of King James I to allow her ship to take off. The Doctor put Parliament in Earth's orbit momentarily, allowing the Rutan ship to take off. The Sontarans and Rutans arrived in Parliament fighting over two missing doomsday weapons programmed to destroy the Sontaran race. The Doctor found the weapons and reprogrammed one of them to target the Rutan Host, resulting in a stalemate in the Rutan-Sontaran War. Returning Parliament to its rightful place, he left the plotter Guy Fawkes inside a locked room filled with gunpowder, where King James' men came to arrest him. (VG: The Gunpowder Plot)

Farewells to Rory and Amy
The Doctor was puzzled when the TARDIS arrived in an alien structure based on a 1980s Earth hotel. He found an imprisoned creature feeding off the faith of those trapped with it after they found the room that contained their greatest fear. He failed to save most of the others trapped with them. Amy was next on the creature's menu as her faith in him was strong. To save her, the Doctor broke Amy's childish faith in her "Raggedy Doctor". This allowed the creature to die as it had long wished. Realising his travels were becoming too dangerous for Amy and Rory, the Doctor returned them home. The Doctor made Amy a promise; tell River her parents want her to visit. (DW: The God Complex)

Prolonging the inevitable
Knowing his death was a fixed point in time, the Doctor began a "farewell tour," which lasted nearly two centuries. He participated in many events, "waving" at Amy and Rory throughout history. Some of these escapades included being painted and then imprisoned in the Tower of London, only to escape via a hot air balloon; taking part in a breakout from a World War II POW camp, but quickly being recaptured; and appearing in a Laurel and Hardy film. He also had adventures with River Song, including a trip to Easter Island, where he was adored and meeting "Jim the Fish". (DW: The Impossible Astronaut) He paid a call on Craig Owens. Craig and Sophie had had a son, Alfie. The Doctor noticed power fluctuation. With Craig, he found six Cybermen rebuilding their ranks by converting kidnapped people with spare parts and using Cybermats to drain the city's power. Although Craig nearly became their new Cyber-Controller, his love for his son made the Cybermen overload. The Doctor used the last of his free time to repair damages to Craig's home. He also took some TARDIS coloured envelopes and said his last goodbye. As he walked towards the TARDIS, he saw three children and briefly spoke to them. At the Luna University, in the 52nd century, River would read that the Doctor seemed "happy, but sad." (DW: Closing Time)

Marriage
Before going to his death, the Doctor wanted to know why. The Silence wanted him dead, fearing he would answer a question only he knew the answer to: "Doctor Who?" The captain of the Teselecta asked if there was anything he could do to help; the Doctor was miniaturised with the TARDIS and taken into it, while the Teslecta took on his appearance. At Lake Silencio, Utah, on April 22, 2011 at 5:02 PM, River Song in an astronaut suit emerged from the lake. Instead of shooting, River emptied the suit's weapon system. This caused time to colapse, making every time period happen all at once, the date and time always 22 April 2011, 5:02 P.M. After being brought to the headquarters of the resistance, Area 52, the Doctor married River and revealed the charade. Realising that she would "kill" the Teselecta, and not the real Doctor, River Song kissed him. Time reverted to Lake Silencio, Utah April 22, 2011, 5:02 P.M and resumed; every living thing in the Universe was saved, and River shot the Teselecta. After his fake Viking funeral, the Doctor visited Dorium and itold him he would return to the shadows and visit his wife often. (DW: The Wedding of River Song)

Undated/unchronicled events

 * There are several gaps in which a number of adventures may have happened:
 * Between Rory's death (DW: Cold Blood) and visiting Planet One. (DW: The Pandorica Opens)
 * The Doctor and Amy visited Arcadia, Space Florida and the Trojan Gardens during this time. (DW: Vincent and the Doctor, The Big Bang)
 * While on his own, the Doctor met his old friend Albert Einstein, who was trying to make a time machine. He returned Albert to normal after a chemical had made him turn into an Ood. (DW: Death is the Only Answer)
 * Took River Song to Darillium to see the Singing Towers. (DW: Last Night)
 * Some time after visiting Smyslov 3 for the first time, but chronologically earlier, the Doctor's TARDIS caused a power failure in Tanik's Lexitanium and sabotaged his missiles. (WC: Wish You Were Here)

Personality
The eleventh incarnation was highly energetic and very lively. He was brash, eccentric and very alien. He was resourceful and quick thinking, able to spin things to his point of view, and find positive outlooks in negative situations. (DW: The Eleventh Hour) When things looked bleakest, he liked to have those around him focus on the positives to come should they survive. (DW: A Christmas Carol)

When thinking about a problem, he blocked out all outside distractions. He told Amy "you're dying shut up" so he could concentrate on working out how to save her. (DW: Flesh and Stone)

Much like his second incarnation, he showed a childlike recklessness, but always had a grand scheme behind his actions. He was often smug, occasionally boastful about his feats, knowledge, and reputation. (DW: The Time of Angels) He thought aloud when he was panicking or stressed. (DW: The Pandorica Opens)

This incarnation was arrogant, telling Amy that "time is not the boss of me" (DW: The Time of Angels) and "you don't ever decide what I need to know". (DW: The Beast Below) Unlike the Tenth Doctor, the Eleventh was very hostile to the Daleks, stating they were the worst things in creation and attacking one to provoke it into revealing its true nature. This incarnation did not seem to retain his predecessor's belief that the Daleks could change. (DW: Victory of the Daleks) He still preferred to settle problems through negotiation rather than violence, but could be ruthless. (DW: A Christmas Carol, Day of the Moon)

He was not keen on hiding his emotions, usually making his anger obvious. Unlike his previous incarnation, he wasn't adept at handling romance and reacted awkwardly when Amy Pond or River Song kissed him. (DW: Flesh and Stone, Day of the Moon) This Doctor was also quite uncomfortable with his TARDIS calling itself "Sexy", which he called it in private. (DW: The Doctor's Wife)

He seemed to have resolved much of the survivor's guilt of his ninth and tenth incarnations, referring to the Last Great Time War as a "bad day". (DW: The Beast Below) When he interrogated Alaya, the Eleventh implied some guilt remained with him, though not as much as in his previous two lives. (DW: The Hungry Earth) In a bubble universe, the Doctor was given a ray of hope that he wasn't the Last of the Time Lords. But, when it turned out that he was indeed the last, he began to cry. (DW: The Doctor's Wife)

This incarnation was selfless, willing to sacrifice himself for his friends or for the greater good. He closed the cracks in time although he knew he would end up on the wrong side and be erased from history. (DW: The Big Bang) Despite this he did not believe he was a good man. His arrogance was a facade to hide his insecurities. He felt guilty over ruining his companions' lives. (DW: Let's Kill Hitler, The God Complex)

While initially shocked by River's romantic advances, (DW: Day of the Moon) he enjoyed them. When the Doctor married her, he kissed her passionately, albeit whilst inside the Teselecta. (DW: The Wedding of River Song)

Habits and quirks
The eleventh Doctor had incredible eyesight and an eidetic memory. He could scan an entire scene and pick out tiny details. He demanded his companions do the same. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, The Beast Below, A Christmas Carol) He was capable of Sherlock Holmes-like feats of extrapolation, reconstructing Kazran Sardick's childhood from the arrangement of his furniture. (DW: A Christmas Carol, Let's Kill Hitler)

He had a penchant for talking with his hands and calculated situations with hand gestures. (DW: Flesh and Stone) He spun in circles when walking if showing off or needing time to think. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, The Vampires of Venice, Night Terrors) Occasionally, he said something in the wrong manner. (DW: The Time of Angels, The Vampires of Venice) He rambled, making rapid amendments to his speech, sometimes sounding like he was talking nonsense. (DW: The Time of Angels, The Vampires of Venice, A Christmas Carol, The Almost People, A Good Man Goes to War, Night Terrors)

The Doctor liked fish custard (DW: The Eleventh Hour) and Jammie Dodgers, (DW: Victory of the Daleks, The Impossible Astronaut) but disliked wine. (DW: The Lodger, The Impossible Astronaut) He also grew fond of hats, included a top hat (NSA: Paradox Lost), a fez (DW: The Big Bang, A Christmas Carol, The Impossible Astronaut, Death is the Only Answer), and a Stetson. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut, Closing Time) He wore bowties, often insisting "bowties are cool", usually when Amy recommended getting rid of it. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, Vincent and the Doctor, The Lodger, A Good Man Goes to War) He referred to things as "cool", usually generally unpopular things. Amongst them were his bow ties, fezzes (DW: The Big Bang), Stetsons (DW: The Impossible Astronaut), Apollo technology (DW: Day of the Moon), bunk beds (DW: The Doctor's Wife) and glasses. (DW: The Girl Who Waited)

Like his predecessor's repetition of the word "What" when confused, the Eleventh Doctor would repeat "No" if something went horribly wrong, or say it as a warning. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, Victory of the Daleks, Vincent and the Doctor, Night Terrors, The Wedding of River Song) He also displayed a liking for the word "Geronimo," often exclaiming it when diving into a new or unexpected situation, although he also used it on one occasion as a general word of approval. (DW: The End of Time, The Eleventh Hour, The Beast Below, The Big Bang, The Wedding of River Song) {C Occasionally, the Doctor would tease or flirt with River Song, much to the annoyance or pleasure of the other. (DW: The Time of Angels, Flesh and Stone, The Big Bang, The Impossible Astronaut, Day of the Moon, Let's Kill Hitler, The Wedding of River Song) This Doctor was interested in knitting. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut, The Wedding of River Song)

He had a habit of referring to his companions by surname, much as his first incarnation had with Ian Chesterton, though this was a sign of affection rather than annoyance. (DW: The Big Bang, A Christmas Carol, The Impossible Astronaut, SJA: Death of the Doctor)

When facing a personal problem, a sense of honour or when seeing a situation as too dangerous for his companions, the Doctor would demand they return to the TARDIS or leave them in the safest place possible. At times, he would trick them into doing so through a fool's errand or have someone else return them home. (DW: Victory of the Daleks, The Time of Angels, The Vampires of Venice, The Doctor's Wife, A Good Man Goes to War)

The Eleventh Doctor still could analyse objects by taste or smell. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, The Time of Angels, The Hungry Earth, Day of the Moon) Like his previous and Fourth incarnations, he took random objects from his pockets to assist him in a situation. (DW: Victory of the Daleks, The Vampires of Venice, The Hungry Earth, Cold Blood) He still relied on his psychic paper, though to a lesser extent than his previous incarnation.

He used his telepathic powers occasionally. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, The Lodger, The Big Bang) Much like his previous incarnation, he felt his age when it took him longer times to figure things out. (DW: Vincent and the Doctor)

Despite his dislike of looking back on his previous lives, the eleventh was perfectly comfortable with mementos of his past. (DW: Vincent and the Doctor, SJA: Death of the Doctor, VG: TARDIS) Another jarring aspect of this Doctor was his blatant self-loathing. He claimed that no one else in the Universe hated him as much he hated himself, (DW: Amy's Choice) and that he did not believe he was a good man. (DW: A Good Man Goes to War) He would go on about how he could be vain and cause people harm. (DW: The God Complex, Closing Time)

The Doctor had a habit of using analogies of what higher technology or people could be compared to and then changing his mind. (DW: Flesh and Stone, The Vampires of Venice, Amy's Choice, The Hungry Earth, The Big Bang, Space, The Doctor's Wife, The Girl Who Waited)

Appearance
This incarnation had long, dark hair which initially made him believe himself female. He confirmed that he wasn't by his Adam’s apple, but was annoyed he was not ginger. He had a large chin and green eyes. His comment on his nose was that he'd had worse. (DW: The End of Time)

Clothes
The eleventh incarnation stole his clothing from the staff room of a hospital. The outfit consisted of a plain brown tweed jacket with elbow patches, a dress shirt, a bow tie, braces, a gold wrist watch, rolled up navy-blue trousers and black boots. He would change the colour of his shirt, bow tie and braces from burgundy to blue. (DW: The Eleventh Hour)


 * Since he only stole this initial outfit from Royal Leadworth Hospital, he presumably had other similar clothes in the TARDIS wardrobe.

His second jacket was checked (DW: Victory of the Daleks, The Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone) though he lost it while escaping from Weeping Angels aboard the Byzantium. (DW: Flesh and Stone) After that he resumed wearing his first jacket. (DW: The Vampires of Venice)

This Doctor has a fondness for hats. While in the National Museum, the Doctor found a fez he liked a lot. It was later removed by Amy and destroyed by River Song. He looked for another. (DW: The Big Bang, DW: The Impossible Astronaut) He acquired a Stetson hat from Craig Owens in Closing Time. He was last seen wearing it inside the Teselecta. (DW: The Wedding of River Song). He wore a top hat at least twice, once at Amy and Rory's wedding, (DW: The Big Bang) once after having been poisoned by River. (DW: Let's Kill Hitler).

While attending Amy and Rory's wedding, the Doctor wore a formal tailcoat with a white bow tie, white scarf, and a black top hat. (DW: The Big Bang)

While travelling with the married couple, the Doctor wore a new tweed jacket with a faint striped pattern, a checked shirt with a burgundy bowtie and braces, new black trousers and new boots. He would vary the design of his shirt and bow tie. While visting Abigail Pettigrew every Christmas Eve, he wore a multitude of different outfits, including a long multicoloured scarf similar to ones worn by his fourth incarnation, a white tuxedo and black tie while visting California in 1952 and a fez on a trip to Egypt. (DW: A Christmas Carol)

During his search for Melody Pond and often afterward, he exchanged his tweed jacket for a dark-green greatcoat. (DW: Let's Kill Hitler, The Girl Who Waited, Closing Time, The Wedding of River Song)

This incarnation wore size 10 shoes, and claimed they were quite wide. (DW: The Rebel Flesh)

While he was poisoned by River, he exchanged his Sonic screwdriver for a Sonic cane. (DW: Let's Kill Hitler)

Trivia

 * The Eleventh Doctor is the first incarnation of the Doctor since the First to travel with family members in his TARDIS. Though he was long unaware of it, Amy and Rory were his in-laws and River his wife.

Behind the scenes

 * The Matt Smith era has more Doctor Who video games than any other Doctor, a total of ten (counting the five Adventure Games).
 * Benedict Cumberbatch (star of Sherlock, another show by Steven Moffat) was rumoured to have been offered the role of the eleventh incarnation and to have turned down the role. However, he denied this. Coincidentally Matt Smith auditioned for Sherlock for the role of John Watson but was rejected for being "more of a Sherlock Holmes." That audition ended up causing Smith to be a prime candidate for the eleventh incarnation.
 * While the Eleventh Doctor is the second Doctor to speak in an estuary accent, Matt Smith is the first actor to play the Doctor who actually has a natural estuary accent, as David Tennant's natural accent is Scottish and he faked an estuary accent to play the Doctor.
 * Matt Smith has made several public statements — as on The Jonathan Ross Show and in the question-and-answer session following the New York theatrical premiere of The Eleventh Hour — taking credit for the tweed jacket, braces and bow tie that his incarnation eventually wore. He has also relayed that there was some reluctance from Steven Moffat and other top executives to the bow tie in particular, but that it nevertheless "sat right" with his performance. Smith's influence — according to CON: Call Me the Doctor and a mid-April 2010 appearance on Fox Broadcasting Company's Strategy Room — was the character of Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones, Jr., as he was most often clothed on the campus of Barnett College.
 * When queried about the exact nature of the bow tie, Karen Gillan told the audience of the 2 April 2010 edition of the CBBC programme, Laugh Out Loud, that Smith's bow tie wasn't a "proper" bow tie, but instead a pre-tied dicky bow. This can be confirmed by carefully watching him put on the tie in The Eleventh Hour, although the action is somewhat obscured by the Atraxi projection.
 * One clothing retailer reported that in the month following the airing of DW: The Eleventh Hour, in which the Doctor declared that "bow ties are cool," its bow tie sales increased by 94%.
