Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) was king of Macedon (336-323 BC) and one of the most successful Greek military commanders in history. The Doctor claimed to have met Alexander the Great. (DW: Robot)


 * It is possible that the Doctor met Alexander the Great in the same adventure that he met Pyrrho, as the two were contemporaries.

Behind the scenes
In 1964 a six-episode story entitled Farewell Great Macedon was written for the First Doctor. It was never produced (the script would be published in book form in 2009). It's possible the meeting referenced in Robot could be this unproduced adventure.
