Second Doctor

Though outwardly warm, bumbling and clownish, the Second Doctor also had a darker, more cunning aspect to his personality — one which he usually kept hidden in order to carry out his plans. Regenerating when his first incarnation gave in to old age and fatigue following his fight with the Cybermen, this new incarnation was the product of the Doctor's first regeneration.

He travelled with a number of companions, starting with his previous incarnation's last companions, Ben Jackson and Polly Wright, before adding Highland Scot Jamie McCrimmon to the TARDIS. After a while, Ben and Polly left, to be replaced by Victoria Waterfield, a woman orphaned by the Daleks. In time, she too left, and the Doctor made a new friend in the mentally gifted Zoe Heriot. At some point, he also travelled with his grandchildren, John and Gillian Who.

His adventures came to an end when he called on his people for help with the evil machinations of the War Lords. Though the Time Lords did indeed render assistance, they also condemned him to exile on Earth and a new body for breaking their non-interference policy many times over. The Celestial Intervention Agency was able to stay the execution of this sentence for a while in exchange for the Doctor providing his services to them. During these later years of his life, the Second Doctor variously carried out covert operations for the CIA and lived in luxury and fame in the heart of 1960s London. Eventually, though, Time Lord justice reasserted itself, and the Doctor was indeed forced to regenerate into his third body.

A day to come
When the First Doctor was a young boy studying at the Time Lord Academy, Borusa gave him a lecture on regeneration, telling him he would "walk into a storm and a stranger [would] walk back out, and that [the] stranger [would] be [him]." (PROSE: The Day of the Doctor)

During a duel with a Soul Pirate, the First Doctor had his left hand severed, but the fact that the heated blade also cauterised the severance prevented the Doctor from needing to regenerate. When haggling for a price on a new hand, the Xing surgeon Aldridge suggested the First Doctor should simply regenerate. During the operation to get the replacement attached, the Doctor twice came close to regenerating. (PROSE: A Big Hand for the Doctor)

While observing the Ashtallans on Ashtallah, the First Doctor pondered on the nature of his regeneration. (AUDIO: The Invention of Death)

When returned to the TARDIS several hours after vanishing in front of Steven and Vicki, (TV: The Three Doctors) the First Doctor had only vague memories of his experiences in the interim, which involved "a clown". (PROSE: The Empire of Glass)

Shortly after he met Katarina, the First Doctor began to feel he was nearing the end of his life. (PROSE: Scribbles in Chalk) Several months later, while in ancient Egypt, the hot weather bearing down on him caused him to consider that he was no longer as young as he once was, or "would be again". (PROSE: The Mutation of Time)

While contemplating his sacrifice to satisfy the Web of Time, the First Doctor reflected on regeneration, and the person he could become when he regenerated. (AUDIO: Men of War)

(PROSE: Ten Little Aliens) After he was joined in his travels by Ben Jackson and Polly Wright, (TV: The Smugglers) the First Doctor was aware that his regeneration was nearing. (PROSE: Ten Little Aliens, Five Card Draw) Throughout all this time, however, he resisted and suppressed the regeneration process. (PROSE: Twice Upon a Time)

When the First Doctor learned that he was diverted from the South Pole by "forces from the future" to stop him from becoming an incarnation that would play a key role in a future conflict, he was informed by the Player that the incarnation in the conflict would not be his immediate successor. (AUDIO: The Plague of Dreams)

Shortly before his regeneration, the First Doctor was told of "a few false starts" before he became the Twelfth Doctor. (TV: Twice Upon a Time)

Post-regeneration
After having the "stuffing knocked out of him" fighting the Cybermen in Antarctica in December 1986, (COMIC: Blood and Ice) and after coming to terms with the change, (TV: Twice Upon a Time) the Doctor regenerated on the floor of his TARDIS, his appearance changing into that of a much younger man. (TV: The Tenth Planet) After the regeneration, which he referred to as a "renewal", was completed, the new Doctor found himself suspected as an impostor by Ben, this being due to the Doctor failing to inform his companions of the Time Lord's ability to regenerate, while Polly was more ready to believe that he was the same Doctor.

Before he had time to recover, the TARDIS landed on Vulcan, where the Doctor witnessed the murder of an Earth examiner sent to check on the human colony. Posing as the examiner, the Doctor tried to stop the colony's scientist, Lesterson, from reactivating three captured Daleks, but failed. Sceptical about the apparent reformed Daleks serving the colony, the Doctor desperately tried to convince the humans that they were using their colony to produce new Daleks. By the time Lesterson uncovered the truth, it was too late: Thousands of Daleks, now showing their true colours, attacked the colony and killed many colonists. The Doctor and his companions remained to fight alongside the colonists, with the Doctor destroying his foes by using their power against them, and exposing security head Bragen as the murder of the examiner. (TV: The Power of the Daleks)

Immediately after leaving Vulcan, the Doctor, Ben and Polly briefly encountered a "ghost" in the TARDIS, while the Doctor was also avoiding Polly's questions about possibly meeting the Daleks again, (AUDIO: The Light at the End) as he was mourning the loss of his signet ring, until he decided it was replaceable. (COMIC: The Chameleon Factor) Soon after regenerating, the Doctor met Lilith on the Panjistri homeworld, when the Timewyrm had been recuperating in his mind since his regeneration.

Shaken after watching the deaths of the rebels, the Doctor and his companions shut down the machines controlling the Masters' life processes. (PROSE: The Dream Masters)

The trio then visited a planet where blonde-haired people were considered inferior to those with dark hair. The Doctor defended the blonde-haired people to the ruler of the planet, who put them through the Tests of Trefus, which they won and were accepted into society. (COMIC: The Tests of Trefus) On his own, the Doctor played a part in preventing the extinction of the Tryods. (PROSE: The Word of Asiries)

After landing on an Arcturian spaceship under the impression it was hostile, the Doctor was greeted by a peaceful species from Arcturus, who had fled from their own planet after losing the atmosphere.

(PROSE: Only a Matter of Time)

The Doctor took Ben and Polly to the idyllic planet Harmony. However, he learnt the population were harvesting visitors for food as the planet's animals had all died out.

(COMIC: World Without Night)

The Doctor, Ben and Polly stopped an elemental force called Saint Nick from feeding on the energy of those who believed in Christmas. (PROSE: The Feast)

The Doctor, Ben and Polly then encountered Cat-People and Euterpians in 1994, where Polly's latent psychic powers were nearly used to trap Earth's essence in a small ball before the Doctor trapped one Euterpian in a time loop and tricked the other into destroying itself by triggering its powerful song inside the TARDIS. (PROSE: Invasion of the Cat-People)

The TARDIS crew met Draconians, Alpha Centaurans, and Venusians in a bar, before a strange signal drew them to the Hotel Galaxian, where the Doctor had to prevent the Selachians getting their hands on a lethal computer program that could turn any existing computer system into a weapon against its assigned target. (PROSE: The Murder Game)

On holiday in Hollywood in 1947, the Doctor's investigation into the death of his old acquaintance, Harold Reitman, led to the discovery that producer Leonard De Sande was working with an alien race he called the Selyoids, his plans essentially bringing peace to the world at the cost of making everyone blindly devoted to the Selyoids. Polly briefly fell under the Selyoids' influence, but the Doctor and Ben were able to help her realise what she had become. (PROSE: Dying in the Sun)

The Doctor and his companions next stopped off in San Francisco in 1967, where they joined the search for Jessica Willamy's boyfriend, Denny Glass, and discovered he had been recruited by a shadow government known as the Combine, who were making and spreading Blue Moonbeams, a more dangerous drug than LSD. (PROSE: Wonderland)

The Doctor travelled to Draconia during the reign of the Fifteenth Emperor. He cured a plague from space and was made a noble of Draconia for his actions. (TV: Frontier in Space; PROSE: The Dark Path)

Joined by Jamie
Arriving in Scotland after the Battle of Culloden in 1746, the Doctor, Ben and Polly met young Highlander Jamie McCrimmon. After exposing Solicitor Grey as a slave trader, they invited him to come with them in the TARDIS, which he accepted. (TV: The Highlanders)

With Jamie now in tow, they next landed in the lost city of Atlantis, where the Doctor met Professor Zaroff, a well renowned scientist who had created a way to harness plankton into edible food. The Atlantians let him stay under the promise that he would raise their city from the sea. The Doctor realised this plan would destroy the Earth and tried to convince their leaders, to no avail. They managed to foil Zaroff's plan by flooding the city, and thereby saved the Earth. (TV: The Underwater Menace)

Intending to reach Mars the Doctor, instead, landed the TARDIS on the Moon. After enjoying the lack of gravity, the TARDIS crew discovered a giant Moonbase in the next valley. In the Moonbase, they met the base’s commander Hobson, who showed the Doctor and Ben the Gravitron, a giant gravity device used to control the weather on Earth. He also told them the Moonbase was under quarantine because a new disease had broken out among the crew. After discovering the Cybermen were in the base, Hobson gave the Doctor and his friends 24 hours to find the cause of the disease. The Doctor eventually realised that the Moonbase's sugar supplies had been contaminated by the Cybermen, which was the source of the disease.

After a Cyberman appeared, the Doctor and Moonbase crew were taken hostage in the Gravitron room, and the Doctor discovered that the Cybermen’s aim was to use controlled humans to operate the Gravitron and disrupt the weather on Earth. However, the Cybermen were soon overthrown by the Doctor’s companions and their ‘Polly Cocktail’. The controlled humans were then removed and locked in the sick bay. However, soon more Cybermen advanced, en masse towards the Moonbase from across the Moon. To stop them, the Doctor suggested the Gravitorn be lowered so it aimed onto the Moon’s surface, and the Cybermen were deflected, harmlessly, off into deep space. Making a quick exit and back in the TARDIS with his friends, the Doctor decided to use his time scanner to see where they might go next; the screen showed a giant crab’s claw… (TV: The Moonbase)

The travellers then encountered the Macra on an Earth colony. (TV: The Macra Terror)

When Ben, Polly and Jamie accidently unleashed a swarm of creatures from the Time Vortex with a Ouija Board in another control room, the Doctor exorcised the creatures from Jamie with a "magical spell" from a Gallifreyan book and banished them with the TARDIS' telepathic circuits. (PROSE: Something at the Door)

The Doctor decided to teach Ben and Polly how to pilot the TARDIS, but the TARDIS faltered in the vortex and deposited them in New Houston, a place the Doctor had visited with Dodo Chaplet. When he realised that his old friend, Meg Carvossa, had been murdered, he promptly investigated it, but soon discovered that she wasn't dead. (AUDIO: The Yes Men)

After landing on a planet where human colonists had settled in a fictional recreation of an English village during the Second World War to live in peace away from Earth, the Doctor and his companions were all hypnotised by, who had taken control of the village to perform an experiment of conflict. The Doctor became the head of the Home Guard, Polly and Jamie thought they were married, and Ben was made a sailor coming back from the war. The Doctor, however, immersed himself too deep in the role and started to make contact with the aliens to reach a peaceful solution, proving his good faith by provided them with all information regarding the village's defence system.

The Master tried to stop him by having his companions turn against him, but he was unable to do so because, as a consequence of the Doctor's actions, the aliens attacked earlier than he anticipated. Cuffed in his office, the Doctor was released by Ben, who regained his memory, and he too managed to regain his own. As the Master escaped in his TARDIS, with the intent of returning to look on the results of the conflict, the Doctor was able to stop the fight and have the two groups come to a ceasefire.

(AUDIO: The Mouthless Dead)

The Doctor was concerned when the TARDIS crashed into something and it shoved them back in time by thirty-five years. When he realised that the Earth they were on was greying and lifeless, he explained to Polly that something was sapping the energy from the Earth. He encountered the Vist and theorised that they saw time like humans saw space. He tried to persuade the Vist that they could lock off a section of time and make people pay a toll for living in that time. He tricked them into going back in time to the Big Bang and they blinked out of existence. (AUDIO: The Forbidden Time)

After landing near the Galacti-bank, the TARDIS got impounded for not paying a parking ticket. Soon after, the Selachians attacked the bank looking for something.

They discovered that the TARDIS had been taken by the Germans but managed to get it back. The Doctor worked out that Tatiana Kregki was impersonating Polly, but despite this, the TARDIS team still helped her stand up to Nadia. (AUDIO: The Night Witches)

The Doctor landed the TARDIS on a strange asteroid in an underground city that he thought abandoned. To avoid being arrested by Chatura Sharma, he posed as an Earth Examiner to help in investigating their troubles and learned that what was being mined on the planet was an ingredient for a weapon. He thought there was something living on the asteroid that didn't want the humans there, and after communicating with it, he was kidnapped. The Doctor and his friends were taken to a cell deep under water, where he learnt that the reason the creatures creatures were contacting the humans was because they had foreseen a catastrophe. (AUDIO: The Outliers)

Planning to take Ben and Polly home, the Doctor landed the TARDIS in the 1860s instead of the 1960s. Shortly after, the TARDIS disappeared. but the Doctor traced it to Josiah Morton's museum.

Looking after Victoria
After the TARDIS was stolen at the behest of the Daleks, the Doctor and Jamie were lured by Edward Waterfield who transported them back to 2 June 1866. Waterfield and his colleague Theodore Maxtible recruited the Doctor to help their experiment to isolate the Human Factor, with Waterfield's daughter Victoria being held hostage by the Daleks. Using Jamie as an unwilling subject, the Doctor successfully identified the factor and implanted it into three Daleks who he named Alpha, Beta and Omega. With the experiment a success, the group was forced to travel to the Dalek City on Skaro where the Doctor confronted the Dalek Emperor. The Emperor revealed they'd tricked the Doctor into identifying the Dalek Factor to spread on humans and the Doctor in turn tricked the Daleks into believing he'd been converted by the Dalek Factor. With the three humanised Daleks causing unrest, the Doctor suggested that all Daleks be sent through a Dalek Factor conversion arch, having switched it to pass on the Human Factor instead. This instigated a civil war on Skaro, during which Edward was killed saving the Doctor from a Black Dalek. Promising to look after his daughter, the Doctor and Jamie left with Victoria, believing the Daleks had met their "final end". (TV: The Evil of the Daleks)

With Jamie and Victoria alongside him, the Doctor aided an archaeological team on Telos in opening a Cyber-tomb.

(PROSE: The Age of Ambition)

When the TARDIS landed in Sumatra, the travellers found the Great Space Elevator, a method of reaching a space station without using rockets, and arrived just as the space station lost power. When the Doctor found a way to get to the space station to discover the cause of the problem, the crew claimed that there was nothing wrong, but a member of the crew told the Doctor that the crew was infected by static electricity, which allowed the humans to be conductive. (AUDIO: The Great Space Elevator)

When the TARDIS landed in a museum, the Doctor, Jamie and Victoria were attacked by robotic yetis, but Jamie was able to gain control of them with a pyramid of glowing orbs. (PROSE: Dr. Second)

(PROSE: The Lost)

The Doctor took Jamie and Victoria to an alien arena to watch a fight between soldiers and a dragon.

(PROSE: Valley of Dragons)

After escaping the destruction of a civilisation in the Uranium Universe, (COMIC: Atoms Infinite) the Doctor and Jamie were taken prisoner by the Cogwens on Pendant, but they were rescued by Victoria and a gang of outcasts, just in time for the Doctor to stop the Cogwens from stealing the TARDIS. (PROSE: World of Ice)

Attempting to bypass the anti-theft protocols in the TARDIS that allegedly prevented him from controlling the TARDIS himself, the Doctor accidentally disabled so many security protocols that the ship materialised in a pocket dimension containing the displaced town of Lychburg. The pocket reality prevented the Doctor, Jamie and Victoria from returning to the TARDIS. Determining what they were dealing with, the Doctor unintentionally disrupted the control of the entity manipulating the pocket dimension when a doctor who was trying to plant a control device in the Doctor's neck accidentally stabbed himself in the gut. After the Doctor tracked the controlling entity to a prototype TARDIS, Jamie killed the controller, the last Gallifreyan Woprat in existence, and unintentionally caused the final collapse of the pocket dimension. The Doctor then regained access to the TARDIS when someone modified the dimensional settings from inside the ship, but this gave him time to implement a plan and evacuate Lychburg's entire population into the TARDIS and take them to safety once the pocket dimension collapsed. (PROSE: Heart of TARDIS)

On Earth, the Doctor fought against the Robot Yeti and the Great Intelligence in the Himalayas, (TV: The Abominable Snowmen) and returned to Earth again in a new Ice Age, and discovered Ice Warriors buried in the ice. (TV: The Ice Warriors)

Whilst Jamie slept in the TARDIS, the Doctor took Victoria to a pub, where he annoyed locals with his tales of Saint Nicholas. When sailors from Bari arrived, the Doctor got them drunk, snuck onto their ship and retrieved the bones of Saint Nicholas, which they had just stolen, before burying them in the North Pole. (PROSE: Saint Nicholas's Bones)

The Doctor set the TARDIS controls for both his friend William Shakespeare's house in Stratford and the Pan-Galactic Games on Alpha Centauri, as Victoria had wanted to see how her ancestors had lived in the late 16th century and Jamie had wanted some excitement and spectacle, reasoning that he stood a fifty-fifty chance of arriving at one or the other. Instead, to their disappointment, they materialised in Australia in 2018. The Doctor briefly wondered if something was causing the TARDIS to keep coming back to Earth, but dismissed the thought. (PROSE: Timewyrm: Apocalypse) The Doctor was drawn into a plan to impersonate his double, Ramón Salamander, and uncover his plans to become dictator of Earth.

They encountered the war-like Veltrochni and Koschei, an old friend of the Doctor's from Gallifrey, travelling with Ailla. However, the temptation posed by the Darkheart device proved too much for Koschei, and the revelation that his companion Ailla was a spy destroyed the last traces of good in him. After he proclaimed himself "the Master", the Doctor had to trap him in a black hole. (PROSE: The Dark Path)

After a holiday in Grasmere, (PROSE: The Hollow Men) the Doctor, Jamie and Victoria travelled to Venus, where the Doctor learned Venusian aikido (AUDIO: Voyage to Venus) from "a many-armed glowing-eyed being in a misty cavern". (PROSE: Endgame)

The Second Doctor was taken out of his timezone by the Father of Time to partake in "the Final Test". He was brought to a TARDIS control console room from his future alongside his third, fourth, fifth and sixth incarnations, and told that Time had disassembled the control console and set the TARDIS on a course for the heart of the sun, with the Doctors' only hope being to reassemble the control console.

As the TARDIS escaped the sun, the Father of Time congratulated the Doctor and sent them back to their own times. (COMIC: The Test of Time)

The Second Doctor was summoned by his first incarnation, who required the aid of one of his future incarnations to escape a castle in medieval England, where he had been entrapped by knights thinking he was holding Lady Mary hostage in his TARDIS.

Shortly after meeting for tea with his other incarnations to celebrate in the Under Gallery, (PROSE: The Day of the Doctor) the Second Doctor lost all memory of the events due to the timelines not being synchronised. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)

Infiltrating the Blenhim ranks, the Doctor witnessed the Blenhim forces destroy every planet that refused to submit to their domination, and challenged the head Blenhim for the rule of the army.

With Jamie put under a "magic spell", (PROSE: The Two Doctors) the CIA sent him and the Doctor to persuade Joinson Dastari to stop Professors Kartz and Reimer's experiments with time travel at the Space Station Camera, (PROSE: A Brief History of Time Lords) but Dastari and his augmented Androgum, Chessene, had planned to kidnap the Time Lord emissary all along, partnering up with the Sontarans to steal the secret of time travel from the Time Lords' genetic makeup. The Sontarans slaughtered the station and the Doctor's death was faked to hide his kidnapping and seclusion in a hacienda near Seville.

Jamie escaped the massacre and reported everything to the Sixth Doctor and Peri Brown when they discovered him. The Second Doctor was transformed into an Androgum by Dastari and joined Shockeye for food at the Las Cadenas restaurant in Seville, but, because the operation was incomplete, the effect was only temporary. When Dastari and Chessene brought the Second Doctor, and his sixth incarnation, back to the hacienda, the Sixth Doctor sabotaged the attempted TARDIS copy, while Chessene regressed back to her Androgum nature. Dastari then freed the Second Doctor upon realising his mistake in augmenting a primitive Androgum, and was shot by Chessene for betraying her, and was then killed when she attempted to flee in the TARDIS copy. The Second Doctor used his Stattenheim remote control to return his TARDIS to him, and he and Jamie left the hacienda in the TARDIS. (TV: The Two Doctors)

Seeking to relax, the Doctor and Jamie travelled to Helicon Prime, and stumbled across a set of murders, which the Doctor began to investigate. Investigating the likes of singer Mindy Voir and the ambassador Dromeo, Jamie was sent to the ambassador's room and reported back that he and Voir had assisted Dromeo with killing two of his accomplices, due to them being the last ones to know the "secret of the Fennus treasure". The Doctor recalled the story of the Fennus colony as a rich and prosperous one that was forced to abandon their place when their planet was dying.

After the Doctor gained one of Voir's pendants by asking for an autograph, Helicon Prime was sabotaged into becoming dangerously out of its orbit. In the chaos, the Doctor and Jamie saw Dromeo rummage through some rooms looking for the treasure. Confronting him, Dromeo confessed he was a member of the rescue mission for Fennus that was unable to save the colonists, but found out that they saved all their knowledge and power into a lost database. He asked the Doctor to collaborate with him, but the Doctor left Jamie the task of deciding whether to help the ambassador. Jamie refused. In the following confusion, the Doctor managed to set the station back to its orbit, and he and Jamie escaped in the TARDIS. (AUDIO: Helicon Prime)

They later travelled to Earth in 54010 and rescued a tribe of Stone Age humans from a bio-dome. (PROSE: All of Beyond)

When the Fourth Doctor used his TARDIS tuner to begin a temporal meta-collision with his other incarnations, the Second Doctor learnt that Earth was under threat from a pandimensional entity that had trapped his fourth incarnation in his TARDIS. While the Second Doctor argued with his other incarnations, the War Doctor used encoded messages from the Sixth Doctor to stop the invasion before it began, and the Sixth Doctor installed a way to expel the entity from the Fourth Doctor's TARDIS, ending the crisis. (WC: Doctors Assemble!)

As his predecessor had done before him, the Doctor took Jamie back in time to kill a baby destined to grow up into a dictator who would doom the Earth. However, the Doctor was unable to go through with the act, and left. (PROSE: Categorical Imperative)

Working alone
After Jamie was deposited back in the Scottish Highlands, (AUDIO: Helicon Prime) but this time able to keep his memories using a trick the Doctor had taught him, (COMIC: The World Shapers) the Time Lords would send the Doctor on various missions on behalf of the Central Intelligence Agency, with the offer of having his execution sentence dropped and instead simply exile him. However, every time the Doctor returned from his missions, he had his memories erased and was sent off to another assignment under the same deal. (PROSE: Save Yourself)

The Second Doctor acted as a jury member of the First Doctor's trial, (PROSE: The Juror's Story) and helped Jovain Pallis investigate a murder on human colony on Mars, only to discover that Jovain was the murderer. (PROSE: Dust)

The Doctor was trapped in the Determinant by, along with his six other incarnations, but was saved when the Graak defeated the Master, and sacrificed its life force to liberate the trapped Doctors. (GAME: Destiny of the Doctors)

The Doctor joined forces with a gang of teenage outcasts to stop the awakening of a golem, (PROSE: Golem) went undercover at a film production which featured the Cybermen, (PROSE: Scientific Adviser) and spent decades learning the psychic techniques of the Mind Monks of Darron. (PROSE: The Quantum Archangel)

When the CIA needed to cover up their visit to Space Station Camera, it was decided that the Doctor's sentence of exile to Earth was to be enforced. (PROSE: A Brief History of Time Lords) Ultimately, however, the Doctor was able to escape before the Time Lords could enforce a regeneration. (COMIC: The Night Walkers)

Hiding in luxury
Now exiled, the Doctor took up residence in the Carlton Grange Hotel in London, (COMIC: Action in Exile) where he enjoyed considerable luxury and press attention, with people from around the world bringing their problems to him. (COMIC: The Mark of Terror, The Brotherhood, U.F.O.)

Death
While appearing on the game show Explain My Mystery, the Doctor was asked to consider the case of Mr Glenlock-Hogan, a farmer with walking scarecrows. He wasn't able to do so and arranged for an off-camera visit to the farm. Knowing it was a case so preposterous-sounding that it would not be taken seriously by anyone else but him, the Doctor wanted to investigate the matter privately. When he arrived, the scarecrows duly began to walk around. Eventually, they captured and shot him, revealing that they had been animated by the Time Lords in order to carry out the remaining part of his sentence.

The scarecrows dragged him to his waiting TARDIS, where they forced him to regenerate. During the process, the scarecrows programmed the TARDIS for a final flight, (COMIC: The Night Walkers) and edited the Doctor's memory to remove his knowledge of how to work his TARDIS, (TV: Spearhead from Space, The Claws of Axos) restrict what he knew about other alien species (PROSE: The Ambassadors of Death) and events beyond the 1970s, (PROSE: The Devil Goblins from Neptune) and make him think he had been executed at his trial. (PROSE: The Eight Doctors; AUDIO: Legend of the Cybermen, Stage Fright) Just before the Doctor's regeneration ended, his "entire past and future suddenly became clear to him" and, realising what he had done on the Panjistri homeworld, he sent a telepathic warning to his future self. (PROSE: Timewyrm: Apocalypse)

The TARDIS travelled to an English field, where it was found, along with the newly regenerated Doctor, by UNIT. (TV: Spearhead from Space)

Post-mortem
In the Doctor's dream garden, the Second Doctor planted forget-me-nots, in memory of Jamie and Zoe. (PROSE: Into the Silent Land)

When under attack by a space amoeba, the Fourth Doctor briefly turned back into his second incarnation. (COMIC: Timeslip)

When trapped in a dimensionally-unstable pocket universe controlled by Iam and, the Sixth Doctor's morphic print was destabilised, causing him to unwillingly regress back through his previous incarnations as his body sought a stable morphic print. (PROSE: State of Change)

In a bid to detach the Funhouse from the TARDIS in the time vortex, the Sixth Doctor binded the switch that protected the TARDIS' passengers from the changing time fields outside with a string, allowing him to pull it remotely from the limited protection of the Zero Room. As a result, the Doctor immediately began to regress back through his first five incarnations as he made his way back to the console room where, as the First Doctor, he flipped the switch back, restoring himself while trapping the Funhouse in the vortex. (COMIC: Funhouse)

When the Ninth Doctor's Sin-Eater became conscious due to the Doctor's telepathic nature, it mutated to show the Second Doctor's face, among other incarnations, straining against its body. (COMIC: Sin-Eaters)

When the Tenth Doctor was confronted by Es'Cartrss within the TARDIS' Matrix, he summoned the Second Doctor, among his other past incarnations, to use their united memories and willpower to take back control of the Matrix. (COMIC: The Forgotten)

During many failed attempts to duplicate the Tenth Doctor, defective copies of all his past incarnations, including the Second Doctor, were created instead. (COMIC: Breakfast at Tyranny's)

After the Eleventh Doctor was accused of committing deadly crimes against the Overcast, he brooded in the TARDIS for two days, imagining all his previous numbered incarnations, including the Second Doctor, interrogating him over the crimes. When he offered the rational that he always left things better than he found them, they all turned and left him in disgust and disgrace. (COMIC: Pull to Open)

When the Eleventh Doctor was investigating the War Doctor's actions during the Last Great Time War on Lujhimene, he briefly turned into the Second Doctor, alerting him to an ambush from the Then and the Now. (COMIC: Running to Stay Still)

When the Eleventh Doctor entered into the T'keyn Nexus in order to defend himself, Matrix projections of his previous incarnations, including the Second Doctor, appeared inside it to defend themselves as well. When auditor Sondrah accused the Doctor of allowing tragedy to happen, the Second Doctor defended himself by pointing out his inability to interfere with fixed points in time. When the Eleventh Doctor began to deduce Sondrah's true identity, the past Doctors faded away as Oscar Wilde interfered with the Nexus. (COMIC: Dead Man's Hand)

After saving Gallifrey from the Moment at the conclusion of the Last Great Time War, the Eleventh Doctor dreamed of himself standing with all his past incarnation, including the Second Doctor, as he thought about his search for Gallifrey. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)

When he was exposed to energy from a time storm, the Twelfth Doctor degenerated through all of his previous incarnations, including the Second Doctor. (AUDIO: The Lost Magic)

Undated adventures

 * The Second Doctor had an encounter with the Terrible Zodin alongside the Brigadier. (TV: The Five Doctors)
 * River Song was offered "[a] cool place on Telos" by the Second Doctor, but, according to her diary, she "saw right through that". She had his memory wiped with mnemosine recall-wipe vapour so the timeline would remain intact. (GAME: The Eternity Clock)
 * The Second Doctor gave a few lines of credit to Snorglarr on Vortis, to repay a debt a future incarnation owed Snorglarr. (COMIC: The Rise and Fall)
 * The Second Doctor saw the musical Hamilton and had his picture taken by Alice Obiefune when he was near the Eleventh Doctor, with the Tenth Doctor also in close proximity. (COMIC: The Long Con)
 * On a Thursday in the summer of 1966, the Second Doctor visited Andy Warhol to have his face added to a portrait of eleven incarnations of the Doctor. (PROSE: The War of Art; COMIC: The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who)

Alternate timelines
In an alternate timeline created by the Discordia, the Doctor had a passionate romantic relationship with River Song that began in his first incarnation, having married her by his fourth incarnation. In one of their outings, River convinced the Doctor to dress as Ramón Salamander for "fun". (AUDIO: Someone I Once Knew)

When the Cybermen allied with Rassilon to take over history, (COMIC: Supremacy of the Cybermen) they manipulated the encounter at the Moonbase so that the Doctor was partially cyber-converted (COMIC: Prologue: The Second Doctor) and led the Cybermen to their victory. This timeline was eventually unwritten by Rassilon and the Twelfth Doctor. (COMIC: Supremacy of the Cybermen)

While aiding an archaeological team on Telos, (TV: The Tomb of the Cybermen) a Cyberman time squad attacked the Doctor. This would have killed him if their Controller didn't order them to stop at the risk of erasing their future invasion of Krelos due to the unwitting role of the Fourth Doctor in that plan. The Second Doctor then witnessed a Krelos robot drone decontaminate Jamie before time was reset and this interlude didn't happen. (AUDIO: Return to Telos)

In an alternate version of the London Event, the Doctor was killed by Colonel Spencer Pemberton in the London Underground. (PROSE: Legacies)

In a negated timeline, the TARDIS was attacked on 23 November 1963 by a conceptual bomb bought by and began to be erased from time. The Second Doctor, along with his first and third incarnations, became trapped in another dimension, and tried to warn their other incarnations by reducing the explosion to a blinking light on the TARDIS with the coordinates of the explosion. However, when their four successors followed the warning, the Master took direct action in attacking them, until the Sixth Doctor managed to bring them together to formulate a plan. After the Fifth Doctor ensured that the TARDIS would not explode, the Doctors prepared to time ram the Master's TARDIS. However, rather than kill the Master, the First Doctor instead turned off the automatic distress actions, making it so none of the Doctors followed it into the explosion and undoing the events of the day. (AUDIO: The Light at the End)

Personality
Striving to be the "nicest possible person", (TV: The Enemy of the World) the Second Doctor enjoyed embroiling himself in adventures with his assistants, seeing that the "universe tend[ed] towards good". (PROSE: Wonderland) Despite his bluster and tendency to panic when events got out of control, the Doctor always acted heroically and morally in his desire to help the oppressed and fight "the most terrible things [in the universe]", (TV: The Moonbase, The Enemy of the World, The War Games) deeming himself the "enemy of anything that [was] wrong or evil in [the] universe", (PROSE: The Final Sanction) and that there was "no such thing as defeat". (COMIC: The Tests of Trefus)

He also had a warmer, gentler way about him than his previous incarnation. (TV: The Tomb of the Cybermen) Mercurial, clever, and always a few steps ahead of his enemies, at times he could be a calculating schemer who would not only manipulate people for the greater good, but act like a bumbling fool in order to have others underestimate his true abilities. (TV: The Evil of the Daleks, The Tomb of the Cybermen, The Web of Fear, The Wheel in Space) Although he frequently gave the impression that he never knew what he was doing, this was simply an act put on to fool those who would underestimate him. (TV: The Tomb of the Cybermen, The Dominators)

Despite the Doctor's almost childlike recklessness, it was always clear to his allies that a keen, deliberate intellect lurked behind his every action, (TV: The Macra Terror) with the Doctor adopting a grave seriousness when the situation called for it. (TV: The Mind Robber) Even though he could get caught up in events around him, the Doctor knew that his friends' wellbeing came first and foremost. (TV: The Abominable Snowmen)

The Second Doctor was very childlike in his love of play, dancing a jig in his new body, (TV: The Power of the Daleks) on the outskirts of Atlantis, (TV: The Underwater Menace) and a beach in Australia. (TV: The Enemy of the World) Unlike his reclusive predecessor, the Doctor was quite willing to enjoy fame, and even fortune, when he could find it. (COMIC: Martha the Mechanical Housemaid)

The Doctor liked champagne cognac, (PROSE: Foreign Devils) books, (PROSE: The Nameless City) and cheesecake. (PROSE: The Juror's Story) He was also fond of Cluedo, (PROSE: The Menagerie) and had a fascination for jungles. (PROSE: Combat Rock) He was frightened of vampires. (PROSE: The Murder Game)

He believed in destiny, telling Ben and Polly that the TARDIS' seemingly random journeys were controlled by destiny and that, "if [they] just obey[ed] destiny blindly, all [would] be well". (PROSE: Only a Matter of Time) He did not, however, believe in luck, (COMIC: The Forgotten) or yetis. (PROSE: Dr. Second)

When thinking about where the TARDIS would land, the Doctor hoped to find "pre-historic monsters." (TV: The Underwater Menace)

When Ben and Polly suggested taking some jewels from the tomb of Pharaoh Tut-Ankh-Amen, the Doctor was aghast and berated them for wanting to steal from the deceased, calling it a "monstrous notion". (PROSE: The King of Golden Death)

He enjoyed receiving gifts. (PROSE: The Nameless City)

He would dismiss robots as machines "built to obey". (COMIC: Robot King) He also claimed to hate computers. (TV: The Invasion)

Though he would regret it if he killed someone when trying to incapacitate them, (COMIC: A Comedy of Terrors) the Second Doctor was also painfully aware of the need to see the "bigger picture", knowing that it was entirely proper to sacrifice a few lives if it would save millions. (TV: The Evil of the Daleks, The Wheel in Space) In his more ruthless moments, he wired the Cyber-Tombs doors to fatally electrocute anyone trying to open them, (TV: The Tomb of the Cybermen) pursued the Kraals into extinction, (COMIC: Freedom by Fire) attempted to destroy the Great Intelligence by absorbing it into his mind, (TV: The Web of Fear) ensured that a relatively helpless party of Daleks would all die, (COMIC: Bringer of Darkness) steered an Ice Warrior fleet into the sun, (TV: The Seeds of Death) and used his ray gun to kill the Master of Spiders while shouting, ''"Die, hideous creature. Die!" (COMIC: Master of Spiders) He also appeared unfazed to Ramón Salamander's fate in the Time Vortex. (TV: The Web of Fear'')

Not above playing mind games with his enemies, the Doctor would pretend to agree with them to allow their egos to expose their madness, (TV: The Tomb of the Cybermen) or would purposely annoy them to trick them into showing their lack of self-control. (TV: The Three Doctors)

The Second Doctor had a noticeably antagonistic relationship with the Third Doctor, their personalities so different that they seemed incapable of working together without the authoritative presence of the First Doctor, (TV: The Three Doctors) whom the Second Doctor was slightly afraid of. (WC: Doctors Assemble!) While combating Adam Mitchell's Autons, the Second Doctor associated himself with his first and seventh incarnations, combining with them to think of a solution to the situation. (COMIC: Endgame)

While the Sixth Doctor considered his second incarnation to be an "antediluvian fogey" for apparently being captured by the Sontarans, (TV: The Two Doctors) the Eighth Doctor remembered the Second Doctor as a "gentle little fellow who had sacrificed his own freedom so that others might be free". (PROSE: The Eight Doctors)

The Doctor was highly defensive towards his TARDIS, describing it as "a magnificent machine" and "utterly reliable", trusting it would bring him to where his help was needed. (PROSE: Dr. Second)

By the time he fought Side, the Doctor considered Jamie to be the most reliable friend that he had ever had. (AUDIO: The Jigsaw War) The Sixth Doctor even told his companion, Peri Brown, that he was "always very fond of Jamie." When Chessene of the Franzine Grig informed him that Jamie had most likely been killed in a Sontaran attack, the Doctor began going into a grief-stricken rage until he was restrained. (TV: The Two Doctors)

Victoria Waterfield saw the Second Doctor as a beacon of "kindness, compassion, wisdom, [and] great knowledge", (AUDIO: Power Play) with Zoe Heriot considering the Doctor to be a "lovely little man", who was "fun to be with." (PROSE: One Small Step...) On another occasion, she described him as "old, clever and kind." (AUDIO: The Five Dimensional Man) described the Second Doctor as "the comedian", but noted he was "not quite the clown he look[ed]". (GAME: Destiny of the Doctors)

River Song found the Second Doctor "fun, but [she] wouldn't trust him as far as [she] could throw him". (GAME: The Eternity Clock) When the Eighth Doctor had a tarot card reading, the Second Doctor was identified as "the Hermit". (PROSE: The City of the Dead)

When faced with a forced regeneration from the Time Lords, the Doctor, at first, was concerned over his next incarnation's appearance, maintaining that he had the right to decide what he looked like. After rejecting his offers, the Doctor protested that the Time Lords could not treat him the way they were, and continued protesting in the void, (TV: The War Games) until the Celestial Intervention Agency intervened. (PROSE: World Game)

When the forced regeneration was triggered after he was shot by the Time Lords' animated scarecrows, the Doctor used his dying breath to reassure Farmer Glenlock-Hogan, who had been ridiculed for seeing his scarecrows come to life, that the phenomenon would not happen again after the night was over. (COMIC: The Night Walkers)

Habits and quirks
The Second Doctor developed a habit of running away from danger when inappropriately prepared, often instructing his companions to retreat with, "when I say run, run!" (TV: The Power of the Daleks, The Faceless Ones, The Evil of the Daleks, The Tomb of the Cybermen, The Abominable Snowmen) He was prone to exclaiming, "Oh, my word!", when startled, (TV: The Ice Warriors, The Dominators, The Invasion, The War Games) intrigued, (TV: The Web of Fear, The Krotons, The Three Doctors) or annoyed. (TV: The Seeds of Death) Other favoured phrases of his were, "Oh, my giddy aunt!" (TV: The Krotons, The Three Doctors, The Two Doctors) and, "By the planets!" (COMIC: The Coming of the Cybermen, The Faithful Rocket Pack, The Time Museum)

Physical habits included wringing his hands together, (TV: The Faceless Ones, The Tomb of the Cybermen, The Mind Robber) shifting his jaw when pondering, (TV: The Krotons, The Three Doctors) and elbowing Jamie. (TV: The Faceless Ones, The Web of Fear)

The Doctor possessed a recorder, which he played to concentrate or while under stress. (TV: The Power of the Daleks, The Three Doctors) This recorder was also one of the Doctor's tricks of obfuscation, and he could use it as an effective tool, having a separate mouthpiece that turned it into a spyglass, (TV: The Wheel in Space) improvise it into a blowgun, (TV: The Underwater Menace)

He displayed a fondness of music in other ways besides the recorder, occasionally humming bits of music, (TV: The Krotons) and creating a glass harmonica out of a water glass to pick the sonic lock in his Vulcan Colony cell. (TV: The Power of the Daleks) He had a silent whistle and a pair of bagpipes and told Jamie he could trade travel on the TARDIS for lessons. (TV: The Highlanders) In Atlantis, he played his recorder and a small tambourine as part of his disguise. (TV: The Underwater Menace)

Skills
The Second Doctor had a gift for diplomacy and winning others over to his side, enabling him to trick others into doing what he wished, such as fooling Jamie into going through a series of tests designed to isolate the Human Factor, tricking the Daleks themselves into giving the Human Factor to test subject Daleks, and finally to administer the Dalek Factor to the Doctor himself, which he knew would only work on humans. (TV: The Evil of the Daleks) In a similar way, he got Donald Bruce to ally with him over Ramón Salamander, (TV: The Enemy of the World) pretended to go along with the Great Intelligence's brain transference operation in order to short-circuit the disembodied being, (TV: The Web of Fear) convinced the War Chief to regard him as an ally, (TV: The War Games) and persuaded Omega to spare the Third Doctor's life. (TV: The Three Doctors)

He was also a convincing actor, being able to masquerade as the Chameleons' Director without arousing suspicion, (TV: The Faceless Ones) and, against his will, also impersonated his physical double, Ramón Salamander, with a performance convincing enough to fool Jamie and Victoria. (TV: The Enemy of the World) He easily donned disguises without self-consciousness to age, gender, or dignity; he posed as a German physician, a washerwoman, and a wounded British soldier in Scotland, (TV: The Highlanders) built a Cyberman costume (COMIC: Masquerade) and a Dalek casing for the purpose of espionage (COMIC: The Doctor Strikes Back) and dressed as a strange, gypsy-like musician in Atlantis. (TV: The Underwater Menace)

Physically younger than his predecessor, the Doctor was able to outrun various pursuers, (TV: The Seeds of Death) and avoid weapon ammunition fired at him. (TV: The Invasion) He also learned the arts of Venusian aikido on Venus. (AUDIO: Year of the Drex Olympics)

He also possessed telepathic ability, including being able to use telepathy to show Zoe Heriot his previous adventure with the Daleks via mental projection, (TV: The Wheel in Space) but found the process tiring. (TV: The Dominators) The Master of the Land of Fiction had to trick him with his loyalty to Jamie and Zoe in order to gain partial control of his mind and will. (TV: The Mind Robber) He locked his mind in battle with the Great Intelligence and kept it occupied long enough for his friends to act against it. (TV: The Abominable Snowmen) Although the Androgum Chessene could read minds, she could not read the Doctor's, even when he was drugged and helpless. (TV: The Two Doctors) By placing his hands on someone's head, the Doctor could restore erased memories. (AUDIO: Tales from the Vault)

He was also shown to be adept with at least a basic level of hypnosis, having used it on Victoria to break the programming implanted by the Great Intelligence in Tibet, and on Songsten in order to extract information regarding the Intelligence's scheme, (TV: The Abominable Snowmen) and could reverse the hypnotism of. (PROSE: The Dark Path) The Doctor later put Vana into a trance following the mental assault inflicted on her by the Krotons. (TV: The Krotons) He could even use hypnotism to induce amnesia. (PROSE: The Roundheads)

The Second Doctor was a talented tinkerer, able to construct the pedal-copter, (COMIC: Attack of the Daleks) and build a series of robots to do housework through various means. (COMIC: Martha the Mechanical Housemaid)

The Doctor could instinctively keep track of time, even without a way to measure its passing, (PROSE: The Murder Game) create a fire with two sticks, (COMIC: Freedom by Fire) and could donate indefinitely large amounts of blood. (PROSE: Heart of TARDIS)

Appearance
Resembling a man in his mid-forties, (PROSE: The Nameless City) the Second Doctor was a short man with an oval face. (TV: The Tenth Planet, The Power of the Daleks) He was physically identical to the dictator Ramón Salamander. (TV: The Enemy of the World)

He had blue eyes, (TV: The Three Doctors) though one account described his eyes as being "soft chestnut brown", (PROSE: Pluto) while another depicted them as bright green. (COMIC: Bazaar Adventures) A fourth account claimed his eyes appeared to change colour several times, alternating between blue, grey, and green. (PROSE: Invasion of the Cat-People) According to his war incarnation, the Second Doctor was colour-blind. (PROSE: The Day of the Doctor)

By the time of his exile on Earth, the Doctor had the mark of Blenhim on his chest due to an encounter with the alien race. (COMIC: The Mark of Terror)

Liz Shaw told her mother that the Doctor resembled a "geography teacher" when he first encountered UNIT. (AUDIO: The Last Post) Polly Wright described him as looking like "an unmade bed" to Jamie, (PROSE: The Nameless City) and "a bit sartorially challenged" to the Brigadier. (AUDIO: The Three Companions) Madame Razetskia described the Second Doctor as a "funny little clown", (PROSE: Endgame) while William Blake saw him as "a middle aged man with a mop of black hair" when Legion took on the appearance of the Second Doctor. (PROSE: The Pit)

Samantha Briggs described the Second Doctor as "a short man, with a mournful face and dishevelled clothing." She also noted that he had a "blurred" English accent, which defied description, and seemed to be extremely knowledgeable on a wide variety of subjects. (PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy) Paul Magrs thought he looked like Patrick Troughton. (PROSE: Bafflement and Devotion)

The First Doctor called his second incarnation "a clown" due to his scruffy appearance, (TV: The Three Doctors) whilst the Third Doctor labelled him a "scarecrow", (TV: The Five Doctors) and the Fifth Doctor described him as a "hobo". (PROSE: Five Card Draw) Being a body that was was "not what [he] would have wished for," (AUDIO: The Power of the Daleks) the Fourth Doctor described him as having "a moptop and chequed trousers". (AUDIO: The Fate of Krelos) The Eighth Doctor recalled his second incarnation as being "a comic little man with a flute". (PROSE: Escape Velocity) The Twelfth Doctor described him as "[an] annoying bumbler" with "big trousers". (PROSE: Twice Upon a Time)

When Affinity took on the Second Doctor's appearance, the Twelfth Doctor noted that his second incarnation was "a rather scruffy gentleman, [with] dark, unruly hair" and was "clad in a jacket that seemed several sizes too big and to have been slept in." (PROSE: Silhouette) He also described him as "[an] annoying bumbler" with "big trousers". (PROSE: Twice Upon a Time)

Hair and grooming
The Second Doctor had longish, rumpled black hair, (TV: The Tenth Planet) though, after going on a stressful mission for the Time Lords, (PROSE: World Game) his hair briefly turned grey. (TV: The Two Doctors)

Polly compared his hairstyle to those worn by the Beatles, (AUDIO: The Three Companions) as did John Benton, (AUDIO: The Hexford Invasion) Isobel Watkins, (PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy) Ace, (AUDIO: The Light at the End) and Jo Grant. (AUDIO: The Defectors)

Main attire
The Second Doctor dressed similarly to his previous incarnation, though in far more clustered fashion; His trousers were clownishly large and his bow tie was often crooked and used to secure his shirt collar. (TV: The Power of the Daleks)

He wore a battered old frock coat many sizes too large, which added to his clownish demeanour, (TV: The Power of the Daleks) but demonstrated its usefulness as a secret arsenal of tools, gadgets, food, and seemingly frivolous objects; he carried the TARDIS' Time Vector Generator inside a pocket in his inner lining without difficulty, (TV: The Wheel in Space) and had a magnet hidden in a pocket sewn behind his outer breast pocket. (TV: The Invasion) The Doctor often kept a plain handkerchief in the coat's breast pocket, (TV: The Highlanders) though occasionally switched it for a stylised one. (TV: The Three Doctors, The Two Doctors)

Under his frock coat, he wore a plain shirt, (TV: The Power of the Daleks) kept up with red braces, (COMIC: The Coming of the Cybermen) with a polka-dotted bow tie coloured in blue (TV: The Power of the Daleks) or red. (COMIC: The Faithful Rocket Pack) His shirt colours varied from a dull or bright blue. (TV: The Power of the Daleks, The Three Doctors) He also wore black ankle boots most commonly with brown houndstooth trousers, (TV: The Underwater Menace through TV: The War Games) but also wore baggy orange and brown two-inch check tartan trousers, (TV: The Power of the Daleks) large plain grey trousers, (TV: The Three Doctors) grey-themed tartan trousers, (TV: The Two Doctors) black-and-white checked trousers, (PROSE: The Nameless City) or yellow tartan trousers with green stripes. (COMIC: Comic Relief Comic) Occasionally, he would wear a waistcoat. (PROSE: Daleks Invade Zaos, Golem)

When in colder environments, the Doctor would wear a cloak, (TV: The Highlanders, The Underwater Menace, The Tomb of the Cybermen) or an oversized fur coat. (TV: The Abominable Snowmen, The Ice Warriors, The Five Doctors, The Name of the Doctor)

The Fourth Doctor though that his second incarnation's attire was "unacceptable" for a Time Lord. (AUDIO: The Power of the Daleks)

The Second Doctor expressed a liking for hats, stating that he "would like a hat like that" when he spotted new headgear, (TV: The Power of the Daleks, The Highlanders; PROSE: A Comedy of Terrors) however, he was not afraid to part with them if the situation called for it. (COMIC: Time & Time Again) His most prominent hat was a stovepipe hat, (TV: The Power of the Daleks, The Underwater Menace) but he also wore a hat and a British Army tricorn while in Scotland. (TV: The Highlanders)

Other costumes
While in Paris on a mission for the Celestial Intervention Agency, the Doctor wore white breeches, a neatly-tailored long-tailed black coat with a frilled shirt and cravat, gleaming black boots and a short travelling cloak, and wore a Bregeut watch. Before visiting the palace, he changed into a black coat, black breeches, and a frilly white shirt with an elaborate black cravat.

For the Battle of Waterloo, the Doctor donned black breeches, a black evening coat, a frilled white shirt, and a white waistcoat. (PROSE: World Game)

When his first incarnation was placed on trial in 1963 London as a result of killing a werewolf with a silver bullet, the Second Doctor dressed in an ill-fitting suit. (PROSE: The Juror's Story)

Behind the scenes

 * Rupert Davies, Valentine Dyall, Michael Hordern and Brian Blessed were all approached for the role of the Second Doctor. All declined, as they didn't want to commit to a long-running series.
 * Matt Smith, in preparation for his role as the Eleventh Doctor, watched the Troughton serial The Tomb of the Cybermen, and fell in love with it. He describes Troughton as "rather wonderful" and as being his favourite Doctor. Smith's costume and mannerisms are reminiscent of Troughton's.
 * Almost half of the episodes from the Second Doctor's era have been lost, leaving only seven of Patrick Troughton's 21 TV stories still fully intact (excluding his appearances in multi-Doctor specials). Five further incomplete stories have been released commercially, with specially-created material to bridge the missing episodes. Surviving "orphan" episodes and footage have been released on the Lost in Time DVD collection.
 * The Second Doctor was the first incarnation to directly work with four of his other selves on television, though that turned out to be a number also attained by the Fifth Doctor by virtue of Time Crash. If one includes a story this wiki generally doesn't — Dimensions in Time — then it could be said that the Third and Sixth Doctors were on the "four-timer" list, as well. However, there was no actual "interaction" between Doctors in Dimensions.
 * Until Time Crash, the Second Doctor was the only incarnation to appear in all televised multi-Doctor stories. As of 2013, Troughton holds the record for working with the highest number of other incarnations, having directly interacted with four other Doctors: the First, Third, Fifth, and Sixth Doctors. Taking into account all performed media, however, the record-holder is Peter Davison. His appearances on audio with the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Doctors add to his totals from The Five Doctors and Time Crash, to give a grand total of eight other Doctors.
 * The Second Doctor was the first incarnation to have his face integrated into the Doctor Who title sequence, beginning with The Macra Terror.
 * The Second Doctor is the only incarnation who was forced to regenerate, though the regeneration isn't seen in The War Games, and was confirmed he didn't regenerate until The Night Walkers, the only story to actually show the Second Doctor's regeneration properly.
 * Uniquely the Second Doctor is the only incarnation who didn't regenerate at the end of his last regular appearance, instead his regeneration was shown in the comic story The Night Walkers, also making the Second Doctor the only incarnation to regenerate outside of the television series.
 * The Second Doctor was the only incarnation to emerge from his regeneration with a different set of clothes, as opposed to future incarnations who would have to find a new pair of clothes after changing out of the clothes worn by their previous incarnation.
 * The role of the Second Doctor in the Big Finish plays has been portrayed by close friend and fellow Who actor Frazer Hines, as Patrick Troughton had died 12 years prior to the company's first Who audio. He has also been portrayed in various media by Patrick's sons David Troughton and Michael Troughton, making him the only Doctor to be played by multiple members of the same family.
