Tenth Doctor

The Tenth Doctor was the tenth incarnation of the Time Lord known as the Doctor. Unlike his immediate predecessor, who was plagued by melancholy due to his actions during the Last Great Time War, this incarnation was outgoing, lively and genial, a demeanour that hid the "survivor's guilt" that had plagued him since the war. Late in his life, however, the weight became much more pronounced. If prodded too much, he would erupt in an almost righteous sense of fury.

Like only a few of his incarnations, he had romantic relationships with humans, specifically Joan Redfern (as John Smith), Reinette and Rose Tyler. He was haunted by companions lost, enemies believed long-dead and events that threatened to destroy time itself. He met his end after he absorbed a huge quantity of nuclear radiation whilst saving the life of his friend, and Donna Noble's grandfather, Wilfred Mott, leading to his regeneration into his next incarnation.

A changed man
When the Ninth Doctor absorbed the Time Vortex from his companion Rose Tyler and transferred it back into the Heart of the TARDIS, the forces began to destroy every cell in his body. He started to regenerate for the ninth time. (TV: The Parting of the Ways)

Before regenerating, the Doctor had dematerialised the TARDIS from Satellite 5 (TV: The Parting of the Ways), leaving the immortal Jack Harkness behind because of his status as a living fixed point. (TV: Utopia) He still intended to fulfil his promise to take Rose to the planet Barcelona. With Rose suffering an emotional crisis over his sudden change, he instead decided to take her home to the Powell Estate in London. En route, he convinced her of his identity by reminding her of the first thing he said to her: "Run". Before he could complete the landing, he began to suffer adverse effects from his regeneration. Experiencing manic hyperactivity, he accelerated the TARDIS faster and faster. (TV: Children in Need Special)

Crash-landing the TARDIS on the Powell Estate on Christmas Eve 2006, the Doctor fell into a coma after wishing Jackie Tyler and Mickey Smith a Merry Christmas. He snapped out of it briefly to save Mickey and the Tylers from a killer Christmas tree, but the stress of waking up too soon made matters worse and he collapsed again. When the TARDIS was taken aboard a Sycorax spaceship on Christmas morning, he awoke with the help of some tea that seeped into a component of the TARDIS, just in time to stop the Sycorax leader's blood control of one third of humanity. The Doctor challenged the leader to a duel over the fate of Earth. In the ensuing sword fight, the Sycorax leader chopped off the Doctor's hand. However, because he was still in the first fifteen hours of his regeneration cycle, he grew a new hand and went on to win the Earth. However, when the Sycorax leader went back on the deal, the Doctor ejected him from the ship, killing him.

As the Sycorax fled, Prime Minister Harriet Jones ordered Torchwood to destroy the ship. The angry Doctor spoke some words into her aide's ear, "Don't you think she looks tired", to bring about Jones' premature downfall. After choosing his new outfit, the Doctor had Christmas dinner with Mickey and the Tylers. (TV: The Christmas Invasion)

(COMIC: The Hunt of Doom)

Trying to get his ship back, the Doctor allied with his old enemies on their mission to locate Thanatos the Worldbane, the greatest superweapon in creation. When they found it, Thanatos killed Snathe, and finding Sontarans to be a stagnant race, plotted to destroy their homeworld, Sontar. Luckily, Lerox nearly sacrificed himself to save his homeworld, convincing Thanatos that the Sontarans were worth sparing.

To his shock and delight, he was reunited with a companion from long ago, Sarah Jane Smith, who was also investigating the school; although trying to keep his identity secret, Sarah eventually discovered he was the Doctor. After repairing K9 Mark III, whom Sarah still kept in the boot of her car, he learned that the oil used to boost the children's intelligence was Krillitane oil.

The Krillitanes were using the children's minds to solve the Skasis Paradigm, a computation that could rebuild the fabric of the universe. The Doctor became sorely tempted to use the paradigm to restore the Time Lords, being offered an alliance with Krillitane leader and headmaster, Brother Lassar. He resisted temptation. K9 sacrificed himself to blow up the Krillitanes with their toxic oil, which blew up the school. The Doctor asked Sarah Jane to rejoin him on his travels, but she declined. On her suggestion, the Doctor allowed Mickey to accompany him and Rose on their travels, as he was finally ready to see the universe. He also built a new K9 as parting gift for Sarah Jane, giving it all the memories of the previous model. (TV: School Reunion) The Doctor and his two companions went to the SS Madame de Pompadour in the 51st century, where they found the crew's organs were used as "parts" by the repair droids after the ship had been damaged. The droids created time windows to find the ship's namesake, Madame de Pompadour, nicknamed Reinette, when she was what they considered "complete", to be used as the final "part". While investigating this, the Doctor travelled throughout Reinette's life via these time windows, fighting the droids throughout 18th century France. Through the course of their contact, Reinette fell in love with the Doctor, kissing him once when she meets him for the first time as an adult.

When the droids found the "complete" Madame de Pompadour, the Doctor broke through a time window to the court of Versailles in 1758, shattering the connection to the ship and stranding the droids - and the Doctor himself from his TARDIS and companions. Without purpose, they shut down. With no way of seeing Rose, Mickey or the TARDIS, the Doctor resigned himself to living "on the slow path" with Reinette. Luckily, Reinette had taken a fireplace which, because it was disconnected, retained its link to the SS Madame de Pompadour. The Doctor tried going back through the fireplace so that he could take Reinette to see the universe, but the loose connection to the time window meant she had already died when he returned six years later from her perspective: Reinette has spent six years waiting for him to return. After reading a heartfelt letter she had left him, the Doctor was left devastated. (TV: The Girl in the Fireplace)

Rose became infected with an essence-eating Iagnon grub.

When Rose found her father Pete Tyler was alive in this world, the Doctor cautioned her against making contact, as he wasn't actually her father. Giving in to Rose's request to attend the birthday party of her parallel mother, the Doctor was horrified to discover the Cybermen had been reborn and could only watch at they "crashed the party". (TV: Rise of the Cybermen)

The Doctor bought time by trading philosophical ideas with him while Mickey shut off the emotional inhibitors. The Cybermen began exploding, along with Cybus Industries; Ricky died during the strike. When it came time to leave, Mickey chose to stay behind to fight Cybermen worldwide, as he didn't fit in with the Doctor and Rose's close relationship, even though the Doctor had to seal the crack between universes, separating Mickey from them and his universe forever.

Battle of Canary Wharf and losing Rose
On a routine visit to the Powell Estate, the Doctor and Rose found the entire planet was being visited by beings believed to be ghosts. The Doctor tracked the signal to Torchwood Tower in Canary Wharf and was taken prisoner by Yvonne Hartman, leader of the Torchwood Institute who had spent over a hundred years trying to track him down ever since his adventure with Queen Victoria in 1879. He strongly opposed their use of "ghost shifts" for a power source, as it was ripping a hole between parallel worlds which increased in size with every iteration. The original tear was caused by "the Sphere", an object the Doctor identified as a void ship. Two computer technicians, secretly under the control of Cybermen, restarted the ghost shift. The ghosts, who were actually Cybermen, came from the parallel world where the Doctor and Rose had left Mickey. As the Cyberman invasion of Earth began, the void ship opened, revealing the Cult of Skaro, a group of Daleks with a Genesis Ark. (TV: Army of Ghosts) The Genesis Ark was Time Lord technology, a prison ship containing millions of Daleks captured by the Time Lords.

As Daleks and Cybermen waged war with humanity and each other, the Doctor was transported back to the Cybermen's original universe, where he reunited with Pete Tyler, who had turned the Preachers into a parallel Torchwood. With them alongside him, he returned to the Doctor's universe, fought off the Cybermen and rescued Rose, Mickey and Jackie from his oldest foes. Torchwood perished in the battle.

To save both dimensions from annihilation and defeat his two deadliest enemies, the Doctor opened the Void. This would suck anything covered in "Void stuff" into it and seal off the two universes for good. Realising that Rose was also covered in Void energy, the Doctor sent an unwilling Rose, along with Mickey, Pete and Jackie, back to the parallel Earth, where they would be safe. Rose refused to leave the Doctor. Knowing she would never see her family again, she returned. Together, they opened the Void and the Daleks and Cybermen were sucked in. The plan initially went smoothly until Rose's lever malfunctioned, threatening to halt the operation. Rose secured the lever, but couldn't hold on and was almost sucked into the Void.

She was saved at the last second by her parallel father and taken back across to the other universe, separating her from the Doctor forever. Both devastated, the Doctor and Rose met one last time on Dårlig Ulv Stranden in Norway; he was projecting a hologram of himself through the last crack in the universe leading to where Rose was. He had parked the TARDIS in orbit around a supernova for enough power to say goodbye. Rose finally told the Doctor that she was in love with him, but before he could confess his love for her, the connection was lost. The Doctor was left crying, and alone. (TV: Doomsday)

A Noble encounter
Whilst he was grieving for Rose, Donna Noble appeared inside the TARDIS during her wedding to Lance Bennett. (TV: Doomsday, The Runaway Bride) While trying to return her to the ceremony on Christmas Eve, 2007, the Doctor chased a taxi across the motorway in the TARDIS when Donna was kidnapped by robot Santas. Successful in saving her, he returned her to her wedding, where the robot Santas attacked with bombs disguised as Christmas baubles. The Doctor destroyed the attack force and went with Donna and Lance to H.C. Clements, which had a basement leading to a secret Torchwood base underneath the Thames. There, the Doctor and Donna discovered that Lance wasn't marrying Donna out of love; he was working for the Empress of the Racnoss. They were using Donna as an incubator for Huon particles needed to revive other Racnoss in stasis at the Earth's core; she appeared in the TARDIS because of magnet-like pull of the Huon particles in it. The Doctor and Donna escaped in the TARDIS and travelled back in time to witness the Earth's creation and the Racnoss' involement. When they were forced back to 2007, Lance was force-fed Huon particles in Donna's place and was fed to the Racnoss offspring through a hole dug by Torchwood, waking them. After the Empress failed to take his offer to leave Earth, the Doctor's darker side took him over. He drowned the Racnoss offspring with all of the River Thames by flooding the Torchwood base on top of the hole, ignoring the Empress's screams for him to stop, only stopping when Donna told him to.

When the Empress tried attacking London with her Webstar, the British military destroyed her along with it. The Doctor took Donna back home, having the offer to join him in his adventures declined because of his darker side. Declining Christmas dinner, the Doctor was told by Donna to "find someone" to help him control his dark side. However, he continued to insist that he "didn't need anyone". (TV: The Runaway Bride)

He chose Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, the Doctor's old UNIT friend, now retired and in his late seventies. The Brigadier was kidnapped, but refused to accept the War Keeper's demands.

As an alternative, the War Keeper chose another of the Doctor's UNIT friends: Mike Yates, but accidentally summoned another, far less capable man with the same name. Rivals of the dying War Keeper infiltrated his helpers before his death and passed onto the other Mike Yates the Keeper's control device, the Warkeeper's Crown. With the weak-minded, wrong Yates under the control of the Crown and the many forces of the Disjointed Planets, the deceased War Keeper's rivals planned to control the conflicts. The controlled Yates transported himself back to Earth, along with many Orcs, Hawks and other creatures. The Doctor and the Brigadier, with an army of Brigadier clones the Doctor created with technology at the Slough, returned to the Earth to defeat the demon hordes and free Yates from the Crown's control.

(TV: Smith and Jones) As a reward, he took her to London in 1599 to meet William Shakespeare, another of his favourite authors. Learning the lost play, Love's Labour's Won, was to be performed, the Doctor decided to investigate why it vanished. He discovered the Carrionites had the Globe Theatre constructed to their design in order to use a hidden incantation in the script to free the rest of their kind from the Deep Darkness. Despite succeeding, their incantation was reversed by one improvised by Shakespeare, trapping them and all copies of the play in the Darkness. As it risked freeing them, the Doctor advised William not to rewrite the play. He also gave him, according to himself, 10% of the words or phases he would use in his future plays. After the performance, Queen Elizabeth I arrived and ordered her men to kill her sworn enemy: the Doctor, even though the Doctor hadn't met her yet. (TV: The Shakespeare Code)

(TV: Daleks in Manhattan)

To the Doctor's surprise, Sec grew compassionate thanks to his new humanity, wishing to no longer conquer Earth; he wanted the Doctor to take the new human-Dalek race to a new world in his TARDIS. However, the other three members of the Cult betrayed Sec, stripped him of his Dalek superiority and continued with their endless mission to conquer Earth, filling the captive humans with pure Dalek DNA. The Doctor climbed to the top of the Empire State Building and got in the way of the solar flare that powered the experiment; he added Time Lord morality to the hybrids. The Daleks fought the hybrids; Daleks Sec, Jast and Thay and the hybrids all died, leaving Dalek Caan as the last Dalek in existence.

However, he decided to stay to discover what Professor Richard Lazarus was up to after hearing that he was going to "change what it meant to be human". Attending Lazarus' demonstration, the Doctor met Martha's family, including her mother, Francine, who took an immediate dislike to him. He discovered Lazarus had created a machine to restore youth. However, the machine backfired, mutating Lazarus into a monster that fed off the life force of others. Following Lazarus into Southwark Cathedral, the Doctor saved Martha and her sister Tish from being savagely attacked by Lazarus by using his sonic screwdriver to enhance a pipe-organ to reverse the machine's effect and revert Lazarus to his original self, dead.

A malevolent force possessed Hal Korwin, the husband of the ship's captain Kathryn McDonnell, and began reducing the rest of the crew to cinders. Eventually, the Doctor discovered that Torajii was sentient and seeking revenge on Kathryn and her crew for scooping out some of it to use as fuel; it possessed him after its previous host was stopped.

Out of mercy, the Doctor chose to hide from the Family of Blood, who wanted his Time Lord body to achieve a form of immortality, rather than confronting them directly; as he was saving them from a Time Lord's fury. He used a Chameleon Arch to transform himself into a human school teacher named John Smith in 1913 England, completely repressing his Time Lord self, and sending Martha undercover as his maid to protect it while he could not.

He was left haunted by all the death and destruction his act of mercy had caused, and by his guilt over Joan having been in love with his human avatar.

The TARDIS reacted badly, flying all the way to the year 100,000,000,000,000 - at the end of the universe itself.

On Malcassairo, which populated the last of humanity, the Doctor and Jack had a tense reunion. Whilst investigating the planet, they saved a human from being hunted by a cannibalistic humanoid called the Futurekind.

The Doctor slowly began to realise that the Toclafane were the humans he had encountered at the end of the universe. He was once more aged by the Master, this time into a diminutive little creature. Using the Archangel Network, the Doctor harnessed the psychic energy of humanity's hope, as Martha had spent a year travelling the world telling humanity about his importance to them. The Doctor regained his young appearance. He then inflicted the worse blow to the Master's ego: he forgave him for everything he did. On the Doctor's orders, Jack destroyed the paradox machine keeping the Toclafane in the present, undoing the entire year; time resumed for everyone else right after the president was killed, but those on the Valiant retained their memories due to being at the "eye of the storm".

(TV: The Sontaran Stratagem) The sezerfine gas was emitted from ATMOS-equipped cars across the Earth to be used to breed more Sontarans for the war against the Rutans. After finding and freeing the real Martha (he immediately knew she was replaced), the Doctor used an atmospheric converter, built by the students at Luke's school for gifted children, to ignite the atmosphere, destroying the gas. The Sontarans' next plan was to simply conquer Earth. Rattigan, having been betrayed by the Sontarans, sacrificed his life, swapping places with the Doctor at the last minute to destroy the flagship with the converter. (TV: The Poison Sky)

Becoming a father again
Directly following this, the TARDIS unexpectedly transported the Doctor, Donna and an unwilling Martha to the planet Messaline in the year 6012. There, DNA was stolen from the Doctor and replicated to produce Jenny, his biological "daughter". Paradoxically, it was Jenny's creation which brought the TARDIS to Messaline to begin with. Initially critical of the girl due to her predilection for violence and reminded of the loss of his other children and grandchildren, the Doctor came to feel for his daughter after much persuasion and help from Donna. The Doctor activated the Source, a terraforming device that had become a subject of mythology. Messaline became inhabitable and the war between humans and Hath on the planet ended. Before the Doctor could take Jenny aboard the TARDIS, she was shot by General Cobb, stepping in to save the Doctor's life. The heartbroken Doctor overcame his desire to shoot Cobb dead in cold blood. However, he used his resistance in order to help found a new society on the planet. Martha returned to her fiancé Tom Milligan, as she had been taken there by mistake. The Doctor travelled on with Donna, with the burden of another lost loved one, unaware that his daughter had actually survived and was travelling across the universe in search of adventures, just like him.

The Doctor was part of a murder mystery in Eddison Manor in 1926. Working with yet another of his favourite authors, Agatha Christie, the Doctor discovered Arnold Golightly, a half Vespiform - half human, was turned into a murderer when the Firestone mentally connected him to Agatha. The Firestone gave him the wrong template on how the world worked, and he imitated the murder methods in Agatha's books. When Donna threw the gem into a lake, with Golighty going after it, the connection caused temporary amnesia in Christie, and the Doctor dropped her off in the Harrogate Hotel. He also showed Donna that Agatha's work would be read for a long time by showing her a volume he got in 5,000,000,000. (TV: The Unicorn and the Wasp)

Enter River Song
The Doctor received a message on his psychic paper from Professor River Song, a "very important" woman from his future. She called him to the Library in the 51st century to help a team of archaeologists representing the Felman Lux Corporation to investigate the planet, which had been sealed off a century earlier with the message "4022 saved. No survivors." However, she called him at a point where he had no idea who she was. The group discovered the Library infested by Vashta Nerada. The Doctor teleported Donna back to the TARDIS with the shop's teleporters, but she failed to make it. (TV: Silence in the Library) She was "saved" inside the Library's core. River gained the Doctor's trust by revealing to him that she knew his real name, which deeply shocked the Doctor. The Doctor realised that the 4022 people being "saved" meant they were inside the core.

Angered by them devouring Anita, the Doctor asked the Vashta Nerada to look him up in the Library's history books. The swarm backed down for a day to give the Doctor time to save the people in the Core before the Library detonated. River knocked out the Doctor and handcuffed him, sacrificing herself to boost the Library's memory, which devastated the Doctor as he began to realise how important she would be to him in the future. This returned the 4000 people who were saved in the Library's core, including Donna.

The Doctor, inspired by her faith in him, saved River Song by preserving her data ghost, saved in the sonic screwdriver by his future self, into the core's virtual reality, and travelled on with Donna to find the "next chapter" in his long life. (TV: Forest of the Dead)

The next chapter
The Doctor next took Donna to a leisure planet called Splendorosa, where they visited a foating city called Coral. Intrigued by the city, the Doctor went undercover at GeoCorp, the company responsible for the city's position in the sky. He came into conflict with the company's CEO, Volsairius Trefgar. He and Donna uncovered a plot to "steal" Splendorosa by Trefgar and the war-like Sarriflex, who intended to transport the planet to a galaxy at war in order to use it as a weapon. The Doctor stopped them by distrupting their ships, bringing Coral City back to the land in the process. However, he and Donna, instead of being honoured for saving the population from a deadly war, were chased out of the city by a lynch mob, as the population had grown fond of "living in the sky".

He discovered the Ice Warriors had planned to unleash a Spanish flu pandemic during World War I to weaken Earth. However, they were all killed by the Spanish flu. With his army dead, the Doctor returned Issaxyr to Mars to help rebuild the Ice Warrior civilisation. (PROSE: Cold)

The Doctor and Donna later visited the leisure planet Midnight. Donna stayed at the leisure palace whilst the Doctor took a four-hour ride on the Crusader 50 bus to the Sapphire Waterfall. The bus was attacked by an unknown entity which possessed one of the passengers, Sky Silvestry, and eventually appeared to pass into the Doctor, inciting mass hysteria among the other passengers. Before the creature could trick the passengers into throwing out the Doctor, Sky was dragged out into the Xtonic sunlight by the bus' hostess, who realised that Sky was stealing the Doctor's voice, and the creature departed, its plans defeated. (TV: Midnight)

In this alternate universe, she met Rose Tyler, who had crossed from "her universe" to restore the timeline. She told her two words to tell the Doctor. After Donna corrected the universe by killing herself in the alternative universe, she was able to tell the Doctor the message, "Bad Wolf" - it meant the end of the universe. (TV: Turn Left)

War of the Medusa Cascade
Realising the barriers of countless universes were breaking down, the Doctor rushed back to 2009 Earth. He found that everything was normal, but when they re-entered the TARDIS, the planet vanished. Finding no clue as to its location and fearful for his various human allies, he went to the Shadow Proclamation and learned twenty-seven planets had been stolen. With the cooperation of old friends Harriet Jones, Jack Harkness and his Torchwood team, Sarah Jane Smith, Luke Smith, Martha Jones, Mr Smith and Rose Tyler, his Children of Time, he was contacted. He locked onto the location of the Earth by following the trail of the Tandocca Scale left by the missing Earth as well as the Children of Time's signal. He discovered Earth had been stolen by the, now mighty, Dalek Empire - and Davros, who had been saved from the Last Great Time War by Dalek Caan. After landing on a ravaged Earth, he finally reunited with his beloved Rose. As they began running towards each other, a Dalek appeared. Jack destroyed it, but not before it had mortally wounded the Doctor. Taken into the TARDIS, the Doctor had his long awaited reunion with Rose, before the pain of being shot by a Dalek forced him to regenerate. (TV: The Stolen Earth)

Using his nearby severed hand from his swordfight with the Sycorax, the Doctor used the regeneration to heal himself, but not to regenerate into a new form. The TARDIS was taken aboard the Dalek Crucible, where the Doctor, Rose and Jack were captured. Donna was locked inside the TARDIS, which was sent to be destroyed in the Crucible's pit. As a result of this, a new Doctor was born from his severed hand when Donna touched it. The meta-crisis made Donna part-Time Lord, becoming the DoctorDonna of the Ood prophecy. He saved the TARDIS, but the "real" Doctor believed he had lost Donna and his ship. As the Children of Time gathered on the Crucible, Davros forced the Doctor to remember everyone who had died in his name and how he had turned all of his companions into weapons and willing murderers, which unveiled the Doctor's "soul". DoctorDonna disabled the planet powered reality bomb to stop Davros from destroying reality itself and the "three Doctors" and his companions overpowered the Daleks and sent the planets back to their original time and place. Whilst the Doctor worked on returning Earth home, the meta-crisis committed genocide against the Daleks, which horrified the Doctor. As the Doctor's companions retreated to the TARDIS, the Doctor offered to save Davros and Caan. Davros refused, hatefully denouncing the Doctor as "the destroyer of worlds", while Caan predicted that one of the Doctor's companions would perish. The Children of Time used the TARDIS to tow Earth back to its original point in time and space as the Crucible fell, killing Davros and the Daleks for good. The Doctor said his goodbyes to Sarah Jane, Martha, Jack and Mickey Smith before he left the meta-crisis Doctor in the Tylers' parallel world, hoping Rose would help him control his dangerous ways just as she had done to him in his ninth incarnation, sacrificing his own future with Rose. The meta-crisis Doctor whispered what the Doctor was going to say when they were separated and Rose and the meta-crisis Doctor kissed. Upon returning to his own universe, the Doctor was dealt another emotional blow as he was forced to remove all of Donna's Time Lord abilities and memories of travelling with him, as they would have killed her because her human body couldn't handle it. He returned Donna to Wilfred and her mother Sylvia, and told them they would have to make sure she never remembered him. After receiving comfort from Wilfred, the heartbroken Doctor was then left to travel on, alone and saddened at all the friends he had lost in such a short time. (TV: Journey's End)

Invasion of the mind
Es'Cartrss of the Tactire, an inhabitant of Callufrax Minor, had been stuck on the Dalek Crucible and was unable to return home before the Doctors returned the planets. He escaped to the TARDIS where he attempted to take over the Doctor's mind, but the Doctor's link with the TARDIS forced them both into the Matrix, where the Doctor lost all memory of his previous nine lives. Assisted by a TARDIS impersonation of Martha Jones, the Doctor had the stronger mind and began recalling past adventures, eventually gaining control of his memories.

Taking another routine visit to Edinburgh, the Doctor and Heather re-encountered an old enemy that, ironically, led to them meeting each other in the first place: the Mozhtratta. Having spent centuries feeding upon the vortex residual of the McCrimmon family, the Mozhtratta intended to use the ReCohesion Cannon to drain Heather's energy. The Doctor turned the Cannon on him, and the Mozhtratta was consumed by his own DNA. Although they defeated him, the Doctor was horrified to learn that the cannon had broken down Heather's body's defence again vortex radiation: if she travelled in the TARDIS again, she would be torn apart. After saying a fond farewell to Heather, the Doctor was left to travel in his TARDIS, alone once more. (COMIC: Dead-line)

A lonely god

Soon after, the Doctor travelled to London in 2009 at Easter, investigating strange readings on a bus. While he investigated, the bus hurtled through a wormhole to reappear on San Helios. On the bus, he met enigmatic jewel thief, Lady Christina de Souza, and cooperated with her, along with UNIT, to return the bus and its occupants to Earth and stop the Swarm from invading. Before leaving in the TARDIS, the Doctor rejected Christina's offer of companionship, stating that he had lost everyone who travelled with him and he had sworn never to put himself through the heartache again. Carmen, a low level psychic who aided the Doctor, offered a prophecy. She told him, "Your song is ending sir, It is returning. It is returning through the dark, oh but then... he will knock four times". Christina was arrested for multiple thefts, but the Doctor used his sonic screwdriver to aid her escape in the bus. When the Doctor was about to be arrested for helping Christina, he entered the "police box" to "arrest himself" and left. (TV: Planet of the Dead)

Soon after, the Doctor began visiting Douglas Henderson throughout his life without ever having contact with him because he was secretly a doomsday weapon created during the Last Great Time War. However, when Douglas was middle-aged, the Doctor was forced to take Douglas aboard the TARDIS as a group of aliens had began hunting him so that they could use him as a weapon. The Doctor used Douglas to drain the aliens' powers, and soon after, he reset Douglas and allowed him to spend the rest of his life on Earth. (COMIC: The Big, Blue Box)

On a trip to a purple planet called Corah, the Doctor was arrested by Professor Slade and her crew on suspicion of murder. He found an energy-absorbing fugitive was turning the population to stone.

When the TARDIS jumped a time track, the Doctor found himself on the planet Hurala during the Second Dalek War, where he encountered the crew of the bounty spaceship, the Wayfarer. The Doctor discovered that the Dalek empire had tried to exploit the Arkheon Threshold on the planet Arkheon, so they could have time travel. While on Arkheon, the Doctor encountered Dalek X and his flagship, the Exterminator. However, the Doctor destroyed Dalek X, the Exterminator and sealed the Arkheon Threshold. (PROSE: Prisoner of the Daleks)

During the 26th century, the Doctor arrived to investigate the appearance of Sontarans and Rutans on the planet, Chelsea 426, during the Chelsea Flower Show. He was assisted by Jake Carstairs, Vienna Carstairs and Wallace Fitch. (PROSE: The Taking of Chelsea 426)

On 16 July 1969, the Doctor went to the Kennedy Space Center to witness the launch of the Saturn V rocket containing the Apollo 11 pod, which contained, "for the first time in humanity's history", men who would walk on the Moon. Following the launch, the Doctor spotted a black limousine headed for Mission Control.

The Doctor used his psychic paper to beat the mysterious agents inside and investigate. Mission Control had received an unearthly chord coming from an undetectable frequency. The Doctor knew the transmission wasn't a Russian attack, but an alien language. The agents from the limousine, Spencer and Milledge, took charge of this attempted first contact under protocols from Revised Project Blue Book.

The following day, the Doctor revealed he knew what the transmission was: a peaceful offer of technology and knowledge from an alien species. The Doctor, upon learning the secret service had known about the transmission from before the Kennedy presidency, realised the agents were going to use the knowledge imparted by the aliens against the Russians in the Cold War "[t]o try and pervert a pure and innocent gesture of faith into a weapon to win a war". The Doctor picked up a dictaphone, and asked one of Mission Control, Justin, to turn up the speakers loud so he could record it on his dictaphone. Once the recording was made, the Doctor surrendered himself and was knocked out by the agents and put in one of the offices, along with Justin for aiding and abetting him.

On 20 July, while the agents were too busy monitoring the Moon landing, Mission Commander Cliff Boxworth broke the Doctor out of prison and showed him the back exit. Running inside the TARDIS, the Doctor used the TARDIS' translation circuit to create a visualisation of the dictaphone's message, as the message's frequency couldn't be traced. The Doctor dug out this message on the Moon's surface and made contact with the alien flying saucer, telling them that humanity needed to find their own way. Before departing in the TARDIS, the Doctor watched Neil Armstrong's first steps on the Moon as Neil exited Apollo 11. (PROSE: Blue Moon)

The Doctor was brought back into Sarah Jane Smith's life when he crashed her wedding. He knew the Trickster, her arch-enemy, would try to get his revenge on her since his previous attempts to get rid of her failed. As he arrived, Sarah Jane and her fiancé, Peter Dalton, were taken by the Trickster. He was teleported to a nether realm along with K9, Rani Chandra and Clyde Langer, Sarah Jane's young companions, and Luke, Sarah's son and a member of his "Children of Time". He fought the Trickster, who hinted about his death, stating, "The gate is waiting". The TARDIS gave Clyde the power to control artron energy by mistake. Clyde defeated the Trickster with this energy, while the Doctor informed Sarah Jane what needed to be done. Peter sacrificed himself to destroy the Trickster, leaving Sarah Jane alone and heartbroken. When the world was restored, the Doctor visited 13 Bannerman Road and let Sarah Jane's friends look inside his TARDIS, after which he said farewell while sincerely asking Sarah Jane to never forget him and promising her he would see her again, still haunted by the loss of Donna Noble. (TV: The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith)

Quest for the Eternity Crystal
After arriving on the Moon in the 30th century, the Doctor discovered a powerful device called the Eternity Crystal, created by the Karagulan society called the Darksmith Collective, for an undisclosed client. The Collective lost it. When they discovered it was located on the Moon, they sent an agent to collect it, but the Doctor had taken it to prevent them from having it. (PROSE: The Dust of Ages)

Whilst he was trying to understand the history of the Eternity Crystal, he travelled to the graveyard planet, Mordane, where its power had been tested by the Collective. However, the Crystal began to reanimate the dead bodies, but the Doctor managed to defeat them, and made them inanimate again. The Agent eventually arrived and took back the Crystal on behalf of the Collective. (PROSE: The Graves of Mordane)

In pursuit of the Agent and the Crystal, the Doctor arrived on the homeworld of the Darksmith Collective, Karagula. When the Doctor accessed the Darksmith's underground base via the Dark Cathedral, he retrieved the Crystal. In an attempt to understand the Crystal's purpose, he wanted to track down the person who initially constructed the Crystal, Brother Varlos, former member of the Darksmith Collective. (PROSE: The Colour of Darkness)

After tracing Varlos, the Doctor arrived in an underwater base on Flydon Maxima. However, the Collective dispatched a military force called the Dreadbringers to retrieve the Crystal, and the Doctor battled the native lifeform of Flydon, the Blaska. He discovered that Varlos had already departed from Flydon, and left behind his daughter called Gisella. Gisella told him that Varlos was the person who buried the Eternity Crystal on the Moon, because he realised that the Crystal was uncontrollable, and left it behind until he could find a way to destroy it. She told the Doctor that Varlos had travelled back in time, and settled in 1895 Paris. (PROSE: The Depths of Despair)

Arriving in Paris, the Doctor and Gisella found Varlos living under the alias Baron De Guerre, who was killed by a Time Vampire that was pursuing Varlos through the Time Vortex. He began investigating the deaths caused by the vampire, with the assistance of Inspector DuPont, who helped them discover that the vampire was an artificial alien, created by the crew of a spaceship to collect energy to refuel it. However, when it had amassed enough energy, it returned to the ship to discover the crew had already died. Reverting to its sole purpose of gathering even more energy, and without the means to discharge the energy, the creature became unstable. To defeat the vampire, Varlos gave his own life when he drained the vampire's time-energy using his own body, a mock Eternity Crystal and Gisella. (PROSE: The Vampire of Paris)

The Doctor began tracking the Agent across the Milky Way, and followed him to the Silver Devastation. The Doctor arrived in Devastation Hall during the Game of Death, an event devised by the Nocturn to lure humans. He found out that the Agent was destroyed by the Nocturn, Zalenby. The Doctor and Gisella departed and avoided being killed by the Nocturnes in the Game of Death. (PROSE: The Game of Death)

To find out who employed the Darksmith Collective to construct the Eternity Crystal, the Doctor and Gisella arrived on Ursulonamex, where the Collective met with their clients. Expecting the planet to be lush and beautiful, upon arrival they found that it had been scorched and charred by the clients to remove all trace of their arrival. The Doctor learnt from survivors that evidence of their identity might exist in an observation station in orbit around Ursulonamex. On board the station, the Doctor found a Dravidian Hive, but the Doctor and Gisella escaped from them, and were unable to uncover any evidence about the Collective's mysterious clients. (PROSE: The Planet of Oblivion)

While in flight, the TARDIS was captured by the Shadow Proclamation, and the Doctor was put on trial where the Crystal was legally returned to Gisella. This was because Gisella was Varlos' daughter, and it was officially his property, so its ownership naturally passed on to Gisella. However, Gisella betrayed the Doctor, when she handed over the Eternity Crystal to the Collective. Although, she accidentally revealed the Darksmith's secret rendezvous point, the location where they were meeting their infamous clients. (PROSE: The Pictures of Emptiness)

The Doctor arrived in the designated location, which was London in 2009. Whilst he was there, he discovered that the clients were really the Krashok. He also found out that Gisella was an android all along, who was created by Varlos, and who had been reprogrammed by the Darksmith Collective to give them the Eternity Crystal when she and the Doctor collected it. When Gisella and the High Minister of the Collective, Drakon, handed over the Crystal to the Krashok, Drakon was killed as soon as he fulfilled the deal, which broke the Collective's conditioning over her. (PROSE: The Art of War)

The Doctor discovered that the Krashok planned to use the Crystal to target their fallen warriors and to resurrect them, making them an invincible fighting force. They intended to detonate the Eternity Crystal unless the Doctor stopped them. To give him an incentive to do so, they trapped Gisella on their ship, aware that he wouldn't let her die, despite being an android that had been hoodwinked by the Collective. However, the Doctor eventually rescued Gisella, defeated the Krashoks and the Darksmith Collective, and destroyed the Eternity Crystal in the process. After the Doctor had completed his mission with the Eternity Crystal, he left Gisella behind to live out a normal life as an android. (PROSE: The End of Time)

Majenta and the Crimson Hand
The Doctor re-encountered time-travelling businesswomen Majenta Pryce when he went undercover as a medical doctor at the Thinktwice Orbital Penitentiary, where she had been imprisoned thanks to his meddling in her "Hotel Historia" business. However, the harsh regime and crude psychological methods of the prison left Majenta with no memory of the Doctor or her life before their first meeting. The Doctor restored Majenta's memory of him, but could not restore anything else beyond their first encounter. Together, they uncovered the truth behind Thinktwice; it was being used by the Memeovax, who fed on the prisoners' memories. When one of the Memeovax tried to invade Majenta's mind, she unleashed a blast of power that destroyed all the Memeovax in Thinktwice Prison. Afterwards, the Doctor was ordered into helping Majenta to resolve her memory issues, reluctantly taking her aboard the TARDIS. (COMIC: Thinktwice)

Trying to take Majenta to Panacea — a healing world, where he planned to solve Majenta's memory problems, the Doctor instead landed the TARDIS in Stockbridge, where he was reunited with his old friend Maxwell Edison and saved Stockbridge village from the Lokhus of the Zytragupten. After this, the Doctor once again asked Maxwell to travel with him. Maxwell declined, instead opting to protect Stockbridge from aliens. (COMIC: The Stockbridge Child)

The Doctor and Majenta arrived at an apparently abandoned house on the edge of the Proxima System. The Doctor discovered a holographic party run by a digitised avatar of Wesley Sparks, founder of Sparktech. As events from decades before replayed in holographic form, the Doctor was astonished to learn Majenta had been a guest at the party as Wesley's best friend, business partner and fiancée. The real Majenta explored the house. She came upon the real Wesley Sparks, now a desiccated cyborg who had gone insane as he preserved himself with bionic parts, waiting for Majenta to return from "pressing business". He attempted to force Majenta into marrying him, but she was saved by the Doctor and Wesley's avatar, still the dignified host and gentleman he had been. Damaged in battle saving Majenta, the avatar begged Majenta to remember their lives together. Majenta tearfully broke down and embraced the avatar as it died. (COMIC: Mortal Beloved) Still trying to take Majenta to Panacea, they got sidetracked and landed in Sydney, where they were taken into custody by UNIT's Australian branch. The Doctor was surprised to find the UNIT officer was Majenta's old confidante, Fanson, disguised by a perception filter. Fanson was now in the thrall of the Doctor's previous foe, the Skith Leader, who was secretly helping Fanson infiltrate the UNIT operation. Majenta was captured by the Skith General's rival forces, who were surprised to find themselves unable to access her mind. The Skith elected her as the perfect pilot for the prototype timeship (or SKARDIS), a replica of the Doctor's TARDIS, and converted her into a Skith Queen. While she was in this form, the Doctor convinced her to turn on the Skith and help UNIT destroy their ship. As the Skith ship fell, Fanson revealed that he was responsible for erasing her memory to spare her agony. Fanson died from injuries sustained at the hands of the Skith General, and the Doctor and Majenta fled, finally beginning to warm to each other. (COMIC: The Age of Ice)

The Doctor and Majenta next visited New Old Detroit, a planet in the Proxima System. There, they solved the final case of low-life private eye Johnny Seaview and wrested control of the World Bomb from a corrupt Alpha Centauran The Doctor triggered the World Bomb, transforming the slums of New Old Detroit into a world mapped on his memories of England. (COMIC: The Deep Hereafter)

The Doctor next took Majenta to Graveworld 909, where they stopped Prespero, the guardian of the planet who had taken away the population's speech following a galactic war. (COMIC: Onomatopoeia)

After that, the Doctor took Majenta to see the play The Mousetrap. In the London Underground they found "ghosts" saved by a being known as Mnemosyne. After they defeated Mnemosyne and after receiving another prophecy about his approaching demise, the Doctor decided to stick to his "no companions" rule and intended to take Majenta to Panacea. Before he could take her there, a fleet of ships surronded Earth, having finally tracked down him and Majenta. (COMIC: Ghosts of the Northern Line)

Majenta and the Doctor tried to escape in the TARDIS, but this failed as Intersol launched a tractor beam. The Doctor was captured and tortured by Finn Dargo and learned that Majenta was a member of the Crimson Hand, a highly dangerous criminal organisation. Majenta was mind-probed by Intersol's computer, Justice, and then attacked by her old cellmate, Zed. The Doctor convinced Zed into becoming his ally, helping him escape and save Majenta. However, the four remaining members of the Crimson Hand arrived, having followed the TARDIS around the universe. They killed most of Intersol's staff and took Majenta over again. As she was taken over, she teleported the Doctor and his TARDIS in a pocket dimension, making her Crimson Hand friends believe that she had turned the Doctor to ashes.

After the Crimson Hand members seized control of the whole universe, Majenta restored her homeworld of Vessica. It had been a planet of immense poverty; this changed when she used the Crimson Hand to make the planet rich again. The population rebelled against her and she brought the Doctor back into existence. After resisting the urge to use its power to bring back everyone he had lost, the Doctor and Majenta finally destroyed the Crimson Hand at the cost of Majenta's life. The Doctor resurrected her and placed her in the restored New Old Detroit. As long as the Doctor remembered her, she would stay alive. With his mission to help Majenta complete, the Doctor was left alone again. (COMIC: The Crimson Hand)

Making new friends and enemies
The Doctor attended a celebrity party in Hollywood in 1926, where he met Archie Maplin, a young actress called Emily Winter and a runner called Matthew Finnegan. He drew the attention of Maximilian Love and Mr Leo Millar, two Terranites, who planned to transfer the hopes and dreams from young actors, such as Maplin and transplant them into themselves, because they were actors on Terron V. Offering himself for Maplin's safety, the Doctor's memories were too much for them, and inadvertently set fire to the building. The Doctor got them all safely out the building before it exploded. Outside they saw Miller escaping, but was eventually arrested by the police. As the Doctor headed back to the TARDIS, Matthew and Emily asked if they could join him, but he refused. However, as he was about to enter his ship, a temporal vortex opened up. From it emerged Judoon and a Shadow Architect, who arrested the Doctor for interfering in fixed points in times. (COMIC: Silver Scream)

The Doctor was placed on trial by the Shadow Proclamation for transgressing the Laws of Time and saving Emily's life when she should have died when the building was on fire. Krillitane leader Mr Finch was the Doctor's prosecutor and the Advocate was defence, but the Advocate was later killed. The Doctor was sentenced to imprisonment on Volag-Noc, and during the journey met a Draconian, a Sontaran and an Ogron. The Doctor's party took control of the ship. After this, the Doctor learned that his trial was set up to uncover Finch's plot, but he also found out that Finch was from a shapeshifting race called the Gizou, in disguise. The Doctor returned to 1926 Hollywood to collect the Terronite Transference machine, used to extract memories from the Doctor's mind. While there, he decided to break his "no companions rule" by inviting Matthew and Emily to travel with him, unaware that the Advocate had survived and was on the hunt for the Terronite machine in the Doctor's possessions. Before leaving, the Doctor received the "he will knock four times" prophecy again from the Judge responsible for his capture and trial, reminding him of his approaching death. (COMIC: Fugitive)

The TARDIS was invaded by aliens called the Acari led by the Advocate, and were intent on killing the Doctor. The breach of the TARDIS by the Acari spaceship forced the TARDIS interior to rearrange itself, displacing the console room, and risking implosion. Since the Doctor was psychically linked to the TARDIS, the trauma of having the Acari ship aboard caused the Doctor to undergo mental instability and his past selves began to bleed through. The Advocate placed doubt into Matthew's mind about the Doctor's morality by urging him to read the secret diary previously belonging to Turlough. A being called the Tef'Aree appeared to Emily in the TARDIS. Emily helped the Doctor save the ship, and the Acari ship separated from the TARDIS, but not before the Advocate stole the Terranite technology. (COMIC: Tesseract)

The Doctor was summoned to Greenwich Park by Martha Jones and Captain Erisa Magambo working on behalf of UNIT, and claimed that the trees were attacking people. The tree trunks were marked with Enochian symbols, a language invented by mathematician and magician John Dee to converse with angels. The Doctor realised these "angels" were trapped beneath the observatory, but emerged through the trees in the park. The Doctor headed into the passages beneath the park to communicate with the "angels". In actuality, the aliens were waiting in suspended animation for the Doctor to free them. Believing the Enochia's story, the Doctor set them free, but it was a trick. John Dee trapped them, but they became free to take over all of the trees and conquer the Earth.

The Enochia realised the Doctor didn't remove the force field trapping it, so they threatened Emily. The Doctor and Emily escaped, but plunged down a hidden shaft into an ancient cavern where they discovered a stripped down colony ship containing thousands of Enochians in stasis. The Advocate arrived and opened the stasis pods, releasing the Enochia. The Enochia trapped Central London in a force field. The Advocate appeared to Martha and proposed a way of ending the crisis, by striking at the Enochian ship and planting a bomb in it. Martha found Emily and the Doctor, and they confronted the Advocate, but Magambo refused to allow him time to develop an alternative solution to the Enochia threat and insisted on following the Advocate's plan. When he resisted this option, she arrested the Doctor.

Martha and Emily rescued the Doctor. The Doctor arrived and launched the Enochia ship into space, which drew all the Enochian up with it, and removing the force field. The Advocate's bomb was no longer needed, but the countdown was accidentally started and the ship would explode, leaving a gardener called Mr Crane trapped inside, but the Doctor could do nothing to save him. The Advocate used Crane's death to finally destroy Matthew's faith in the Doctor and Matthew elected to leave the Doctor, and travel with the Advocate instead. After solving the crisis, the Doctor and Emily departed from London. (COMIC: Don't Step on the Grass)

After several adventures in the TARDIS, the Doctor and Emily arrived at the Shady Grove Rest Home in the 21st century where an old man named Barnaby Edwards celebrated his birthday. Although the Doctor didn't recognise him, Barnaby insisted he travelled with the Doctor when he was a young man. The Doctor gave Barnaby an envelope and told him to guard it with his life. He returned it to the Doctor before dying, contented. The Doctor wasn't upset - he knew he'd have the pleasure of meeting Barnaby as a young man sometime in his own future. Inside the envelope was the charred remains of Turlough's diary and a warning that Matthew Finnegan was in danger. The Doctor and Emily headed off to find him and to stop the Advocate's plans. (COMIC: Old Friend)

While exploring a war-torn planet, the Doctor and Emily encountered Robert Lewis and his colleagues: Eliza Cooper, Professor Alexander Hugh and Annabella Primavera from Oxford University in 1906. They were working for Torchwood, and were testing a time machine created from cannibalised alien technology, which inadvertantly transferred them through time and space to this planet. Their group was captured by inhabitants of the planet, called the Soul Free, who had been fighting with other inhabitants called Terror Farmers for thousands of years. The party, led by the Soul Free were led to a temple called Kol'Ne Wah, by the Gizou who impersonated Mr Finch during the Doctor's trial by the Shadow Proclamation, whose real name was Lau'Tan, and had been working against the Advocate since the trial.

They were attacked by the Terror Farmers, causing Annabella's death. Lau'Tan disguised himself as the Doctor and captured with Emily. The Doctor led the remaining group to the temple, where he discovered a lost expedition, who made contact with the Tef'Aree, who Emily had encountered in the TARDIS during the Acari incursion, and were in fact humans given a terraforming device with which they hoped to make the colony planet self-sufficient. After this discovery, the Doctor realised that the name "Terror Farmers" was a corruption of Terra Firma, likewise with the "Soul Free" (Sol Three).

The Doctor discovered that the Advocate planned to use Matthew's human DNA to reactivate the terraforming device which would wipe out the whole planet. Matthew and the Advocate teleported up to the orbiting terraforming device and the Doctor followed in the TARDIS. As the Advocate tried to get Matthew to activate the terraforming device, he finally revealed his true allegiance to Lau'Tan. She shot him Matthew, and used his palm to activate the device. The conflict on the ground between the Terror Farmers and the Soul Free was brought to an instant end as the device began to destroy everything on the planet.

Robert Lewis was destroyed by the terraforming beam, while Emily was saved from the blast by Turlough’s diary. The force field around the colony ship couldn't be repaired, but Lau'Tan realised it could be replaced. He transformed himself into a device to replace the damaged component and restart the shields while Emily got everyone safely inside. Matthew distracted the Doctor, grabbed the Advocate and deactivated the terraforming controls, but it backfired. Both Matthew and the Advocate died instantly, but both their minds merged together into a fifth-dimensional being called Tef'Aree. The Tef'Aree previously gave the Earth colonists the terraforming technology, revived the Advocate and had generally manipulated events surrounding the Doctor, so that he could bring about his own creation. When the Doctor tried to scold the Tef'Aree, it vanished. Before deactivation, the terraforming beam destroyed the forcefield equipment, in turn, destroying Lau'Tan. However, many of the Soul Free and Terror Farmers were saved by his action, being protected by the forcefield. Eliza elected to remain and help to rebuild the planet, and build diplomatic relations between both factions. Upon discovering that the planet was called Terron V, he realised that both groups would unite, and eventually become the Terranites, who the Doctor fought in the form of Maximilian Love and Mr Leo Millar in Hollywood in 1926.

The Doctor took Professor Hugh and Emily back to 1906 Oxford in the TARDIS. There he explained that Annabella Primavera, like Emily, was a fixed point in time, but while Emily was supposed to have died, Annabella was supposed to have lived. Therefore, Emily had to live on Earth, and take her place to mend the web of time. Before she departed, Emily gave him Turlough's scorched diary, which he would later give to Barnaby Edwards, and the Doctor left for a trip to Mars. (COMIC: Final Sacrifice)

The prophecy unfolds
On his trip to Mars in 2059, the Doctor met the crew of Bowie Base One led by Adelaide Brooke, who he greatly admired. He knew the crew of Bowie Base One would die, as it was one of the most crucial events in humanity's expansion through the universe. He learned that the crew died due to the Flood, which possessed six of them. He was initially unwilling to interfere in events due to his belief that the event was a fixed point in time (Adelaide's death causing her grand daughter to be inspired and explore the stars), but he became integrated in the events of Bowie Base One. He attempted to leave, but his resistance towards helping was eroding fast as the screams of the Bowie Base crew reminded him of the billions of deaths he had lived through and what it had left him with. Enraged and driven mad by his power as the last of the Time Lords, he saved Adelaide and her last crew-members, Mia and Yuri, and took them back to Earth. Adelaide was furious at the Doctor's interference and scolded him for thinking himself above obeying history's course. Confident that the laws of time were his, the Doctor sent Adelaide home. In her home, she committed suicide: the events of Bowie Base One shaped the same timeline, but with Adelaide dying on Earth instead of Mars. Distraught at the results of his actions, he berated the impossible task of changing history and began to ponder his own end when a vision of Ood Sigma appeared before him. Crying, he fled into the TARDIS, the Cloister Bell ringing. Seething with self-hatred, he cried a defiant "No!", activated the TARDIS - and began running from his fate. (TV: The Waters of Mars)

Delaying the inevitable
The Doctor spent an unknown amount of time avoiding answering the Ood's summons, during which the Doctor saw the phosphorous carousel of the Great Magellan Gestadt, saved a planet from the Red Carnivorous Maw, named a galaxy, "Alison", and married Queen Elizabeth I, and then became her enemy. (TV: The End of Time, The Shakespeare Code)

The Doctor attended the funeral of his old UNIT partner, Brigadier-Lethbridge Stewart. (PROSE: The Gift)

The Doctor visited America in 1958, where he met waitress Cassie Rice and Jimmy Stalkingwolf. The Doctor examined a piece of "space junk" from a UFO crash. He accidentally activated it, drawing the attention of the android Alliance of Shades, led Mister Dread. Escaping, the Doctor, Cassie and Jimmy were attacked by a Viperox battle drone, which was promptly blown up by the United States military. The three were taken to Area 51. They encountered Colonel Stark, who dismissed the Doctor's warnings about the Viperox, and attempted to have the Doctor and his new friends mind-wiped. The attempt was unsuccessful, and the trio soon escaped, discovering a small grey alien along the way. They fled to the town of Solitude and took shelter in a deserted building. Jimmy was kidnapped by the Viperox. After tracking him down, the Doctor and Cassie found Jimmy in the presence of a Viperox Queen before escaping into the desert, where they were confronted by four members of the Alliance of Shades who were destroyed by Jimmy's father, Night Eagle. Eagle took them to Rivesh Mantilax, the husband of Seruba Velak, the alien captive in Area 51. Colonel Stark captured them all and took them back to Area 51. The Doctor and Rivesh escaped with the "space junk", which was actually a weapon capable of destroying the Viperox. He was cornered on the roof by the Colonel, but convinced him to turn against the Viperox. The Viperox invaded America but the Doctor managed to stop them with the TARDIS. Before they retreated, the Viperox commander Lord Azlok snarled, "Your day will come, Doctor!", reminding the Doctor of his ever-approaching fate. He departed soon after, leaving Cassie and Jimmy with the job of rebuilding the town following the Viperox attack and also encouraged them to start dating. (TV: Dreamland)

Following Princess Cilia's disappearance at the end of the Ulians' war with the Quintani, the Doctor chose to help. However, once the Doctor found Princess Cilia's ship, she wasn't on board. The Ulian robots on board attacked the Doctor, accidentally shrinking him to the size of a doll. The Ulian robots traced Princess Cilia to the approximate area, but only knew that she was in the vicinity of a Christmas tree. They sent shrunken-down versions of their robots, wrapped in Christmas packages to send to every doorstep on that region of Earth. The robots inadvertently shrunk down the Doctor and put him in a package.

Mason Valentin, having opened the package early, discovered the Doctor wasn't a doll, but a living being. As the Doctor awoke, he was dazed and suffered from amnesia. After learning of packages delivered all across Mason's area, the Doctor offered Mason to save the world with him. The Doctor and Mason went into Ana Comparetto's house, and the Doctor prematurely awoke a shrunken Ulian robot with the sonic screwdriver. The robot, thinking it had found the lost princess, transmatted Ana back to Cilia's ship. The Doctor and Mason used the robot's "magic wand" to fire a transmat beam to board the ship.

On board the ship, the Doctor released Ana from her cell. The Doctor, remembering what had happened to the princess, told the robots that Ana wasn't the princess, and though their methods of tracking the princess were scrambled, he could find her easily. The Doctor was brought back to full size and returned Mason and Ana to Earth in the TARDIS. The Doctor discovered Cilia in one house disguised as a fairy on a Christmas tree. Ana told Cilia the war was over, and the Doctor told her to order the robots to send her back to Ulian Alpha. Reminded of an earlier conversation about The Snowman, the Doctor realised: "I'm the Snowman and...time's up." (PROSE: The Doctor on My Shoulder)

The Time Lords return
After meeting with the Ood on Ood Sphere, the Doctor was told that a shadow was falling across creation, which was somehow connected to his former companion, Donna Noble and her grandad Wilfred Mott. He also learnt of a plot to resurrect his arch-enemy,, and failed to stop it. The Doctor discovered the Master living in the wastelands of London. He tried to confront him, only to be reunited with Wilf. That night, the Doctor tracked down the Master once again, only for the Master to be abducted by billionare Joshua Naismith's private army, and when the Doctor attempted to stop them, he was shot down.

After he recovered, the Doctor contacted Wilf, who informed him of Naismith and went with him in the TARDIS to the Naismith Manor. In the Manor's basement, the Doctor used his sonic screwdriver to unveil two Vinvocci, Addams and Rossiter, who informed him of the Immortality Gate's true purpose. The Doctor rushed to stop the Gate's activation, but was unable to, and the Master turned the entire human race into copies of himself.

After being taken prisoner, Wilf and the Doctor were rescued by the Vinvocci, who took them to their ship in Earth's orbit, which the Doctor took offline to stop the Master finding them. Realising the Master was planning to rescue the Time Lords from the Time War using the White-Point Star, the Doctor took the gun he initially refused from Wilf and piloted the Vinvocci ship back towards the Naismith Manor, where he crashed through the manor's glass roof. However, he was unable to stop the Master from using the Star and the signal from his own insanity to create a link to Gallifrey, which allowed Lord Rassilon and the High Council to escape Gallifrey.

Rassilon undid the Master's conversion of the human race, as Gallifrey appeared in the Earth's sky and began tearing open the time vortex. Torn between killing the Master or Rassilon in cold blood, the Doctor, upon seeing a familiar face, targeted the White-Point Star, severing the link, which saw him, for the second time, condemn the Time Lords to the "hell" of the last day of the Time War. Rassilon tried to kill the Doctor, but he was saved by the most unlikely person - the Master, who attacked Rassilon with his energy blasts, which resulted in the Master being sent "back into hell", along with the Time Lords. (TV: The End of Time)

A prophecy fulfilled
With the Time Lords and the Master gone, the Doctor was relieved that he had survived his supposed death at Rassilon's hands, but his victory was short-lived when he heard the four knocks. Wilf was trapped inside a radiation control booth which was about to be flooded with radiation. Despite his own anger about the terrible things the universe rewarded him with and Wilf's pleas to leave him, he released Wilf and took his place, receiving a fatal level of radiation. The Doctor's regenerative process had started. Unlike previous occasions, however, the actual regeneration did not immediately occur, and the Doctor was able to not only return Wilf home, but spend an unknown length of time travelling through time and space revisiting his past companions, an act he referred to as his "reward".

The Doctor visited Martha Jones and Mickey Smith, now freelance alien fighters and married, saving them from a Sontaran. He went to Bannerman Road where he prevented Luke Smith from being run over by a car and waved goodbye to Sarah Jane Smith, as he had promised on their last meeting. He travelled to a bar where Jack Harkness was drowning his sorrows after losing his Torchwood team. He passed a note to Jack reading, "His name is Alonso". Jack turned to see Midshipman Alonso Frame, whom the Doctor had worked with aboard the starship Titanic, and the Doctor departed as the two began flirting. The Doctor went to a bookstore where Verity Newman, the granddaughter of Joan Redfern, was signing copies of her book, A Journal of Impossible Things, (TV: The End of Time) which was based on the journal the Doctor had written during his time as John Smith. (TV: Human Nature) The Doctor had Verity sign his copy, and she realised he was the man who her grandmother fell in love with. The Doctor asked Verity if Joan had been happy in the end which she confirmed, but he refused to answer her question of if he was. He then encountered Donna's father Geoff Noble before the man's death, and borrowed a pound from him. He then went to the future and used that pound to purchase a winning lottery ticket. He witnessed Donna Noble's wedding to Shaun Temple, and asked Sylvia Noble and Wilf to give Donna the triple rollover-winning ticket as a wedding gift, saying a final goodbye to Wilfred, who was left crying at the Doctor's loneliness and impending death. (TV: The End of Time) The Doctor also visited Heather McCrimmon and Wolfgang Ryter, four years after they had left him (COMIC: Lucky Heather) The Doctor watched UNIT companion Jo Grant sail down the Yangtze River in a tea chest and watched over her large family, consisting of 7 children and 13 grandchildren. He visited all of his former companions from all of his ten incarnations, seeing how they got on after they left the TARDIS. (TV: Death of the Doctor)

After finishing his long "reward", he travelled to the Powell Estate, on 1 January, 2005, where he watched Rose Tyler and her mother, Jackie Tyler, months before Rose first met him. Although he kept to the shadows, a sudden spasm of pain caught Rose's attention and the two exchanged New Year's greetings, with the Doctor telling Rose that she would have a "really great year" with tears in his eyes as he spoke. (TV: The End of Time)

After Rose left, the pain of regeneration overwhelmed him and he collapsed in the middle of the Powell estate, which was, ironically, the first place his current incarnation visited. Ood Sigma then appeared and told him that while his song was ending, his ancient story never would, and that the universe would sing him to his sleep. Reaching the TARDIS, he piloted it into orbit around Earth, and stated, "I don't want to go." Taking a deep breath, the Doctor closed his eyes and regenerated into his eleventh incarnation. This time the energy released during the regeneration was enough to cause massive damage to the TARDIS. (TV: The End of Time)

Undated/unchronicled events

 * The Doctor once commented that he, Rose Tyler, and an Arcturan had an interesting experience in a cellar. (AUDIO: The Day of the Troll)
 * The Tenth Doctor and Martha Jones searched for the Infinite, a spaceship also sought by Baltazar. (TV: The Infinite Quest)
 * The Doctor rescued Charlemagne from an insane computer. (TV: The Unicorn and the Wasp, PROSE: The Lonely Computer)

Donna's World
In a parallel timeline in which Donna Noble never met the Doctor, and was not there to convince him to flee after defeating the Empress of the Racnoss, this incarnation of the Doctor was the last, as he drowned when the Thames was drained into an abandoned Torchwood base, dying too quickly to regenerate. As a result, the countless threats the Doctor faced afterwards with Martha all consumed London and his old companions, including Martha, Sarah Jane Smith and Jack Harkness's Torchwood team, died trying to save Earth, creating chaos on Earth. His former companion, Rose Tyler, along with the alternate timeline version of Donna, eventually restored the original timeline. (TV: Turn Left)

Personality
This incarnation was very cheerful, charismatic and enthusiastic, often at inappropriate times even in danger, much like his next incarnation. (TV: Tooth and Claw) While previous incarnations intentionally flouted social conventions, the tenth incarnation was genuinely shocked when he realised that he was being rude or uncouth. He occasionally got into trouble because of an apparent sense of superiority over those less "clever" than he was. (TV: Midnight) He regularly used his name as a threat, which only rarely worked, despite his apparent expectations. (TV: New Earth)

The tenth incarnation retained and even exceeded his last incarnation's capacity for righteous anger, particularly when Rose was threatened or at risk. (TV: The Idiot's Lantern) When driven by anger or justice, he would act without hesitation to strike down those who opposed him, causing the downfall of Harriet Jones for, as he saw it, mass murder. (TV: The Christmas Invasion) There was an undeniable shadow cast over his geniality at these times, and an intimidating, almost dangerous anger would emerge.

While he seemed to have resolved much of the survivor's guilt felt previously, the Doctor had begun to feel his age. Beneath his youthful veneer and outward playfulness was a very old man who had seen many terrible things. He felt a deep loneliness. (TV: The Lazarus Experiment) His keen sense of loss led him to empathise with those who had also suffered. Sarah Jane Smith tried to comfort him by saying that although he acted like a lonely man he had the biggest family in the world, referring to the many companions the Doctor had picked up on his travels. (TV: Journey's End)

This incarnation had a very forgiving nature, consistently extending an offer to help even his most dangerous enemies before putting a stop to their evil deeds. (TV: Evolution of the Daleks) He also forgave for all the atrocities he committed while ruling the Earth. These acts included turning his TARDIS into a paradox machine, torturing his companions for pleasure, killing at least one tenth of the human race and turning him into an incredibly ancient man. (TV: Last of the Time Lords) However when his patience reached its limit or they were duplicitous, his enemies got no second chance, as he said shortly after defeating the leader of the Sycorax. (TV: The Christmas Invasion) When he ran from the Family of Blood, he was showing them mercy, saving them from his rage. When they continued to hunt him, killing innocent people and separating him from John Smith's love interest, Joan Redfern, the Doctor's mercy reached its end and he gave each member of the Family of Blood an eternal punishment, fulfilling their wish for immortality in a twisted way. (TV: The Family of Blood) Donna later linked this mercy to his travelling with Martha. The Doctor agreed with this assessment.

The Doctor had a very hard time accepting defeat or failure. Having seen so much destruction and death he felt driven to prevent it where possible. River Song thought that if he lost this trait, the universe would become a darker place. (TV: Forest of the Dead)

On their first meeting, Donna Noble noted the reason the Doctor required so many companions was to keep him from succumbing to his darker side. (TV: The Runaway Bride) After losing Donna to a meta-crisis, the Doctor chose to travel alone to avoid getting his heart broken again. This time spent alone ultimately resulted in his succumbing to the pain and anger in his heart and breaking the laws of time. (TV: The Waters of Mars)

The tenth incarnation engaged in romantic situations far more frequently than his predecessors. Like his ninth incarnation, the Tenth Doctor was in love with Rose Tyler and was heartbroken by her loss. (TV: Doomsday) However he never actually stated his feelings for Rose. (TV: The Satan Pit, Doomsday) In the end it was the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor that revealed the Doctor's feelings for her and since the Meta-Crisis Doctor was almost identical to the original Doctor, albeit a bit more violent and with some of Donna Noble's personality traits, as well as the fact that he possessed all of the original Doctor's memories, it is almost certain that the original Doctor felt the same way. Others tried to engage him romantically, including Madame de Pompadour, Joan Redfern (albeit while he was John Smith), Martha Jones, Astrid Peth, River Song and Christina de Souza. (TV: The Girl in the Fireplace, Human Nature/The Family of Blood, Voyage of the Damned, Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead, Planet of the Dead) The Doctor reciprocated all of their advances except Martha's, Christina's and River's, whose relationship was unknown to him.

This incarnation refused to take up a weapon against an enemy. While previous incarnations had, the tenth incarnation would not, repeatedly refusing even when offered one by UNIT while attacking the Sontarans. (TV: The Poison Sky) Davros mentioned his refusal to take up a gun, but pointed out that he "turned his companions into weapons." (TV: Journey's End) After initially refusing several times to take up Wilfred Mott's pistol to save himself and humanity from, the Doctor changed his mind when he heard that Rassilon and the Time Lords were returning. (TV: The End of Time)

This incarnation always attempted to solve a situation without violence. He tried to settle a dispute with the Sycorax without killing their leader, until the leader betrayed his promise. He banished the Sycorax from Earth with the message that it was defended. He was angered when Torchwood destroyed the ship afterwards. (TV: The Christmas Invasion) The Doctor also tried to help the Dalek survivors in New York find a new world for themselves rather than fight to the death, almost succeeding until the Daleks turned against Dalek Sec. Even when only Dalek Caan was left, he tried to find a peaceful solution. (TV: Evolution of the Daleks) He also tried to get the Sontarans to leave peacefully after their plan was foiled, but they refused. Luke Rattigan killed them in place of the Doctor. (TV: The Poison Sky) Later, the Doctor tried to find a way to solve the Master Race crisis without killing the Master. When the Time Lords returned, he took a gun into the situation and felt forced to choose between killing Rassilon or the Master. He found another way, using the gun to destroy the White-Point Star diamond, breaking the link allowing the escape of the Time Lords from the time lock. Ultimately, his choice to shatter the link, ending the chance to bring them back, shows that in the time since, even through his pain at that loss, the Tenth Doctor still felt that he has done the right thing with his actions in ending the Last Great Time War. (TV: The End of Time)

This incarnation had a great respect for humanity, as well as a great desire to protect it, often noting their importance. When Wilfred Mott said that humanity must look like insects to the Doctor, the Doctor responded that he thought they looked like giants. He respected Wilfred, thinking of him as a kindred spirit for being old yet energetic and unwilling to kill others. The Doctor also felt honoured to know Wilfred would be proud to have actually been his father.

Towards the end of his life, this incarnation was terrified of his predicted death, going on all sorts of adventures to circumvent or delay it, but ended up choosing to sacrifice himself to save his friend, Wilfred Mott. (TV: The End of Time)

The Tenth Doctor considered his sixth incarnation to be chubby, showing that he was only deluding himself into thinking he wasn't during that life. (PROSE: The Krillitane Storm)

Habits and quirks
The Doctor was an aficionado of twentieth century culture and made frequent references to movies, shows, and songs from that era, including the Ghostbusters theme, (TV: Army of Ghosts) the song "Circle of Life" from The Lion King, (TV: The Christmas Invasion) and one of Kylie Minogue's songs, "Never Too Late". (TV: The Idiot's Lantern) He had also read the Harry Potter books, noting that he cried reading the seventh book. (TV: The Shakespeare Code) Even though he knew so much of pop culture, he did not understand certain remarks, such as being called a "science geek". (TV: The Lazarus Experiment) He was fond of rock and roll, trying to take Rose to see concerts by both Ian Dury and Elvis Presley. (TV: Tooth and Claw, The Idiot's Lantern)

He often remarked that exotic technology or life was "beautiful" or "brilliant" and was genuinely enthralled by such discoveries, sometimes to the extent that he placed himself or his companions in danger. (TV: Midnight) When this incarnation was faced with an occurrence that dumbfounded him he would repeatedly say, "What?", looking increasingly astonished with each repetition. (TV: Doomsday, Last of the Time Lords) While attempting to explain something he would often interrupt himself with a "Well..." and further elaborate what it was he was talking about. (TV: Blink, et al) The Doctor also made use of the phrase, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry", mainly talking to persons he knew were about to die and whom he could not save. (TV: Army of Ghosts) Other favoured phrases were "Allons-y!" (TV: Army of Ghosts) and "Molto bene." (TV: Voyage of the Damned) Like his seventh incarnation, he also often responded, "I'm always all right", even when all evidence pointed to the contrary. (TV: The Girl in the Fireplace, Forest of the Dead)

He also demonstrated an ability of his fifth incarnation, which was being able to determine the properties of an object by taste. (TV: The Christmas Invasion, The Idiot's Lantern, Tooth and Claw, Utopia, The Fires of Pompeii, The Sontaran Stratagem, The Unicorn and the Wasp, Planet of the Dead) He also possessed a heightened sense of smell, which could be used to track other Time Lords, such as. (TV: The End of Time)

Until they left his life, he continued his previous incarnation's habit of mildly mocking both Mickey and Jackie, though generally in a more obviously playful fashion. (TV: The Christmas Invasion, Rise of the Cybermen, Army of Ghosts) The Doctor also prodded at Jack after they reunited, resuming his habit of telling Jack to "stop it" whenever he said hello to someone, which was his telltale way of flirting with them. Jack later told the Doctor he had become "cheeky" with this new regeneration. (TV: Utopia)

The tenth incarnation of the Doctor was a bit of a foodie, having a fondness for many types of food and drink. He had a fondness for bananas like his predecessor (TV: The Girl in the Fireplace) and expressed a fondness for tea. (TV: The Christmas Invasion) He also liked edible ball bearings, stating that they were a "masterpiece". (TV: Fear Her) He often talked about favourite foods and recipes, and wasn't afraid to try something new, such as seaweed truffles. (PROSE: Martha in the Mirror) His companions were sometimes dumbfounded and bemused by his eating habits. (PROSE: The Nightmare of Black Island, TV:The Lazarus Experiment)

The Doctor had a stated fondness for "little shops", the gift stores usually found in hospitals and other public places, though he retained a great dislike for hospitals, understandably. Not only had his seventh incarnation been killed at one by accident, this incarnation had a very close call in another. (TV: New Earth, Silence in the Library, TV: Doctor Who'')

This incarnation of the Doctor relied heavily upon his sonic screwdriver, pushing it to limits not seen in previous incarnations and even chiding his fifth incarnation for going "hands free". (TV: Time Crash) He also continued to heavily use the psychic paper. (TV New Earth, The Idiot's Lantern, The Unicorn and the Wasp) Like previous selves, he appeared to have the ability to carry a large and diverse number of objects in his pockets, stating once that they were bigger on the inside. (TV: The Runaway Bride, The Shakespeare Code, The Doctor's Daughter)

He also revived the occasional use of a stethoscope, like his second incarnation in mostly non-medical situations, such as the diagnosis of electronic or mechanical faults. (TV: Fury from the Deep, Rise of the Cybermen, The Stolen Earth) He used his hammer many times during this incarnation, to knock out Sontarans and even pilot the TARDIS. (TV: The Runaway Bride, The End of Time)

As in some prior incarnations, he disliked being called "Doc". He told Jimmy Stalkingwolf, "Are you gonna stop calling me Doc? I'm the Doctor, alright, and you're not Bugs Bunny." (TV: Dreamland)

He had been given a mobile phone by Martha, when she left him as his companion, that he carried with him in his travels. (TV: Last of the Time Lords) At some point he upgraded it to a superphone, as the number was later used to contact him anywhere in space and time. (TV: The Sontaran Stratagem, The Stolen Earth) As his previous incarnation had with Rose Tyler's phone, this incarnation also upgraded the mobile phones of his later companions in order to facilitate communication with their families and with the Doctor. Both Martha Jones and Donna Noble's phones were modified and, like Rose's mother, their close relatives were able to communicate through time and space as a result. (TV: The Stolen Earth)

He also followed the trend of his immediate predecessors in displaying increasing skill for using the TARDIS, on several occasions even using it in the form of a standard spaceship rather than simply dematerialising it every time. (TV: The Runaway Bride, Partners in Crime) He was told by a future companion, River Song, that he would one day be able to command the TARDIS door to open with a snap of his fingers. Initially, he believed this to be nonsense, but later found that he did possess such abilities. (TV: Forest of the Dead)

The Doctor often did math calculations in his head very quickly. This included making an estimate, waiting for those around him to respond, then giving a very exact answer. (TV: Voyage of the Damned) For food, he hated pears and (like his sixth life) carrots.

Skills and abilities
Although the Doctor disliked violence, he was skilled with a sword, managing to defeat the Sycorax leader when the Sycorax invaded Earth. Although he tried to avoid using one, initially refusing to take Wilfred's, only doing so when he found out about the Star and the Time Lords returning, the Doctor was also an extremely good shot with a gun, being able to shoot the White Point Star, which was a very small target, in order to close the Time Lock that surrounded the Time War. (TV: The Christmas Invasion, The End of Time)

The Doctor was also incredibly resilient and showed an amazing resistance to physical pain, being unfazed when the Sycorax leader sliced off his hand (although this was partly because he was still regenerating at the time) and enduring the burning pain of having a living star possessing him, in addition to surviving when Martha Jones attempted to freeze the star out of him. (TV: 42) He also took a powerful blast of electricity from and was able to get to his feet (albeit with some difficulty) after jumping out of a ship and falling through a skylight. Surviving the fall without activating regeneration is especially notable since his fourth incarnation regenerated after a considerably shorter fall, showing that the Tenth Doctor really did have exceptional physical endurance. He was able to absorb the 500 rads of nuclear energy and survive as well, although it was the final straw for his body and triggered regeneration, He also refused to allow the pain of his regeneration to overwhelm him until he was back in the TARDIS after visiting his companions. (TV: Logopolis, The End of Time)

Given his height and build, it was not surprising the Doctor was extremely nimble and quick on his feet, and loved running. (TV: The Doctor's Daughter)

Like all his other incarnations, the Doctor was exceptionally intelligent, being able to figure out solutions to problems even when they were created by a person who had an equal amount of intelligence such as the Master. (TV: Last of the Time Lords) He also demonstrated an ability of his fifth incarnation, which was being able to determine the properties of an object by taste. (TV: The Christmas Invasion, The Idiot's Lantern, Tooth and Claw, Utopia, The Fires of Pompeii, The Sontaran Stratagem, The Unicorn and the Wasp, Planet of the Dead) He also possessed a heightened sense of smell, which could be used to track other Time Lords, such as the Master, or tell which time period they were in just by smelling the air. (TV: The End of Time,The Unicorn and the Wasp) He was skilled at mechanics and built K9 Mark IV, ensuring that it possessed all the memories it had as K9 Mark III. By using a Chameleon Arch, he rewrote his biology, storing Non-human characteristics in a fob watch and turning himself into a human. He also locked the coordinates of the TARDIS with his sonic screwdriver so that it could only travel to two places in time and space; the end of the universe and 2008. (TV: School Reunion, Human Nature, The Family of Blood, Utopia, The Sound of Drums)

The Doctor also showed an impressive amount of control over his regeneration ability, more so than previous incarnations. He was able to heal himself after being shot by a Dalek and then stop himself from changing his form by channelling the regeneration energy into his severed hand. (TV: Journey's End) He was also able to resist regenerating long enough to visit all the friends he had made in that incarnation and at least some of the friends he had made in other incarnations. When he finally did regenerate however, he did it so violently that the TARDIS was badly damaged and had to repair herself. This was because he had held the regeneration energy at bay for so long that it all exploded out of him in one go, causing it to be more devastating the usual. (TV: The End of Time)

The Doctor was also a skilled telepath, being able to use it to wipe Donna Noble's memories of him. He had enough skill with telepathy to hide his true name from anyone who could read minds. When the Master used telepathy on him, the Doctor was also able to hear the drumming inside his head, having previously thought that the Master was just imagining it due to his insanity. (TV: The Girl in the Fireplace, The Shakespeare Code, Journey's End, The End of Time)

The Doctor was able to channel radiation through a body part into his own clothing, although the radiated body part was described by him as being "itchy." However he could only do this with a small amount of radiation and the radiation he absorbed to save Wilfred Mott was too much for him and forced him to regenerate. (TV: Smith and Jones, The End of Time)

After his adventure with River Song in the Library, the Doctor showed the ability to open and close the TARDIS simply by clicking his fingers, which he had previously thought was impossible. (TV: Forest of the Dead)

Appearance
The Tenth Doctor was a handsome man with a tall, slim frame, finely boned hands and face, dark brown hair, pale skin and dark brown eyes. (TV: Children in Need Special) While he was possessed by Cassandra at New New York Hospital, Cassandra stated that he was "slim and a little bit foxy." (TV: New Earth)

Grooming and hair
The tenth incarnation was happy to have sideburns and to have more hair than his previous incarnation, whose hair was very close-cut. (TV: Children in Need Special) Though he initially seemed disappointed at not being ginger, he came to take great pride in his dark brown hair, wearing it in various ways throughout his adventures. He would wear it un-styled, (TV: The Christmas Invasion) in a fifties-style quiff, (TV: The Idiot's Lantern) or flattened forwards. (TV: The Runaway Bride) Like his previous incarnations, he went clean-shaven.

He had the habit of running his hands through it when particularly frustrated by a situation (TV: Human Nature etc.)

Clothes
For the early minutes of his tenth life, the Doctor continued to wear the clothes his previous incarnation had on at the time of his regeneration. After arriving in London and collapsing, he was placed in a set of pyjamas and a dressing gown, which he kept until he chose a new outfit at the end of his first adventure. (TV: Children in Need Special, The Christmas Invasion)

This incarnation had several variations of dress. He had two main suits, a dark brown suit with blue pinstripes and a blue suit with red pinstripes. On rare occasions, he would also don a bow tie and tuxedo. (TV: Rise of the Cybermen, The Age of Steel, The Lazarus Experiment, Voyage of the Damned)

Under his suits he usually wore a shirt and a tie, or wore an open-necked shirt with a t-shirt underneath. He had a red-hued t-shirt, a brown t-shirt or a purple t-shirt. Both brown and blue suits were often accompanied by a light brown Duster-type overcoat, which the Doctor claimed had been given to him by Janis Joplin. (TV: Gridlock)

The Meta-Crisis Doctor wore the Doctor's blue suit after his creation, and was wearing it when the walls of the universe sealed him in a parallel world. (TV: Journey's End) Nevertheless, the Doctor subsequently wore a blue suit afterwards, implying he had more than one. (TV: The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith, TV: The Waters of Mars)

His footwear choices were trainers, more specifically, Converse All Stars. (TV: ''The Family of Blood) He varied the colours from cream white to go with his brown suit, black for wearing with black tie and on a few occasion with his brown suit, or red to go with the blue suit.

Another part of the Doctor's attire was a pair of dark tortoise-shell rectangular frame glasses, which he called "brainy specs". Although he wore them on numerous occasions, he later pointed out to an earlier incarnation they didn't need them and simply used them because they made him look clever. (TV: Time Crash) At one time, the Doctor used his sonic screwdriver to darken the lenses to effectively turn them into sunglasses. (TV: Planet of the Dead)

His favourite variation of dress seemed to be his brown suit with blue pinstripes, a light blue shirt, a tie and cream ankle-high Converse All Star shoes.

Lifespan
The Ninth Doctor stated that he was 900 year old at some point after beginning his travels with Rose. (TV: Aliens of London) The Tenth Doctor stated his age at 903 shortly after Martha left. (TV: Voyage of the Damned) Given his stated age of 906 just prior to his regeneration in (TV: The End of Time), this incarnation lived for less than 7 years. His next incarnation gave his age as 907 early in his adventures. (TV: Flesh and Stone) However, there are some accounts that suggest his stated tally may not be correct. (TV: The Infinite Quest)

Costuming
David Tennant described his costume "geek chic." According to an interview on Parkinson, Tennant and Russell T Davies got the idea for the tenth incarnation's costume from an outfit Jamie Oliver had worn on Parkinson just after Tennant had taken the role of the Doctor.

According to costume designer Louise Page, there were only four sets of the brown suit in existence, as they were pieced together from many copies of a pin-striped pair of trousers that Tennant picked out during the initial costuming process. His overcoat was made from sofa covering and there was one version that had five inches from the bottom cut off then sewn back on, as Davies and Phil Collinson had different ideas about how long it should be.

After leaving the series, David Tennant kept his costume for possible future use, stating that he would gladly return for a multi-Doctor special should he ever be asked to participate in one. (DCOM: The End of Time)

The Brilliant Book
According to the non-narrative source REF: The Brilliant Book 2011, the Doctor was searching for Sontaran grenades in 1895. During his search, he came across his old friend Winston Churchill.
