Eleventh Doctor

The Eleventh Doctor was the eleventh incarnation of the renegade Time Lord known as the Doctor. Although he was very alien compared to his previous incarnation, he retained his vigour for defending the Universe. He had a more eccentric personality than his previous self and had been noted by many to by quite weird and strange. The Elevnth Doctor has also shown to be a little calmer than as he was in his tenth incarnation, for his 'dark side' is generally unseen. He married River Song, making him the son-in-law of companions Amy Pond and Rory Williams.

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

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

Regeneration
After absorbing a vast amount of radiation, the Doctor's tenth incarnation regenerated in his TARDIS. The energy released by the regeneration caused great damage to the TARDIS.

Addled by the regeneration, the new incarnation did not immediately realise the TARDIS was on fire and about to crash. When he did, he seemed to enjoy the thrill of the moment, gleefully calling out "Geronimo!" as his TARDIS plummeted to Earth. (DW: The End of Time)

Alone no more
Crashing on Earth, the Doctor met Amelia Pond, a lonely little Scottish girl with a mysterious crack in her bedroom wall. An alien called Prisoner Zero had escaped from a prison on its other side. Before he could investigate further, the cloister bell brought him back to the TARDIS.

The Doctor promised Amelia he would return in five minutes and have her travel with him. Due to the damaged engines, the Doctor arrived twelve years later.The Doctor persuaded her to help him capture Prisoner Zero for the Atraxi, the alternative being Earth's incineration. After detaining Prisoner Zero and stealing a new outfit, the Doctor took a short trip to the moon before returning to Amy and inviting her to join him on his travels. It took him two years. Unknown to him, the Doctor had arrived the night before her wedding. He agreed to return her to the next morning. (DW: The Eleventh Hour)

Early Travels with Amy and Rory
For their first trip, the Doctor took Amy to the late 32nd century on the Starship UK, where they saved a Star Whale from the unintended cruelty of the ship's inhabitants. While preparing to leave the Doctor got a phone call from Winston Churchill. Amy and he headed off to World War II London. (DW: The Beast Below)

Arriving a month after the call, the Doctor and Amy met Churchill. Along with him were two Dalek survivors of the War in the Medusa Cascade, pretending to aid Britain in the war against the Nazis. The Doctor fell into a trap when trying to prove the Daleks were evil and unwittingly allowed them to use a Progenitor device to rebuild their race. Forced to choose between saving the Earth and destroying the Daleks, the Doctor chose the Earth and let the Daleks escape. (DW: Victory of the Daleks)

The Doctor and Amy saved London from the Space Leeches by leading them to his TARDIS to take them to another planet. (DWA: Attack of the Space Leeches!)

The Doctor and Amy travelled to the Blue Boar Services in 1959, where they tricked a gang of teenage Petrolions by waiting until they ran out of fuel and changing the direction of the fuel, taking the Petrolions off of their bikes. The Doctor ordered them back to their home planet. (DWA: Madness on the M1!) Meeting River Song for the second time, the Doctor was led into another deadly adventure involving an army of Weeping Angels. The Doctor found a growing crack in time. A scan revealed to have been caused by a very large explosion, cracking all of time and space. The Doctor tricked the Angels into falling into the crack in time. (DW: The Time of Angels / Flesh and Stone)

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

After Rory agreed to travel with the Doctor and Amy permanently, the trio had many adventures: visiting Geath and becoming involed in an ancient civil war; (NSA: The King's Dragon) defeating the Tahnn in 1938; (NSA: The Glamour Chase); saving a farmer from a giant fly in 21st century Kenya (DWAN: Buzz!). They also fell into the traps of the Dream Lord, a manifestation of the Doctor's dark side caused by Psychic pollen. The Doctor defeated the Dream Lord by solving his puzzle of which reality was real, but feared that the dark entity still dwelled deep within his psyche, waiting for another game. (DW: Amy's Choice)

Landing in Cwmtaff, Wales by error, the Doctor found a drilling operation had disturbed a Silurian city and its inhabitants were retaliating. Capturing a Silurian for a bargaining chip, the Doctor tried to strike a treaty between humans and the Silurians. However, the humans p did not trust the Silurians due to their hostile military commander, Restac. The Doctor asked the Silurian leader, Eldane, to put the civilians to sleep for a thousand years while humanity had a chance to prepare for the Silurian. On the way out of the Silurian habitat, the Doctor found another crack and fished a piece of shrapnel from the explosion out of it. Rory took a blast from a dying Restac meant for the Doctor. The Doctor left Rory's body behind to be absorbed by the crack. He tried to help Amy to remember Rory before he was erased from history, but failed. Alone, the Doctor examined the peice of shrapnel he fished out of the crack. It was part of the TARDIS's outer shell. (DW: The Hungry Earth / Cold Blood)

The Doctor and Amy discovered the Daleks destroyed the human race in 1963, using the Eye of Time to alter history. Following them back to Skaro, they used the Eye to undo the damage by preventing the Daleks from ever using it. (VG: City of the Daleks)

In 2010, the Doctor and Amy discovered an ancient Cyberman army trapped underground at GSO Arctic Drilling Station in the Arctic circle, being dug up by Cyberslaves, cyborgs created by a Cybermat nanovirus. They found a cure for the Cyberslave virus and blew up the Cybermen. (VG: Blood of the Cybermen)

The Doctor and Amy visited Smyslov 3 for the first time, and learnt their future selves had already visited. (WC: Wish You Were Here) The Doctor and Amy fought the Entity inside the TARDIS. (VG: TARDIS)

The Doctor continued to their intended vacation spot, Poseidon 8, and discovered it was under attack by a Zaralok and occupied by the Vashta Nerada. He traced the appearance of the Shark and the Vashta Nerada to a World War II era warship, the USS Eldridge, deactivated a malfunctioning cloaking device. Hereturned the Shark and Vashta Nerada to their proper timelines. Still feeling guily over not being able to help Amy remember Rory, the Doctor took her to visit nice places, but was challenged to save Vincent van Gogh from a Krafayis, a beast only Vincent could see. The Doctor and Vincent's battle with the Krafayis resulted in the creature's death. The Doctor took Vincent an art gallery, wher the painter was able to see just how much people would care about his work. (DW: Vincent and the Doctor)

The Doctor and Amy encountered Hubert Crimp, a slave trader, at the Trans-Vegas Casino. They freed all of his slaves and won all his money, giving it to his ex-slaves. (DWAN: Winning Hand) Hereturned books to the Library, where they encountered Book Monsters. Amy and he discovered they needed to feed them stories, and they were saved by telling them a story about Space Wolves and Sky Sheep. (DWAN: Booked Up) After this, he solved the problem of the TARDIS' arrival sound annoying the inhabitants by muffling the noise with a fire extinguisher. (DWAN: Bad Vibrations)

The Doctor took Amy to the planet Caligaris Epsilon Six, where he fought the Serpentines and searched for Elim's sister, Aurelia. (IDW: A Fairytale Life)

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

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

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

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

The Doctor met Kazran Sardick, who refused to help him save Amy, Rory and four thousand one other passengers on a crashing starliner. He used time travel to alter Kazran's life, hoping to change him into a better person by allowing him to live with his love, Abigail Pettigrew. Though it was unsuccessful at first, the Doctor succeeded after showing child Kazran the cruel person he would become. Kazran became a better man and saved his friends. (DW: A Christmas Carol)

After Rory accidentally caused it to falter, the Doctor's TARDIS materialised within itself. The Doctor at first thought they were trapped for eternity in the TARDIS, but he soon found that the outer shell of the TARDIS let one travel a short time into the TARDIS's past. Using the time differences, the Doctor fixed the space loop by telling himself what to do. (DW: Space / Time)

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

Three months later, the Doctor was interned at Area 51 while Canton feigned hunting down Amy, The Doctor captured a Silent and drove it to utter the words "you should kill us all on sight". The Doctor recorded this and spliced it into the footage of the 1969 Moon landing, planting a post-hypnotic order in the minds of every human who would ever watch the footage. With the defeat of the Silence assured, the Doctor set off for new adventures with Amy and Rory after returning River to Stormcage after she kissed him, to his pleasure and confusion. (DW: Day of the Moon)

Travelling with Amy and Rory again
The TARDIS received a distress signal, leading the Doctor, Amy and Rory to a pirate ship, the Fancy, in the seventeenth century. The Doctor learned the pirates were being terrorised by a "Siren". After the whole crew and Rory had been taken by the Siren, it turned out she was a virtual physician from an invisible and intangible spaceship that occupied the same space as the Fancy. The Fancy's crew took over the spaceship to give the Siren someone to look after. (DW: The Curse of the Black Spot) Following an apparent distress message from another surviving Time Lord, the Doctor left the universe to go to a sentient planetoid called House in a bubble universe. The Matrix of the Doctor's TARDIS was placed in Idris. From the remnants of other TARDISes they built a new one and piloted it into the Doctor's. When Idris died, the Matrix was released back into the TARDIS, where it drove out House, who had taken control in its absence. The Doctor learned he had not stolen his TARDIS by chance; it had wanted to leave Gallifrey as much as he did. (DW: The Doctor's Wife)

The Doctor and his companions crash-landed in the 22nd century when a solar tsunami struck the TARDIS. They found a factory mining acid, and were captured by the factory's workers for trespassing. Miranda Cleaves, the factory's boss, showed the time travellers a vat of a substance known as "The Flesh", which created clones (known as Gangers) of the workers to work in hazardous environments. A follow-up storm allowed the Gangers to function on their own. The Doctor saw no difference between Ganger and human. He tried to bring them together in peace, but each party wished to destroy the other While hiding from hostile Ganger in the factory, the Doctor met a Ganger of himself. (DW: The Rebel Flesh) He got along well with his copy. To see if Amy could get along with his double, the Doctor and his Ganger switched their shoes, the only way to distinguish them. The Doctor's plan nearly backfired when the workers treated him poorly. After winning the other Gangers over, the Doctor tried to evacuate everyone from the soon-to-explode island. However, Jennifer Lucas' ganger tried to kill them. The Doctor left his Ganger to revert the Flesh at the cost of his own life. After setting up a conference for Ganger rights, the Doctor revealed Amy was actually a Ganger. Promising Amy that he and Rory would find her, he dissolved her. (DW: The Almost People)

Reunions and truths
The Doctor spent a month collecting on old debts from people of various races and times, putting together an army to rescue Amy and her new baby, Melody Pond. After masquerading as a headless monk to cause chaos amongst the Church and their allies, the Doctor won the battle without bloodshed in under four minutes. This ended up being a trap set by Madame Kovarian, who escaped with the real Melody after dissolving the Ganger she had left in her place. River appeared and revealed herself as Melody Pond. His hope renewed, the Doctor left to find and save her from Kovarian while River returned his friends to their proper times. (DW: A Good Man Goes to War) After Amy and Rory had waited "all summer", the Doctor, failing to find Melody, noticed a newspaper showing a "crop circle" of his name. Amy and Rory waited for him.Their childhood friend Mels demanded at gunpoint the Doctor take her to kill Adolf Hitler. The Doctor crashed the TARDIS into a humanoid ship called the Teselecta piloted by miniaturised time travellers who wished to take Hitler from near the end of his timeline and punish him. However, the partial Time Lord Mels regenerated, revealing herself as Melody Pond, into a body the Doctor, Amy and Rory recognised as River Song. The Doctor stopped Melody's numerous tries to kill him, but was left dying from an unexpected poisoned kiss. He ordered her parents to catch her to prevent her from becoming worse. After dealing with a hologram of young Amelia, the Doctor tried to reason with the crew of the Teselecta to leave River alone instead of capturing her. The Doctor learnt that the Silence wasn't the name of a species, but a religion that fearing having "silence fall" when the "first question" was asked. Before succumbing to the poison, the Doctor passed a message to Melody to give to River. Melody, learning she was in fact River, had a change of heart and used her remaining regenerations to bring him back. The Doctor left River in the "best hospital in the universe" to be treated, leaving her a diary to begin recording their adventures. Unbeknownst to his companions, the Doctor learned of his death from downloads from the Teselecta. (DW: Let's Kill Hitler)

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

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

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

Knowing his death was an imminent and fixed point in time, the Doctor began a "farewell tour," which lasted nearly two hundred years. He participated in many events, "waving" at Amy and Rory throughout history. Some of these escapades included being painted and then imprisoned in the Tower of London, only to escape via a hot air balloon, taking part in a breakout from a World War II POW camp, but quickly being recaptured, and appearing in a Laurel and Hardy film. He also had adventures with River Song, including a trip to Easter Island, where he was worshipped and meeting "Jim the Fish". When asked about Jim, he said that he was still "building his dam." (DW: The Impossible Astronaut)

Finally, the Doctor paid a social call on Craig Owens. Craig and Sophie had had a son, Alfie. The Doctor noticed power fluctuation. With Craig, he discovered six Cybermen rebuilding their ranks by converting kidnapped people with spare parts and using Cybermats to drain the city's power. Although Craig nearly became their new Cyber-Controller, his love for his son made the Cybermen overload. The Doctor used the last of his free time to repair damages to Craig's home. He also took some TARDIS coloured envelopes and said his last goodbye. As he walked towards the TARDIS, he saw three children and briefly spoke to them. At the Luna University, in the 51st century, River would read that the Doctor seemed "happy, but sad." (DW: Closing Time)

Marriage
Before going to his death, the Doctor wanted to know why. The Silence wanted him dead because they feared he would answer a question only he knew the answer to. The captain of the Teselecta asked if there was anything he could do to help. The Doctor had the Teselecta miniaturise him and the TARDIS inside of it and take on his appearance. At Lake Silencio, Utah, on April 22, 2011 at 5:02 PM, River Song in an astronaut suit emerged from the lake. She emptied the suit's weapon system instead of shooting him. This caused every time period to happen all at once, and the date and time to always be April 22, 2011, 5:02 P.M. After being brought to the headquarters of the resistance, Area 52, the Doctor married River and revealed the charade. Realising that she would "kill" the Teselecta, and not the real Doctor, River Song kissed him. Time reverted to Lake Silencio, Utah April 22, 2011, 5:02 P.M and resumed; every living thing in the Universe was saved, and River shot the Teselecta. After his fake Viking funeral, The Doctor and his TARDIS returned to normal size. (DW: The Wedding of River Song)

Undated/Unchronicled events

 * There are several gaps in which a number of adventures may have happened:
 * Between Rory's death (DW: Cold Blood) and visiting Planet One. (DW: The Pandorica Opens)
 * The Doctor and Amy visited Arcadia, Space Florida and the Trojan Gardens during this time. (DW: Vincent and the Doctor, The Big Bang)

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

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

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

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

He found places like Leadworth useless due to the lack of technology and so boring that he couldn't think clearly. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, Amy's Choice) The Eleventh believed humans always took the boring way of doing things and even wondered how boredom got invented (DW: A Christmas Carol) He was not keen on hiding his emotions, usually making his anger obvious. Unlike his previous incarnation, he wasn't adept at handling romance and reacted awkwardly when Amy Pond or River Song kissed him. (DW: Flesh and Stone, Day of the Moon) This Doctor was also quite uncomfortable with his TARDIS calling itself "Sexy", a name he accidentally gave it, as Amy thought he had "wished really hard" for the TARDIS to be turned into a woman. (DW: The Doctor's Wife)

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

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

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

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

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

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

Like his predecessor's repetition of the word "What" when confused, the Eleventh Doctor would repeat "No" if something went horribly wrong, or say it as a warning. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, Victory of the Daleks, Vincent and the Doctor, Night Terrors, The Wedding of River Song) He also displayed a great fondness for the word "Geronimo," often exclaiming it when diving into a new or unexpected situation; although he also used it on one occasion as a general word of approval. (DW: The End of Time, The Eleventh Hour, The Beast Below, The Big Bang, The Wedding of River Song)

Occasionally, the Doctor would trade barbs or flirt with River Song, much to the annoyance or pleasure of witnesses. (DW: The Time of Angels, Flesh and Stone, The Big Bang, The Impossible Astronaut, Day of the Moon, Let's Kill Hitler, The Wedding of River Song)

At times, the Eleventh Doctor will say he is experiencing a new emotion and then put it aside for the moment and smile happily before returning to that emotion. (DW: The Doctor's Wife, A Good Man Goes to War)

This Doctor alluded to an interest in knitting and learning to knit on several occasions. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut, The Wedding of River Song)

This incarnation had the habit of referring to his companions by their surname, much as his first incarnation had with Ian Chesterton, though this was more due to affection, in his eleventh incarnation, rather than annoyance, like in his first incarnation.. (DW: The Big Bang, SJA: Death of the Doctor)

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

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

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

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

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

Appearance
This incarnation had long, dark hair which initially made him believe himself female. He confirmed that he wasn't by the presence of an Adam’s apple, but was still annoyed he was not ginger. He had a large chin, which seemed to initially unsettle him (Amy Pond and the TARDIS [as Idris]] found it hilarious), and green eyes. He commented on his nose though noted that he'd had worse. (DW: The End of Time)

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


 * Since he only stole this initial outfit from Royal Leadworth Hospital, he presumably had other tweed jackets, bow ties, shirts and braces in the TARDIS wardrobe.

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

This Doctor has a fondness for a variety of hats:
 * While in the National Museum, the Doctor found a fez which he became very fond of. The fez was later removed by Amy and destroyed by River Song. He sought another fez. (DW: The Big Bang, DW: The Impossible Astronaut)
 * He acquired a Stetson hat from Craig Owens in Closing Time. He was last seen wearing it inside the Teselecta. (DW: The Wedding of River Song).
 * He wore a top hat at least three times, once at Amy and Rory's wedding, after having been poisoned by River (DW: Let's Kill Hitler), and again to conceal a device that allowed him to lure the Squall back into their dimension of origin (NSA: Paradox Lost).

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

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

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

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

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

Trivia

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

Behind the scenes

 * The Matt Smith era has more Doctor Who video games than any other Doctor, a total of ten (counting the five Adventure Games).
 * The comic strip The Crimson Hand, published in Doctor Who Magazine from issue 416 in December 2009, was the last strip to feature the tenth incarnation. Similarly, the American comic book publisher, IDW Publishing, announced at the New York Comic Con in February 2009 that it would begin publishing original comic book adventures featuring the eleventh incarnation as of issue 18 of Doctor Who Ongoing, scheduled for publication in December 2010.
 * Benedict Cumberbatch (star of Sherlock, another show by Steven Moffat) was rumoured to have been offered the role of the eleventh incarnation and to have turned down the role. However, he denied this. Coincidentally Matt Smith auditioned for Sherlock for the role of John Watson but was rejected for being "more of a Sherlock Holmes." That audition ended up causing Smith to be a prime candidate for the eleventh incarnation.
 * British tabloid The Sun has reported that the eleventh incarnation's costume would be changed for Matt Smith's second series as the Doctor. The reason for this, the article claims, is that the majority of the series will be filmed in winter months and the tweed jacket isn't warm enough. The article does not specify if the entire costume will be changed or simply a warmer tweed jacket will be found, but language used in the article seemed to indicate the Doctor's "professor-style outfit" will be changed, suggesting the former. However, pictures from the filming of the 2010 Christmas Special revealed that the basic outfit had not changed.
 * While the Eleventh Doctor is the second Doctor to speak in an estuary accent, Matt Smith is the first actor to play the Doctor who actually has a natural estuary accent, as David Tennant's natural accent is Scottish and he faked an estuary accent to play the Doctor.
 * Matt Smith has made several public statements — as on The Jonathan Ross Show and in the question-and-answer session following the New York theatrical premiere of The Eleventh Hour — taking credit for the tweed jacket, braces and bow tie that his incarnation eventually wore. He has also relayed that there was some reluctance from Steven Moffat and other top executives to the bow tie in particular, but that it nevertheless "sat right" with his performance. Smith's influence — according to CON: Call Me the Doctor and a mid-April 2010 appearance on Fox Broadcasting Company's Strategy Room — was the character of Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones, Jr., as he was most often clothed on the campus of Barnett College.
 * When queried about the exact nature of the bow tie, Karen Gillan told the audience of the 2 April 2010 edition of the CBBC programme, Laugh Out Loud, that Smith's bow tie wasn't a "proper" bow tie, but instead a pre-tied dicky bow. This can be confirmed by carefully watching him put on the tie in The Eleventh Hour, although the action is somewhat obscured by the Atraxi projection.
 * One clothing retailer reported that in the month following the airing of DW: The Eleventh Hour, in which the Doctor declared that "bow ties are cool," its bow tie sales increased by 94%.
