Unbound Doctor

This incarnation of the Doctor was exiled to Earth by the Time Lords. His TARDIS materialised in Hong Kong on 30 June 1997, the eve of the Handover to Chinese rule.

He could speak Mandarin, Cantonese, Manchu, Mongolian and Haikun. To the Chinese, he was known as Hu (the Tiger, for his courage), Hu (the Fox, for his cunning) and Xue (Doctor, he who tends to the sick). The last of these was his personal favourite. (BFDWU: Sympathy for the Devil)
