Second Doctor

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

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

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

Foreshadowing
After his struggle with the Celestial Toymaker, the Doctor began to feel he was nearing the end of his first life, becoming increasingly unwell, (PROSE: The Man in the Velvet Mask) and was afraid of the change. (PROSE: Ten Little Aliens)

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

Before he had time to recuperate, the TARDIS took the Doctor, Ben and Polly to Vulcan, where the Doctor witnessed the murder of an Earth examiner sent to check on the human colony. Posing as the examiner, the Doctor tried to stop the colony's scientist, Lesterson, from reactivating three captured Daleks, but failed. He was sceptical when the Dalek claimed to be the colony's servant and desperately tried to convince the humans that the Daleks were using their colony to produce new Daleks. By the time Lesterson uncovered the truth, it was too late: Thousands of Daleks, now showing their true colours, attacked the colony and killed many colonists. Despite knowing it was a losing battle, the Doctor, Ben and Polly remained to fight alongside the colonists, with the Doctor destroying his foes by using their power against them, and exposing secruity head Bragen as the killer of the examiner. (TV: The Power of the Daleks)

Immediately after leaving Vulcan, he, Ben and Polly briefly encountered a "ghost" in the TARDIS, while the Doctor was also avoiding Polly's questions about possibly meeting the Daleks again, (AUDIO: The Light at the End) as he was mourning the loss of his signet ring, until he decided it was replaceable. (COMIC: The Chameleon Factor)

On Dorada, the Doctor, Polly and Ben were enslaved by the Masters of Dorada, having their memories altered so they wouldn't remember living anywhere else and being forced to work in their factories. They were freed by two rebel Doradans, but refused to assist them in killing the Masters. Shaken after watching the deaths of the rebels, the Doctor and his companions shut down the machines controlling the Masters' life processes. (COMIC: The Dream Masters)

The Doctor, Ben and Polly then visited Trefus, where they discovered blonde-haired people were considered inferior to those with dark hair. The Doctor defended the blonde-haired people to the ruler of the planet, who tested them to prove their innocence by swimming in a lake filled with crocodiles, which they won and were accepted into society. (COMIC: The Tests of Trefus)

After landing on an Arcturian spaceship under the impression it was hostile, the Doctor was greeted by a peaceful species from Arcturus, who had fled from their own planet after losing the atmosphere. Knowing humanity would consider them a threat and fight them, the Doctor altered their time co-ordinates and transported their fleet to the Ninth Dimension, where they could find a new world to call home. (PROSE: Only a Matter of Time)

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

The Doctor, Victoria and Jamie landed in Sumatra where they found the Great Space Elevator, a method of reaching a space station without using rockets. They arrived in time for an emergency in the space station, when it lost power. He found a way to get to the space station to discover the cause of the problem which included the computer giving the crew electric shocks. Though when they arrived the crew said that there was nothing wrong. A member of the crew told the Doctor that the crew was infected by an alien energy which allowed the humans to be conductive.

While Victoria stayed behind with him, Pavo sent the Doctor on a mission to Space Station Camera, but they fled when they saw the Station attacked by Sontarans. After visiting the City of Owls and helping the people of McKenzie, the Doctor and Jamie returned to the ship they departed from before they actually first arrived on the ship, and found the real Pavo, helping her to defeat, after which Pavo agreed not to arrest the Doctor, but erased the Doctor and his friends' memory of the event nontheless.

The two escaped from a squad of Cybermen, encounter a Yeti and faced illusions of Jamie and Zoe. In the Dark Tower, the Doctor met his first, third and fifth incarnation, their companions and. After Borusa was turned to stone by Rassilon, the Doctor was returned to his timezone. (TV: The Five Doctors)

During a brief trip in the TARDIS with the Brigadier, the Doctor was trapped in the event horizon of a black hole, (AUDIO: The Three Companions) and, still wearing his fur coat, had an adventure in an America park, where he briefly crossed paths with the Eighth Doctor and a version of Clara Oswald. (TV: The Name of the Doctor)

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

The Doctor attempted to form a band with his first, third and fourth incarnations, but creative differences, and the fact that they all wanted to play the drums, broke them up. (COMIC: Day of the Tune)

The Doctor helped Jovain Pallis investigate a murder on human colony on Mars, only to discover that Jovain was the murderer, (PROSE: Dust) gave a librarian a purpose in life, (PROSE: Pass It On) and went undercover at a film production which featured the Cybermen. (PROSE: Scientific Adviser)

Hiding in luxury
Unable to hide behind CIA protection, the Doctor's sentence of exile to Earth was enforced, (COMIC: Action in Exile) although he was able to escape before the Time Lords could enforce a regeneration. (COMIC: The Night Walkers) Now exiled, the Doctor took up residence in the Carlton Grange Hotel in London, (COMIC: Action in Exile) where he enjoyed considerable luxury and press attention, with people from around the world bringing their problems to him. (COMIC: The Mark of Terror, The Brotherhood, U.F.O.)

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

The scarecrows dragged him to his waiting TARDIS, where they forced him to regenerate. During the process, the scarecrows programmed the TARDIS for a final flight, (COMIC: The Night Walkers) and edited the Doctor's memory to make him think he had been executed at his trial. (AUDIO: Legend of the Cybermen, Stage Fright) The TARDIS travelled to an English field, where it was found, along with the newly-regenerated Doctor, by UNIT. (TV: Spearhead from Space)

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

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

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

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

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

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

Undated adventures

 * Either due to 's deceptions, (AUDIO: The Black Hole) or acting under the CIA's authority, (PROSE: World Game) the Doctor and Jamie went to persuade Joinson Dastari to stop his experiments with time at the Space Station Camera, but Dastari and his mutated Androgum, Chessene, had planned to kidnap the Time Lord emissary all along, partnering up with the Sontarans to steal the secret of Time Travel from the Time Lords' genetic makeup. The Sontarans slaughtered the station and the Doctor's death was faked to hide his kidnapping and seclusion in Seville from survivors, such as Jamie, who escaped the massacre and reported everything to the sixth incarnation of the Doctor and Peri when they discovered him. The combined efforts of the four put a stop to the dangerous plans, but not before the Second Doctor was briefly turned into an Androgum. (TV: The Two Doctors)
 * River Song was offered "this cool place on Telos" by the Second Doctor, but according to her diary she "saw right through that (and I hope he chokes on that recorder.)" She had his memory wiped with mnemosine recall-wipe vapour so the timeline would remain intact. (GAME: The Eternity Clock)
 * The Second Doctor gave a few lines of credit to Snorglarr on Vortis, to repay a debt a future incarnation owed Snorglarr. (COMIC: The Rise and Fall)

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

Personality
The second incarnation was a complete change of pace from his predecessor - whimsical, somewhat buffoonish, yet still witty. He was no longer a grandfather figure, but rather more of a favourite uncle. Indeed, the slow transition of the first incarnation from a reluctant travelling companion to a more kindly compatriot was completed here, as the second incarnation very much enjoyed embroiling himself in adventures with his assistants. Despite his bluster and tendency to panic when events got out of control, the Second Doctor always acted heroically and morally in his desire to help the oppressed and fight "the most terrible things [in the universe]". (TV: The Moonbase, The Enemy of the World, The War Games)

He also had a warmer, gentler way about him than his previous incarnation. (TV: The Tomb of the Cybermen) Mercurial, clever, and always a few steps ahead of his enemies, at times he could be a calculating schemer who would not only manipulate people for the greater good, but act like a bumbling fool in order to have others underestimate his true abilities. (TV: The Evil of the Daleks, The Tomb of the Cybermen, The Web of Fear, The Wheel in Space)

He was very childlike in his love of play, dancing a jig in his new body, (TV: The Power of the Daleks) on the outskirts of Atlantis, (TV: The Underwater Menace) and a beach in Australia. (TV: The Enemy of the World) Although he was always in trouble, he loved peace and quiet and was as surprised and frightened of alien menaces as those who faced them with him. However, unlike his reclusive predecessor, the Doctor was quite willing to enjoy fame, and even fortune, when he could find it. (COMIC: Martha the Mechanical Housemaid) He also believed in destiny, telling Ben and Polly that the TARDIS' seemingly random journeys were controlled by destiny, and that "if [they] just obey[ed] destiny blindly, all [would] be well". (PROSE: Only a Matter of Time)

Despite the Doctor's almost childlike recklessness, it was always clear to his allies that a keen, deliberate intellect lurked behind his every action. (TV: The Macra Terror) Although he frequently gave the impression that he never knew what he was doing, this was simply an an act put on to fool those who would underestimate him. (TV: The Tomb of the Cybermen, The Dominators)

Paradoxically, he had a deep streak of ruthlessness when needed, as he wired the Cyber-Tombs doors to fatally electrocute anyone trying to open them, (TV: The Tomb of the Cybermen) reacted unfazed to Salamander's fate, (TV: The Enemy of the World) ensured that a relatively helpless party of Daleks would all die, (COMIC: Bringer of Darkness) steered an Ice Warrior fleet into the sun, (TV: The Seeds of Death) and used his ray gun to killed the Master of Spiders while shouting "Die, hideous creature. Die!" (COMIC: Master of Spiders)

The Second Doctor was also painfully aware of the need to see the "bigger picture", knowing that it was entirely proper to sacrifice a few lives if it would save millions. (TV: The Evil of the Daleks, The Wheel in Space)

The Second Doctor had a noticeably antagonistic relationship with the Third Doctor, their personalities so different that they seemed incapable of working together without the authoritative presence of the First Doctor. (TV: The Three Doctors)

The Sixth Doctor considered his second incarnation to be an "antediluvian fogey" for apparently being captured by the Sontarans. (TV: The Two Doctors)

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

Zoe Heriot considered the Second Doctor to be a "lovely little man", who was "such fun to be with." (PROSE: One Small Step...) On another occasion, she described him as "old, clever and kind." (AUDIO: The Five Dimensional Man)

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

When he was shot and executed by the Time Lords' animated scarecrows, the Doctor used his dying breath to reassure Farmer Hogan, who was on the verge of a nervous breakdown from seeing his scarecrows come to life, that the phenomenon would not happen again after the night was over. (COMIC: The Night Walkers)

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

He easily donned disguises without self-consciousness to age, gender, or dignity; he posed as a German physician, a washerwoman, and a wounded British soldier in Scotland, (TV: The Highlanders) and dressed as a strange, gypsy-like musician in Atlantis. (TV: The Underwater Menace)

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

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

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

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

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

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

Physically younger than his predecessor, the Second Doctor was able to outrun various pursuers, (TV: The Seeds of Death) and avoid weapon ammunition fired at him. (TV: The Invasion)

Though the Second Doctor learned the arts of Venusian aikido on Venus, he never actually used it. (AUDIO: Voyage to Venus)

The Doctor was also a convincing actor, being able to masquerade as the Chameleons' Director without arousing suspicion, (TV: The Faceless Ones) and, against his will, he also impersonated his physical double, Ramón Salamander, with a performance convincing enough to fool Jamie and Victoria. (TV: The Enemy of the World)

Appearance
The Second Doctor resembled a shortish man in his early forties. (TV: The Tenth Planet, The Power of the Daleks)

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

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

The First Doctor called him "a clown" due to his scruffy appearance, (TV: The Three Doctors) whilst the Third Doctor labelled him a "scarecrow", (TV: The Five Doctors) and the Fifth Doctor described him as a "hobo". (PROSE: Five Card Draw)

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

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

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

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

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

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

Under his frock coat, he wore a plain shirt with a blue bow tie. (TV: The Power of the Daleks) His shirt colours varied from plain white to a bright or dull blue. (TV: The Power of the Daleks, The Three Doctors, The Five Doctors) He also wore black ankle boots with either brown-themed baggy plaid trousers, (TV: The Power of the Daleks) or grey-themed tartan trousers. (TV: The Two Doctors) Occasionally, he would wear a waistcoat. (PROSE: Daleks Invade Zaos, Golem)

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

He also expressed a liking for hats, stating that he "would like a hat like that" when he spotted new headgear. (TV: The Power of the Daleks, The Highlanders) His most prominent hat was a stovepipe hat, (TV: The Power of the Daleks, The Underwater Menace) but he also wore a and a British Army  while in Scotland. (TV: The Highlanders)

The Brilliant Book 2011
According to The Brilliant Book 2011 (a non-narrative based book), the Second Doctor met Winston Churchill in 1882, giving him lessons in Latin, including how to address a table in Latin.

Other matters

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