Eleventh Doctor

The Eleventh Doctor was the eleventh incarnation of the Time Lord known as the Doctor. He was erratic in behaviour and very alien compared to his previous incarnation, yet he retained his youthful vigour for defending the universe.

Shortly before he beginning his travels, this Doctor encountered and gained his first companion, Amy Pond and later, Rory Williams. Following the appearance of cracks, the Doctor restarted the universe by initiating the Big Bang Two, an act that almost erased him from history. Throughout his travels, he had numerous encounters with the archaeologist River Song, but her identity was still unclear to him until the battle of Demon's Run, where he found her name to be a translation of Melody Pond, Amy and Rory's daughter.

Regeneration
The Doctor's tenth incarnation regenerated some time after absorbing a vast amount of radiation. He returned to his TARDIS to do so and the energy release caused significant damage to the TARDIS.

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

Meeting Amy
Crash landing on Earth, the Doctor met Amelia Pond, a lonely little Scottish girl with a mysterious crack in her bedroom wall. He welcomed her to travel in the TARDIS and promised to return in five minutes, but the TARDIS' failing engines led him to accidently travel twelve years into the future. Amelia was now a young woman going by the diminutive "Amy". She was initially very bitter towards the Doctor over his absence and how her childhood encounter with him had affected her life.

Nevertheless, Amy helped him to capture Prisoner Zero for the Atraxi. After that the Doctor departed for a short journey to the moon to run in his newly rebuilt TARDIS, with the intentions of returning to Amy and inviting her to join him on his travels. However, the TARDIS went of course again and he appeared at a point in time two years after the Atraxi escapade. Amy was sceptical after all her years of waiting, but the Doctor was eager for her to become his companion and managed to talk her on board. Unknown to him, the Doctor had arrived the night before her wedding. (DW: The Eleventh Hour)

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

Arriving a month after the call, the Doctor and Amy met Churchill, who revealed to the Doctor two Daleks that had survived the Medusa Cascade incident. The Daleks attempted to destroy Earth using a bomb. The Doctor and Amy managed to deactivate the bomb, but the Daleks escaped anyway, planning their next stratagem. (DW: Victory of the Daleks)

The Doctor and Amy then 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 encountered a gang of teenage Petrolions. The Doctor tricked them by waiting until they ran out of fuel, and changed the direction of the fuel, taking the Petrolions off of their bikes. He then ordered them to return to their home planet. (DWA: Madness on the M1!)

Meeting up with River Song for the second time in his timeline, the Doctor was lead into another very deadly adventure by her that involved an army of Weeping Angels, who he defeated by tricking them into falling into a crack in time. (DW: The Time of Angels / Flesh and Stone)

After finding out that Amy was getting marriedand fighitng off her romantic advances (DW: Flesh and Stone) the Doctor collected Amy's fiancé, Rory Williams. The Doctor took the couple to Venice, where they stopped a group of fish-like aliens masquerading as vampires led by Rosanna Calvierri from flooding Venice after they fled from the Silence. (DW: The Vampires of Venice)

While travelling, Amy, Rory, and the Doctor fell into the traps of the Dream Lord, a manifestation of the Doctor's dark side by Psychic pollen. The Doctor defeated the Dream Lord by solving his puzzle of which reality was real. (DW: Amy's Choice) Landing in Cwmtaff, Wales, the Doctor found that a drilling operation had disturbed a Silurian city and its inhabitants were retaliating. The Doctor failed to strike a treaty between humans and Silurians and resorted to putting the Silurians into deep sleep until a time when Earth would be ready for peace. On the way back to the TARDIS, Rory was shot by the Silurian Restac and his body was absorbed by a crack. The Doctor then tried to help Amy to remember Rory before he was erased from history, a task he failed in completing. (DW: The Hungry Earth / Cold Blood)

Out of guilt, the Doctor took Amy to visit Vincent van Gogh, where they found that Arles was being attacked by a Krafayis, a beast only Vincent could see. The Doctor and Vincent's battle with the Krafayis ultimately resulted in the creature's death, which troubled Vincent deeply. (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 of his money, giving it to his slaves as compensation. (DWA: Winning Hand) The Doctor then returned his books to the Library, where they encountered Book Monsters. Amy and he discovered that they needed to feed the the Book Monsters stories, and they were saved by telling them a story about Space Wolves and Sky Sheep. (DWA: Booked Up) After this, he solved the problem of the TARDIS' arrival sound annoying the inhabitants by muffling the noise with a fire extinguisher. (DWA: Bad Vibrations)

The Doctor spent some time living in a flat after seemingly being abandoned by the TARDIS with Amy still inside. With his flatmate Craig Owens, the Doctor found that the flat upstairs was actually a makeshift TARDIS and the ship's holographic computer was trying to find a suitable candidate to allow the ship to leave. The Doctor and Craig managed to stop the ship from killing any more. When the TARDIS returned, the Doctor and Amy left, saying they might return one day if an adventure brings them there. (DW: The Lodger)

Restarting the universe
After once again meeting up with River, the Doctor was lured to Stonehenge. At Stonehenge, a group of the Doctor's enemies (including Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans, Slitheen, Judoons, Silurians and Atraxi) trapped the Doctor inside a prison known as the Pandorica (which was based on a memory print of Amy's favorite storybook "Pandora's Box") in an attempt to stop the TARDIS from exploding. The TARDIS exploded anyway and every star in the universe went supernova. (DW: The Pandorica Opens)

The Doctor was released from the Pandorica by an Auton copy of Rory on the orders of the Doctor's future self, using his future self's sonic screwdriver. Using River's vortex manipulator, the Doctor worked out a way to fix the universe's destruction by flying the Pandorica into the heart of the TARDIS' explosion. The Doctor then woke up in the TARDIS one week prior, rewinding through his time stream until he was erased from history.

The Doctor was remembered back into existence by Amy with the help of River's diary. After Amy's wedding, the Doctor set off with Amy and Rory for new adventures. (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 the Claw Shansheeth, leaving him trapped on the Wasteland of the Crimson Heart. The Shansheeth then announced that the Doctor was dead and held a funeral for him, planning to drain Sarah Jane Smith and Josephine Jones of their memories of him to create a TARDIS key using a Memory Weave. The Doctor managed to travel to Earth using Artron energy and defeated the Shansheeth with the help of Jo and Sarah. (SJA: Death of the Doctor)

The Doctor later met Kazran Sardick, a man who refused to help him save both his companions and 4001 others trapped on a crashing starliner. The Doctor then used time travel to alter Kazran's life, hoping to change him into a better person by allowing him to live a life with his love, Abigail Pettigrew. This allowed the Doctor to save his friends. (DW: A Christmas Carol)

After Rory unintentionally caused it to falter, the Doctor's TARDIS accidentally materialised within itself. However, the Doctor was able to use the time differences to tell himself how to solve the problem. (DW: Space / Time)

Further Travels
Some time after Amy and Rory's wedding, the Doctor received a mysterious invitation leading him to an American diner in 2011, where he found Amy, Rory and River already present. Unbeknownst to him, they had just witnessed the death of his own future self in his current incarnation. Knowing they were keeping something from him, the younger Doctor reluctantly agreed to find the fourth invitee, Canton Delaware.

The Doctor found Delaware being consulted by US President Richard Nixon in 1969 about a mysterious phone call. The Doctor traced the call to a building in Florida, where the caller, a little girl, was being kept in a biomechanical "spacesuit". The Doctor also discovered that the Earth was being occupied by the Silence. Delaware interned the Doctor at Area 51 while he pretended to hunt down Amy, Rory and River. With the friends reunited, the Doctor set about capturing a Silent and driving 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 suggestion in the minds of every human who would ever watch the footage. With the defeat of the Silence assured, the Doctor set off for further adventures with Amy and Rory after returning River to Stormcage. It is then that the Doctor learns River and he are/ will be romanticaly involved after she kissed him. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut / Day of the Moon)

The TARDIS received a distress signal, leading the Doctor, Amy and Rory to a pirate ship, the Fancy, in the seventeenth century. After managing to keep themselves from being forced to walk the plank, the Doctor learned that the pirates were being terrorised by a "Siren". However, following the whole crew and Rory being taken by the Siren, it was revealed that she was in fact a virtual physician from an invisible and intangible spaceship that occupied the same space as the Fancy. The matter was resolved with the Fancy's crew taking 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 Time Lord, the Doctor left the main universe and arrived in a bubble universe on a sentient planetoid known as House. There, the Matrix of his TARDIS was placed with Idris. From the remnants of other TARDISes they built a new one and piloted it into the Doctor's TARDIS. When Idris died the Matrix was released back into the TARDIS, where it drove out House, who had taken control in its absence. During this time, the Doctor learned he had not stolen the TARDIS by chance; it wanted to leave Gallifrey as much as he did. (DW: The Doctor's Wife)

The Doctor and his companions later traveled to the 22nd century after a devastating solar storm struck the TARDIS. There, they found a factory which was mining acid, and were later captured by the factory's workers. Miranda Cleaves, the apparent leader of the group, led the trio of time travellers to a vat of a substance known as "The Flesh", which created clones (known as Gangers) of the workers. A solar storm allowed the Gangers to function on their own and the Doctor saw no difference between them and the original. While in the factory, the Doctor came across a Ganger of himself. (DW: The Rebel Flesh)

After his Ganger stabilized, the Doctor got along well with his copy. To test if Amy could get along with his double, the Doctor and his Ganger switched their shoes, the only way to distinguish them from each other. Jennifer Lucas' ganger tried to kill the others and so the Doctor left his Ganger to destabilise the flesh. The destroyed the Gangers of the Doctor, Jennifer and Miranda. Upon realising Amy was a Ganger, the Doctor wanted to secretly visit the Flesh to cut its connection to her. Promising Amy that he and Rory would find her, he dissolved her. (DW: The Rebel Flesh/The Almost People)

Reunions and truths
The Doctor then spent a month's worth of time collecting on old debts owed to him by various species, putting together an army to rescue Amy and her new born baby. After masquerading as a Headless Monk to cause chaos amongst them and the Church, the Doctor won the battle without bloodshed in under 4 minutes. However, this ended up being a trapped set by Madame Kovarian, who escaped with the real Melody after dissolving the Ganger she left in place of her. It was then River Song appeared, angering the Doctor as a future version of herself had not come when she was asked to help. Despite his anger, the Doctor calmed down after River revealed herself to be adult Melody Pond and that they will/have a romantic relationship. His hope renewed, the Doctor had an idea where baby Melody is and left to find and save her from Kovarian while adult River returns his friends to their proper times. (DW: A Good Man Goes to War)

Far future
An 1103-year old Eleventh Doctor, knowing his death was coming, sent anonymous summoning letters to River Song, Amy Pond, Rory Williams, Canton Delaware and a younger version of himself. By this time, he had started to keep a diary of his adventures with River as she has, which were now numerous. He was then shot by an astronaut on a beach in Utah, America. He attempted to regenerate, but was killed before the process completed. His friends burned his body as per his request to keep it from being analysed, before they returned to a diner to meet his past self. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut)

Personality
The eleventh incarnation was highly energetic and very lively, with additional liveliness during his post-regenerative period. He was extremely brash and unafraid to show his eccentricities, appearing to act 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 thinking about a problem, he blocked out all outside distractions, to the point where he told Amy "you're dying, shut up" so he could solely concentrate on working out how to save her. (DW: Flesh and Stone)

Much like his second incarnation, this incarnation showed a childlike recklessness, but always had a grander scheme behind his actions. The Doctor also had a knack for acting smug, occasionally boasting about his feats, knowledge, and reputation. (DW: The Time of Angels) He also had a tendency to think aloud when he was panicking or stressed. (DW: The Pandorica Opens)

This incarnation also possessed a sense of arrogance, stating to 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) He also appeared to be more violent than his predecessor, attacking a Dalek in order to provoke it into revealing its true nature. Unlike the Tenth Doctor, the eleventh is shown to be very hostile towards the Daleks and did not seem to share his predecessor's belief that the Daleks could change. (DW: Victory of the Daleks)

Despite his aggression towards the Daleks, the Doctor still preferred to settle problems through negotiation rather than violence and reprimanded Ambrose Northover for suggesting to use weapons against the Silurians. (DW: The Hungry Earth, Cold Blood) However, the Doctor could be ruthless if necessary. Firstly threatening to kill Kazran if he allows Amy, Rory and the 4001 others to die. (DW: A Christmas Carol) Confronting the Silence, who had ruled the Earth in secret for millennia, he used the Silence's own powers of mind control against them, implanting a post-hypnotic suggestion in the minds of every single human being to kill the Silence on sight. (DW: Day of the Moon) Another example is when Amy was and held prisoner on Demons Run, the Doctor managed to subdue his foes by meerly out numbering them with an army of his debters, but let the Headless Monks and the Church soilders fight eachother beforehand. (DW: A Good Man Goes to War)

The eleventh incarnation had also shown a tendency to refer to Amy by her surname as he found her new nickname boring. This Doctor was not keen on hiding his emotions, usually making his anger obvious. However, unlike his previous incarnation, he wasn't very adept at handling romance and reacted awkwardly when Amy Pond and River Song kissed him. (DW: Flesh and Stone, Day of the Moon). He was also shown to straighten his bow-tie whenever he was embarrassed or uncomfortable, and Vastra claimed he would blush. (DW: A Good Man Goes to War)

This incarnation was shown to have resolved much of the survivor's guilt seen in his ninth and tenth incarnations, to the extent that he referred to the Last Great Time War as simply a "bad day". (DW: The Beast Below) However when speaking to Alaya about being the last of his species, the Doctor implied that he still hadn't totally recovered from the results of the Time War. (DW: The Hungry Earth) This was later shown in the bubble universe, when the Doctor was given hope that he might not have been the last of his race. When he discovered that he was, he began to cry. (DW: The Doctor's Wife)

The eleventh Doctor was very selfless and willing to sacrifice himself for his friends or for the greater good. He was responsible for closing the cracks in time despite the fact that he knew he was going to end up on the wrong side of the cracks. (DW: The Big Bang)

Habits and Quirks
This incarnation of the Doctor appeared to have incredibly good eyesight as well as an eidetic memory, and was able to scan an entire scene and pick up little details, imploring his companions to do so as well. (DW: The Eleventh Hour. The Beast Below) His powers of deduction often involved leaning close to someone and frantically scanning their face. (DW: Flesh and Stone) He was capable of Sherlock Holmes-like feats of extrapolation, reconstructing Kazran Sardick's childhood using little more than the arrangement of the furniture in his living room. (DW: A Christmas Carol)

He also showed a penchant for talking with his hands, being able to calculate a situation with hand gestures. (DW: Flesh and Stone) He also had a habit of spinning in circles when walking. (DW The Eleventh Hour, DW The Vampires of Venice)

Since developing his new taste buds, the Doctor has gained a liking for Fish Fingers with Custard (DW: The Eleventh Hour) and Jammie Dodgers. (DW Victory of the Daleks, DW The Impossible Astronaut)

It was also while in this incarnation, the Doctor grew fond of wanting to wear hats. Such hats included a Fez (DW: The Big Bang ) and a Stetson. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut) On one occasion the Doctor tried on a tricorne pirate hat. (DW: The Curse of the Black Spot)

He also had a habit of rambling, making rapid amendments to his speech, to the point where it seemed like he was talking nonsense. (DW: The Time of Angels, The Vampires of Venice, A Good Man Goes to War)

This incarnation had the habit of referring to his companions by their surname, much as his first incarnation had with Ian Chesterton. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, The Big Bang, SJA: Death of the Doctor)

At times, when facing a personal problem, a sense of honor or when he sees a situation as too dangerous for his companions to participate in, the Doctor will demand they return to the TARDIS or he will leave them in the most safe 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 )

The eleventh incarnation showed several uses of his telepathic powers, to expose enemies, (DW: The Eleventh Hour) or to show others his past quickly through head-butting. (DW: The Lodger) He also used them to leave Amy a message when she woke up and was released from the Pandorica. (DW: The Big Bang)

Mirroring the Tenth's fear of regeneration, the Eleventh also seemed distressed when looking backwards upon his previous lives. While being erased from existance, he opted to bypass the rest of his rewinding timeline and skip directly to his oblivion, saying he hated "repeats." (DW: The Big Bang) Ganger Doctor also shouted that he's "past that" and "moved on" while fast-forwarding through them to catch up to the Eleventh. (DW: The Almost People) He claimed to hate himself more than anyone else in the Universe (DW: Amy's Choice) and suggested that he did not consider himself a good man (DW: A Good Man Goes to War. Despite this, he was thrilled when he had the chance to have a conversation with himself. (DW: The Almost People)

This incarnation was also fond of bow ties, often defending his belief that "bowties are cool". Usually when Amy recommends getting rid of it. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, Vincent and the Doctor, The Lodger, A Good Man Goes to War) He also had a habit of referring to other various items as "cool", usually generally unpopular thing. Amongst these items were his bow ties, fezzes (DW: The Big Bang), Stetsons (DW: The Impossible Astronaut) Apollo technology (DW: Day of the Moon) and bunk beds. (DW: The Doctor's Wife)

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 that he was not ginger. He had a large chin, which seemed to initially unsettle him, 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 in design (DW: Victory of the Daleks, The Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone) though he lost it while escaping from Weeping Angels aboard the Byzantium starship. After that incident he resumed wearing his first jacket. (DW: The Vampires of Venice)

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. (DW: The Big Bang) The Doctor acquired a Stetson hat in America, but it too was destroyed by River. He still sought another fez. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut)

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

When travelling with the married couple, the Doctor wore a new tweed jacket with a faint striped pattern, and also 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 bow tie while visting California in 1952, and a fez, which he had previously expressed affection for. (DW: A Christmas Carol)

The Eleventh Doctor had size 10 shoes, and claimed they were quite broad. (DW: The Rebel Flesh)

Behind the scenes

 * The Matt Smith Era has more Doctor Who video games, more than any other Doctor, a total of 9 (counting the four 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 2nd 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%.
