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. During the course of his adventures, he thwarted the numerous attempts on his life by the Silence to prevent him from answering the Question, succeeding in making them think he was dead at the cost of River Song being falsely imprisoned.

Foreshadowing
In 1851 London, the Tenth Doctor met a human called Jackson Lake who believed himself to be the Doctor due to the backfiring of an infostamp containing knowledge of the Doctor. The Doctor thought Jackson might be his next incarnation, or a later one. (DW: The Next Doctor) After the 200 returned to London from San Helios, the psychic Carmen predicted the Doctor's "song" would end soon. (DW: Planet of the Dead) Later in his life, the Tenth Doctor saw his true next incarnation in a dream. (IDW: To Sleep, Perchance to Scream)

Post-Regeneration
After absorbing a vast amount of nuclear radiation, the Tenth Doctor regenerated in his TARDIS. The energy released caused great damage to the vessel. Focused initially on his new form, he 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 shouting, "Geronimo!", as his TARDIS plummeted to Earth. (DW: The End of Time)

Crashing in Leadworth in England, 1996, 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 the other side of the crack. Before the Doctor could investigate further, the cloister bell brought him back to the TARDIS as the engines were in danger of phasing out of existence.

The Doctor promised Amelia he would return in five minutes and have her travel with him. Unfortunately, he accidentally arrived twelve years later. He persuaded the now-grown Amelia to help him capture Prisoner Zero for the Atraxi, to avoid the incineration of Earth. After detaining Prisoner Zero and stealing a new outfit, the Doctor took a short trip to the moon before returning to Amy (as Amelia now liked to be known) and inviting her to join him on his travels. The Doctor accidentally arrived two years later. Not knowing that he had arrived the night before her wedding, he still agreed to Amy's request to return her by the next morning. (DW: The Eleventh Hour)

Alone no more
For their first trip, the Doctor took Amy to the Starship UK in the 33rd century. Initially resistant to getting involved in events on-board the ship, the Doctor was moved by a child in distress. Investigating why adults ignored the obviously-distraught child, the Doctor learned a star whale was being tortured into transporting the ship. With the help of Liz 10, Amy and the Doctor freed the creature, which was still willing to continue carrying the ship. He was a legend to Liz 10 due to all his past interactions with royalty. Preparing to leave, the Doctor got a phone call from his old friend Winston Churchill, asking for assistance. (DW: The Beast Below)

Amy and the Doctor arrived a month after the call to discover two Daleks aiding Britain against the Nazis in the Second World War. Trying to force the Daleks into revealing their true nature, the Doctor fell victim to their trap; he provided a testimony that allowed the Daleks to use a Progenitor device to rebuild their race. Forced to choose between saving Earth from being destroyed by an Oblivion Continuum or finishing off the Daleks for good, the Doctor chose Earth and let the Daleks escape through a time corridor. However, he was perplexed by Amy not recognising the Daleks despite living through the War in the Medusa Cascade. (DW: Victory of the Daleks)

In 2025 Orkney, the Doctor prevented the Caskelliac from draining the energy from all life on Earth, insisting they find another way to sustain themselves. (NSA: The Ring of Steel)

The Doctor next prevented the Cei from terraforming Earth into an aquatic world to use as an outpost during their war with another planet in 1864. (NSA: The Runaway Train) During this adventure, the Doctor showed his fondness for trains once again, something he hadn't done since his fifth incarnation. (DW: Black Orchid)

The Doctor arrived on the Earth moon base in 2010, where he was well known. With the help of Professor Jackson, the Doctor was able to prevent the Talerians from taking over the bodies of the humans on the base. However, to defeat the foes, the Doctor was forced to let Jackson sacrifice himself to cause an atmosphere change to kill the Talerians by breaking a window. (NSA: Apollo 23) Their next trip brought them to the junk-made asteroid known as the Gyre. There, they encountered the Sittuun and a primitive society of humans; they believed they were on Earth. The Doctor tried convincing them they weren't, offering to save them from a bomb the Sittuun were going to set off to destroy the Gyre. Unsuccessful, he encountered Dirk Slipstream, an old foe, after the artefact holding the Gyre together. Though successful in stopping Dirk, the Doctor felt remorseful for being unable to save the humans. (NSA: Night of the Humans)

The Doctor next took Amy to New York for the best burgers in all of history, even buying the street they were sold on to get them for free. However, his attention was drawn to a recently thawed mammoth causing havoc; it was later revealed to be a spaceship piloted by Vykoids. They captured the Doctor, planning to use him and kidnapped humans as enslaved miners. After being rescued by Amy, the Doctor reversed their teleporter and sent the Vykoids back to their home planet. (NSA: The Forgotten Army)

Discovering a Home Box containing River Song's calling card in a 171st century museum, the Doctor was led into a hunt for a Weeping Angel with her and the Church. An entire army of Angels was waiting for them in a 51st century Alfava Metraxis' Mortarium, gradually being revived by the crashed ship the Byzantium. The Doctor shot a gravity globe (DW: The Time of Angels) and he and his allies retreated into the remains of the Byzantium. Inside, they discovered a growing crack in time. A scan showed it had been caused by a very large explosion cracking all of time and space. Realising the crack erased things from existence, he tricked the Angels into falling into the crack. (DW: Flesh and Stone)

After learning 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 there disguised as vampires, led by Rosanna Calvierri. They planned 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)

The Doctor encountered a ship with Glamour technology he had previously met long ago in a previous incarnation. He found that Oliver Marks had been chosen as host for its properties and created a false reality that he was wed to his love, Daisy. The Doctor encountered the Weave once again and helped repair their ship. (NSA: The Glamour Chase)

The Doctor next came across a fake town with undercover robot assassins for residents; a bomb was to destroy them. As this would've killed them along with the robots, the Doctor used the TARDIS to take the bomb backwards in time to disperse its force. He eventually entered the military base the robots came from and warned them of an incident the robots would cause, preventing the scientist that created them from being killed. With this done, the Doctor rescued his companions from the robots and allowed the bomb, now with a great amount of its force gone, to explode. (NSA: Nuclear Time)

On a trip to Geath, the Doctor found that the society of the city had changed from politics to royalty. It was caused by a dragon made of enamour, a mineral that made people love having it in their possession to the point of cleptomania. Both a herald and a regulator claimed the device belonged to them and not the false king. The Doctor learned the regulator and her people were once slaves to the herald's now deceased masters because of the enamour. He allowed it to be taken along with the herald, allowing Geath to return to normal albeit allied with the regulator's people. (NSA: The King's Dragon)

In between travels, the Doctor and his companions fell into the trap of the Dream Lord. Created by psychic pollen, he was a manifestation of the Doctor's dark side. Deducing the entity's true identity, the Doctor figured out that the two worlds the Dream Lord was switching them between were both dreams. Once they were killed in both, they woke up. However, the Doctor feared that the Dream Lord still dwelt 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, the Doctor tried to strike a treaty between humans and the Silurians. However, mistrusting elements on both sides led to hostilities. (DW: The Hungry Earth) The Doctor had the Silurian leader Eldane put the Silurians to sleep for a thousand years while humanity prepared for them. On the way out of the Silurian habitat, the Doctor found another crack and fished a piece of shrapnel from its explosion. Rory took a blast from a dying Silurian meant for the Doctor. The Doctor left Rory's body behind as it became absorbed by the crack. He tried to help Amy remember Rory when he was erased from history, but failed. Alone, the Doctor examined the piece of shrapnel. It was part of the TARDIS' outer shell. (DW: Cold Blood)

The Doctor and Amy discovered the Daleks had destroyed the human race in 1963, using the Eye of Time to alter history. Following them back to Skaro, they travelled through the Eye to before the Daleks arrived on Skaro to use it themselves. The Doctor constructed a vision disruptor to blind them and overloaded the magnetic field generator, causing the Daleks to lose the Eye and to have never used it to alter history. (VG: City of the Daleks)

The Doctor and Amy arrived in GSO Arctic Drilling Station, where a nano-virus spread by Cybermats had turned the crew into Cyberslaves to recover Cybermen trapped beneath the ice millennia before. The Cyberslave Elizabeth Meadows threatened Amy with conversion, forcing the Doctor to awaken the Cybermen in their ship; they promptly killed the Cyberslaves. After rescuing Amy, he used the same control panel to turn the Cybermen's nano-virus against them, shutting them down and blowing up their ship. (VG: Blood of the Cybermen)

The Doctor and Amy visited Smyslov 3 for the first time and learnt their future selves had just visited and caused a lot of damage. Tanik threatened to imprison them for their actions, but the TARDIS had already taken off before he could disable the ship. (WC: Wish You Were Here)

While trying to rescue the Doctor from being trapped in a space-time riptide, Amy accidentally released the Entity from its container in the TARDIS. The Entity created a lesion in time to send Amy a thousand years into the future and began feeding on her timeline. The Doctor built a tachyon feedback loop which he sent to Amy to bring her and the Entity back to the Doctor. He captured the Entity and sent it into the riptide, where it could freely gorge on the four-dimensional Chronomites without harming them. (VG: TARDIS)

The Doctor continued to their intended vacation spot, Poseidon 8. He found it under attack by a Zaralok, occupied by the Vashta Nerada and its people under a "sickness". He returned power to the undersea farming facility, treated the vortron radiation poisoning of its crew and used a triangulation device to trace the appearance of the Zaralok and the Vashta Nerada to a World War II era warship, the USS Eldridge. This had brought through a dimensional vortex caused by a malfunctioning cloaking device. The Doctor and Amy deactivated the device, returning the Zaralok and Vashta Nerada to their proper timelines. (VG: Shadows of the Vashta Nerada)

Still feeling guilty about what happened to Rory, the Doctor took Amy to nice places. However, during a trip to a Vincent van Gogh exhibit in the 21st century, the Doctor was led to travel back in time to the artist himself to protect him from a Krafayis, a beast only Vincent could see. Their battle with the beast ended in the creature's death, something neither Vincent nor the Doctor had wished to happen. The Doctor took Vincent to his own exhibit in the future, where the painter was able to see just how much people would care about his work. (DW: Vincent and the Doctor)

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

The Eleventh Doctor and Amy visited Arcadia, Space Florida and the Trojan Gardens during this time. (DW: Vincent and the Doctor, The Big Bang)

Restarting the Universe
While visiting Planet One, the Doctor found a message from River Song. It 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 that he had defeated in the past imprisoned him in the Pandorica, the ultimate prison. This was to prevent the cracks in time from occurring as the Doctor was the only one they knew able to pilot the TARDIS. When the Doctor was sealed away, the TARDIS exploded anyway with River inside; everything but the Earth vanished. (DW: The Pandorica Opens)

The Doctor was immediately released by an Auton copy of Rory on orders from the Doctor's future self. He used River's vortex manipulator to travel to 1996, then back to 102 AD to hand Rory the screwdriver that had originally freed him. 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 skipping the rest of his "rewind" to oblivion, he left a psychic imprint in Amy's mind to allow her to remember him back into existence. On her wedding day, the Doctor was returned to the universe and attended her 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 trapped him in the wasteland of the Crimson Heart. The Shansheeth announced the Doctor was dead and held a fake funeral to lure in his old companions. They planned to drain the memories of Sarah Jane and Jo to create a new TARDIS key using a Memory Weave. The Doctor travelled to Earth using residual artron energy Clyde Langer had absorbed from the TARDIS in their earlier encounter and beat the Shansheeth with the help of Jo, Sarah and Sarah's friends. (SJA: Death of the Doctor)

After getting a distress signal from Amy, the Doctor met Kazran Sardick, who refused to help him save Amy, Rory and four thousand other people on a crashing starliner trapped in a locked cloud belt. 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 at first unsuccessful, he succeeded after showing young Kazran the cruel person he would become. Kazran became a better man and saved his friends. The Doctor left with Amy and Rory, thinking up new locations where they could honeymoon. (DW: A Christmas Carol)

During some repair work on the TARDIS, the Doctor was annoyed by an argument between Rory and Amy that made Rory mess up on his part of the repairs. The Doctor found that the mistake had caused the TARDIS to materialise within itself, trapping them forever. (DW: Space) A second version of Amy arrived and explained the outer shell had drifted into the near future. The Doctor used the time drift to tell himself how to undo the space loop. He then made sure it wouldn't happen again. (DW: Time)

At some point during his travels with Amy and Rory, taking them to honeymoon locations, the Doctor encountered the Squall, whom he prevented from sucking the memories out of the populace of London, 1910, and send them back to their home dimension. (NSA: Paradox Lost)

First encounter with the Silence
Some time after returning Amy and Rory home, the Doctor got an anonymous invitation leading him to an American diner in 2011. He found Amy, Rory and River. He didn't know that they had just witnessed the death of his current incarnation, some two hundred years older, but he knew they weren't telling him something. He reluctantly agreed to find the fourth guest, Canton Delaware, in 1969. They materialised in the Oval Office in Washington, D.C. where US President Richard Nixon was consulting Canton about a mysterious call. The Doctor traced it to Florida, where the caller, a little girl, was kept in a biomechanical "spacesuit". They found Earth was occupied by the Silence. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut)

The Doctor played the part of a perfectly-secured prisoner in Area 51 to give the Silence a false sense of security as part of a greater plan to uncover their plot. His plan included Canton and the FBI hunting down Amy, Rory and River in a nationwide search. He then reluctantly sent River and the Ponds on their own nationwide search to find information about the Silence. He gave them cryotosis podlets for when Canton would pretend to kill them.

Once his companions had been rounded up, the Doctor decided to search for the little girl, which led to Amy's kidnapping. However, he managed to capture a wounded Silent and trick it into saying, "You should kill us all on sight". He recorded this and spliced it into footage of the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing, planting a post-hypnotic order in the minds of every human who would ever watch it. With this in place, he rescued Amy and returned River to Stormcage. Much to his shock (and pleasure), she kissed him. However, he was left to ponder who the little girl was. (DW: Day of the Moon)

New adventures with Amy and Rory
The TARDIS received a distress signal, leading the Doctor to a pirate ship, the Fancy, in the 17th century; pirates were being terrorised by a "Siren". After the crew and Rory had been taken by the Siren, they discovered she was a virtual physician from an invisible and intangible spaceship occupying the same space as the Fancy; the signal came from this ship. As the Siren compulsively sought out the injured, the pirates took over the ship and left Earth to prevent her from reaching shore. Rory also nearly drowned during this adventure. (DW: The Curse of the Black Spot)

The Doctor followed a hypercube distress signal from his old Time Lord friend the Corsair to a sentient planetoid called House in a bubble universe. However, it was a trap; House hijacked the TARDIS and left for the main universe while placing the TARDIS matrix in Idris. Working together, the Doctor and his TARDIS built a console from the remnants of other TARDISes and piloted it into his TARDIS. When Idris died, the matrix was released back into the TARDIS, where it drove out House. During this adventure, the Doctor learned that when he had stolen his TARDIS, it had wanted to leave Gallifrey as much as he did. (DW: The Doctor's Wife)

By this point, the Doctor realised Amy was a Ganger through his failed attempts to scan her for pregnancy, and that her true self was being held captive somewhere else in time. (DW: A Good Man Goes to War)

The Doctor and his companions crash-landed in the 22nd century when a solar tsunami struck the TARDIS. They found a factory mining acid. Miranda Cleaves, the factory's boss, showed the time travellers a substance called "the Flesh", which created clones (known as gangers) of the workers for hazardous duty. Another 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 group wished to destroy the other. While hiding from hostile gangers, the Doctor met a ganger of himself. (DW: The Rebel Flesh)

He got along well with his copy. To see if Amy could also, his ganger and he switched 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 life. After setting up a conference for ganger rights, he revealed Amy was actually a ganger. Promising Amy that Rory and he would find her, the Doctor dissolved her. (DW: The Almost People)

Finding Melody Pond
The Doctor spent a month collecting on old debts from many races and times, assembling an army to rescue Amy and her new baby, Melody. After his masquerading as a headless monk caused chaos amongst the Church and their allies, the Doctor won the battle without bloodshed in under four minutes. However, this was a trap set by Madame Kovarian, who escaped with the real Melody after dissolving the ganger she had left in her place; this was the Doctor's darkest hour. Much to his shock, the Doctor was informed by the recently arrived River Song that she was Melody. Confident that he would find her past self, the Doctor left his remaining allies to be taken home by River. (DW: A Good Man Goes to War)

During his search, the Doctor received a phone call from Amy, only to let the TARDIS's answering machine get the call instead; he was there at the console. He listened to Amy's pleas to find Melody with guilt, as he had failed in his promise to find her. As he listened, he learned Amy had been told the truth by River as well. He then continued his search for Melody. (WC: Prequel (Let's Kill Hitler))

After searching for Melody, the Doctor discovered a newspaper article on a crop circle in the form of his name, which led him to Amy and Rory, who waited all summer. However, he was then forced at gunpoint by their childhood friend Mels to take her to kill Hitler. He accidentally crashed the TARDIS into a humanoid ship called the Teselecta, piloted by the Justice Department, miniaturised time travellers wishing to punish Hitler for his crimes. Mels then revealed herself as Melody when she regenerated into a form the Doctor and his companions recognised as River Song after getting hit by stray bullet. Left dying from an unexpected poisoned kiss, the Doctor kept the Teselecta from punishing Melody for his murder. He then learned from its records the Silence wanted him dead to keep "silence" from falling when the "first question" was answered; they were also a religion, not a species. He died after leaving Melody a message for River, but once she learned River was her, Melody used her remaining regenerations to revive him. He then left her in the best hospital in the universe to be treated, with the diary to record their adventures. Though he now knew of his death through a download from the Teselecta, the Doctor didn't tell his companions. (DW: Let's Kill Hitler)

Later travels with Amy and Rory
Seeing a cry for help on his psychic paper, the Doctor was led to visit a young boy named George, whose monsters were real. This led to George's father Alex being sucked into a doll house in the cupboard, along with the Doctor, Amy and Rory. It held peg dolls who had turned Amy into one of them to chase Rory. The Doctor realised George was an alien come to Alex and his wife as they could not have children; the doll house was where George put all his fears, but they were out of control. The Doctor forced George to face them and everyone escaped the doll house. The Doctor promised to check on George during puberty in case something else went awry. (DW: Night Terrors)

Checking his mail, the Doctor found a letter from his old friend, the Horse Lord of Karn (or Trevor as he likes to be called). This lead the Doctor to the planet psychiatric hospital, Bedlam, where he discovered Trevor, along with many other species had their minds transfered into the empty ones of the servents of that time as part of a way to perfect the process for the terminaly ill or injured. Accidently switching bodies with Amy, the Doctor managed to reverse the process and have the staff of Bedlam arrested. (IDW: Body Snatched)

The Doctor decided his friends needed some time off and took them to the second most popular vacation spot in the universe, Apalapucia. Amy accidentally admitted herself into the Two Streams Facility for Chen-7, lethal to the Doctor but harmless to humans. The Doctor locked onto Amy's timestream thirty-six years later, and had to deal with her angry older self to rescue her younger self. He left the older Amy behind, erasing her timestream and replacing it with the past Amy. Rory, who felt he was becoming like the Doctor when it came to difficult decisions, was infuriated. (DW: The Girl Who Waited)

The TARDIS collided with a Rutan ship in the 13th century, which crashed on the future site of the Houses of Parliament. In stasis until 1605, it sent a distress call. The TARDIS responded and landed in London, where proximity to the crashed ship caused dimensional lesions throughout the city. With the town crier, Geoffrey Plum, the Doctor closed the lesions and infiltrated the ranks of the Gunpowder Plotters, led by Robert Catesby and the Rutan Elizabeth Winters. The Doctor learnt Winters would use the destruction of Parliament and death of King James I to allow her ship to take off. He put Parliament in orbit momentarily, and the Rutan ship took off. The Sontarans and Rutans fought over two missing doomsday weapons programmed to destroy the Sontaran race. The Doctor reprogrammed one to target the Rutan host, stalemating the Rutan-Sontaran War. After returning Parliament, he left Guy Fawkes inside a locked room filled with gunpowder, where King James' men came to arrest him. (VG: The Gunpowder Plot)

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 long wished. Realising his travels were becoming too dangerous for Amy and Rory, the Doctor returned them home. He promised Amy to tell River her parents wanted her to visit. (DW: The God Complex)

Prolonging the inevitable
Knowing his death was a fixed point in time, the Doctor went on a "farewell tour". (DW: Closing Time) He participated in many events, "waving" at Amy and Rory throughout history. Some of these escapades included being 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, under the name John Smith. He also had adventures with River Song: a trip to Easter Island, where he was adored, and a meeting with "Jim the Fish", who was still building his dam when the Doctor checked up on him. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut)

At the end of his farewell tour 194 years later, the Doctor visted Craig. By then Craig and Sophie had had a son, Alfie. The Doctor noticed power fluctuations, which prevented him from seeing the Alignment of Exodor. However, it was a good thing he stayed. With Craig's help, the Doctor 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 Alfie made the Cybermen overload and explode. The Doctor used the last of his free time to repair damages to Craig's home caused during their adventure. As he walked towards the TARDIS, he saw three children and briefly spoke to them. At the Luna University, in the 52nd century, River read from their witness accounts that he seemed "happy, but sad." (DW: Closing Time)

Cheating death and marriage
Before going to his death, the Doctor wanted to know why. After finding Dorium Maldovar's still-living head following his decapitation at Demon's Run, the Doctor learned that the Silence wanted him dead out of fear of him answering the question only he knew the answer to: "Doctor Who?" He then decided against continuing his farewell tour once he learned of the Brigadier's passing. After asking the Teselecta captain to deliver the four letters to his past self, River, Amy and Rory, and Canton, the Doctor was asked if there was anything else they could do. Acting on a most brilliant idea, the Doctor had himself and the TARDIS miniaturised and taken into the Teselecta, while it took on his appearance and mannerisms.

At Lake Silencio, Utah, on April 22, 2011 at 5:02 pm, River Song, in an astronaut suit, emerged from the lake. Instead of shooting, River emptied the suit's weapon system. This caused time to collapse, making the date and time always 22 April 2011, 5:02 PM; the only way to reverse the damage was for both of them to touch long enough so time could resume and his "death" could occur.

After he was brought to Area 52, the Doctor met a group led by Amy, trying to restart time without killing him. However, numerous Silents attacked the base to kill the Doctor themselves, forcing him to marry River and reveal the charade. Now that she knew the Teselecta would be shot and not him, River kissed the robot, allowing time to revert to Lake Silencio, Utah, April 22, 2011, 5:02 pm; every living thing in the Universe was saved, and the Doctor "died".

After his fake funeral, the Doctor visited Dorium and told him he would "return to the shadows" and visit his wife often, at night. Dorium warned him about the "fall of the eleventh", the "oldest question in the universe", and that when the question was asked, silence must fall. However, the Doctor simply paid him no mind and seemed pleased when Dorium repeated the question. (DW: The Wedding of River Song)

Return to the shadows
In 1938, the Doctor boarded a spaceship about to attack Earth. He called Amy in the TARDIS, but realised she couldn't fly the TARDIS, he didn't have the co-ordinates and she had left the TARDIS long ago. He said, "Merry Christmas, Amelia" and blew up the ship. (WC: Prequel (The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe)) He escaped in an impact suit facing the wrong way round, and crashed in a field in England. Madge Arwell was bicycling by and helped him find his 'police box'.

On Christmas Eve 1941, the Doctor received Madge's wish and did his best to ensure her children, Cyril and Lily, had a great Christmas. However, things went wrong when a present he gave them, a time portal to a planet in the year 5345, was opened prematurely by Cyril. This led him on an adventure to save the life force of the forest with Madge's help by acting as a "mothership" to transport them through the time vortex. In a shocking twist, Madge had accidentally brought her husband, Reg, through the Vortex as well, leading to the rumour he had been shot down over the English Channel. Upon trying to leave, the Doctor was ordered by Madge to spend time with his family. This led the Doctor to having Christmas dinner with his parents-in-law, Amy and Rory, in 2013. (DW: The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe)

Despite what was a somewhat tearful reunion (for the Doctor), he apparently continued travelling on his own afterwards, but kept in contact with his in-laws by phoning them occasionally to let them know how he was doing, or even briefly dropping in, though during one of these visits he accidentally deposited an Ood with them for a time. On his travels he visited Florinall 9 where he escaped Sontarans, met up with Mata Hari in Paris, sang backups for an album and went crashing into ancient Greece. He later explained that the Ood must have escaped the TARDIS during his visit. He intended to drop the creature off at the Ood Sphere. (WC: Pond Life)

 * At some point, he bought a street in New York in Amy's name to get the best burgers in all of history for free. He even suggested a new burger, which he called "The Doctor Burger".(NSA: The Forgotten Army) Oddly, he suggested bacon be a part of it, despite claiming it could poison him. (DW: The Eleventh Hour)
 * He arranged to either have a knitting or biplane lesson in 1911, but didn't make because of the invitation from his future self calling him to America. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut)
 * The Doctor discovered a decapitated king was not the robot duplicate of himself and reattached his head, somehow keeping him alive. (DW: The Doctor's Wife)
 * He planned to memorize every room in the universe, but had the day off before reuniting with Amy and Rory. The Doctor appeared to have been joking at the time (DW: Let's Kill Hitler)
 * The Doctor prevented an infant Drexxon from freeing two adult versions from imprisonment, which would cause untold destruction. He defeated them by leading an orchestra in playing a Venusian lullaby, something he hadn't done since his third incarnation, and resealing them. (NSA: Death Riders)
 * The Doctor saved Parallife from the System Wipe virus. (NSA: System Wipe)
 * The Doctor prevented six Weeping Angels from tricking a man into saving his wife from a car accident in the past, preventing a temporal paradox they could feed on. (NSA: Touched by an Angel)
 * He allowed a sentient robotic T-Rex calling itself Kevin to join him, Amy and Rory during their travels after it helped stop the Sontarans. The Doctor was asked by Kevin to help him find a better purpose in life other than being a mechanical T-Rex attraction at the museum. (IDW: When Worlds Collide)
 * The Doctor had many unsuccessful trips with Kevin along, often hindered by his size and appearance, which caused trouble quite frequently. However, those intimidated allowed the Doctor to avoid the "running away" option a lot. (Between IDW: When Worlds Collide - Space Squid)
 * Ending up at the North Pole by accident, the Doctor helped Santa fight off robots wanting the presents. However, because the reindeer were injured during the skirmish, the Doctor toke Santa in the TARDIS to deliver the presents, even leaving winning lottery numbers for a homeless child and mother. He received a new sonic screwdriver as his presetnt, having burned out his old one to retreive the presents. (IDW: Silent Knight) When he delivered Amy and Rory's present, he relented just this once and wrote "Williams" on the gift tag, crossing out "Pond".
 * Constructing a battlesuit to help Kevin fight, the Doctor left him behind to be the new chief of security on a space station in the future, fulfilling his promise to help Kevin find a better life. (IDW: Space Squid)
 * He used a Time Lord trick by stopping both his hearts, which confused a computer in Terminal 4000. He has tried this many times to deceive his survival. (NSA:  Terminal of Despair)
 * The Doctor addicently landed the TARDIS right in the middle of the track at the 2012 Olympics, where he prevented a Weeping Angel from stealing the torch and running the games. The grateful torch runner gave the Doctor his own gold medal as thanks. (DW: Good as Gold) This contridicts his previous incarnation being the one who lit the Olympic flame in Fear Her.

Personality
The eleventh incarnation was energetic, lively, brash, eccentric and very alien in contrast to his immediate predecessor. He was resourceful and quick thinking, able to spin things to his point of view and find positive outlooks in negative situations. (DW: The Eleventh Hour) When things looked bleakest, he liked to have those around him focus on survival. (DW: A Christmas Carol)

When thinking about how to solve a problem, this Doctor blocked out all outside distractions, even his companions' comments. He told Amy, "You're dying, shut up" so he could concentrate on working out how to save her. He was even backed by River about his comment. (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. (DW: The Time of Angels) The smugness he showed was described by Amy as being frightening. (DW: The God Complex)

He thought aloud when he was panicking or stressed. (DW: The Pandorica Opens) The Eleventh tended to babble about what he knew about a current situation to come up with a plan, (DW: The Eleventh Hour, The Hungry Earth, et. al.) believing that he would have one when he finished talking. (DW: Flesh and Stone)

This incarnation of the Doctor was quite childlike and playful, and was very kind to and admired by children for his eccentric personality. One child described him as funny. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, et. al.) He showed a great deal of compassion for children, unable to resist helping if one was upset or scared. (DW: The Beast Below, The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood, Night Terrors)

He also disliked being around people who were too slow to figure things out. (DW: The Lodger, The Big Bang, Day of the Moon, The Almost People, Night Terrors, Closing Time, The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe)

He showed arrogance at times, telling Amy, "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 often praised or congratulated himself on an extraordinary plan. (DW: The Eleventh Hour) Much like his seventh self, he seemed to occasionally play the part of the mastermind, putting elaborate plans in place and executing them, even though that execution emotionally hurt his loved ones. (DW: The Girl Who Waited, DW: The Wedding of River Song)

The Eleventh Doctor was very hostile to the Daleks, saying they were the worst things in creation and attacking one to provoke it into revealing its true nature. (DW: Victory of the Daleks) He still preferred to settle problems through negotiation rather than violence, but could be ruthless if he saw it was useless to try being kind and peaceful. (DW: A Christmas Carol, Day of the Moon)

He was not keen on hiding his emotions, much like the First Doctor. He often showed his anger when his tolerance reached its limits. (DW; The Beast Below, Victory of the Daleks, A Good Man Goes to War et. al.') This Doctor was less adept than his previous incarantion at handling romantic situations, and reacted awkwardly when kissed by his companions Amy Pond (DW: Flesh and Stone) and River Song. (DW:Day of the Moon) He was also quite uncomfortable with his TARDIS calling itself "Sexy" when others were around. (DW: The Doctor's Wife)

He showed less 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, he demonstrated that he still felt the loneliness of being the last of his kind. (DW: The Hungry Earth) In a bubble universe, the Doctor was given a ray of hope that he wasn't the last of the Time Lords. When it turned out that he was indeed the last, he began to cry. He also desired on some level to be forgiven for what he had done in the Time War. (DW: The Doctor's Wife)

The Eleventh Doctor had a tendency towards self-loathing for his actions. He was able to realize that the Dream Lord was an aspect of his unconscious because "Nobody in the universe could hate me as much as I do." (DW: Amy's Choice). When the TARDIS created a holographic interface in his image, he told the computer to show someone he liked; he then rejected images of Rose Tyler, Martha Jones, and Donna Noble, stating, "There must be someone's life I haven't screwed up yet!" (DW: Let's Kill Hitler) While his previous incarnation had viewed his pending regeneration with much dread, not wanting to "die", the Eleventh Doctor viewed the possibility of regeneration due to being poisoned as "not so bad." (DW: Let's Kill Hitler).

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 reality. (DW: The Big Bang) Despite this, he expressed that he was not a good man. (DW: A Good Man Goes to War) His arrogance was a facade to hide his insecurities. He felt guilty over ruining his companions' lives. (DW: Let's Kill Hitler, The God Complex)

While initially shocked by River's romantic advances, (DW: Day of the Moon) he eventually enjoyed them and started flirting with her in return. When "he" married her, he used the Teselecta in his form to kiss her passionately. He visited her frequently after the wedding. (DW: The Wedding of River Song)

Habits, quirks and skills
The Eleventh Doctor had incredible eyesight and an eidetic memory. He could scan an entire scene and pick out tiny details. He encouraged 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. It even helped him prepare counter-measures for people he knew well, such as River. (DW: A Christmas Carol, Let's Kill Hitler) He also took a liking to people who were very observant and good at making deductions like himself, such as Rita. (DW: The God Complex)

He talked with his hands and calculated with 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 uttered malapropisms. (DW: The Time of Angels, The Vampires of Venice) He rambled, making rapid amendments to his speech, 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)

Despite originally seeing his physical appearance as rubbish, (DW: The Eleventh Hour) this Doctor appeared to like how he looked as he admired himself in a mirror more than once. (DW: The Vampires of Venice, Vincent and the Doctor, The Lodger, Night Terrors) However, he became annoyed when someone else looked in a mirror, though it was when his companions were in danger. (DW: The Doctor's Wife)

The Eleventh Doctor liked fish custard (DW: The Eleventh Hour) and Jammie Dodgers, (DW: Victory of the Daleks, The Impossible Astronaut) but disliked drinking any kind of wine. (DW: The Lodger, The Impossible Astronaut). Though he originaly hated apples, (DW: The Eleventh Hour) the Doctor seemed to begin liking them. (DW: The God Complex)

He was fond of hats and often tried to find one to wear. Such hats included a top hat, (NSA: Paradox Lost, DW: The Big Bang, Let's Kill Hitler), 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, The Wedding of River Song) He wore bowties, often insisting, "Bowties are cool", usually when Amy recommended getting rid of it. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, Vincent and the Doctor, The Lodger, The Almost People, A Good Man Goes to War)

He usually referred to things as "cool"; said things were generally unpopular. 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 glasses. (DW: The Girl Who Waited) The Doctor used analogies of what higher technology or people could be compared to and would then change his mind, saying that the comparisons were not like that at all. (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) He had also showed an interest in knitting, or learning to knit. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut, The Wedding of River Song)

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 liking for the word, "Geronimo," often exclaiming it when diving into a new or unexpected situation, although he also used it on occasion as a word of approval for a set of clothes Amy gave him. (DW: The End of Time, The Eleventh Hour, The Beast Below, The Big Bang, The Wedding of River Song)

Occasionally, the Doctor would tease or flirt with River Song, annoying onlookers. (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) However, despite being husband and wife, the Doctor could still be hostile towards River at times when her refusal to listen to him would end up costing people their lives. (DW: Let's Kill Hitler, The Wedding of River Song)

He had a habit of referring to his companions by surname, much as his first incarnation had with Ian Chesterton, though this was a sign of affection rather than to annoy his companions. (DW: The Big Bang, A Christmas Carol, The Impossible Astronaut, SJA: Death of the Doctor)

He also, like the First and Sixth Doctors, disliked being called Doc. (NSA: The King's Dragon)

This incarnation also got distracted easily. Sometimes it pertained to someting only he found facinating, even disregarding important matters. His companions noticed this and tried to make sure he wasn't. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, Victory of the Daleks, Vampires of Venice, Amy's Choice, The Hungry Earth, Cold Blood, The Lodger, The Big Bang, A Christmas Carol, The Curse of the Black Spot, The Doctor's Wife, The Rebel Flesh, Let's Kill Hitler, The God Complex)

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 would leave them in the safest place possible. At times, he would trick them into doing so 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 Doctor could analyse objects by taste or smell. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, The Time of Angels, The Hungry Earth, Day of the Moon) 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, The Rebel Flesh) though some of the objects made little sense. (DW: The Rebel Flesh) He still relied on his psychic paper, though to a lesser extent than his previous incarnation. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, Vampires of Venice, The Hungry Earth, Vincent and the Doctor, The Lodger (TV story), A Christmas Carol (TV story), The Rebel Flesh, Night Terrors)

This Doctor showed the ability to quiet a crowd simply by saying the word "hush", much to the wonderment of his companion at the time Craig Owens. Whether or not this was just personality traits or some form of telepathy was made unclear. He seemed to lie to Craig about it only working once "on lifeforms with underdeveloped brains", which included humans, as he shushed Kelly three times. (DW: Closing Time)

He used telepathy occasionally. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, The Lodger, The Big Bang) Much like his previous incarnation, he felt his age when it took him a longer time to figure things out. (DW: Vincent and the Doctor) Because of his age, he only saw the negative things about life. (DW: Closing Time) However, he admitted he could see the positive things through the help of companions. (DW: Meanwhile in the TARDIS)

As he discovered when posing as a human, the Eleventh Doctor was incredibly skilled at playing football, receiving much praise from his team and jealousy from Craig Owens. (DW: The Lodger)

He also had an apparent affinity for Earth pop culture, striking up friendships with the likes of Frank Sinatra (DW: A Christmas Carol), appearing with the Anglo-American comedy duo Laurel and Hardy in a movie (DW: Let's Kill Hitler), and even recording backing vocals for a rap singer. He also at one point had a dalliance with iconic early-20th century spy Mata Hari. (WC: Pond Life)

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, which is how he figured who the Dream Lord was (DW: Amy's Choice) and 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 as most of his (and the Tenth's) companions ended up hurt in some way though their travels with him. (DW: The God Complex, Closing Time)

Appearance
This incarnation had long, dark hair which initially made him believe himself female. He confirmed that he wasn't by his Adam’s apple, but was annoyed his regeneration had not made him ginger as he wished to have been in his previous incarnation. He had a large chin, which his TARDIS found hilarious, and green eyes. Upon inspecting his nose, the Doctor commmented, "I've had worse". (DW: The End of Time) He claimed his feet were size 10, but quite wide, when asking for a replacement pair of shoes. (DW: The Rebel Flesh)

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)

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 was fond of hats. While in the National Museum, he found a fez he liked a lot. It was later removed by Amy and destroyed by River Song. (DW: The Big Bang) He looked for another, which he found and wore during a trip with Kazran Sardick and Abigail Pettigrew. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut, A Christmas Carol) He received a Stetson hat from Craig Owens, which he wore for his "death" in America. (DW: Closing Time, The Wedding of River Song) He wore a top hat at least twice, once at Amy and Rory's wedding, (DW: The Big Bang) once after having been poisoned by River. (DW: Let's Kill Hitler)

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) He wore it again when confronting the Teselecta, along with a sonic cane. (DW: Let's Kill Hitler)

While travelling with the married couple, the Doctor wore a new tweed jacket with a faint striped pattern, a checked shirt with a burgundy bow tie and braces, new black trousers and new boots. He would vary the design of his shirt and tie. While visiting Abigail Pettigrew every Christmas Eve, he wore many different outfits, 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 often afterward, he would wear a dark green overcoat, mostly in places that were cold. However, he still switched it with the tweed jacket when he felt like it. (DW: Let's Kill Hitler, The Girl Who Waited, Closing Time, The Wedding of River Song)

Meeting himself
While different incarnations of the Doctor have interacted in the past, the eleventh Doctor is notable for interacting directly with the same incarnation from different points in time, despite the violation of the First Law of Time, on at least three occasions:


 * Just prior to his resetting of the universe, when he encountered a version of himself, apparently mortally wounded, from a few minutes into his future. His future self whispered something into this past self's ear before "expiring" (although this was ultimately a ruse). (DW: The Big Bang)
 * During a bizarre incident in which the TARDIS materialized inside itself and the Doctor exploited time paradox created by this in order to tell himself how to resolve the situation. (DW: Time)
 * During an accidental crossing of the time streams when the Doctor encountered a future version of himself as he was about to share one final adventure with River Song before she met her final fate, during which they had a brief conversation about his (and her) future. (DW: Last Night)

Although the Doctor has previously encountered or viewed his current incarnation from different points in the time stream (DW: Day of the Daleks, Father's Day), the eleventh Doctor's encounters with himself were more substantial in nature, on two occasions contributing to the resolution of a dilemma, and the third involving discussion about a major event in the Doctor's life.

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).
 * 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.
 * 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 — 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 . 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%.
 * The non-narrative source REF: The Brilliant Book 2012 stated that the Eleventh Doctor came up with the idea for the dwarf star alloy prison to trap a Silent while Canton secretly allowed the Doctor to look at Area 51's alien artefacts.
 * According to The Brilliant Book 2012 (a non-narrative based book), at an unknown time before the Ganger incident, the Doctor saved Commander Strax from death and investigated the Flesh.
 * The Eleventh Doctor is the first incarnation of the Doctor since the First Doctor 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. (DW: The Wedding of River Song)
