Eleventh Doctor

The Eleventh Doctor was the eleventh incarnation of the renegade Time Lord known as the Doctor. Although he was very alien compared to his previous incarnation, he retained his vigour for defending the Universe. He had a more eccentric personality than his previous self. He eventually married River Song, making him the son-in-law of companions Amy Pond and Rory Williams.

Foreshadowing
In 1851 London, the Tenth Doctor met a human called Jackson Lake, who believed himself to be 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 imminent "death." (DW: Planet of the Dead)

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

Post-Regeneration
After absorbing a vast amount of radiation, the Doctor's tenth incarnation regenerated in his TARDIS. The energy released caused great damage to the vessel. Addled by the regeneration, he did not immediately realize 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, the Doctor met Amelia Pond, a lonely little Scottish girl with a mysterious crack in her bedroom wall. An alien called Prisoner Zero had escaped from a prison on its other side. Before he could investigate further, the cloister bell brought him back to the TARDIS.

The Doctor promised Amelia he would return in five minutes and have her travel with him. Due to the damaged engines, he arrived twelve years later. He persuaded 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 and inviting her to join him on his travels. It took him two years. The Doctor did not know he had arrived the night before her wedding. He agreed to return her the next morning. (DW: The Eleventh Hour)

Early travels
For their first trip, the Doctor took Amy to the late 33rd century on the Starhip UK, where they saved a Star Whale from the unintended cruelty of the ship's inhabitants; the Doctor also learned that his past experiences with royalty had made him a legend to the royal family. While preparing to leave, the Doctor got a phone call from Winston Churchill asking for help. (DW: The Beast Below)

Amy and the Doctor arrived in World War II London a month after the call. Winston had two Dalek survivors of the War in the Medusa Cascade, pretending to aid Britain in the war against the Nazis. The Doctor fell into a trap when trying to prove the Daleks were evil; he inadvertently helped them use a Progenitor device to rebuild their race. Forced to choose either saving the Earth from being destroyed by an Oblivion Contiuum or finishing the Daleks once and for all, the Doctor chose the Earth and let the Daleks escape. However, he became quite curious as to why Amy had no recollection of the Daleks. (DW: Victory of the Daleks)

Finding a calling card from River Song in a museum, the Doctor was led into a hunt for a Weeping Angel with her and the Church. However, it turned out that an entire army was waiting for them and a growing crack in time also posed a threat. 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, hetricked the Angels into falling into the crack. (DW: The Time of Angels / 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 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) They also fell into the traps of the Dream Lord, a manifestation of the Doctor's dark side evoked by Psychic pollen. The Doctor solved the Dream Lord's puzzle of which reality was real, but feared the dark entity still dwelt within his psyche, waiting for another game. (DW: Amy's Choice) Landing in Cwmtaff, Wales by error, the Doctor found a drilling operation had disturbed a Silurian city and its inhabitants were retaliating. Capturing a Silurian for a bargaining chip, the Doctor tried to strike a treaty between humans and the Silurians. However, the humans did not trust the Silurians due to their hostile military commander, Restac. 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 Restac meant for him. The Doctor left Rory's body behind to be 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: The Hungry Earth / 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 generators, 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 Rory, the Doctor took Amy to nice places, but was challenged to save Vincent van Gogh from a Krafayis, a beast only Vincent could see. The Doctor and Vincent's battle with the Krafayis ended in the creature's death. The Doctor took Vincent to an art gallery where the painter was able to see just how much people would care about his work. (DW: Vincent and the Doctor)

The Doctor spent some time living in a Colchester flat after the TARDIS dematerialised with Amy inside. 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. (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 imprisoned him in the Pandorica to prevent the cracks in time from occuring. When the Doctor had been sealed inside, the TARDIS exploded anyway; 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 nearly two thousand years into the future, 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 fast-forwarding 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 Smith and Jo Jones 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 they could honeymoon at. (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) Luckily, a second version of Amy arrived and explained the outer shell had drifted into the near future. The Doctor told himself how to undo the space loop. (DW: Time)

Later travels
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 did not know they had 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, where US President Richard Nixon consulting Canton about a mysterious call. The Doctor traced it to Florida, where the caller, a little girl, was kept in a biomechanical "spacesuit" and found Earth was occupied by the Silents. (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 the Silence's plot. His plan included Canton and the FBI hunting down Amy, Rory and River in a nationwide search. He then reluctanly sent River and the Ponds on their own nationwide search; to find infomation about the Silence. He gave them Cryostasis podlets for when Canton would pretend to kill them.

While kept in Area 51, the Doctor remained chained to a chair in the centre of a room. He was given soda pop regularly through a special straw. Every Tuesday, Canton would get rid of the guards to allow the Doctor to stretch his legs and explore the Nevada base and look at the alien artefacts housed there. Among the artefacts was a stack of Dwarf star alloy, which gave the Doctor the idea of using it as a prison for himself. (REF: The Brilliant Book 2012)

After three months, the Doctor's plan began. He was interned at Area 51 while Canton feigned hunting down his friends. The Doctor captured a Silent and drove it to say "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 the defeat of the Silence assured, the Doctor set off for new adventures with Amy and Rory after returning River to Stormcage, where she kissed him. (DW: Day of the Moon)

The TARDIS received a distress signal, leading the TARDIS crew to a pirate ship, the Fancy, in the 17th century. The pirates were being terrorised by a "Siren". After the crew and Rory had been taken by the Siren, it turned out she was a virtual physician from an invisible and intangible spaceship occupying the same space as the Fancy. The Fancy's crew took over the spaceship to give the Siren someone to look after. (DW: The Curse of the Black Spot)

The Doctor followed a distress signal from a time lord to a sentient planetoid called House in a bubble universe. The Doctor's TARDIS was placed in Idris. From the remnants of other TARDISes they built a new one and piloted it into the Doctor's. When Idris died, she was released back into the TARDIS, where it drove out House, who had taken control in its absence. The Doctor learned he had not stolen his TARDIS by chance; it had wanted to leave Gallifrey as much as he did. (DW: The Doctor's Wife)

The Doctor and his companions crash-landed in the 22nd century when a solar tsunami struck the TARDIS. They found a factory mining acid. 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 Rory and he would find her, he dissolved her. (DW: The Almost People)

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 Pond. After masquerading as a headless monk to cause chaos amongst the Church and their allies, the Doctor won the battle without bloodshed in under four minutes. This was a trap by Madame Kovarian, who escaped with the real Melody after dissolving the Ganger she had left in her place. River appeared and revealed herself as Melody Pond. The Doctor left to find and save her from Kovarian while River returned his friends to their proper times. (DW: A Good Man Goes to War)

During his search, Amy called the Doctor, only to be left on the TARDIS's answering machine, despite the fact the Doctor was there. The Doctor listened to Amy's pleas with guilt, as he had failed with his promise to find Melody. (WC: Prequel (Let's Kill Hitler))

After Amy and Rory had waited "all summer", the Doctor noticed a newspaper showing a crop circle of his name and visited them. Their childhood friend Mels demanded at gunpoint the Doctor take her to kill Adolf Hitler. He crashed the TARDIS into a humanoid ship called the Teselecta piloted by miniaturised time travellers who wished to take Hitler and punish him. However, Mels, who turned out to be Melody Pond, regenerated, into River Song. The Doctor was left dying from an unexpected poisoned kiss. He ordered her parents to catch her. He tried to talk the crew of the Teselecta to leave River alone. He learnt that the Silence wasn't a species, but a religion that feared having "silence fall" when the "first question" was asked. Melody found she was River, had a change of heart and used her remaining regenerations to bring him back. The Doctor left River in the Sisters of the Infinite Schism to be treated with a diary to begin recording their adventures. Unbeknownst to his companions, the Doctor learned of his death through a download from the Teselecta. (DW: Let's Kill Hitler)

Seeing a cry for help on his psychic paper, the Doctor visited, a young boy named George, whose monsters were real. This led to George's father Alex and him being sucked into a doll house in the cupboard. It held Peg Dolls who had turned Amy into one of themto 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. (DW: Night Terrors)

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. 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," which lasted nearly two centuries. (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. He also had adventures with River Song: a trip to Easter Island, where he was adored and meeting "Jim the Fish". (DW: The Impossible Astronaut)

In 1938, the Doctor boarded a space ship 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)) The Doctor escaped inside an impact suit facing the wrong way round. He crashed in a field in England. Madge Arwell was bicycling by and helped him find his 'police box'. (DW: The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe)

He paid a call on Craig Owens. Craig and Sophie had had a son, Alfie. The Doctor noticed power fluctuation. With Craig, he found six Cybermen rebuilding their ranks by converting kidnapped people with spare parts and using Cybermats to drain the city's power. Although Craig nearly became their new Cyber-Controller, his love for his son made the Cybermen overload. The Doctor used the last of his free time to repair damages to Craig's home. As he walked towards the TARDIS, he saw three children and briefly spoke to them. At the Luna University, in the 52nd century, River would read that the Doctor seemed "happy, but sad." (DW: Closing Time)

Before going to his death, the Doctor wanted to know why. The Silence wanted him dead, fearing he would answer a question only he knew the answer to: "Doctor Who?" The captain of the Teselecta asked if there was anything he could do to help; the Doctor was miniaturised with the TARDIS and taken into it, while the Teselecta took on his appearance. At Lake Silencio, Utah, on April 22, 2011 at 5:02 PM, River Song in an astronaut suit emerged from the lake. 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 P.M. After he was brought to Area 52, the Doctor married River and revealed the charade. Realising she would "kill" the Teselecta, and not the real Doctor, River Song kissed him. Time reverted to Lake Silencio, Utah April 22, 2011, 5:02 P.M and resumed; every living thing in the Universe was saved, and River shot the  Teselecta. After his fake funeral, the Doctor visited Dorium and told him he would "return to the shadows" and visit his wife often, at night. (DW: The Wedding of River Song)

Return to the Shadows
On Christmas Day 1941, the Doctor gave Madge and her children, Cyril and Lily, a planet in the year 5345 inside a Christmas present at a house where he took over as caretaker as a Christmas present. There, Madge saved a forest on that planet from being harvested and recovered her husband, Reg, who would otherwise have been shot down over the English Channel, by using the time vortex. Madge ordered the Doctor to go and see Amy and Rory. He visited them in 2013 for Christmas dinner. (DW: The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe)

Undated/unchronicled events

 * The Eleventh Doctor took River Song to Darillium to see the Singing Towers. (DW: Forest of the Dead, DW: Last Night)
 * The Eleventh Doctor attended the funeral of Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. (ST: The Gift)
 * The Eleventh Doctor saved the Sontaran Commander Strax from death. (REF: The Brilliant Book 2012)

 * The Eleventh Doctor and River Song met Cleopatra, whom the duo considered a pushover after River pointed a gun at the Egyptian Queen. (DW: The Wedding of River Song)

Personality
The eleventh incarnation was energetic, lively, brash, eccentric and very alien. 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 a problem, he blocked out all outside distractions. He told Amy "you're dying shut up" so he could concentrate on working out how to save her. (DW: Flesh and Stone)

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

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

He was not keen on hiding his emotions, often showing his his anger. Unlike his previous incarnation, he wasn't adept at romance and reacted awkwardly when Amy Pond or River Song kissed him. (DW: Flesh and Stone, Day of the Moon) He was also quite uncomfortable with his TARDIS calling itself "Sexy", which he called it in private. (DW: The Doctor's Wife)

He seemed to have resolved much of the survivor's guilt of his ninth and tenth incarnations, referring to the Last Great Time War as a "bad day". (DW: The Beast Below) When he interrogated Alaya, the Eleventh implied some guilt remained. (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. (DW: The Doctor's Wife)

This incarnation was selfless, willing to sacrifice himself for his friends or for the greater good. He closed the cracks in time although he knew he would end up on the wrong side and be erased from reality. (DW: The Big Bang) Despite this he did not believe he was a good man. 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 enjoyed them and eventually started flirting with her in return. When the Doctor married her, he kissed her passionately, albeit whilst inside the Teselecta. He seemed to genuinely love River often visiting her after their wedding and frequently saying "Hi honey, I'm home". (DW: The Wedding of River Song)

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

He 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)

The Doctor liked fish custard (DW: The Eleventh Hour) and Jammie Dodgers, (DW: Victory of the Daleks, The Impossible Astronaut) but disliked wine. (DW: The Lodger, The Impossible Astronaut) He was fond of hats, included a top hat (NSA: Paradox Lost), a fez (DW: The Big Bang, A Christmas Carol, The Impossible Astronaut, Death is the Only Answer), and a Stetson. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut, Closing Time) 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, A Good Man Goes to War) He referred to things as "cool", usually generally unpopular things. Amongst them were his bow ties, fezzes (DW: The Big Bang), Stetsons (DW: The Impossible Astronaut), Apollo technology (DW: Day of the Moon), bunk beds (DW: The Doctor's Wife) and glasses. (DW: The Girl Who Waited)

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. (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) He was interested in knitting. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut, 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 annoyance. (DW: The Big Bang, A Christmas Carol, The Impossible Astronaut, SJA: Death of the Doctor)

When facing a personal problem, a sense of honour or when seeing a situation as too dangerous for his companions, the Doctor would demand they return to the TARDIS or leave them in the safest place possible. At times, he would trick them into doing so 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) He still relied on his psychic paper, though to a lesser extent than his previous incarnation.

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 longer times to figure things out. (DW: Vincent and the Doctor)

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

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

Appearance
This incarnation had long, dark hair which initially made him believe himself female. He confirmed that he wasn't by his Adam’s apple, but was annoyed he was not ginger. He had a large chin and green eyes. His comment on his nose was 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 similar clothes in the TARDIS wardrobe.

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

This Doctor was fond of hats. While in the National Museum, the Doctor found a fez he liked a lot. It was later removed by Amy and destroyed by River Song. He looked for another. (DW: The Big Bang, DW: The Impossible Astronaut) He received a Stetson hat from Craig Owens, which he wore when he faced his oncoming "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)

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 visting 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 exchanged his tweed jacket for a dark green greatcoat. (DW: Let's Kill Hitler, The Girl Who Waited, Closing Time, The Wedding of River Song)

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

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

Trivia

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

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 Strategy Room — was the character of Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones, Jr., as he was most often clothed on the campus of Barnett College.
 * When queried about the exact nature of the bow tie, Karen Gillan told the audience of the 2 April 2010 edition of the CBBC programme, Laugh Out Loud, that Smith's bow tie wasn't a "proper" bow tie, but instead a pre-tied dicky bow. This can be confirmed by carefully watching him put on the tie in The Eleventh Hour, although the action is somewhat obscured by the Atraxi projection.
 * One clothing retailer reported that in the month following the airing of DW: The Eleventh Hour, in which the Doctor declared that "bow ties are cool," its bow tie sales increased by 94%.
