First Doctor

The First Doctor was, by his own statement, the "original" incarnation of the Doctor. (TV: The Five Doctors, The Doctor Falls) Holding himself in high regard, he was prone to criticising those whom he felt were naïve or primitive compared to his intellect. However, he possessed compassion, warmth, and wit that made up for his egocentric nature, serving to act as a mentor and guardian figure in his elderly years. Originally a very difficult and curmudgeonly person, the First Doctor matured from an apparent selfishness and became more inviting. His happier, kinder characteristics were fostered when he began to acquire an entourage of companions to accompany him throughout the wonders of the fourth dimension and learned to be a caregiver with a sense of justice in a universe afflicted by evils.

Beginning after he fled his home world of Gallifrey, his travels through time and space were mostly random owing to faulty components in his TARDIS. Initially, he travelled only with his granddaughter Susan Foreman. They settled for a time on Earth in 1963, where Susan was a student at Coal Hill School. He was forced to abruptly depart from Earth with Susan's teachers, Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright, kidnapping them from their own time after they went to investigate their unusual pupil. After much travel with Ian and Barbara, he bade Susan farewell to allow her to live a happier life with a man with whom she had fallen in love.

Following Susan's departure, the Doctor travelled for a short time with Ian and Barbara, before happening upon the planet Dido, a planet he knew from previous journeys. Here, he invited a new travelling companion to join him, Vicki. She reminded him of Susan, and the Doctor saw her as a surrogate to fill her spot in his travels with Ian and Barbara. Later, during a confrontation with the Daleks, the Doctor used one of their time machines to return Ian and Barbara to their proper time - something he had been unable to manage with his TARDIS.

Soon after the departure of Ian and Barbara, the Doctor and Vicki had gained a new companion in Steven Taylor, with whom the Doctor had a relatively uneasy relationship. Vicki eventually left the Doctor's company as well, also after falling in love with a man she met on one of their travels. Steven soon became bitter towards the Doctor, blaming him for the several deaths of their travelling companions Katarina and Sara Kingdom, but eventually forgave him. They were then joined by Dodo Chaplet. Ultimately, Steven decided to stay to help a civilisation they had encountered, while Dodo was later injured in an adventure and decided to remain home in her own time.

Shortly before his battle with the Cybermen of Mondas in Antarctica in December 1986, the Doctor had gained two new companions in Ben Jackson and Polly Wright, to whom he was much more kind; he hoped to prevent them from leaving as Steven had. He met his end after battling the Cybermen for the first time. He was forced to regenerate into his second body from exhaustion and a loss of strength to maintain his ancient body after Mondas drained a large portion of his life force.

Youth and upbringing
The Doctor was born on Gallifrey, home planet of the Time Lords, (TV: The War Games, The Time Warrior, Death in Heaven) "the oldest and most mighty race in the universe", (TV: The Sound of Drums) under a name that he concealed in despair. (TV: The Shakespeare Code) He was born under the sign of Crossed Computers, the symbol of the maternity service, (TV: The Creature from the Pit) with Clara Oswald also telling Robin Hood that the Doctor was born "into wealth and privilege". (TV: Robot of Sherwood)

According to one account, the Doctor was a genetic reincarnation of the Other, and was loomed into the House of Lungbarrow as a "full-grown adult", (PROSE: Lungbarrow) with the Fifth Doctor telling Patience that he was "born at Otherstide through the Loom of the House of Lungbarrow in Southern Gallifrey." (AUDIO: Cold Fusion) By other accounts, the Doctor began his life as a much smaller Time Lord. As the Eleventh Doctor told Amy Pond and Rory Williams, he slept in a cot as an infant. (TV: A Good Man Goes to War) The Ninth Doctor recalled once being a Time Tot, (COMIC: Weapons of Past Destruction) and he also referred to himself as once being a "very little boy". (TV: The Time Monster, Death in Heaven, Heaven Sent)

The Doctor stated he had a mother and father, (TV: Doctor Who) as well as a family (TV: The Tomb of the Cybermen) and childhood. (TV: The Sound of Drums) He had at least one brother, Irving Braxiatel, (PROSE: Tears of the Oracle) and an uncle. (TV: Time and the Rani) In his eighth incarnation, the Doctor claimed that he was half-human on his mother's side, (TV: Doctor Who) but later confessed it to be a ruse to trick, (COMIC: The Forgotten) with his eleventh incarnation identifying his mother as a Time Lord. (COMIC: The Comfort of the Good) A lonely and depressed youth, the Doctor didn't get along with his family, being bullied by many of his cousins, who would call him cruel names to reflect the fact that the Doctor had been loomed with a belly button. (PROSE: Lungbarrow)

According to his third incarnation, the Doctor lived in a "house that was perched halfway up the top of a mountain" in the mountains of South Gallifrey. (TV: The Time Monster, Planet of the Spiders) The house was known as Lungbarrow, and overlooked the Cadonflood River. (PROSE: Lungbarrow) He grew up in the house with his family. (PROSE: Lungbarrow, Unnatural History)

During his childhood, the Doctor would leave the house, going to sleep in a barn, (TV: Listen) located in the Drylands, (TV: Hell Bent) where he would weep over his fears, (TV: Listen) and was the "only child left out in the cold". (TV: The Empty Child) When Madame de Pompadour read the Tenth Doctor's mind, she said he was "such a lonely little boy." (TV: The Girl in the Fireplace) He had at least two imaginary friends, named Binker (AUDIO: The Abandoned) and Mandrake. (AUDIO: The Widow's Assassin)

As a Time Tot, the Doctor played hide-and-seek with the Rani, with his ninth incarnation recalling that his skill at finding her "drove her nuts". He held the Time-Tot hide and seek championship for forty-two years in a row. (COMIC: Weapons of Past Destruction) He also believed humans to be a myth as a Time Tot. (PROSE: The Shining Man)

When he was just a "small child," the Doctor's mother told him the story of Grandfather Paradox, a story which scared the Doctor so much that he worried that Grandfather Paradox was hiding in his wardrobe or under his bed. (PROSE: The Gallifrey Chronicles) Also in his childhood, the Doctor was frightened by the "mythological horror" stories about the Fendahl, (TV: Image of the Fendahl) looked to Omega as his people's greatest hero, (TV: The Three Doctors) and was told stories of the Pantheon of Discord. (TV: The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith) The Doctor also had nightmares for years about an elderly lady who had been covered in veils after she died on a hot day, with the heat causing flies to swarm around her corpse. (TV: Heaven Sent)

On "the blackest day of his life," he went to visit a hermit on the side of the mountain his family's house rested on in Southern Gallifrey. While climbing the mountain, the young Doctor saw only dull coloured rocks and weeds. However, the Hermit gave no words of advice when he heard the Doctor tell him all his troubles, but instead pointed at a flower, which the Doctor had dismissed as a weed. As he descended the mountain, the world no longer seemed so grim to him and the Doctor noticed the colours of the rocks and the vibrancy of life in the flowers. (TV: The Time Monster) The Doctor spent what he felt where some of the finest hours of his life with his guru, being taught how look into his own mind and getting told ghost stories about the King Vampire. (TV: Planet of the Spiders, State of Decay)

The Doctor wanted to be an explorer when he was young, but because the Time Lords had already explored every time and place, he didn't believe there was any point to him becoming an explorer too. He then found a reason and whenever he felt hopeless, he remembered that reason. (PROSE: The Frozen Wastes) Despite this, the Doctor would later claim to have been a pioneer amongst his people. (TV: The Rescue)

As a child, the Doctor would play conkers. (TV: The Highlanders) He also toyed with trains, (TV: The Evil of the Daleks) and had a dream to one day drive one. (TV: Black Orchid) Amongst his favourite bedtime stories were The Three Little Sontarans, The Emperor Dalek's New Clothes and Snow White and the Seven Keys to Doomsday. (TV: Night Terrors) He played in the tunnels under the Panopticon as a child. (AUDIO: Order of the Daleks) He also watched a meteor storm on Gallifrey with his father. (TV: Doctor Who)

Education
Like all Time Lords, the Doctor was taken from his caretakers at the age of eight for the selection process. (PROSE: A Brief History of Time Lords) Starring into the Untempered Schism as part of a Time Lord initiation rite, he reacted by running away. (TV: The Sound of Drums)

At the age of thirty, the Doctor asked K'anpo Rimpoche the name of the mountain on which he dwelled. He had been told by Old Lady Nine Teeth that it was called Plutarch, where his cousins called it Lung, and his friends at the Academy called it Mount Cadon. His mentor told him that the mountain had all three names, and told him that whatever he called it would determine they way in which it was climbed. (PROSE: The Three Paths)

The Doctor left the Gallifreyan equivalent of primary school aged forty-five. (PROSE: Shroud of Sorrow)

The Doctor attended the Time Lord Academy as a member of the Prydonian Chapter, and received tutelage from Borusa, (TV: The Deadly Assassin) and Azmael. (TV: The Twin Dilemma) He spent "centuries" at the Academy. (COMIC: Mortal Beloved)

On his first day at the Academy, (TV: World Enough and Time) the Doctor formed friendships with the Master and the War Chief. (PROSE: Divided Loyalties) The Master soon became the Doctor's "man crush", and the two friends formed a pact to see every star in the universe together. (TV: World Enough and Time)

While at the Time Lord Academy, the Doctor spent four days in the Cloisters, where he talked to the Cloister Wraiths, who told him of the prophecy of "the Hybrid," and showed him a secret passage out. According to his twelfth incarnation, the experience drove him "completely mad," and he was "never right in the head again" afterwards. (TV: Hell Bent)

According to, while growing up the Doctor started calling himself "Doctor Who" to "sound mysterious", but "dropped the Who when he realised it was a tiny bit on the nose." (TV: World Enough and Time)

During his first year at the Academy, the Doctor gained a troublesome reputation by trapping his teacher in a time-loop for a day, (PROSE: Island of Death) and "mucking about" with space-time portals, something the Tenth Doctor indicated were easy to create. (PROSE: Made of Steel)

While he was at the Academy, the Doctor received the nickname "Theta Sigma", or "Thete" for short, from his friends, (TV: The Armageddon Factor, The Happiness Patrol) using it to identify him uniquely amongst other Time Lords. (PROSE: Falls the Shadow)

While he was "little", the Doctor and his friend, the Master, ran together (TV: Death in Heaven) across the fields of the Master's estates by Mount Perdition. (TV: The End of Time) The Master would often hypnotise others, and the Doctor would un-hypnotise them, having learnt hypnotism from the Master. (PROSE: The Dark Path) Alongside other friends, the Doctor would ride a skimmer. (AUDIO: The Paradise of Death)

Still a "small boy", the Doctor wrote a treatise on the chromosomal origins of love. His tutor said that he missed the point entirely and gave him a "rubbish" grade. (AUDIO: The Wormery) When he was "just a kid" of ninety, he visited the Medusa Cascade. (TV: The Stolen Earth) The Eighth Doctor stated that he was a terror until the age of one-hundred-and-twenty, claiming that he was a late developer. (AUDIO: The Next Life)

When the Doctor was a young boy, Borusa told him off for his attitude, and that he would be lucky to receive a Class Three Doctorate. Borusa taught him to be seen to respect tradition, even though he did not. (COMIC: Vortex Butterflies)

At the Academy, he and the Master joined the "Gallifrey Academy Hot Five" band, with the Doctor playing the lead perigosto. (PROSE: Deadly Reunion) He once attended a party on the Moon of Korpal, and met fellow academy student, Rummas, but was too drunk to remember. Soon after, he and Rummas began sharing Borusa as a tutor. (PROSE: Spiral Scratch)

He and the Master also enjoyed building "time flow analogues" to disrupt each other's experiments. (TV: The Time Monster) At the Academy, the Doctor would often skip classes to practice yo-yos and juggling. (PROSE: Match of the Day)

The Doctor was taught at the Academy that "the universe is nothing but a functional chain of causality at every level, governed by the oldest and simplest laws" by a tutor the Eighth Doctor would later describe as "the most attractive person [he'd] ever seen". (PROSE: Longest Day) He also rode Vortisaurs bareback at the Academy. (AUDIO: Storm Warning)

At the Academy, the Doctor conducted an experiment in which he created a bacteria known as the Ablative, with the ensuing scandal nearly getting him expelled until it was covered up by the Academy, who believed that all of the samples had been destroyed. (AUDIO: Planet of the Rani)

In his fiftieth year at the Academy, the Doctor made an enemy of his fellow student, Valyes, after he fed a snapping wart fowl to Valyes' summer project. (AUDIO: The Next Life)

The Doctor didn't attend his time-travel proficiency lesson, which made him unqualified to operate a TARDIS, and rejected an offer to retake the lesson. (PROSE: Festival of Death) The Doctor also failed practical theology, but was highly commended for landscape gardening, (PROSE: All-Consuming Fire) and received a poor grade in Time Lord philosophy. (PROSE: Infinite Requiem) He received training in emotional detachment, (TV: The Invasion of Time) and was on the tech course with Drax. (TV: The Armageddon Factor)

The Doctor and the Master were bullied as children by Torvic and the Doctor was forced to kill Torvic to save his friend's life. He was later confronted by Death, who insisted he become her disciple. The Doctor refused and asked for Death to take away his guilt, causing her to transfer the memory of committing the crime to the Master instead. (AUDIO: Master)

The Doctor was also bullied by Anzor, who used a torture device called "the galvaniser" on his classmates to ensure that they did as he said. He particularly bullied the Doctor, forcing him to do his navigational homework as he was "too stupid to do it himself". He used the galvaniser on the Doctor at least once, as he later threatened to "revive your memory of my galvaniser" to terrify the Sixth Doctor. (AUDIO: Mission to Magnus)

On one occasion, he and the Master travelled into Gallifrey's history in search of Valdemar, a dark mass of life created by the Old Ones in the higher dimensions, which swept across creation and wiped out the Old Ones. They met a surviving Old One, who warned them of Valdermar's powers. The Doctor was shaken and was horrified that the Master seemed fascinated by its power. (PROSE: Tomb of Valdemar)

The Doctor learned of the Celestial Toymaker when he was a youth at the Prydonian Academy. The Time Lords' data banks described him only as a vague legend. The Doctor and his friends Rallon and Millennia who, like the Doctor belonged to the Deca, investigated the legend, travelling to the Toyroom in a stolen TARDIS. The Toymaker was in a dormant, disembodied state, but on their arrival he possessed Rallon and made Millennia one of his living toys. The Doctor defeated him, and the Toymaker allowed him to leave, knowing that he would become an even more worthy opponent given time to mature. (PROSE: Divided Loyalties)

When the Time Lords created the Consolidator to conceal various dangerous historical secrets from the rest of the universe, unwilling to destroy the items or races in the ship in case they proved useful later, the Doctor and the Master were assigned to come up with a solution where their peers failed. The Master had the idea of using a black hole to tear a rift in time and send the Consolidator into the distant future, where the future Time Lords could deal with it, but the Doctor declined to have his name put down on the calculations as he questioned the ethics of the assignment. However, when the experiment was actually attempted, the Consolidator was apparently destroyed by a mistake in the calculations when it struck the edge of the black hole, leaving the Time Lords to hush the matter up. (PROSE: Harvest of Time)

The Doctor was also known to have attended the Prydonian Academy with the Master (PROSE: First Frontier) and the Rani. Thermodynamics was his special subject. (TV: Time and the Rani)

As his fourth incarnation recalled, the Doctor was a "spotty teenager" for fifty years. (COMIC: Doctor Who and the Time Witch)

The Doctor earned a Higher-Dimensional Physics degree at "Time Lord University". He was required to learn how to envision a superimposed array of 208 different 43-dimensional supersolids, taking eight years to master the skill. (COMIC: The Friendly Place)

Ultimately, the Doctor did not have an impressive career at school, passing his qualifying exams to become a Time Lord with only 51% — the lowest possible pass mark — on his second attempt. (TV: The Ribos Operation) However, this was a deliberate ploy to not to draw undue attention to himself, so he could eventually leave Gallifrey. (PROSE: Tears of the Oracle)

Family life
The Doctor was married to an unidentified individual, with Clara Oswald counting a fourth marriage alongside his successors' wives when trying to convince the Cybermen that she was the Doctor. (TV: Death in Heaven) His tenth incarnation recalled being "terrible" at his own wedding. (TV: Blink)

According to several accounts, the Doctor was a father at one point in his life, (TV: Fear Her, The Doctor's Daughter, Listen) of both "sons and daughters". (PROSE: The Eleventh Tiger) The Doctor also had three known grandchildren: Susan, (TV: An Unearthly Child) John and Gillian. (COMIC: The Klepton Parasites) Clara Oswald also referred to the Doctor's "children and grandchildren", who were "missing" by the time of the Doctor's twelfth incarnation. (TV: Death in Heaven)

While Susan specifically identified the Doctor as her grandfather, (TV: "An Unearthly Child", "The Escape") and the Doctor likewise considered Susan to be his grandchild, (TV: "The Rescue", Marco Polo, The Sensorites, "Flashpoint") other conflicting accounts explained that Susan was not the Doctor's biological granddaughter, with one stating Susan was a young Time Lady from the Doctor's own time whom had stowed away on the Doctor's TARDIS, (PROSE: Birth of a Renegade) and another explaining she was from the time period of the Other, who was her biological grandfather. (PROSE: Lungbarrow) Documents on Gallifrey were deliberately obscure about Susan's real family, some theorising that she was a direct descendant of a founding father of Gallifrey, with her only concrete relation being with her father, the President of the Time Lords. (PROSE: A Brief History of Time Lords)

After his friend, the Master, had a daughter of his own, the Doctor gave him a cameo brooch made of Dark star alloy. (TV: The Witch's Familiar) The Doctor also brought Susan to watch him and a group of Prydonians performed a ritual in Arcadia. (AUDIO: The Toy)

Career
The Doctor worked as a Scrutationary Archivist in the Bureau of Possible Events, (PROSE: Lungbarrow) and was considered a "superior" on Gallifrey by some, (COMIC: Flashback) but also made powerful enemies due to his controversial views on the Time Lords' non-interference policy, even being accused of being a meddler. (AUDIO: The Beginning) He possessed a Type 50 TARDIS, which he abandoned when he left and became a renegade. (AUDIO: Prisoners of Fate)

The Doctor learned of the existence of the miniscopes and was outraged by their cruelty to the specimens within. He campaigned to have them banned and, despite the non-interference policy of the Time Lords, was successful. (TV: Carnival of Monsters) His role in banning the use of miniscopes was known throughout nine galaxies. (PROSE: The Empire of Glass) He also successfully campaigned on Gallifrey to ban a chemical of Time Lord invention which converted vertebrae blood into acid, the formula for which he was never able to forget. (PROSE: The Age of Ambition)

On one instance, he saved a glowing life form from being killed by his old friend Magnus, resulting in a fallout between the two. (COMIC: Flashback) The Doctor later rescued Patience, the wife of Omega, co-founder of the Time Lord society, along with her granddaughter from danger in Gallifrey's past. (PROSE: Cold Fusion)

Leaving Gallifrey
According to Ashildr, when he was "barely more than a child", the Doctor learned of a prophesied warrior called "the Hybrid" from the Cloister Wraiths and the story made him "so scared" (TV: Hell Bent) that he eventually left Gallifrey out of fear, (TV: Heaven Sent) bringing Susan with him as an accidental passenger, (TV: An Unearthly Child; AUDIO: Here There Be Monsters) and also taking the Hand of Omega, (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks) some validium, and Gallifrey's moon. (PROSE: A Brief History of Time Lords)

The Doctor told others that he left his home planet because "[he] was bored", (TV: The War Games, The Witch's Familiar) but confessed to the Veil that his boredom had always been a lie. (TV: Heaven Sent) As the Fifth Doctor told Tegan Jovanka, his travels all started when he "deliberately [chose] to go on the run from [his] own people in a rackety old TARDIS", with Flavia hinting that he began running after being offered the Presidency. (TV: The Five Doctors)

According to, the Doctor left Gallifrey on a whim because an unlocked TARDIS was nearby, (AUDIO: The Light at the End) while Clara Oswald told Robin Hood that the Doctor "was moved to steal a TARDIS [and] fly among the stars, fighting the good fight" because he "[found] the plight of the oppressed and weak too much to bear." (TV: Robot of Sherwood) The Doctor grew a bond with that TARDIS, describing it as "the most beautiful thing [he] ever saw" upon first entering it. (TV: The Doctor's Wife) According to Clara, the Doctor's "Prydonian privileges were revoked when [he] stole a time capsule and ran away". (TV: Death in Heaven)

In an account presented by, the Doctor existed during a period of civil unrest on Gallifrey, when many students of the Time Lord Academy, led by the Master, revolted against the corrupt Lord President Pundat the Third, and attempted to convince the Doctor to take the position as President, but he decided not to interfere with the current constitution. When Pundat died of stress soon after the revolt, his chosen successor was Chancellor Slann. The students had found the last of Lord Rassilon's descendants, Lady Larn, a seven-year old child adopted by Councillor Brolin, and decided on a second coup. However, their attempt to convince the Doctor to participate in another coup was overheard and reported to Slann, and the students were "brutally put down" by the Citadel guards, though the Doctor was too highly respected to be terminated, so it was decided to wipe his memory. Bloody reprisals against the students followed, and the Doctor decided to leave Gallifrey in a TARDIS. As it happened, Lady Larn was hiding in the same TARDIS that the Doctor stole, and affectionately called him "grandfather". (PROSE: Birth of a Renegade)

A second account had the Doctor and Susan already on Gallifrey, fleeing to keep the Hand of Omega safe from those who would misuse it, and running straight towards the TARDIS with no hesitation. (COMIC: Time & Time Again)

Another account depicted the Doctor living as a lowly Scrutationary Archivist of the Bureau of Possible Events, and disowned by his family in the House of Lungbarrow. In order to replace the disowned Doctor, his family loomed another cousin, Owis. After an encounter with a gloating Glospin, he revealed that there was genetic evidence to suggest that the Doctor didn't originally come from the Lungbarrow Loom, and intended to use it to get the Doctor executed for Loom-jumping. During a fight between the two, the Hand of Omega arrived to attack Glospin, giving the Doctor the opportunity to escape in a Type 40 TARDIS with the Hand of Omega. The Hand piloted the TARDIS to the Dark Time on Gallifrey to collect Susan, who was the granddaughter of the Other. Susan believed the Doctor was a reincarnation of the Other, and began travelling the universe with him. (PROSE: Lungbarrow)

Another account suggests the Doctor broke the Time Lords' law on non-interference and faced being erased from history by his brother Braxiatel. Braxiatel allowed the Doctor to run, giving him the chance to steal a Type 40 TARDIS and escape Gallifrey. (AUDIO: Disassembled)

One account showed the Doctor, already with Susan and already wearing Victorian era clothing, ready to steal a faulty TARDIS in a repair shop on Gallifrey. (TV: The Name of the Doctor) The Doctor had brought the flying trunk containing the Hand of Omega with him and Susan had brought basic luggage from her house. Armed guards chased the fugitive Doctor and Susan into the repair shop, where the only place for them to hide was a line of TARDISes. Susan walked into one TARDIS, but the Doctor didn't follow her inside, (AUDIO: The Beginning) as he was being advised by a version of Clara Oswald to steal the Type 40 with the faulty navigation system instead of the one Susan had walked inside, as it would be much more fun. (TV: The Name of the Doctor) The Doctor speculated that the TARDIS was deregistered, and that was how it slipped through Gallifrey's transduction barrier and how they evaded the Time Lords. (AUDIO: The Beginning)

Now cut off from his home planet "without friends or protection", the exiled Doctor intended for him and Susan to someday return, (TV: An Unearthly Child) but he knew that he could not. (TV: The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve)

First flight
According to one account, the first flight of the TARDIS involved the Doctor pulling a lever which turned the TARDIS into a time-travelling machine. During early flights, he would have test instruments connected to the ship to calibrate the controls. (COMIC: Timeslip)

According to another account, immediately after leaving Gallifrey, the Doctor rested in the TARDIS console room, while Susan explored their new home. She found a full-length mirror, and saw a pale-skinned fanged figure who vanished after telling her that she was not the one. The Doctor theorised that, since they were now travelling through time, she encountered a brief echo of either the future or the past. (PROSE: The Exiles)

According to a third account, Susan collapsed in the TARDIS shortly after the engines were stabilised. The Doctor tended to Susan as she slept, and used his jacket as a makeshift pillow for her before she reawakened. Susan then explored the TARDIS as the Doctor tended to the ship's controls. She tripped over a rigger's work case and brought it back to the Doctor when the TARDIS had run out of power. Inside the work case, the Doctor found an artron cell and attached it to the drive system to power an emergency landing. After finding a nearby world, the TARDIS appeared to take over and brought them to the Moon. (AUDIO: The Beginning)

First destination
According to one account, the Time Lord met humans for the first time on the planet Iwa when he and his granddaughter were separated. In his search for his granddaughter, the Time Lord found a human medical colony. The principal work of the facility, called "the Refuge", was to rehabilitate patients identified as "Future Deviants". By undergoing dream therapy, it was hoped that such individuals would not become criminals. The Time Lord soon learned the residents were besieged by fox-like aliens who could disintegrate and reconstitute their bodies.

Taking him inside their compound, the humans stripped him of his clothes and burned them, citing possible contamination by the "foxes". They gave him new clothes drawn from their own supply. This meant that he was now wearing the garb of a doctor. When they assumed that he was sent by Earth to help them, he agreed. Not wishing to give them his real name, he referenced his new clothes to derive a title: "the Doctor". The Time Lord assumed this alias, because he described it as an honourable profession amongst his own people.

He agreed to help them with their "fox problem" if they would help him find his granddaughter. They discovered she had become trapped in the colonists' "dream chambers", medical devices that put patients into deep sleep and linked them in one communal dream. Inside the dream chamber, the Doctor's granddaughter met a human colonist named Jill, who promptly gave the young girl the name "Susan", after Jill's own mother.

Eventually the newly named Doctor and Susan were reunited. They helped the colonists broker an uneasy peace with the foxes. They left the colony, deciding to retain the names they had gained there. The Doctor was deeply impressed by humans during this initial encounter. He told Susan they should find a way to settle amongst them for a while, so that he could study them and they could maintain a low profile on the run from the Time Lords. (PROSE: Frayed)

In a different account, the Doctor and Susan's first destination was a vivarium beneath the surface of the Moon. Before walking outside, they were confronted by Quadrigger Stoyn, who had become an unwitting passenger and had part of his face burned when the TARDIS took off. Stoyn's job was to take apart the TARDIS' engines before it was sent to be vaporised, but the TARDIS had run out of power, stranding them. The Doctor took the dematerialisation circuit so Stoyn wouldn't leave them behind and they explored the strange location. The Doctor, Susan and Stoyn were taken out of the tank and realised they were in a massive cavern filled with vivariums carefully-preserved specimens. The Archaeons had been seeding primitive planets such as the Earth with life by firing red lightning from the Moon, creating an established order out of the chaos and nurturing the early life forms under controlled conditions.

While checking to see if the TARDIS was a threat, the Archaeons began taking it apart. They took the TARDIS' temporal stasis capacitor while it was still attached to the power source. This caused the stasis field to breach, freezing the Doctor, Susan, Stoyn and the Archaeons in time, allowing the TARDIS to recharge itself. 450 million years later, humans had evolved on the Earth until they established a lunar colony, Giant Leap Base. A group of humans from Giant Leap Base broke the stasis field, taking the Doctor and Susan on board their lunar rover, where they came to.

According to this account, the Doctor and Susan learnt about the Earth's history through a "first contact induction video" Susan had been provided while on board the rover. With the dematerialisation circuit still in the Doctor's possession, the Archaeons had sent nematodes, which didn't affect the Time Lords, to kill all of the humans on the rover. When the Archaeons, found the life they had "seeded" had become disorderly and "run rampant", no longer matching their carefully-planned vision, they "purged" the humans on the lunar base and on the Earth with lightning. The Doctor, who was blamed for the disruption of the Archaeons' experiments, was brought back to the cavern. Meanwhile, the humans retaliated against the Archaeons with missiles. After the Doctor went inside the TARDIS, evading the distracted Archaeons, Stoyn tried taking Susan with him, but she refused and ran inside the TARDIS.

With the dematerialisation circuit in place, the Doctor and Susan left without Stoyn, as the Doctor felt that he was just as willing to abandon them. Another barrage of missiles breached the atmosphere of the Archaeons' cavern, destroying their weaponry; the Archaeons were pulled outside, though Susan saw Stoyn struggle to reach the rover. Afterwards, the Doctor continuously watched the video about the Earth's history and evolution inside the TARDIS, marvelling at the planet's abundance. He promised it would be his next destination. Instead, his next stop was a place with a blue sun and air like wine. It took several trips before he reached the Earth again. (AUDIO: The Beginning)

Wanderers in the fourth dimension
The First Doctor was once at the front of a queue. He accidentally dropped his present, and a silver knife fell out. He grumbled a bit and left, accompanied by his granddaughter. (PROSE: Categorical Imperative)

Some time after their first meeting with humans, the Doctor and Susan began to study Earth and humans more closely, with the French Revolution in France being their first visit to Earth. (PROSE: Just War) The Doctor and Susan then went to ancient Rome, Mexico, Antioch, Jerusalem, and visited planets such as Mondas, (PROSE: Byzantium!) Dido, (TV: The Rescue) and Akhaten. (TV: The Rings of Akhaten)

On further adventures, they sailed around the Caribbean on board a pirate galleon, (PROSE: Byzantium!) met Noel Coward, (AUDIO: The Sleeping City) witnessed the assassination of President McKinley, travelled to Cassuragi, (PROSE: Byzantium!) and attended the funeral of Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. (PROSE: The Gift)

Sometime after his visit to the French Revolution, the Doctor met Iris Wildthyme, another renegade time traveller. (PROSE: The Scarlet Empress) Stealing her diary, he and Susan were "inspired". (PROSE: First Meetings)

The Doctor and Susan faced the Five O'Clock Shadow within the TARDIS. (PROSE: The Five O'Clock Shadow)

After being given an Ulster coat by Gilbert and Sullivan, (TV: "The Brink of Disaster") the Entity took the Doctor and tested him to open a door, but the Doctor outsmarted it. (AUDIO: Seven to One)

The Doctor accepted an invitation to be a guest speaker at a Time Conference on Refkeet Nine and raged against the local authorities when he discovered he had been lured into a trap so that they could use an abused Nuppino horse to attack him. The whole event was being observed from afar by the Eleventh Doctor and Clara Oswald. (COMIC: Time Trick)

The Doctor and Susan next visited Jabalhabad, India, in 1843, whilst they were touring India by elephant. They met Siger Holmes, father of Sherlock Holmes. (PROSE: All-Consuming Fire) Needing to retrieve the TARDIS from the Tower of London, the Doctor argued with Henry VIII and was sent to the Tower, where he could escape in the TARDIS. (TV: "Strangers in Space") Visiting India again during the Indian Mutiny, the Doctor became David Warblington's guardian after having his life saved by David's father. (PROSE: The Duke's Folly)

Visiting Earth again in 1979, the dematerialisation circuit was fried while the TARDIS was orbiting Earth. The TARDIS was taken on board a Slarvian transport, and the Doctor and Susan learned that the snail-like species planned to conquer Earth by hatching their eggs all over the planet. Their plan failed because the Slarvian ship crashed into the English Channel, making the threat localised to England. With the help of the humans Linda Grainger and her grandfather, Edward Grainger, the Doctor and Susan stopped the Slarvian eggs from hatching. (PROSE: Childhood Living)

Arriving at central Europe in the 16th century, Susan noticed what looked like a meteorite and tossed it out, thinking it unimportant, but soon came to realise that it was in fact a part of a Liciax ship. When she tried to find what she had carelessly discarded, it was gone. With the help of a man named Lovey, they traced it to Prague, where they found it had been shaped into a golem, that had developed sentience and was also on a murderous rampage. The Doctor and Susan trapped it in the attic of a Jewish synagogue, placing it under a security system, to which only they knew the access codes. (PROSE: Life from Lifelessness)

After landing in Germany in the sixteenth century, the Doctor and Susan teamed up with magistrate Rudolf von Slesinger and an inquisitor, Johann Eck, to protect Martin Luther from two assassins ahead of his trial. Instantly suspicious of Slesinger's odd behaviour, the Doctor sent Susan undercover as a servant girl and discovered that Slesinger had deployed the assassins in a plot to kill Luther in secret. Before he could kill anyone, Slesinger was apprehended by Eck. Afterwards, the Doctor and Susan decided to remain in Germany for the trial of Martin Luther. (PROSE: The Price of Conviction)

The Doctor encountered Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart at Christmas when he and his wife, Doris, saved Susan from drowning. The Doctor told Doris that he knew how his future friend would die, and that he and his succeeding incarnation had already attended his funeral. (PROSE: The Gift)

The Doctor began pursuing the Soul Pirates after they stole his hand in a sword fight. Whilst following them, he and Susan arrived in 1900 London, where Susan and a group of children were kidnapped by the Soul Pirates to harvest their body parts for profit. However, the Doctor foiled their plan, rescued Susan and the children, and received a brand new hand, indistinguishable from the original, from Xing surgeon Aldridge. (PROSE: A Big Hand for the Doctor)

Vacationing at a bed and breakfast called "Bide-a-Wee" in the British coastal town of Keelmouth in 1933, the Doctor discovered that another guest was a time traveller, named Prentice. He had used his technology to displace Keelmouth in time; the village was in 1933, but the surrounding world was in 1999. The Doctor and Susan had to convince Prentice to reverse the effect, because his retirement fantasy wasn't fair to the people he had trapped alongside him. (PROSE: Bide-a-Wee)

Not long after, the Doctor and Susan accidentally landed at the BBC's Paris studios in 1955, because transmissions there had disabled their dematerialisation circuit. They met a radio comedian named Max Wheeler, whose recordings were plagued by a distinctive background "hum" caused by ghostly aliens known as the Shakers, aliens recruited into the French resistance in World War II, unaware that the war had ended and unable to clearly understand who their enemies were. Though he and Susan tried to explain the current reality to them, the Shakers continued to kill indiscriminately, with the only course of action was for the Doctor to alter the harmonics of canned laughter and kill them with it at a last resort. (PROSE: Losing the Audience)

The Doctor and Susan travelled to Bridgetown on the planet Quinnis in the fourth universe. They nearly lost the TARDIS when it was washed away during a severe flood. They recovered it with the assistance of a huntsman named Evalihi Parch IV, who possessed an ornithopter. (AUDIO: Quinnis) Whilst on Quinnis, the Doctor was trained to be a ninja. (PROSE: The Devil Goblins from Neptune)

Soon after, the Doctor and Susan unwittingly travelled to Paris in the 22nd century, where they became embroiled in political intrigue in the run-up to an election in the city of Urrozdinee. (PROSE: Urrozdinee)

At this point, the Doctor realised that he and Susan had been losing their memory since they began travelling in the TARDIS due to the telepathic circuits attacking their minds. This prompted their search for somewhere to take residence and recover from the memory loss. (PROSE: Echoes of Future Past) Their loss of memory would stay for sometime after settling in London. (PROSE: Time and Relative)

On one excursion he scratched his hand on a plant and became ill. Susan had to find a way to cure him. (AUDIO: The Sleeping Blood)

Hiding on Earth
Making a short trip to the planet Tacunda, the Doctor and Susan uncovered a "Blessing Star", a crystal that altered the laws of probability around the holder, essentially making their dreams come true. The Doctor tried the device, wishing that he could pilot the TARDIS to 20th century Earth. He was successful at piloting the ship, unfortunately, it completely fried the navigational system, stranding the Doctor and Susan in I.M. Foreman's junk yard in Totter's Lane, London in 1963. (PROSE: The Rag & Bone Man's Story)

In late March 1963, the Doctor and Susan took up residence in a Totters Lane junkyard in Shoreditch, London to allow Susan to complete her education, and so the Doctor could effect repairs and build missing components for the TARDIS. (PROSE: Time and Relative) While based in London, the Doctor hid the Hand of Omega, a powerful Time Lord artefact that he had taken from Gallifrey, at an undertakers. (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks)

Although he was known to be unsociable and unlikely to travel outward, this did not stop his search for knowledge. He at least once visited a library, (TV: The Vampires of Venice) and was familiar with the owner of the local café. (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks) The Doctor first encountered River Song when he caught her sneaking around the junkyard where his TARDIS was located, but he was unaware of her identity. River fled when she heard Susan calling her grandfather. (GAME: The Eternity Clock)

In April 1963, while Susan was attending Coal Hill School, London was consumed by winter weather in the middle of spring, as a result of an extra-dimensional called the Cold awakening. After being coerced by Susan, the Doctor reluctantly decided to interfere in events, and defeated the Cold by depositing it on Pluto in the far future, before it destroyed all humanity on Earth. (PROSE: Time and Relative)

Trying to return to Susan after leaving the Cold on Pluto, (PROSE: Time and Relative) the Doctor arrived on Wengrol in the Crab Nebula, the furthest the TARDIS had ever travelled at that point. He was captured by Yend scientists looking for a way to stabilise their constant shapeshifting. Fomal, the Chief Yend, asked him to take a case of unmutated Yend embryos to a new system, but when the Doctor took the case into the TARDIS, he discovered that the embryos were all dead. (PROSE: The Sons of the Crab)

Landing on Vortis, the Doctor was captured by the Menoptera, who believed that he was a member of the race attacking them. He escaped, only to encounter a group of Atlanteans whose spacecraft had crashed on Vortis a year earlier. The Atlanteans mistook the Doctor for a Human scientist and asked for his help in repairing their ship. The Doctor, claiming that the necessary parts were in his ship, returned to the TARDIS, where he watched as the Atlanteans were caught in a battle between the Menoptera and the Zarbi and killed. (PROSE: The Lost Ones)

The Doctor landed on Earth in 1966. While leaving the TARDIS unattended, two children, Tony and Amy Barker, and their dog, Butch, entered the ship and accidentally locked themselves inside. When the Doctor returned, he dematerialised the TARDIS and arrived on the Sense Sphere, where he was forced to kill a Zilgan to save his life. The Sensorites captured him and planned to execute him for his crime, but he was rescued by Tony and Amy. The three made their way back to the TARDIS and the Doctor returned the children to their own time. (PROSE: The Monsters from Earth)

After killing a werewolf with a silver bullet in 1960s London, the Doctor was placed on trial for murder. He was acquitted by the jury which was made up partly of his second, third, fifth and eighth incarnations. (PROSE: The Juror's Story)

After the Doctor and Susan got lost at night in the dense fog, they met a girl named Joan Calder and sheltered at her home, where they met her mother and grandfather. During the visit, the house burst into flames and, on the Doctor's instruction, Susan broke a mirror in the house. The elder Calder crumbled into ash and the fire abated. Although the Doctor never was able to adequately explain the event, it was related to the fact that the house had in fact been levelled during the London Blitz two decades earlier. The Doctor postulated that Susan's action likely saved the lives of Joan and her mother. (PROSE: Ash)

After witnessing a man explode into a protoplasmic mass at a beat poetry reading, the Doctor and Susan traced the unusual death to a British government project, Operation Proteus. They discovered the project was being run by an alien named Raldonn, who was mutating humans to turn one into his own species so that he would have a co-pilot to help him fly his ship back home. Unfortunately, his efforts relied on a lethal virus that threatened all London. After reversing the effects of the virus, the Doctor and Susan returned to the TARDIS in Totter's Lane. (COMIC: Operation Proteus)

In October 1963, the Doctor started stealing parts to repair the TARDIS. During this period, students of the Coal Hill School and other young people started being taken over by a meteor that crashed in the area. The Doctor and Susan managed to stop this using a transmitter that interfered with the sound waves that caused the meteor to control them. (AUDIO: Hunters of Earth)

The Doctor began investigating an alien insect and planned to take it home. His quick retreat from the 1960s prevented him from doing so. He wouldn't deal with the insect until he was in his fourth incarnation. (PROSE: Those Left Behind)

Meeting Ian and Barbara
Out for a walk, the Doctor's seventh incarnation appeared in his past self's life on a mission from the White Guardian to steal the TARDIS Instruction Manual. Unbeknownst to the First Doctor, the Seventh Doctor saved him from an Imperial Dalek and made off with the instruction manual in the confusion. (COMIC: Time & Time Again)

Returning to the junkyard to find that two of Susan's teachers, Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright, had followed her home, the Doctor tried to encourage them to leave, but they confronted him and forced themselves into the TARDIS. Against Susan's wishes, he launched the TARDIS, kidnapping them so they couldn't tell anyone about them. They travelled to prehistoric times. Kidnapped by a tribesman named Kal, the Doctor was brought to the Tribe of Gum. Susan, Ian and Barbara followed to save him, but Za caught them and placed them all in the Cave of Skulls.

The group was freed by Old Mother, to which the Doctor thanked her, but he grew miserable whilst trekking through the Forest of Fear. When a pursuing Za was wounded by a tiger, the Doctor initially refused to help him. He picked up a rock and was prepared to kill Za, until Ian stopped him, (TV: An Unearthly Child) and a meeting with his eighth incarnation in a time bubble convinced him not to. (PROSE: The Eight Doctors) Recaptured and placed back in the cave, the Doctor tricked Kal into revealing he had killed the Old Mother. The Doctor helped Ian with an escape plan, and the travellers made it back to the TARDIS. (TV: An Unearthly Child)

When the TARDIS landed on Skaro, the Doctor claimed that the fluid link needed more mercury, despite there being nothing wrong, so that he could explore a nearby city. In the city, the Doctor and his friends were captured by the Daleks, confiscating the fluid link they brought along.

Having escaped, they assisted the Dalek's enemy, the Thals, in their attack on the Dalek city. The Daleks' power supply was damaged in the attack. The Daleks died and their plans to flood the atmosphere with radiation failed. (TV: The Daleks) However, the Doctor had seen the evil of the Daleks, and made it his mission in life to combat threats similar to them. (TV: Into the Dalek)

With the fluid link retrieved, the Doctor left Skaro for Earth, using the fast return switch. The spring in the switch was damaged, causing it to be stuck. The TARDIS was sent to the beginning of a solar system and everyone was knocked out in the trip. The TARDIS tried warning the crew about the atoms forming around them when they came to, but the Doctor assumed that this was Ian and Barbara sabotaging the ship. Once Barbara figured out what was going on, the Doctor fixed the spring and apologised to his human companions, ending the fault. (TV: The Edge of Destruction) After this incident, the Doctor's relationship with Barbara and Ian became more warm, and he began to learn about and respect their humanity. (COMIC: Hunters of the Burning Stone)

Further adventures
Still heavily damaged and malfunctioning, the TARDIS found its way to Earth, but did not make it to Ian and Barbara's time, instead landing in the Plain of Pamir in 1289. There, the Doctor and his companions met Marco Polo. Polo took the TARDIS and its keys on his caravan to the breadth of Cathay to hand to Kublai Khan as part of a bargain for his return to Venice. Along the way, the Mongol warlord, Tegana, also part of Polo's caravan, tried to take the TARDIS for Nogai as part of his plan to assassinate Kublai. In the chaos of Tegana and Polo's duel in Peking, the Doctor and his companions escaped in the repaired TARDIS. (TV: Marco Polo)

Finding themselves in what appeared to be an English forest, the TARDIS crew soon learned that the situation was more complex than it appeared when they discovered a medieval camp, a crashed spaceship, and were attacked by a dragon before being rescued by a knight. Taken to a nearby castle, they learned of a current conflict against the sorcerer Marton Dhal, who sought further power by acquiring Merlin's old artefacts, the Doctor naturally puzzled at the existence of what appeared to be magic. Participating in a quest to gain Merlin's Helm, the Doctor and Ian learned that the 'magic' was the result of a complex nanobot network that allowed those skilled in its use to manipulate the world around them. With tutoring from the leprechaun Kilvenny Odoyle, the Doctor was able to learn how to use the world's magic himself, joining Odoyle and witch Anni Glassfeather in a final duel against Gramling, Dahl's former master, who had manipulated Dahl in the name of his own dreams of power. With Dahl defeated, the Doctor was able to arrange for the nanobot network to be disabled, leaving the people to learn how to cope without magic. (PROSE: The Sorcerer's Apprentice)

Arriving inside the tomb of Menkaure in Egypt in 26th century BC, the Doctor, Susan, Ian and Barbara were arrested and taken to the palace. Itennu planned to assassinate Pharaoh Menkaure with a poison dart and then blame the strangers. However, the Doctor inadvertently foiled the attempt with his walking stick and, when a more open attack began, the travellers fled back to the TARDIS, once again barely escaping with their lives. (COMIC: The Forgotten)

The Doctor arrived in Greenland in 1002 due to a leak in the TARDIS' plutonium battery. He enlisted the aid of Eric the Red and his Viking crew to take him and his companions to Newfoundland to get the materials he needed for his ship. They were nearly left behind in Nova Scotia, but the Doctor convinced the Vikings to take them back. (PROSE: Who Discovered America?)

The TARDIS landed on an island on Marinus, where Arbitan asked the Doctor and his friends to search for the keys to the reprogrammed Conscience of Marinus to regain control over the Voord, as all of his other followers and family members failed to retrieve them. When the Doctor refused his aid, Arbitan trapped the TARDIS in a forcefield, preventing the Doctor and his companions' escape. They used Arbitan's travel dials to reach Morphoton. Barbara released Arbitan's daughter, Sabetha, and the rest of the city from the Morpho's mind control, and retrieved the first key.

The Doctor jumped ahead to Millennius, the location of the final key, to find Eprin. Once Ian had found two more keys, he was knocked out and framed for Eprin's murder. The Doctor stood as defence at Ian's trial, but Ian was sentenced to death. The Doctor learnt that one of the conspirators in the murder, the prosecutor, Eyesen, was ready to collect one of the keys and Ian was spared execution. The guards captured Eyesen and the last key was found in the mace that killed Eprin.

The Doctor and his companions returned to Arbitan's island, where Arbitan had been murdered. Ian handed the Voord leader Yartek a fake key, which destroyed the Conscience, along with the Voord. They were able to leave in the TARDIS once more. (TV: The Keys of Marinus)

The Doctor and his companions arrived in an Aztec temple in Mexico. They went through a one-way passage that prevented access to the TARDIS. Barbara posed as the Aztec god, Yetaxa, with the others as her servants, to find a way back. Barbara tried and failed to change the Aztecs' history of human sacrifice for the better, which the Doctor strongly advised her against. Susan was to be punished for denying marriage to the Perfect Victim of the Aztecs' sacrifice and Ian to be executed when he was framed by the High Priest of Sacrifice, Tlotoxl, for attacking the High Priest of Knowledge, Autloc. Autloc's faith in Yetaxa was shattered, and he left for the wilderness. The Doctor and Ian distracted Ian and Susan's guard to escape. They worked on a pulley system to open the doorway back to the TARDIS. As they departed, the sacrifice of the Perfect Victim continued as planned. (TV: The Aztecs)

The Doctor and his friends next arrived inside a spaceship in the 28th century, where two crewmembers were suspended in a state resembling death and another, John, had had his mind opened and turned insane, following an attack on their minds by the Sensorites. The Sense Sphere, which the ship had been trapped around, had its aqueducts' water supply poisoned with atropine by survivors of a previous human expedition whose ship had been destroyed.

The TARDIS' lock was taken by the Sensorites, leaving the Doctor and his companions trapped on the spaceship. After the Doctor and his companions resisted the Sensorites, the Doctor, Ian and Susan agreed to go down to the Sense Sphere, where the Doctor worked out the cure for this "disease", which had also afflicted Ian, while the Sensorite scientists treated John.

The Doctor and Ian, followed by Barbara, went to the aqueducts where Atropa belladonna had been growing. They found the human expedition and pretended to be a welcoming party for them and that the "war" against the Sensorites was won. The expedition were taken into custody on Maitland's ship. Maitland's ship was free to leave and the TARDIS crew had regained their lock. (TV: The Sensorites)

Greatly agitated by Ian and Barbara's remarks, the Doctor landed the TARDIS on board the Endeavour sailing ship in 1770. There, he and Ian met Captain James Cook, but, before Susan and Barbara could exit the ship, it was tossed overboard in a violent storm. Greatly saddened by the loss of the girls, the Doctor and Ian continued on the Endeavour's voyage for several months towards Australia observing the transit of Venus along the way. Their time on the Endeavour ended when they discovered Susan had managed to swim out and attach a line to the sailing ship from the TARDIS and so be pulled along behind it. The travellers' joy at being reunited was short lived when the Doctor became disgruntled again because the TARDIS floor was now covered in patches of water. (AUDIO: The Transit of Venus)

The TARDIS then landed in France in the middle of their revolution. They were immediately caught in the depth of the war, and Ian, Barbara and Susan were all sentenced to death. The Doctor helped find an English spy named James Stirling who could help them to escape. Escaping their jail cells, they made their way through the French and back to the TARDIS, where they made a narrow escape. (TV: The Reign of Terror)

After escaping from France, the Doctor wanted to relax, but found himself on a planet with a fast time rate, and discovered that the entire civilisation of the planet had been based around him, Ian, Barbara and Susan. He and his companions then watched the rise and fall of the civilisation in a matter of minutes. (AUDIO: Rise and Fall)

During a visit to Chicago in 2006, the Doctor lost the TARDIS in a bet with a businessman named Buchanan, who intended to auction off the time machine. Hiring a 60s oldsmobile, the Doctor and his friends travelled to Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Missouri, and the Doctor finally won the TARDIS back in Santa Monica. (PROSE: The Mother Road)

The Doctor next travelled to London during World War II and discovered the Bansharai, alien shape shifters who survived on emotions, had been posing as dead people to make the wishes of their loved ones come true. (PROSE: Tell Me You Love Me)

The Doctor stopped a suicidal crew leader, Provost Rowd, from wiping out the last remnants of the dying Metraxis, and he later assisted a new leader, Egrabil, to find a new home for the Metraxi. (AUDIO: A Star is Born)

Soon after, the Doctor rescued Joseph Rennigan, the sole survivor of an American space mission that crashed on Mars, (PROSE: Rennigan's Record) and visited a dying world, where Barbara was infected by an alien parasite which distorted her memories. However, the Doctor was able to free her of the infection. (PROSE: Nothing at the End of the Lane)

When the TARDIS was attacked by a bomb bought by, which caused the TARDIS to destroy itself second-by-second, the Doctor, with the help of the Second and Third Doctors, was able to summon his other five successors to stop the bomb from ever going off. He then was able to discover that it was his TARDIS' automatic distress actions that had brought all of the Doctors together and had destroyed their TARDISes. He turned the signal off, and thus the events of that day ceased to be. The Doctor and Susan then visited Bob Dovie at 59A Barnsfield Crescent in Totton, Hampshire on 23 November 1963. (AUDIO: The Light at the End)

Arriving in Afghanistan in 1842 during the First Afghan War, the Doctor lost Ian when he was kidnapped by a brutal Gilzia chieftain called Gul Zaheer. Unable to track them down, the Doctor spent a month gathering Afghan allies to help him rescue Ian and another British prisoner, Symonds. But he was too late to stop Zaheer killing Symonds, so an enraged Ian killed Zaheer by throwing him into a pit. (PROSE: Mire and Clay) Shortly after, the Doctor and Ian stopped a Blue plague in 2908 Prague. (PROSE: Room for Improvement)

He found the Library of Alexandria interesting when he visited it and decided to stay their for a while. He inspected the book that Ian found, he discovered that it was a Mim reconance mission write up just before the Mim attacked. He tried to get them to stop killing too many people whilst they destroyed the Library. (AUDIO: The Library of Alexandria)

They landed in Seville where The Doctor asked Barbara to show him around as she had been there on holiday. He pretended to be a cardinal from Rome with Susan in order to try and release Ian from the Spanish inquisition. He was found out and sentence to death before Susan and Barbara saved him. When he heard from Barbara that Ian went to Cadiz to help Esteban Aribi on his mission, the Doctor thought he was trying to change history so attempted to stop him but in fact Ian was part of history and the Doctor's intervention would change history. (AUDIO: The Flames of Cadiz)

They later landed in a flotila of ships on the planet Hydra where they were captured by Amyra Kaan and Pan Vexel for being stowaways. When the ship the TARDIS was on he became concerned on finding it. When he learned that Ian was in danger on a rescue mission when a Voord came close to them, he wanted Ian's team recalled. He ordered Susan and Barbara to evacuate the Fortitude whilst he helped Ian. He went into a coma after he escaped the ship but later escaped from the infirmary soon after. He then spent his time trying to work out how to defeat the Voord. Tarlak wanted to stop him by threatening to convert Susan into a Voord. He then used the machine the Voord were constructing against them to by confusing their foot soldiers and destroying it. (AUDIO: Domain of the Voord)

The Doctor and his friends next helped the human population of a distant planet escape the planet's destruction, (PROSE: City at World's End) and visited the village of Salem during the Witch Trials. (PROSE: The Witch Hunters)

He took his fellow travellers to Russia in 1903 where they spotted a meteor in the sky. He later collapsed from some mysterious illness. (AUDIO: The Wanderer)

The TARDIS then landed on the Earth Benchmarking Vessel Nevermore. Telling Ian and Barbara they were still on probation, the Doctor and his fellow travellers began to explore and found the ship could punch holes through the fabric of space, appalling the Doctor. (AUDIO: Here There Be Monsters)

In a further attempt to return Ian and Barbara home, the TARDIS malfunctioned, and they landed in a place filled with giant bugs and long, winding paths. Ian and Susan found a gigantic match box, while the Doctor and Barbara found a worm. Ian was trapped in the match box, which was taken by a man named Farrow. The Doctor deduced that they were on Earth, but they had been shrunk down to the size of an inch.

Farrow met with Forester to tell him that his insecticide had been rejected, and was killed by Forester. The crew, looking for Ian, heard the gunshot and ran to the scene, where they were menaced by a cat. Entering the house, Barbara began to die when she touched the insecticide. She proceeded to contact someone through a telephone and reached Hilda Rowse and her husband Bert. They managed to grow back to size and Barbara recovered. Forester and his accomplice, Smithers, were handed over to the police. (TV: Planet of Giants)

Leaving Susan behind
In London during the time of the 22nd century Dalek invasion, Susan met David Campbell, a young man fighting against the Dalek occupation. (TV: The Dalek Invasion of Earth) Realising Susan was in love, and "needed to make [her] own way", (COMIC: The Forgotten) the Doctor reluctantly left her behind, promising to return, (TV: The Dalek Invasion of Earth) though he did not until his eighth incarnation. (PROSE: Legacy of the Daleks) He continued to question his decision for centuries to come, (COMIC: The Forgotten) and even slept through a materialisation because of his sorrow. (TV: The Rescue) Ian believed that locking Susan out of the TARDIS was the bravest thing that he ever saw the Doctor do. (AUDIO: The Revenants)

He landed in the Orkney isles in 1956 thinking he could get Barbara and Ian back home. He didn't land fully when Ian and Barbara exited the TARDIS and he travelled further back in time. He waited for Ian and Barbara to catch up with him. He had heard of the Marsh Wains and was intrigued why they were after his friends. (AUDIO: The Revenants)

Shortly after leaving Susan in the 22nd century, the Doctor travelled to Venus to attend the funeral of Dharkhig, an old friend of his. There, the Doctor, Ian and Barbara became embroiled in the Venusians' conflict with their would-be saviours, the Sou(ou)shi. (PROSE: Venusian Lullaby)

The Doctor helped the Watermen from Q20.(COMIC:Dr. Who Meets the Watermen)Approaching the Doctor in the TARDIS, Ian and Barbara were shocked to discover that the Doctor was paralyzed. Using a Telepathic helmet, Ian was able to learn that the Daleks were behind this. He was able to find the source of the situation, a The Nerve Machine being controlled by the Daleks, and the Doctor was freed from their control. (COMIC: Dr. Who and the Nerve Machine)

Intending to give Susan a wedding ring, the Doctor, Ian and Barbara visited the mines of Alexandria. However, Ian was separated from the Doctor and Barbara, and Barbara accidentally created an alternative timeline after being sent nine years into the past. In the alternate world, King Ptolemy and his warriors went to war with the alien Rhakotis, and Barbara soon fell in love with Ptolemy and married him, becoming Queen. After nine years of war, the Doctor used a book from Gallifrey to repair time, erasing the alternative history and costing Barbara her husband. (PROSE: The Book of Shadows)

The Doctor had a second encounter with River Song during his travels with Ian and Barbara. River Song considered the First Doctor to be boring, because he spent his time hanging out with the two teachers. River wiped his memory with mnemosine recall-wipe vapour so the timeline would remain intact. (GAME: The Eternity Clock)

The Doctor almost lost Ian and Barbara as companions when they considered settling down in 1950s Shoreditch, and he spent four months investigating the Stone of Scone in Scotland. Shortly after this, Ian and Barbara decided life in the 1950s would be too difficult and rejoined the Doctor aboard the TARDIS. (PROSE: Set in Stone)

Travelling on with his two companions, the Doctor went on the trail of an energy being known as the Vrij and followed it to 1553 England, where he, Ian and Barbara met Queen of England, Jane Grey. Defeating the Vril, who had possessed the Duke of Northumberland, the Doctor resisted the urge to alter Jane's fate, instead being by her side as she died. (PROSE: The Nine-Day Queen)

More companions
Still struggling to adapt to life without Susan, the Doctor, Ian and Barbara ended up on Dido, where they met two survivors of a crashed spaceship, Vicki Pallister and Bennett, and learnt a being called Koquillion had embarked on a reign of terror, leaving those who survived his wraith greatly fearful of him. However, the Doctor soon discovered Bennett was actually Koquillion after he caused the crash when he was unmasked as a killer to prevent the crew from radioing back to Earth. He killed the crew, many Dido natives, but spared Vicki so she would back up his story when the rescue crew came to collect them. Just as Bennett prepared to kill the Doctor, two Dido natives saved him and forced Bennett to his death. With all of her associates dead, Vicki joined the Doctor in the TARDIS, providing him with a new youngster to care for as had been the case with Susan. (TV: The Rescue)

Immediately following their departure from Dido, the TARDIS landed in 64 AD in the area just beyond the great metropolis Byzantium. Despite the Doctor's resignation at visiting the Roman empire, the group made their way to the city. After a week in Byzantium, the group prepared to go back to the TARDIS, but were instead caught up in a large Jewish revolt in the market-square, separating them. At least two weeks passed before the group was brought together again, but then the TARDIS was missing, and the group joined a travelling caravan moving towards Rome, in hopes of finding the TARDIS along the way. (PROSE: Byzantium!)

Arriving near Rome, the Doctor and Vicki came across a Roman villa, where they found the caretaker, Lucius, wounded after being attacked by a lion. Shortly before his death, Lucius allowed them to stay in the villa in his masters absence, where they manage to kill the lion that attacked Lucius. (PROSE: Romans Cutaway) Having found the TARDIS and spent several weeks relaxing at the villa, the Doctor and Vicki decided to visit Rome.

Together, they encountered humans and Monoids from the far future. (TV: The Ark)

The Doctor, Steven and Dodo met Questor in the living jungle of Tropicalus, whom the Doctor defeated in a battle of wits. (COMIC: Death to the Doctor!)

On Vortis, the Doctor became separated from Steven and Dodo, and saved a platoon of Sontarans from a Rutan infiltrator. (PROSE: The Dream) He then investigated a crashed spaceship during the Boer Wars. He encountered Tommy Watkins who had taken him to Kali Carash (AUDIO: Tales from the Vault)

The Doctor, Steven and Dodo settled down in 1812 Russia for a while, where the Doctor became the tutor for a local gentry's children, though he still wished to leave the country before Napoléon Bonaparte invaded. Before Napoléon arrived, however, the Doctor was attacked by a Shape thief who took his form, but he caused the thief's downfall by convincing him that Napoléon was going to win and tricked him into taking Napoléon's form. (AUDIO: Mother Russia)

When he landed on Kappa 537, Ulysses 519 he encountered the Rocket Men at the time of Steven's 21st birthday before Steven had travelled with the Doctor. He helped the locals on the planet to sort out of the oxygenators to help them colonised the planet. He tried to find a way to distract the Rocket Men to allow Steven to carry out his plans. (AUDIO: Return of the Rocket Men)

On the planet Comfort, they arrived in the middle of a war. He realised that the inhabitants where brainwashed into boldly following orders. The locals took him to their leader when they realised he wasn't local. (AUDIO: The War to End All Wars)

The Doctor, Steven and Dodo arrived on a planet where two very different peoples, the Elders and the Savages, shared a life. The Elders led a very civilised lifestyle, but their intelligence was gained by draining the life energy from the Savages. The Doctor stopped this cruel practice with the aid of a group of Savages by destroying the laboratory and equipment that transferred energy from the Savages, and left Steven behind to keep the peace between the two groups for the future. (TV: The Savages)

The TARDIS landed in what appeared to be Paris just after the French Revolution, but history had been perversely warped. Dodo and the Doctor became separated, with Dodo being taken in by a travelling troupe of actors, and the Doctor being held prisoner in the Bastille. They discovered that the history in which they had landed was an altered history, made by aliens whose curiosity made them rewrite history to the designs of a depressed Marquis de Sade. After correcting history, Dodo and the Doctor left the alternate France behind. (PROSE: The Man in the Velvet Mask)

While accompanying the Doctor to a planet that was in the grip of a crystalline parasite, Dodo wondered, not for the first time, if she was cut out for adventure. (PROSE: There are Fairies at the Bottom of the Garden)

She and the Doctor visited Scrabster Harbour in 1947. (AUDIO: Masters of Earth)

The Doctor and Dodo once travelled aboard the Golden Hind. (AUDIO: Maker of Demons)

Soon after, the Doctor faced the mad computer WOTAN and its War Machines in London on 20 July 1966. After, he was forced to leave an injured Dodo on Earth. (TV: The War Machines)

Alone again
While travelling alone, the Doctor was found by the Time Lords, and placed into a "celestial retirement", during which he was scolded for meddling in history during his visit to Paris in August 1572. (PROSE: The Massacre)

After his retirement ended, the Doctor shared a couple of glasses of Medoc with John Lucarotti at the Auberge du Pont Romain, and suggested that Lucarotti have a vacation to Samarkand. (PROSE: The Meeting)

Nearing the end
After he inadvertently picked up Polly Wright and Ben Jackson as companions when they entered the TARDIS as it took off, (TV: The War Machines) the Doctor and his new friends got caught up with a band of smugglers led by Captain Samuel Pike as he searched for a lost treasure. Although the Doctor was forced to help Pike trace a series of clues to the location of the treasure in a local graveyard, the smugglers were eventually captured by the local revenue men and Pike was killed. After they left in the TARDIS, the Doctor assumed that they had landed "at the coldest place on Earth", (TV: The Smugglers) it was soon revealed that they had actually landed in Lewes in the 1950s, where they became caught up in a series of local riots. (AUDIO: The Bonfires of the Vanities)

The Doctor, Ben and Polly arrived in New York City in the 1890s where four Ovids had become trapped. Their presence caused people's dreams and nightmare to manifest in reality. The time travellers were able to free the Ovids with the assistance of Harry Houdini. (AUDIO: Smoke and Mirrors) They also visited an unhabbited planet, where the Doctor collected some plants and rocks. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Tenth Planet)

During a confrontation with the Schirr terrorists known as the Ten-Strong, the Doctor put himself under great strain to hold back a paralysing pulse capable of immobilising eight people with his own mind. He was able to disrupt the cyber-telepathic link the Ten-Strong were trying to use by making contact with the consciousness of Shel, an android who had been physically destroyed earlier but whose consciousness remained active in the network. As he and his companions departed, the Doctor began to reflect that he would soon feel a whole new person. (PROSE: Ten Little Aliens)

Suffering from nightmares about his father, the Doctor awoke to find the TARDIS had been drawn to Gallifrey on the night he absconded with Susan. Roaming the deserted mountains, he encountered his old mentor, K'anpo Rimpoche, and was offered a chance to return to his life on Gallifrey before his departure, which would rewrite his own past and erasing his travels in time and space. Resisting temptation, the Doctor ran from Gallifrey once again. (PROSE: The Three Paths)

Attempted to take Ben and Polly to the coronation of Queen Victoria, the Doctor landed on Mars instead. They set up a camp and a tent and began roasting marshmallows. However, a fault with the TARDIS forced them to leave in a hurry before the time machine took off without them. The tent, and the Doctor's pipe, were among the items left behind. (PROSE: Please Shut the Gate)

While dealing with a telepathic plague in the sixteenth century, the Doctor and his companions were assisted in curing the plague by another Time Lord, the Player. Once the initial virus had been dealt with, the Doctor had Polly confront the Player about his presence, and the Player explained that a force from the future had been interfering with the Doctor's timeline to prevent his regeneration into an incarnation who would be needed in a great conflict. Although the Player revealed that the Doctor would not become this incarnation for some time, the Doctor accepted the need to fulfil his destiny and return to the South Pole so that history could unfold as it should. (AUDIO: The Plague of Dreams)

Before Antarctica, the TARDIS fell out of the vortex, caught in the descent of an Angel falling through reality. Landing on an unnamed planet, the Doctor, Ben, and Polly spoke to the Angel, who told them all beings were always falling, and to let go. When the Angel faded away, the time travellers departed. (AUDIO: Falling)

Last stand at Snowcap Base
With his ancient body wearing thin, the Doctor, Ben and Polly arrived at the Snowcap base in 1986 Antarctica, where they were treated with hostility by General Cutler. When the pilots of Zeus IV discovered a new planet between Mars and Venus, the Doctor, having predicted this, tried to convince the crew that Earth had a twin planet millions of years ago called Mondas, but Cutler refused to listen and sent his men to claim the TARDIS. However, the station came under attack from the Cybermen, and the Doctor collapsed from exhaustion when Mondas began draining Earth's energies. (TV: The Tenth Planet)

While unconscious during the crisis at Snowcap base, the Doctor was contacted by Steven, and arrived to help stop the Vardan woman from Grace Alone getting revenge on him and Steven. The Doctor tried to contain the Vardan woman, but she escaped, only to be foiled by Steven's granddaughter, Sida, using the copy of the Doctor. Steven then sent the Doctor back to his body on Earth in order for him to get back to the TARDIS, sending the copy along with the Doctor to improve his chances of surviving the trip. (AUDIO: The Locked Room)

Having found a second wind, the Doctor confronted the Cybermen when they intended to take humanity to Mondas to turn them into their kind, but his attempt at negotiation resulted in him and Polly being taken hostage aboard the Cyber-ship. Held prisoner, the Doctor comforted Polly while Ben helped delay the Cyberman until Mondas was destroyed from overloading on Earth's energies. While emerging from his sleep, the Doctor overheard Ben claim that it was "all over now," and became annoyed. The Doctor left the Snowcap base without Ben or Polly, defiantly claiming that things were "far from being all over". (TV: The Tenth Planet)

Walking in the snow, the Doctor insisted to himself that he would not change, and that the entire idea was "ridiculous." He was soon called out by a kneeling figure, who claimed to be the Doctor. (TV: The Doctor Falls)

The Doctor caught one last sight of the fading image of his late companion Oliver Harper before entering the TARDIS. (AUDIO: The First Wave)

Death
Sometime later, Ben and Polly arrived at the TARDIS to find the doors locked with the Doctor inside. Dazed and confused as the TARDIS' controls operated on their own, the Doctor managed to open the doors with the last of his strength as he collapsed, having lost the energy needed to keep his old body going. (TV: The Tenth Planet)

As his twelfth incarnation recalled, his first regeneration was when he realised that "[he] wasn't who [he] thought [he] was". The Doctor's regeneration felt like "the end of everything" as every particle in his body was dying. (COMIC: Blood and Ice) Before the astonished eyes of his friends, the Doctor regenerated for the first time, transforming into a much younger body, (TV: The Tenth Planet) at the age of 450-years-old. (PROSE: Iceberg)

Post-mortem
When under attack by a space amoeba, the Fourth Doctor briefly turned back into his first incarnation. (COMIC: Timeslip)

In a dream, the Fourth Doctor encountered the First Doctor in a heavenly garden also occupied by his other previous incarnations, which made him aware that his own regeneration was on the horizon. (PROSE: Into the Silent Land)

When trapped in a dimensionally-unstable pocket universe controlled by Iam and the Rani, the Sixth Doctor's morphic print was destabilised, causing him to unwillingly regress back through his previous incarnations as his body sought a stable morphic print. He eventually 'settled' into his first body, which remained stable long enough for him to return to the TARDIS and return to his current self. (PROSE: State of Change)

When the Timewyrm sent Ace into the Seventh Doctor's mind, she encountered the First Doctor as an elderly librarian. (PROSE: Timewyrm: Revelation)

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

When Clara Oswald entered the Doctor's time stream, she saw the First Doctor walk past her when the Eleventh Doctor claimed that "everything around [her] was [him]". (TV: The Name of the Doctor)

When the Eleventh Doctor entered into the T'keyn Nexus in order to defend himself, Matrix projections of his previous incarnations, including the First Doctor, appeared inside it to defend themselves as well. Standing with his latest incarnation, the First Doctor debunked auditor Sondrah's accusations of him being a pestilence on the Earth. When the Eleventh Doctor began to deduce Sondrah's true identity, the past Doctors faded away as Oscar Wilde interfered with the Nexus. (COMIC: Dead Man's Hand)

When he was exposed to energy from a time storm, the Twelfth Doctor degenerated through all of his previous incarnations, including the First Doctor. (AUDIO: The Lost Magic)

Alternative timelines
When the Valeyard used his control of the Dark Matrix to corrupt the Doctors, the First Doctor's corruption occurred when he murdered other Time Lords just to leave Gallifrey in the first place. This timeline was later undone by the Seventh Doctor. (PROSE: Matrix)

In an alternate timeline created by the Black Guardian as revenge on the Doctor, the First Doctor never left Gallifrey, and eventually became Lord President. However, it also left Earth to be invaded by countless aliens, who were then at war over the planet. The Seventh Doctor, Benny, and Ace, with instructions from the White Guardian, were able to retrieve the Key to Time to set the timeline straight. (COMIC: Time & Time Again)

When the Cybermen allied with Rassilon to take over history, (COMIC: Supremacy of the Cybermen) they attacked the First Doctor on the day that he was supposed to leave Earth with Susan, Ian, and Barbara. (COMIC: Prologue: the First Doctor)

Personality
The First Doctor was an unreadable, guarded figure who was, at first, slow to trust newcomers who learnt of him, but once his trust had been earned, he would show another side of himself as a staunch anti-authoritarian with a mischievous streak. (TV: "An Unearthly Child") He was protective of the young women he took on as companions; they reminded him of his granddaughter, Susan. (TV: "Bell of Doom")

The Doctor held himself in high regard, and was prone to criticise those whom he felt were naïve or primitive compared to his intellect. (TV: An Unearthly Child, The Reign of Terror) However, he possessed compassion, warmth, and wit that made up for his egocentric nature, serving to act as a mentor and guardian figure in his elderly years. Originally a very difficult and curmudgeonly person, (TV: An Unearthly Child, The Edge of Destruction) the First Doctor matured from an apparent selfishness and became more inviting. (TV: The Rescue, The Time Meddler, The Smugglers) His happier, kinder characteristics fostered when he began to acquire an entourage of companions to accompany him throughout the wonders of the fourth dimension and learned to be a caregiver with a sense of justice in a universe afflicted by evils. (COMIC: Hunters of the Burning Stone)

The First Doctor's strongest trait was his grandfatherly approach to things. He was always looking out for Susan, even lecturing her many times and telling her off. (TV: An Unearthly Child, The Sensorites) His last act of paternity towards Susan was to leave her in the 22nd century with David Campbell, a freedom fighter she had fallen in love with, to start her own life. (TV: The Dalek Invasion of Earth) His grandfatherly ways were then passed over to Vicki Pallister, (TV: The Chase) and Polly Wright. (TV: The Tenth Planet)

When the Doctor first met Ian and Barbara, he abducted them and set the TARDIS console to shock Ian into unconsciousness. He justified his actions by claiming he was keeping himself and Susan safe. He regarded humans as primitives, (TV: "An Unearthly Child") and contemplated killing the mortally wounded Za so that he would not slow down the Doctor's party. When Ian caught him apparently ready to bludgeon the man with a rock, the Doctor explained he merely wanted Za to draw him a map, (TV: "The Forest of Fear") but this was, in fact, a lie to cover up his murder attempt. (PROSE: The Eight Doctors) When first visiting Skaro, the Doctor was willing to risk everyone's safety so he could satisfy his own curiosity, resulting in them nearly dying from radiation poisoning in the prison cells of the Dalek city. (TV: The Daleks) He also threatened to throw Ian and Barbara into space after accusing them of sabotage. When proven wrong, the Doctor humbly apologised. (TV: "The Brink of Disaster")

Despite this, even during his dark beginning, the Doctor showed signs of a kinder persona, being quick to bargain with the Tribe of Gum for Ian's safety. (TV: "The Cave of Skulls") He also offered to help build a ship for the Daleks to leave Skaro in return for Susan's safety and took it upon himself to ensure the Thals were not threatened with extinction. (TV: "The Rescue") The Twelfth Doctor later opined that his experience on Skaro shaped his identity for the better. (TV: Into the Dalek)

As the Doctor travelled more, he began to thaw and help people, albeit reluctantly at times, such as on Marinus, where he only agreed to help Arbitan restore the Conscience of Marinus after he was blackmailed, (TV: The Keys of Marinus) and more willingly on other occasions, such as when he landed during the 21st century Dalek invasion. (TV: The Dalek Invasion of Earth) Later, the Doctor was quick to help the Rills in their fight against the Drahvins on a doomed planet, noting that bias based on appearance was unwelcome, (TV: Galaxy 4) negotiated the release of the Monk from the Daleks, despite peace not being brokered between the two Time Lords, (TV: The Daleks' Master Plan) and, upon witnessing the persecution of the "savages", was quick to ally himself with them against the Elders, defying their suggestions that progress was based on exploitation, branding it as "protracted murder". (TV: The Savages)

The Doctor came to the defence of established history when Barbara attempted to alter the nature of the Aztec civilisation, claiming that not a single line in history could be altered. (TV: The Aztecs) Nevertheless, he gave first aid to the injured de Tornebu, justified stealing clothes based on the fact they were already stolen - finding his shoplifting of the clothes humorous - and tried to convince King Richard to carry out his peace plan. (TV: The Crusade) However, when he first challenged the Monk, the Doctor quickly labelled him a "time meddler" and quickly continued to uphold his belief that history could not be changed. (TV: "Checkmate") In Paris in August 1572, the Doctor again backed up his previous ideal that it was permissible to save people who were not directly contributing to historical events. (TV: The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve)

When he disagreed with something, the Doctor would scorn and get angry – denying the facts his companions gave to him in these situations. (TV: The Edge of Destruction, The Chase, The Time Meddler) He was frequently sarcastic towards those around him, seemingly to elevate himself above lesser intellects. (TV: The Time Meddler) He would get particularly snappish with those who doubted the TARDIS could actually travel through space and time. (TV: "The Cave of Skulls", "The Watcher")

The Doctor did not associate himself with a specific culture, claiming to be "a citizen of the universe, and a gentleman to boot," (TV: The Daleks' Master Plan) and did not allow others to intimidate him. (TV: "The Unwilling Warriors", The War Machines) He once stated his belief that there was a reason for everything in the universe and claimed to have "the directional instinct of a homing pigeon". (TV: The Chase)

Several of his future incarnations had a noticeably profound respect for the first incarnation, so much so that they dared not question his judgment, or argue in his presence. (TV: The Three Doctors, The Five Doctors) The Eleventh Doctor was an exception to this, as he looked upon his original incarnation with shame, branding him a "selfish idiot", and a coward. (COMIC: Hunters of the Burning Stone) The Twelfth Doctor considered his first incarnation to have been "eccentric, a bit mad, [and] rude to people." (TV: Hell Bent) The Tenth Doctor once described the First as "always trying to be old and grumpy and important like you do when you're young." (TV: Time Crash)

In turn, the Doctor labelled his third and second incarnations as "a dandy and a clown", and joked when meeting them for the first time to battle Omega that they had yet to do anything. However, he did get along with them to a point, though got noticeably frustrated when the Second Doctor was slow to catch on. (TV: The Three Doctors) He got on well with his fifth incarnation, at the end of their adventure admitting he did "quite well" and was reassured that his future was in safe hands. (TV: The Five Doctors)

When recalling her encounter with the First Doctor to the Monk, Ace described him as "sweet". (PROSE: No Future)

While Susan once described her grandfather as being a "great man", the Doctor considered himself to be very dangerous when roused. (AUDIO: Domain of the Voord, The Doctor's Tale) Geoffrey Chaucer, meanwhile, described the Doctor as being "a man of rare wit and temper, a philosopher." (AUDIO: The Doctor's Tale)

After his struggle with the Celestial Toymaker, the Doctor felt increasingly unwell and speculated that his first regeneration was nearing. (PROSE: The Man in the Velvet Mask) Though he was initially afraid of the change, (PROSE: Ten Little Aliens) the Doctor put on a brave face to comfort Polly Wright while dying as a prisoner of the Cybermen. After Ben rescued them, the Doctor returned to the TARDIS, using the last of his strength to unlock the door for Ben and Polly, (TV: The Tenth Planet) and then regenerated while terrified, until he realised that rather than being the "end of everything", it was a "new beginning". (COMIC Blood and Ice)

Habits and quirks
The First Doctor punctuated his speech with exasperated sighs, snorts, and the occasional mangled phrase or word. (TV: "The Survivors", "The Sea of Death", "Strangers in Space", "The Planet of Decision", "Trap of Steel", "Horse of Destruction", The Daleks' Master Plan) He also made a habit of repeatedly uttering "dear", (TV: "The Cave of Skulls", "Strangers in Space", "The Space Museum") and "yes". (TV: "The Powerful Enemy")

The Doctor would utter, "Good gracious me", when he was surprised, (TV: "Strangers in Space", "The Powerful Enemy") and end his sentences with, "Hmmmm?". (TV: An Unearthly Child, The Reign of Terror, The Romans, The Chase, The Myth Makers, The Daleks' Master Plan, The Celestial Toymaker)

He would address young women as "child" and younger men as "my boy", (TV: The Ark, The Tenth Planet) or in Ian's case by his surname, although often the wrong surname. (TV: The Romans) When he saw someone killed, he would describe the killer as a "butcher".

The Doctor tended to hold onto his lapels while speaking or thinking, (TV: The Edge of Destruction, The Sensorites, The Dalek Invasion of Earth, The Web Planet) and he would often release a little chuckle when something made him laugh. (TV: An Unearthly Child, The Romans, The Time Meddler, The Celestial Toymaker) Whenever he coughed, he would waft his tissue around. (TV: "An Unearthly Child")

As he was on the run from the Time Lords, (AUDIO: The Five Companions) the Doctor never stated the nature of his own origins, other than to hint that Susan and himself were exiles from another place and time, (TV: "An Unearthly Child") and to state that he and originated on the same world. (TV: "Checkmate")

The Doctor often made speeches, (TV: "An Unearthly Child", "The Brink of Disaster", "Flashpoint", "The Traitors", "Bell of Doom") and had a knack for metaphors (TV: "The Cave of Skulls") and proverbs. (TV: "The Rescue", "The Brink of Disaster", The Keys of Marinus, "Strangers in Space", "Prisoners of Conciergerie", "The Dimensions of Time")

The Doctor was very particular about how others addressed him; he refused to answer to the name "Dr. Foreman", (TV: "The Cave of Skulls ") disliked being referred to as "Doc", (TV: The Time Meddler, The Five Doctors) and also didn't like being called "Pops". (TV: The Gunfighters, The Tenth Planet)

Skills
The First Doctor was more of an intellectual incarnation, due to his older and frail appearance, and would mostly leave the fighting to Ian, Steven or Ben. He was certainly a thinker when it came to defeating his enemies; strategising the best way of defeating or tricking them. (TV: The Firemaker) Because of this, the Elders recognised him as a man of infinite wisdom. (TV: The Savages) His broad range of knowledge also allowed him to make various complex calculations from memory. (PROSE: City at World's End)

Whilst normally peaceful, the Doctor would, when pressed, resort to hand-to-hand combat with an effectiveness which belied his age, (TV: All Roads Lead to Rome, The Lion, The Chase, The Daleks' Master Plan; PROSE: A Big Hand for the Doctor) and had been trained to be a ninja while on Quinnis. (PROSE: The Devil Goblins from Neptune) At other times, however, the Doctor revealed age-related vulnerabilities, such as the rheumatism he suffered from, that flared up if he was exposed to cold. (TV: The Final Phase)

The Doctor was also a skilled gambler, being able to win half of Asia in a game with Kublai Khan. (TV: Assassin at Peking) Another ability of his was the ability to sense alien presence, getting goosebumps upon seeing the Post Office Tower and claiming that there was "something alien" about it. (TV: The War Machines)

Having been taught by the Master, (PROSE: The Dark Path) the Doctor could perform hypnosis with his signet ring, utilising it to break Dodo Chaplet's mind control by the artificial intelligence WOTAN, causing her to sleep for two days and forget her ordeal. (TV: The War Machines)

He was also quick to learn new skills when required; when trapped on the planet Avalon, the Doctor spent a few days being coached in the planet's "magic" by Kilvenny Odoyle, and was then able to hold his own against the powerful magician, Gramling, in a magical duel after he had been weakened by Odoyle and Anni Glassfeather. (PROSE: The Sorcerer's Apprentice)

Appearance
By the time he met Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright, the First Doctor appeared to be a man in his mid-fifties, who had shoulder length, greyish-white hair that grew around the back of his head, and piercing blue eyes that rested under expressive eyebrows. (TV: "An Unearthly Child")

In his youth, the Doctor had short, dark hair, (TV: Listen) and claimed that he was considered "quite a looker". (PROSE: The Plotters) Though other accounts disagreed with her statement, (COMIC: Time & Time Again; TV: The Name of the Doctor) Iris Wildthyme claimed that, when the Doctor first fled Gallifrey, he looked younger than the Eighth Doctor, with his hair not yet greyed. (PROSE: The Scarlet Empress)

Martin had been told by the head undertaker that the Doctor was "an old geezer with white hair." (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks) The Fifth Doctor likewise described his first incarnation as an "old man". (PROSE: Five Card Draw)

When Ace encountered the First Doctor in the Seventh Doctor's mind, she noticed that he kept his "silver hair swept back" and had a "long, hawklike nose". (PROSE: Timewyrm: Revelation) When Legion took on the appearance of the First Doctor, William Blake saw him as "an old man with neck length grey hair". (PROSE: The Pit) When she found his wanted poster, Bernice Summerfield described the First Doctor as "a dignified-looking white-haired man in an Edwardian frock coat". (PROSE: Sanctuary)

Sir Charles Summer described the Doctor as "an English gentleman in his early sixties, with imperious white hair swept back from his face and reaching almost to collar length, with haughty features and piercing eyes that burned with intelligence and wit." (PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy)

When Affinity took on the First Doctor's appearance, the Twelfth Doctor noted that his first incarnation was "an elderly gentleman," with his "white hair receded from a high forehead and spilled over the collar at back of his neck." The manifestation was dressed "in a [typically Victorian] dark jacket and checked trousers with a thin black cravat." (PROSE: Silhouette)

Clothing
The Doctor affected a slightly eccentric Edwardian dress sense, wearing a black shawl collar double breasted Town Coat, a yellow tweed waistcoat over a white shirt with a black ribbon tie, grey tartan trousers, and shiny elasticated boots when he left Earth with Susan, Ian and Barbara. (TV: "An Unearthly Child") When brought to Vortis from Rome, the Doctor changed out of his roman garb into a mustardy brown waistcoat and a cream ivory-coloured striped ascot to accompany his usual gear. (TV: "The Web Planet")

He wore a blue signet ring on the middle finger of his right hand, (TV: "An Unearthly Child") which had special powers, such as to unlock the door of the TARDIS. (TV: The Daleks' Master Plan) On one occasion, the ring appeared to both facilitate hypnotism and protect the Doctor from electrical shock. (TV: The War Machines) On occasions, he did not wear his ring, and wore fingerless gloves instead. (TV: The Tenth Planet, The Five Doctors)

Occasionally, he would wear a cape, (TV: Planet of Giants, The War Machines) or sport half-moon reading glasses. (TV: The Time Meddler, The Daleks' Master Plan, The War Machines) He also carried a monocle on a necklace. (TV: The Sensorites, The Web Planet; PROSE: The Sons of the Crab, Peril in Mechanistria, The Fishmen of Kandalinga)

For headgear, he would wear an Astrakhan, (TV: (TV: "An Unearthly Child", The Tenth Planet) or a white . (TV: The Chase, The Daleks' Master Plan) He also used a smoking pipe on at least one occasion, (TV: "The Cave of Skulls") and also employed a walking stick given to him by Kublai Khan. (TV: Marco Polo)

When adventuring into Earth's past, the First Doctor would make changes to his wardrobe so as to blend in with the local population, (TV: The Reign of Terror, The Romans, The Crusade, The Gunfighters) and would gladly accept the vestments of extraterrestrial societies, as when he proudly wore the ceremonial garb of the Elders. (TV: The Savages)

Other matters
The First Doctor was one of only two incarnations ever known to smoke, (TV: "The Cave of Skulls") the other being the Eighth Doctor, although this only took place when the Doctor's mind and personality were briefly 'mixed up' with traits from his companion Fitz Kreiner. (PROSE: Halflife)

When the Doctor, Vicki Pallister, Barbara Wright and Ian Chesterton were being chased by the Daleks through time, he claimed to have built the TARDIS. (TV: The Chase) On the face of it, this statement appears to be in contrast with later incarnations and Time Lord authorities who claimed that the TARDIS was "borrowed"/"stolen", (PROSE: The Gallifrey Chronicles, TV: Planet of the Dead) an account the TARDIS itself agreed with. (TV: The Doctor's Wife) It has also been suggested that the TARDIS was better described as having been "grown", rather than "built". (TV: The Impossible Planet) Though, the Doctor added various components to the TARDIS console to prevent himself forming a complete mental link to the ship that would have made it easier for the Time Lords to find him. (PROSE: The Taking of Planet 5)

The First Doctor always wanted to visit Traken. (AUDIO: The Toy) He would later do so during his second, (PROSE: The Astronomer's Apprentice) fourth (TV: The Keeper of Traken) and fifth incarnations. (AUDIO: Primeval)

The matter of this incarnation's age and how long this incarnation lived was unclear, although Susan once called him an adolescent by Time Lord standards; (AUDIO: Here There Be Monsters) shortly after his regeneration, his next incarnation stated that he was around 450 years old. (TV: The Tomb of the Cybermen)
 * See separate article.

Behind the scenes

 * The First Doctor was dubbed in Spanish by Richard Del Olmo and in Italian by Giovanni Petrucci in The Name of the Doctor.
 * When introduced in the script for An Unearthly Child, the First Doctor was physically described with the statement, "His clothes are bizarre."

The Brilliant Book 2011
According to The Brilliant Book 2011, a non-narrative based book, the First Doctor met Winston Churchill in 1911, stepping out of the TARDIS to tell Churchill it was an honour to meet him. When Churchill informed the Doctor they had met before, the Doctor chuckled and said, "That's the trouble with time travel".

Actors considered for the role of "Doctor Who", as he was then known, included Geoffrey Bayldon , Cyril Cusack, Hugh David and Leslie French. (Bayldon would later play an alternate version of the First Doctor in two Unbound adventures for Big Finish Productions: NOTVALID: Auld Mortality and NOTVALID: A Storm of Angels.) William Hartnell had, up until that point, mainly played small-time thugs and other unsympathetic parts in crime films and humourless military men in comedies. Producer Verity Lambert was inspired to ask him to accept the role after seeing him in his well-known role in, which convinced her that he could play a tough, yet shaded and sympathetic character.

During the First Doctor's tenure, other actors occasionally stood in for Hartnell, either for demanding scenes, or due to Hartnell being ill or otherwise unavailable. Edmund Warwick stood in for Hartnell in one episode of The Dalek Invasion of Earth, and played the real Doctor in some scenes of The Chase when Hartnell was playing the Robot Doctor. In The Tenth Planet, Gordon Craig acted as a body double for Hartnell during the snowstorm scenes in the first episode, and then all of the third episode, after Hartnell was taken ill.

When the time came for the First Doctor to appear in the 1983 Children in Need anniversary special TV: The Five Doctors, actor Richard Hurndall was hired to play the role, standing in for William Hartnell, who had died in the mid-1970s. A clip of Hartnell as the Doctor from The Dalek Invasion of Earth preceded the opening titles, and Hartnell's name appeared amongst those of his fellow Doctors in the end credits.

During the 50th anniversary year, in 2013, Hartnell appeared in TV: The Name of the Doctor by way of manipulated stock footage and audio, allowing the actor to posthumously share dialogue with Jenna-Louise Coleman playing a "splinter" of Clara Oswald. Later in 2013, Hartnell was again represented via stock footage in TV: The Day of the Doctor, but with John Guilor providing newly recorded dialogue.

David Bradley played Hartnell himself, playing the First Doctor, in the 2013 docu-drama An Adventure in Space and Time. In 2017, Bradley was brought to the show proper, to play the First Doctor himself; the Doctor as played by David Bradley appeared at the end of TV: The Doctor Falls.

In audio, William Russell voiced the First Doctor for Big Finish's The Light at the End. He also voices him in all Companion Chronicles and Early Adventures plays that feature his own character Ian, while Peter Purves portrays him in the plays that feature Steven. Beginning with in 2017, Elliot Chapman also plays the Doctor in plays that feature Ben.

The website whoisdoctorwho.co.uk had a list of sightings of the Doctor from which people had ostensibly been submitting to Clive Finch, a conspiracy theorist character from TV: Rose.

A submission from an 81-year-old Mrs. Smith mentions her working as an usherette at the Ritz Cinema in Totter's Lane, which was later demolished and turned into flats. In 1963, she encountered a version of the Doctor with white hair, and a younger girl Mrs. Smith presumed was his granddaughter. While watching a film on the fall of Rome at the cinema, she recalled the Doctor continuously tutting and muttering that it wasn't historically accurate. She "gave him a piece of [her] mind and sent him packing". He stormed towards the old junkyard and she never saw from him again. She presumed Clive's Doctor posted on the website, the Ninth Doctor, was some sort of relation, rather than another incarnation like the first.
