Eleventh Doctor

The Eleventh Doctor was the eleventh incarnation of the Time Lord known as the Doctor. Although he was erratic in behaviour and very alien compared to his previous incarnation, he retained his youthful vigour for defending the Universe. He married River Song, making him the son-in-law of companions Amy Pond and Rory Williams.

Foreshadowing
While visiting 1851 London, the Tenth Doctor encountered a human called Jackson Lake in 1851 who falsely believed himself to be the Doctor. He theorised that Lake might be his next incarnation, or at least a future incarnation. (DW: The Next Doctor) After the 200 returned to London from San Helios, the psychic Carmen predicted the Doctor's imminent "death." (DW: Planet of the Dead)

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

Regeneration
After absorbing a vast amount of radiation, the Doctor's tenth incarnation regenerated, returning to his TARDIS to do so. The release of energy during regeneration caused significant damage to the TARDIS.

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

Alone no more
Crash landing on Earth, the Doctor met Amelia Pond, a lonely little Scottish girl with a mysterious crack in her bedroom wall. Investigating the crack, the Doctor learned an alien called Prisoner Zero escaped from a prison on the other side of the crack. However, before the Doctor could investigate further, the cloister bell brought him back to the TARDIS, where he had to stabilize the damaged engines. The Doctor promised Amelia that he would return in five minutes and allow her to travel with him once the TARDIS was fixed. However, due to the damaged engines, the Doctor accidently ended up arriving twelve years in the future. Upon being detained by an now bitter Amelia, who is now a young woman going by "Amy", the Doctor learned that his encounter with her in her childhood had affected her life.

However, the Doctor managed to persude her into helping him capture Prisoner Zero for the Atraxi, the alternative being Earth's incineration by Prisoner Zero's Atraxi. After effectively detaining Prisoner Zero, and stealing a new outfit, the Doctor decides to take a short trip to the moon to break in the new TARDIS engines, intending to return to Amy and invite her to join him on his travels. However, the TARDIS went off course again and he appeared two years after the Atraxi escapade. Amy was skeptical after all her years of waiting, but the Doctor was eager for her to become his companion and talked her into coming aboard the TARDIS. Unknown to him, the Doctor had arrived the night before her wedding and was tricked into promising to return her to the exact time they left. (DW: The Eleventh Hour)

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

Arriving a month after the call, the Doctor and Amy met Churchill. Along with him were two Dalek survivors of the War in the Medusa Cascade, pretending to aid Britain in the fight against the Nazis. The Doctor fell into a trap when trying to prove the Daleks were evil and unwittingly allowed them to use a Progenitor device to rebuild their race. Finding himself having to choose between saving the Earth and destroying the Daleks, the Doctor chose the Earth and let the Daleks escape. (DW: Victory of the Daleks)

The Doctor and Amy saved London from the Space Leeches by leading them to his TARDIS to take them to another planet. (DWA: Attack of the Space Leeches!)

The Doctor and Amy travelled to the Blue Boar Services in 1959, where they encountered a gang of teenage Petrolions. The Doctor tricked them by waiting until they ran out of fuel, and changed the direction of the fuel, taking the Petrolions off of their bikes. He then ordered them to return to their home planet. (DWA: Madness on the M1!)

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

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

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

The Doctor and Amy discovered the Daleks destroyed the human race in 1963, using the Eye of Time to alter history. Following them back to Skaro they were able to use the Eye to undo the damage they did. (VG: City of the Daleks)

In 2010, the Doctor and Amy discovered an ancient Cyberman army trapped underground at GSO Arctic Drilling Station in the Arctic circle, being dug up by Cyberslaves, cyborgs created by a Cybermat nanovirus. (VG: Blood of the Cybermen)

The Doctor and Amy visited Smyslov 3 for the first time, from their perspective, and learned that their future selves had already visited. (WC: Wish You Were Here) Later, the Doctor and Amy fought the Entity inside the TARDIS. (VG: TARDIS)

Following their run in with the Entity the Doctor continued to their intended vacation spot, Poseidon 8, and discovered that it was under attack by a Alien Shark and occupied by the Vashta Nerada. The Doctor traced the appearance of both the Shark and the Vashta Nerada to the World War II era warship the USS Eldridge and was able to deactivate a malfunctioning cloaking device and returned the Shark and Vashta Nerada to their proper timelines.

Out of guilt, the Doctor took Amy to visit several nice locations, but ended up on an adventure to save Vincent van Gogh from a Krafayis, a beast only Vincent could see; they ended up on this trip after seeing it in one of his paintings on display in 2010. The Doctor and Vincent's battle with the Krafayis ultimately resulted in the creature's death. Then the doctor took Vincent back to the art gallery and after a speech from the art museum director ended up causing the Doctor to become the first doctor to actually make a difference to Vincent's life. (DW: Vincent and the Doctor) The Doctor and Amy encountered Hubert Crimp, a slave trader, at the Trans-Vegas Casino. They freed all of his slaves and won all of his money, giving it to his ex-slaves. (DWA: Winning Hand) The Doctor returned his books to the Library, where they encountered Book Monsters. Amy and he discovered that they needed to feed the the Book Monsters stories, and they were saved by telling them a story about Space Wolves and Sky Sheep. (DWA: Booked Up) After this, he solved the problem of the TARDIS' arrival sound annoying the inhabitants by muffling the noise with a fire extinguisher. (DWA: Bad Vibrations)

At some point during this time, the Doctor took Amy to the planet Caligaris Epsilon Six, where he fought the Serpentines and searched for Elim's sister, Aurelia. (IDW: A Fairytale Life)

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

Restarting the Universe
While visiting Planet One, the Doctor discovered a message from River that led him and Amy to Britain 102 A.D. to meet up with her. The Doctor learned from River that Vincent had drawn a preminition of the TARDIS exploding and gave it the title "The Pandorica Opens". This led him to Stonehenge, where an Alliance of alien species that fought and hated him wished to imprison him in the Pandorica to prevent the cracks in time from occuring. However, right after the Doctor had been sealed inside, the TARDIS exploded anyway; everything but the Earth vanished. (DW: The Pandorica Opens)

Luckily, the Doctor was released from the Pandorica right after by an Auton copy of Rory, who was on orders from the Doctor's future self to set up a series of paradoxical events that lead to this. The Doctor then used River's vortex manipulator to travel nearly 2000 years into the future and after a confrontation with an echo of a Dalek, wired it into the Pandorica with the plan to restart the universe using its restoration field powered by the exploding TARDIS. The Doctor piloted the Pandorica into the explosion to suddenly find himself one week in his past; his time stream was unraveling, meaning he would be lost to the cracks. Right before electing to fastforward to oblivion, the Doctor left a psychic imprint in Amy's mind to allow her to remember him back into existence. On Amy's wedding day, the Doctor was returned to the universe and attended Amy and Rory's reception. Following the reception, the Doctor recieved a call for help and took off for a new adventure with Amy and Rory. (DW: The Big Bang)

During Amy and Rory's honeymoon
The Doctor left Amy and Rory on a honeymoon planet shortly before his TARDIS was taken by a rouge branch of the Claw Shansheeth, leaving him trapped on the Wasteland of the Crimson Heart. The Shansheeth then announced the Doctor was dead and held a funeral for him, planning to drain the memories of his past companions Sarah Jane Smith and Josephine Jones to create a TARDIS key using a Memory Weave. The Doctor managed to travel to Earth using residule Artron energy Clyde Langer absorbed from the TARDIS during their previous encouter and defeated the Shansheeth with the help of Jo, Sarah and Sarah's companions. (SJA: Death of the Doctor)

The Doctor later met Kazran Sardick, a man who refused to help him save both his companions and 4001 others trapped on a crashing starliner. The Doctor then used time travel to alter Kazran's life, hoping to change him into a better person by allowing him to live a life with his love, Abigail Pettigrew. Though it seemed unsuccessful in the first two thirds of his plan, the Doctor did succeed after showing child Kazaran the cruel person he would become. This allowed the Doctor to both make the elder Kazran a kind man and save his friends. The Doctor then began thinking of other Honeymoon locations for Amy and Rory to visit. (DW: A Christmas Carol)

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

First encounter with the Silence
Some time after Amy and Rory's wedding, the Doctor had been traveling by himself and received a mysterious invitation leading him to an American diner in 2011, where he found Amy, Rory and River. Unbeknownst to him, they had witnessed the death of his current incarnation. Knowing they were keeping something from him, the younger Doctor reluctantly agreed to find the fourth invitee, Canton Delaware in 1969. He found Delaware being consulted by US President Richard Nixon in 1969 about a mysterious call. The Doctor traced the call to a building in Florida, where the caller, a little girl, was kept in a biomechanical "spacesuit" and also discovered Earth was occupied by the Silence. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut) Three months later, Canton Delaware interned the Doctor at Area 51 while he pretended to hunt down Amy, Rory and River. With friends reunited, the Doctor set about capturing a Silent and driving it to utter the words "you should kill us all on sight". The Doctor recorded this and spliced it into the footage of the 1969 Moon landing, planting a post-hypnotic suggestion in the minds of every human who would watch the footage. With the defeat of the Silence assured, the Doctor set off for new adventures with Amy and Rory after returning River to Stormcage. However, once there, he was shocked to receive a kiss from her, much to his pleasure and confusion. (DW: Day of the Moon)

Traveling with Amy and Rory again
The TARDIS received a distress signal, leading the Doctor, Amy and Rory to a pirate ship, the Fancy, in the seventeenth century. After managing to keep themselves from being forced to walk the plank, the Doctor learned that the pirates were being terrorised by a "Siren". However, following the whole crew and Rory being taken by the Siren, it was revealed that she was in fact a virtual physician from an invisible and intangible spaceship that occupied the same space as the Fancy. The matter was resolved with the Fancy's crew taking over the spaceship to give the Siren someone to look after. (DW: The Curse of the Black Spot)

Following an apparent distress message from another surviving Time Lord, the Doctor left our universe and arrived in a bubble universe on a sentient planetoid known as House. There, the Matrix of the Doctor's TARDIS was placed in Idris. From the remnants of other TARDISes they built a new one and piloted it into the Doctor's. When Idris died the Matrix was released back into the TARDIS, where it drove out House, who had taken control in its absence. During this time, the Doctor learned he had not stolen the TARDIS by chance; it wanted to leave Gallifrey as much as he did. (DW: The Doctor's Wife)

The Doctor and his companions later crash-landed in the 22nd century after a devastating solar storm struck the TARDIS. There, they found a factory mining acid, and were later captured by the factory's workers for trespassing. Miranda Cleaves, the apparent leader of the group, led the trio of time travellers to a vat of a substance known as "The Flesh", which created clones (known as Gangers) of the workers to work in hazardous environments. A follow-up solar storm allowed the Gangers to function on their own. The Doctor saw no difference between Ganger and human, deciding to bring them together in peace. However, each party was bent on destroying the other, prompting the Doctor try preventing genocide again. While hiding from hostile Ganger in the factory, the Doctor was shocked to come across a Ganger of himself. (DW: The Rebel Flesh) After his Ganger stabilized, the Doctor got along well with his copy. To test if Amy could get along with his double, the Doctor and his Ganger switched their shoes, the only way to distinguish them from each other. The Doctor's plan nearly backfired when the workers treated him poorly. After managing to win the other Gangers over, the Doctor decided to evacuate everyone from the soon-to-explode island. However, Jennifer Lucas' ganger tried to kill them, forcing the Doctor to leave his Ganger to destabilise the flesh at the cost of himself. After setting up a conference for Ganger rights, the Doctor revealed that he learned the Amy with him and Rory was not actually her. Upon realising Amy was a Ganger, the Doctor wanted to secretly visit the Flesh to cut its connection to her. Promising Amy that he and Rory would find her, he dissolved her. (DW: The Almost People)

Reunions and truths
The Doctor then spent a month's worth of time collecting on old debts owed to him by various species, putting together an army to rescue Amy and her new born baby, Melody Pond. After masquerading as a Headless monk to cause chaos amongst them and the Church, the Doctor won the battle without bloodshed in under 4 minutes. However, this ended up being a trap set by Madame Kovarian, who escaped with the real Melody after dissolving the Ganger she left in place of her. It was then River appeared, angering the Doctor as a future version of herself had not come when she was asked to help. Despite his anger, the Doctor calmed down after River revealed herself to be adult Melody Pond. With his hope renewed, the Doctor had an idea where baby Melody was and left to find and save her from Kovarian while adult River returned his friends to their proper times. (DW: A Good Man Goes to War) {C} {C}After Amy and Rory waited "all summer", the Doctor (unsuccessful in finding Melody) noticed a newspaper from Leadworth showing a "crop circle" of his name and travelled there to discover Amy and Rory waiting for him. He then met Amy and Rory's childhood friend Mels, who, at gunpoint, demanded the Doctor take her to kill Adolf Hitler. Upon arriving, the Doctor accidently crashed the TARDIS into a humanoid ship called the Teselecta piloted by miniaturized time travelers who wished to take Hitler from near the end of his timeline and punish him. However, the partial Time Lord Mels regenerated, revealing herself as Melody Pond, in the body that the Doctor, Amy and Rory recognised as River Song. The Doctor stopped Melody's numerous tries to kill him, but was left helpless to an unexpected poisoned kiss. Dying, he ordered her parents to catch her to prevent her from becoming worse. After getting encouragement from a hologram of young Amelia, the Doctor tried to reason with the crew of the Teselecta to leave River alone instead of capturing her. In exchange, the Doctor learns that the Silence wasn't the name of a species, but a religion that wished to have "silence fall" when the "first question" was asked. Before succumbing to the poison, the Doctor passed a message to Melody to give to River. Melody, learning she was in fact River, had a change of heart and used her remaining regenerations to bring him back. The Doctor then left River in the "best hospital" in the universe to be treated while leaving her a notebook to begin record their adventures from her perspective. Unbeknownst to his companions, the Doctor got a sneak peak at his upcoming death through downloaded information from the Teselecta. (DW: Let's Kill Hitler)

Marching forward
Upon receiving a cry for help on his psychic paper, the Doctor went to see the message's sender and discovered a young boy named George. Upon learning the monsters George feared in his cupboard were real, the Doctor decided to investigate his origins. He wound up sucked into a doll house in the cupboard with George's father Alex. The doll house was inhabited by Peg Dolls and Amy had been transformed into one. Putting the pieces together, the Doctor realized that George was an alien brought to Alex and his wife as they could not have kids and the doll house was where George put all his fears, which had grown out of control. The Doctor encouraged George to face his fears and escaped the doll house with Amy, Rory, and Alex. (DW: Night Terrors)

The Doctor decided his companions needed some time off from their adventures and took them to the second most popular vacation spot in the universe, Apalapucia. However, stuck behind a quarantine, Amy accidently admitted herself into the Two Streams Facility's for Chen-7, which was lethal to the Doctor, but harmless to humans. The Doctor accidentally locked onto Amy's timestream thirty-six years later, and had to deal with her hostile older self to help rescue her younger self. The Doctor left the older Amy behind, erasing her timestream and replacing it with the past Amy. (DW: The Girl Who Waited)

Good-byes
The Doctor was puzzled to see the TARDIS arrived in an alien struture based on a 1980s Earth hotel. There he discovered an imprisoned creature feeding off the faith and lifeforce of those unfortunate enough to be trapped with it. The Doctor found a room that held his deepest fear, but kept quiet. To save Amy from being the creature's next victim, he was forced to break her faith in the "Raggedy Doctor", allowing Amy to live and the creature to die as it wished. The Doctor realised how much he endangered Amy and Rory. He left them behind in a new home with a luxurious car to avoid putting them in more danger. (DW: The God Complex)

Sometime after leaving Amy and Rory, knowing his death was an imminent and fixed point in time, the Doctor began a "farwell tour" which lasted nearly 200 years. At the end of this 200 year period the Doctor paid a social call on Craig Owens and discovered Craig and Sophie had a son named Alfie. While trying to leave, the Doctor noticed power fluctuations consistent with teleportation energy. He and Craig discovered six Cybermen, whose ship crashed on Earth centuries ago, rebuilding by converting kidnapped people with spare parts and using Cybermats to drain the city's power. Although Craig was almost converted into the new Cyber-Controller, the Doctor managed to destroy the Cybermen and save Craig and Alfie. The Doctor then used up the last of his free time to repair damages to Craig's home caused by a Cybermat. He also took some TARDIS colored envelopes and said his last goodbye. As he walked towards the TARDIS, he saw three children and smiled. Years later, River would read the Doctor seemed "happy" even though he knew his death was coming. (DW : Closing Time)

Cheating Death
Whil still looking for the answer as to why he should die, the Doctor decided to look around for answers. This eventualy leads him to encounter Father Gideon Vandaleur, a known Silence agent. However, the Doctor knows it's the Teselecta, having already dealt with Gideon. Using information from the Teselecta, the Doctor finds a Silence agent and is taken to the head of Dorium Maldovar. From Dorium, the Doctor learns the Silence created his death at a fix point simply because they don't want him around and what the answer to the first question in the universe is. Upon arriving to see the Teselecta again to have them send out his letters to River Song, Amy Pond, Rory Williams, Canton Everett Delaware III and a slightly younger version of himself, the Doctor is then asked if there is anything the crew can do for him as he has done so much for the universe. The Doctor then came up with an idea. He had the Teselecta miniaturize himself and the TARDIS inside of it and have take his form. At Lake Silencio, Utah, on April 22, 2011 at 5:02 PM, person in an astronaut suit emerged from the lake. The Doctor, in control of the Teselecta approched River Song and told her that she is forgiven and has the Teselecta brace itself. River, not wanting to kill him, broke the astronaut suit's control over her, and emptied the suit's weapon system, instead of shooting The Doctor. This caused all of time to happen at once, and the date and time to always be April 22, 2011, 5:02 P.M.

After being brought to the headquarters of the Silence resitance, the Doctor met the broken reality's version of River and told her that the only way to set things right and let time move forward was to touch him, cancelling the paradox, and reverting them to the moment of his death at Lake Silencio. She refused and further explained that "sun spots" everyone was talking about on the news were actually a "million million" voices answering yes to her asking "The Doctor is dying, please, please, help". She had made a "Timey Wimey Distress Beacon" that had sent a message to every living creature in every point in time and space asking for help in saving The Doctor's life and nearly every civilisation in the Universe was crying "yes, of course we'll help".

The Doctor took off his bowtie and tied it around his own and River's wrists. He had Amy and Rory give their consent. The Doctor whispered in River's ear, "Look into my eye". When she did, she saw a miniature version of the Doctor standing in front of his TARDIS. Realising that she would "kill" the Teselecta, and not the real Doctor, they kissed, marrying one another, and reverting time back to Lake Silencio, Utah April 22, 2011, 5:02 P.M. Time resumed, every living thing in the Universe was saved, and River shot the Teselecta. The Doctor had to make sure that they wouldn't extensive in making sure that "he" was dead, so it can be assumed the Doctor paid a visit to Canton III and told him about his plan so he could have someone falsely verify his death to the other witnesses. Following his fake funeral instructions, the Doctor watched as his companions put the Teselecta in a boat and give "him" a viking funeral to keep his body from being analyzed. Both the Doctor and his TARDIS returned to normal size once outside the confines of the Teselecta's compression field.

Shortly after his "death", the Doctor was revealed to be alive to Amy and Rory after River paid them as visit following the events at the Byzantium and that she remained in Stormcage to serve her sentence for murder so that the Silence would believe that the Doctor was dead. The Doctor returned to Dorium's head, whom he revelaed his plan to, and Dorium repeated the "first question" that The Silence repeatedly referred to was "Doctor Who?", the answer being his true name. The Doctor decided that now that he's "gone" it was time to step back into the shadows as he got "too big, too noisy". All the while, he would take River from Stormcage occasionaly and go on dates. (DW: The Wedding of River Song)

Personality
The eleventh incarnation was highly energetic and very lively, with additional liveliness during his post-regenerative period. He was extremely brash and unafraid to show his eccentricities, appearing to act alien. He was extremely resourceful and quick thinking, able to spin things to his point of view, and could find positive outlooks in negative situations. (DW: The Eleventh Hour) When things looked bleakest, he attempted to have those around him focus on the positives that will come from the situation if they survived. (DW: A Christmas Carol)

When thinking about a problem, he blocked out all outside distractions, to the point where he told Amy "you're dying shut up" so he could solely concentrate on working out how to save her. (DW: Flesh and Stone) Though he would tell others to shut up if he failed to do anything right. (DW: A Christmas Carol)

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

This incarnation also possessed a sense of arrogance, stating to Amy that "time is not the boss of me" (DW: The Time of Angels) and "you don't ever decide what I need to know". (DW: The Beast Below) Unlike the Tenth Doctor, the Eleventh was very hostile towards the Daleks, stating that they were the worst things in creation and attacking one of them to provoke it into revealing its true nature. This incarnation did not seem to share his predecessor's belief that the Daleks could change. (DW: Victory of the Daleks)

Despite his aggression towards the Daleks, the Doctor still preferred to settle problems through negotiation rather than violence and reprimanded Ambrose Northover for suggesting to use weapons against the Silurians. (DW: The Hungry Earth, Cold Blood) However, the Doctor could be ruthless if necessary. (DW: A Christmas Carol, Day of the Moon)

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

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

This incarnation was also very selfless and willing to sacrifice himself for his friends or for the greater good. He was responsible for closing the cracks in time despite the fact that he knew he was going to end up on the wrong side of the cracks. (DW: The Big Bang) However the Doctor did not realise that he was a good man, thinking that he was selfish and his arrogance appeared to be a facade to hide the insecurities he had about his personality. He felt guilty for, from his point of view, ruining the lives of his companions, although most, possibly all of his companions considered travelling with him to be the adventure of a lifetime. (DW: Let's Kill Hitler, The God Complex)

Also, despite being defensive of his sonic screwdriver, this incarnation admits that he must find some way of affecting wood with it. (DW: The Hungry Earth, Night Terrors)

He believed in solving problems in the reverse order. Such as if someone tried to kill him, he would use clues from it to work backwards to the originating thing he might have done to earn such fate. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut)

While initially shocked by River Song's romantic advances, (DW: Day of the Moon) he later appeared to have begun returning them as he described his adventure to save her from the Teselecta a "first date". (DW: Let's Kill Hitler) When he, River and Rory were rescuing Amy from the Silence, the Doctor and River flirted with each other and the Doctor commented that he liked River's habit of shooting people despite the fact that he would normally disapprove of it. (DW: Day of the Moon) Further showing how much he returns her feelings, the Doctor married her, kissing her quite passionately, albeit whilst inside the Teselecta. (DW: The Wedding of River Song)

Habits and Quirks
This incarnation of the Doctor had incredible eyesight and an eidetic memory. He could scan an entire scene and pick out tiny details, imploring his companions to do so as well. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, The Beast Below, A Christmas Carol) His powers of deduction often involved leaning close to someone and frantically scanning their face. (DW: Flesh and Stone) He was capable of Sherlock Holmes-like feats of extrapolation, reconstructing Kazran Sardick's childhood from the arrangement of the furniture in his living room. These skills also came in handy for predicting the actions of people he knew well, such as River Song. (DW: A Christmas Carol, Let's Kill Hitler) He showed a penchant for talking with his hands, and could calculate a situation with hand gestures. (DW: Flesh and Stone) He had a habit of spinning in circles when walking if showing off or needing to face somone he was currently running from to gab more. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, The Vampires of Venice, Night Terrors)

Since developing his eleventh taste buds, the Doctor gained a liking for fish custard (DW: The Eleventh Hour) and Jammie Dodgers. (DW: Victory of the Daleks, The Impossible Astronaut) while disliking wine (which he enjoyed drinking eight lives prior). (DW: The Lodger, The Impossible Astronaut)

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

Like his predessor's repititon of the word "What" during time of confusinon, the Eleventh Doctor will repeat "No" if something is going horribly wrong. Or simply say it as a warning to prevent an important figure in history's death. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, Victory of the Daleks, Vincent and the Doctor, Night Terrors, The Wedding of River Song )

Occasionaly, the Doctor will trade barbs or flirt with River Song, much to the annoyance or pleasure of the other. (DW: The Time of Angels, Flesh and Stone, The Big Bang, The Impossible Astronaut, Day of the Moon, Let's Kill Hitler, The Wedding of River Song)

This Doctor alluded to an interest in knitting and learning to knit on several occasions. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut, The Wedding of River Song)

He also had a habit of rambling, making rapid amendments to his speech, sometimes sounding like he was talking nonsense. (DW: The Time of Angels, The Vampires of Venice, A Christmas Carol, The Almost People, A Good Man Goes to War, 'Night Terrors)

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

When facing a personal problem, a sense of honor or when seeing a situation as too dangerous for his companions to participate in, the Doctor would demand they return to the TARDIS or would leave them in the safest place possible. At times, he would trick them into doing so through a fool's errand or have someone else return them home. (DW: Victory of the Daleks, The Time of Angels, The Vampires of Venice, The Doctor's Wife, A Good Man Goes to War)

Though rarely used, the eleventh still could analyse objects by taste or smell, much like his previous and Fifth incarnations. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, The Time of Angels, The Hungry Earth) Also, like his previous and Fourth incarnations, he took random objects from his pockets to assist him in a situation, ranging from a handkerchief to a UV wand. (DW: Victory of the Daleks, The Vampires of Venice, The Hungry Earth, Cold Blood) He still relied on his Psychic Paper, though to a lesser extent than his previous incarnation; however he ended up shorting it out once. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, The Vampires of Venice, The Lodger, A Christmas Carol, The Rebel Flesh)

The eleventh incarnation used his telepathic powers occasionally, to expose enemies, (DW: The Eleventh Hour), to allow himself and Amy to see what Vincent saw (DW: Vincent and the Doctor) or to show others his past quickly through head-butting. (DW: The Lodger) He also used them to leave Amy a message when she woke and was released from the Pandorica. (DW: The Big Bang) Much like his previous incarnation, the Eleventh felt his age mentally, as it took him longer times to figure things out. (DW: Vincent and the Doctor)

The Eleventh seemed distressed when looking back on his previous lives. While being erased from existence, he only made it to the night he met Amy before he opted to bypass the rest of his rewinding timeline and skip directly to his oblivion, saying he hated "repeats." (DW: The Big Bang) The Ganger Doctor shouted "let it go!" and he's "past that" and "moved on" while fast-forwarding through them to catch up to the Eleventh. (DW: The Almost People). He was noticably disappointed when his Visual Recognition System identified him with images of the First and Second Doctors. (DW: Vincent and the Doctor) Despite this, he was thrilled when he had the chance to have a conversation with himself (notably of the same incarnation), which was mutually interesting to himself and his double, (DW: The Almost People) and was perfectly comfortable around mementoes of his past. (DW: Vincent and the Doctor, SJA: Death of the Doctor, VG: TARDIS)

Another jarring aspect of this Doctor was his blatant self-loathing. He claimed that no one else in the Universe hated him as much he hated himself, (DW: Amy's Choice) and stated that he did not believe he was a good man. (DW: A Good Man Goes to War) When the TARDIS used an image of himself as a holographic interface, he told it to change to someone he liked. (DW: Let's Kill Hitler)

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

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

Appearance
This incarnation had long, dark hair which initially made him believe himself female. He confirmed that he wasn't by the presence of an Adam’s apple, but was still annoyed that he was not ginger. He had a large chin, which seemed to initially unsettle him, and green eyes. He commented on his nose though noted that he'd had worse. (DW: The End of Time)

Clothes
The eleventh incarnation stole his clothing from the staff room of a hospital. The outfit consisted of a plain brown tweed jacket with elbow patches, a dress shirt, a bow tie, braces, a gold wrist watch, rolled up navy-blue trousers and black boots. He would change the colour of his shirt, bow tie and braces from burgundy to blue. (DW: The Eleventh Hour)


 * Since he only stole this initial outfit from Royal Leadworth Hospital, he presumably had other tweed jackets, bow ties, shirts and braces in the TARDIS wardrobe.

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

This Doctor has a fondness for various types of hats:
 * While in the National Museum, the Doctor found a fez which he became very fond of. The fez was later removed by Amy and destroyed by River Song. He sought another fez after this. (DW: The Big Bang, DW: The Impossible Astronaut)
 * The Doctor acquired a Stetson hat from Craig Owens in Closing Time. Its fate is unknown, but he was last seen wearing it inside the Teselecta. (DW: The Wedding of River Song)
 * He has worn a top hat on at least two occasions, once at Amy and Rory's wedding, and once when he had been poisoned by River (DW: Let's Kill Hitler)

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

When travelling with the married couple, the Doctor wore a new tweed jacket with a faint striped pattern, and also a checked shirt with his burgundy bowtie and braces, new black trousers and new boots. He would still vary the design of his shirt and bow tie. While visting Abigail Pettigrew every Christmas Eve, he wore a multitude of different apparel, including a long multicoloured scarf similar to ones worn by his fourth incarnation, a white tuxedo and black bow tie while visting California in 1952, and a fez, which he had previously expressed affection for. (DW: A Christmas Carol)

During his search for Melody Pond and during many adventures afterward, he exchanged his tweed jacket for a dark-green greatcoat. (DW: Let's Kill Hitler, The Girl Who Waited, Closing Time, The Wedding of River Song)

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

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

Behind the scenes

 * The Matt Smith era has more Doctor Who video games than any other Doctor, a total of nine (counting the four Adventure Games).
 * The comic strip The Crimson Hand, published in Doctor Who Magazine from issue 416 in December 2009, was the last strip to feature the tenth incarnation. Similarly, the American comic book publisher, IDW Publishing, announced at the New York Comic Con in February 2009 that it would begin publishing original comic book adventures featuring the eleventh incarnation as of issue 18 of Doctor Who Ongoing, scheduled for publication in December 2010.
 * Benedict Cumberbatch (star of Sherlock, another show by Steven Moffat) was rumoured to have been offered the role of the eleventh incarnation and to have turned down the role. However, he denied this. Coincidentally Matt Smith auditioned for Sherlock for the role of John Watson but was rejected for being "more of a Sherlock Holmes." That audition ended up causing Smith to be a prime candidate for the eleventh incarnation.
 * British tabloid The Sun has reported that the eleventh incarnation's costume would be changed for Matt Smith's second series as the Doctor. The reason for this, the article claims, is that the majority of the series will be filmed in winter months and the tweed jacket isn't warm enough. The article does not specify if the entire costume will be changed or simply a warmer tweed jacket will be found, but language used in the article seemed to indicate the Doctor's "professor-style outfit" will be changed, suggesting the former. However, pictures from the filming of the 2010 Christmas Special revealed that the basic outfit had not changed.
 * While the Eleventh Doctor is the second Doctor to speak in an estuary accent, Matt Smith is the first actor to play the Doctor who actually has a natural estuary accent, as David Tennant's natural accent is Scottish and he faked an estuary accent to play the Doctor.
 * Matt Smith has made several public statements — as on The Jonathan Ross Show and in the question-and-answer session following the New York theatrical premiere of The Eleventh Hour — taking credit for the tweed jacket, braces and bow tie that his incarnation eventually wore. He has also relayed that there was some reluctance from Steven Moffat and other top executives to the bow tie in particular, but that it nevertheless "sat right" with his performance. Smith's influence — according to CON: Call Me the Doctor and a mid-April 2010 appearance on Fox Broadcasting Company's Strategy Room — was the character of Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones, Jr., as he was most often clothed on the campus of Barnett College.
 * When queried about the exact nature of the bow tie, Karen Gillan told the audience of the 2nd April 2010 edition of the CBBC programme, Laugh Out Loud, that Smith's bow tie wasn't a "proper" bow tie, but instead a pre-tied dicky bow. This can be confirmed by carefully watching him put on the tie in The Eleventh Hour, although the action is somewhat obscured by the Atraxi projection.
 * One clothing retailer reported that in the month following the airing of DW: The Eleventh Hour, in which the Doctor declared that "bow ties are cool," its bow tie sales increased by 94%.
