Eleventh Doctor

The Eleventh Doctor is the eleventh incarnation of the Time Lord known as the Doctor. He is currently 907 years old. He is sporadic and very alien compared to his previous incarnation, yet he retains his youthful vigour for defending the Earth.

Regeneration
The Doctor's tenth incarnation regenerated after absorbing a vast amount of radiation. After this, he released a massive amount of energy during regeneration, causing severe damage to his TARDIS. Despite the destruction going on around him inside the TARDIS, the new incarnation's first priority was to do a personal inventory of his body to make sure all the proper parts were in place; in fact, his first words were "Legs! I've still got legs! Good!" after which he kissed one of his knees in relief. He next counted his fingers. The new incarnation was momentarily worried that he had regenerated as female due to having longer hair, until he confirmed the presence of an Adam's apple. He then mentioned "I've had worse" when it came to his nose, seemed unsettled by his chin, and again bemoaned the fact that he was still not ginger; something his previous incarnation had also wanted to be. (DW: The Christmas Invasion)

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

Unlike most of his recent regenerations, the Doctor was not rendered unconscious or otherwise greatly incapacitated after the change. Aside from developing an odd taste in food (see below), the only apparent ill effects included a temporary "steering problem" with his body (he walked into a tree at one point), and the occasional spasm. He also endured being knocked unconscious by a cricket bat. (DW: The Eleventh Hour) It's possible his meal largely helped to settle his regeneration, as evidenced by the urgency with which he sought food that suitably matched his new tastes.

Meeting Amy and saving the world
While the TARDIS was falling and blowing up, the Doctor held onto the edge of the TARDIS and tried to get back in. When he did, another explosion caused the TARDIS to crash in Amelia Pond's garden and the Doctor fell all the way down into the library, along with the pool. The Doctor emerged and asked for an apple. After drying off, the Doctor discovered most of the foods he liked he hates now due to his regeneration changing his taste. The only food he liked was fish fingers dipped in custard. After discovering that the crack in Amelia's bedroom wall was a crack in time and a prison and also noticing a perception filtered door, the Doctor heard the Cloister Bell and ran to the TARDIS to stabilize its engines by making a quick jump into the future. He promised young Amelia that he would return in five minutes. 12 years later, the Doctor materialised the TARDIS and entered Amelia's house and knew where Prisoner Zero was. When he called for Amelia, he was hit with a cricket bat in the face and was cuffed to a radiator. He woke up and discovered a police officer (Amy) and she entered the perception filtered room and retrieved the Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver and encountered Prisoner Zero. After escaping the house, the Doctor discovered the police officer is Amelia (now called Amy) and that the Atraxi would incinerate Earth in 20 minutes. With his sonic screwdriver destroyed, the Doctor figured out a new strategy to save Earth. He used Jeff's laptop to communicate with Patrick Moore, NASA and many other people and created a computer virus from Rory's Blackberry Storm which he used to attract the Atraxi to the hospital where Prisoner Zero was. After calling back the Atraxi and convincing them never to return, the TARDIS key glowed and the Doctor raced to the TARDIS to check out what it looks like. He then made a quick trip to the moon to "run in" the TARDIS, and came back for Amy, two years later, and (unbeknownst to him) the night before her wedding. He offered to take her anytime and anywhere in the Universe and they set off. (DW: The Eleventh Hour)

Adventures with Amy Pond
For their first trip, the Doctor took Amy Pond to the late 32nd century, a time when all the humans had evacuated Earth due to solar flares roasting the planet in the 29th century. They landed on Starship UK, which housed the entirity of the UK like the name suggests. There, the Doctor discovered the ship was running without an engine and was baffled by this. He and Amy discovered that the whole ship was transported by the last Star Whale which was driven through torture methods. The Doctor was then faced with an impossible choice: let the Star Whale continue being tortured or release it thus killing everyone aboard the ship. In the end the Doctor decided to lobotomize the Star Whale, thus killing it as painlessly as possible and allowing the ship to still be intact. Amy soon noticed the similarities between The Doctor and the Star Whale (the kindness and being the last of their kind) and realised that the whale was there of its own accord and freed it from the pain. As they left the ship, Amy was about to tell the Doctor her wedding was to be tomorrow before being interrupted by a phone call from Winston Churchill, who informed the Doctor that he is in need of his help. The Doctor told him they were on their way and the two headed off for World War II London. (DW: The Beast Below).

A new Dalek paragdigm
Arriving in 1941, the Doctor and Amy found Churchill, who had previously met the Doctor (PDA: Players, The Shadow in the Glass). The TARDIS had arrived a month after the Doctor received Winston's call. The reason he called in the first place, was to show him one of his 'Ironsides', which were, in fact, subservient Daleks. They arrived in World War II because after the War in the Medusa Cascade, one of the flagships fell through time, nearly destroyed; only three Daleks survived. They then created an android, who claimed to have created the Daleks. From there, they tried to find the Doctor, so his testimony could activate the Progenitor. Once the Doctor was on the ship, the current leader of the Daleks, a standard bronze Dalek, managed to use the machine to create a league of five new Daleks. They were the Supreme (White), the Strategist (Blue), the Eternal (Yellow), the Scientist (Orange), and the Drone (Red). The five new Daleks destroyed the 'inferior' Daleks, and began to destroy Earth using the android as a bomb. The Doctor managed to deactivate the bomb, but the Daleks escaped, planning their next stratagem (DW: Victory of the Daleks).

Angels and Demons
After arriving in the Delirium Archive in the 171st century, he found a Home Box with the message, "Hello Sweetie" inscribed on it in Old High Gallifreyan, he realized someone on a spaceship 12,000 years ago was trying to attract his attention so he stole the Home Box. Watching the video recorded on the Home Box he found River Song was the one trying to contact him, she told him the coordinates and that she needed an air corridor. After picking her up in space they chased the Starliner Byzantium to the planet it crashed on, Alfava Metraxis the seventh planet of the Dundra system. River Song revealed that on board that ship was a Weeping Angel, among the most deadly forms of life evolution has ever produced. Inside the Aplan's Temple catacombs the Doctor discovered that this maze of the dead was filled with what seemed to be statues and dead bodies in the walls. After they travelled much farther inside up toward the crashed Byzantium the Doctor and River Song noticed the perception filter on the statues, weak and starving Weeping Angels all around them. As the statues begun to awaken due to the Starliner's radiation, the group retreated, ending up beneath the Byzantium. After a Weeping Angel used the voice of one of the dead clerics to taunt him, the Doctor borrowed Octavian's gun and shot the gravity globe. The gravity updraft brought the group to the underside of the Byzantium, where they managed to climb inside and briefly elude the Angels. Contacted by Angel Bob, the Doctor realised that there was a crack in the wall of the Byzantium, which he called "extremely very not good". Cornered by the Angels, he managed to escape by telling them that the Crack's energy would consume them. Reunited with Amy, he discovered that an Angel has invaded the vision centres of her brain, slowly killing her. Instructing her to keep her eyes shut, and leaving her with a number of clerics, the Doctor went with River and Octavian to the flight deck. As River found a way in, Octavian was ambushed by a Weeping Angel. The Doctor, unable to make the Angel release him without turning away, was forced to let it kill Octavian. Once inside the flight deck, the Doctor postulated that the only way to stop the Crack from feeding was to feed it a complicated space-time event such as himself. In the end, however, he allowed the Angels to drain all the ship's power, resulting in the loss of the artificial gravity, causing the Angels to fall into the crack and be erased from existence, at the same time curing Amy. After bidding River farewell, the Doctor was asked by Amy to bring her home, where she revealed to him that she was getting married, and attempted to seduce him. Resisting her advances, the Doctor, having learned earlier that the explosion that caused the cracks was going to happen on her wedding day, realised that sorting her out might be the most important thing in the universe. (DW: The Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone)

Collecting Amy's fiance, Rory, the Doctor took them on a romantic trip to Venice, calling it a "wedding present". However, once there, the group discovered a group of fish-like aliens masquerading as vampires who were attempting to take over the city. Learning from their matriarch, Rosanna, that their world had been destroyed by another crack, and that they had ran from the silence, the Doctor stopped their plans to flood Venice. However, he was unable to stop Rosanna from committing suicide, after she asked him if his conscience could bear the weight of another dead species, and told him to dream of them. As the group departed for the TARDIS, the Doctor and Rory noticed that silence had fallen all around them. (DW: The Vampires of Venice)

The Cracks in Time
While traveling with Amy and Rory the Doctor fell into the traps of the Dream Lord, a mysterious entity, who antagonised the three, by giving them a choice between the current world and a world set in 2015, where Amy and Rory were married and settled down in the quiet town of Upper Leadworth, Rory was the local doctor and Amy was pregnant. After discovering the murder of a group of schoolchildren in the Leadworth scenario and realizing the TARDIS was on a collision course with a cold sun in the other scenario, the Doctor confronted the Dream Lord, telling him he knew his identity and claiming, "There's only one person in the universe who hates me as much as you do". As the crew got colder in the TARDIS, they came under threat from body-snatching Eknodine in Leadworth. The Eknodine managed to kill Rory, who died in front of Amy and the helpless Doctor. Amy realized she had been romanticizing the Doctor while she could not live without Rory, and she crashed a van into her house, killing herself and the Doctor. All three time-travelers awoke in the TARDIS, which the Doctor proceeded to overload and destroy, claiming the Dream Lord had no influence over reality. Once the Dream Lord had been thwarted, the Doctor revealed who he was: the Doctor himself. Psychic pollen had caused the Doctor's negative, dark side to manifest as the Dream Lord, a smug, manipulative man who has a tremendous hatred for the Doctor, reveling in insulting him (bearing several similarities to the Valeyard). As the Doctor started the TARDIS up he looked at the panel and briefly saw the Dream Lord's smirking face, a reminder that he is still inside him somewhere. (DW: Amy's Choice)

Although the Doctor planned to take Amy and Rory to Rio de Janeiro in the year 2020, the TARDIS took them almost 6,000 miles off-course, depositing them in Cwmtaff, Wales. The Doctor decided they should stay and investigate strange patches of blue grass growing in the village and the disappearance of a worker from the drilling station nearby, but within minutes of their arrival, Amy was dragged underground by an unknown menace helping to save geologist Tony Mack from the same fate. Although he was badly shaken at Amy's disappearance, the Doctor quickly surmised that whatever took her must want her alive. When a scan of the crust around Cwmtaff revealed a network of tunnels leading up from deep below 21 kilometers, where the drill had penetrated in head geologist Nasreen Chaudhry's attempt to solve the mystery of the blue grass, and an energy barrier blocked the village off from the outside world, he realized something was coming to the surface. Recruiting Nasreen, Tony, and Tony's daughter Ambrose Northover and grandson Elliot Northover, the Doctor attempted to marshal a defense, but was unable to prevent the attackers from abducting Elliot. He and Rory succeeded in taking a hostage of their own, the warrior Alaya of the long-dormant Silurian race. Although Alaya informed him during interrogation that she planned to wipe the human species from the planet for the offense of taking over the Earth's surface and inadvertently reawakening her people from dormancy with Chaudhry's drill, the Doctor explained to Nasreen, Ambrose, Tony, and Rory that the Silurians are not a bad species and told them he planned to travel underground and negotiate the exchange of Alaya for Amy, Elliot, and Elliot's father Mo. He warned that they must demonstrate their decency as ambassadors of the human race and refrain from hurting or killing their antagonistic hostage. Nasreen elected to join the Doctor in the TARDIS, which was pulled underground into a subterranean cavern deep in the Earth's crust, where they happened upon a sprawling Silurian city. The Doctor was shocked that Alaya's tribe appeared so vast and apparently intact after hundreds of millions of years spent dormant below the surface. The Doctor and Nasreen were captured by Silurian soldiers lead by Alaya's sister Restac and taken first to a laboratory of the scientist Malokeh where he was nearly killed during a 'decontamination' process, then to the Silurian court where after a failed rescue attempt by Amy and Mo, Restac threatened to kill them all should Alaya not be returned safely. The firing squad of soldiers were about to dispatch the Doctor and his friends when Silurian leader Eldane arrived and ordered they stand down. The Doctor then left Eldane, Nasreen and Amy to discuss the possibility of Human-Silurian co-habitation of the planet while he and Mo retrieved Elliot and Rory, Ambrose and Tony descended underground. Despite his efforts to broker peace, Ambrose killed Alaya which helped prompt an insurrection by Restac. Eldane helped the Doctor and his companions escape to the TARDIS by forcing the Silurians back into stasis using an emergency poison gas mechanism. Nasreen remained behind with Tony who was mutating in some way due to Silurian venom. Before Amy, Rory and the Doctor could get safely into the TARDIS, a 'crack' appeared in the cavern wall next to it. The Doctor, overcome by his curiosity, decided to reach into it and pulled out a piece of 'shrapnel' from the unknown explosion which had caused the crack. Unseen, a dying Restac crawled out of a passage and fired her weapon at the Doctor, however Rory pushed him out of the way and took the blow. Rory died and was consumed by the time field emanating from the crack. The Doctor forced a distraught Amy into the TARDIS and despite his best efforts, she forgot Rory as he was erased from history. The 'shrapnel' was revealed to apparently be a burnt fragment of the TARDIS (DW: The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood).

While Amy did not remember Rory, perhaps out of guilt the Doctor took her to several peaceful and beautiful places like the 'Trojan Gardens' and 'Arcadia.' He then took her to an exhibition of Vincent van Gogh's most famous works held at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, 2010. While there the Doctor noticed a mysterious 'evil' face peering from the window of the Church at Auvers in Vincent's painting of the same name. After inquiring about the date it was painted of the curator Dr Black, the Doctor decided to go back to June, 1890 to find van Gogh (less than a year prior to his suicide) and determine what he had seen. They found the artist being thrown out of a local café because he could not pay for his wine which he had been attempting to barter a self-portrait for. After introductions the Doctor and Amy invited themselves to stay the night in his quarters, to which he grudgingly agreed. On the way to his home they happened into an apparent murder scene where a young girl's mauled body had been found on the street. The townspeople mobbed the trio, blaming the tragedy upon Vincent's presence as a 'madman.' Later that night Amy was attacked by an invisible monster which Vincent alone could see. The Doctor and Amy were amazed at the clutter of masterpieces they found in van Gogh's rooms, which he did not appear to treat with any regard, thus he swiftly painted over a still-life to their chagrin when the Doctor requested he sketch the monster. The Doctor took the canvas back to the TARDIS and attempted to identify it using a contraption with a mirror. He had no luck then but the next day identified it as an alien being, a Krafayis, and encouraged Vincent to paint the Church assuming the monster would come. Despite being temporarily debilitated by an attack of depression at the prospect of being alone, Vincent agreed and they go to await the Krafayis which does come that night. After battling it with great difficulty in the Church, the trio discovered it was blind and afraid however Vincent inadvertently killed it with his easel in self-defence and was very regretful, seeing a correlation between the misunderstood 'monster' and himself. The next day the three friends prepared to say goodbye, despite Vincent light-heartedly attempting to convince Amy to stay and marry him. The Doctor decided to take Vincent to see his exhibition in 2010 as an attempt to assure him he would become loved and remembered as one of the world's greatest artists. He is overcome with emotion and the Doctor left him back in 1890 seemingly resolved to have a brighter outlook on his life and future. Amy believed they may have had a lasting impact on him and they returned to the exhibition where she hoped to see he lived to have a long and productive career but found he still killed himself at the same time. Knowingly, the Doctor consoled her and attempted to explain that the sadness and bad in life does not detract from the good, implying they did enrich his existence but ultimately could not heal his spirit. It is revealed that Vincent dedicated his Vase with Twelve Sunflowers to Amy, who had encouraged him to paint them. (DW: Vincent and the Doctor)

The Doctor is left behind when the TARDIS dematerialises in a park in Colchester, with Amy still inside. The Doctor went to a flat that belonged to a man called Craig Owens who had advertised a room for rent (the Doctor's doing), to solve the mystery of something on the top floor interfering with the TARDIS's ability to land and luring people up where they disappear. Craig let him stay and the Doctor tried to act like a normal human with the help of Amy using a earpiece to communicate with her while he in turn helped Amy work the TARDIS. Within a few days the Doctor began to impose on and change Craig's boring, if secure life so Craig told the Doctor to leave. The Doctor protested and showed Craig who he really was by banging his head on Craig's head twice. Craig's friend whom he had long been secretly in love with Sophie went upstairs to discover a TARDIS-like control room of a space ship on the top floor. The ship's holographic computer program had been attempting to find a suitable pilot for the craft, but the brains of the humans it lured in were insufficient and they were burned up. Sophie almost got pulled in to the console to meet the same fate but the Doctor and Craig saved her. The Doctor began to get pulled in, being the suitable pilot the computer had been searching for but in fact too powerful, realizing that the computer only targeted people who 'wanted to leave.' He convinced Craig to touch the console and think about what was keeping him there, which was Sophie. Craig and Sohpie admitted they loved each other then kissed and the ship began to implode. They all got out of the building to find out there was never a second floor, it was a perception filter. The Doctor said his farewells to his new friends and returned to the TARDIS, asking Amy to find a red pen and write a note for him that would lead his past self to Craig's flat but she found her engagement ring from Rory in his jacket pocket. (DW: The Lodger)

Personality
At first glance, the Eleventh Doctor is highly energetic and very lively, much like his predecessors with additional liveliness coming from his post-regenerative period. He is extremely brash and unafraid to show his eccentricities, appearing to act alien. He is also easily agitated when people or objects do not do as he wishes them to, and will resort to physical confrontation and somewhat reckless behavior to achieve his goals. He has, like a number of his other incarnations, fantastic leadership qualities. Much like his ninth and  tenth incarnations, he also has a large amount of knowledge of Earth slang and colloquialism as he is aware of Facebook, Twitter and Bebo. He appears to have remembered a few of his predecessor's catchphrases, such as "Fantastic!", "There's been some cowboys in here", and repetition of the word "What!". He is extremely resourceful and quick thinking, able to spin things to his point of view, and can find positive outlooks in negative situations. He is somewhat more melodramatic in his brilliance, going so far as to prove Fermat's last theorem, faster-than-light travel and why electrons have mass just to prove he could be trusted. When thinking about a problem, he blocks out all outside distractions, to the point where he tells Amy "you're dying, shut up" so that he can solely concentrate on working out how to save her from dying. (DW: Flesh and Stone) He also remarks about how he saved the world "for about the millionth time". (DW: The Eleventh Hour).

Much like the Second Doctor, this Doctor shows a childlike recklessness but always has a grander scheme behind his actions. Also similar to his second incarnation, the Eleventh has a knack for acting smug, occasionally boasting about his feats, knowledge, and reputation.

This Doctor also has a more serious side to his character. He shows little tolerance for dire mistakes and being belittled by others; he likely does not give second chances. He often takes his frustrations out on others by exploding with anger and coldness. (DW: The Beast Below, Flesh and Stone, Amy's Choice) He even threatened to leave Amy back at her home after one mistake. (DW: The Beast Below) He is also more prone to violent actions and sometimes uses them as his first option to achieve his goals: he repeatedly attacked a Dalek with a spanner in order to provoke it into showing its true nature and immediately struck Dr. Bracewell in order to incapacitate his detonation. (DW: Victory of the Daleks) This Doctor 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)

The Eleventh Doctor shares many (but much milder) traits of the Sixth Doctor such as the solemn nature of this Doctor when not being taken seriously and the belittling of humans. Also reminiscent of the Sixth Doctor, this Doctor seems to be less interested in his companions than his previous incarnation was, even ignoring them when busy with his work. He also largely prefers his companions to follow his instructions but usually falls back to his previous incarnation's habit of letting his companions try their own plans. He scolded Amy for her initial refusal to go back to the TARDIS with Rory while he tries to stop the Saturnynian's plan. (DW: The Vampires of Venice) Unlike his previous incarnation, this Doctor seems slightly annoyed with River Song instead of enjoying her company, as he cannot stand the fact that River knows more about the Doctor's future than he does, and resents her apparently superior control of the TARDIS (Although he notes that her actions simply make the journey boring). He is also mildly callous like his sixth and ninth incarnations; he doesn't believe in using white lies nor does he dabble around with the truth like his tenth incarnation. He is straight to the point and does not beat around the bush, no matter how bad the situation is. He held up an awestruck Rory by his collar in order to stop him from babbling and get information out of him quickly (DW: The Eleventh Hour), calmly told Amy that she was on the verge of dying despite River Song's attempt to calm her by lying (DW: Flesh and Stone), and casually explained that even if the TARDIS fell into a threatening cold star, it wouldn't matter because everyone inside would have already frozen to death. (DW: Amy's Choice) Also like his sixth incarnation, this Doctor occasionally badly misjudges people. Similar to how the Sixth Doctor misjudged Lytton, the Eleventh Doctor stated he wished he'd known Father Octavian better right before he is killed by a Weeping Angel. (DW: Flesh and Stone)

The Eleventh Doctor's more extreme emotional moments seem linked to making hard choices and the potential that innocents may suffer and die as a result of them. When it appears he must lobotomise the Star Whale in order to save it more pain, he seems disgusted with the situation and himself, he remarks that he will have to change his name "because I won't be the Doctor anymore" (DW: The Beast Below)

Much like his fourth, sixth, and ninth incarnation, this Doctor was much more outwardly alien and wasn't as in touch with humanity as his fifth, eighth and previous incarnation were. The Eleventh believes that a human's ability to feel pain and suffering defines their humanity. (DW: Victory of the Daleks) He also was unable to comfort an upset Vincent Van Gogh. (DW: Vincent and the Doctor)  The Eleventh is also aware of the flaws humans have and reminds them of those flaws, a trait his ninth incarnation had. He seems to suggest that he sees humans as beneath him. When speaking with Father Octavian about Alfava Metraxis he compares humans to rabbits and claims he'll "never get done saving you." (DW: The Time of Angels) When Amy suddenly forces herself upon the Doctor and kisses him he immediately responds with "But you're human!". (DW: Flesh and Stone) The Eleventh Doctor still shows a deep respect for humanity, calling them an "extraordinary species" and telling Alaya that it dangerous to underestimate them (DW:The Hungry Earth), subsequently allowing Amy and Nasreen to represent humanity in the 'debate' with the Silurian elder to find a common ground for both species rather than representing humanity himself (DW: Cold Blood).

The Eleventh Doctor has shown a dislike of war and the use of weaponry, at least for violent means. He fired a gun to detonate a gravity globe and expressed no displeasure against weapons being used on the Weeping Angels, though this could have been because the weapons clearly had no effect on them. (DW:The Time of Angels) However, he became almost threatening when Ambrose Northover suggested they use weapons against the Silurians, claiming "It's not how I do things" then as she protested telling her firmly with a small smile "You're better than this, I'm asking nicely, put them away." Later he tells Alaya that there is a "peace to be brokered" and that he won't let her provoke a war. (DW:The Hungry Earth) While posing as a normal human being, the Doctor played football on Craig Owens team and was disgusted and became threatening when one of Craig's friends asked him if he will help "annihilate" the other team. However the Doctor soon realised that Craig's friend meant simply beat the other team at a football game. (DW: The Lodger)



The Eleventh Doctor has also shown a tendency to refer to Amy by her surname, much as his first incarnation did with Ian Chesterton. Also similar to his first incarnation, this Doctor wasn't keen on hiding his emotions, usually making his anger obvious through violent actions and tone of speech. However, unlike his previous incarnation, he seemed unable to respond well in a romantic situation with Amy Pond. (DW: Flesh and Stone) Despite this awkwardness in response to an attempted seduction, the Eleventh Doctor does show an ability to be affectionate and comforting with Amy, such as when he kisses her on the forehead (DW:Victory of the Daleks, Flesh and Stone) and holds her hand (DW:Amy's Choice)

Habits and Quirks
This Doctor can tell how old something is by taste which was a trademark of the Fifth and Tenth Doctors. He is often late, for example arriving twelve years later than he intended (DW: The Eleventh Hour), like his fifth, ninth and tenth incarnations. He also appears to have incredibly good eyesight as well as an eidetic memory, and is able to scan an entire scene and pick up little details. He implores others to observe every detail in an area and make brilliant deductions from doing so.

He also has shown a penchant for talking with his hands, being able to calculate a situation with hand gestures. While trying to understand The Cracks appearing in the Byzantium and what it could mean, he made a circular gesture as if he was forming a clock then erasing it. (DW: Flesh and Stone) He also shapes out a large nose with his hands when referring to Rory Williams, whom he has a habit of patting chummily on the face.

Like his tenth incarnation's fondness for bananas and little gift shops, this Doctor is fond of bow ties.

Much like his tenth persona, this Doctor has horrible social skills. Even going into detail about his encounter with Amy at Rory's Bachelor party (DW: The Vampires of Venice), and often interrupting himself (and others) to tell someone to "shut up!" Also, this Doctor is frequently out-done verbally by Amy, to the point of becoming flustered at some of her wittier remarks. He also has a habit of making various subtle lighthearted innuendos with Rory (DW: The Vampires of Venice, Amy's Choice) but ends up clueless when Amy tries to flirt with him. (DW: Flesh and Stone)

He also has a habit of rambling, making rapid amendments to his speech, to the point where it seems like he is talking nonsense. (DW: The Time of Angels, The Vampires of Venice)

A habit that seemed to mildly disturb the Doctor when Amy pointed it out to him was his propensity for tasting things in order to determine their chemical and mineral composition. This ability recalled one he displayed in the early days of his tenth life. (DW: The Christmas Invasion, Tooth and Claw, The Idiot's Lantern) Once, when Amy asked him if he'd always "been this disgusting," he replied, "No, that's... recent." (DW: The Hungry Earth)

Frequently, this Doctor has asked his companions and others to trust him before he begins any plan. This Doctor has also frequently hushed others while he tries to think. Before the Eleventh Doctor points at someone or something, he usually clicks his fingers and then points. When he walks somewhere at a pace, he usually walks with his head looking at the ground. He also displays a preference for sitting down casually and nonchalantly with leg crossed (appearing quite comfortable and in control) during 'crisis' or tense situations, something he alludes to with a reference to the "comfy chairs" in the Byzantium starship (DW: Flesh and Stone). This Doctor has displayed a penchant for unexpectedly pulling miscellaneous objects out of his jacket when needed (perhaps from a dimensionally transcendent pocket, see section on clothing below), akin to his fourth and tenth incarnations. These items have included:
 * A magnifying glass (DW: The Beast Below)
 * A Jammie Dodger biscuit (DW: Victory of the Daleks)
 * A library card (DW: The Vampires of Venice)
 * A large UV light wand (DW: The Vampires of Venice)
 * A red and yellow rubber ball (DW: Amy's Choice)
 * A pair of binoculars (DW: The Hungry Earth)
 * A slingshot (DW: The Hungry Earth)
 * A pair of infrared thermal imaging sunglasses (DW: The Hungry Earth)
 * A red handkerchief with white polka dots (DW: Cold Blood)

Unlike his previous self, the Doctor has shown only limited use of his telepathic powers, once apparently using them to influence Amy's 'dream' of her younger self joining him so that she dreamed of Prisoner Zero's true form- although this may have been influenced by him speaking to her rather than any telepathic ability- (DW: The Eleventh Hour), and on another occasion he filled Craig Owens in on his true past by head-butting him to apparently 'force' his memories into Craig's head, although this experience is apparently disorientating to both (He may have done it in this manner due to a lack of time for more subtle measures) (DW: The Lodger).

Clothes
For most of his first adventure, the Doctor wore the tattered clothes of his previous incarnation from just before he regenerated. Like his third and eighth incarnations, (DW: Spearhead from Space, Doctor Who) he stole his clothing from the staff room of a hospital. Unlike the previous occasions, however, this particular theft, was at least meekly protested by one of that hospital's staff.

The Doctor's primary outfit consisted of a brown tweed jacket with elbow patches, a fashionable shirt, a bow tie, red braces, a gold wrist watch, rolled up trousers and black boots. (DW: The Eleventh Hour) He would later vary the colour of the shirt, bow tie and braces from maroon to teal. The tweed jacket seems to have pockets which are bigger on the inside, as the Doctor was able to produce a large UV lamp from his inside pocket. (DW: The Vampires of Venice). He also managed to put a large piece of the TARDIS, which may have broken off in the explosion which caused the cracks, into his pocket, (DW: Cold Blood) as well as Amy Pond's engagement ring. (DW: The Lodger)

His second jacket was checked in design which he wore in Victory of the Daleks, The Time of Angels, and Flesh and Stone, though lost it in the last of these three episodes. After that he resumed wearing his first jacket, plain in design, from The Vampires of Venice onwards. At one point in Flesh and Stone, after having lost his second jacket, he was seen to be wearing his first jacket, as well as wearing a black wristwatch instead of his gold one. This has lead to the theory that this was the Doctor from the future who came back in time to talk to Amy.
 * 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 Doctor 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 The Eleventh Hour'', although the action is somewhat obscured by the Atraxi projection.

TARDIS
As a result of the damage caused by his tenth regeneration, the Doctor's TARDIS seemed to regenerate itself. While its interior radically changed, the exterior was also slightly affected. Most noticeably, the right exterior door was again emblazoned with a St. John Ambulance symbol, as it had been on his initial incarnation's TARDIS. The light on the roof also once again resembles a fresnel navigation lamp, the blue is brighter and the windows have changed to include white borders around the glass panels and alternating frosting on the bottom panes. The exterior configuration is similar to the TARDIS the First Doctor used.

At some point before taking on Amy Pond as a full-time companion, the Doctor threw his much-abused TARDIS manual into a supernova. He later justified the move by saying he "disagreed with it". (DW: Amy's Choice)
