Eleventh Doctor

The Eleventh Doctor was the eleventh incarnation of the renegade 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 eventually 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 realise the TARDIS was on fire and about to crash. Upon realizing this, he 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
Crashing on Earth, the Doctor met Amelia Pond, a lonely little Scottish girl with a mysterious crack in her bedroom wall. Investigating the crack, he learned an alien called Prisoner Zero had escaped from a prison on the other side of the crack. Before the Doctor could investigate further, the cloister bell brought him back to the TARDIS, 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 ended up arriving twelve years in the future. Upon being detained by a now bitter Amelia, who is now a young woman calling herself "Amy", the Doctor learned that his encounter with her in her childhood had affected her life. Nonetheless, the Doctor managed to persude her to help him capture Prisoner Zero for the Atraxi, the alternative being Earth's incineration by the Atraxi. After detaining Prisoner Zero, and stealing a new outfit, the Doctor decided 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. He agreed 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 unintended cruelty of the Starship's inhabitants. While preparing to leave Starship UK, the Doctor got a phone call from Winston Churchill. 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. (DWAN: 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 ordered them to return to their home planet. (DWAN: Madness on the M1!)

Meeting up with River Song for the 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 her 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 caused 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. He 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 used 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 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, deactivated 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 had 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. 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 his money, giving it to his ex-slaves. (DWAN: Winning Hand) The Doctor returned books to the Library, where they encountered Book Monsters. Amy and he discovered they needed to feed the the Book Monsters stories, and they were saved by telling them a story about Space Wolves and Sky Sheep. (DWAN: Booked Up) After this, he solved the problem of the TARDIS' arrival sound annoying the inhabitants by muffling the noise with a fire extinguisher. (DWAN: 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. (DW: The Lodger)

Restarting the Universe
While visiting Planet One, the Doctor discovered a message from River Song that led Amy and him to Britain 102 A.D. to meet up with her. River told him that Vincent had drawn a premonition of the TARDIS exploding and given it the title "The Pandorica Opens". This led him to Stonehenge, where an alliance of alien species 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 immediately released from the Pandorica by an Auton copy of Rory, on orders from the Doctor's future self to set up a series of paradoxical events that led to this. The Doctor used River's vortex manipulator to travel nearly two thousand years into the future, After a confrontation with an echo of a Dalek, he wired himself into the Pandorica to restart the universe using its restoration field powered by the exploding TARDIS. The Doctor piloted the Pandorica into the explosion and found himself a week in his past; his time stream was unraveling. 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 received 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 rogue branch of the Claw Shansheeth. They left him trapped in the wasteland of the Crimson Heart. The Shansheeth announced the Doctor was dead and held a funeral for him. They planned 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 travelled to Earth using residule Artron energy Clyde Langer had absorbed from the TARDIS in their previous encouter and defeated the Shansheeth with the help of Jo, Sarah and Sarah's companions. (SJA: Death of the Doctor)

The Doctor met Kazran Sardick, a man who refused to help him save Amy, Rory and four thousand one others trapped on a crashing starliner. The Doctor 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 for most of his plan, the Doctor succeeded after showing child Kazaran the cruel person he would become. This allowed the Doctor to make the elder Kazran a better man and save his friends. The Doctor began thinking of other Honeymoon locations for Amy and Rory to visit. (DW: A Christmas Carol)

After Rory accidentally caused it to falter, the Doctor's TARDIS materialised within itself. The Doctor at first thought they were trapped for eternity in the TARDIS, but he soon found that the outer shell of the TARDIS let one enter a small amount of time into the TARDIS's past. Using the time differences, the Doctor was able to fix the space loop by telling himself what to do. (DW: Space / Time)

First encounter with the Silence
Some time after Amy and Rory's wedding, the Doctor, traveling by himself, received an anonymous invitation leading him to an American diner in 2011; there 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 Doctor reluctantly agreed to find the fourth invitee, Canton Delaware in 1969. He found Delaware being consulted by US President Richard Nixon 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 had interned the Doctor at Area 51 while he pretended to hunt down Amy, Rory and River. Reunited with his friends, 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 order in the minds of every human who would ever 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 avoid walking the plank, the Doctor learned that the pirates were being terrorised by a "Siren". After the whole crew and Rory had been taken by the Siren, it turned out she was a virtual physician from an invisible and intangible spaceship that occupied the same space as the Fancy.Tthe Fancy's crew took 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 on a sentient planetoid known as House in a bubble universe. 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. The Doctor learned he had not stolen his TARDIS by chance; it had wanted to leave Gallifrey as much as he did. (DW: The Doctor's Wife)

The Doctor and his companions crash-landed in the 22nd century when a solar tsunami struck the TARDIS. They found a factory mining acid, and were captured by the factory's workers for trespassing. Miranda Cleaves, the factory's boss, showed the 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 storm allowed the Gangers to function on their own. The Doctor saw no difference between Ganger and human. He tried to bring them together in peace, but each party wished to destroy the other, prompting him to try preventing genocide While hiding from hostile Ganger in the factory, the Doctor met a Ganger of himself. (DW: The Rebel Flesh) He got along well with his copy. To see if Amy could get along with his double, the Doctor and his Ganger switched their shoes, the only way to distinguish them. The Doctor's plan nearly backfired when the workers treated him poorly. After winning the other Gangers over, the Doctor tried to evacuate everyone from the soon-to-explode island. However, Jennifer Lucas' ganger tried to kill them. The Doctor left his Ganger to revert the Flesh at the cost of his own life. After setting up a conference for Ganger rights, the Doctor revealed the Amy with him and Rory was not actually her. 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 spent a month collecting on old debts owed to him by people of various races and times, 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 four minutes. However, this ended up being a trap set by Madame Kovarian, who escaped with the real Melody after dissolving the Ganger she had left in her place. River appeared and revealed herself as Melody Pond. With his hope renewed, the Doctor left to find and save her from Kovarian while River returned his friends to their proper times. (DW: A Good Man Goes to War) After Amy and Rory waited "all summer", the Doctor, unsuccessful in finding Melody, noticed a newspaper showing a "crop circle" of his name. He found Amy and Rory waiting for him. Amy and Rory's childhood friend Mels, at gunpoint, demanded the Doctor take her to kill Adolf Hitler. 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, into a body 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 dealing with a hologram of young Amelia, the Doctor tried to reason with the crew of the Teselecta to leave River alone instead of capturing her. 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 left River in the "best hospital" in the universe to be treated, leaving her a notebook to begin recording their adventures. Unbeknownst to his companions, the Doctor learned of his 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. However, this lead to him being miniturized and sucked into a doll house in the cupboard with George's father Alex. The doll house was inhabited by Peg Dolls, which had turned Amy into one of them while chasing Rory. Putting the pieces together, the Doctor realized 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, but they were now out of control. The Doctor encouraged George to face his fears and escaped the doll house with Amy, Rory, and Alex once he did so. (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. The Doctor once again faced Rory's rage, but this time it was because he felt he was becoming too much like the Doctor when it came down to difficult decsions. (DW: The Girl Who Waited)

Good-byes
The Doctor was puzzled to see the TARDIS arrive in an alien structure based on a 1980s Earth hotel. He found an imprisoned creature feeding off the faith of those trapped with it after they found the room that contained their greatest fear. The Doctor found his room, but kept quiet about it. He failed to save most of the others trapped with them and found Amy was next on the creature's menu as her faith in him was strong. To save her, the Doctor broke Amy's childish faith in her "Raggedy Doctor". This allowed the creature to die as it longed wished. Seeing that his travels were becoming too dangerous for Amy and Rory, the Doctor decided to leave them back home with a luxurious car Rory had longed for a parting gift. (DW: The God Complex)

Some time after leaving Amy and Rory, knowing his death was an imminent and fixed point in time, the Doctor began a "farewell tour," which lasted nearly two hundred years. He participated in many events at this time, "waving" at Amy and Rory throughout history. Some of these escapades included being painted and then imprisoned in the Tower of London, only to escape via a hot air balloon, taking part in a breakout from a World War II POW camp, but quickly being recaptured, and appearing in a Laurel and Hardy film as an extra. The Doctor also had a variety of adventures with River Song, including travelling to Easter Island, where he was worshipped as a god, and meeting "Jim the Fish". The Doctor also seemed to stay in contact with "Jim". When asked about him, he said that he was still "building his dam." (DW: The Impossible Astronaut)

At the end of this period, the Doctor paid a social call on Craig Owens and discovered Craig and Sophie had had a son named Alfie. The Doctor noticed power fluctuations consistent with teleportation energy and, along with Craig, discovered six Cybermen rebuilding their ranks by converting kidnapped people with spare parts and using Cybermats to drain the city's power. Although Craig was almost converted into their new Cyber-Controller, the Doctor watched as Craig's "love" to protect his son caused the Cybermen to begin overloading and the conversion repeled. The Doctor then used the last of his free time to repair damages to Craig's home caused by a Cybermat he attempted to use against the Cybermen. He also took some TARDIS colored envelopes and said his last goodbye. As he walked towards the TARDIS, he saw three children and briefly spoke to them. At the Luna University, in the 51st century, River would read that the Doctor seemed "happy, but sad." (DW: Closing Time)

Cheating Death
Before going to his death, the Doctor wanted to know why his death had been orchestrated. This eventually led him to encounter Father Gideon Vandaleur, a known Silence agent. The Doctor knew it was the Teselecta. Using information from the Teselecta, the Doctor met Gantok, another Silence agent, who took him to the head of Dorium Maldovar. From Dorium, the Doctor learned the Silence wanted him dead because they feared the Doctor's future, especially should he arrive at Trenzalore, where every question must be answered truthfully. They feared he would answer a question they believed only he knew the answer to. After the Doctor asked the crew of the Teselecta to deliver letters to those who would witness his death, the captain of the Teselecta asked if there was anything he could do to help. The Doctor accepted and had the Teselecta miniaturize him and the TARDIS inside of it and take on his appearance. At Lake Silencio, Utah, on April 22, 2011 at 5:02 PM, someone in an astronaut suit emerged from the lake. The Doctor, in control of the Teselecta, approached River and told her that she was forgiven. River, not wanting to kill him, broke the astronaut suit's control over her, and emptied the suit's weapon system, instead of shooting him. This caused every time period to happen all 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 resistance, Area 52, the Doctor met River and told her that the only way to set things right and let the 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, of course" to her message: "The Doctor is dying, please, please, help".

The Doctor took off his bow tie 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, River Song kissed the Doctor and married him. Time then reverted 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. Following his fake funeral. The Doctor and his TARDIS returned to normal size once outside the confines of the Teselecta's compression field.

Shortly after his "death", River paid Amy and Rory a visit following the events at the Byzantium and told them the truth. She remained in Stormcage to serve her sentence for murder so the Silence would believe that the Doctor was dead. The Doctor returned Dorium's head to the Seventh Transept, where he told his decapitated friend that now he was "dead" it was time to step back into the shadows as he had gotten "too big, too noisy". He claimed that while River might spend her days in prison, her nights would be spent with him-he then left satisfied that he had escaped his death, (DW: The Wedding of River Song)

Personality
The eleventh incarnation was highly energetic and very lively. He was brash and eccentric, appearing very 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 liked to have those around him focus on the positives that would come if they survived. (DW: A Christmas Carol)

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

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

This incarnation also arrogant, 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 to 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 trying to use weapons against the Silurians. (DW: The Hungry Earth, Cold Blood) However, he could be ruthless if necessary. (DW: A Christmas Carol, Day of the Moon)

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

This incarnation seemed have resolved much of the survivor's guilt of his ninth and tenth incarnations, referring to the Last Great Time War as a "bad day". (DW: The Beast Below) 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) In the bubble universe, the Doctor was given a ray of hope that he might not be the last of his race. When he discovered that he was indeed the very last Time Lord, he began to cry. (DW: The Doctor's Wife)

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

Despite being defensive of his sonic screwdriver's faults, this incarnation admitted that he had to find some way of getting the sonic to affect wood as it had been useless once in his previous life and twice in this one. (DW: The Hungry Earth, Night Terrors)

He believed in solving problems backwards. If someone tried to kill him, he would use clues from it to derive why they wished to do so. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut)

While initially shocked by River Song's romantic advances, (DW: Day of the Moon) he later appeared to enjoy them. 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 should disapprove of it. (DW: Day of the Moon) When, the Doctor married her, he kissed her 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 the same. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, The Beast Below, A Christmas Carol) His powers of observation 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 had a penchant for talking with his hands, and calculated 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 new taste buds, the Doctor showed 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)

In this incarnation, the Doctor grew fond of hats. Such hats included a fez (DW: The Big Bang, Death is the Only Answer) and a Stetson. (DW: The Impossible Astronaut, Closing Time) 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 repetititon of the word "What" when confused, the Eleventh Doctor would repeat "No" if something went horribly wrong, or say it as a warning to prevent death of an important figure in history. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, Victory of the Daleks, Vincent and the Doctor, Night Terrors, The Wedding of River Song )

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

He also didn't mind River carrying a gun and shooting his foes, which was a big issue in his previous life. (DW: The Big Bang, Day of the Moon) He did take offense when River shot off his hats. (DW: The Big Bang, The Impossible Astronaut)

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, the Doctor would demand they return to the TARDIS or leave them in the safest place possible. At times, he would trick them into doing so 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, Day of the Moon) 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; 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 when 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 chose 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 to have a conversation with himself (of the same incarnation), which was mutually interesting to himself and his double. (DW: The Almost People) Despite his dislike of looking back on his previous lives, the eleventh was perfectly comfortable with 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 he did not believe he was a good man as he has many rules and "good men don't need rules". (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) He would go on about how he could be vain and cause people harm (DW: Closing Time) River Song tried to convince him the universe still needed him, though he thought otherwise. (DW: The Wedding of River Song)

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 (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 wore a top hat at least twice, 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 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 wore 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%.
