Eleventh Doctor

The Eleventh Doctor was the eleventh incarnation of the Time Lord known as the Doctor. He was erratic in behaviour and very alien compared to his previous incarnation, yet he retained his youthful vigour for defending the universe.

Regeneration
The Doctor's tenth incarnation regenerated after absorbing a vast amount of radiation. 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. He again moaned that he was still not ginger, something his previous incarnation had also wanted to be. (DW: The Christmas Invasion, NSA: Shining Darkness)

Slightly addled by the regeneration, the new incarnation 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)

Meeting Amy
The Doctor could not control the TARDIS, which crashed in Amelia Pond's garden. The Doctor emerged and ate fish-fingers and custard with Amelia Pond. The Doctor then heard the cloister bell and left in the TARDIS and promised young Amelia that he would return in five minutes. 12 years later, the Doctor materialized the TARDIS and entered Amelia's house and saved Earth from Prisoner Zero and the Atraxi, the TARDIS key then alerted the Doctor to the TARDIS's reconstruction being completed. He then made a quick trip to the moon to "run in" the TARDIS. He returned for Amy, two years later, and, unknown to him, the night before her wedding. (DW: The Eleventh Hour)

Adventures 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 unintentional cruelty of the inhabitants of the Starship. When preparing to leave Starship UK, the Doctor got a phone call from Winston Churchill after which the Doctor and Amy headed off for World War II London. (DW: The Beast Below)

Arriving during WWII, the Doctor and Amy met Churchill, who had previously met the Doctor. (PDA: Players, The Shadow in the Glass) There the Doctor discovered two Daleks that had survived the Medusa Cascade incident. They had then created an android, Edwin Bracewell, who claimed to have created the Daleks, and used him to infiltrate Churchill's bunker and get a testimony from the Doctor. They activated a progenitor, creating a new generation of pure Daleks. The five new Daleks destroyed the 'inferior' Daleks, and attempted to destroy Earth using Bracewell as a bomb. The Doctor managed to deactivate the bomb, but the Daleks escaped, planning their next stratagem. (DW: Victory of the Daleks)

Intending to watch London from Primrose Hill, a boy called Stephen appeared in the TARDIS, ruining his plans. Stephen told the Doctor and Amy about Space Leeches attacking everyone in London. The Doctor realised why they had not attacked Stephen: he had a cold, which prevented him from being possessed by them. The Doctor made the cold super infectious using his sonic screwdriver, while Amy and Stephen touched everyone in London, freeing them from the Leeches. He then led the Leeches to the TARDIS to take them to another planet. (DWA: Attack of the Space Leeches!)

The Doctor and Amy then 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!)

After arriving in the Delirium Archive in the 171st century, the Doctor found a Home Box with a message from River Song, trying to contact him. He rescued her and they chased a ship, the Byzantium. It crashed on, Alfava Metraxis the seventh planet of the Dundra system, where River Song revealed there was a Weeping Angel on board. The Doctor defeated the Angel and its army by throwing them into a crack in time. 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 sought out Amy's fiancé (DW: The Time of Angels / Flesh and Stone)

Collecting Amy's fiancé, Rory, the Doctor took the couple to Venice, calling it a "wedding present". Once there, they discovered a group of fish-like aliens masquerading as vampires, led by Rosanna Calvierri, who were attempting to flood Venice. The Doctor managed to foil their plans and as the group departed for the TARDIS, the Doctor and Rory noticed that silence had fallen all around them. (DW: The Vampires of Venice)

While travelling with Amy and Rory the Doctor fell into the traps of the Dream Lord, a mysterious entity, who antagonized the three, by giving them a choice between a dream and the real world. After dying in both "realities" all three time-travellers awoke in the TARDIS, the Doctor revealed the Dream Lord was the Doctor's dark side and that the Dream Lord was created from Psychic pollen. As the Doctor started the TARDIS, he briefly saw the Dream Lord's smirking face on the console, a reminder that he was 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 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 when 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 then tried to help Amy to remember Rory before he was erased from history, a task that he failed in completing. (DW: The Hungry Earth / Cold Blood)

Out of guilt, the Doctor took Amy to visit Vincent van Gogh, where they found that his village was being attacked by a Krafayis, a beast that only Vincent could see. The Doctor and Vincent's battle with the Krafayis ultimatley resulted in the creature's death, which troubled Vincent deeply. (DW: Vincent and the Doctor)

The Doctor and Amy encountered Hubert Crimp, a slave trader, at the Trans-Vegas Casino, where they freed all of his slaves and won all of his money, giving it to his slaves as compensation. (DWA : Winning Hand) The Doctor then returned his books to the Library, where they encountered Book Monsters. They discovered that they needed to feed them stories, and they were saved by telling them a story about Space Wolves and Sky Sheep. (DWA: Booked Up) He then solved the problem of the TARDIS' arrival sound annoying the inhabitants by muffling the sound with a fire extinguisher. (DWA: Bad Vibrations)

The Doctor was left behind when the TARDIS dematerialized in a park in Colchester, with Amy still inside. The Doctor rented an advertised room in Craig Owens' flat in order to solve the mystery of something on the top floor interfering with the TARDIS's ability to land. The Doctor found that the flat upstairs was actually a makeshift TARDIS and the ship's holographic computer was trying to find a suitable candidate to allow the ship to leave. The Docto and Craig Owens managed to stop the ship from killing anymore people and, with the TARDIS returned, left, the Doctor and Amy left, saying they might return one day. (DW: The Lodger)

Restarting the Universe
The Doctor and Amy visited Planet One, where they found the phrase "hello sweetie" and temporal co-ordinates written on the oldest cliff face in history. He followed the co-ordinates to 102 AD where he found River Song, acting as Cleopatra. She gave him a painting of the Doctor's TARDIS exploding. The Doctor deduced that the name, "The Pandorica Opens", meant that the legendary Pandorica was real. He knew that if someone had built it, they would want to remember where it was, whereupon he, River and Amy rode to Stonehenge. There, he found the entrance to the underhenge, a secret passage underneath Stonehenge. In the cavern, the Doctor found the Pandorica. When he touched it, it began to open. River detected signals from the pillars in the cavern, which revealed at least ten thousand ships were orbiting the planet, including Dalek saucers, Cyberships, Sontaran flagships, Slitheen vessels, Judoon Rockets and Atraxi. The Doctor sent River back to the Romans to gain their help and bring the TARDIS to him. In the chamber, the Doctor and Amy were attacked by a Cyber arm. The Doctor stopped it, but was electrocuted, while Amy was attacked by a Cyberman head that sought to use her as the new Human component, and eventually, a damaged Cyberman. They were saved by Rory, who had become a Roman. The Doctor awoke and passed over Rory before noticing it was him. He wondered how Rory had survived being erased but dismissed thinking about it, calling it a miracle. When ships arrived at Stonehenge, the Doctor addressed them and warned them that he was in possession of the Pandorica. The fleet left to discuss how to proceed. River phoned the Doctor and told him about her discovery.: she had tried to pilot the TARDIS but was taken to 26th June 2010 to Amy's house, where she found a book, "Pandora's Box" and another picturing the Romans at the site in Britain. The Doctor ordered her to leave that time, but she could not, and was locked inside the TARDIS. At Stonehenge, the Romans were revealed to be Autons, including Rory, and were activated and captured the Doctor. Many aliens then teleported into the chamber and revealed that they were there to stop the Doctor from exploding the TARDIS and destroying every universe. They locked the Doctor inside the Pandorica despite his protests. The TARDIS exploded and every star in the universe began to go supernova. (DW: The Pandorica Opens) The Doctor was released from the Pandorica by the Auton version of Rory on the orders of the Doctor's future self, using his future self's sonic screwdriver. Rory showed the Doctor his sonic screwdriver that his future self had told him to let him out. They put Amy in the Pandorica so she would be healed, and the Doctor used River's vortex manipulator to travel to 1996, Rory staying on the linear timeline, protecting the Pandorica. The Doctor arrived at the museum to find a young Amelia Pond and Amy both there and found a fez, putting it on. A Stone Dalek was brought to life by the restoration field from the Pandorica. Rory arrived, dressed as a night guard and shot the Dalek, shutting it down. The Doctor led the group away as the Dalek began to restore. The Doctor held a mop when Rory told him that that is how he had looked when he had told Rory to let him out of the Pandorica. The Doctor then travelled back to 102 AD and told the past version of Rory to let him out. He returned to the National Museum and Amelia told him she was thirsty. He asked how Amelia knew to go there, so she gave him a leaflet and note, both with his handwriting on it. He travelled in time to Amelia's house one night before she visited the museum and left her the leaflet telling her to go there. He then visited her while she was visiting the museum, stole the drink she had at the time and left her the note. He returned and found Amelia had disappeared, as time was shrinking. The Doctor, Amy and Rory began to head for the roof when a future version of the Doctor arrived at the top of the stairs, injured. The future Doctor fell down before dying. The three went to the roof and found the TARDIS still exploding, acting as a sun to the Earth. The Doctor found that River was inside, locked in a time loop. He teleported in and saved her. River returned and destroyed the Doctor's fez with the help of Amy. The Dalek hovered to the roof so the four then returned inside. Inside the Doctor worked out a way to fix the universes' destruction using the Pandorica. The Dalek shot the Doctor and he travelled back in time to the stairs. There he told his past self to pretend he was dead, creating a distraction. River, having killed the Dalek, Rory and Amy returned down to the Pandorica and found the Doctor inside it, having fixed up the vortex manipulator. The Doctor said farewell to Amy before flying the Pandorica into the heart of the TARDIS' explosion. The Doctor then woke up in the TARDIS one week prior, rewinding through his timestream. He passed through several events, attempting to talk to Amy, before being able to do so aboard the Byzantium. He then returned to 1996, finding young Amelia asleep in the garden. He took her to her bed and talked to the sleeping child about the TARDIS, that he had borrowed it and that it was "ancient and new, and the bluest blue ever". He entered the crack in Amelia's wall, closing them forever. At Amy's wedding reception, Amy remembered the Doctor's description, thanks to River's diary and the old wives saying, "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue". She brought back the Doctor, using her memories of him. He arrived in the TARDIS, fully dressed in a tux and top hat. The Doctor introduced himself to her friends and family before moving his box and dancing on the dance floor. Later, outside Amy's cottage, the Doctor encountered River and returned her diary. He asked if River was married, to which she gave an ambiguous answer. The Doctor asked who she was, so she replied by telling him he would find out soon and then teleported away. The Doctor returned to the TARDIS and Rory and Amy entered. They told him to take the day off, though the Doctor was still concerned about "the silence". The Doctor then received a call from a queen about an Egyptian goddess loose on the Orient Express. He told Amy and Rory that he must now say goodbye, so Amy opened the TARDIS door and waved goodbye to her life in Leadworth as the Doctor started up the TARDIS. (DW: The Big Bang)

Later Adventures
In 2010, the Doctor was trapped by the Claw Shansheeth of the 15th Funeral Fleet on the Wasteland of the Crimson Heart. The Shansheeth took the Doctor's TARDIS, pronounced him dead and held a funeral for him, planning to drain Sarah Jane Smith and Josephine Jones of their memories of him. Using Artron energy within Clyde, the Doctor was able to perform a biological swap. He then confronted the Shansheeth who attacked him with a red beam. He escaped by performing another swap, and another, and then took Sarah Jane and Jo to the Wasteland. With their help, he completed the device that orchestrated the swap, allowing him to be on Earth without swapping places with Clyde. Once back, Jo and Sarah Jane were captured by the Shansheet and attatched to a Memory Weave, in an attempt to create a TARDIS key from their memories. The Doctor instructed them to instead think of all their times with him. This overloaded the Weave, which exploded, killing the Shansheeth. The Doctor then reclaimed the TARDIS and took the group to Bannerman Road, where he, Jo and Sarah Jane shared goodbyes. (SJA: Death of the Doctor)

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.

Clothes
For most of his first adventure, the Doctor wore the tattered clothes of his previous incarnation. 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. (DW: The Eleventh Hour)

The eleventh incarnation's primary outfit consisted of a plain brown tweed jacket with elbow patches, a pink dress shirt, a maroon bow tie, maroon braces, a gold wrist watch, rolled up navy-blue trousers and black boots. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, The Beast Below) Then in Victory of the Daleks, he wore a blue bow tie, shirt and braces. He also wore his outfit like this in The Vampires of Venice, Vincent and the Doctor and The Lodger. And he would also, in this form, wear brown boots instead of black ones. His jacket had pockets which were bigger on the inside, as the Doctor was able to produce a large UV lamp from his inside pocket (DW: The Vampires of Venice) along with many other things. He also managed to put a large piece of the TARDIS into his pocket. (DW: Cold Blood)

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. After that incident, he resumed wearing his first jacket. (DW: The Vampires of Venice onwards) The jacket became tattered after the Doctor was shot at by a Dalek. At one point, 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 was later shown to be the Doctor from the future who came back in time to talk to Amy. (DW: Flesh and Stone)
 * The Doctor from the future donned a black wristwatch instead of a gold one. This was a production error.

While in the National Museum, the Doctor found a fez in one of the displays. He decided to start wearing a fez with his outfit stating that "Fezzes are cool", as he had of bow ties. The fez was later removed by Amy and destroyed by River Song, both of who disapproved of it. While rewinding through his own timeline, the Doctor felt for the fez on his head, but it was not there. He concluded to himself that he could easily buy another. (DW: The Big Bang)

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

When he visited Sarah Jane Smith and Josephine Jones at his "funeral", he wore a plain light blue shirt with black buttons instead of his dressy shirt, the rest of his outfit as normal. (SJA: Death of the Doctor)

Personality
The eleventh incarnation was highly energetic and very lively, much like his predecessors, with additional liveliness during his post-regenerative period. He was extremely brash and unafraid to show his eccentricities, appearing to act alien. He was also easily agitated when people or objects did not do as he wished them to, and would resort to physical confrontation and somewhat reckless behaviour to achieve his goals. He had, 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 was aware of Facebook, Twitter and Bebo. He appeared 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 was extremely resourceful and quick thinking, able to spin things to his point of view, and could find positive outlooks in negative situations. He was somewhat more melodramatic in his brilliance, going so far as to prove Fermat's last theorem, faster-than-light travel and why electrons had mass, just to prove he could be trusted. 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) He also remarked about how he saved the world "for about the millionth time". (DW: The Eleventh Hour)

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

This incarnation also had a more serious side to his character. He showed little tolerance for dire mistakes and being belittled by others, even threatening to leave Amy back at home after one mistake. (DW: The Beast Below) He often took his frustrations out on others by exploding with anger and coldness. (DW: The Beast Below, Flesh and Stone, Amy's Choice) He was also more prone to violent actions and sometimes used them as his first option to achieve his goals. He repeatedly struck 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) He also appeared to be almost downright threatening to the Atraxi after they surveyed a projection of him, using his near-legendary reputation to his own advantage. (DW: The Eleventh Hour)

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) The eleventh incarnation shared many, but much milder, traits of the sixth incarnation, such as the solemn nature when not being taken seriously and the belittling of Humans. Also reminiscent is the lack of interest in his companions, much more than his previous incarnation's, even ignoring them when busy with his work. He also largely preferred his companions to follow his instructions but usually fell 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 tried to stop the Saturnynian's plan. (DW: The Vampires of Venice) Unlike his previous incarnation, this Doctor seemed slightly annoyed with River Song instead of enjoying her company, as he could not stand the fact that River knew more about his own future than he did, and resented her apparently superior control of the TARDIS. He was also mildly callous like his sixth and ninth incarnations, not believing in using white lies nor did he dabble around with the truth like his tenth incarnation. He was straight to the point and did not beat around the bush, no matter how bad the situation was. 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 incarnation occasionally badly misjudged people. Similar to how the sixth misjudged Lytton, the eleventh stated he wished he had known Father Octavian better just before he was killed by a Weeping Angel. (DW: Flesh and Stone, Attack of the Cybermen)

The eleventh incarnation'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 appeared he had to lobotomise the Star Whale in order to save it more pain, he seemed disgusted with the situation and himself, remarking that he would have to change his name because he wouldn't be the Doctor any more. (DW: The Beast Below) He also had a tendency to think aloud when he was panicking or stressed. When discovering that countless Dalek craft were situated outside Stonehenge, he rambled on about how "they'll never expect three people to attack twelve thousand Dalek battleships, because we'd be killed instantly, so it would be a fairly short surprise. Forget Surprise", turning the Daleks and Cybermen against each other because the Daleks "are always so cross", and when he heard the Sontarans he asked the question "Who stole all their hammocks?". (DW: The Pandorica Opens)

Much like his fourth, sixth, and ninth incarnations, 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 incarnation believed that a Human's ability to feel pain and suffering defined their Humanity. (DW: Victory of the Daleks) He was unable to comfort an upset Vincent Van Gogh (DW: Vincent and the Doctor) and found it difficult to act like an average Human when staying with Craig Owens. (DW: The Lodger) This incarnation was also aware of the flaws Humans had and reminded them of those flaws, a trait his ninth incarnation had. He seemed to suggest that he saw Humans as beneath him, unlike his tenth incarnation. When speaking with Father Octavian about Alfava Metraxis, he compared Humans to rabbits and claimed he would never be done saving them. (DW: The Time of Angels) When Amy suddenly forced herself upon the Doctor and kissed him he immediately responded with "But you're Human!". (DW: Flesh and Stone) The eleventh incarnation still showed a deep respect for Humanity, calling them an "extraordinary species" and telling Alaya that it was 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 incarnation had 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 wasn't how he solved problems. As she protested, he told her firmly with a small smile that she was better than using weapons and was asking nicely. Later he told Alaya that there was a "peace to be brokered" and that he wouldn'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 would 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 incarnation had 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 was not keen on hiding his emotions, usually making his anger obvious through violent actions and tone of voice. 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 incarnation did show an ability to be affectionate and comforting with Amy, such as when he kissed her on the forehead (DW:Victory of the Daleks, Flesh and Stone/The Big Bang) and held her hand. (DW: Amy's Choice)

This incarnation had also shown some concern about his legs. Immediately after his regeneration, his first act was to make sure that he still had legs. (DW:The End of Time). Later on, after he had thrown himself into the explosion in the heart of the TARDIS, the first thing he did was check to see if his legs were still there. (DW: The Big Bang)

This incarnation was shown to have resolved much of the survivors guilt seen in his ninth and tenth incarnations, to the extent that he referred to the time war as simply a 'bad day'. (DW: The Beast Below)

This incarnation seemed more willing to sacrifice himself. Several times he told Amy and Rory to return to the TARDIS in times of great danger, and sacrificed himself to create the big bang two. (DW: The Time of Angels, The Vampires of Venice, Amy's Choice, Cold Blood, The Big Bang)

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

He also showed 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 shaped out a large nose with his hands when he referred to Rory Williams, whom he had a habit of patting chummily on the face. He also had a habit of spinning in circles when walking and spinning around in a complete counter clockwise circle to look in one direction instead of turning to the right. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, The Big Bang)

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

Much like his tenth persona, this incarnation had horrible social skills. He went into detail about his encounter with Amy at Rory's Bachelor party, (DW: The Vampires of Venice) and often interrupted himself, and others, to tell someone to "shut up!" Also, this incarnation was frequently out-done verbally by Amy, to the point of becoming flustered at some of her wittier remarks. He also had a habit of making various subtle light-hearted innuendos with Rory (DW: The Vampires of Venice, Amy's Choice) but ended up clueless when Amy tried to flirt with him. (DW: Flesh and Stone) However, he had become a little more adept at dealing with, or at least deflecting, such innuendos by the time Amy and Rory were married. (DW: The Big Bang)

He also had a habit of rambling, making rapid amendments to his speech, to the point where it seemed like he was 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 incarnation had asked his companions and others to trust him before he began any plan. This Doctor had also frequently hushed others while he trying to think. Before the eleventh incarnation pointed at someone or something, he usually clicked his fingers and then pointed. When he walked somewhere at a pace, he usually did so with his head looking at the ground. He also displayed a preference for sitting down casually and nonchalantly with leg crossed, appearing quite comfortable and in control during crises or tense situations, as with his reference to the "comfy chairs" in the Byzantium starship. (DW: Flesh and Stone) This incarnation displayed a penchant for unexpectedly pulling miscellaneous objects out of his jacket when needed, akin to his fourth and tenth incarnations. These items 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, The Pandorica Opens)
 * 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)

The eleventh incarnation had shown several uses 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) 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 was apparently disorientating to both. He may have used this method due to a lack of time for more subtle measures. (DW: The Lodger) He also used them to leave Amy a message when she woke up and was released from the Pandorica, telling her to rest. (DW: The Big Bang)

This incarnation also had the habit of referring to his companions by their surname. (DW: The Eleventh Hour, The Big Bang, SJA: Death of the Doctor)

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 resembled a fresnel navigation lamp, the blue was brighter and the windows had changed to include white borders around the glass panels and alternating frosting on the bottom panes. The exterior configuration was similar to the design the first incarnation used.

At some point the Doctor threw his much-abused TARDIS Instruction Manual into a Supernova. He later justified the move by saying he "disagreed with it". (DW: Amy's Choice)

Undated/Unchronicled events

 * There are several gaps in which a number of adventures may have happened:
 * Between Rory joining the Doctor and Amy on the TARDIS and his death. (DW: The Vampires of Venice, Cold Blood)
 * Amy's Choice took place during this time.
 * Between Rory's death and visiting Planet One.
 * The Doctor and Amy visit Arcadia and the Trojan Gardens during this time.
 * The events of Vincent and the Doctor and The Lodger take place during this time.
 * After Amy and Rory's wedding.
 * The Doctor and Amy go in search of the Doctor's favourite painting. Rory is not present. (WC: The War of Art, WC: Amy's History Hunt)
 * The Doctor and Amy discover the Daleks have taken over Earth in 1963. Following them back to Skaro they are able to undo the damage they have done. (VG: City of the Daleks)

Behind the scenes

 * 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 will 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 turning 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 canidate 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 cites, 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.
 * 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 &quot;Indiana&quot; 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.
