Full of a lust for life that left him unafraid to show his emotions, the Fifteenth Doctor had an unrelenting need to fix the problems he found in his travels across time and space as he moved to help those he found in danger.
Benefiting from the rehab his preceding incarnation had undertaken, the Fifteenth Doctor was freed from the emotional baggage and deteriorating mental state of his predecessors, and journeyed the universe with reinvigorated optimism following a fabled bi-generation that saw him help the Fourteenth Doctor defeat the Toymaker, though not without the threat of the Toymaker's legions "coming". Soon after the bi-generation, the Doctor became acquainted with Ruby Sunday, and together they defeated the Goblins that were abducting and eating children, before she joined him on his further adventures. After many adventures togethers, they encountered the Doctor's old nemesis Sutekh. Upon undoing the God of Death's annihilation of life throughout the universe, the Doctor separated from Ruby so she could spend time with her mother and father.
Biography[]
A day to come[]
When the Thirteenth Doctor encountered the embodiment of Time, they restored the Doctor from being scattered across three bodies at once, declaring that she would be "reunified", but then questioned "how long" the Doctor would remain "unified." (TV: The Vanquishers [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 13 (BBC One and BBC America, 2021).)
After they teamed up in a game against the Toymaker, the Fourteenth Doctor was told by his fifteenth incarnation that he would only find peace after settling down to heal from his traumas, quipping that they were "doing rehab out of order" by having the Fourteenth Doctor see how well adjusted his next incarnation was. The Fifteenth Doctor was also recognised by Donna Noble as being older than the fourteenth incarnation due to being from the future. (TV: The Giggle [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).)
Post-bi-generation[]
- Main article: Fourteenth Doctor's bi-generation
The Fifteenth Doctor is born in a bi-generation. (TV: The Giggle [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).)
Atop the helipad attached to UNIT HQ in the City of London in late 2023, the Toymaker shot the Fourteenth Doctor with UNIT's Galvanic beam, due to his desire to play their next game with "the next Doctor", initiating a regeneration. However, as Donna Noble and Melanie Bush rushed to his side, the Doctor felt that he wasn't regenerating as he typically would and asked them to pull on his arms, causing the Fifteenth Doctor to split out of the Fourteenth Doctor in a bi-generation, a process previously believed to be a myth. Despite coming into being while the Fourteenth Doctor still existed, the Fifteenth Doctor was still older than his preceding incarnation, with Donna commenting it was "because [he] came after him", and the Fifteenth Doctor also had knowledge of events yet to come for the Fourteenth Doctor.
After the Fifteenth Doctor cracked his new neck, and flirted with Mel, the Toymaker interrupted him, wanting to continue forcing the Doctors to bi-generate, but the two Doctors instead challenged him to a game of catch, and the Toymaker relented to accept the challenge. The game was then played, with the Fifteenth Doctor ultimately playing the winning throw after the Toymaker failed to catch the ball. As his prize, the Fourteenth Doctor chose to banish the Toymaker from existence, but he warned the Doctors that his legions were still "coming". The Fifteenth Doctor and Donna consoled the Fourteenth Doctor over the deaths caused by the Toymaker, with the Fifteenth Doctor giving his predecessor a reassuring hug, before walking back into the UNIT HQ. (TV: The Giggle [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).)
A fresh start[]
The Doctor sets out to explore the universe. (TV: The Giggle [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).)
As he was given a tour of their TARDIS, the Fifteenth Doctor told the Fourteenth Doctor that he needed a break, with Donna agreeing that he was "running on fumes." As he convinced his fourteenth incarnation to settle down by listing their traumas, the Fourteenth Doctor confided that he couldn't leave the TARDIS behind while living on Earth. However, the Fifteenth Doctor realized that for a brief moment, the lingering powers of the Toymaker's domain were still in their reality. He used it to bring back a future TARDIS with a mallet. The Fifteenth Doctor entered the future TARDIS, with the Fourteenth Doctor and Donna following him in to say goodbye after he tried sneaking off. Giving them a fond farewell, the Fifteenth Doctor then left to travel the universe. (TV: The Giggle [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).)
Deciding that the attire of his previous incarnation "wo[uld]n't do" anymore, the Doctor chose his new clothing in the TARDIS, selecting sturdy boots and a new hat. (POEM: Contents [+]James Goss, Now We Are Six Hundred (Harper Design, 2017). Page 16.) The Doctor then thought on how a new chapter in his life was beginning, as he had friends to make and adventures to go on, with new threats and enemies to face with "no idea what [they'd] let themselves in for." (PROSE: "Heroes of Time" [+]Part of Whotopia: The Ultimate Guide to the Whoniverse, Simon Guerrier, Una McCormack and Jonathan Morris, BBC Books (2023).)
Early adventures[]
A photograph of the Doctor. (PROSE: Rose [+]Russell T Davies, adapted from Rose (Russell T Davies), Target novelisations (Target Books, 2018). Edition: 2023 Illustrated Edition.)
The Doctor arrived outside the Time Bubble containing Nora Wicker's home on 16 December 2033. The Eleventh Doctor had secured his help after deciding to free Nora following the forty-six years she spent inadvertently trapped inside, each day looping over and over, as the Eleventh Doctor miscalculated the size of the bubble when he erected it to contain the seed of the World Tree that had landed in her garden on 19 August 1987. After exiting his TARDIS, the Fifteenth Doctor waved to Nora and the Eleventh Doctor, then readied himself to use his sonic screwdriver at the same time as the Eleventh Doctor to produce a precise frequency to create a crack in the bubble. However, at the last possible moment, Nora confided to the Eleventh Doctor that she wanted to remain in the bubble to look after the tree, distracting the Eleventh Doctor and causing the sync to fail. The Fifteenth Doctor lowered his screwdriver and returned to the TARDIS, planning to return the next day, but ultimately did not to respect Nora's wishes.

Meeting Ruby Sunday[]
The Doctor and Ruby on the Goblin ship. (TV: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2023 (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).)
After traveling alone for "a while", (PROSE: Space Babies [+]Alison Rumfitt, adapted from Space Babies (Russell T Davies), Target novelisations (Target Books, 2024).) the Doctor found himself watching a band perform a gig at a pub in London on 22 December 2023, but their performance was stopped when the keyboardist, Ruby Sunday, had her keyboard unplugged by a Goblin. The next day, the Doctor was enjoying himself at a nightclub when he bumped into Ruby again, and realised she was being victimised by the Goblins after saving her drink from being spilled, and later interfered in the Goblins' attempt to drop an inflatable snowman on her taxi ride, after which he told the responding policeman that his girlfriend was bound to accept his marriage proposal.
On Christmas Eve, the Doctor caught up to Ruby while she was trying to save Lulubelle from being taken to the Goblin ship, and joined her in rescuing Lulubelle from being fed to the Goblin King whilst participating in the Goblins' song and escaped back to the Sundays' home using his intelligent gloves, where he met Ruby's adopted grandmother, Cherry, and then her adopted mother, Carla. While listening to Carla gush over Ruby to cheer her up after being told that Davina McCall was unable the find her biological family, the Doctor opened up to them about being a foundling himself, (TV: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2023 (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).) having felt emboldened by the Sundays' openness to be open himself, (PROSE: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson, adapted from The Church on Ruby Road (Russell T Davies), Target novelisations (Target Books, 2024). Chapter Fifteen; Page 110.) accidently invoking a set of a coincidences and allowing the Goblins to crack the timeline by stealing Ruby as a baby. The Doctor then went back in time to the day she was abandoned at the church on Ruby Road in 2004 to stop the Goblins from stealing her by using his intelligent gloves to force the Goblin ship into the church spire, killing the Goblin King and causing the ship to disappear, (TV: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2023 (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).) as though the Goblins had been erased from existence or pulled back into another world. (PROSE: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson, adapted from The Church on Ruby Road (Russell T Davies), Target novelisations (Target Books, 2024). Chapter Eighteen; Page 137.)
After he watched Ruby's mother walk away, the Doctor returned to his TARDIS to make sure Ruby had been restored in 2023 and, after a brief side-track to save Davina from a falling Christmas tree, waited for Ruby to joined him in the TARDIS. (TV: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2023 (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).) He then updated his diary to include his new adventures. (PROSE: First Day of the Doctor [+]Paul Lang, Doctor Who The Official Annual 2024 (Penguin Group, 2023). Page 31.) calling the Goblin adventure bizarre. (PROSE: TARDIS Data File: Ruby Sunday [+]Error: Code 2 - no data stored in variables, cache or SMW.)
Immediately upon being joined by Ruby, the Doctor brought her to the Jurassic Period to demonstrate the time travel capabilities of the TARDIS. While there Ruby accidentally stepped on a butterfly, causing her timeline to change, becoming a reptilian humanoid named Rubathon Blue. The Doctor promptly revives the butterfly, restoring her timeline, and shortly after he remembers to turn on the "butterfly compensation switch" of the TARDIS.
Next the Doctor offers to take her to the future, with Ruby suggesting a year from random numbers off the top of her head, resulting in 21506. The TARDIS materializes on a space station baby farm orbiting Pacifico Del Rio, finding it in disrepair, abandoned, and with one level infested by a Bogeyman. They discover intelligent babies and the station's former accountant, Jocelyn Sancerre, have taken over the station operations, though the latter disguises herself as an AI called Nan-E. Throughout this adventure the Doctor ponders the connection between Ruby and babies and discovers snowflakes physically manifest if her past is dwelt on.
Ultimately the Doctor is able to restore the station's functionality enough to take it to the fifth planet in the system Mondo Caroon. He's also able to save the Bogeyman from death, with him and Ruby revealing to Jocelyn that it was never a threat and simply a result of the computer system's literal interpretation of factors required for healthy baby rearing and showing her it was a new lifeform that deserved a chance as much as the Space Babies. As they departed, the Doctor told Ruby that, even if she asked him too, he couldn't take her to see her mother leave her at Ruby Road to preserve her timeline, but Ruby instead asked him to take her home to see Carla. (TV: Space Babies [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) Once she was caught up to speed, Carla made the Doctor promise to keep Ruby safe while she travelled with him, (TV: Rogue [+]Kate Herron and Briony Redman, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) as he prepared to face things he had "never encounter[ed] before."

The Care Force arrests the Doctor and Ruby. (COMIC: Mancopolis (part one) [+]Alan Barnes, DWM Comics (Panini Magazines, 2024).)
Arriving atop the Jason Orange Plaza in Mancopolis 2424, the Doctor and Ruby dodged being run over by a tram, only to be arrested by the Care Force for being "tram raiders". A weather orb, noticing they weren't smiling, began raining on them. After stopping the orb, the mayor of the city, Mary Mulberry, communicated to them via the windows of a tower which also functioned as screens, believing them to be auditors sent by the Galactic Central Exchange; she ordered Zhi, one of the Care Force, to bring them to her, and, on the journey to the Mancopolis City Hall, she explained to them how Mayor Mulberry saved the city and its population after the 2399 Event.
Entering the Mayor's office, the Mayor vocalised her belief that they had been a deliberate distraction to enable the Exchange to sneak an assault ship into the city, which she promptly had destroyed. She offered a negotiation, but, after realising they weren't non-humans since they weren't going shift into another form, she threatened to dismember one of them. As they tried to escape through a lift, she had the duo teleported to a dark space filled with "massive people-eating silkworms".

Following an alien distress call to Lake Peipus in 1242, the Doctor and Ruby met Ranavere Rentara who was attempting to escape her family of mercenaries. Whilst trying to make peace between her and her sisters who had arrived to force her to fight as ordered, they discovered the Genetrix, a parasitic enemy of the Rentara, was also on Earth and was spreading its parasites among Novgordian soldiers. After a failed mental contact, the Doctor finally located the Genetrix as it latched onto his TARDIS on the frozen lake and managed to separate it, forcing it back into hibernation beneath the ice. With peace now established between the sisters, he left them to guard the lake against any return of the Genetrix when the ice thawed, choosing not to tell them he actually intended to use the TARDIS to take it off-world as he wanted them to use the time to bond.

The Doctor and Ruby are confronted by Maestro. (TV: The Devil's Chord [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
Ruby asked to see the Beatles record their first album at Abbey Road studios. Upon arriving in 1963, they discovered something was wrong with music as the Beatles, Cilla Black, and other musicians were producing bad music, making him immediately realise something was wrong. The Doctor realised this extended to a wider change in history, such as a Soviet Union offensive against Finland. Investigating, he had Ruby play one of her band's songs on a rooftop, attracting Maestro, the entity of music that was causing the drastic changes to history. He used a trick to stop all sound, helping them escape. He worried about Maestro's power, realizing they were a child of the Toymaker. To prove this to Ruby, he took her to 2024, showing a devastated world after a nuclear war caused by the lack of music. He theorized they could banish Maestro using the lost chord. During a music battle, the Doctor found most of the notes but hit a wrong note at the end. Paul McCartney and John Lennon helped find the final note, rescuing the Doctor from being trapped in a Timpani drum. With music restored, the Doctor and Ruby sang and danced with those at the studio before leaving. (TV: The Devil's Chord [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
The Doctor and Ruby encountered a Shreek in 2024 that had escaped from its hive. It covered Ruby in its pheromones before being sent back to its hive by the Doctor, the Doctor then explained to Ruby that the pheromones mark you down as future prey before giving her the antidote and they returned to the TARDIS talking about the Beatles they meet half a hour ago. Unbeknownst to the two, they were observed by Conrad Clark who had also gotten covered in the creature's pheromones. (TV: Lucky Day [+]Pete McTighe, Doctor Who series 15 (BBC One and Disney+, 2025).)

The Doctor looks into the distance on Kastarion 3. (TV: Boom [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
Landing on Kastarion 3 to show Ruby a new planet's sky, the Doctor heard a scream and ran out of the TARDIS to investigate. In his haste, he stepped on a landmine but didn't fully set off the trigger, needing to confirm the Doctor was alive. He balanced his weight enough to stop the countdown temporarily. When Ruby arrived, he asked her to find something heavy to help balance and trick the mine's algorithm. She brought what she thought was an urn, but he realized it was a smelted body. They discovered it belonged to John Francis Vater when his AI hologram appeared. They learned Vater was killed by the Villengard Ambulance's algorithm as a mercy killing due to his temporary blindness reducing his operational efficiency. When Vater's daughter, Splice Alison Vater, arrived, the Doctor tried to prevent her from getting too close, spiking his adrenaline and accelerating the countdown. An ambulance sensed conflict but couldn't treat the Doctor due to his alien biology. Ruby tried to distract the machine but was shot by Canterbury James Olliphant. The Doctor, distraught, realized the conflict was perpetuated by Villengard's profit motive. He asked the Vater AI to infiltrate the ambulance computers, surrendering the systems, stopping the war, and deactivating the landmine. It worked, and he and Ruby safely left the planet as the conflict finally ended. (TV: Boom [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
Arriving on a new planet, the Doctor and Ruby encountered Chirracharr who was looking for aliens who'd abducted her once before.

He started to tell Ruby that he loved the Welsh but started to warn her about Roger ap Gwilliam, before realising it was a spoiler as she had not lived through 2046 yet. Ruby stopped him from talking to point out an old woman in the distance, but the Doctor did not see her. He moved to walk on but Ruby called out to him to not go further. Looking down, the Doctor saw he had nearly walked into a fairy circle (TV: 73 Yards [+]Steven Moffat and Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One, et al., 2024).) made out of cotton.

However, the Doctor sensed an alien presence, soon learning that the time-travelling bounty hunter Rogue was trying to kill the Chuldur family impersonating the guests in the manor. Though Rogue at first believed the Doctor was a Chuldur, he was able to prove to Rogue he was not a Chuldur by having his ship scan him while he was struck in a triform, revealing himself to be a Time Lord, (TV: Rogue [+]Kate Herron and Briony Redman, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) and telling the unwilling guests to run. (PROSE: Rogue [+]Kate Herron and Briony Redman, adapted from Rogue (Kate Herron and Briony Redman), Target novelisations (Target Books, 2024).)

The return of Sutekh[]
info from Pyramids of Mars [+]Tales of the TARDIS (BBC iPlayer, 2024). is missing
After encountering more versions of a woman distinctively identical across their adventures, the Doctor took Ruby to UNIT headquarters to see if they could help identify her. Kate and her team revealed they had been monitoring Susan Triad. Speculating she could be his granddaughter Susan Foreman hidden through regeneration, the Doctor delayed meeting her and instead ordered Kate to let him use their secret time window technology so Ruby could try to learn the identity of her mother by projecting the memory of Ruby's abandonment captured a VHS tape. However, during the attempt, Ruby's mother somehow managed to avoid the pair and an entity was revealed to be hidden in the TARDIS. Giving in, the Doctor let Melanie Bush take him to meet Susan at her studio. While there, the entity in the TARDIS revealed itself as Sutekh and that Susan was under its control. Panicked, the Doctor could only stand in shock as the entity reached out to him. (TV: The Legend of Ruby Sunday [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)

Sutekh appeared but the Doctor swore he would stop his actions, the trio fleeing in the TARDIS with the time window's monitor. They then watched in Earth's orbit as Sutekh's dust of death massacred the universe's population. Realising his travels through time and space had enabled Sutekh's victory, the Doctor broke down in despair.
Sometime later, the Doctor met a kind woman on a deserted planet, gaining a metal spoon from her before she turned to dust. Back at the memory TARDIS, the Doctor used the spoon to boost the power of the time window so Ruby's questions about her mother were answered. He realised Sutekh needed to know who Ruby's mother was too. Learning they could visit 2046 to find her DNA records, the group did so. However, just as they managed to access the records, Sutekh consumed Mel into one of his disciples, taking the Doctor and Ruby hostage. Teleported back to UNIT, Sutekh subdued the Doctor and ordered Ruby show him the DNA results, but she instead wrapped intelligent rope around him which she and the Doctor then used to restrain him and, using a whistle, regain control of the TARDIS. The Doctor then transported Sutekh across all of time and space to undo his dust of death and then banished him into the time vortex to die.
After defeating Sutekh, the Doctor and Ruby went their separate ways so that Ruby could enjoy life with her family, including her newly found birth mother whom UNIT had located. However, the Doctor promised his friend that he would see her again someday. As the two parted, she told him that she loved him.

[+]Part of The Gold Archive: Invasions of Earth: A Secret History, Error: Code 2 - no data stored in variables, cache or SMW.)

The Doctor Landed in Nigeria 1965 where he met Oma Esosa a fire started as soon as he arrived and a injured 13-Year old girl known as Blue on the floor from a gun shot wound by soldier's, while trying to stop the bleeding he got Oma to continue so he could take Blue to the TARDISES healing pod and simultaneously putting out the mass fire with a hose, The Doctor then put Blue after she finished healing to bed, he then asked Oma when he could get more information to which Oma replied by saying his Dad's barber shop in Lagos.

Staying at the Sandringham Hotel[]
Ham and cheese toastie and a pumpkin latté. (TV: Joy to the World [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2024 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
Following a signal to find milk, the Doctor found himself in the Time Hotel in 4202, tracking a Silurian holding an unusual briefcase. There, he enlisted the assistance of one of the hotel's staff, Trev Simpkins, learning that the hotel contained time portals throughout human history. He gained a Customer ID "7214". (GAME: Welcome to the Time Hotel [+]Error: Code 2 - no data stored in variables, cache or SMW.) He learned furthermore that the hotel was, at the moment, doing a special, "Christmas everywhere all at once," meaning that at the moment the portals each connected to Christmas within their respective eras.
Going undercover, the Doctor placed a room service order for a ham and cheese toastie and pumpkin latté, which in accordance with the hotel's practises were delivered to him almost immediately, having been sent from 30 minutes in the future. He then traveled through a number of the hotel's portals under the guise of serving this as a room service delivery before finally discovering the Silurian in the room of Joy Almondo in the Sandringham Hotel in 2024.
The Doctor confronted the Silurian, trying to get him to explain the contents of the briefcase, but the Silurian would only state "The star seed will bloom and the flesh will rise." He attempted to get the Doctor to take the briefcase to find out for himself, but the Doctor refused. Meanwhile, Joy, annoyed by the refusal of both of them to explain anything, declared that she would take the case and did so, at which point a chain appeared, latching the briefcase to her. She then repeated the Silurian's statement that the star seed would bloom and the flesh would rise and when he asked what he should do, told him that he would shortly be dead.
The Doctor, stunned, told the Silurian that he could not die, that the Silurians were the proudest race he knew and that he would not have that. Nevertheless, the Silurian disintegrated in a burst of yellow light. The Doctor then warned Joy that what had happened to the Silurian would happen to her, but she only repeated the line about the star seed. The Doctor told her that she was being mansplained by the briefcase, but she argued that he was the one who had been doing the mansplaining.
Determined to get to the bottom of the matter, the Doctor opened the briefcase, revealing the glowing star seed inside. This, however, triggered a warning that if the briefcase was not closed within 20 seconds, the current holder would be disintegrated. The Doctor closed the briefcase just before this could happen. This, however, resulted in the appearance of a control panel and a new warning that the holder of the briefcase would be disintegrated in 15 seconds if the correct four-digit code was not input. Shortly before the timer was set to expire, another version of the Fifteenth Doctor appeared in the room, revealing the code, thus allowing his counterpart to enter it and save Joy.
Due to time travel not being possible within the Time Hotel, the Doctor was forced to live for one year in Joy's room in the Sandringham Hotel in order to complete the bootstrap paradox and provide himself with the code. He therefore spoke with the hotel's proprietor, Anita Benn, securing work at the hotel as a waiter and caretaker among other tasks in order to pay for his room and board. During this time, the two of them grew close to each other. They began a regular tradition known as "Chair Night" in which they would spend time together, doing things such as playing games like Twister or Cluedo. Eventually, however, one year later, the Doctor would leave Anita in order to complete the paradox. She admitted that she had always known he would eventually leave, but told him to look after himself and to not be alone, that she would be waiting.
The paradox complete, the Doctor explained to Joy that he had figured out the nature of the star seed. A corporation desired to have a custom-built star and needed the Time Hotel in order to send it back into the past to provide enough time for it to bloom. He explained this to Joy, who remained largely uninterested, due to the briefcase's control over her. He thus was forced to make her angry in order to break the conditioning, revealing in the process that her mother had died on Christmas Day during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Doctor discovered that it was his old enemy, Villengard, who had created the star seed. He was still confused, however, as to how they could accomplish their plan using a hotel linked to human history, as it did not go back very far. He and Joy, however, then discovered that the hotel, in fact, had a portal leading over 65 million years back, to the time of the dinosaurs. He realised that the eruption of the star seed would destroy the entire planet, something Villengard would have prevented by sending a telepathic signal to the holder of the briefcase. This signal, however, had been disrupted when he severed Joy's connection to the briefcase.
With the help of Trev Simpkins, whose consciousness had been absorbed by the star seed, the Doctor devised a plan to hurtle the star seed into space using his TARDIS, connecting various time periods using rope. Joy, however, realized that the plan would not succeed. She therefore took the star seed, now outside Villengard's control, into her own body, filling the prophecy that the star seed would bloom and the flesh would rise. The Doctor pleaded with her not to do it, that she would die, but she told him that she would not, that she was simply changing and becoming something wonderful. Before rising into the sky of Bethlehem, she told the Doctor that he needed to find a friend. Seeing her as the Christmas star in the sky, the Doctor realized she had become the Star of Bethlehem. (TV: Joy to the World [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2024 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
In the Christmas Spirit[]
The Doctor once stood in his TARDIS as it was pulled forward through the sky by two Reindeer. (GRAPHIC: Joy to the World, Honey!)
The Doctor was depicted alongside Joy Almondo in an advertisement for Doctor Who, stating that it could be watched at Christmas. Around this time, The Doctor's TARDIS was flown nearby.

Meeting Belinda Chandra[]
After learning that Conrad Clark had used Ruby to get to UNIT, the Doctor visited him in prison, pulling Conrad into the TARDIS to confront him. The Doctor berated Conrad for his selfish actions, but Conrad was unphased, stating that the Doctor had had a lot of friends and asking if he had met Belinda Chandra yet. Confused by the question but furious, the Doctor told Conrad that he would die in a prison cell of heart failure at age 49, boiling in anger and poison, "alone and unloved. Forgotten." The world was going to carry on and get better while Conrad wouldn't even be a footnote in history. Conrad rejected the Doctor's words and ordered him to put him back in prison and get off of Earth. With a snap of his fingers, the Doctor sent Conrad back, but he was freed by Mrs Flood moments later. (TV: Lucky Day [+]Pete McTighe, Doctor Who series 15 (BBC One and Disney+, 2025).)
Intrigued by the mention of Belinda, the Doctor attempted to save her from robots from Missbelindachandra One, but got pulled into a Time Fracture, landing on the planet six months before Belinda. The Doctor helped the locals form a rebellion against the AI Generator, only to learn that it was actually Alan Budd, Belinda's ex-boyfriend, who had also been taken by the robots but landed years earlier due to the time fracture. By combining her star certificate from two different time periods, Belinda created a temporal paradox that killed Alan, but the Doctor was able to save her life. However, Belinda was uninterested in becoming his companion and requested that the Doctor return her to 24 May, 2025. When the Doctor tried, the TARDIS bounced off of that date, meaning that they would have to find another way back. Unbeknownst to the Doctor and Belinda, the Earth had apparently been destroyed on 24 May, 2025. (TV: The Robot Revolution [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 15 (BBC One and Disney+, 2025).)
Early travels with Belinda[]

The Doctor told Belinda Chandra that they would have to go the long way around. They landed in multiple locations including an office, The Queen Victoria, The Gladiators and The Traitors. (TV: The Doctor's TARDIS lands in iconic BBC shows)
Using a Vindicator to take the long way around back to Belinda's time, the two landed in 1952 Miami where they faced off against Lux Imperator, another member of the Pantheon of Discord. The Doctor and Belinda were able to free Lux's victims and the god grew so large that he dispersed into the form of light throughout the universe. (TV: Lux [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 15 (BBC One and Disney+, 2025).)
Next, the Vindicator took the Doctor and Belinda 500,000 years into the future where they joined a group of troopers investigating mysterious activity at Colony Base 15 on Planet 6-7-6-7. After learning that the planet was once called Midnight, the Doctor realized that the entity that he had faced in his tenth incarnation was responsible. The entity revealed that it knew the Doctor's real name and killed most of the troopers before seemingly being trapped on the planet once again thanks to the sacrifice of Shaya Costallion. The Doctor ordered that Midnight be nuked from orbit and for no one to ever return to the planet in an attempt to trap or destroy the creature for good. However, in the process, the Doctor and Belinda learned that no one had ever heard of Earth or the human race in the future which the Doctor was unable to explain. (TV: The Well [+]Russell T Davies and Sharma Angel-Walfall, Doctor Who series 15 (BBC One and Disney+, 2025).)
The Vindicator took the Doctor and Belinda to New Year's Day, 2007, where they briefly met a young Conrad Clark. In the process, Conrad learned Belinda's name, creating a temporal paradox as he would later tell a younger version of the Doctor about Belinda, leading to their first meeting. (TV: Lucky Day [+]Pete McTighe, Doctor Who series 15 (BBC One and Disney+, 2025).)
The Vindicator took The Doctor and Belinda to 1656 where they decided to explore before getting lost and the Vindicator being stolen. (COMIC: Lua error in Module:Cite_source at line 420: attempt to index a nil value.)
Other realities[]
The Daft Dimension[]
In the Daft Dimension, the "new Doctor", as mentioned by one fan, was among the exciting new developments of Doctor Who. (COMIC: The Daft Dimension 579 [+]Lew Stringer, The Daft Dimension stories (Panini Comics, 2022).) This Doctor and his companion were on the front cover of an issue of Doctor Who Magazine. (COMIC: The Daft Dimension 600 [+]Lew Stringer, The Daft Dimension (Panini Comics, 2024).)
Ruby's World[]
In an alternate timeline, the Doctor went to Wales in 2024 with Ruby Sunday. He told her about Roger ap Gwilliam and his actions in 2046. However, he then stepped on and broke a fairy circle made out of cotton by accident. (PROSE: The Life Of Ruby Sunday [+]Paul Lang, adapted from 73 Yards (Russell T Davies), Doctor Who The Official Annual 2025 (BBC Children's Books, 2024).) Worried, he bent down and apologised. However, as Ruby read the notes attached to it, the Doctor was banished from existence and his TARDIS subsequently sealed itself off. Ruby then lived out the rest of her life with the Doctor banished, eventually aborting the timeline when sent back from 2089 to just before the Doctor stepped on the circle. (TV: 73 Yards [+]Steven Moffat and Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One, et al., 2024).)
Psychological profile[]
Personality[]
A champion to life itself, (TV: Empire of Death [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) the Fifteenth Doctor enjoyed the feeling of being himself, (TV: The Giggle [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials (BBC One and Disney+, 2023)., The Legend of Ruby Sunday [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) and embracing the thrill of being alive in memory of fallen friends who could not, (TV: Space Babies [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024)., Rogue [+]Kate Herron and Briony Redman, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) preferring to live "in the moment." (TV: Joy to the World [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2024 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) He sought to comfort those he knew were in distress, even offering himself as a shoulder to cry on for his fourteenth incarnation (TV: The Giggle [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).) and as an ear for Rogue to air his grief. (TV: Rogue [+]Kate Herron and Briony Redman, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) He would encourage scared people to overcome their fears with positive encouragement. (TV: Dot and Bubble [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
Running towards screams to see if he could help, (TV: Boom [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) the Doctor sought to protect life of all sorts, even those with a monstrous appearance. (TV: Space Babies [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) He would put the safety of others before his own wellbeing, (TV: Boom [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) but would act rashly when driven by his emotions. (TV: Rogue [+]Kate Herron and Briony Redman, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
He acted more on instinct than memory, which could leave him flabbergasted by his own actions. He described himself as being a "visual person," and thus felt the need to see things to aid his thinking process regarding them. (TV: Joy to the World [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2024 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) He could also be over personal with people he just met, causing him to act without proper consent, though he would apologies when he was called out for his actions. (TV: The Robot Revolution [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 15 (BBC One and Disney+, 2025).)
Not wanting to show off his intelligence, (TV: Boom [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) the Fifteenth Doctor had the humility to not think himself a genius, instead prioritising the love he had experienced in his long life as inspiration for his ideas. (TV: The Devil's Chord [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) He would laugh at the weirdness of the universe. (TV: Space Babies [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
He liked to work at his own pace, and would drown out others while on task. He was not above what some would consider menial labor and worked as both waiting staff and as a caretaker to earn money to pay for his stay at the Sandringham Hotel. (TV: Joy to the World [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2024 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
He would behave amiably with people in general, trying to greet everyone in a room when meeting them and even compliment their appearances, such as admiring Christofer Ibrahim's improved physique, (TV: The Legend of Ruby Sunday [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) but he would prefer to sneak off without a farewell, (TV: The Giggle [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials (BBC One and Disney+, 2023)., Joy to the World [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2024 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) as they made him emotional. (TV: Empire of Death [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024)., Joy to the World [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2024 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) He strived to be respectful towards the customs of the lands he visited. (TV: 73 Yards [+]Steven Moffat and Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One, et al., 2024).) However, when presented with someone mysterious, the Doctor could get too caught up in their mystery to treat them as people. (TV: The Robot Revolution [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 15 (BBC One and Disney+, 2025).)
Enjoying the freedoms that came with his nomadic travels, (TV: Space Babies [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) he displayed an optimistic and adventurous outlook towards the future, (PROSE: "Heroes of Time" [+]Part of Whotopia: The Ultimate Guide to the Whoniverse, Simon Guerrier, Una McCormack and Jonathan Morris, BBC Books (2023).) having been freed from the emotional baggage of his past, following the Fourteenth Doctor's rehab on Earth, allowing him to be accepting of his losses, while fondly remembering his past loved ones. (TV: The Giggle [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).)
The Fifteenth Doctor did not seem to suffer from embarrassment, striding confidently around without trousers after bi-generating, (TV: The Giggle [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).) and ecstatically dancing to his own rhythm in a nightclub. (TV: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2023 (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).) This even stretched to his encounters with Rogue, openly flirting with him and revelling in the chance to commit "scandalous" actions in the Regency era together, despite the people of the time detesting them dancing together. (TV: Rogue [+]Kate Herron and Briony Redman, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
When he was subjected to racial prejudice from the Finetime community, despite having saved them from the mantraps, the Doctor, upon realising that they were racist, having previously not noticed their microaggressions, still asked them to let him save them. When they still rejected him out of fear they would be "contaminated" by him, the Doctor initially laughed off the whole situation, before erupting into a primal scream out of frustration that he wouldn't be able to convince them to come with him in the TARDIS simply due to his skin colour. (TV: Dot and Bubble [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) Similarly he expressed mild relief that it was late at night when visiting Miami in 1952, not wanting to have to deal with his and Belinda's violation of segregation laws. (TV: Lux) He later confided in Belinda that he felt a sense of peace when visiting places like Lagos, Nigeria, where he wasn't judged for his skin colour and just seen as a normal person, which she believed was one of the most human things he'd ever said. (TV: The Story & the Engine)
In a moment of self-reflection, he hesitated to invite Ruby Sunday aboard the TARDIS, thinking he was "bad luck", (TV: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2023 (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).) and later confessing to Kate Lethbridge-Stewart that he saw himself as someone who "bring[s] disaster" wherever he went. (TV: The Legend of Ruby Sunday [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
Wanting to "move on" without lingering, (TV: Boom [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) he believed that he was a man who was always moving and being positive, even when faced with tragedy, (TV: Rogue [+]Kate Herron and Briony Redman, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) doing his best to avoid seeing people again for fear of bringing harm to them. (TV: The Legend of Ruby Sunday [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) When Ruby tried to urge him to take some time after the loss of Rogue, the Doctor told her that he was forever moving onwards and upwards to new horizons. (TV: Rogue [+]Kate Herron and Briony Redman, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
The Fifteenth Doctor was a lover of music, believing that "without music, the human race [would go] sour." He was particularly a fan of the Beatles, Cilla Black, (TV: The Devil's Chord [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) and Kylie Minogue. (TV: Rogue [+]Kate Herron and Briony Redman, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) He would sometimes speak in a singing tone, (TV: Empire of Death [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) and would sing to himself when he needed to keep calm. (TV: Boom [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
He liked to learn new things, particularly new ways of looking at the universe, (TV: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2023 (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).) and also loved learning about new locations. (TV: Space Babies [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) He enjoyed skies "ripe with constellations." (TV: Rogue [+]Kate Herron and Briony Redman, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
He disliked having to wait. (TV: Joy to the World [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2024 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
He had a macabre sense of humour when infiltrating the Goblin ship in spite of the open risk of the Goblins eating him, (TV: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2023 (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).) and laughed at the fate of Alan Budd. (TV: The Robot Revolution [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 15 (BBC One and Disney+, 2025).) He was likewise so enthralled by the sight of the Goblin band that he overlooked that Lulubelle was about to be eaten by the Goblin King. (TV: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2023 (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).)
His favourite places in time and space included the 1960s (TV: Untitled [+]BBC Idents series 14 (BBC One, 2024).) and Wales, (TV: 73 Yards [+]Steven Moffat and Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One, et al., 2024).) and his favourite species included the Ood. (TV: Empire of Death [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) He also held a respect for the Silurians. (TV: Joy to the World [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2024 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
He retained his eleventh incarnation's enjoyment for fish fingers and custard, (TV: Boom [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) and took his coffee with fresh milk. (TV: Joy to the World [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2024 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
He would abolish those who used their faith to justify their rash actions in the absence of proof, but admitted his dislike for faith did not mean he would belittle it. (TV: Boom [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
He believed uniqueness was a superpower, (TV: Space Babies [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) and thought songs about soldiers "should be sad." He felt that life was defined by death, with "only the best part[s]" surviving when someone "melt[ed] away". (TV: Boom [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
While he was normally fearless, (TV: Space Babies [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) the Fifteenth Doctor feared the powers of the Pantheon of Discord, reacting with terror when he realised Maestro was one of "the gods", struggling to hold on to hope of stopping them, even belittling his victory over the Toymaker as an act of pure chance. However, he was able to regain his nerve against Maestro for Ruby's sake (TV: The Devil's Chord [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) and talk down to Sutekh when he gained the upper hand. (TV: Empire of Death [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
Seeing himself as a representation of life, the Fifteenth Doctor believed that killing his enemies would make him "a monster", (TV: Empire of Death [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) though he would express joy in making his foes suffer if they harmed those close to him. (TV: Rogue [+]Kate Herron and Briony Redman, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
The Fifteenth Doctor took pride in his status as a time traveller, taking offence when Ruby called the goblin's time travellers, telling her that their time-surfing capabilities were a mere "bimble" in comparison to "cool" time travellers like himself. (TV: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2023 (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).) He playfully laughed off UNIT's attempt to create a time window as "rough" compared to his form of time travel with the TARDIS, (TV: The Legend of Ruby Sunday [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) but marvelled at the Time Hotel's operations. (TV: Joy to the World [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2024 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
He knew to be careful when it came to meddling with time, even forbidding himself and Ruby from visiting her abandonment at the church on Ruby Road due to its status as an important fixed point in time, despite their shared fascinated by the mystery of the event, (TV: Space Babies [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) and knew it could be dangerous to visit himself in the past. (TV: The Devil's Chord [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
While his immediate predecessors would dwell on lives lost in a crisis, the Fifteenth Doctor knew he "[couldn't] save everyone" and instead chose to move on. (TV: The Giggle [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).) He also chose not to dwell on his tragedies, lightly telling Ruby Sunday he had no family left, and then quickly resuming the task at hand. (TV: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2023 (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).) However, when telling her of Gallifrey in the comfort of his TARDIS, the Doctor was more wistful. (TV: Space Babies [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) He also reflected sombrely on the abandonment and adoption of the Timeless Child when seeing Carla Sunday shower Ruby with affection, (TV: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2023 (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).) and also tried to warn Ruby that her reunion with her biological mother, Louise Miller, could end negatively, specifically pointing out how she never tried to find Ruby and how "unfair" it could be on Louise for Ruby to approach her after using time travel to find her, though he was happy when the reunion was embraced by Louise. (TV: Empire of Death [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).)
He could get caught up in his excitement to the point that he risked sabotaging his own efforts (TV: The Giggle [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).) and get too into the thrill of explaining a situation to take account of how he was scaring his audience, (TV: Space Babies [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) and also fail to notice when he was in danger until it was in front of him. (COMIC: Mancopolis [+]Alan Barnes, DWM Comics (Panini Magazines, 2024).)
While he moved to protect bystanders from harm, he was not above criticising their choices or begrudging the circumstances he found himself in. (TV: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2023 (BBC One and Disney+, 2023)., Boom [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who series 14 (BBC One and Disney+, 2024).) Even though he was dismissive of the policeman that questioned him regarding an accident with an inflatable snowman, the Doctor stopped during his exit to reassure the man that his girlfriend would accept his marriage proposal, because his decision to buy an engagement ring before the sales was proof of character, and happily wished him a "Merry Christmas" before he left. (TV: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Christmas Special 2023 (BBC One and Disney+, 2023).)

However, believing them to be "off-the-peg", he soon chose an outfit of his own after pondered on wearing a frilly shirt and a scarf.

Behind the scenes[]
The Fourteenth Doctor?[]
The BBC announcement revealing Ncuti Gatwa's casting as the Doctor was worded ambiguously, with Gatwa's Doctor only described as "the new Doctor", without explicitly stating him to be the Fourteenth Doctor, or even the successor to Jodie Whittaker's Thirteenth Doctor.[1][2] Nevertheless, numerous news outlets presumed that Gatwa's incarnation would be the Fourteenth Doctor and incorrectly reported as such.[3][4][5][6]
However, Whittaker's final episode, The Power of the Doctor [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Centenary Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022)., depicted the Thirteenth Doctor regenerating into a new incarnation once again portrayed by Tenth Doctor actor David Tennant. After Power of the Doctor's broadcast, Russell T Davies confirmed that Tennant's new incarnation was the Fourteenth Doctor, and that Gatwa's would follow as the Fifteenth.[7]
Strangely, Gatwa was again incorrectly identified as the Fourteenth Doctor by the Channel 5 documentary Doctor Who: 60 Years of Secrets and Scandals which aired on 25 November 2023, shortly following the premiere of The Star Beast [+]Russell T Davies, adapted from Doctor Who and the Star Beast (Pat Mills and John Wagner), Doctor Who 2023 specials (BBC One, 2023)., the first full episode of Tennant's run as the Fourteenth Doctor.
The first black Doctor?[]
With the casting of Rwandan-Scottish actor Ncuti Gatwa, the Fifteenth Doctor became the first "main" ordinal incarnation of the Doctor in the programme's history to be played by a black man.[3][8] However, other black Doctors have previously appeared in the Doctor Who universe;
- Comedian Lenny Henry was the very first non-white actor to portray the Doctor, having portrayed a parodical Seventh Doctor in an untitled skit [+]Lenny Henry, The Lenny Henry Show (1985). from an episode of The Lenny Henry Show broadcast on 3 October 1985. Upon Gatwa's casting in 2022, Henry praised the development, stating; "A lot of black fans have been looking at our watches for a while! More power to Russell T Davies."[8]
- Russell T Davies's novelisation [+]Russell T Davies, adapted from Rose (Russell T Davies), Target novelisations (Target Books, 2018). of Rose [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005)., released on 5 April 2018, featured a photograph in conspiracy theorist Clive Finch's possession that showed a tall, bald, black female Doctor who wielded a flaming sword.
- The 2020 episode Fugitive of the Judoon [+]Vinay Patel and Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 12 (BBC One, 2020). introduced the "Fugitive Doctor", a mysterious, previously unknown incarnation of the Doctor, portrayed by Black actor Jo Martin. This previously unseen incarnation was a predecessor to the First Doctor, much like the eight other "pre-Hartnell" Doctors introduced in the 1976 serial The Brain of Morbius [+]Robin Bland, Doctor Who season 13 (BBC1, 1976)..
- Within the same series as Fugitive, several of the Timeless Children — seven youthful incarnations of the Doctor — were played by Black child actors, including most notably the first.
- At the time of production for Silence in the Library [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who series 4 (BBC One, 2008). and Forest of the Dead [+]Steven Moffat, Doctor Who series 4 (BBC One, 2008)., Steven Moffat secretly intended Doctor Moon to be a future Doctor, meaning that Colin Salmon might have been the first Black actor to portray a main ordinal Doctor, although it is unclear if this future incarnation would've been given an ordinal.
- In Showrunner Showdown in 2020, Moffat commented that he thought a version of this idea could still work and Russell T Davies revealed that he had always thought of the character as the Doctor as well while watching the episodes.
- As of 2024, this backstory has never been incorporated for the character in any later work of fiction.
- In addition, various "body swaps" have been depicted wherein the Doctor temporarily possesses the body of a BAME individual, such as Daniel Anthony's Clyde Langer being possessed by the Eleventh Doctor in Death of the Doctor [+]Russell T Davies, The Sarah Jane Adventures series 4 (CBBC, 2010)., and Damian Lynch's Benjamin Chikoto, who the Third Doctor uses as a means to communicate in Ghost in the Machine [+]Jonathan Morris, The Companion Chronicles (Big Finish Productions, 2013)..
A queer incarnation?[]
Gatwa has the distinction of being the first openly queer actor to portray a mainline ordinal incarnation of the Doctor,[9] though queer actor Mark Gatiss previously portrayed a non-ordinal Doctor in the parody skit The Web of Caves [+]Error: Code 2 - no data stored in variables, cache or SMW., while queer actor Geoffrey Bayldon portrayed an alternate universe Doctor in the Doctor Who Unbound audio series.
Co-star Neil Patrick Harris has described Gatwa as "the first gay Doctor".[10] The question of which incarnation constitutes the "first gay Doctor" is a matter of debate; the friendship between the Thirteenth Doctor and Yasmin Khan became romantically tinged towards the end of the Chris Chibnall era, though the pair never explicitly expressed their attraction to one another, while the Eighth Doctor was implied to be non-heterosexual in the Eighth Doctor Adventures series of novels, as was the Fourteenth Doctor just one episode prior to Gatwa's debut, who was surprised to discover that he found Isaac Newton "hot". Furthermore, many stories released in the 1990s and beyond reiterate that the Time Lords' concept of gender differs to that of humanity.
Appearances prior to his first full television story[]
The Fifteenth Doctor's first on-screen appearance.
Continuing the trend set by the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Doctors, the Fifteenth Doctor appeared multiple times in expanded media before his television debut.
- Interestingly, the Fifteenth Doctor's first appearance can be interpreted to have occurred technically before the Thirteenth Doctor's television debut in The Woman Who Fell to Earth [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who series 11 (BBC One, BBCA, Space and Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 2018).; in the 2017 poem Contents [+]James Goss, Now We Are Six Hundred (Harper Design, 2017)., an ambiguous future Doctor with short hair appeared, who rummaged through a chest looking for a new costume, settling on a hat and boots. As revealed on the Official Doctor Who Twitter account, the Fifteenth Doctor does indeed have very short hair, wears a bolero,[11] and boots.[12]
- Also of note, whilst not strictly a story in itself, was the Fifteenth Doctor's brief appearance, partially dressed in the Fourteenth Doctor's attire and asking "someone [to] tell [him] what the hell [was] going on here", in the televised preview for the 2023 specials immediately following the broadcast of The Power of the Doctor [+]Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who Centenary Special 2022 (BBC One, 2022)., which had ended with the Thirteenth Doctor's surprise regeneration into the Fourteenth Doctor. (The broadcast of The Giggle over a year later would reveal the context of this appearance as following the Fourteenth Doctor's bi-generation which took place at UNIT HQ, City of London, the appearance of which had been removed for the initial preview.)
- A definitely intentioned implicit appearance of the Fifteenth Doctor occurred in the audio drama The World Tree [+]Nick Slawicz, Short Trips (Big Finish Productions, 2022).. Whilst the text of the story was ambiguous as to which future Doctor appeared in it, Nick Slawicz, the story's author, confirmed that the intention was indeed that it was the Fifteenth Doctor who was the Doctor present in the conclusion of that story. Slawicz further explained that he didn't intend to make the future Doctor ambiguous, but needed to be vague on details as no costumes had been revealed for the Fifteenth Doctor at the time of the final draft of the story.[13]
- The pink-painted TARDIS that appeared as part of a cross-promotion exhibit [+]Doctor Who exhibits (BBC, 2023). with the 2023 film Barbie could be argued to be that of the Fifteenth Doctor, owing to the fact that Ncuti Gatwa also played a Ken in the film; Russell T Davies claimed the exhibit depicted genuine in-universe events.[14]
- The first explicit appearance of the Fifteenth Doctor was in the short story First Day of the Doctor [+]Paul Lang, Doctor Who The Official Annual 2024 (Penguin Group, 2023)., which depicted an obscured diary entry written by the Doctor shortly after his first adventure with Ruby Sunday.
- The Fifteenth Doctor's entry in the encyclopaedia Whotopia: The Ultimate Guide to the Whoniverse [+]Simon Guerrier, Una McCormack and Jonathan Morris, BBC Books (2023). was styled as an inner monologue of the Doctor, wherein he reflected on the new friends and foes in his life.
- Although not an appearance of the Fifteenth Doctor per se, Ncuti Gatwa appeared in-costume as the Doctor in a version of An Adventure in Space and Time [+]Mark Gatiss, An Adventure in Space and Time (BBC Two, 2013). broadcast on BBC Four on 23 November 2023 as part of William Hartnell's (David Bradley) premonition of the future of Doctor Who, replacing Matt Smith's role from the original version broadcast in 2013.
- In the illustrated edition of the novelisation [+]Russell T Davies, adapted from Rose (Russell T Davies), Target novelisations (Target Books, 2018). Edition: 2023 Illustrated Edition. of Rose [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005). released on 23 November 2023, photographs of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Doctors were added to Clive Finch's collection of photographs of the Doctor.
