"It's all I have.". "[28], On occasion, the Doctor uses other aliases, such as "John Smith". I think after the first regeneration a time lord can't have any more children, Susans mam or dad. [citation needed] The one exception, a photograph of him taken in 1912, wearing period gentleman's clothing, resembles the style of the Eighth Doctor. [52] Although listed in the on-screen credits for nearly twenty years as "Doctor Who" or "Dr Who", the Doctor is seldom called by that name in the programme, except in a tongue-in-cheek manner.
Would one of the incarnations want a family? And in "Listen," we discovered some version of the Doctor retreated to a barn on Gallifrey when he was a young boy, mostly because of night terrors. The Remnants continue, "We see what's hidden - even from yourself. In the programme, "the Doctor" is the alias assumed by a millennia-old alien called a Time Lord who travels through space and time in the TARDIS, frequently with companions. It could be Susan and this is what I have heard from most people. In the episode, "The Girl in the Fireplace" (2006) (written by Steven Moffat), the Doctor develops a romantic relationship with Madame de Pompadour, with whom he shares a passionate kiss. Archived genetic data, perhaps? In the 2007 Children in Need "Time Crash" special he states that he doesn't actually need glasses to see, but rather wears them to "look a bit clever", as did the Fifth, whom he meets in the special. [53], In the Big Finish audio adventure The Sirens of Time, the captain aboard a German U-boat assumes that he is English because of the way he pronounces his words: "So, you speak German ... but you speak it like an English gentleman. Similarly, the novel Lungbarrow reveals that the Doctor's name has been struck from the records of his family and therefore cannot be spoken. An essay in the About Time episode guides by Lawrence Miles and Tat Wood suggests that Time Lords are somehow exempt from the effect by their very nature. [16] The first format document for the programme that was to become Doctor Who – then provisionally titled The Troubleshooters – was written in March 1963 by C. E. Webber, a staff writer who had been brought in to help develop the project. In "It Takes You Away", the Doctor claims that she had seven grandmothers. The Doctor is the title character in the long-running BBC science fiction television programme Doctor Who. Which is why, in addition to everything else great about the new season, is just one more reason to keep watching. In the Fourth Doctor serial The Armageddon Factor,[29] the Doctor runs into a former classmate of his named Drax. In "Voyage of the Damned" (2007), the Tenth Doctor states that he is 903 years of age,[72] the first time since Time and the Rani that an exact number has been stated in dialogue; previously, the Master indicated the Doctor's age to be about 900 in "The Sound of Drums"/"Last of the Time Lords" (2007) story arc. The First Doctor referred to his third incarnation as a "Dandy", and his second incarnation as a clown. The Eighth Doctor comments at one point in the television movie that the anaesthesia interfered with the regenerative process, and that he had been "dead too long", accounting for his initial amnesia. Like many other alien species in the programme, the Doctor is able to sense when their own species is within proximity through an inherent telepathic connection. The Fourth Doctor was awarded an honorary degree from St. Cedd's College, Cambridge in 1960. After crash-landing the TARDIS, the Doctor collapsed and remained unconscious for most of the next fifteen hours ("The Christmas Invasion"). In the audio plays involving the Eighth Doctor, his companion Charley confesses her romantic feelings for him in Zagreus, but although he admits he loves her at the time, it is a highly dramatic moment and the relationship does not progress beyond the platonic. In "New Earth" (2006), Rose's body is temporarily inhabited by Cassandra, who kisses the Doctor romantically. [18] Within the narrative, these changes were explained as regeneration, a biological process which heals a Time Lord when their incarnation is about to die. Alternatively, in the novel Legacy of the Daleks, Susan and her husband David adopt three children whom they name David Campbell Jr, Ian and Barbara; named after David himself, Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright, respectively. In his first appearance in "Rose" (2005), the Doctor looked in a mirror and commented on the size of his ears, suggesting that the regeneration may have happened shortly prior to the episode, or that he has not examined his reflection recently. This would suggest that the Timeless Child is the Doctor as a child, before becoming a Time Lord and certainly before any regenerations.
An elderly woman on Gallifrey died and was shrouded in veils and surrounded by flies, giving the Doctor recurring nightmares which the confession dial in "Heaven Sent" would later visualise to torment him. He had his granddaughter Susan travel with him. [63][citation needed]. It is implied in "The Timeless Children" that Martin's Doctor was a previous incarnation that had been erased from the Doctor's memory by the Division. The Virgin New Adventure Zamper establishes that the Chelonians refer to him as "Interfering Idiot". Nothing’s ever an accident.
Throughout series three (2007), companion Martha Jones pines for the Doctor's affection following a kiss between them which was only used as a "genetic transfer" to distract their pursuers. In "The Last of the Time Lords," we found out the Doctor and the Master were friends as children at the Time Lord Academy on Gallifrey.

The Tenth and Fifth Doctors met in the TARDIS in the mini-episode "Time Crash", which aired on 16 November 2007 as part of the BBC's annual Children in Need appeal. [citation needed].
In the early serials The Edge of Destruction and The Sensorites, it appeared that the First Doctor had only a single heart. Which begs the question: Could the timeless child refer to the Doctor's own child, someone who presumably could have eventually sired Susan? [citation needed] In the 2008 Christmas episode, The Next Doctor, the Tenth Doctor discovers an info stamp originally held by the Cybermen, which includes images of all his past selves. Cartmel wished to restore the character's "awe, mystery and strength" and make him "once again more than a mere chump of a Time Lord" – an idea the media dubbed the "Cartmel Masterplan". Davies also said that after Eccleston's accent, he did not want Tennant "touring the regions" with a Scottish one,[note 7] and so asked Tennant to affect the same accent he used for the earlier BBC period drama Casanova. She even takes him away to "dance", but how far the metaphor (coined in the episode "The Doctor Dances") is taken is not seen on screen. The outcast…abandoned and unknown.”. That "Timeless Child" could produce a child which would be either 100% or 50% Time Lord. In the original programme, with the exception of the change from Troughton to Pertwee, regeneration usually occurred when the previous Doctor was near "death". Later she resolves to study archaeology so that she can encounter the Doctor again. Episodes written by Steven Moffat have continued to hint at the Doctor's romantic capacity: his stories during the Russell T Davies tenure as showrunner included the admission of a sex life in "The Doctor Dances" and the romance with Madame de Pompadour in "The Girl in the Fireplace", past marriages in "Blink", and the introduction of recurring character River Song in the 2008 episodes "Silence in the Library"/"Forest of the Dead", who indicates she is a lover of the Doctor.

To escape a civil war with Rassilon, the Other throws himself into the loom system, where he is disintegrated and later woven into the Doctor. Lungbarrow portrays the Doctor as being one of 45 cousins grown from his house's genetic loom as an adult. During the first two seasons he travelled with his granddaughter, Susan Foreman, who has since been referred to occasionally and who returned in The Five Doctors.
