The Doctors Orders

---

Because of this, you will forfeit the 19,XP that you would otherwise gain if you entered via the alternate route; hence if you have Lohse in your party, it is better to enter via the alternate route. Otherwise, if Lohse was never in your party, you can choose to sign a contract with the doctor, which will change the ending as listed below. If you choose not to sign the contract, he will attack you. In any case, if you choose to fight the Doctor, he is a weak opponent in his human form, so as long as you go first, preferably with high Wits, you can finish him off instantly before he transforms.

The Doctor now has a scripted 10, Initiative value that is not possible to go ahead of. However, depending on whether you snuffed out the thousands of candles at the end with Malady, he will either be weakened, or not. Also, if you do not kill him on the first turn, he will transform into his true form, the demon Adramahlikh. Regardless of whether you snuffed out the candles or not, Adramahlikh will always have around 11k health, nearly 18k physical armor, and 21k magical armor.

Below is a comparison of his weakened and non-weakened forms:. Needless to say, if you wanted to take advantage of weakening him by snuffing out his candles, you will have to kill him before he transforms. As such, if you cannot finish him off before his turn, then make sure to disable him with some sort of status like stun or frozen. It also bears mentioning that throwing a deathfog crate on him will not affect him or his nurses. When killed, the Doctor and his 6 nurses sometimes, the nurse at the counter may be too far away to engage you in combat will grant ,XP each, resulting in a whopping grand total of 1,,XP.

Killing the Doctor will also complete this quest, awarding you an additional ,XP. However, it is important to note that for maximum XP gains, you actually want the Doctor to transform into Adramahlikh, and you absolutely do not want to snuff any of the candles to weaken him.

As an unweakened Adramahlikh, he will summon 4 Nemesis monsters to aid him, and each Nemesis monster will award ,XP when killed. Because of the huge number of enemies and their tendency to crowd near Adrahamhlikh for some reason, a Thunderstorm spell is extremely effective in this regard; it will constantly stun and damage the vast number of enemies every turn, making the fight easy and giving you tons of free XP. If you can use the Apotheosis spell, the fight becomes even easier as you will be able to use powerful Area-of-Effect spells like Pyroclastic Eruption and Meteor Storm without worrying about source.

If not, spells like Superconductor and, to a lesser extent, Supernova, will do their job just fine. If you have Lohse in your party, though, things get a little more complicated because if you take too long to kill Adramahlikh, Adramahlikh will use demonic possession to take control of Lohse and she will be permanently enslaved, leaving your party forever.

The obvious solution to this is to kill Adramahlikh quickly but this may not always be possible due to his high armor values and perseverance skill. Also, running away, teleporting away, or teleporting to a waypoint all will not work, as the demonic effect is scripted to take control of her wherever she may be. Thus, the simplest solution to prevent Lohse from becoming possessed is to make sure she is dead; once she is dead, Adramahlikh will immediately stop channeling his Demonic Possession spell.

This can actually be used to great effect, since Adramahlikh wastes his turn each time by channelling the demonic possession spell. After he tries to channel it for a turn or so, simply kill off Lohse and his spell will be reset, rendering him unable to take control of Lohse. Then, during one of your other members' turn, cast resurrection on Lohse to revive her. The next time it's Adramahlikh's turn, he will try to channel his spell again, effectively wasting each of his turn. Of course, you can simply not bother with cheesing him and just concentrate on slaughtering them all without the help of Lohse - either way, it's not a terribly difficult fight, especially with Area-of-Effect spells.

Killing Adramahlikh in his demonic true form will net you a crazy ,XP, as opposed to a measly ,XP which you will get if you kill his pathetic human form. Thus, killing Adramahlikh, his 6 nurses, and 4 Nemesis monsters will net you an insane grand total of 1,, XP. Killing Adramahlikh also completes the quest, netting you an additional ,XP, so the total end result will be an absurd 1,, XP.

Once the Doctor is dead, speaking to Lohse at this point will cause her to rejoice at finally being free, and you can listen to her sing a special song. You can also cast Spirit Vision and talk to the spirits of the nurses, learning that they used to be people who hunted down the Doctor but failed and were subjugated to become his minions. Enter his cellar if you haven't already and you will find two of his poor prisoners. One of them will be Jahan, captured because he underestimated the Doctor. As mentioned before, if you speak to him at this point after killing the Doctor and completing this quest, you will receive no XP whatsoever.

Still, whatever the case may be, you can unlock the magically locked cabinets in the lower chamber area here and loot various unique items such as the Lord Ruaney and Kvyn's armor sets. Loot the area and leave. Shortly after leaving, an Elven Apparition will appear, thanking you and claiming to be the spirit of Eleanessa, the ancestor tree back in Bloodmoon Island.

She will reward you with a ghostly mace and a choice of Divine-quality loot. As a final word, if you look at Adramahlikh in his demon form, he actually looks like a female for some reason, despite talking like a male. The doctor throw me out.. Glead violating around at that door triggered a fight with the elf at the entrance desk, so i coud get back in: I dropped a 43, kg coin pouch full of barrels on the doctor. It was very effective. This is how I manage to turn this fight into a just the doctor by himself. You need two teleporters you can use teleport scrolls if you want.

First you get one character to teleport him out of his room and into the hallway this initiates a conversation with that character. While they are talking, use another character to keep teleporting the doctor until he is out of his house and onto the bridge. Now he's all by himself and you can initiate the fight there. I broke the barrel, got kicked out, and do not have Lohan. Is there anyway back in to kill him? I fought the nurses first by running back outside and fighting them in front of the house.

Anyone know how to get Angel and demon trophy? I've talked to the doctor and made a pact to share divinity with him. At the end boss, i beat braccus rex and the doctor didn't appereared. Not sure what went wrong. From what i read, he is supposed to appear after braccus die. If you gas Arx first then kill the doctor, the elven apparition will be dead and you can't complete the quest. How can I get into the black house again and kill the doctor after I was driven away at the first time.

I dont have the void fish scroll. The nemesis devourer ambush in Arx can help you quite a bit with exp, if you can deal with them. At level 20, each kill gives you about k. The thing is, wiping out a team of ambush early on will result in no more ambushes. For example, after killing all four nemesis during the ambush near the closed school, I was not ambushed near the lizard consulate nor at Kemm's backyard. I don't know if killing three nemesis and letting one escape will keep bringing ambush later on. If that was the case, then letting just one nemesis escape at each ambush except the last one of course will give you the maximum exp opportunity.

In the definitive edition he becomes invincible even if you have a charm-proof helmet on Lohse provided of course you did not snuff out the candles. I guess my current plan of action will be to dismiss Lohse and do the fight without her then have her re-join. He also added round-rimmed glasses that belonged to former companion Amy Pond. The Twelfth Doctor 's costume has been described as looking like a magician. The Doctor has occasionally expressed distaste and confusion about his own fashion choices in other incarnations.

The First Doctor referred to his third incarnation as a " Dandy ", and his second incarnation as a clown. Each regeneration to date has been worked into the continuing story, and most regenerations minus the Second-to-Third have been portrayed on-screen, in a handing over of the role. Before permanently dying, a Time Lord can regenerate twelve times for a total of thirteen incarnations. The Doctor's first Hartnell to Troughton , ninth Hurt to Eccleston , and thirteenth Smith to Capaldi regenerations occur due to natural causes — in all three cases the Doctor shows increasing signs of age, and comments that his body is "wearing a bit thin," though in the First Doctor's case this is apparently exacerbated by the energy drain from Mondas.

All of the other regenerations have been caused by external factors, such as radiation poisoning, infection or fatal injuries. In the original programme, with the exception of the change from Troughton to Pertwee, regeneration usually occurred when the previous Doctor was near "death". The changeover from McCoy to McGann was handled differently, with the Doctor actually dying and being dead for a time before regeneration occurred.

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. Kate Orman 's novel The Room with No Doors , set just before the regeneration, notes that this is one of the few regenerations in which the Doctor was not conscious and aware that he was dying. The Second Doctor Troughton , was the only Doctor whose regeneration was due to nothing more than a need to change his appearance.

He was not aged, in ill health nor mortally wounded at the end of The War Games Prior to his exile, the Time Lords deemed that his current appearance was too well known on Earth and therefore forced a "change of appearance" on him. This method of changing appearance was a source of early speculation that the Second and Third Doctor were actually the same incarnation since the second was never seen to truly "die" onscreen.

Continuity has since established that one of his allotted regenerations was indeed used up for this transition. The series began with the Ninth Doctor already regenerated and fully stabilised, with no explanation given. In his first appearance in "Rose" , 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.

In Doctor Who Confidential , Davies revealed his reasoning that, after such a long hiatus, a regeneration in the first episode would not just be confusing for new viewers but lack dramatic impact, as there would be no emotional investment in the character before he was replaced. The circumstances of the Eighth Doctor's regeneration were explored during the specials, with the revelation of the incarnation played by Hurt that existed between the Doctor's Eighth and Ninth incarnations. In the mini-episode " The Night of the Doctor ", a prelude to the 50th anniversary special " The Day of the Doctor ", it was revealed that the Eighth Doctor had been revived by the Sisterhood of Karn after dying in a spacecraft crash.

The Sisterhood offered him an elixir that enabled him to choose the characteristics of his next regeneration, and he opted for "a warrior"; the final scene of the mini-episode shows him regenerating not into the Ninth Doctor, as had been widely assumed, but into the War Doctor, played in the final scene of " The Name of the Doctor " by John Hurt.

Davies's novelisation of his debut episode " Rose " states that the Doctor's future incarnations include "a tall, bald black woman wielding a flaming sword" and "a young girl or boy in a hi-tech wheelchair with what looked like a robot dog at their side". It was established in The Deadly Assassin that a Time Lord can regenerate twelve times before permanently dying — a total of thirteen incarnations.

The 20th Anniversary special, the television film and the special " The Time of the Doctor " all confirm this with the latter showing that the Time Lords can circumvent the cap of 12 regenerations in total by giving a Time Lord another regeneration cycle. While many of the previous regeneration sequences were unique, the Doctor's regenerations of the revived programme were similar with each transition being an explosion of energy in a particularly violent fashion.

Time Lords used to have 13 lives. In " The Christmas Invasion " , it was stated the regenerative cycle creates a large amount of residual regeneration energy that suffuses the Time Lord's body. As demonstrated by the Tenth Doctor for the first time in that story, in the first fifteen hours of regeneration this energy is enough to even rapidly regrow a severed hand. In the case of the Doctor, his regenerations are usually a result of a previous incarnation sustaining mortal injury, though he can regenerate from old age and was once forced to regenerate by the Time Lords.

A common side effect the Doctor frequently experiences is a period of instability and partial amnesia following regeneration. Some post-regeneration experiences have been more difficult than others. The Sixth Doctor experienced extreme paranoia and flew into a murderous rage, nearly killing his companion The Twin Dilemma. The Eighth Doctor experienced amnesia due to the anaesthetics affecting his physiology Doctor Who television film.

While his regeneration first appeared to be smooth " The Parting of the Ways " , the Tenth Doctor began to experience spasms and became somewhat manic, frightening his companion as he pushed the TARDIS to dangerous extremes Children in Need mini-episode. The experience was traumatic enough to cause one of his hearts to temporarily stop beating. Three of these are initiated by Time Lords: The Eighth Doctor's regeneration apparently occurred a few hours after he had actually "died", leaving him with temporary amnesia due to his body's adverse reaction to earth medicines.

In " Journey's End ", the Tenth Doctor manages to avert his own regeneration by using some of the energy to heal himself, then channeling the remaining energy into his severed hand, thus retaining his appearance and personality. That regenerative energy was a key point in a "human—Time Lord biological metacrisis" inadvertently caused by Donna Noble that creates the Meta-Crisis Doctor while she obtains a Time Lord intellect. Later in the series, during the events of " The Time of the Doctor " the Eleventh Doctor revealed that it was considered a full regeneration; he just kept the same face due to "vanity issues", and that he was now in his final 13th life given that the Tenth Doctor counted as two regenerations and the revelation of the existence of the War Doctor, this made a total of 12 regenerations.

However, during the same episode, the Doctor is given a new cycle of regenerations by the Time Lords, allowing him to regenerate for the thirteenth time into the Twelfth Doctor , with the Twelfth Doctor " Kill the Moon " and Rassilon " Hell Bent " each expressing uncertainty about how many regenerations the Doctor now has. Over the years, different writers and production teams have introduced their own twists to the Doctor's character, sometimes as part of a grand creative reinvention; others, out of narrative convenience or outside pressures.

Without one driving vision to maintain continuity, newer details may occasionally seem to contradict earlier ones. Other details — sometimes significant ones — are later ignored. It was not until the Third Doctor serial Spearhead from Space that the programme's then writers came up with the concept that the Doctor has two hearts.

The tie-in novel The Man in the Velvet Mask states incorporating an explanation for the discrepancy from fan lore that the Doctor did not grow his second heart until his regeneration into the Second Doctor. During his first regeneration, the Doctor's clothes save for his cloak and ring, both of which quickly thereafter fall off changed with his body The Power of the Daleks. On all subsequent regenerations the new Doctor generally continues to wear the clothing in which he regenerated until he selects a new outfit though the regeneration from the Fourth to the Fifth Doctor included a change of footwear.

In The Brain of Morbius produced shortly before The Deadly Assassin , a sequence of faces displayed during a mental battle between the Fourth Doctor and Morbius imply that the Doctor had at least eight incarnations prior to the First Doctor. This is contradicted by multiple dialogue references throughout the programme particularly in The Three Doctors , Mawdryn Undead and The Five Doctors as well as the fact that the Doctor has regenerated nine times since then as confirmed in " The Time of the Doctor ".

Producer Philip Hinchcliffe has said, "We tried to get famous actors for the faces of the Doctor. But because no one would volunteer, we had to use backroom boys. And it is true to say that I attempted to imply that William Hartnell was not the first Doctor. Due to time travel, it is possible for the Doctor's various incarnations to encounter and interact with each other, although supposedly prohibited by the First Law of Time as stated in The Three Doctors or permitted only in the "gravest of emergencies" The Five Doctors.

In the — television programme, such encounters were seen on three occasions: In Day of the Daleks , the Third Doctor and Jo Grant very briefly met their future selves due to a glitch during a temporal experiment the serial was supposed to end with the same scene depicted from the perspective of the "other" Doctor and Jo, but was excised because it was anticlimactic.

This marks the first time the Doctor has met a previous incarnation since the programme's revival. Although the scene aired outside the programme itself, it was established as taking place between the events of " Last of the Time Lords " and " Voyage of the Damned ". Watson and thus the other man is never expressly identified.

The Virgin Missing Adventures novel Cold Fusion is a unique twist on the traditional multi-Doctor story as it focuses on the Fifth Doctor's adventures before he meets the Seventh, where normal stories treat the later Doctor as 'the' Doctor. In it, he tries to reconcile the continuity errors of the movie, while having the Eighth Doctor meet and interact with each of his previous selves, although the Eighth Doctor visited each incarnation one at a time rather than all eight of them appearing in the same place.

Later Eighth Doctor novel Interference — Book One sees the Eighth Doctor briefly meeting the Third, although this occasion results in the Doctor unwittingly changing his own history so that the Third Doctor will regenerate ahead of schedule A change that is later 'reset' in the novel The Ancestor Cell thanks to the TARDIS taking action to preserve the original history. In the Past Doctor Adventures , the novel Heart of TARDIS features the Second and Fourth Doctors dealing with two different ends of the same crisis, with the Second Doctor trapped in a dimensional anomaly created by a government experiment and the Fourth recruited to stop the experiment destroying the world, but although they are at one point both in the Second Doctor's TARDIS, the Fourth Doctor and his companion hide on the opposite side of the console from his past self and the Second is never aware of his future self.

In Wolfsbane , like in Heart of TARDIS , the Fourth and Eighth Doctors deal with separate ends of the same crisis, the Eighth stopping the threat in November while the Fourth ties up loose ends in December of the same year, but the two incarnations never meet directly, and due to the Eighth Doctor's current amnesia none of the other characters realize that the two Doctors are the same person. Physical contact between two versions of the same person in the programme can lead to an energy discharge that shorts out the "time differential".

This is apparently due to a fictional principle known as the Blinovitch Limitation Effect , and was seen when the past and future versions of Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart touched hands in Mawdryn Undead. The Doctor's incarnations do not appear to suffer this effect when encountering each other and shaking hands. This has never been explained. 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.

Rose Tyler is seen holding an infant version of herself in "Father's Day", with no visible energy discharge, but the contact does allow the Reapers to enter the church in which the Doctor and several others are taking refuge.

While doing a live commentary on the episode at the Bristol Comic Expo , episode author Paul Cornell said that this is supposed to be due to the Blinovitch Limitation Effect, even though it is not mentioned by name. He suggested that the lack of a spark may be down to the fact that the Time Lords were no longer around to manage anomalies. In that story, she does not appear to realise that the Fifth Doctor is a later incarnation of the third and fourth Doctors with whom she had previously travelled.

In "Time Crash", the Tenth Doctor remembers and reproduces what he saw himself do when he was the Fifth Doctor, a fact that seems to surprise the Fifth Doctor himself. Russell T Davies has expressed a dislike for stories in which multiple incarnations of the Doctor meet, stating that he believes they focus more on the actors than on the story itself. Before that, the only references to past incarnations from to have been in the aforementioned episode "School Reunion" in which the Doctor acknowledges having regenerated "half a dozen times" since last seeing Sarah Jane and in drawings that the Doctor who has temporarily become human to hide from the Family Of Blood makes based on dreams of his other life in the episode " Human Nature ".

This is a clear affirmation of his past, and that the then current incarnation was indeed the Tenth. This was reaffirmed in the episode " The Eleventh Hour ", when the Doctor asks the Atraxi whether this planet is protected. The Atraxi then shows 10 images, one of each Doctor from the first to the tenth, with the eleventh walking through the image of the tenth at the end. This is confirmed in the episode " The Lodger ", when the Doctor, explaining to Craig who and what he is, points at his face and says, "Eleventh.

Because each new Doctor is different from his previous incarnations, how their personalities interact varies when two or more different incarnations encounter each other. When the Tenth Doctor effortlessly averts the impending Belgium-sized hole in the Universe caused by this temporal anomaly, he reveals having known what to do because he saw himself do it as the Fifth Doctor and remembered.

He goes on to tell the Fifth Doctor how fond he was of his incarnation and how he influences the current Doctor's personality. During the Virgin New Adventures , the Seventh Doctor was occasionally at odds with his subconscious memory of his previous incarnation as his memory of his past self became increasingly associated with the Valeyard , his dark, future self, but he eventually accepted his dark side and 'reformed' his memory of his former self, although it was never established how the two Doctors would interact if they had met in person.

In all stories, [ clarification needed ] multiple versions of the Eleventh Doctor from different timelines meet and carry on brief conversations. Additionally, the Eleventh Doctor encountered an artificial though physically and mentally identical copy of himself in " The Almost People "; fought against "Mister Clever", an artificial personality generated out of his own by the Cybermen in " Nightmare in Silver "; and was pitted against "The Dream Lord", a manifestation of his self-loathing and anger, in " Amy's Choice ".

Later, the Eleventh Doctor entered his own timeline in " The Name of the Doctor " to rescue his companion Clara Oswald, and while there observed a past incarnation portrayed by John Hurt , one whose actions caused him to be unworthy of the name "Doctor" and viewed as shameful by his future selves. The Tenth and Eleventh Doctors are generally amicable towards each other, despite bickering, [60] although the War Doctor treats them both as behaving too childishly. Despite this, he does come to admire both of his future incarnations, working together with them and eventually choosing to go through with the act of destroying Gallifrey because he knows it will help them become what they are.

The Tenth and Eleventh are initially leery of the War Doctor, the Eleventh describing him as the "one life I have tried very hard to forget. Fortunately, with influence from the Moment — a sentient Time Lord weapon that brought about their meeting — the three are able to stumble upon an alternative: The three are then joined by the other nine previous Doctors and the future Twelfth Doctor Peter Capaldi in this act the War, Tenth and Eleventh Doctors having evidently contacted them off-screen.

The Eleventh Doctor is shown to have memories of these events, but only recalls them after they have begun. This is explained in dialogue as an instability in the timeline, which causes the War and Tenth Doctors to forget their meeting, thus maintaining the continuity in which the Doctors from the War Doctor onwards believe themselves to have destroyed Gallifrey. On a few occasions, previous Doctors have returned to the role, usually guest-starring with the incumbent:.

In early production documents, the Doctor was said to be years old, although this was never stated on screen. The intention at that time was that regeneration had turned back the Doctor's clock, making him younger both in appearance and in biological age. Since the Doctor's age had never previously been given, Earth years became a starting point onto which further years would be progressively added as the series continued and the character lived out his further incarnations. The Third Doctor implied in Doctor Who and the Silurians and in The Mind of Evil that he had a lifetime that covered "several thousand years".

While the Doctor's age has never been a known quantity, these numbers are the most difficult to reconcile with the rest of the series. By the time of The Brain of Morbius , the Fourth Doctor was stated to be years old [63] "something like years" in the prior Pyramids of Mars. When the Doctor encounters his old friend Drax in The Armageddon Factor , Drax says it has been years since their time together at the Academy, suggesting only that Drax was years younger, but implying nothing about the Doctor's age, since it could have been a different amount of time for him.

Drax implies that the Doctor got his doctorate after that. In Revelation of the Daleks , the Sixth Doctor said that he was "a year-old Time Lord", and in Time and the Rani , the Seventh Doctor's age was , the same as villainous Time Lady the Rani in both serials, the Doctor's age is stated in dialogue. In Remembrance of the Daleks , the Seventh Doctor said that he had " years' experience" rewiring alien equipment.

Amongst the works of spin-off prose fiction, in the Fourth Doctor comic "The Time Witch", after the Doctor and Sharon cross through the split in time which ages them four years, the Doctor says "I shall still think of myself as The Sixth Doctor celebrated his st birthday in the short story "Brief Encounter: A Wee Deoch an..? The Eighth Doctor spent nearly a century on Earth during a story arc spread over several novels, and around years asleep in The Sleep of Reason by Martin Day.

In the Big Finish Productions audio play Orbis , the Eighth Doctor says that he has spent years living on the planet Orbis since the previous play. He states that he lost count of his true age long ago, and rounds it down, taking into account the varying lengths of a "year" in different locations. In the series, the Ninth Doctor's age is stated in publicity materials as years, [64] and in " Aliens of London ", he says, "Nine hundred years of time and space, and I've never been slapped by someone's mother.

He restates this in " The Empty Child " as "Nine hundred years of phone box travel and it's the only thing left that surprises me". In "The Sound of Drums", the Master ages the Doctor by years using his laser screwdriver , leaving the Doctor with an elderly appearance. In " Last of the Time Lords ", the Master states to the population of Earth that the Doctor is nine hundred years old, and informs his subjects he will show them the Doctor's true form, suspending his ability to regenerate.

The Master proceeds to age the Doctor further with his laser screwdriver, reducing him to a tiny, wrinkled being, subsequently imprisoned inside a bird cage until reverted to his current form with the help of Martha Jones, 15 satellites and the entire population of Earth. However, as the resolution of that story is by means of a reversal of time, there is a suggestion that the events of that year never actually took place, and yet are present in the Doctor's memory.

By the end of series six, the Doctor has reached the age of , the older version that appeared in " The Impossible Astronaut ". The next series ages the Doctor further, with " A Town Called Mercy " establishing that he is now approximately 1, years old. In the 50th anniversary special, " The Day of the Doctor " , the Eleventh Doctor is queried about his age by his younger self, to which he replies "I dunno, I lose track. Twelve hundred and something I think, unless I'm lying.

I can't remember if I'm lying about my age — that's how old I am. In the next episode, " The Time of the Doctor ", the Doctor spends centuries defending the planet Trenzalore. After one interval, the Doctor states he has lived there for years. Another long interval passes, during which the Doctor's age is not given, but he physically ages considerably before regenerating into the Twelfth Doctor.

The e-book Tales of Trenzalore states the Doctor spent years on Trenzalore. In the following episode, " Deep Breath " , the Twelfth Doctor states that he is over 2, years old. However, writer Steven Moffat has said, "He's lying. How could he know, unless he's marking it on a wall?

He could be 8, years old, he could be a million. He has no clue. The calendar will give him no clues. The very first episode of the television programme established that Susan Foreman is the Doctor's granddaughter, but neither Susan nor the Doctor ever speak of her parents. The First Doctor did flirt with — and was accidentally engaged to — the character Cameca in The Aztecs Although this was part of a plot to get the TARDIS back, there was a hint of mutual attraction in Hartnell's performance especially as he is ultimately unable to leave behind the love token she has given him.

As the programme progressed and grew more popular among children, the Doctor was firmly established as an avuncular figure to his younger companions, [ according to whom? Jo kisses the Doctor on the cheek before she departs, the second time this form of affection had been shown on screen the Second Doctor having similarly kissed Zoe in The War Games. A television commercial broadcast in Australia for Prime Computers showed Baker and Ward romancing each other, in character as the Doctor and Romana, with the Doctor prompted by the computer proposing marriage. Beginning in the programme has suggested that the Doctor has romantic feelings towards different people.

This shift is satirised in " The Day of the Doctor " wherein the War Doctor , having witnessed a passionate kiss exchanged between his tenth incarnation and Queen Elizabeth I, asks of the eleventh , "Is there a lot of this in the future? The series has played with the idea of a romantic relationship between the Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler , with many characters assuming they were a couple.

Rose's boyfriend Mickey Smith clearly views the Doctor as a romantic rival for whom Rose has left him. Each shows flashes of jealousy when the other flirts with other characters. In the same episode, the Doctor kisses Rose Tyler to get the time vortex energy that was killing her back into the TARDIS, subsequently "killing" him and causing his next regeneration. You ask the Lady Mary Wortley Montagu. The Doctor's relationship with Rose intensifies after he regenerates into the Tenth Doctor.

In " New Earth " , Rose's body is temporarily inhabited by Cassandra , who kisses the Doctor romantically. This is one of the few scenes in the entire programme where the Doctor is kissed romantically by his companion. In " School Reunion " , the arrival of the Doctor's previous companion Sarah Jane Smith and his reaction to seeing her again prompts jealousy and worry from Rose, and Sarah all but admits that she has long been in love with the Doctor. In the episode, " The Girl in the Fireplace " written by Steven Moffat , the Doctor develops a romantic relationship with Madame de Pompadour , with whom he shares a passionate kiss and a strong romantic connection.

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. Rose does not openly exhibit jealousy towards Madame de Pompadour. In the novel The Stone Rose , by Jacqueline Rayner , the Doctor kisses Rose after she saves him from being petrified, although it is described as "a kiss of gratitude and joy and unspeakable pleasure at being alive". In " The Impossible Planet " , the Doctor and Rose share an awkward moment when they have to consider settling down in one time period and Rose suggests they do so together.

She later plants a kiss for good luck on the Doctor's spacesuit prior to his descent into the pit. He begins to reply, but the message is cut off, and he is unable to reciprocate; in the episode's audio commentary, executive producer Julie Gardner had stated that "he absolutely was going to say it Executive producer Russell T Davies states in Doctor Who Confidential that the reunion between the Doctor and Rose in the episode " The Stolen Earth " is a parody of romantic film conventions, because the heightened emotional content is abruptly interrupted by the Doctor being shot by a Dalek.

In the next episode, " Journey's End ", Rose challenges the Doctor to say what he didn't get to say before, to which he replies, "Does it need saying? Gardner commented in Confidential that although the audience cannot hear, it is obvious that he is saying "I love you". Throughout series three , 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. She is distraught when, temporarily turned into a human in " Human Nature ", the Doctor's human persona, John Smith, falls in love with nurse Joan Redfern.

She admits in " The Family of Blood " to Smith that "[the Doctor] is everything to me, and he doesn't even look at me, but I don't care, because I love him to bits, and I hope to God he won't remember me saying this". The Doctor tells Joan he is capable of everything that Smith was, but she rejects his attempt to establish a relationship with her as the Doctor. In the following episode, " Blink ", he refers to being "rubbish at weddings, especially my own". Martha eventually quits as the Doctor's full-time companion in the series finale " Last of the Time Lords " because she is in love with the Doctor and he seems unable or unwilling to reciprocate; she received similar commiseration from Jack Harkness , who is also infatuated with him, in " The Sound of Drums ".

Subsequently, in the series, the Doctor's friendship with Donna Noble is strengthened, after the infatuations with Martha and Rose, by the knowledge that she has no romantic interest in him whatsoever. Davies' last clear allusion to the Doctor's romantic capacity occurs at the beginning of his last episode as showrunner, The End of Time. The Tenth Doctor claims to have married "Good Queen Bess, and let me tell you, her nickname is no longer The marriage, which is referred to as "a mistake", explained Queen Elizabeth's reaction to seeing the Tenth Doctor in an earlier episode, " The Shakespeare Code ".

Subsequent episodes have alluded to this romantic, possibly sexual relationship. This relationship, including the marriage and the "mistake" which led to it a case of mistaken identity involving a Zygon commander in , eventually unfolds on screen in " The Day of the Doctor ". Episodes written by Steven Moffat have continued to hint at the Doctor's romantic capacity: In his tenure as showrunner — , the series continued to imply that the Doctor will have a relationship with, and perhaps marry, River Song.

Additionally, Moffat has companion Amy Pond attempt to seduce the Doctor in " Flesh and Stone ", although he expresses shock at the idea, protesting that she was human. In her appearances, River continues to hint at a relationship with the Doctor in her relative past and his relative future.

When River kisses the Doctor in " Day of the Moon ", it becomes clear that whereas this is the Doctor's first kiss with her, it is to be her last with him and that she shall soon be heading to The Library where she dies. Robinson and kisses the Doctor; the first time in an attempt to kill him, the second to save his life. Later she resolves to study archaeology so that she can encounter the Doctor again. Because she loves him, she refuses to shoot him in "The Wedding of River Song", creating an alternate timeline.

In this world, the Doctor marries River in a very brief ceremony witnessed by Amy and Rory, so that he may allow time to return to normal and go to his death, while secretly disclosing to River that he will fake his death. Although the alternate timeline is erased, all future episodes act as though the wedding was real. Later, when Dorium comments that River is incarcerated in the Stormcage for "all her days", the Doctor responds "Her days, yes, her nights After this episode, the banter and gentle sexual innuendo between them becomes less teasing and more serious. Later, in " The Name of the Doctor " , the Doctor kisses a holographic projection of River Song, based on the copy of her mind archived in the great Library of the 51st century.

During this episode, both the Doctor and River call her his wife. He reveals that the reason he has avoided mentioning her since her death was for fear that the memory would hurt too much — as River notes to colleagues, "he hates endings". Despite this, the Doctor's limited understanding of human romance and sexuality has been the subject of many jokes. For example, in " Flesh and Stone ", after being kissed by Amy Pond, his first response is to gasp, "But you're human!

In "The Doctor's Wife", when he tells Amy and Rory that he is redoing the TARDIS's guest room, they suggest, "Perhaps not bunk beds this time," and he does not understand why a married couple would not find bunk beds preferable to other furniture. In " The Time of the Doctor " , it is revealed that the Doctor, in an unspecified prior incarnation to the Eleventh, engaged in a romance with a woman named Tasha Lem. Their attraction appeared to continue when the Eleventh encountered her again, even after Lem was technically killed and made into a Dalek-human hybrid.

At first, the Twelfth Doctor explicitly rejected the idea of having a romantic relationship with his companion Clara Oswald. He implied that in his previous form , he had come to see himself as Clara's "boyfriend" in an attempt to avoid confronting his extreme age and alien nature. Missy is later revealed to be a female incarnation of the Master. As the character of the Twelfth Doctor evolved, so did his relationship with Clara. In a spring interview, Steven Moffat indicated that the Doctor had never stopped being "besotted" with Clara, and that he "loves them companions more than they love him.

Two people who are really crazy about each other Further romance for the Twelfth Doctor was implied in the Christmas special, " The Husbands of River Song ", in which this incarnation meets his one-time wife, River Song , for the first and, narratively, the last time. The spin-off media both before and after the television movie have toyed with the idea in various ways.

In the Virgin New Adventures novel Human Nature by Paul Cornell , the Seventh Doctor takes on the human guise of "Dr John Smith" and has a romance with a teacher named Joan in , albeit as a means to understand the human condition and with the Doctor's own memories as a Time Lord suppressed. The relationship ended when the Doctor was restored to normal, admitting to Joan that he knows that Smith was fond of her but unable to reciprocate those feelings himself.

This novel was adapted to the screen and comprised two episodes in the new programme: In the Virgin novel Death and Diplomacy , by Dave Stone , the Seventh Doctor implies that he intentionally creates an image of asexuality to keep things simple. This encounter was later confirmed in the audio drama "Benny's Story", a chapter of the Big Finish Productions release The Company of Friends , marking the only time to date that a classic-era Doctor has been confirmed as sleeping with one of his companions. In various novels — especially Lungbarrow — it is established that Time Lords do not reproduce sexually, but emerge from genetic Looms fully grown, though the same book hints that the Doctor's birth was an exception unlike his cousins, he has a belly button.

Lance Parkin 's novels Cold Fusion and The Infinity Doctors suggest that "wombborn" families have survived in secret, and that the Doctor and the Master were born to these families. In the film Doctor Who , the Doctor states he is "half-human, on [his] mother's side". The revived programme portrays Time Lord children, with a child version of the Doctor appearing in the episode " Listen ". In the Big Finish Productions audio play Loups-Garoux , the Fifth Doctor reluctantly agrees to marry the werewolf Ileana De Santos and although he gets out of it later, as in Cameca's case, a degree of mutual attraction is present.

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. The recurring novel and audio character Iris Wildthyme , created by Paul Magrs , is first introduced in the Short Trips story Old Flames , is a past romantic interest of the Doctor's who continues to flirt with him whenever they meet. The question of romance is sometimes sidestepped with plot devices in the spin-off media.

It is implied in the book that Miranda is actually the daughter of the Doctor himself from the far future. Miranda returns in the novel Sometime Never At that novel's end, a time-active being called Soul travels into the past accompanied by Zezanne, the two believing themselves to be the Doctor and Susan , respectively. While over the decades several revelations have been made about his background — that he is a Time Lord, that he is from Gallifrey, etc.

This has led to continuity problems. Early histories of races such as the Daleks were rewritten.

Writer Paul Cornell , discussing continuity errors, opines that the modern programme's Time War can explain away or retcon such discontinuities, giving the example of Earth's different destructions in The Ark and " The End of the World " Some of the stories during the Seventh Doctor's tenure, part of the so-called " Cartmel Masterplan ", were intended to deal with this issue by suggesting that much of what was believed about the Doctor was wrong and that he was a far more powerful and mysterious figure than previously thought.

In both an untelevised scene in Remembrance of the Daleks and the subsequent Silver Nemesis it was implied that the Doctor was "more than just another Time Lord". The suspension of the series in meant that none of these hints were ever resolved onscreen. The "Masterplan" was used as a guide for the Virgin New Adventures series of novels featuring the Seventh Doctor, and the revelations about the Doctor's origins were written into the novel Lungbarrow by Marc Platt.

The character has been generally well received by the public. The character's enduring popularity led The Daily Telegraph to dub him "Britain's favourite alien".

McGann was 53 when he filmed the mini-episode; it was released on his 54th birthday. Instead, Sylvester McCoy was seen briefly, wearing a blond wig, with his facial features obscured by a video effect before he regenerated into the Seventh Doctor. Baker later voiced the character in the audio drama The Sixth Doctor: The Last Adventure , which served to explain the cause of his regeneration; the Doctor deliberately drew himself towards Lakertya to be poisoned by its radiation, which prevented the Valeyard from taking over existence.
