  • Sixth Doctor
rdfs:comment
  • He was played from 1984 - 1986 by former porn star and part-time chef Culinary Bakehouse until Seven deliberately killed him. First appeared at the end of Caves, his first full story being the smash hit The Twin Dilemma.
  • He was profoundly difficult with his first companion, Peri Brown, whom he initially challenged for her use of American English and her as-yet-incomplete education. Indeed, during the early hours after his regeneration he physically assaulted her due to post-regenerative paranoia. It took considerable time for himself and Peri to stop bickering and speak together on amiable terms, but the Sixth Doctor eventually became someone she could rely upon. With enough distance from the regenerative event, she was able to look to the Doctor for strength after her mother's death.
  • The Sixth Doctor is the name used for the sixth incarnation of the Doctor. He set himself apart from the other incarnations because of his brightly colored clothes and brash personality. After his regeneration (this going from the Fifth Doctor to the Sixth) he was so confused that he nearly strangled his companion, Peri. During his time he encountered many old enemies including The Master, the Daleks, the Cybermen, and the Sontarans. He also had an adventure with one of his former versions, the Second Doctor. He was later put on trial by his people, the Time Lords, and was prosecuted by The Valeyard, who turned out to be an evil future version of the Doctor. His regeneration into the Seventh Doctor occurred because of an attack by The Rani.

  • He was played from 1984 - 1986 by former porn star and part-time chef Culinary Bakehouse until Seven deliberately killed him. First appeared at the end of Caves, his first full story being the smash hit The Twin Dilemma.
  • The Sixth Doctor is the name used for the sixth incarnation of the Doctor. He set himself apart from the other incarnations because of his brightly colored clothes and brash personality. After his regeneration (this going from the Fifth Doctor to the Sixth) he was so confused that he nearly strangled his companion, Peri. During his time he encountered many old enemies including The Master, the Daleks, the Cybermen, and the Sontarans. He also had an adventure with one of his former versions, the Second Doctor. He was later put on trial by his people, the Time Lords, and was prosecuted by The Valeyard, who turned out to be an evil future version of the Doctor. His regeneration into the Seventh Doctor occurred because of an attack by The Rani. He also gave his age as 900 in one episode. His personality was different from all the others because of his mood swings sometimes becoming violent, and being extremely egotistical. He was also very confident in his abilities and intolerable of fools, sometimes enduring Peri's company more than enjoying it. He also had an affection for cats showed by his often wearing cat shaped pins on his lapels.
  • He was profoundly difficult with his first companion, Peri Brown, whom he initially challenged for her use of American English and her as-yet-incomplete education. Indeed, during the early hours after his regeneration he physically assaulted her due to post-regenerative paranoia. It took considerable time for himself and Peri to stop bickering and speak together on amiable terms, but the Sixth Doctor eventually became someone she could rely upon. With enough distance from the regenerative event, she was able to look to the Doctor for strength after her mother's death. Despite his bluster, the Sixth Doctor did possess great reserves of compassion. His gentler side began to blossom largely as a consequence of travelling with Evelyn Smythe, a university lecturer whose verbal dexterity was on a par with his own. Also helpful to this transition were Frobisher, a shapeshifting private eye who often masqueraded as a penguin, Flip Jackson, a young woman from twenty-first century London, and Melanie Bush, a brilliant computer programmer from Earth in the 1980s. A dominant feature of his life was yet another Time Lord trial. Though this one sought to blame him for a shifting docket of crimes, it in fact turned out to be an elaborate ruse. He later found himself in a reverse situation where he became the prosecutor against the Valeyard, the malicious being that had framed him in an attempt to steal his regenerations. He discovered that the Valeyard's dubious existence was somehow tied to his own and took shape from his inherently darker characteristics. Long after this trial, the Doctor was slowly manipulated by the Valeyard across different moments of his life until the Valeyard had the means to replace all Time Lords in existence. Forced to arrange his own demise to prevent this genocidal plot, the Sixth Doctor influenced his younger self into inadvertently crossing paths with the Rani, who dealt him a fatal blow. He regenerated, putting his future in the hands of his successor.
