Biography[]
The Eleventh Hour[]
The Eleventh Doctor emerged from his previous incarnation's explosive regeneration, and after familiarising himself with his new body, found gleefully that he was crashing into Earth. As his damaged TARDIS flew above London, the Doctor was left hanging out of the ship, before he managed to pull himself back in. The TARDIS crashed in the back garden of Amelia Pond, whom the Doctor befriended, working his tastebuds out with her, until he settled on Fish fingers and Custard. However, he realised that Amelia was frightened of the Crack in her wall, which he discovered was a crack in time and space.
Personality[]
An old man in a young man's body, the Eleventh Doctor's youthful appearance and energy often clashed with his more discerning and world-weary temperament. He often failed to pick up on social cues, which would lead to him saying something insensitive or offensive, and generalluy gave off a childish demeanour when socialising with others.
Quotes[]
“ | Good men don't need rules. Today is not the day to find out why I have so many. | „ |
“ | I am definitely a madman with a box. | „ |
“ | In 900 years of time and space, I've never met anyone who wasn't important. | „ |
~ The Eleventh Doctor |
“ | Bring them. Daleks, Cybermen, mad gods, whatever you can arrange. I'll beat them all and you'll still be dead. I've fought every abomination in the universe and the only thing that's ever stopped me is my conscience. | „ |
~ The Doctor, The Inheritance, |
“ | I've lived a long life. And I've seen a few things. I walked away from the Last Great Time War. I marked the passing of the Time Lords. I saw the birth of the universe and watched as time ran out, moment by moment, until nothing remained. No time, no space. Just me! I walked in universes where the laws of physics were devised by the mind of a madman! And I watched universes freeze and creation burn! I have seen things you wouldn't believe! I have lost things you will never understand! And I know things, secrets that must never be told, knowledge that must never be spoken! Knowledge that will make parasite gods blaze! | „ |
~ The Doctor's speech in "The Rings of Akhaten." |

Trivia[]
- Unlike the Tenth Doctor, this one considered his death as just a necessity to defeat enemies if it came down to it.
- Eleven threatened to regenerate to burn out Mr Clever and the Cybermen nanotechnology in his head. This would have been suicide like Azmael.
- Fans think the change in the Eleventh Doctor's outfit and title sequence during his final episodes were a waste.
- Ironically this lasted 11 Episodes.
- The 900 years on Trenzalore helped the Doctor learn to lie by telling the truth and even adapt to outright lying despite the compellingly force of a Truth Field.
- This would explain why the Twelfth and Thirteenth Doctor got a lot better at withholding the truth.
