Random Doctor Who Facts You Might Not Know, Part 44

Tw: suicide, lots of alternate universe stuff where the Doctor is generally being unDoctorly

According to Ruath, Time Lords and Vampires share 98% of the same genes. (Novel: Goth Opera)

Before graduating from the Academy, the Doctor lost a game of chess to Savar so badly that he almost cried from the humiliation of it all. (Novel: The Infinity Doctors)

A version of the Doctor from an alternate universe (who resembled the Sixth) was targeted by Braxiatel (who was Lord Burner, the personal assassin to the President) for erasure from history, so the Doctor killed Braxiatel. He fled Gallifrey, was eventually found and put on trial, and then became Lord Burner himself. (Audio: Disassembled)

The Master once helped deliver a baby just so he could convince the parents to name him Edward, so he could make a joke about "Ted with the tech." This would make their name T MEARS, which is an anagram for MASTER. (Audio: The Auton Infinity) As you can tell, this was a very normal thing to do.

The Third Doctor was forced to fill out an application when he started working with UNIT. This displeased him greatly. He kept telling them to ask the Brigadier for the answers and admitted to having no idea what a national insurance number was. (Novel: The Time Lord Letters)

The Doctor once lost a bet with Oliver Reed and subsequently had to swim naked in the English Channel. (Comic: The Betrothal of Sontar)

In an alternate universe, the Doctor committed suicide to escape being captured by the Time Lords after stealing the TARDIS. The new incarnation called herself Susan Foreman and drank heavily. She was captured eventually. Originally, her punishment would have been exile, but it was elevated to death. She was sent to the TARDIS, where she was supposed to stay for the rest of her life, and if she attempted to dematerialize, she would dematerialize permanently as though she never existed at all. She was eventually told via letter that this is not the case and dematerialized, but she had no idea if this letter was true or not. (Audio: Exile)

The Sixth Doctor's trial on Space Station Zenobia was arranged by Vansell. Vansell also played a role in appointing an Inquisitor and a Valeyard for the trial. (Novel: SynthespiansTM)

In another alternate universe, the Doctor killed Eric Vollmer for the greater good and to cover up super-soldier experiments. The Doctor promised he would take care of his daughter, Ruth, as a surrogate father, but twenty-seven years later, Ruth found out the Doctor had killed her father. She also found out that this Doctor planned on killing her as well as she began to learn more about these experiments. She let one of the still-surviving, mutated experiments named Flint shove the TARDIS key down the Doctor’s throat and break his neck. (Audio: Full Fathom Five)

What followed this was regeneration. Confused, the new incarnation introduced himself and asked who Ruth was, so Ruth also introduced herself and said "goodbye" before shooting him, causing him to regenerate again and leaving Ruth wondering how many more regenerations he would have until he was dead. This incarnation of the Doctor has the shortest tenure - 11 seconds. (Audio: Full Fathom Five)

Griffin manipulated the Eighth Doctor’s biodata to a point where he could no longer perceive UV or violet. He later claimed to fix it and have "his violet back." (Novel: Unnatural History)

This was a lie, obviously. The Eighth Doctor would eventually admit he still could not perceive violet and was thus immune to mind-controlling paint. (Novel: To the Slaughter) This biodata abnormality was never fixed in canon (to my knowledge), so the Doctor was probably unable to perceive violet at least until his regeneration.

The Time Lords are incredibly strict on their policies on non-intervention (with, of course, some exceptions...). This policy is ingrained in the mind of every Time Lord, and breaking this conditioning will typically result in memory loss, the shutdown of parts one's personality, and potentially madness. (Novel: Time and Relative)

The Obverse is a pocket universe where time and space never was and never will be. (Novel: The Blue Angel)

In the Obverse, the Doctor's mother is a mermaid. 🧜‍♀️ (Novel: The Blue Angel)
