The Doctor and Sammy were transported back in time to 1969 by the Weeping Angels while investigating strange disappearances at Wester Drumlins in 2007. Using the information given to him by Sally, the Doctor left messages for her to find in the future and bring the TARDIS to 1969 to collect him and Martha.

From Sally’s notes the Doctor was able to give him a message to pass onto Sally in 1999 to help her investigation and that he would die shortly after meeting her again. Sally succeeded in sending the TARDIS back in time to him. (DW: Don't Blink)

The Doctor and Sammy stayed for a time in the Quadrant, this was part of a narcotics investigation. The Doctor was concerned as to why people were dying after taking a drug know as SMILE. He and Sammy were taken in by Bev Taylor, her brother Gabriel and her mom Winnie. He became worried when the narcotic was near a child with a Glamour, Gabriel Taylor. They discovered an N-Form bent on wiping out every human being who could potentially produce offspring featuring the traits of a vampire. He worked out that the person was Gabriel, and when Eva Jericho arrived with her son, Steven Taylor, discovered that Steven was Gabriel's twin and had been given away by Winnie on Christmas Eve, 1973. When Steven Jericho was absorbed by Gabriel, the N-Form was activated. The N-Form then detonated the SMILE taken by people, causing all who took it to die, including Eva and Gabriel. He thought that Dr James Greco was abusing his power, after departing with Benny and Henrick, the Doctor began tracking a large amount of chronal energy and began following it. (DW: Damaged Goods)

Further Exploits with Sammy

Stopping for food in the south of England, the Doctor and Sammy met Amelia Doory and Reggie Mead, a couple apparently experimenting with finding a cure to their contamination with vampire DNA. On their trail was a vampire named Nimrod, head of a secret Black Ops organisation called the Forge, who managed to hunt the pair down in an effort to correct the failed experiment he had conducted decades earlier, code-named Project: Twilight. Sammy befriended a young mother named Cassie Schofield, while the Doctor helped Amelia perfect a cure to stop their mutation, only for Amelia to betray the Doctor and turn the cure into a superior virus, first infecting Cassie, before fleeing to infect the rest of the world. Nimrod teamed up with the Doctor to stop Amelia, blowing up Amelia's blood bank, while the Doctor pursued her, knocking the virus into the water of the River Thames, prompting her to dive for it and drown. The Doctor took Cassie to Norway to live in secret while he developed a cure for her condition. (DW: The Twilight Project)

When the Doctor and Sammy landed in a Medieval castle after the crowning of Pepin VI, they were dubbed as angels. They meet Eugene Tacitus who had recorded all events and glamorised them in a Bible.

Personality

With a carefree exterior, the Ninth Doctor was an enthusiastic figure who explored the universe for the sheer love and experience of it, craving natural things such as trees, birds and open spaces, thriving on the activity of righting wrongs, and safe guarding the future. The Ninth Doctor was a direct, emotional and sympathetic and an emotionally accessible individual, but these traits were balanced by his feelings of self doubt and weariness of his endless battles to maintain order, with the Doctor commenting to Sammy Thompson that his travels had made him appreciate the “beauty and delicate sadness of the interconnectednes of all things”. Despite his passionate joviality and humanity, the Ninth Doctor can be dark, harsh, cold and ill-tempered when provoked, especially when the forces of evil tried to unbalance the laws of the universe, but he still had his mercy during these outbursts.

Physical Appearance

The Ninth Doctor appeared to be a tall, handsome man in his early thirties. He weighed approximately 180 pounds, notably less than his previous incarnation (DW: Revenge of the Master).

Grooming and hair

The Doctor had long, wavy hair after his regeneration, (DW: Revenge of the Master) but, after some time travelling with Janet, he had his wavy hair cut short. (DW: The Forest of the Dead). He latter grew out his hair again after she died (DW: The Castle that Time Forgot). Towards the end of his life he cut his hair short again (DW: Here We Go Again).

Clothing

Main attires

The Doctor found a Wild Bill Hickok costume in the TARDIS wardrobe. Though he discarded the hat and gunbelt, he kept the long bottle-green velvet frockcoat, high collared white dress shirt, floppy battleship grey cravat with a bronze pin, greyish-green high-waist trousers, and six buttoned silky waistcoat with a golden pocket watch. (DW: Revenge of the Master) He also took to wearing question mark-fashioned boxer shorts, and would occasionally discard the cravat and leave his top buttons undone (DW: The Forest of the Dead, DW: Doomwraiths, DW: The Nightmare of Time)

After the death of Janet, sometimes in place of a cravat, he wore an ascot in a ruffled bundle, coloured in flaxen yellow, (DW: The Castle that Time Forgot) eggplant purple, DW: A Case for the Blue Box) or midnight blue. (DW: Wallpaper) While doing this, he did not fully button his shirt which was meant to hold his neckband accessories, instead having the points of the collar drooped across his shoulders as he left it open-necked and wore the ascot crookedly on his own uncovered neck.

The Doctor had replacement jackets, made for him by a tailor on Savile Row in 1892.

The Doctor varied the colour scheme of his costume, such as wearing a dark blue frockcoat, a purple waistcoat, an yellow cravat, mauve trousers, a dark purple cravat (DW: The Return of Nimon).

Other Information

Behind the Scenes

Casting

Michael French was the first choice of Stephen Garwood for the role of the Ninth Doctor, after his audition for the role Garwood considered no one else.

Michael French cut his hair severely shorter than his audition for the role of The Doctor. Thus a wig was hastily made for his first season. Michael French hated wearing the wig so he requested The Doctor to have short hair in his second season and eventually grow his hair back over time. Stephan Garwood and other production members agreed.
