Personality

Starting life with a dry, acerbic wit, withdrawn attitude, brutal honesty, fierce internalised anger and being fully aware that he was on his final regeneration, the Thirteenth Doctor adopted a less caring attitude and a more hostile nature, though he believed he gave people the benefit of the doubt. He often dispensed with niceties in a tense situation, becoming cold and calculating when needed. However, despite his ruthless exterior, the Doctor was actually deeply caring and empathetic, always striving to help others for the sake of being kind.

After being forced to erase an entire civilisation from existence, the Doctor employed a kookier demeanour, trying harder to be social. Despite this, he still kept his pragmatic ideology, resuming being hostile when angered. Even though he identified himself as a pacifist, and believed necessary evils to be a last resort, the Doctor showed even less restraint than his predecessors, and would get frank and physical with others, to the point that he admired to the Monk that he was always ‘angry’. The Doctor was well aware that he often found himself in difficult situations that forced him to make terrible decisions.

Physical Appearance

Clothing

The Doctor's outfit consisted of a dark brown striped suit, a dusty pink formal shirt, a dark floral patterned tie and black shoes.

Behind the Scenes

Casting

Knowing that the Thirteenth Doctor's era would only be lasting between 2-3 years, due to Ira Steven Behr's and Gary Russell's pre-planned hiatus for 2012 and 2013, Russell set out to find an older and more established actor to play the final incarnation of the Doctor. Possible choices included David Warner, Peter Capaldi, Imelda Staunton and the ultimately successful, David Suchet.

Suchet, a far senior actor above all previous Doctors, agreed to a two-season contract plus a movie in 2011 from the get go for his casting, which suited Behr and Russell's plans. During his time as the Doctor, Suchet took a break from his television series Poirot, as he had done multiple times before when embarking on new roles in other films or series.
