    What if Doctor Who Wasn't Axed?
    The following article is written from an In Universe perspective.

    The Twelfth Doctor was renewed with a sense of optimism and adventure, after choosing to leave Gallifrey and explore the universe again.

    Biography 

    Post-Regeneration

    After ensuing himself into another battle with The Master, Eleventh Doctor challenged the Master to a mind bending contest and whoever won would gain control of The Sash of Rassilon. They met at the Outsider’s village at midday and the contest began. Eventually the Doctor lost, but Leela took his place and defeated the Master.

    The strain killed the Doctor, but Ohilia revived him with a potion. The Doctor stood and walked out looking at the sunset. He smiled, stating “this is it”, and regenerated into his twelfth incarnation. 

    The new Twelfth Doctor confronted the also dying Master. The latter revealed that he was behind the Doctor’s exile many years ago. He regenerates into the incarnation that the Doctor first saw during his exile, much to the Doctor’s shock. The Master was sent off-world. (MOV: Doctor Who: Revelation)

    The Doctor then spoke to The Rouge, as he spoke about continuing his run as Lord President, with a new face. However, as he entered his office - a woman who he would know later to be his future companion, Lizzie Clark jumped out of the window and killed herself. This, in turn would cause The Doctor to be labeled as a murderer - so he would have to leave the role of Lord President to the only suitable candidate, The Rouge. (DW: Mad World)

    The Doctor made a speech at The Panopticon, to announce his resignation as President in favor of the Rogue. His final act was to give equal rights to the Outsiders.

    Upon saying his goodbyes, he shed his ceremonial robes, and clad only in human clothing, he entered his TARDIS once more and sets off for new adventures. (MOV: Doctor Who: Revelation)

    Adventures with Angela

    The Doctor tracked what he believed to be a n object of Shalkan origin to 1941 London, where, after Angela had wandered off, he discovered the TARDIS phone ringing; on the other side, there was a boy asking for his mother. Investigating further, he followed Nancy, a homeless young woman who was feeding homeless children by stealing from people's meals that were left fresh on their tables, as they hid during air raids. She was being chased by a child in a gas mask who was terrifying her and seemed to be endangering people. Nancy told the Doctor the "bomb that wasn't a bomb" landed near Limehouse Green station. Following Nancy's advice, the Doctor went to the nearby Albion Hospital. There, he found living dead creatures, with gas masks fused to their face, and identical symptoms, including a scar on the hand in the same place as the child that pursued Nancy.

    Lt. Fassile, a Bellonsion who had found Angela, tracked down the Doctor, thinking that she was working with the Doctor, whom he believed to still be Lord President. He was convinced that they were there to help him and revealed that the object was a Gallifreyan Time ambulance, left over from the battle in the Medusa Cascade and that he wanted to sell it to the Time Lord high council before a German bomb could hit it,   instead bringing the attention of the Doctor and Angela. Fassile teleported the Doctor and Angela to his ship, and they went to the bomb site near the hospital, where they realised the truth; the ambulance was in fact a Gallifreyan time ship and the Nanogenes in the ship had reanimated a dead boy and, due to their unfamiliarly with humans, had spread the Empty Child virus. The ambulance started its emergency protocols, calling in the creatures, who were ready to "tear the world apart" to find the boy's mother.

    Every patient and soldier at the bombsite converged on the Doctor, Angela, Nancy and Fassile. The Doctor fixed the nanogenes' mistakes by comparing the DNA of the child and Nancy, who was his mother, restoring the infected zombies to normal. Fassile stopped the bomb from hitting the bombsite by placing it in stasis inside his ship and when everyone got to safety, the Doctor destroyed the ambulance, making sure that history said that a bomb hit that location. The Doctor then contacted the Rogue and ordered him to leave the Bellonsions alone, make sure that the time ships were secure and that the nanogenes have a record of all species that the matrix had catalogued. Afterwards, the Doctor attempted to take Angela home, but the TARDIS arrived on Miasimia Goria instead. (DW: The Empty Child)

    The Doctor attempted to take Angela to Markitrin, but the TARDIS malfunctioned and instead arrived on a space station in the far future, during a war between the humans and the Wirrn. A Wirrn injected a soldier named Faroll with an egg that began to turn her into the Wirrn Queen. After fully transforming, the Wirrn Queen still retained all of Faroll's old memories, including Angela Jensen protecting her from the other soldiers; thus allowing the Twelfth Doctor to make peace between the humans and Wirrn, ending the war. (DW: Wirrn Dawn)

    The Doctor and Angela suddenly found themselves in an alternate timeline where the Daleks invaded Earth in 1907, but were defeated by the English Empire, who were helped by th3 Doctor and Angela. The surviving Daleks were captured and tortured by the empire, with only one surviving by 2007, and being locked away in the Tower of London. On the day of the jubilee celebrations, the lone Dalek was given back its gun and attended the celebrations. The two timelines began to emerge, allowing the Dalek fleet from 1907 to break through into 2007. After the lone Dalek was driven mad by Angela's kindness, it exterminated the Supreme Dalek, and then ordered the remaining Daleks to self-destruct, which restored the correct timeline. (DW: Jubilee)

    Working with Agatha Christie, the Doctor became embedded with a murder mystery at Eddison Manor in 1926. The Doctor discovered Arnold Golightly, a Vespiform/human hybrid, was the murderer and an agent of the Shalka; he was mentally connected to Agatha by the Firestone, causing him to imitate her literature. Angela threw the gem into the lake, drowning Golightly, who went after it; the link damaged Agatha's short-term memory. The Doctor dropped her off at the Harrogate Hotel. After visiting a much older Agatha at a nursing home, the Doctor and Angela were ambushed by the Shalka, and Angela was taken with them to Earth in 2007. (DW: The Unicorn and the Wasp)

    Facing the Shalka

    The Doctor tracked the Shalka to a strangely deserted English town centre in 2007. Upon clambering into a local pub he met Lizzie Clarke, who told him that the town had been cut off from the outside world for three weeks. While the Doctor at first refused to involve himself in the matter, he changed his mind upon seeing the death of a homeless woman he had met in the town. After calling for the aid of Lizzie and her boyfriend, he provoked the Shalka that occupied the town by creating a cacophony of noise. The Doctor, having lost his TARDIS to a crack in the ground, called upon the aid of UNIT to find the TARDIS and help him rescue Angela.

    After coming face-to-face with the leader of the subterranean creatures, the Doctor admied the Shalka into his TARDIS. After the Shalka believed they had learned all they could know of the principles of the TARDIS, the Doctor was tossed into the reconfigured wormhole gateway. Though at first resigned to death, the Doctor contacted Lizzie, who was in the TARDIS, and aided her in flying the TARDIS to where he was. After being rescued, he returned to Bambera's base and learned that the Shalka were vulnerable to pure oxygen.

    Having made his way to the Shalka's headquarters, the Doctor learned that the Shalka inhabited most of the worlds in the universe, particularly those that have committed ecological suicide. The Shalka, utilizing conduits, have controlled human's across the world. These conduits manipulated the vocal chords of the human's they inhabited, allowing them to emit sonic signals. These signals generate gases that would convert Earth's atmosphere to one that resembled the Shalka's subsurface conditions.

    Angela, having placed the Shalka limb back into her head, was able to connect herself into the interconnected exchange of information that was the Shalka's scream. After destroying Prime's acolytes and sucking Prime into the wormhole gateway, Angela vaporised the remainder of the Shalka left on Earth, the Doctor got the limb out of her before it could explode. The Doctor offered Lizzie the chance to travel with him, as he believed that Angela would want to return home, Angela instead chose to continue traveling with the Doctor. (DW: The Scream)

    Adventures with Angela and Lizzie

    While doing some repair work on the TARDIS together, the Doctor became annoyed when Angela got into an argument with Lizzie, who thought that she was helping the Doctor to fly the TARDIS, thus causing Angela to mess up on her part of the repairs. The Doctor found that the mistake had caused the TARDIS to materialise within itself, effectively trapping them inside forever. A second version of Lizzie arrived, and explained the outer shell had drifted into the near future. The Doctor used the time drift to tell himself how to undo the space loop. (DW: Space and Time)

    According to one Account

    After traveling with the Doctor for a while Angela decided that it was time to return home. After returning to 10 Downing Street, she invited the Doctor and Lizzie to stay for tea with her husband, Sebastian Jensen, she was then called away to a meeting. Sebastian revealed that he actually knew the Doctor and gloated about killing him in the past. The Doctor and Lizzie told Angela about this, Angela confronted Sebastian, who revealed that what the Doctor said was true, and that he had only used Angela to get to the Doctor. The Doctor took Angela and Lizzie to the Abby of Felsecar, where they encountered the Monk and learned that Sebastian was immortal and had gone under many identities. The trio then went on a mission to stop Sebastian killing the Doctor. (DW: The Abbey of Felsecar)

    The Doctor, Angela and Lizzie went back in time to 305, 1055, 1742 and 1806, each time meeting earlier versions of Sebastian, and in the end stopping him and the Nimons, who he was secretly working with. (DW: The Death of Jensen, Confess, Hot Air, Vengeance of the Nimon)

    The Doctor noticed an exploding ship stuck in a time loop and beset by a horde of Vortisaurs feeding off its temporal energy. He attempted to nudge the ship out of the loop, only to draw the attention of the predators to his TARDIS, forcing him to make an emergency materialisation. Landing within the ballast tanks of the British airship, he, Angela and Lizzie discovered that they were on board the R101 during its maiden voyage on 5 October 1930. Exploring further, they encountered another version of Sebastian, who was posing as Lord Thompson, a secretary of State to the heir. The Doctor knew the fate of the airship and that everyone on it was supposed to die in its crash, and believed that Sebastian was attempting to stop the crash, only to learn that he was trying to return an Ice Warrior to its people. After escaping the crash together, the TARDIS trio left Sebastian. (DW: Storm Warning)

    The Doctor, Angela and Lizzie followed Sebastian to 1965, where they found him running a hotel with Lizzie's mother near Lake Grandsmeir. The trio foiled a plot by the Zygons to retrieve Sebastian and deliver him to the Ice Warriors in exchange for chemical weapons, which they would have used to change Earth's atmosphere, and make it more like Zygor. The Doctor, Angela and Lizzie narrowly escaped in the TARDIS, making Sebastian believe that he had killed the Doctor. (DW: In Thy Image)

    The Doctor, Angela and Lizzie returned to present day London eight months after they had left, where they discovered that Sebastian had become Prime Minister of the UK, and had turned the country into a dictatorship. The trio helped a resistance group to overthrow Sebastian, and Angela decided to remain on Earth and resume her role as Prime Minister. (DW: Burning Books)

    The Doctor and Lizzie arrived in 2108, and joined an expedition group, who were trying to uncover a secret underwater base, that they believed contained a valuable resource, which would help in the ongoing war. The Doctor discovered that Sebastian was leading the group, and attempted to warn the other members that he was in league with the Ice Warriors, but this only resulted in him being locked up. After escaping, the Doctor and Lizzie attempt to stop Sebastian and the Ice Warriors, but they escaped. (DW: Operation Salvation)

    The Doctor and Lizzie tracked Sebastian to a Bellonsion space station known as Cold Star, in the year 3448. The space station was stormed by Bellonsion forces, who had been notified that people were on the space station, but they soon came under attack from the Resistance, led by Fen Do'nell. The Doctor attempted to send out a distress signal, but this failed. However, the signal was picked up by Lt. Fassile, who aided the Doctor and Lizzie in defeating the recently awakened Ice Warriors.

    The Doctor and Lizzie soon realised that they had to go back in time to 305AD in order to kill Sebastian before he was contacted by the Nimon. They were successful, and the timeline was reset, so now Sebastian never existed, and the only people who would remember him would be the Doctor, Angela and Lizzie. The Doctor returned to 10 Downing Street, where he comforted a grief-stricken Angela. (DW: Cold Star)

    Travels with Lizzie

    While playing a game of Monopoly, the Doctor's TARDIS answered a distress signal from the Vulgar End of Time, a point in the far future where everything had already been discovered. Arriving on the planet Generios 1, the Doctor and Lizzie encountered a scam artist named Banto Zame, who, together with his assistant, Sally-Anne Stubbins, were claiming to be the Doctor and his companion, and were creating fake dangers to con the people into paying them to help. However, a real threat appeared in the skies and offered to let the people live if they handed over the three greatest treasures of the Generios system. The Doctor and Lizzie teamed up with their pretenders and underwent a quest to find the treasures. Convincing Sally of her own worth, the Doctor managed to defeat the Cylinder, tricking it into taking Zame instead of himself. (DW: The One Doctor)

    The Doctor and Lizzie were contacted by Winifred Bambera, who asked them to help determine who had fired a missile, which had killed five-thousand people. The Doctor eventually discovered that the missile had actually come from an alien civilisation, and had accidentally hit Earth. (DW: Cannon Fodder)

    The Doctor and Lizzie arrived in 1891, where they took on the roles of detectives in order to figure out the true identity of Jack the Ripper. The two eventually learned that Jack was an alien refugee, who needed to feed off of people in order to survive. The Doctor and Lizzie offered Jack the Ripper safe passage to any alien world he wanted, to which he agreed. (DW: The Whitechapel Murderer)

    The Doctor was summoned to Gallifrey by the Rogue, who asked him to testify in a trial that was set up to discover the truth about what really happened to Quilly, a member of the Yvacnosci. (DW: Inquisition)

    While in 1959 Las Vegas, the Doctor and Lizzie's perception devices suddenly stopped working, causing people to see them for who they really were. The two managed to avoid being killed by Bobby Simon while dealing with a race of aliens known as the Electra were responsible for disrupting the perception devices, as they fed off of electricity. (DW: The Façade)

    Reunion with Tegan

    When the TARDIS came under attack, the HADS activated, relocating the ship to the UK. The Doctor and Lizzie were forced to take a four hour flight to Heathrow, as that was where the TARDIS was. While on the flight, the Doctor discovered that Tegan Jovanka was the air-stewardess. However, the plane was attacked by an unknown entity, which possessed Tegan, causing her to speak at the same time as others around her or repeating them. The creature eventually appeared to have passed into the Doctor, causing him to become catatonic, as Tegan was, while repeating Tegan's words. She incited mass hysteria among the other passengers, though it was she who the creature was still possessing. Before the creature could trick the passengers into throwing out the Doctor, Lizzie, with help from the crew broke the plane out of the spacial lock, and landed it safely at Heathrow Airport. Tegan realised who the Doctor was, and decided to leave with him and Lizzie in the TARDIS. (DW: Delayed Indefinitely)

    Travels with Lizzie and Tegan

    The Doctor, Lizzie and Tegan landed inside Sanctuary Base 6 on Krop Tor, a planet that was in perpetual orbit around the black hole K37 Gem 5, and lost the TARDIS following an earthquake. The crew of Sanctuary Base 6, having come to Krop Tor to discover the source of power emanating from the planet's core which allowed the planet to orbit the black hole, refused to divert their drill to collect the TARDIS. The Beast began terrorising the explorers and possessing their servants, the Ood. The Doctor, Tegan and the science officer of Sanctuary Base 6, Ida Scott, descended into the core of the planet and discovered a pit which had started opening.

    When nothing emerged from the pit, the Doctor speculated the prison was open but not the cell and decided they should withdraw. However the transport tube back to the surface was rendered unusable by the Ood cutting the cable, so the Doctor decided to use the cable to descend into the pit. Inside, he came face-to-face with the Beast and tried conversing, though its consciousness had already escaped to the expedition's archaeologist, Toby Zed. Realising the Beast's jailers thought of the Beast's escape, the Doctor shattered the jar keeping the planet orbiting the black hole, believing that Lizzie and Tegan would find a way to survive. At the same time, Toby was ejected from the Sanctuary Base 6 rocket by Lizzie. Though willing to "go along for the ride", the Doctor discovered his TARDIS by accident; he saved Tegan and Ida, but didn't have enough time to rescue any of the Ood. Towing the rocket safely away from the black hole, the Doctor "swapped passengers". Tegan told the Doctor that she'd had enough, and wished to return home. (DW: The Impossible Planet)

    In his attempt to return Tegan to Heathrow, the Doctor accidentally arrived in a small seaside town in 1999 that appeared to be repeating the same day. The TARDIS trio soon discovered that they were in a fake town created by the Russians in Uzbekistan, the year was actually 2009, and that the inhabitants were in fact Autons, who believed that they were actually human. However, the Nestene Consciousness awoke, and activated a signal that restored the Autons to their original selves; starting a plan by the Nestene to conquer the Earth and claim its oil in order to make more plastic. The Doctor eventually buried the Nestene and the signal, which cut the Autons off from the Nestene, allowing them to live their lives in peace. Afterwards, the Doctor returned Tegan to her proper time, and after telling her that she could go further, the Doctor mentioned a team of alien defenders in LA, who could use her help. (DW: Brave New Town)

    Final adventures with Lizzie

    The Doctor was contacted by Lt. Fassile, who requested his help in saving the Bellonsions from extinction. (DW: The Fight for Survival)

    Invited by Celeste Rivers to participate in a search for the ghosts of those taken by the spirit Erasmus Darkening, the Doctor found that he was not a ghost, but an alien who had become trapped between dimensions due to Lord Marchwood damaging the machine he was using to try to get home. The Doctor destroyed him and the machine, allowing those trapped by Darkening to finally pass on. (DW: The Eternity Trap)

    The Doctor was informed by Lizzie that she had been trapped in an alternate timeline where he had stayed on as Lord President. The Doctor believed that it had just been a dream, but Lizzie explained that because it was a nexus point, her consciousness was sucked into the alternate timeline, and that she was dying. Lizzie then died. (DW: Mad World)

    Meeting Rosalyn

    The Doctor traveled to London in 2012 in order to attend a farewell party for Angela, who was stepping down as Prime Minister. During this, the Doctor met Rosalyn Clyne, Angela's senior adviser. Together, the two thwarted an attempted invasion of Earth by the Daleks, who were being aided by the Rani. Afterwards, Rosalyn asked the Doctor if she could come and see the universe with him, to which he accepted. (MOV: Doctor Who: Until the World Ends)

    Travels with Rosalyn

    The Doctor and Rosalyn were sent on a mission by Prime Minister Barbara Deaconsfield to steal transmission codes from the Cybermen to help defend Earth against a potential Cyberman invasion. After saving some aliens from a group of Cybermen, the Doctor and Rosalyn returned to Earth with the transmission codes. Martin Amadeus, UNIT's new scientific advisor used the Cyber-conversion units UNIT had stored away to create an army of Cybermen. This new Cyber-army infiltrated the Valiant. Brad Zimmerman, an American UNIT soldier also aided Amadeus, and eventually forced the Twelfth Doctor to attach a homing device to his TARDIS console, which would summon a Cyber-invasion force. The Cybermen invaded Earth, but were defeated when Caitrin Ryan (who had been partialy converted with her emotions intact), activated a self-destruct sequence that destroyed the entire Cyber-fleet. (MOV: Doctor Who: The Upgrade from Tomorrow)

    Meeting his Fifth incarnation

    At some point, Rosalyn stopped traveling with the Doctor. The Doctor crashed his TARDIS into that of his fifth incarnation's, which put the universe in danger of being sucked into a Belgium-sized black hole. However, the Twelfth Doctor used his memory of the event from his fifth incarnation's viewpoint to create a supernova at exactly the same moment the black hole appeared. After giving a heart-felt speech of appreciation to the Fifth Doctor, the Doctors' TARDISes separated and the two parted ways. After the TARDIS landed, the Doctor stepped outside, where he saw a tank rolling towards him. (DW: Time Crash)

    Meeting Zenla and Chris

    Personality

    The Twelfth Doctor lost many human mannerisms of his previous incarnations. Talking with humans, he was very hard-hitting and openly complained about their behaviour. Actually, he often criticised humanity as a whole (DW: Jubilee) and was showing much more indulgence to the alien species (DWThe Whitechapel Murderer, Delayed Indefinitely). However, in crucial moments he was showing his care for humanity and every life being (DWThe Empty ChildThe Scream). It is notable that he was gentle for the people he encountered only briefly, which left very good impression of him in their minds (DWThe Unicorn and the Wasp, Delayed Indefinitely), and that he respected elder people, as well as their life experience (DWThe Scream, MOVDoctor Who: Vengeance).

    Feeling guilty about his actions as Lord President of Gallifrey, The Twelfth Doctor acted far harsher and snarkier than he actually was, sometimes becoming annoyed really suddenly (DW: The Scream, Delayed Indefinitely). Necessity of leaving his friend and companion, Sandra Armstrong, to a certain death hurted him so much that he couldn't get over this loss. He was seen pensive many times, and each time he had to remember it, he spoke with shame and despair (DW: The Empty Child, DW: Inquisition). In the moments of excitation, he often accidentally directed his words to Sandra instead of his current companions (DW: The Empty Child). Knowing how hard it can be to act decent, he often showed mercy to his enemies (DW: The Whitechapel Murderer, MOV: Doctor Who: Vengeance), tried his best to not let anyone do similar mistakes (DW: The Silurian Awakening, The Empty Child, Miasimia Goria, Cannon Fodder, MOV: Doctor Who: Vengeance). The events related to The Resistance left him with aversion to both Bellonsions (DW: Wirrn Dawn, The Fight for Survival) and soldiers (DW: The Empty Child, The Death of Jensen, Cannon Fodder), however, he was able to overcome it when the situation required it. Disputably, out of all the Doctors he was the most dedicated to his role as the Doctor, involving himself to the degree of obsession in saving people (DW: The Empty Child, The Scream, The Impossible Planet), saving Earth (DW: The Silurian Awakening, Cannon Fodder) and defeating the mad dictators (DW: Miasimia Goria, The Eternity Trap). He had a talent to make monologues and speeches, capturing the attention of the audience easily (MOV: Doctor Who: Revelation, DW: The Unicorn and the Wasp), He developed strong bonds with his companions, Angela Jensen and Lizzie Clarke, and became deeply affected by the death of the latter (DW: Mad World, MOV: Doctor Who: Vengeance). He seemed nostalgic, and always reacted with joy when he was meeting old friends (DW: Cannon Fodder, Delayed Indefinitely).

    During his late adventures, he became more emotional, openly showing his fear (DW: The Facade, Delayed Indefinitely, The Impossible Planet), grief (DW: Inquisition, Mad World) and joy (DW: Delayed Indefinitely).

    Physical Appearance

    The Twelfth Doctor appeared to be dark skinned man in his forties and was considered 'handsome' by the likes of Agatha Christie and Lizzie Clarke (DW: The Unicorn and the Wasp, The Scream). According to Angela Jensen, he had a "warm smile" (DW: Burning Books).

    He was also the first of The Doctor's incarnations to be bald, much to his own dismay after his regeneration (MOV: Doctor Who: Revelation).

    Clothing

    The Doctor gave his final speech as Lord President of Gallifrey in ceremonial Time Lord robes. Before he got into the TARDIS, he took off his robes and was left in a simple shirt and trousers (MOV: Doctor Who: Revelation).

    When the Doctor appeared on Earth during the Silurian invasion, he wore black shoes, black trousers, a white button up shirt, a black necktie and a black waistcoat. Over all of that he wore a trench coat with black piping similar to one he wore in his fourth incarnation, but in red instead of grey (DW: The Silurian Awakening).

    In his final adventure, he wore a red paisley patterned suit with a red paisley tie not too dissimilar to his eighth incarnation's attire with a pale red shirt (MOV: Doctor Who: Vengeance).

    Behind the Scenes

    Casting

    Before landing on Paterson Joseph, Gary Russell considered casting Alexander Siddig and Peter Capaldi in the role of Twelfth Doctor. Alexander Siddig went on to play Fassile starting in The Empty Child, and Peter Capaldi went on to play Lord President Gregori in Doctor Who: Vengeance.

    In 2012, Tony Redston mentioned in an interview that he finds Imelda Staunton perfect for the role of The Doctor and if he had stayed on producer's seat for longer, he would have chosen her as the Twelfth.

    Producer's Thought on Portrayal

    Ultimate shape of this incarnation is a compromise between creative visions of various individuals involved in season 44 development. Producer Gary Russell was hell-bent to keep connections with The Doctor's past. In his head, the new incarnation's main goal was to recapture the essence of himself before he became Lord President. That pushed him to helping people and solving problem nearly obsessively, as he was desperate to become the Doctor once again. However, the presidential past was still haunting him wherever he went, and memories of crimes he commited as President, as well as leaving Sandra on Space Station Exotract 42, built a strong feeling of guilt inside him. The emotional instability caused him to be sarcastic and sometimes quirky. Most of staff writers supported the idea, however a few of them, including Gareth Roberts and Matt Jones, portrayed the Twelfth Doctor in his stories as very caring, emotional and gentle, which they justified with the idea of human-like Time Lords, found by Russell T. Davies and Julie Gardner. This caused a feud with not just another writers, but also Paterson Joseph, who strongly believed that The Doctor should act strangely and alien-ish. Another picture of the Twelfth Doctor was developed by Paul Cornell. He also wanted the Doctor to act cynically and sometimes even grumpy, but at the same time still gentle. Paul believed that Doctor's affection for Earth, respect to any life and heroism with a bit of adventurer's enthusiasm survived his presidency and wanted them to show itself in critical moments. This concept managed to link the views for the Twelfth Doctor which seemed to be completely irreconcilable and created really three-dimensional character.
