With the appearance of an elderly Edwardian gentleman, the First Doctor had an insatiable scientific curiosity. Initially he had little time for the concerns of his fellow travellers and was not averse to resorting to deception in order to get his own way, but over time he mellowed and developed a strong sense of justice.

His rather shabby clothes and unkempt appearance, along with his childish behaviour, would often lead the Second Doctor’s enemies to underestimate him. But by hiding his keen mind behind a clownish persona, he was able to out-manoeuvre and outwit his opponents without them quite realising how he had done it.

Exiled to Earth for breaking the laws of his own people, the flamboyant Third Doctor resented being trapped on one planet in one time period. However, he assisted the UNIT organisation in their fight against extraterrestrial threats. His freedom to travel through time and space in the TARDIS was eventually returned to him by the Time Lords.

The wide eyed enthusiasm and irreverence of the Fourth Doctor proved infectious to many who met him, but frequently irritating to authority figures and tyrants. Reluctant to form attachments and resentful of being manipulated by his fellow Time Lords, he cherished his life as a wanderer in space and time.

Youthful in appearance the cricket-loving Fifth Doctor possessed a quiet charm and a breathless enthusiasm for his travels through time and space. Although not as forthright as some of his previous incarnations had been, the Fifth Doctor would never shy away from making a stand against oppression and injustice.

Garishly dressed, the Sixth Doctor held himself in high esteem, coming across as arrogant and pompous. But beneath this bravado, he harboured self-doubt and would occasionally lapse into reflection and melancholia. Nevertheless, he would never come up short when it came to righting wrongs and fighting the forces of evil.
7
The whimsical persona of the Seventh Doctor concealed the calculating mind of a master manipulator. Playing the long game, he would keep his plans to outwit his enemies close to his chest, and would even go as far as deceiving his companion, Ace, using her as an unwitting pawn in his complex schemes.
8
In keeping with his Byronic appearance and elegant dress sense, the Eighth Doctor was a true romantic. He embraced his life with energetic joy, diving into adventure and eager to protect the weak from the forces of evil. He was especially fond of humans, and admitted that he himself was half-human (on his mother’s side).
9
The Ninth Doctor had a strong thirst for adventure and was eager to share the many wonders of the universe with his travelling companion, Rose. But he carried with him a great sadness for the recent loss of his own people, the Time Lords. He had zero tolerance when confronting oppressors, fools and cowards.
10
The Doctor’s Tenth incarnation was seemingly fun loving and happy-go-lucky, enjoying touring the universe and sharing its wonders with his companions. Beneath the surface though, he carried the guilt of being the only surviving Time Lord, having been responsible for their destruction in the Last Great Time War.

Somewhat lacking in sentiment, the Twelfth Doctor is emotionally distant and often struggled to empathise with others and adhere to social etiquette. His ruthless application of cold logic to situations often appear heartless and cruel, but his opposition to tyranny and injustice is fierce and uncompromising.
