However, the Third Doctor's eventual regeneration was definitively alien in nature. Having previously stolen a blue crystal from the planet Metebelis 3 for study, the Doctor discovers that a race of mutated giant spiders have taken over and are seeking the return of their crystal. While this sounds like a reasonable request, the spiders seek to use the crystal as part of a larger plan to dominate the galaxy. Always a step ahead, the Doctor knows that the crystal's overwhelming power will kill, not enhance, the spiders' leader, and handing back the stolen crystal will therefore save the day.
Problematically, the spider's cave is teeming with lethal radiation but, in a noble effort to protect the universe, the Doctor ventures into the cave of the Eight Legs and hands over the crystal, defeating the spiders.
Tom Baker's regeneration into Peter Davison is unique in that it requires the cooperation of a mysterious third party. In "Logopolis," the fabric of reality is beginning to unravel and the Doctor is forced to team up with the Master to save the universe. Although the unlikely duo succeed, the always-opportunistic Master threatens to restart the collapse unless control of the universe is handed over to him.
Ascending a high radio tower, the Doctor manages to disconnect the dish broadcasting the Master's ultimatum. With the Master tilting the tower's gantry, however, the Doctor falls to the ground below, triggering his next regeneration. Having been followed by a strange white figure known as "the Watcher" for the entire story, the dying Fourth Doctor reveals his stalker to be his own future incarnation, and the two Time Lords merge together during the regeneration process.
Why the Watcher is a necessary component of this particular regeneration isn't clear, but wider Doctor Who media suggests that seeing a Watcher is an occasional phenomenon that befalls Time Lords who are nearing a regeneration. In his final story, Peter Davison's Fifth Doctor stumbles across a battle between various political and military factions for a valuable natural mining resource called Spectrox on the planet Androzani.
While inspecting the Caves of Androzani, the Doctor's assistant, Peri Brown, becomes entangled in an unknown sticky substance that is later revealed to be unrefined Spectrox. Both Peri and the Doctor make skin contact with the Spectrox and soon begin to exhibit symptoms of poisoning. The Fifth Doctor embarks on a mission deep into the caves to find the only known antidote to their condition and although he succeeds, he can only retrieve a single dose, curing Peri at his own expense. Colin Baker's departure from Doctor Who and the BBC was an acrimonious one, and this resulted in the most abrupt regeneration sequence ever seen on the series.
The exact cause of Colin Baker's regeneration isn't made clear, and fans can only assume that he sustained severe injuries following the assault upon his ship, although subsequent audiobooks have sought to fill in the gaps of the Sixth Doctor's demise. The Doctor's sudden appearance spares the life of a young man named Chang Lee, but the Time Lord himself takes a barrage of bullets.
With dual hearts and Gallifreyan physiology, the Doctor actually survives the shooting, but is killed by well-meaning surgeons as they attempt to open the Doctor up and save his life. Aimlessly fiddling in a Time Lord's body, Dr. Grace Holloway kills the recovering Doctor and he later regenerates in the building's morgue. With his only appearance coming in the ill-fated movie, fans were left guessing as to how Paul McGann's Eighth Doctor regenerated.
Answers finally arrived in time for Doctor Who 's fiftieth anniversary in the short film, "The Night of the Doctor. Travelling alone, the Doctor comes across Cass, the pilot of a doomed ship, and attempts to save her life.
Not like this. Not with this daft old face. Another possibility is that he realises that at this point he needs to change. The Ninth Doctor was tough as old boots, still haunted by the memory of the Time War.
It was time for him to become the more romantic and happy-go-lucky Tenth Doctor. You were born in battle, full of blood and anger and revenge. Remind you of someone? That's me, when we first met. And you made me better. Now you can do the same for him. That time, he really really wanted to keep the same face, because he was so gorgeous and fanciable. Or so I'm told by a number of female Tenth Doctor fans. This same vanity caused him, only a few episodes later, to become the Time Lord Victorious and claim ownership over the laws of time themselves in "The Waters of Mars" and to engage in a lot of self-pitying mooning in "The End of Time, Part 1".
The Tenth Doctor's real regeneration is at the end of "The End of Time, Part 2", after he's recovered his selflessness and will to self-sacrifice. He sacrifices himself for Wilfred, after an abrupt change of heart:. Look at you. Not remotely important.
But me? I could do so much more. So much more! But this is what I get. My reward. And it's not fair! I've lived too long. WILF: No. No, no, please, please don't. No, don't!
Please don't! Better be quick. Three, two, one. He accepts that it's time for him to die, to change, to become a new person. As he said earlier in the same episode:. The Eleventh Doctor spends hundreds of years in a lengthy act of self-sacrifice, forgetting his wanderlust and love of travelling the universe to stay and protect the town called Christmas. He turns into a doddery old man before finally being granted the additional regeneration energy he needs to turn into a new person. At that point he's spent so long in one body, and let it grow so old around him, that he doesn't seem to have any trouble accepting the need for change.
Also, his change may be partly consciously or subconsciously motivated by the desire to become someone less "fanciable" for Clara's sake. As he says in "Deep Breath", his first episode as the Twelfth Doctor:. I've made many mistakes, and it's about time that I did something about that.
According to another account, which did not specify the War Chief as a past incarnation of the Master, after being shot by the War Lord, the War Chief managed a partial regeneration into a deformed incarnation who called himself "Felix Kriegsleiter" during his activities in s Germany , and continued to help the War Lord's people.
