The Seventh Doctor

The Seventh Doctor is a centuries-old alien Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey who travels in time and space in the TARDIS, frequently with companions. He is a whimsical, thoughtful character who quickly becomes more layered, secretive, and manipulative. His first companion was Melanie Bush, a computer programmer who travelled with his previous incarnation, and who is soon succeeded by troubled teenager and explosives expert Ace, who becomes his protégée. The Seventh Doctor first appeared on TV in 1987 and his adventures continued in novels until the late 1990s. He made an appearance at the start of the 1996 movie before the character was replaced by the Eighth Doctor.
