DOCTOR WHO: THE ELEVENTH DOCTOR SO FAR
On a number of the remaining days of our Advent Calendar, we'll be retelling the adventures of the Eleventh Doctor so far in Doctor Who. Through his dealings with the cracks of time in Series Five to the death of the Doctor arc in Series Six and indeed the fall of the Ponds, we'll recap all of the major events in the new Time Lord's life up until The Snowmen. Without further ado, then, let's get going...
SERIES SEVEN PART 1
An adventure with the Arwells in World War Two London
convinced the Doctor that he needed his old friends the Ponds back in his life.
From there on out, he visited his parents-in-law on numerous occasions when he
needed their help on a mission or indeed simply when he just missed them.
At one point, it seemed Amy and Rory might divorce due to
Amy’s inability to have children after the experimentation at Demon’s Run.
Thankfully, when the time trio were taken to the Asylum Of The Daleks, the pair
rekindled their relationship. Meanwhile, the Doctor heard the voice of a
strange girl named Oswin Oswald, who had crash-landed in the Asylum and
unwittingly been turned into a Dalek. Oswin managed to help the Time Lord
escape, but seemingly at the cost of her own life in a planet-shattering
explosion, where she told us viewers simply to “remember”…
The next few adventures took the Doctor and the Ponds to a
dinosaur-laden spaceship and the Wild West, where the Time Lord displayed the
results of his friends leaving him by being more open to the thought of killing
his foes. Mercifully, Amy helped redeem him, and they both remarked during an
invasion of Earth by killer cubes that they didn’t know what they would do
without each other.
However, all good things must come to an end. Chasing Rory
after he was zapped back to 1930s New York by the Weeping Angels, the Doctor
and Amy met up with River and tracked their fellow Pond. The couple were
reunited and created a time-defying Paradox to stop their foes, only for a
final vengeful Angel to ensure that they had to stay in the 30s forever and
never see the Time Lord again. The Doctor offered for River to travel with him,
but she noted that there should be “one psychopath per TARDIS”, agreeing only
to come aboard for infrequent adventures.
Thanks to an epilogue in her own novel, Amy said a final
goodbye to her Raggedy Man, and the Doctor travelled back to see little Amelia
and tell her tales of the adventures to come, yet in reality the Time Lord
found himself alone once more. In Victorian England, we’ve seen Vastra, Jenny
and Strax try to convince him to resume his battles against evil, but it seems
the Doctor’s losses have finally taken their toll, as he refuses to leave the
TARDIS ever again…
