Welcome to the section on the fifth doctor. For those of you who are reading through the doctor's from one to eight what I meant at the end of the last section on the fourth doctor about his death being the beginning of someone completely different was about the fourth and fifth doctors being worlds apart. The fourth was wild-the fifth was calm. The fourth had a crazy sense of humor-the fifth was serious. The fourth had a bright "toothy" smile-the fifth had a polite charming smile. The Fifth doctor as you may have guessed was my least favourite. He was the exact opposite of my favourite after all. I didn't hate him though I just wasn't all that enthusiastic about him. One of my two most favourite moments that I can think of off the top of my head are at the end of Castrovalva when one of his companions said something about how he feels like his old self again and another one said you mean his new self and he went "well whoever I feel like-it feels brilliant" with his nice friendly smile. My other most favourite moment would be in "The Five Doctors" when the cybermen tried to take him hostage or told him to come along or how ever you want to say it and he just said "sorry,must dash" and used that teleporter thing that he got from the master. These are probably my most favourite moments because they are the only jokes I can remember him making. He wasn't bad tempered or nasty but he just was too serious for my liking.His companions included Adric, Nyssa(I think),Tegan Jovanka,The Brigadier (actually he was pretty much a companion of every doctor after the second one but I just felt like mentioning him again) ,Perpegilliam "Peri" Brown,Kamelion and "Trustworthy Turlough". The fifth doctor died from "spectrox toxaemia" on Androzani Minor. I'm sorry I haven't written more about him but I don't really know a lot about him. As far as I know he didn't have an excuse for being unable to pilot his TARDIS.One last thing I would like to say about that I liked would be at the end of "The Five Doctors" when he was offered the position of the president of Gallifrey and he told the "Vice President?" that she would have full powers until he returned and then turned around and told the companions he had at the time that he wasn't really going back
"So I guess it will soon be goodbye then"
"It will? Why?"
"Well as soon as we get back to Gallifrey they'll find a working TARDIS and get us back home won't they"
"Who said we're going to Gallifrey"
"But you said..."
"I said that she had full powers until I returned,she'll be the longest serving "Vice President?" in Gallifreyan history"(cheeky beggar)
"So you've decided to go on the run from your own people in a rackety old TARDIS that hardly works"
"Why not? After all that's how it all started" (cheeky beggar again)
