Paul McGann is the eighth incarnation of the Doctor came into being through the most traumatic and violent regeneration that the Doctor had yet experienced. Shot by gangland thugs, rushed to hospital and then subjected to a heart probe by specialists, the Doctor was unable to cope and, as far as those attempting to save his life were concerned, he died on the operating table.

Two hours later his body regenerated in the morgue. The new Doctor, staggering from a cold store dressed only in a sheet and was confused.

He simply loved life. He loved the way a new pair of shoes fitted, the night air, remembering fireworks in the sky … all the simple things that people often take for granted. He was also far more emotional than previous incarnations, feeling no embarrassment about kissing his companion in triumph as he remembered who he was.

As the Doctor entered his TARDIS once more after again saving the Earth, he left behind his friends: Doctor Grace Holloway and Chang Lee

Paul McGann has only encountered the Master as an adversary at the moment, but lets hope that he wills some ore soon.
