Character Bio

The
Fifth Doctor is an incarnation of
the Doctor, the protagonist of the
BBC science fiction television series
Doctor Who. He is portrayed by
Peter Davison.
Within the series' narrative, the Doctor is a centuries-old
Time Lord alien from the planet
Gallifrey who
travels in time and space in his
TARDIS, frequently with
companions. When the Doctor is critically injured, he can
regenerate his body; in doing so, his physical appearance and personality change. Davison portrays the fifth such incarnation, a staunch pacifist with a vulnerable side and a tendency towards indecisiveness, dressed as a boyish
Edwardian cricketer. He travelled with a host of companions, including boy genius
Adric (
Matthew Waterhouse), alien aristocrat
Nyssa (
Sarah Sutton) and Australian flight attendant
Tegan Jovanka (
Janet Fielding), whom he had travelled alongside in his previous incarnation. He also shared later adventures alongside devious schoolboy
Vislor Turlough (
Mark Strickson) and American college student
Peri Brown (
Nicola Bryant).
