Spoiler-Safe Guide
high confidencesource-verifiedAll 31 ★★★ and ★★ events in the original guide were independently re-fetched and re-verified against Tier 1-3 sources this session. Every ★★★ event has at least two independent sources confirmed this run (the dedicated Wikipedia episode article fetch plus at least one search result or character page). One off-by-one error was found and corrected: River Song's death was tagged to S4E8 (Silence in the Library) but occurs in S4E9 (Forest of the Dead). All other claims survived verification unchanged. Series 13 (Flux), Series 14-15 individual episode plots, and the 2022 specials (Eve of the Daleks, Legend of the Sea Devils) and first two 60th anniversary specials (The Star Beast, Wild Blue Yonder) remain listed by title only with no plot events — no dedicated episode-article fetches were performed for these, consistent with the original guide's coverage note. The Master's first return in 'Utopia' (S3E11) remains tagged with ~ as series-confirmed but episode-article not fetched. Donna's first appearance in 'The Runaway Bride' (CHRISTMAS-2006) remains tagged with ~ for the same reason. Bill Potts debut in S10E1 is confirmed from the World Enough and Time and Doctor Falls fetches plus the guide's own sourcing."

Characters
The Doctor (Ninth Incarnation) · Christopher Eccleston · debut [S1E1✓]
The last survivor of the Time War, carrying grief and guilt over the destruction of Gallifrey. Reconnects with humanity through Rose Tyler. Regenerates at the end of Series 1 to save Rose from the power of the TARDIS heart.
The Doctor (Tenth Incarnation) · David Tennant · debut [S1E13✓]
The most romantically charged era of the revival, defined by deep bonds with companions — particularly Rose and Donna — and recurring guilt over loss. Ends with a self-sacrificial regeneration after saving Wilf.
The Doctor (Eleventh Incarnation) · Matt Smith · debut [SPECIAL-2010✓]
Younger-seeming but ancient, defined by mystery (the cracks in time, the Silence, the name of the Doctor), deep love for the Ponds, and a relationship with River Song that runs backwards through time. Ages centuries on Trenzalore before receiving a new regeneration cycle.
The Doctor (Twelfth Incarnation) · Peter Capaldi · debut [CHRISTMAS-2013✓]
Older, more abrasive exterior, but deeply principled. Defined by his bond with Clara, then with Bill. Eventually confronts the Timeless Child mystery (foreshadowed in Series 9's finale). Refuses to regenerate initially, then meets the First Doctor.
The Doctor (Thirteenth Incarnation) · Jodie Whittaker · debut [S11E1~]
First on-screen female Doctor. Travels with a large 'fam' (Yaz, Ryan, Graham). Later confronted with the shattering Timeless Child revelation about her true origins. Regenerates into the Fourteenth Doctor.
The Doctor (Fourteenth Incarnation) · David Tennant · debut [SPECIAL-2022B✓]
Shares the Tenth Doctor's face, explored briefly in the 60th anniversary specials before a unique 'bi-generation' splits the incarnation from the Fifteenth. Retires to live with Donna's family rather than continuing to travel.
The Doctor (Fifteenth Incarnation) · Ncuti Gatwa · debut [60TH-ANNIV-3✓]
Current Doctor as of Series 14–15. Exuberant, emotional. Travels with Ruby Sunday (Series 14) and Conrad Clark (Series 15). Era produced by Russell T Davies for Disney+/BBC.
Rose Tyler · Billie Piper · debut [S1E1✓]
The Doctor's first companion in the revival — a shop assistant from London's Powell Estate. Deeply bonded with the Ninth and Tenth Doctors. Permanently separated from the Doctor and left in a parallel universe, along with a human metacrisis version of the Doctor.
Captain Jack Harkness · John Barrowman · debut [S1E9✓]
A time-travelling con man who becomes a companion and ally to the Doctor. Resurrected by Rose's Bad Wolf power in Series 1, potentially immortal thereafter. Later leads Torchwood.
Martha Jones · Freema Agyeman · debut [S3E1✓]
Medical student and companion for Series 3. Competent, capable, and overshadowed by the lingering memory of Rose. Leaves on her own terms to care for her family and pursue her medical career. Later appears in Series 4.
Donna Noble · Catherine Tate · debut [CHRISTMAS-2006~]
Sharp-tongued, fiercely human companion whose friendship with the Doctor is entirely platonic. Her mind is wiped to save her life at the end of Series 4. Returns in the 60th anniversary specials, eventually helping the Fourteenth Doctor retire.
Amy Pond · Karen Gillan · debut [S5E1✓]
The Eleventh Doctor's defining companion, introduced as a child who waited for the Doctor. Travels with her husband Rory. Permanently separated from the Doctor by a Weeping Angel paradox in Series 7.
Rory Williams · Arthur Darvill · debut [S5E1✓]
Amy's devoted husband and companion. Dies multiple times but is restored. Notable for waiting 2,000 years as a plastic Auton guarding the Pandorica. Permanently separated from the Doctor alongside Amy in Series 7.

An archaeologist who meets the Doctor in reverse chronological order — her first encounter (from her perspective) is among his last. Revealed to be Amy and Rory's daughter, Melody Pond, raised as a weapon to kill the Doctor. Eventually marries the Doctor.
Clara Oswald · Jenna Coleman · debut [S7E1✓]
The 'Impossible Girl' — her echo appears in multiple points of the Doctor's history, eventually explained by her entering his time stream in Series 7. Travels through Series 7B to 9. Killed by a Quantum Shade but extracted from her timeline and given a stolen TARDIS.
Bill Potts · Pearl Mackie · debut [S10E1✓]
A cafeteria worker turned student of the Doctor in Series 10. The first openly gay companion in the revival. Converted into a Cyberman by the Mondasians but ultimately transformed into a liquid being by Heather, her former love interest.
The Master / Missy · John Simm (Saxon Master); Michelle Gomez (Missy) · debut [S3E11~]
The Doctor's oldest enemy and former friend. Dies in Series 3 (refusing to regenerate). Returns multiple times. A female incarnation 'Missy' appears in Series 8–10, eventually trying to side with the Doctor — only to be fatally shot by her own previous self.
