- Third Doctor Era (Jon Pertwee): 1970-1974

Proceed with caution.
Multiple Choice Past. The Doctor has multiple conflicting backstories, due in part to the evolving nature of the show. They might be from the 49th century ("An Unearthly Child" pilot), they might be a child born into privilege ("The Deadly Assassin") or from apparent poverty ("Listen"), they might have learned spiritual lessons from Time Lord ...
