I thought this might make a fun exercise: what hobbies or pursuits do we think Doctors or companions get embroiled with between adventures? Is the Sixth Doctor constantly embroiled in the delicate task of not setting the TARDIS kitchens alight? Is the Second Doctor teaching sheet music to Jamie? What do people think they get up to?

Ten and Donna have late night Karaoke sessions 🎤
Ten and Rose have romantic midnight TARDIS swimming pool swims together.
Ten, Rose, and Jack love going in costume to Rocky Horror Picture Show! Ten and Rose always go as Brad and Janet, Jack always goes as Frankenfurter.
Eleven, Amy, and Rory play hide and go seek in the TARDIS (think of all the hiding spots.)
Nine, Rose, and Jack have dance parties.
Twelve, Bill, and Nardole play trivia pursuit every Friday.
Clara is writing a novel with the help of her friend Jane Austin.
Seven gives Ace lessons on how to play the spoons.
Sixie sings Gilbert and Sullivan with Evelyn Smyth.
Four and Sarah Jane love to roller blade together.
Four and Romana play Cluedo together.
Three has a secret passion for disco dancing.
Eight writes poetry and gives readings at intergalactic coffee houses.
Thirteen has an Etsy store where she sells her own metal work sculptures that she welds (like her sonic screwdriver).

The Third Doctor indulges himself and Jo with nights at the opera (we now know Bizet is a favourite of his), expensive cheese-and-wine sessions at his club (Jo gone out on a date with Mike probably and a chap can't just sit alone in his lab can he?  ) and I can see the two of them shopping on Carnaby Street for the very latest in frills, capes and groovy clothes. (Well where did you think their kit came from? The TARDIS wardrobe doesn't stock itself and Jo didn't buy that collection on a newly-qualified agent's salary now did she?  ) All billed to UNIT as 'Sundry Operational Expenses', though the Brig. doesn't find that out until the accounts come in after Jo is somewhere up the Amazon and the Doctor has regenerated and gone... (And he agreed it was cheap at the price considering their service to UNIT and Earth. Though that didn't make it any easier explaining to Geneva the operational need for fine vintages and mini-skirts...)

I think we discussed this before... it would be lovely to have an audio drama of the Doctor and companions just relaxing and bantering... Heck, I would even listen to Eight and Liv cleaning the Tardis and nearly falling out on each other over it! Well, we know that some of the Doctors like watching TV or movies at the cinema (even if their taste can be a bit... different) and I assume that at least the 12th Doctor has watched some music videos. Plus, 12 likes his internet surfing. What he is browsing, however, is still anybodies guess.  I can see Sixie visiting some festivals and parties (also 8, since we get him coming home from a festival with his companions hung-over). So yeah, 6 and 8 would be the party animals. 12 would hang out at music gigs (as he does in the Titan comics). 11 you could just park in any childrens play-area and watch him do a Sheldon in the ball pit. I am not so sure about 9 and 10... as much as they appear fun-loving on the outside, I think they might just be too traumatised to enjoy anything much except the high adrenaline of being chased. And 7... he might be scheming too much to have any off-time. Oh, and 3 might enjoy evenings at his club and might head over to mainland Europe for wine tastings. Not sure however if he would take Jo along? And I could imagine he would be member of an antique car club and go on rallies with them on the weekends. |

Yes the wine evenings would be the Doctor's personal indulgence - Jo would think it very boring and take Mike off for a date somewhere lively instead! The car club is a great idea - imagine the faces of the other vintage car owners when the Doctor couldn't resist showing off Bessie's superdrive... |

I like to imagine Third Doctor’s constantly dragging his friends along to talks about whatever scientific curiosity has piqued his interest, akin to him dragging the Brigadier to Professor Clegg’s show at the beginning of Planet of the Spiders. Then naturally to the nearest bar afterwards for a fine glass of wine.
Can’t really imagine Four having such a thing as downtime, but maybe he and K-9 have ongoing battles over a variety of board games (I bet K-9’s a demon at Monopoly).
Five probably retreats to the cloister room to hide from Tegan and read cricket annuals.
Sixie I could see trying his hand at every minor hobby imaginable, and naturally proclaiming himself the best at all of them.
Seven is constantly trying to teach Ace how to play chess, much to her frustration.
Eight spends all his spare time tidying up the control room and buying every variation of Wild Bill Hickok costumes that’s ever existed.
Given the amount of books and clothes that pop up in the TARDIS over the years, the Doctors must spend a large amount of their time just browsing book and clothes shops (which shops precisely must vary dramatically by incarnation).

Excellent! I could see all of those (K-9 and Monopoly  )
I imagine Four performing expert tricks with his yoyo for about 30 seconds before getting bored, leaping to the console and picking any destination that seemed interesting. Second was probably the hoarder/collector of a lot of the junk ('I would like a hat like that') and he was the one with the 500-year diary - a book collector for sure and a magpie for anything interesting.
I expect the First Doctor enjoyed all kinds of practical science for its own sake - investigating anything and everything with Ian on all the quiet worlds they visited. ('What do you make of this, Chesterfield? Hmmm?') And he's probably responsible for many of the TARDIS's unreliable moments - I bet he 'tinkered' all the time, got distracted, forgot what he was doing and never quite got round to finishing the latest 'improvement'...

These are all amazing. Absolutely fantastic. I slept on it the idea and I have this image in my head of Seven going to a small asteroid archipelago to play a game of Risk ("Rrrisk, Ace.") against himself in a later point on his timestream: He seems like the incarnation who'd be up for a few strategic board games. He has enough editions linked together that all the boards and pieces have essentially become a labyrinth unto themselves. It's where he goes to catch up information and allow himself to unwind. Long ago, the dominant species to evolve in a nearby solar system used to polish up the asteroids for a game analogous to billiards, which was where he got the idea. In addition to the general tinkering, I daresay that the First Doctor (and often Ian) could often be found in the Ship's laboratory. Built up from little bits of equipment he'd acquired over the course of their travels. There'd be some evenings where it just looked like a children's science fair in there. Elephant's toothpaste from flasks, papier-mâché volcanoes measured with tiny seismographs, tesla coils pulsing to an almost musical rhythm (probably a kettle-sized version of this) and other experiments that prompt a hearty chortle. Occasionally things explode in the pursuit of knowledge. I've also got this image of the Second Doctor setting up an impromptu golf course in the TARDIS corridor for Jamie and Zoe out of whatever bric-a-brac he can find in the chest. There's a golf ball in the engine rooms that, due to the unusual nature of physics in that part of the Ship, is still bouncing around from those early days. Sixie feels like someone who'd sit down for a D&D campaign with his companions as the Level 6 Cleric, Quiquaequod: He keeps a sheaf of character sheets mixed in with the TARDIS library. Somehow, his newest companions always seem to find them. Either tucked between the pages of their latest read or in a paper trail leading to the last, incomplete play session. Whatever catches their interest more. Sometimes the Ship herself plays Dungeonmaster. She keeps him honest while they play. |
