First Doctor ( mind copy ) A copy of the First Doctor ' s mind with all his memories was created during the transference process , when the First Doctor ' s energy was extracted and stored in two high input vats . When Jano ordered in - transference from these vats , his behaviour was strongly affected by the Doctor ' s personality , memories and conscience . ( TV : " The Savages " ) After the Doctor left the planet , the copy was placed in a laboratory and supplied with an optical scoop and means of speaking with other inhabitants of the planet . It was connected to the computer systems and tried to help people by answering their questions . The copy ' s voice and mannerisms were those of the Doctor , and it had all his memories as of the time of the transference . However , Steven Taylor vigorously opposed calling it " the Doctor " and insisted that " this thing " does not have the same moral standing . At some point , the copy obtained a permission of Malbenia , a young technician , to try and transfer its consciousness into his body . The experiment failed , and the copy was forced to retreat back into its jar , causing the death of Malbenia . Steven ' s investigation , however , showed that a successful experiment would have erased Malbenia ' s personality , replacing it with that of the copy . Despite these findings , Steven did not announce them for fear of retaliation against the copy . In 1983 , when the copy started considering whether to run for the elected office of the king , however , Steven , himself long deposed from the throne and withdrawn from political life , interfered and persuaded his granddaughter , Sida , that the copy ' s disregard for sentient life disqualifies it from running . After Sida went public with the story of Malbenia ' s murder , the public outcry forced the copy to dissolve itself into the computer systems before a decision of its termination could be taken . The last words of the copy before its dissolution was a suggestion for Sida to run for the office herself . She successfully followed this advice and became the queen . ( AUDIO : " The Founding Fathers " ) In 1986 , Steven , partly possessed by the Vardan woman , managed to bring the First Doctor to the planet from Earth ' s South Pole , where he was nearing his first regeneration . ( TV : " The Tenth Planet " ) The Vardan woman , previously dispersed between Steven and the Doctor , reassembled herself in her wave form . Her goal was to destroy the whole planet as a revenge for the Doctor thwarting a Vardan invasion on Grace Alone , where he had unravelled the Vardans ' energy structure with the power of his mind . ( AUDIO : " The First Wave " ) Steven , Sida and the Doctor faced the Vardan in the laboratory . Cautious of the Doctor but unaware of a copy of his mind still lurking in the computer systems , the Vardan was lured by Sida ' s thoughts into checking the computers . There the self - reconstituted Doctor ' s copy was able to unravel the Vardan much the same way as the Doctor did earlier on Grace Alone . In order to improve the Doctor ' s chances of surviving the trip back to Earth along the radio waves in one piece , Steven sent the copy along with the Doctor . ( AUDIO : " The Locked Room " ) It is unknown whether the copy merged back with the Doctor during this journey . What can be said for certain is that the Doctor managed to return to Earth in time to undergo a successful regeneration . ( TV : " The Tenth Planet " )
