Sixth Doctor

## Physical Appearance

Physically, the Sixth Doctor was identical in appearance to an incarnation of the Time Lord Maxil that the Fifth Doctor met with Nyssa, (TV: Arc of Infinity) being a tall man, with long, curly, blond hair, (TV: The Caves of Androzani) and green eyes Over time, the Doctor gained weight and his hair significantly grew out. (TV: The Mysterious Planet) Consequentially, Melanie Bush thought him overweight and forced him to undergo a vigorous fitness program, which he found annoying, taking every available opportunity to deviate from it behind Mel's back. (TV: Terror of the Vervoids)

Upon first seeing his reflection, the newly regenerated Doctor was pleased with his new face, describing himself as having "a noble brow," as well as "a firm mouth, [and] a face beaming with a vast intelligence". (TV: The Twin Dilemma)

Dibber described the Doctor as "a dilly in a long coat", (TV: The Mysterious Planet) and Sabalom Glitz described him as a "flashy, fair-haired person". (TV: The Ultimate Foe)

###  Clothing

#### Main attires

Much like his fourth and fifth incarnations, the Sixth Doctor wore a plain white shirt with cherry question marks embroidered on the collar, (TV: *The Twin Dilemma*) and braces adorned with question mark symbols. (TV: *Vengeance on Varos*) He took to wearing a set of royal yellow trousers with black stripes, and his generally preferred footwear was a pair of royal orange spats over forest green ankle boots. (TV: The Twin Dilemma) Sabalom Glitz confused his spats with "ankle armour". (TV: *The Ultimate Foe*)

Most distinctive of the Sixth Doctor's attire was his patchwork frock coat, which had cuffs the same colour as his trousers and featured patches of crimson tartan, scarlet, green, pink and maroon felt, peach wool, a woven back piece, checked collar and yellow and pink lapels, (TV: *The Twin Dilemma*)

The Doctor also included a range of waistcoats, oversized bow-tied cravats, and fob watches with coloured chains to accompany his patchwork coat, each possessing a different colour scheme and design. (TV: *The Twin Dilemma*, *The Mysterious Planet*, *Terror of the Vervoids*)

**Romanadvoratrelundar** — known in short as **Romana** — was a Time Lord who was assigned the task to assist the Fourth Doctor in his quest for the Key to Time. She stayed with him long after that task was done and parted from him in E-Space. When she returned to N-Space, she became the Lady President of the Time Lords of Gallifrey.

## Name

Romanadvoratrelundar seemed to be a single, long name when she introduced herself to the Fourth Doctor. He quickly shortened it to "Romana", though given the choice of being called "Romana" or "Fred" she told him to call her "Fred". (TV: *The Ribos Operation*) The Doctor later called her "Miss Dvoratrelundar" when she was a witness during his trial before the Megara. (TV: *The Stones of Blood*)

Heaven is a paradise for both humans and Draconians — a place of rest in more ways than one. The Doctor comes here on a trivial mission — to find a book, or so he says — and Raine, wandering alone in the city, becomes involved with a charismatic Traveller called Jan.

But the Doctor is strenuously opposed to the romance. What is he trying to prevent? Is he planning some more deadly game connected with the mysterious objects causing the military forces of Heaven such concern?

Archaeologist Bernice Summerfield thinks so. Her destiny is inextricably linked with that of the Doctor, but even she may not be able to save Raine from the Time Lord's plans.

This time, has the Doctor gone too far?
