had announced that he was leaving the role, the show's producers decided that the next Doctor was to be played by someone who presented something of a physical contrast to Baker and by an actor who was already firmly established in the British public's mind. Peter Davison was chosen due to his critically acclaimed role as Tristan Farnon in the BBC series ''
All Creatures Great and Small'' which had ''Doctor Who'' producer
John Nathan-Turner as
line producer. Davison, who is of partial
Afro-Guyanese descent, has been credited as the first
mixed-race actor to portray the character.
The Fifth Doctor's era was notable for a "back to the basics" attitude, in which "silly" humour (and, to an extent, horror) was kept to a minimum, and more scientific accuracy was encouraged by the producer,
John Nathan-Turner. It was, at times, a darker and grittier series, in part for seeing the death of one of his companions,
Adric. It was also notable for the reintroduction of many of the

Biography
The
Fourth Doctor was seriously injured after falling off the Pharos Project Radio Telescope so he merged with a future incarnation of himself called the Watcher and regenerated into his new youthful fifth incarnation. The regeneration was difficult, and nearly failed, with the Doctor briefly taking on personality aspects from his four previous incarnations. After recovering in the fictional city
Castrovalva (actually an elaborate trap created by his arch-enemy the
Master), he continued his travels with
Adric,
Tegan Jovanka and
Nyssa. Initially his travels centred on getting Tegan back to
Heathrow Airport in time for her first day as an airhostess, but the TARDIS repeatedly missed this destination and Tegan eventually decided to stay in the TARDIS. After trips to the future and the past encountering villains such as

and
the Mara, the Fifth Doctor was confronted with tragedy when Adric died trying to stop a space freighter from crashing into prehistoric Earth (''
Earthshock'').
Following Adric's death, the TARDIS accidentally arrived at Heathrow airport (''
Time-Flight''). Here the Doctor and Nyssa left Tegan assuming she would want to stay (when in fact she did not any more). The Doctor and Nyssa then travelled together for an unspecified amount of time before the renegade Time Lord

where he defeated him and re-encountered Tegan (who having now lost her job, had no second thoughts about rejoining the TARDIS crew).
When the Doctor met a new
companion, an alien boy stranded on Earth by the name of
Vislor Turlough, he did not know that Turlough had been commissioned by the
Black Guardian to kill him. Soon after, Nyssa left to help cure Lazar's Disease on the space station
Terminus. After meeting the entities known as Eternals racing in yacht-like spacecraft for the prize of "
Enlightenment", Turlough broke free from the Black Guardian's influence, and continued to travel with the Doctor and Tegan. Landing in the reign of King John (''
The King's Demons''), the crew again encountered the Master, who was using a shape-shifting robot Kamelion to impersonate the King. However, the Doctor helped Kamelion to regain his free will and the robot joined him in his travels (although he rarely left the TARDIS). The Doctor met three of his previous incarnations when they were summoned to the Death Zone on Gallifrey by president
Borusa, who was attempting to gain
Rassilon's secret of immortality.
After further adventures in which the Doctor re-encountered old foes, including the

Sea Devils (''
Warriors of the Deep''), both Tegan and Turlough left the TARDIS. Tegan would find the death and violence they encountered on their travels too much to bear (''
Resurrection of the Daleks''), and Turlough returned to his home planet of Trion in the company of his younger brother, as well as other exiles of Trion, from the planet Sarn. The Doctor was eventually forced to destroy Kamelion, when the Master used his mental connection to the robot to regain control of him, a process the robot realised was irreversible (''
Planet of Fire'').
Ultimately (''
The Caves of Androzani''), the Fifth Doctor and his last companion
Peri Brown were exposed to the drug spectrox in its deadly toxic raw form on Androzani Minor. With only one dose of the antidote available, he nobly sacrificed his own existence to save Peri, expressing doubt for the first time that regeneration might be possible this time, then regenerating into the

The Eleventh Hour" (2010).
Somewhere in his life he crashed his
TARDIS into the TARDIS of the
Tenth Doctor and consequently nearly opened a "Belgium-sized" black hole because of the paradox caused, which the Tenth Doctor also uses to explain the notably aged appearance of his former self. However, the Tenth Doctor, remembering the event, knew how to stop it because he
recalled watching himself correct the mistake when he was the Fifth Doctor. ("
Time Crash")
When entering the Doctor's time stream in "
The Name of the Doctor",
Clara Oswald saves the Fifth Doctor (who doesn't notice her) from the
Great Intelligence (having entered his time stream prior to her).
At another unknown point in his life, the Fifth Doctor piloted his TARDIS along with the rest of his first 13 incarnations to freeze Gallifrey in a single moment in time and save it from the extinction-level aftermath of the Time War ("
The Day of the Doctor")
An aged Fifth Doctor appeared as one of the “Guardians of the Edge” in an afterlife, inside the Doctor’s mind in the final Thirteenth Doctor special, to the Thirteenth Doctor as well as being a hologram programmed by the Doctor herself in ("The Power of the Doctor") (2022). He also appeared as a hologram to an older Tegan and he said he never forgot her.

cricketer's kit, and he was even seen to carry a

Panama hat that had a red band with a black and white pattern, which he would roll up and place in an inside coat pocket. The
Tenth Doctor, who inherited various traits from this incarnation such as spectacle use, revealed in "
Time Crash" that the spectacles were not actually needed to aid the Doctor's eyesight but were just for show to make him look clever (perhaps to counter his youthful appearance), although in ''Four to Doomsday'', he makes a remark about being a bit short-sighted in one eye when questioned about the contents of his pockets, which included the aforementioned cricket ball, a book (The TARDIS Manual) and a magnifying glass. The Fifth Doctor's costume also retained red question marks embroidered onto the collar, which producer John Nathan-Turner added to the
Fourth Doctor's costume in 1980. The Fifth Doctor displayed an unusually acute sense of taste in ''

The Caves of Androzani'' that the celery would turn purple in the presence of certain gases in the "Praxis" range to which he was allergic, although this allergy was not mentioned by any incarnations before or since. He said that if that happened, he would then eat the celery, adding "if nothing else, I'm sure it's good for my teeth." In the same story, while attempting to revive a feverish Peri from spectrox toxaemia, he had noted that celery was an "excellent restorative from where I come from," but that the human olfactory system was "comparatively feeble."

Peter Davison stated in an interview on the DVD of ''
Castrovalva'' that he thought the clothes he wore were far too "designed" and that he would have still kept them, but wanted to add some individual flair to them, as other actors portraying the Doctor have done in the past. In an interview with ''BBC Breakfast'' in July 2011, Davison stated that the cricket jumper was his idea, as the producers wanted something that conveyed both action and eccentricity.
During production of the mini-episode "
Time Crash", it was necessary to reassemble the Fifth Doctor's costume; this was accomplished through borrowing various items from the Doctor Who exhibition in
