- The Doctor is a character full of mystery, a time traveller with more faces than we know but just how old is the Time Lord? How many years has the Doctor been alive!
This is a question I tried to answer when I first started on RUclips back in 2017 and it's safe to say times change. The Doctor's age is far from a simple thing to work out and the age of this timeless hero has developed a lot in the last 7 years! So join me in finding out how many birthday candles the Doctor needs on their cake haha.

Have an epic day everyone and BE KIND!
Allons-y!

To quote the Curator : "Who knows?"
I think when the 6th doctor said he was 900 years old, he was talking gallifreyan years.
Oooh interesting!
A fan since 63: about two thousand years old, in human years, that is.
Reminds me of TARDISArchives’ video back in the day of the same topic. Loved the video!
"Rule One: The Doctor lies
This Video is super cool so I tried writing out The Doctor's ages in a timeline and got a migraine, so feel free anyone to better format this and correct it:
Timeless Childs - Untold Billions or maybe Infinity?!
Fugitive Doctor - Unknown Division Years
1st - 0 after being chameleon arched-450 (450)
2nd - 450-500 (50)
3rd - 500-750 (250)
4th - 750-813 (63)
5th - 813-900 (87)
6th - 900-953 (53)
7th - 953-1009 (56)
8th - 1009-1729+? (720+?)
War Doctor - 1729+-2129*-> 800?? (400 or -1,329?)
9th - Claims 800-928 but the additional story age doesn't factor into tv ages? (1 Billion-whenever the hell he catches up to bigenerated 15th counterpart? (Bruh)
15th - Can we just start over please im crying-hasn't died yet (idk)
Curator - Nope not trying
Longest Countable Living Versions:
11th 1,193
8th 720+
1st 450
War? 400 with Disruptions

4th 63
7th 56
6th 53
2nd 50
13th? 30ish?
9th?
He's old. That's all you need to know.
It doesn't matter. The Doctor is just very old. Let's just leave it at that.
I feel asking about age with a character that ages way slower than us, travels through time, with unknown amounts of time even throughout a season is kinda pointless beyond "The Doctor is VERY old, numbers are mostly meaningless"
I theorize that The-Doctor, might be 200,000 years old.
Nice job! I still think its messy that the Fugitive Doctors tardis is a police box.
Yep I have been thinking the same
So her tardis broke, then hartnell stole another tardis, and it broke in the same way?
my headcanon is after our doctor actually genuinely does die in the far far future, the tardis goes back to the earliest incarnations of the doctor and the pre-Hartnell doctors have the exact same tardis, but from the tardis' pov, Hartnell was the first. Prolly some plot hole in there somewhere still but it's better than the alternative
If you count recent revelations and factor in the 6th Doctor comments about Time Lords being around 10,000,000 years, that would be a decent starting point.
Last time I did the math starting with the 1st doctor to the 13th i landed at 4000. We don't know how long she was in Prison, then we don't know exactly what the bigeneration entails but assumeing 14 will later regenerate into 15, we don't know how long 14 lives then so 15 idk.
Yeahhhh it gets so complicated! The Timeless child and bi-generation really makes it a confusing mess 😂
I say the timeless child is a lie from the Master. There’s too much coincidence. And I hope the bi-generation thing gets fixed, it was something that could’ve been ended after the Toymaker got defeated instead of drawing it out
I would say the Doctor is around 4000. But I’ve also heard a theory he started count again after the time war, supposedly putting him at 1900 instead of 900 in series 1. But that just feels like a way to fix RTD’s mess ups
ignore bigeneration. That was just RTD keeping the door open for Tennant
@@taliesinllanfair4338 believe me, I try to.
My head canon is that when the Doctor gave up his name and became the War Doctor, he reset his age but then continued with that number following the time war. Given that the First Doctor died of old age at about 450, there's potential for the potion he was given on Karn to have extended his later lifespans, explaining how War could be approaching 900 and Eleventh could have lived over 1000. Which would add another thousand or so years onto the new who age.
I also tend to accept that the Doctor is always using Earth terms to describe his age given that in most scenarios he would be describing it to humans. I am of course only counting the main show here, as I think there's just too much stuff in the greater expanded universe for it to be in anyway understandable. And I don't even want to try and accept the Timeless Child stuff because not even the show bothered with it, and then we're assuming that was in fact the first incarnation which was kidnapped, it's all too messy.
If he was a 90 year old man at the start of the reboot, Rose Tyler would be a 2 year old baby. That's the kind of age gap we're talking about.
if you count his time in heaven sent he’s 4 billion something
Already confirmed this doesn't count
10th Doctor -"The timelords. The oldest and the most mighty race in the universe."
Rassilon "A Billion years of Timelord history riding on our backs.."
Since the Timeless child established the doctor, preceding the very concept of a Timelord civilisation.
He's practically the oldest thing in our universe or one of them.
At this point it doesn't matter anymore..
Great breakdown. Thanks 🙂
Also if we do count the confession dial years as well as the Pre-Hartnell Doctors The Doctors age is at least 5.5 Billion years old which for the age of a person is a very scary number, especially considering that the Earth is only around 4.5 Billion years old making The Doctor depending on how you count it being 1 Billion years older than the Earth itself! And bear in mind that 1 Billion years at the beginning could be a very conservative estimate considering that the Doctor at least as we know them in our time has a habit of traveling for hundreds of years and then showing up a year later casually adding centuries between seasons going from 450 to 750 to 900 to 2100 in just 60 years relative to the outside Universe just imagine the cumulative effect this habit would have over the course of over a Billion years worth of history!
Question. when amy and rory got sent back in time to life out there lifes bye the Angel in the grave yard while that were living there lives could thay meat a futer docter while there growing old after the events off the graveyard scene with the 11th
I did a lot of digging through every media source, last time I did the maths I had an overall age for the doctor at 5,035 years old but now I could probably add another thousand years on to that with unknown incarnations and what showrunners have said about the new who incarnations lives. Thirteen was tricky because all she alluded to was her being over a thousand years, although spent a few decades (30) in space prison, 5 earth years (33), and a 10 year time gap during the specials. Which makes her incarnation lived 73 years. In a mobile game she has a 5,000 year old diary. Fourteen exaggerated a billion years, RTD thinks he lived until 2063. 14th lives for 41 years
Nice work!! I'd love to know the source of RTD chatting about 14 😁 hope you enjoyed the video
If 14 lived until 2063, he may have decided to live throughout the rest of Donna's life.
11:30 *mavity
About five years old, based on recent evidence.
Huh?
Ether way, when some people get old they loose there identity and that’s what has happened to him? Her ? Or what ever It becomes?
Do the history of rassilon and romana please even a updated history of leela and k9
you think the Doctor's age is one billion years old?
Honestly it's a mess but my logic not only stems from the countless bodies and years the Doctor doesn't remember from being found by Tecteun, working for the division and the memory wipe. The fact we have no idea how long the Doctor was serving the division and Time Lord society as it was being built but also the fact we have no idea how much life the Doctor had lived before being found.
The Doctor was found beneath a monument and wormhole as 13 says she could have been waiting for someone or sent through from another universe. She could've lived multiple lifetimes already before even meeting Tecteun.
All the timeless child stuff really adds a lot of mystery to it all. The fact Time Lord history has lasted roughly 1 billion years in linear time suggests to me it's a good estimate for the Doctor's age as they seem to act relative to the planets history.
It's extremely complicated but I'd love to hear your thoughts and everyone else's! Of course I can get things wrong and knowing for sure is pretty impossible but I love a good bit of research and theorising 😁😁
@@TheWhoniverseYT what an interesting and thoughtful answer. I think the era of the 13th Doctor ruins everything. Also I don't think the time the 12th Doctor spends smashing through diamond walls counts as 'real' time. No being is 1 billion years old, no consciousness - nor mind - could manage such a feat, even the Doctor. The Doctor is not God. A single consciousness lasting a billion years is also not possible to contemplate.
In The Giggle, the Doctor says he is billions of years old, due to his time in the confession dial.
Hello
Hey! 😀😀
934,234,567,000,213,450 billions years old. He's god! No.
let's hope Ncuti gets to be a valid doctor. Not what his first outings showed.
He is a valid Doctor, as they all are.
Used to love Dr who ….not anymore….i won’t bag out the current actors or writers …anything that has this new WOKE disney agendas steaming hot death touch .. PASS……I’ll not spend my money or attention towards something that’s trampling on my childhood memories of what the doctor meant too me or allow my children to be exposed too the current DR WHO Shows ideals ……I give up …I quit …I’m not coming back ..peaceful journey too you DR WHO ……wherever that may lead you
Sadly, poor quality writing and completely unnecessary and divisive identity politics drain the fun from our fave sci-fi show. RTD needs to GO.
Have you never watched this show before or did you completely miss the point? Doctor Who CELEBRATES inclusivity and diversity.
None of us care anymore. This show is dead.
Well clearly it's not.
It is dead dead dead....... when those WOKE idiots put a female in the place of the doctor they killed it!!~~!
It should be. Should go on another hiatus while it’s still ahead.
