To say that I'm not very conversant with "Dr. Who" canon is an understatement. The only Doctor I ever watched was #3 #4 (Tom Baker), and that was back in the 1970's.
However, the Doctor is a special guest star in the second and third parts of "Ensign Sue Must Die". A running joke in the third part ("Crisis of Infinite Sues") is that the Doctor keeps getting killed, and regenerates in another of his forms. Sometimes they don't last long.
This one, for instance, only lasted one frame.
The final form, at the end of the series, is the one I'm confused by:
Um... when was the Doctor a hot blonde? Is this canon?

The Doctor was portrayed by Joanna Lumley in a charity special (he was also portrayed in that by Rowan Atkisson and Rob Lowe...he had a bad day in that story). It's almost certainly not canon*, however the Mistress (Who came about when the Doctor's old nemesis, The Master regenerated as a woman) said in the last episode that the doctor had been a cute girl. Note that there is a 66.67% probability that this is a lie.
There has also been a bit of fanwank regarding the doctor regenerating as a woman, and that may be what this is referencing.
* I say almost because, well, it's time travel so....

Do you mean Hugh Grant? At least, when Grant is not being arrested for soliciting a lady of the night?

Come to think of it, how about a Jeremy Clarkson-based Doctor?

So he can attack his own companions?
No.

Which is why the Sixth Doctor was not my favorite Doctor (Rather regrettable, since Colin Baker is a fine actor, was a Doctor Who fan before he was cast, and clearly deserved a better role than he got.).

I really need to get back into Big Finish. I had been collecting quite a few from a few years ago, and they were a treat - especially for those Companions that tended to be unused, either in general or with a particular Doctor. Fifth Doctor and Nyssa, and Fifth Doctor and Peri, were my personal favorites.
It does sadden me a great deal at the companions that have passed away over the last few years. Nicholas Courtney was, to me, arguably a greater shock than when Elisabeth Sladen died.
