No.
See: The "Fourth" Doctor saying that he's in his twelfth incarnation.
"We're home, Chewie."In fairness he didn't say it but a computer screen during a literal battle of wits ticks his face backwards through Pertwee and Troughton and Hartnell and then just keeps going for eight more faces
But the implication is pretty clear

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.I'm attempting to draw Troughton right now so to speak and this forum topic sure is distracting me!
"My light shall be the moon, and my path the ocean, my guide the morning star as I sail home to you...."I'm one of those who chose to believe they were Morbius past regenerations. That's as good a Fanwank as any other.
Whatever your favourite work is, there is a Vocal Minority that considers it the Worst. Whatever. Ever!.I'm one of those who chose to believe that the Doctor and Morbius, through the phenomenal forces of their combined brainpower, accidentally peered into another universe and saw the faces of a production team working on an episode of a certain Science Fiction TV series that just so happened to be almost identical to the events occurring in the Doctor's universe, which is what drew Morbius and the Doctors' minds to that universe in the first place.
Either that, or the Doctor actually got pretty drunk from Solons' drugged drink, and it slammed him so bad that for several hours afterward, he couldn't remember who the heck he was.
Doctor Who — Long Way Around: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13536044/1/Doctor-Who-Long-Way-AroundI think the Morbius past regenerations thing is what the furious retconning of that scene ended up being.
Furious retcons like that give me life.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersRetcons are like a godsend.
If it wasn't for retcons, We'd never still have the Doctor.
"My light shall be the moon, and my path the ocean, my guide the morning star as I sail home to you...."I've seen a theory that those are from a cycle of regeneration that the Doctor had from before he called himself the Doctor, and he did something that the Time Lords thought was great enough to grant him a new cycle, but it disgusted him so much that he just up and left.
Oh God! Natural light!Or everything after Caves of Androzani is just a Dying Dream.
That's... depressing. Not to mention, that would imply Peri was stranded on Androzoni Minor, as I'm pretty sure she would have no clue how to work the Tardis. She'd have to resort to hard labor on Androzoni Minor (or, God forbid, engaging in The World's Oldest Profession...) to make a living until she could possibly stowaway on some random spaceship, and even then, who knows what would happen to her after that.

Doctor Who — Long Way Around: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13536044/1/Doctor-Who-Long-Way-AroundHow about that the minisode A Fix with Sontarans was all a bad dream for the Sixth Doctor?
"My light shall be the moon, and my path the ocean, my guide the morning star as I sail home to you...."Isn't that canon?
Oh God! Natural light!But Jimmy Savile shows up at the end! It should be a bad dream!

"My light shall be the moon, and my path the ocean, my guide the morning star as I sail home to you...."I meant that it was canon that it was a bad dream.
Oh God! Natural light!Oh, good. Very good indeed I hope Mr. Saville burns, rots, and gets CHARRED in the fiery Inferno!verse. I hate him.
"My light shall be the moon, and my path the ocean, my guide the morning star as I sail home to you...."How long have you been in this thread and you're still using that word in relation to Doctor Who?
"We're home, Chewie."Exactly. Now, if you'd said 'Cannon', then that would be a totally different story. Seriously, who doesn't want to see the Doctor blast a Dalek fleet out of the sky with a Sonic Cannon one of these days?
But yes; in relation to Doctor Who, canon is what logic is to your average Shakespeare play. In both cases, there isn't that much of it, but despite that — or perhaps in spite of that — you love them both anyway, because everything else is just so darn good. In fact, the lack of canon or logic may actually help the both of them, as it leaves more up the viewers'/readers'. interpretation, and it lets them mold the experience into their own.

Doctor Who — Long Way Around: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13536044/1/Doctor-Who-Long-Way-AroundI mean, if I had to say that there were some stories which weren't Doctor Who stories, I would find myself perfectly willing to argue that the Doctor being besties with a pedophile and rapist would be one of those.
...That sentence ended up confusing me. I have a headache. Not sure how to reword it to be more clear. But yeah, declaring Jimmy Savile non-canon is something I'm perfectly comfortable with.
I mean, granted, the series has had the Doctor being close friends with people like Churchill, who still fully supported the British Empire which was, after all, nothing if not a campaign of imperialism which did, at times, manifest in the form of rape of native populations, but. When it wasn't basically exterminating them en masse.
History is positively full of truly awful white men.
Please.
Your avatar is, if anything, better at causing trouble than mine.
It's what he's best at.
Now see what you've done! You've hurt his feelings...◊
Alright, I'm gone for a while to comfort him.
"My light shall be the moon, and my path the ocean, my guide the morning star as I sail home to you...."He loves making things explode and tearing them down.
It's what I've always liked most about him.
He's a scrapper.

Don't we all? After all he is what this glorious site calls Badass Adorable.

"My light shall be the moon, and my path the ocean, my guide the morning star as I sail home to you...."
The Time Lock seems to be less of a thing these days considering that the Mistress was able to escape it.
And as a time lock if it stops working in the present it may stop working in the past because the Doctor is not good at what he does.
But yeah, its never explicitly stated in show that the barn is on gallifrey.
