* ArchEnemy: The Master[[note]](specifically the incarnation portrayed by Creator/RogerDelgado)[[/note]] and the Daleks. The former in particular was the Doctor's most recurring enemy, often turning out to be behind the incidents Three and UNIT had to deal with, and his most personal enemy on account of the two being former friends and occasional [[FriendlyEnemy Friendly Enemies]].

** The Third Doctor is easily the most Creator/JamesBond-esque Doctor, with his stories often involving [[ShoePhone covert gadgets]] and undercover work. Jon Pertwee himself was a Naval Intelligence operative during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII and purportedly one of Creator/IanFleming's inspirations for the character of James Bond.

%%!! Tropes associated with Eighth Doctor Adventures

%%!! !! Tropes associated with Eighth Doctor Adventures
* InSpiteOfANail: During "Interference", history is changed so that the Third Doctor regenerates after being shot on the planet Dust rather than dying of radiation poisoning after the confrontation with the Great One on Metebelis Three. While this erases the events of "Planet of the Spiders" from his timeline, the rest of his timeline apparently proceeds unaltered, with Sarah Jane managing to take the TARDIS back to UNIT HQ as he regenerates.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Due to his encounter with his eighth self, the Third Doctor changes his own history and regenerates ahead of schedule, which also leads to him becoming infected with the paradox biodata virus that will convert his eighth incarnation into an agent of Faction Paradox.
* SpiritAdvisor: As a result of his timeline being changed by the trip to Dust, some form of the Third Doctor manifests from the dust in the TARDIS's control room after the TARDIS is mutated into the Edifice. This 'spirit' appears to essentially represent the part of the Third Doctor's timeline that would have unfolded before the Eighth Doctor's unintended interference in his own past, giving him insight into Time as he is trapped within the corrupted TARDIS.
* TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow: The Third Doctor appears to regard his meeting with I.M. Foreman on Dust as this, feeling that he should never have learnt that he was essentially following Foreman's example when he arrived on Earth rather than tracing his own path.



* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The threat in ''The Eye of the Giant'' only comes about because the Doctor’s attempt to restore his ability to travel in time resulted in him changing history and allowing hostile alien forces with access to advanced bio-manipulation technology a chance to attack Earth.

Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
As per Averted Trope guidelines, instances where a trope does not occur, or is not a relevant fit, should not be added to a work page, unless in certain exceptional circumstances.


* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Averted. The other Doctors are all [[ScienceHero Science Heroes]], but despite using their brains to defeat their enemies are never shown doing any scientific work. The Third Doctor is the ''only'' Doctor who is consistently shown doing experiments ForScience in his downtime instead of just running off on adventures.
