When the Doctor had to turn himself human to avoid the Family of Blood, he placed his Time Lord consciousness and true physiology inside a small ornate fob watch, which he then kept nearby at all times while he lived the life of school teacher John Smith. Although he had no memory of ever being the Doctor, and thought of himself as truly human, when the watch was opened, all the real 'Doctor' flooded back into him, turning him once more into the Time Lord he actually was. |
