Slightly off-topic, maybe? Susan definitely ate, and true to form, kvetched about it when she was hungry. She and Barbara were once asked, by this resistance group, what they do.
Barbara: I cook.
Susan: I eat!
But we don't really know what Susan was.

Also, if we're going to talk about how much the Doctor eats, you have to take into account how often the humans eat. Doctor Who isn't a documentary, after all. No one gets shown eating at every mealtime.

As to humans eating in the series, who can forget Ace in Remembrance Of The Daleks?!

Ace: Professor, I'm HUNGRY! Lack of food makes me hungry, you know!
Doctor: Lack of food makes you obstreporous!

I guess that may suggest he eats a bit less than humans do? In the EDAs, there's a couple scenes, I think, where he gets pestered about even if he's not hungry, everyone else is, and it would be nice to eat at some point...

i think, from what RTD Collinson and Gardner dais, he doesnt really need much to eat, but he can eat as much as he wants, but just when he feels like it, like, almost just for fun

Just remembered, the Doctor gets something to eat in VOTD (apart from the buffalo wing).

In one of the scenes, there is a plate of sandwiches. When the Doctor has finished talking to Midshipman Frame, Astrid turns up holding another plate and says I saved you some. You might be a Time King from Gaddabee, but you still need to eat.. The Doctor starts on his sandwiches...

Well, according to the RTD, Julie and Phil commentary for VOTD, the Doctor eats anchovies in about episode 7 of the new series, and there are other eating scenes as well...

He's kinda creepy... and insane. He eats a banana split in three mouthfulls, in the time it takes for Martha to open her mouth to start eating her sundae.

umm possibly a commentary spoiler so.. in the commentary, that's where RTD talks about the doc eating, and how there'd be forums about it. biggrin

In the EDAs, Eight used to get so busy brooding he forgot to eat, so he lost weight and his companions sometimes got concerned, and there was one time he got imprisoned and ended up an utter bag of bones... so I guess the Doctor does need to eat once in a while.


Isn't that after Henrietta Street though? If so, his metabolism is going to be working differently to usual anyway.

here's a point; in the christmas incvasion, rose an djackie bring food into the TARDIS, implying there isnt any already in there...or does Rose just not know where the kitchen is..?

Wasn't there something in the 1st Doctor era about there being a little machine that made food cubes?
I'd bring real food on board too--who wants to just eat cubes all the time? :XP:

And the cookies at the end. That was freaky- and he wanted another one also...

3nodding That's in The Daleks.

If I remember rightly, that the Doctor can cook is first established at the end of Battlefield and that becomes a bit of a theme in the New Adventures, especially the Kate Orman ones.

Though Cornell wrote my favourite 'the Doctor Cooks' sequence in No Future. The Doctor, his companions, various members of UNIT and a punk band are holed up in his house in Allen Road. Unexpectedly having to play host, the Doctor goes to the fridge and before opening it says something like, "I know this refrigerator will be packed with delicious supplies and ingredients, as following this adventure I shall go back and fully stock it."

When he opens the door, it is of course empty. The Doctor then moodily reflects on there never being a temporal paradox around when you need one.
