He thoughtfully sipped his brandy, remembering how he used to be. "I never really let anybody else fly the TARDIS before him. I used to let Jack work on the engine, but that was about it. It wasn't until later that I gradually felt comfortable enough to let others fly her. He also came out of the Time War. He... I.. was alone for most of that time, and you know how I get when I travel alone. A little funny in the head." And by funny, the Doctor meant not very fun at all.
