From "[The Next Doctor](http://www.chakoteya.net/DoctorWho/30-14.htm)":

Ladies and gentlemen, I know that man, that Doctor on high. And I know that he has done this deed a thousand times. But not once. No, sir, **not once, not ever, has he ever been thanked.** But no more. For I say to you, on this Christmas morn, bravo, sir! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo, sir!

I suspect this statement is not 100% accurate, but oddly enough I can't actually think of a counterexample. Is there one?

I'm excluding times when he's thanked by a specific person, or for saving a specific person; this is about being thanked by a large number of nameless people who probably would've died (or worse) without him.
