The Whoniverse

What's this then?

Another DW TL

Oh No!

What?

There's far too many of them here

This is different

How?

Imagine this. Dr Who crossed with the Marvel Universe

You mean DW meeting the Hulk?

No

What then?

I mean different series set around the DW universe

Hmmm...
 
"The show was in a bad way in 1986. Ratings were plummeting, the effects were laughable and Colin's portrayal was lambasted left, right and centre. (Michael) Grade was dying to cancel it and he came within a whisper of doing so.

I was called to a meeting with him on the 5th floor. He told me that the next series would be the last. He asked me to oversee a storyline where the Doctor isn't killed off but left in some kind of time warp.

I said, 'Michael I can't and wont go down as the man who killed Doctor Who'

He asked me if I had something in mind. I said yes..."

We thought of three spin offs that could be made in lieu of DW's hiatus. The idea being that the series would be self contained at first and then in crossovers if the demand warranted it.

One golden thread that ran through the shows was that there was to be no mention of the Doctor at all. No TARDIS, no Daleks etc nothing at all. The idea being that the shows could stand as individuals so that if DW never returned there would be some reminders on TV
