Jefferson Airplane was a band known in the 1960s counterculture. In the 1980s, they were renamed Jefferson Starship. Jefferson Starship recorded "We Built This City", which was largely panned on the basis that it did not fit in to the image or "brand" established by Jefferson Airplane.

Starship from the Future
"Spearhead from Space"has The Doctor kidnapped from his bed and taken to a storeroom for interrogation; he escaped through a window after feigning unconsciousness.The Autons were defeated in the end by a high-frequency sound Liz arranged to have transmitted from Broadcasting House at the Doctor's request. Sam Seeley is accompanied by a son.
"The Ambassadors of Death", features an army character named Lieutenant Pollard. Professor Heldorf is instead a German Scientist named Professor Kuhn(though the villains are not Irish, which almost happened but was stopped due to the Troubles going on at the time).
"The Circles of Power" by Brian Hayles. A new communications satellite, designed by Sir Walter Llewellyn, is launched to link computers across Europe and America. However, it has been sabotaged by a radical scientist named Tilverton, who believes his inventions are being suppressed by commercial concerns. This precipitates an escalating number of computer-related incidents across the globe — including the release of robotic “sensorspheres” which can induce amnesia in any person not wearing a special pendant. The pendant actually denotes membership in the Circles of Powers, a secret cabal led by Llewellyn and which has made a pawn of Tilverton. The Doctor discovers that Llewellyn plans to use the global chaos to ignite a third World War, and stops the evacuation of Government officials which would have triggered this stage of the plan. An orbital missile destroys the satellite, and when the Doctor inverts the sensorspheres' programming, the robots wipe the minds of Llewellyn and his co-conspirators.
"The Mists of Madness" by Brian Wright. The Doctor discovers an artificially-created human community.
"The Mutant" by Barry Letts. Concerned a race of creatures which underwent dramatic mutations, like a caterpillar evolving into a butterfly, over the span of their lifetimes.
"The New Machines" by Roger Dixon. A race of people created powerful robots, but were subsequently wiped out. The robots have now become so advanced that they are, in turn, able to create a new race of people. They fear that these new humans will dominate them, and see the arrival of the Doctor on their planet as confirmation of their fears.
"The Sleepwalkers" by Roger Dixon. The TARDIS lands on far-future Earth, where a great conflict has reduced the world's populace to only a few hundred, living in isolated communities ignorant of each others' existence. One such community is made up of quarrelling Elders and young people who are dependent upon robots for their subsistence; however, these robots have recently stopped functioning. The Doctor realises that the robots are powered by hydroelectricity, and uses a fire and some silver iodine powder to bring about a rainstorm. This solves the problem, but also attracts the attention of another community, whose more warlike denizens attack. The Doctor is finally forced to modify some robots for use as weapons. Pacified, the attackers soon agree to work together with the Elders and their younger counterparts. However, before the Doctor can deactivate all the modified robots, two of them manage to construct a primitive TARDIS and escape.
"Starship from the Future" is the first part of a crossover with Star Trek, the first part being an episode of said show called Time Lord. The Crossover's first part aired as a Star Trek Episode and then next part followed as a Doctor Who episode. The Crossover involved the Enterprise detecting a strange object(the Tardis), following it, the Enterprise found itself back in time, in the 1970's. The crew meets the Doctor and are warned of a plot by the Master, who has allied with a time displaced crew of Klingons that followed the Enterprise led by Kirk's Klingon nemesis Kor. Daleks and Cyberman also briefly cameo as both sides team up to defeat their foes and the Doctor aids the Enterprise in returning to its own time. Interesting notes is the tricorder reading the Doctor as not human, the Enterprise crew having heard of U.N.I.T. but not the Doctor, and the mandatory joke of McCoy's statement of "Dammit Jim, I'm a Doctor not the Doctor". (Yeah while an awesome concept, that Wacky Redhead basically conceived of the crossover first, though this will not be the only Crossover the two franchises have in this universe).

Season 8
Terror of the Autons
The Mind of Evil
The Claws of Axos.
The Hollow Men
The Spare-Part People
Colony in Space
Twin World
The Daemons
"Terror of the Autons" has the Troll Dolls play a bigger role in the story's climax, explaining the Master's interest in the circus, which is used to distribute the toys. The serial is set on a tropical locale as the Autons and Troll Dolls and Daffodils are activated by Heat, with the Master using an Auton version of himself as a decoy in the climax.
In "The Mind of Evil", the Brigadier is captured at Stangmoor Prison along with the Doctor and Jo; under the influence of the Master's hypnotism, he had the missile's route changed to enable the Master's men to hijack it. One of the weapons used by the Keller Machine was the image of a Gorgon-like monster, which the Doctor eventually destroys by showing it its own reflection in the mirror of the missile transport. The script also plays up the tension between the United States and China, with Chin Lee attempting to frame an American delegate for Chang Teik's murder.
"The Claws of Axos" was original preposed as a Second Doctor story by Bob Baker and Dave Martin as a seven-part story featuring the Second Doctor. It involved evil aliens who land in Hyde Park in a skull-shaped spacecraft, and featured spaceship battles and even a giant carrot crashing into the park(unlike OTl the story is not bogged down for budget reasons). The use of Axonite is demonstrated on a rat instead of a toad. Scenes included are a Meet Cute between Jo and Bill and the Brigadier daydreaming of having Chinn taken out the back and shot through the head.
"The Hollow Men" by Brian Hayles. Following the death of his wife from heart disease, the wealthy Sherman P. Rayburn is determined to set up an institute to propel advances in medical science. However, his investments in this project have depleted his financial resources, and the government refuses to assist him. Enraged, Rayburn turns to a discovery made by one of his scientists, Professor Martin, who has found a way to turn a rabbit into a “negative” which can pass through normal, “positive” materials. Rayburn forces Martin to use the procedure to create a squad of commandos with which he can raid government treasuries. UNIT is helpless to stop them until, during their final assault on the Bank of England, the Doctor convinces the commandos that Rayburn has concealed the truth from them: the procedure is irreversible. The shadow squad turns on Rayburn and destroys him.
"The Spare-Part People", aka "The Brain Drain" or "The Labyrinth", by Jon Pertwee and Reed de Rouen. The Doctor poses as Cambridge don Dr. John Madden to investigate a spate of celebrity disappearances. He is kidnapped by mummy-like beings who take him to Antarctica, where a hidden civilisation exists. There the Doctor participates in brutal games and combats a monster which dwells in a labyrinth.
"Twin World" by Roger Dixon. On a planet in a binary star system, every birth produces twins who are the polar opposites of one another. The power of the ruling twins is governed by the prominence in the sky of the planet's two suns. As the Doctor arrives, the sun related to the evil twin is about to enter a prolonged period of ascendancy, and the good people of the world fear that by the time this period ends, their planet may be doomed. The Doctor saves the day with the use of a simple invention.
Season 9
Day of the Daleks
The Brain-Dead
The Shape of Terror
The Curse of Peladon
The Sea Devils
The Mutants
The Time Monster
"Day of the Daleks" Terry Nation returned to write, finding a gap while working on The Persuaders! The Serial Ends with the Doctor and Jo going back to the lab, and seeing their earlier selves working at the TARDIS console. It was established that all the Daleks infected with the Human Factor at the climax of "The Evil of the Daleks" had been eradicated, indicating that that story was not the “final end” of the Daleks after all.
"The Brain-Dead" by Brian Hayles. The Ice Warriors, led by Commander Kulvis, plan to invade modern-day Earth using a weapon called the "Z" beam, which is capable of freezing anything it touches to absolute zero. In particular, the Ice Warriors can use it to freeze a human brain, turning the afflicted individual into a subservient Brain-Dead. The Ice Warriors hijack a communications satellite and use it to take over the crew of its receiving station, whom they set to work constructing a giant "Z" beam transmitter. They plan to use the satellite network to broadcast the "Z" beam around the world, enslaving mankind and adjusting the Earth's climate to something suitable for Martian habitation. Realising that metals are extremely conductive at absolute zero, the Doctor overloads the "Z" beam transmitter just at the point of broadcast, destroying the Ice Warriors and the Brain-Dead.
"The Shape of Terror" by Brian Hayles. A rescue team led by Commander Hallett is summoned to research station Pi Delta 6 on the planet Medusa Centaurus. Hallett arrives to find the station deserted, and his security officer, Garford, believes it has been attacked by pirates. Indeed, when the TARDIS brings the Doctor and Jo to Pi Delta 6, Garford accuses them of being associated with the pirates. In fact, the station has fallen victim to the Energid, a shapeshifting protoplasmic entity which can absorb people's brains. The Energid wishes to merge with the Doctor, but when the Energid attempts the fusion, the Doctor manages to rally the minds of those whom the Energid had previously consumed, and the creature is destroyed.
"The Curse of Peladon" is different due to the last two episodes existing(OTL elements from them were recycled into the Curse of Peladon).
"The Sea Devils" includes the Doctor water-skiing, which was to be used as the excuse for Jo and him being late to the Master's prison(OTL this did not happen due to bad weather). The Setting is on an oil rig instead of a sea fort(OTL this did not happen due to Michael Briant being unable to obtain permission to film on one).
"The Mutants" includes a subplot about cloning. To effect Ky's transformation, the Doctor initially had to turn the crystal into a liquid form and inject it into Ky's neck; the Solonians' final mutated form was an iridescent globe.
Season 10
The Three Doctors
The Carnival of monsters
Frontier in Space
Planet of the Daleks
The Green Death
"The Three Doctors" the Time Lords are in conflict with a Federation of Evil led by a personification of Death. To avert all-out war, the Time Lords manage to convince the Federation to allow them to send the three Doctors into the Federation's Underworld domain. There, the Doctors do battle against various realisations of Death — including zombies, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the Hindu goddess Kali, and the cyclops Polyphemus from Greek mythology — with the victor in the contests determining whether the Time Lords or the Federation of Evil would prevail. Jamie McCrimmon returned and had a romance Joe(OTL the actor was busy with Emmerdale, which he still does but with a slightly different schedule). We see his father die, and he becomes the master of his family Castle. Zoe also returned and is brought to the present time of the Third Doctor, providing the interesting development of a character from the future in the past. The First Doctor actively participates( OTL William Hartnell's arteriosclerosis prevented this but here it's Peter Cushing instead).
"Frontier in Space" has the Draconians be like the post-Napoleonic Hapsburgs, although their eventual execution was more akin to a Japanese shogunate, something conceived by Malcolm Hulke. The Cybermen are introduced as working with the Master. A sequence in which a large monster attacks the Cybermen is kept in(Terrence Dicks thought the episode suffered for it).
(Surprisingly this Season was very limited on changes, including cancelled episodes).
Season 11
The Time Warrior
Invasion of the Dinosaurs
Death to the Daleks
The Monster of Peladon
Planet of the Spiders
The Final Game
"The Time Warrior" featured Bob Hoskins to play Irongron. The Doctor kills Linx by shooting an arrow into his probic vent. Sarah Jane Smith is also interrogated by Linx and reveals she is from the year 1974(OTL this line was cut, resulting in a now infamous dating controversy in which the UNIT stories are implied to take place in either the 60's or the 70's. The episode also contained a full scale battle scene of knights in armour attacking the castle(OTL Terrance Dicks realized this was too much for the show's budget).
"Death to the Daleks": Exxilon is instead a jungle planet. The Daleks escaped with the cure, but the humans worked with the Exxilons to set them back on the path to advancement and were given more of the cure in return.
"The Monster of Peladon" was a direct sequel to "The Curse of Peladon", taking place only slightly later in the reign of that serial's King Peladon. In this version of the story, Ortron and Eckersley are working together to turn Peladon into an independent world reaping the profit from the demand for trisilicate. Thalira is one of the king's advisors — who had been due to marry him but rejected him following his affair with Jo Grant — and Sarah and Eckersley are romantically involved. The Ice Warriors are defeated when the Doctor managed to transmit word of their treachery to the Federation, who blockade and threaten to destroy the Ice Warrior planet.
"The Final Game" by Robert Sloman. The Doctor and the Master are revealed to be two aspects of the same person: the Master representing the "id" (instinctual needs and desires) and the Doctor the "ego" (conscious perception of and adaptation to reality). The Master ultimately perishes in an explosion which saves the lives of the Doctor and others; it remains unclear if this was a final act of redemption on the villain's part. Despite the Master's sacrifice, the Doctor is still wounded and must regenerate, this time thanks to the Master giving him his own Regeneration Energy to ensure this. This Episode created in response to Roger Delgado's desire for the Master to be written out of the series because his attachment to the programme was making it difficult for him to find other work.(OTl This story only got as far as a single conversation between Sloman and Barry Letts before Delgado's untimely death in a car accident while shooting The Bell of Tibet which led to Jon Pertew also leaving due to losing enthusiasm for the role since he and Delgado were good friends). The Master being a part of the Doctor also explains why the Master could not simply kill the Doctor. Jon Pertwee would leave the show due to Delgado also departing.

I wonder if we could see stronger MGM and UA here. Maybe with each company remaining separate. Potential owners: Turner, Metromedia, Hearst, Gannett, Televisa, Virgin, Berkshire Hathaway, Bally, News Corporation, the BBC, RCA, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Hershey, Viacom, CBS, Westinghouse, Time, Motown Records, Disney, Levi Strauss & Co., Stratton Oakmont, Visa, and AT&T.
Does anything happen to Alice in Wonderland, or anything else related to Lewis Carrol, or any adaptations of his work ITTL?
I don't have details for that sorted out yet. I will however be posting another Doctor Who Post. Since the 4th Doctor's tenure is the longest I will keep adding Seasons one by one.
Doctor Who(The Baker Era): 1974-1981
Doctor Who
The Baker Era
Season 12
Robot
Space Station
The Ark in Space
The Sea of Fear
The Sontaran Experiment
Genesis of the Daleks
Revenge of the Cybermen
"Robot" had Tom Baker convince Barry Letts that it would be a great idea for the robot to sing "There's An Old Mill by the Breeze", as the actor, Michael Kilgarriff, had a lot of knowledge of music hall songs. The robot is commanded to sing in the section.
"Space Station" by Christopher Langley is set on a far-future space station during a period when mankind is no longer living on Earth. Leads into the Ark in Space.
"The Ark in Space" concerns a massive space ark carrying cryogenically-frozen humans, which has been invaded by the Delc. The Delc are fungi, grown from spores floating in space. The primary Delc take the form of floating heads, while their servitors appear as headless bodies. The Delc are impervious to most harm because any impact just causes the release of more spores. Fortunately, the Doctor eventually discovers that the Delc are susceptible to electrocution, and ultimately knocks the primary Delc out into space with a golf club. The character Vira is black and possibly Haitian(originally intended).
"The Sea of Fear" by Brian Hayles. The TARDIS lands on an island where the ape-like Simiads and the amphibious Zelons are at war. The conflict is being provoked by technicians from Research Inc under the command of Director Korbyn. Research Inc has travelled back in time from Earth City in the far future in order to determine which of the two races is an ancestor of Man. Once this is known, any denizens of Earth City who manifest the other race's lineage will be purged under the orders of the Great Leader. But the Great Leader knows that he is of Simiad strain and has planted an agent, Dr. Rojel, amongst the Research Inc staff to tip the scales against the Zelons. However, the Doctor discovers that pollution from the Research Inc facility is having a degenerative effect on the Simiads — which Korbyn tries to cover up by activing a self-destruct mechanism. The Doctor stops him by using the TARDIS to scramble the signal, and reveals that the Simiads and Zelons are actually two forms of the same race.
"The Sontaran Experiment" was set in the future, an idea of Bob Baker and Dave Martin was to incorporate some relics of human civilisation to imply that the story was actually set where London had once stood — for instance, by having the top of Nelson's column poking up out of the ground in homage to Planet of the Apes (1968). A subplot that revealed Styre was controlling Vural's mind was kept in.
"Genesis of the Daleks" originally had an idea by Terry Nation that was rejected due to being too similar to earlier Dalek Stories. Terrence Dicks suggested doing a Dalek origin story. The Doctor's meeting with the Time Lord takes place in a lush garden. The role of a Kaled officer named General Greiner was kept(OTL it was replaced by Ravon) while Sevrin was paired with a second Muto named Marrass. Terry Nation had the Mutos be much more bestial in appearance, their forms usually hidden by their rags. Episode three contained a subplot where Sarah contracts radiation poisoning, a nod to a similar story strand in "The Daleks". Episode five has more action in the Dalek incubator room and ended with the Doctor's question of whether he had the right to destroy them. The Thal soldiers are originally boys aged 15 or 16 to illustrate the youth of those fighting in the war.
"Revenge of the Cybermen" follows Gerry Davis's original script with space station Nerva as a sort of galactic service station with a casino, whose gold is used against the Cybermen. Most of the action took place on board the Nerva beacon. The Nerva crew included a scientist named Anitra Berglund, and Warner(Female ITTL). The Cybermen have been smuggled onto Nerva by Kellman before the story begins, with the aim of destroying a gold-rich asteroid in the station's vicinity. Kellman has betrayed a group of miners (led by a man named Evans, and also including Jones and Williams) who have been marooned on the asteroid for a quarter of a century; they eventually kill him by dynamiting a tunnel. The Doctor manages to reprogram the Cybermats to destroy the Cybermen using gold dust he has retrieved from the asteroid. The Cybermen appear much earlier, explaining the presence of the Cybermats on the Beacon(OTL they do not arrive until the end of Part Two, so how the Cybermats got onto the Beacon is never explained). Cybermen costumes from "The Invasion" were used(OTL only two suits had survived and in poor condition). Realizing the old and outdated versions of the suits were impractical, the BBC wished to create new ones. The Original Star Trek Series had ended its 5 years Mission and had a large budget in its own right, more than Doctor Who, so a second crossover was proposed in which the Cybermen would be the antagonists, created by the Star Trek team. Star Trek having been finished meant the Crossover would be entirely a Doctor Who story, plus the BBC would get to keep the Cybermen suits.
Season 13
Terror of the Zygons
the Angarath
Planet of Evil
Pyramid of Mars
The Android Invasion
The Eyes of Nemesis
Fires of the Starmind
The Menday Fault
The Brain of Morbius
The Seeds of Doom
"Terror of the Zygons" placed a far greater emphasis on the Skarasen and the loch.
"The Angarath" by Eric Pringle. Concerned a race of people offering human sacrifices to sentient rocks.
"Planet of Evil"has Sorenson dying after falling into the pit, though Sorenson was seen as a victim of the planet's influence rather than an evil man in himself.
"Pyramids of Mars" follows Griefer's original script where the Doctor and his companion attend a conference on food reserves at the British Museum, along with The Brigadier (who it was suggested might be killed off during the adventure). The Doctor's friend Professor Fawzi and his partner, Dr. Robertson, are there to unveil their work on a new type of grain which can flourish on the surface of the Moon, thereby solving the world's hunger problems. However, the conference is soon attacked by the crocodile-like Egyptian god Sebek and his army of mummies. Sebek and his master, Seth, are aliens who came to Earth millennia ago intent on conquest, but were placed in suspended animation via a powerful artifact called the Eye wielded by Horus, another of their kind. Having reawakened, they now intend to replace Fawzi and Robertson's grain with one which will result in the Moon's disintegration — which, in turn, will have catastrophic effects on Earth. The Doctor manages to locate Seth's resting place beneath an Egyptian pyramid, and is assisted by Horus and another deity, Isis, in defeating Seth and destroying the probe in mid-flight. Ernie Clements survives the story.
"The Android Invasion" The Brigadier appears in this story, replacing Colonel Farraday. A key plot element is that the Kraal androids were in fact mirror images of the people they were imitating, and this was how the Doctor deduced that “Sarah Jane” was actually a robot. Terry Nation had the Kraals be somewhat insectoid in appearance. Harry died saving Sarah.
"The Eyes of Nemesis" by Brian Hayles. On an alien planet, an old beggar named Lakdem is pursued by Myrron androids, but is immune to their destructive weaponry. The TARDIS materialises, and the Doctor is captured by the Myrron commander, Torr. Sarah takes Lakdem back to the TARDIS, where he sheds his skin to become a younger man. Together, they rescue the Doctor and Lakdem sets the coordinates to take the TARDIS to his planet of origin, the secret world of Oinos. There, he reveals that he is also an android originally created by the Kraals: one of Thirteen Watchers tasked by Death and infused with awesome power to wander the universe and observe its progress. However, Torr has tracked the TARDIS to Oinos and reveals that he serves the Celestial Toymaker, who desires Death's power for himself. The Doctor challenges the Toymaker, and the distraction allows Lakdem to accelerate time around the Myrrons, destroying them utterly.
"Fires of the Starmind" by Marc Platt. Information in the Time Lord libraries is stored on photons. A sentient star uses this as a means of invading Gallifrey.
"The Menday Fault" by David Wiltshire. The Doctor and Sarah Jane join the crew of the Thor, an experimental nuclear submarine attempting to set a new depth record by entering the Fault of Menday in the Bermuda Triangle. The Fault turns out to be a passageway to a subterranean world, and the Thor is captured by a race called the Suranians, led by Zorr. The Suranians' world is lit by a glowing cloud of gas that is beginning to fade, and so Zorr wants to use the Polaris missiles aboard the Thor to invade the surface world. He threatens Sarah's life to force the Doctor's cooperation, but she is saved by Nephus, a merman-like Trelw. Nephus' people are being mind-controlled by the Suranians, but the Doctor manages to destroy the transmitter, inciting a rebellion. Nephus kills Zorr, and the Thor is able to the return to the surface world.
"The Brain of Morbius" is the Terrance Dicks' version, which involves a space criminal called Morbius crash-landing onto a planet, and his robot servant — who lacks any sense of aesthetics — assembling a new body for him from other aliens, in ignorance of their vastly differing physiognomies. Dicks drew partly upon the costumes for the Clawrantulars, creatures which had appeared in Seven Keys to Doomsday, for the crab-like elements of Morbius' new body.
"The Seeds of Doom"brings the Brigadier and Benton back for the final episode.
Season 14
The Hand of fear
The Dreamers of Phados
The Face of Evil
The Talons of Weng-Chiang
When Sarah Jane Smith's actress Elisabeth Sladen was ready to leave the show, one proposed idea for her departure was to have her Killed Off for Real as the Sudden Downer Ending of a serial. A seemingly dead enemy would have managed to shoot her, with the Doctor breaking down and embracing her body upon realizing what happened. The last scene would have taken place the next morning, with other characters seeing her funeral pyre burning just as the TARDIS was dematerialising.
"The Hand of Fear" has the original outline set in the 1990s, at a time when technology and the military are forbidden. Sarah is sent to live in a commune while the Doctor is despatched to a labour camp. There he meets the aged Brigadier — now part of EXIT, the Extraterrestrial Xenological Intelligence Taskforce — and discovers that an anthropologist named Mountford has unearthed a mysterious fossilised hand. The hand takes control of Mountford's mind and forces him to transport it to the Nuton nuclear reactor, which is in the process of being decommissioned. There, the radiation allows the hand to regenerate into its original form: a creature called an Omegan made of teryllium, which has travelled to Earth from inside a black hole. It transpires that there are actually two Omegans at work on Earth, representing different factions of their people. The “hawk” Omegans wish to destroy humanity, while the “dove” Omegans simply want to remove mankind as an interstellar threat. They have accomplished this by slowly devolving men into ape-like Trogs, which manifested itself early on as the backlash against science. Sarah is now undergoing the same transformation. This is undone, however, when the “hawk” Omegan (who crashlanded on Earth, necessitating his reconstitution at Nuton) destroys his “dove” counterpart. He then flees Earth in the other Omegan's spaceship, having configured Nuton to explode and obliterate the planet. At the last second, the Doctor manages to redirect the power of the blast to fuel an experimental rocket called the Icarus. Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart commandeers the Icarus and uses it to pursue the Omegan, ultimately sacrificing himself by ramming the enemy vessel head-on, preventing it from impacting with the Earth. The Episode also includes key character, Lieutenant Hawker. Along with the calcified hand, an Omegan spaceship (referred to as “the Monolith”) is discovered at the start of episode one, and became central to the storyline, serving as the location of the adventure's climax. The separate factions of Omegans were excised. Baker and Martin also introduced a new supporting character, in the form of a Time Lord named Drax. An untrustworthy Gallifreyan mechanic who wants to steal the TARDIS. Drax became a possible recurring character.
"The Dreamers of Phados" by Chris Boucher. Set on a colony ship which has been home to a civilisation spanning many generations.
"The Face of Evil" has Tomas named Loke and has a more prominent role though Leela still gets more focus.
"The Talons of Weng-Chiang" reveals The true identity of Weng-Chiang as the desiccated, decomposing Master, this justifies the time cabinet and the plan to restore himself through the life energy of others.
Season 15
Horror of Fang Rock
The Invisible Enemy.
Image of the Fendahl
The Sun Makers
Killers of the Dark
The Krikkitmen
Invasion of Time
"Horror of Fang Rock" This story, the Season 15 opener, was written as a replacement for a vampire-based story by the same writer called "The Vampire Mutations" because the BBC's classic serial adaptation of Dracula was set to air in 1977 and they thought Who doing a similar story would take the shine off of it. The Vampire mutations would be released later.
"The Invisible Enemy" has K-9 depart with the Doctor and Leela.
"Image of the Fendahl" has Max Stael shoot himself on-camera.
"The Sun Makers" has The Collector as a large, corpulent figure, which is why Hade calls him things like "Your Immensity". Director Pennant Roberts had the giant credit cards featured in the story resemble Barclaycards. Veet's lines instead go to a character named Rashif.
Scenes from the Episode depicting the race of Cat People.
"Killers of the Dark", by David Weir. Concerned a race of cat people originally native to Gallifrey(OTL this was an idea cut due to going over the budget, with a scene involving a giant stadium full of cat people often cited. The show's bigger budget allows it to be made and it leads into the Season Finale in which the Time Lords are revealed to not be originally from Gallifrey).
Title Card for the Krikkitmen
"The Krikkitmen" by Douglas Adams. Two million years ago, the inhabitants of the planet Krikkit built a race of androids called the Krikkitmen to wipe out all life in the universe. They were stopped by the Time Lords, who trapped Krikkit within a temporal prison. Now, however, a group of Krikkitmen which escaped the Time Lords' sentence are trying to reassemble the components of a key which can free Krikkit — components of which happen to resemble elements of the Earth game of cricket, itself actually a reflection ro the ancient war. The Doctor and Sarah stumble upon this plot when they see the Krikkitmen steal the Ashes during a test match at Lords. They then travel to the planet Bethselamin to foil the next step in the Krikkitmen's quest. This idea was later revived in Adams' third Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book, Life, the Universe and Everything, which crossed over with Doctor Who later on when it received a Television adaptation with the idea being that several Krikkitmen split off, one group being defeated in Hitchhiker's and the other in Doctor Who.
"The Invasion of Time" kills off Leela, who dies defending the Doctor from the Sontarans. The story was written by Robert Holmes. It was revealed that the Time Lords were not native Gallifreyans, but rather had been permitted to construct their Citadel there in return for ensuring that the planet's populace lived in total comfort and security. It was these indigenous Gallifreyans that Leela met following her banishment. The Doctor's actions as President threw the Time Lords into open civil war, and part two ended with several rebellious Time Lords threatening to execute the Doctor. The Vardans also betrayed the Doctor, ordering his annihilation at the close of episode three. After Leela's departure, Elisabeth Sladen was approached to return to the series as Sarah Jane. However, she declined, and thus Romana was created instead.
Season 16
The Ribos Operation
The Pirate Planet
The Stones of Blood
The Androids of Tara
Shield of Zarak
The Armageddon Factor
"The Ribos Operation" has the jethrik as being more important because its actually a source of incredible energy which could power a fleet of spaceships.
"The Pirate Planet" followed Douglas Adams' original outline, which involved a planet which is being mined by the Time Lords, who use a giant aggression-sapping machine (disguised as a statue) to pacify the natives. One Time Lord (stuck in the slow-time field, in the midst of his last regeneration) becomes trapped in the statue and absorbs all the aggression, inducing him to turn against his people. He causes the mining devices to hollow out the planet and now plans to make it dematerialise and reform around Gallifrey. Adams uses a drug addiction allegory, about a company which preys on people who fear death by offering machines which can slow time for them — but at an exorbitant price. The company goes bankrupt, however, leaving one old lady in need of a source of fantastic energy.
"The Stones of Blood" The Ogri(the stone creatures worshipped in "The Angarath) return, revealed to rocky-skinned humanoids who looked like regular stones only when stationary. The Ogri simply crush people. The Megara are depicted as floating metal orbs.
"The Androids of Tara" by David Fisher has Tara populated by animals resembling creatures of legend, such as unicorns (which might be natural or mechanical), and has Till as a dwarf rather than a hunchback.
"Shield of Zarak", aka "The Doppelgangers" or "Shield of Zareg", by Ted Lewis. Dealt with the notion that legendary heroes might, in reality, have been the antithesis of the way history would ultimately portray them. Apparently, the specific example planned was to have the Doctor and Romana encounter Robin Hood in their search for the fourth segment of the Key to Time, only to discover that the alleged hero was actually a blackhearted villain. Lewis was unfamiliar with Doctor Who and it was clear that the scripts needed work. He had also begun a descent into alcoholism amidst marital difficulties, and was drunk when he met with Graham Williams and Anthony Read to discuss the script. Fortunately he sobered dup by the next meeting and the idea was refreshed into a more suitable format.
"The Armageddon Factor" has the reappearance of Drax, this time becoming an elderly eccentric similar to the aged prisoner from The Count of Monte Cristo. Both Atrios and Zeos are populated. Astra (originally “Reina”, a name later changed to avoid confusion with Prince Reynart from "The Androids of Tara") was an astrophysicist who had discovered the Shadow's planet lying between the two warring worlds. The conflict had arisen because Atrios and Zeos blamed each other for a catastrophic shift in their orbits; they were being egged on by the Shadow, known as “the Presence” on Atrios and “the Voice” on Zeos. The Doctor was forced to use the makeshift Key To Time to temporally freeze both planets' armies. The Shadow's own shadow turned out to be the sixth segment of the Key To Time. His plan was to use the powers of the Key to pit one half of the universe in war against the other half. The Doctor stopped the Shadow by unfreezing the Atrian and Zeon armies and giving each the coordinates of the Shadow's “Castle of Evil”. The Black Guardian is not yet introduced, the Doctor simply decided that he did not trust the White Guardian with the Key, and consequently scattered the six segments again to prevent anyone from controlling it. This was changed when the actor couldn't reprise his role.
Season 17
Destiny of the Daleks
The Doomsday Contract
Erinella
The Tearing of the Veil
the Valley of the Lost
City of Death
The Gamble of Time
The Creature from the Pit
Shada
Graham Williams and Douglas Adams seriously considered having Romana be played by a different actress in every story in Season 17, before deciding that it would be too much work and too stressful on the writers. Romana was written into a scene in which she was injured and regenerated.
"Destiny of the Daleks" takes place mostly at night. K-9 was trapped in the TARDIS due to a rockfall, while the Daleks searched for Davros because he can supply information about special circuitry which will help them break the deadlock.
"The Doomsday Contract", aka "Shylock", by John Lloyd. While vacationing on Cimmerian II, the Doctor is summoned before the Altribunal of Coelare Coelum, an intergalactic court. He has been called as a witness in a millennia-old case in which the Plenum Trust Corporation (whose Executive Vice President, Smilax, is an old friend) is opposing the purchase of the Earth by Cosmegalon and its unscrupulous owner, Jugend Bruisa. Plenum had been testing the Spondilas Chamber — an incredibly powerful device capable of polymorphing matter — when Cosmegalon bought the Earth via dubious means. Now Smilax fears that Chamber falling into Bruisa's hands. In court, the Doctor gives evidence that the Earth is home to intelligent life, which by law would nullify Cosmegalon's ownership. He is sent to Earth to retrieve a human as proof. Arriving in mediaeval Yorkshire, the Doctor is prevented from completing his task by the monstrous Children of Pyxis, who have been despatched by Cosmegalon. Fortunately, he is saved from death by the timely intervention of Smilax, and does manage to spirit away the Spondilas Chamber. Nonetheless, with the Doctor having seemingly failed, the court rules in Cosmegalon's favour. However, the Doctor tricks Bruisa and the Children of Pyxis into travelling to modern-day Earth near a missile base, where their ship is annihilated.
"Erinella", aka "Dragons of Fear", by Pennant Roberts. The Doctor, Romana and K9 arrive on the planet Erinella. There, the Doctor is immediately arrested and accused of poisoning a local noble. Indeed, everyone seems to recognise him, despite the fact that he's never been to Erinella before. Romana and K9 retreat to the woods where they meet Og, the keeper of Erinella's dragons. Meanwhile, the Doctor discovers that the true murderer is a Queen who is scheming to control all of Erinella. Moreover, he has accidentally arrived on the planet later than he was meant to. He escapes and travels back in time to set in motion the events that he has already witnessed. Romana convinces Og to send the dragons against the Queen, while the Doctor tricks her into confessing her crimes.
"The Tearing of the Veil" by Alan Drury. An evil force pursues the TARDIS to a Victorian vicarage, where the vicar's widow is being defrauded by phoney spiritualists. As supernatural phenomena grip the vicarage, the con artists are killed off one by one. Even K9 is apparently torn apart by a poltergeist, while much of the Doctor's life force is drained from him, turning him into a disinterested crank wandering about in his nightgown.
"Valley of the Lost" by Phillip Hinchcliffe. The Doctor and Romana travel to the jungles of Brazil, where they come upon a Luron scout ship which crashlanded in 1870. The vessel emits a bubble of time which has kept the surroundings preserved as they were then — including a lost city of gold, inhabited by Maygor savages who worship the only Luron survivor, Godrin, as their deity. Godrin convinces the Doctor to bring him to London, but once there uses modern technology to send a signal to the Luron fleet to commence an invasion of Earth. The Doctor and Romana manage to infiltrate the Luron mothership and take control of its power source. Faced with destruction, the Lurons agree to abandon their invasion.
"City of Death, Douglas Adams, was set in 1928 with the Doctor and Romana, aided by Bulldog Drummond-esque detective "Pug" Farquharson, on the trail of the stolen Mona Lisa. The story started with a close-up of the Doctor and Romana which pulled back to reveal them standing high atop the Eiffel Tower(OTL this was abandoned when the special lens rented for the sequence from a Spanish firm could not be made to fit the BBC camera). The artist who sketches Romana in the café was is a much more prominent figure called Bourget, who is in league with Scarlioni(Cut from the finished version).
The Gamble of Time, David Fisher, Continues off from City of Death, pursuing Scarlioni from Paris to Monte Carlo where his partner, the Baroness Heidi, is using time travel technology to cheat at roulette at the casino to fund Scarlioni's time travel experiments. The Doctor and Romana ultimately discover that Scarlioni is trying to journey back to prehistoric Earth and prevent the time bubble explosion in order to save his fellow Sephiroth, who are dying from an illness he believes is caused by radiation from the accident. However, the Doctor discovers that the culprit is actually the common cold virus, to which the Sephiroth have no immunity. Scarlioni agrees to let the time bubble accident happen, in order to spark the genesis of life on Earth. This episode was originally writeen
"The Creature from the Pit" follows David Fisher's original outline which revolves around Adrasta's attempts to claim the TARDIS for herself. K-9 eventually takes Adrasta away in the TARDIS, returning her — cowed and defeated — at the story's conclusion. Upon initially being thrown into the Pit, the Doctor is attacked by Hellyn, a former member of Adrasta's team of engineers. In the final episode, a battle fleet from Tithonus arrives, threatening to destroy Chloris with a photon missile. Erato and the Doctor travel into space in Erato's ship, and the Tithonian weaves a spacesuit for the Doctor, enabling him to reach the missile and disarm it.
The Dirk Gently series does not exist, as it came about due to a strike preventing "Shada" from being entirely filmed and the plot was used in that series. Here Shada is completed(Unused footage was used in "The Five Doctors" OTL but here is included in the actual episode( A Big Finish Audio story uses the script but the Eighth Doctor instead). The famous scene where the Doctor is chased by the orb while on a bicycle takes place at night.
Season 18
Meglos
State of Decay
Warrior's Gate
Into the Comet
The Psychonauts
Sealed Orders
The Keeper of Traken
Kinda
Logopolis
The Doctor and the Baker
"Meglos" retains Lexa's self-sacrifice as a more dramatic end for the character.
"State of Decay" has an old woman Time Lord hermit who tells the Doctor about the Great Vampire. Subplots involving townsfolk nocturnally wandering the forest like zombies and rebellious citizens being found with bat-like bite marks on their necks. Adric's character is introduced "an Artful Dodger in Space", though in his relationship with the Doctor, which lasted until the Fourth Doctor regenerated.
"Warriors' Gate" opens with an attack on the Privateer by an "Antonine Killer", which led to the ship becoming trapped at the Gateway. A crewman named Nestor is included. Stephen Gallagher's original script is intact. Romana does not depart.
"Into the Comet" by James Follett. Involved monsters attacking a race of beings who live inside Halley's Comet, unaware that there is anything beyond it.
"The Psychonauts" by David Fisher. The Doctor battles the Nephilim, creatures who travel through time in sleeping units shaped like sarcophagi.
"Sealed Orders" by Christopher Priest. A political thriller set on Gallifrey in which the Doctor is seemingly ordered to kill Romana by the Time Lords. A complex plot involving time paradoxes results in the appearance of a second Doctor (who dies) and lead to Romana's departure; it also involved the idea of time running into itself, resulting in one TARDIS existing inside another. Baker proposed that the series allow the Doctor to have a romantic moment with one of his companions, albeit as a joke. (Baker's idea: that the companion kiss him, the Doctor act shocked, but then decides he likes it and asks to be kissed again.). This idea was accepted and done with Romana II actress Lalla Ward.
"The Keeper of Traken" follows Johnny Byrne's original outline and is set in a mediaeval-type society, divided between the scientific Greys and the zealous Blacks, led by Hellas and Zorca, respectively. Zorca summons a being called Mogen he believes is a demon, but whom the Doctor later realises is the last survivor of a race of super-beings with fantastic mental abilities. Mogen wants to take control of the powerful Source in order to use Traken as the launching pad for galactic conquest. Zorca frames Adric for murder, and the cliffhanger for episode two originally involved the Doctor, Adric and Hellas on the brink of execution, about to be crushed between blocks of steel. A key element of part four was a stolen component from the TARDIS, which Mogen uses to construct a time disintegrator with which he plans to kill the Doctor.
"Kinda" is a Fifth Doctor story OTL, however it was intended to be a Fourth Doctor story and originally depicted the Doctor as a wise old sage. Here it is indeed a Fourth Doctor story.
"Logopolis", as per the plan of John Nathan-Turner, reintroduced a familiar companion to the regular cast to ease the transition from Tom Baker to Peter Davison after the former's seven year tenure in the lead role. Both Elisabeth Sladen and Louise Jameson were asked to to ask if they would like to reprise their parts as Sarah Jane Smith and Leela respectively. Neither were interested in going back to the programme, so Tegan was created instead.
"The Doctor and the Baker",John Brosnan. Brosnan was at the time writing for the magazine Starburst. He pitched the idea of the Doctor landing at the BBC Television Centre and meeting Tom Baker, the two working together to combat a threat. The episode became very meta as the Master's latest plan threated the entire Multiverse. This episode marked both the depature of Tom Baker, and the Doctor's regeneration.

Another good and interesting update.
Are there plans for city building games ITTL so far?
Are there plans for city building games ITTL so far?
Not immediate though there's a Certain Sim City game that actually works. May or may not have been made by EA OTL.
I personally really liked some stuff in SimCity 2015, like the customizable buildings, although I think Cities: Skylines becoming much more beloved was justified, I love the water physics and the modding community with that game.
Hi Everyone, Question. I just finished Tom Baker's Doctor Who run and I wanted to start taking breaks to prevent Doctor Who fatigue, so I'll begin posting a Doctor Who update, then an update on something else, then a Doctor Who update, and so on. I had a few other Posts in the works such as Marvel Movies and Sonic the Hedgehog, but I also have a lot of ideas for Web Originals(exclusive from Web Comics, as most of those ideas would change depending on other works such as Darths and Droids parodying a very different Star Wars and Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi and Grim Tales from Down Below Having plot based rewrites to remove some of the worse elements(underaged panty shots, incest implications, and so on). Also...Sonichu...God there's a lot to unpack regarding Chris Chan.
So I'll be doing a Marvel update because I wanted to catch Marvel Movies and TV up with DC since they both now have Dueling Cinematic Universes, also leading into an Alt-Version of the Justice League/Snyder Cut situation(similar to how the American Godzilla is alluded to but it's made in the 80's and not the 90's and is radically different).
Finally I have a question for all of you, a possible retcon. How would you feel if I had the creator of My Hero Academia, Kōhei Horikoshi, work at Marvel for the X-Men, essentially introducing My Hero Academia characters and stories when he takes over running the X-Men books. I did find out that American Magic did this. So my question is. would all of you be fine with this or would you prefer MHA existing as an Anime, which it still could if Marvel's Anime series are picked up again.

I will look forward to your chapters on Web Originals and Webcomics with great interest and faith.
Marvel should be interesting.
Unfortunately, I don't really know anything about MHA, so I can't really give a proper answer.
@techno @TheBalkanizer @FireDragon845 you three seem to be the most active on this thread other than me and Marco, what do you think of his plans?
sorry for the late reply. I am mostly neutral about it, but i think it could work out.
