The Yankee Doctor : The Story of the American Doctor Who Series (1964–Present)

A late 20th century popcultural timeline regarding an ATL history of Doctor Who, created by LordVetinari and contributed to greatly by The Chimera Virus.

You can read the timeline here (or, for greater ease of reading, use the chapter guide available below).


Premise and POD

A different set of circumstances leads Rod Serling to take a vacation in the UK during the premiere of the first series of Doctor Who. After striking a deal with the BBC and the American broadcaster NET, Serling attempts to bring Doctor Who to an American audience. This leads to gradual but increasingly divergent results in the world of anglophone popculture, and an ATL where a British and an American TV series of Doctor Who coexist and influence each other over the years.
