Description

The DWM comic "TV Action!" (the title referencing a comics magazine in which early Doctor Who strips had appeared) has the Eighth Doctor and companion Izzy following a villain "into our world", ending up in the BBC studios where Tom Baker himself distracts the villain, allowing the heroes to save the day. Scream of the Shalka: A 2003 anniversary special by BBCi, which featured a Ninth Doctor played by Richard E. Grant. The TV series' return (announced two months earlier), however, meant the Shalka Doctor got overwritten in continuity. It also featured a cameo by a now somewhat well-known Who fan who basically insisted on having a part written just for him after hearing about the production from down the hall. It eventually was released on DVD in the fall of 2013. Doctor Who annuals. Included in this section as the majority of their fictional material was prose, although many also included comic strips. Originally published by World Distributors from 1965 to 1986, revived for a few years in the 1990s by Marvel Comics, and revived again in the 21st century. The 21st century saw separate publications of The Doctor Who Annual (mostly non-fictional material), The Doctor Who Storybook (fiction) and The Brilliant Book of Doctor Who (both fiction and non-fiction). During the 1960s and part of the 1980s, and since the show's revival, these had significant involvement by people connected with the TV series and the fictional content was quite close to the TV show. During the 1970s and other parts of the 1980s, this was notoriously not so, with art that barely resembled the TV actors and some extremely bizarre and OOC stories. Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe: A book that covers Dalek history with additional features including short prose and comic stories.

Racial Transformation: Various expanded universe canons depicted Time Lords having incarnations of a different race to their TV one(s), well before the TV show ever did: Doctor Who Pinball: Williams Electronics published a physical pinball game where the Master and Davros team up to hurl the first seven Doctors into the sun and only your pinball wizardry can rescue them and defeat the villains. FarSight Studios subsequently released a digital pinball game where the Master forms a Legion of Doom of the Doctor's greatest enemies, and the Twelfth Doctor calls on his previous incarnations and you, the player, for help.Cutaway Comics: Cutaway release miniseries focusing on various Whoniverse characters and settings absent the Doctor, TARDIS or companions, including Omega, Eldrad, Lytton, Orcini and Paradise Towers.

Monstrous Beauty, a three-part comic strip in Doctor Who Magazine featuring the Ninth Doctor and Rose (September-November 2020) The Krampus: Big Finish, the Titan Doctor Who comics, and the Doctor Who Magazine comic strip have all featured completely different and incompatible versions of the Krampus as one-shot villains. DWM has actually had two completely different versions in different stories!

Dreamland, a 2009 CGI-animated serial featuring Ten solo with "guest companions". Initially, it was shown on digital and online, before appearing on BBC Two. This is almost certainly in mainstream TV continuity, as one of its villain factions later turned up in The Sarah Jane Adventures. It was released on DVD in the Spring of 2010. Anyone Can Die: The Doctor Who Magazine comics famously killed off Ace, Big Finish sees Tegan dying of cancer, and Death Comes To Time even permanently killed the Doctor himself. Various works tend to throw in cheeky references to the fact that certain companions are dead in other continuities. Torchwood novels: Many of which were also adapted into audio books, which in turn spawned more novels, etc. See The Other Wiki for a full list . The choice is yours between those that reveal the name of your opponent's card to others that enable you to use a strong card repeatedly. Now this may sound like a contrived way of complicating a simple idea but it adds an extra layer of strategy and the timing of the use of these cards is essential for whittling down your opponent's hand. It also makes games against other DS owners using the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection particularly bitter and petty, though.

Tropes used in the games:

Dimensions In Time": The 30th anniversary special, doubling as a crossover with EastEnders. All five established Doctors whose actors were alive at that time, and a random assortment of companions, face off in Albert Square against the Rani. Doctor Who: Legacy: A free-to-play Match Three RPG puzzler for iOS and Android in which episodes of the show are re-enacted in the style of Puzzle & Dragons. Notable for its gorgeous art, solid gameplay and copious amounts of Continuity Porn, dipping its toes into the Expanded Universe at times. Doctor Who Novelisations: By Target. During the 70s and 80s, in the days before video took off, these were the way to catch up on previous Doctor Who stories. They retold (and frequently expanded on) the stories on TV, and several of them are highly acclaimed. Usually also available as audiobooks, read by the TV series actor(s). Almost every story from the classic series got a novelisation, with the TV Movie's being done by BBC Books; the five that didn't get one ("The Pirate Planet", "City of Death", "Shada", "Resurrection of the Daleks" and "Revelation of the Daleks") received fan novelisations courtesy of the New Zealand Doctor Who Fan Club. (If you noticed that three of the five are Douglas Adams stories, you're right. Adams wouldn't allow others to novelise his scripts, and - notorious procrastinator that he was - never did them himself. Also, with The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy having taken off in the meantime, Target Books was no longer able to afford the advances he commanded.) "Shada" eventually received an official novelisation by BBC Books in 2012, written by Gareth Roberts. "City of Death" also received a BBC novelisation in 2015; initially it was announced that it would again be by Roberts, but it was eventually written by Torchwood writer James Goss. A novelisation of "The Pirate Planet" by Goss came out in 2017, followed by his novelisation of another Adams-written work - the never-produced film Doctor Who and the Krikkitmen - in 2018. Novelisations of the other two "missing" stories, by their original writer Eric Saward, were finally published in 2019. The first full novelisations of stories from the revival series were released in 2018, with more following later.

a b "Top Trumps is the nostalgic card game everyone has played and it's made in Cornwall". Cornwell Live. 25 November 2022. Continuity Snarl: Different branches and franchises freely reference each other or contradict each other, and no single author has the power to say whether or not something is in continuity with something else. It's all a bit like a big tangled ball of multicoloured yarn, or perhaps wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey... stuff. Not least because quite a few authors, in every medium, will cheekily reference events or characters from nominally "different" continuities, just for laughs. Decalogs: A five-volume series of short story anthologies featuring the Doctor and his companions, also published by Virgin. Notably, Decalog 3: Consequences contained " Continuity Errors", later head writer's Steven Moffat's first contribution to the franchise. Following Virgin's loss of the Doctor Who license, Decalog 4: Re:Generations focused entirely on the family history of New Adventures companion Roz while the final volume, Decalog 5: Wonders, said "screw it" and was, with the exception of "The Judgement of Solomon" featuring Benny, an anthology of standalone sci-fi short stories completely unrelated to the Doctor Who franchise.

Erimem: A spin-off featuring the adventures of the Fifth Doctor Big Finish companion from Thebes Publishing. The key card was the Silver Surfer, whose 10 for Special Powers was unbeatable. He was blessed with decent Physical Strength, too, so selecting Weapons was your only way of defeating him. Then you had the anomaly of Galactus's Strength being only 8, while the Hulk's was 9. This effectively meant that despite Galactus being capable of destroying the planet that Hulk was standing on, he wouldn't be able to beat the angry green guy in an arm wrestle.
