A webcast for Series/DoctorWho, which serves as a potential finale for Doctor Who. It was broadcast in 2001 and also released as an audio drama. It features [[TheNthDoctor The Seventh Doctor]], Ace, and TheBrigadier. Death Comes to Time was intended to lead into a new series following Time Lord the Minister of Chance, voiced by Creator/StephenFry. The Minister of Chance series was finally released in 2013, but with a new Minister. Both of these are largely regarded as non-canon by the fandom, though it explains why the 7th Doctor in the TV Movie is travelling alone. Some consider this the end of Doctor Who, using it to un-canonize the TV Movie and revived series.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Tannis' attack on Earth is stopped, Tannis is defeated but in the process the Doctor has apparently died and the age of the Time Lords is over.]]
* CallBack: UNIT emerging from behind the Moon looks back to their first appearance in ''The Invasion'', where the Cybermen had a fleet behind the Moon.
* DeathOfTheOldGods: [[spoiler: Happens at the end. Though the Time Lords are not fully wiped out, their time has apparently passed.]]
* GodsHandsAreTied: The reason why the Doctor, and other Time Lords, can't just stop Tannis. If the Time Lords use their powers it disrupts the Universe.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: The Doctor does this to stop Tannis killing Ace.]]
* RealityWarper: According to this story Time Lords are this, contradicting what we earlier saw of Time Lords, where they were SufficientlyAdvancedAliens.
* SmugSnake: General Tannis.
