Death Comes to Time was intended to lead into a new series following Time Lord the Minister of Chance, voiced by Creator/StephenFry. A longer ''Podcast/TheMinisterOfChance'' series was finally released in 2013, but with a new Minister. Both of these are largely regarded as an AlternateContinuity by the fandom and the official sources alike, though it gives one explanation of why the 7th Doctor in the TV Movie is travelling alone. A small minority seem to still consider this the end of ''Doctor Who'', with the TV Movie and revived series as FanonDiscontinuity.

It is also notable for revealing that "Time Lord" is not just some fancy moniker- here, the race actually possesses the power to be lords of time. But because these are [[StoryBreakerPower story-breaking powers]], [[GodzillaThreshold this is why this is only seen at the prospective end of the series.]]
