1''The Little Red Doctor'' (aka DW 2012 Productions), is the unofficial Main/FanNickname for a ''Series/DoctorWho'' Main/FanFilm series set thousands of years after the current BBC Series (the protagonist claims to be [[Really700YearsOld ten thousand years old]], which is five times the age of the incumbent Doctor on the show proper, who has already [[TheFogOfAges long forgotten his real age]]). The Series was started by Website/YouTube user Creator/LukeNewman in 2013, and [=YouTube=] user Creator/DominicGreenwoodMartin will take over the role of the Doctor from him around the same time Creator/PeterCapaldi passes the torch to Creator/JodieWhittaker.

3The Series has been noted for its high production values, in comparison to many other similar fan films.

7!!Provides examples of:
8
9* ArcVillain: The Valeyard for [[spoiler: much of the first three Series, even if he only appears in the first-season 50th Anniversary Special and the]] Series 3 [[spoiler: finale]]. For Series 4, [[spoiler: Omega]].
10* ContinuityDrift: the 50th Anniversary special episode, was obviously made before the airing of Recap/DoctorWho50thASTheDayOfTheDoctor, and as such features a Gallifrey which has been destroyed in the Time War, and the Doctors all accept the Time Lords to be gone, despite being incarnations ahead of the Eleventh Doctor, the first to retain the memories of Gallifrey being saved during the Anniversary Special. Fast forward two years, on BBC One, the Twelfth Doctor returns to Gallifrey and meets the Time Lords in the Season 9 finale Recap/DoctorWhoS35E12HellBent. A few months later, on [=YouTube=], Luke Newman also goes back to Gallifrey, the implication of the Special merrily ignored.
11* DeadpanSnarker: rather unsurprisingly, the Master. It comes with the character, after all.
12* DemonicDummy: The First Cyberman in "Planet of the Cybermen" is patently a motionless dummy in froont of a blue screen, but kills its creator all the same.
13* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: Surprisingly, no one in the series invokes this trope when they meet Luke Newman's Doctor, who is perhaps the shortest person on the show. Well, except for his other selves.
14* GrowingTheBeard: Series 1 Episode 5: "The Nightmare Within" could be considered this, but the road becomes all up only from Series 3 Episode 3: "Power of the Puppeteer", where [[spoiler: ''The Master'' of all people comes in]]. The Series 3 finale and Series 4 (and its increas in budget) finally cement this show as something awesome.
15* LargeHam: once again, the Master. Rather surprisingly, ''not'' Davros, of all people (Luke Newman apparently cannot be hammy).
16* OlderThanTheyLook: should be a given in regards to the Doctor but, since nobody questions the fact that he looks like a teenager and acts really, really strange (something almost every normal person does in show proper), the suspension of disbelief is veeeery fragile.
17* PintSizedPowerhouse: Luke Newman ''may'' be short, but he's still playing [[OneManArmy the Doctor]].
18* TheReveal: [[spoiler: the Blonde Doctor whom Luke Newman's Doctor remembers being born from is actually the Master.]]
19* The ending of the Final Enigma features the reveal of [[spoiler: the next Doctor, as played by Dominic Greenwood-Martin.]]
20* ShapedLikeItself: As you would expect from the unofficial title of the show, the protagonist is a ''very'' short guy dressed in red. His immediate successor and predecessor are, by comparison, actually quite tall, to the point that the Previous Doctor [[SpecialEffectsFailure barely fits in the TARDIS's doorframe]].
21* TheManBehindTheCurtain/HijackedByGanon: it is revealed that the person behind the multi-doctor-meeting and the soul-stealing creature that is the antagonist of the episode broadcasted in occasion of the 50th Anniversary Special is [[spoiler: the Valeyard]].
