That was the Doctor
When William Hartnell looked over the TARDIS controls panel that wasn’t Matt Smith but the real doctor looking back at him.- The Doctor's TARDIS had been shoved into this parallel universe where his life was a TV show. The Tardis saw the set and matched it, materializing over the set.
Sequels will be made
- About the production during each Doctors tenure
- Or, more likely, two sequels chronicling the initial cancellation and revival, respectively. Doing each Doctor's run would get pretty boring, considering 2-5's time on the show were pretty uneventful.
- Well, there were a lot of moments during their runs that were pretty notable behind the scenes, such as Roger Delgado dying, Tom Baker's fallout with Lalla Ward, etc.
- Maybe the sequel to the cancellation will feature the Wilderness Years, such as the TV Movie, and pay tribute to Big Finish Doctor Who.
- This Troper thinks the best course for a sequel would be the show's 2005 beginning.
- Given what has since emerged about the production of that first series (Particularly the behavior of Noel Clarke and John Barrowman) and why Eccleston wanted out, this particular idea is not likely to come to fruition
- A full movie doesn't seem very likely, but perhaps a miniseries? Episode 1 could deal with the UNIT years, as that was a major shift to the format, and could address Nicholas Courtney's rise and the death of Roger Delgado. Episode 2 could be about Tom Baker's struggles during the "Golden Age" of classic Who. Episode 3 could deal with the cancellation, starting with "Warriors of the Deep" and dealing with the problems of the 6th and 7th Doctor's runs that killed the classic show. Episode 4 could revolve around the Wilderness years and deal with the TV Movie, Big Finish, and various failed attempts at revival. Episode 5 would probably be the last episode because everything else is too recent, and would deal with the successful 2005 revival, maybe even briefly touching upon the origin of David Tennant.
- Or, more likely, two sequels chronicling the initial cancellation and revival, respectively. Doing each Doctor's run would get pretty boring, considering 2-5's time on the show were pretty uneventful.
- This Troper's favorite ideas for sequels to this are:
- The UNIT years, highlighting the closeness of the main cast at the time and how Pertwee felt after it started to fall apart starting with Roger Delgado's death (They could even bring back some cast members from this movie for the parts based around "The Three Doctors")
- A movie/series focussing on John-Nathan-Turner, his efforts to update Doctor Who for the 80s and his struggles against an increasingly hostile BBC to keep the show going, complete with Downer Ending as the show gets cancelled in 1989 and JNT dies before he can see it truly revived
First Doctor cameos
David Bradley will appear in Doctor Who Proper as the first doctor. He has Hartnell's mannerisms down pat.- Not likely, which is a shame even for those who did like the 50th anniversary special. They had the set and actors who played their characters' characters beautifully: we could've had a team up between the first (televised) crew of the TARDIS and the current (as of 2013) crew. Oh well, it's nice to think about at least :)
- Confirmed! David Bradley will be playing The First Doctor in the 2017 Christmas Special for Peter Capaldi's last show.
- Bradley again played the First Doctor in 2022 for "Power of the Doctor". He has also played the role for a series of Big Finish audios.
Argus Filch (who is also played by David Bradley) is a Time Lord.
Hogwarts is his Tardis - bigger on the inside and amazing properties and all. The scene where William Hartnell looks over and sees Matt Smith
- That was really the Eleventh Doctor looking back at his First incarnation and telling him the plan to freeze Gallifrey in ''The Day of the Doctor".
- But why talk to an actor?
