Doctor Who
The most excitingDoctor Whostory this year wo n’t be on television receiver at all , but instead in print and elsewhere . It ’s been a strange twelvemonth forDoctor Whofans ; while time of year 12 ca n’t be faulted on its ambition , the execution left a fortune to be desired . TheTimeless Child retcon , in special , open up up a muckle of story possibilities , but it also clashes importantly with the show ’s canyon and lore . The fanbase is divided , between those who are critical and others who remain cautiously optimistic aboutDoctor Who ’s future tense .
It will be some time beforeDoctor Whoreturns to the little concealment . For all that ’s the instance , though , the BBC has formally announced an ambitious new enterprise call " Time Lord Victorious , " featuring Paul McGann , Christopher Eccleston , and David Tennant as various incarnation of the Doctor .

Doctor Whohas a long account of embracing different metier , running all the way back to the popular Target novelizations penned by thelate Terrance Dicks . Indeed , after the classicDoctor Whoseries was delete in 1989 , these other spiritualist essentially keep the franchise animated until Russell T. Davies relaunched the show in 2005 . For all that ’s the casing , though , theDoctor Whofranchise has never done anything quite so ambitious . This is an actual transmedia report , a single story that runs across dissimilar platform . It ’s distinctly going to embrace novels , audiobooks , comics , rooter magazines , and even interactional flight room , much like other science fiction franchises in entertainment .
It ’s as yet unidentified how Byzantine actors Paul McGann , Christopher Eccleston , and David Tennant will be in the undertaking ; although both Tennant and McGann have worked with Big Finish , Eccleston was burned by his experience working onDoctor Who , and as a result he ’s unlikely to return . It ’s potential he ’ll once again be sound by Nicholas Briggs on any audiobooks .
The big disappointment , of course , is that the boldest experiment inDoctor Whohistory does n’t involve the TV series at all . It is potential , however , that there will be a connection ; the Timeless Child was the base genetic code for the full Time Lord wash , and pre - Hartnell incarnation of the Doctor were present throughout the history of Gallifrey . " Time Lord Victorious " is set during the Dark Times of Gallifrey , before the Time Lords retreated and depone to lay off step in in the affairs of other race . Hopefully , Doctor Whoshowrunner Chris Chibnall will allow some clue to the Doctor ’s secret history in this transmedia issue , which could then be explored inDoctor Whoseason 13 ( or later on ) .
