Last of the Time Lords
As the original "Doctor Who" series was nearing its end and continuing during the first interregnum (1989–1996), numerous attempts were made to adapt the series for the big screen for the first time since the Peter Cushing films of the 1960s. Jean-Marc Lofficier, in his book "The Nth Doctor", profiles a number of film proposals, some of which came close to being produced. Ultimately, however, the only film version of "Doctor Who" (other than the two Cushing films) produced to date has been the 1996 made-for-TV film which was developed as a continuation of the TV series rather than a reboot or reimagining of the concept. At one point, the film had the full working title, Doctor Who: The Last of the Time Lords. Among the script proposals profiled by Lofficier are several submissions by "Doctor Who" and "" alumnus Johnny Byrne, plus others by Robert DeLaurentis, Adrian Rigelsford, John Leekley, Mark Ezra and Denny Martin Flinn. The title "Last of the Time Lords" would later be used by Russell T Davies for an episode in 2007.
