The Five Doctors (TV story)

***The Five Doctors*** was the 30th anniversary special of *Doctor Who*, first aired in 1983. It featured appearances by the first five televised Doctors (although the Fourth Doctor's involvement was limited to archive footage and the First Doctor was played by Richard Hurndall rather than the late William Hartnell).

*Turn Left* was the subject of the first *Classic Doctor Who Lockdown* Tweetalong organised by Ellie Collins. It was not, at the time, yet known as *Classic Doctor Who Lockdown*, to better distinguish it from Emily Cook's BBC-Wales-era-focused *Doctor Who: Lockdown!* — although there was cross-promotion between Cook and Collins.

## Tie-in content

Although the tweetalong was not officially endorsed by the BBC, two minisodes were created. One, WC: *The Castellan Has Returned and Brought a Message from Gallifrey*, acted as a prologue to the tweetalong, with Paul Jerricho returning to the part of the Castellan. Another, WC: *Rediscovered Convention Audio*, released after the tweetalong, starred Jon Culshaw impersonating several behind-the-scenes figures.

Jamie H. Cowan, who would later pen PROSE: *Time After Time* for *The Lockdown Fan Gallery*, also contributed the prose story PROSE: *What Benton Did*, to compliments from Collins.

Time Beetle

The **Time Beetle** was a member of the Trickster's Brigade. By physically latching onto a victim, the Beetle wa able to rewrite their timeline, feeding on the energy this process generated. (TV: *Turn Left*)

## Biography

The Time Beetle was sent to Shan Shen through a mirror inside a silver puzzle-box by its master, the Trickster. The Trickster told the fortune teller to care for the Beetle, in exchange of which the Trickster would ensure she would see prosperity once again. At the time, the Beetle was quite small, smaller than one of its new keeper's hands. (COMIC: *Turn Left Prequel Comic*)

Some time later, the Beetle had evidently grown thanks to the people who had been fed to it, now being about as large as a backpack. (TV: *Turn Left*) Auteur, hiding out on Shan Shen, recognised the Beetle as an agent of "the Brigade" and told the fortune teller to feed a redhead called Donna to her master. (PROSE: *A Better World*) The Beetle crept onto Donna's back as her fortune was being read and rewrote a crucial choice in her life: her decision to “turn left” and go work for H.C. Clements, which led directly to her first meeting the Doctor.

However, because Donna was so central to history, the process created a “great big parallel world” instead of merely rewriting a small paragraph of the universe. Donna was able to reverse the change from within that new world, and woke up back on Shan Shen. Cut off from its energy source in the middle of feeding, the Time Beetle was blasted back, writhed on the ground in pain, and expired. Its remains were later examined by the Doctor who recognised it as a member of the Brigade. (TV: *Turn Left*)

Thirteenth Doctor

The **Thirteenth Doctor** was the incarnation of the Doctor who travelled with Graham O'Brien, Ryan Sinclair and Yasmin Khan.

## Biography

Immediately after regenerating from her predeccesor, the Doctor was expelled from the TARDIS as it was exploding and started falling towards the ground below. She found out she was in Yorkshire by tasting the air and then began to devise a landing strategy. She hypothesised that if she landed on the roof of an approaching train, it would soften the fall enough for the still fizzling regeneration process to heal her injuries. As the roof came closer, she saw the lights on the train go out and determined something was wrong. Immediately after crashing into the roof and into a carriage, she jumped up, zapped a creature she couldn't quite understand and made new friends, (PROSE: *Things She Thought While Falling*) Graham O'Brien, Ryan Sinclair and Yasmin Khan. (TV: *The Woman Who Fell to Earth*) They eventually became her companions after they recovered the TARDIS on Desolation. (TV: *The Ghost Monument*)

At some point, the Doctor found herself "self-isolating", or hiding, in a wardrobe from an army of Sontarans. During this time the TARDIS detected an upsurge in psychological signals and sent out an emergency transmission. The Doctor gave the reciever of the transmission five pieces advice on what to do in a worrying situation. (WC: *Message from the Doctor*)

As she returns inside her shop, in tears, she sees a dark apparition in her mirror: the Trickster, who tells her that he “can change everything”.

He tells her that “prosperity will be [hers] once more” if she accepts his gift. Reaching through the mirror, the Trickster, so saying, hands her a silver puzzle-block. When she opens it, it turns out to contain the Time Beetle. Although visibly frightened, she accept the gift. The Trickster tells her to now do as he says.

## Characters

* Fortune teller
* The Trickster
* The Time Beetle

## Story notes

Adipose Nursery Ship

Adipose Nursery Ship.png

## Memorable moment

The **Adipose Nursery Ship** (GAME: *Where's the Doctor?*) was the nursery ship utilised by the Adiposian First Family to transfer the newborn Adipose born on Earth in 2009 (TV: *Partners in Crime*) to the snowy planet which the Adipose made their home. It was identified by one Adipose as a **saucer**. (PROSE: *The Complete Story of My Life (So Far)*)

## History

The Adipose nursery ship arrived on Earth in 2009 during the March of the Adipose, the conclusion of an illegal Adipose breeding program overseen by Miss Foster. (TV: *Partners in Crime*) The saucer emitted a high-pitched whine that the Adipose knew to follow, and they congregated underneath the ship in the dark streets, before being lifted up into the saucer by "blue ray[s] of sunlight". One Adipose, Mrs Stay Puft, waved at (PROSE: *The Complete Story of My Life (So Far)*) the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble, who were standing atop a building. The nursery disposed of Miss Foster by letting her fall from the beams of light, and it left Earth. (TV: *Partners in Crime*)

During the long voyage to the Adiposes' new home, the newborns played on fun slides, ball pits, (PROSE: *The Complete Story of My Life (So Far)*) competed in races, slept, partied, ate, and watched television. The Eleventh Doctor, Amy Pond, and Rory Williams were present for the journey. (GAME: *Where's the Doctor?*) After helping Jenny, she returned Kevin to the nursery ship. (PROSE: *Kevin and Jenny Take On The Universe(s)*)

The younglings were looked after by bigger and more mature Adipose. After the ship arrived at the snowy planet and the Adipose newborns met their family, King Adipose the 42nd welcomed them warmly. (PROSE: *The Complete Story of My Life (So Far)*)

Vincent van Gogh

**Vincent van Gogh** was a posthumously-revered 19th century Dutch painter who long resided in France.

## Biography

While living in France, Van Gogh was befriended by the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond during their travels, although the "good things" they added to his life (notably giving him a glimpse of his future fame, complete with a vibrant homage from Doctor Black) were not enough to stave off his eventual suicide, Van Gogh having struggled with mental illness all his life. (TV: *Vincent and the Doctor*, WC: *Vincent and the Doctor's Gallery*)

At some point before his death, Van Gogh had also been visited by another time traveller, Alice's Dad, who had borrowed his daughter's TARDIS. The 21st century Englishman planned to bring back a freshly-painted Van Gogh to the present as a get-rich-quick scheme, and, just on the off-chance, had gotten Vincent to write “THIS IS NOT A FAKE” on the back of the canvas to further authenticate it. However, Alice herself wasn't having it, and ordered that he bring the painting back where he'd found it. (WC: *A Little Souvenir*)

Mrs Stay Puft

**Mrs Stay Puft** was an Adipose who was friends with Michelin Man (PROSE: *The Complete Story of My Life (So Far)*) and who waved to the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble as they watched the Adipose get transported into the nursery ship. (TV: *Partners in Crime*)

## Biography

Mrs Stay Puft was named by her human. She met Michelin Man when he collided with her after he launched himself off a post box to get into one of the beams of blue light that transported the Adipose into the nursery ship above London. They introduced themselves, and while Michelin Man reminisced about his short life, Mrs Stay Puft (PROSE: *The Complete Story of My Life (So Far)*) waved to the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble, who were standing atop a building. Donna remarked she was "waving at fat" as (TV: *Partners in Crime*) Mrs Stay Puft ascended.

In the saucer, the duo was greeted by a humongous Adipose, who informed them that they were on a flight to their home. Inside the saucer, she and Michelin Man spent hours playing on fun slides and ball pits. The voyage ended when the saucer arrived at a snowy planet, and outside, their new family hugged them as best they could, despite their arms sticking out to their sides. The family turned to face King Adipose the 42nd, who welcomed the children of the Adiposian First Family home. (PROSE: *The Complete Story of My Life (So Far)*)

## Behind the scenes

* Mrs Stay Puft was named in reference to Stay Puft, an antagonist from the 1984 theatrical film *Ghostbusters*.

Kevin (Kevin and Jenny Take On The Universe(s))

## Kevin

**Kevin** was an Adipose (PROSE: *Kevin and Jenny Take On The Universe(s)*) who was among the ten thousand created by Miss Foster in London 2005. (TV: *Partners in Crime*) He was part of the First Adiposian Family, and after the "invasion" begun, he strayed from his family and went to space and met Jenny. (PROSE: *Kevin and Jenny Take On The Universe(s)*)

## Biography

During the March of the Adipose in 2009, (TV: *Partners in Crime*) Kevin was in Ealing before he strayed from his Adipose kin to steal a spaceship from an underground Torchwood base. In space, he met Jenny when her spaceship nearly crashed into his. After a mutual introduction and an explanation from Jenny that she was trying to stop the universe from collapsing, Kevin felt that it was his duty to help; they travelled to a tear in the universe that led into the Void, to find a human was trying to come through, however Jenny believed that this could destroy the universe, or rather *all* the universes. With Kevin's reluctant help, as he thought that they should try to save the person, they created a complicated space-time event, which Jenny had already set up as they had't travelled through space to the tear but through time, which incidentally was where she and Kevin first met.

This closed the tear, and Kevin fell unconscious. He awoke in the Adipose nursery ship, initially thinking that his adventure may have only been a dream, but this thought was pushed out of his head when he found a note from Jenny in his hand that told him that she'd like to meet him again someday. Over time, as Kevin grew up, he longed to go back out into the stars. (PROSE: *Kevin and Jenny Take On The Universe(s)*)

## Personality

Kevin instictively wanted to help people as much as he could and he loved being in space, admiring the beauty and size of it. (PROSE: *Kevin and Jenny Take On The Universe(s)*)

TARDIS

Also known as **Timeships** (PROSE: *A Better World*) or as **Time Machines**, (PROSE: *House and Home*) the **TARDISes** — a name standing for **Time And Relative Dimension In Space** — were sentient, bigger-on-the-inside space-time vessels primarily steered by the Time Lords. (WC: *House Call*, TV: *The Doctor's Wife* et alt.)

## History

Although some accounts suggested TARDISes had been invented either by Dr Who (TV: *Dr. Who and the Daleks*, PROSE: *The Equations of Dr Who*) or by early Time Lords under the leadership of Rassilon, (COMIC: *The Lost Dimension*) at least one account suggested that beings that would one day become TARDISes, including the one who would become the Doctor's TARDIS, existed in “the Old Days", when "Time was a sea". At the time, their coral was “allowed to grow freely”. (PROSE: *House and Home*)

## Known TARDISes

The best-known TARDIS, and by some accounts the only one, was the Doctor's TARDIS, (PROSE: *Things She Thought While Falling*, *Doctor Who and the Time War*, etc.) who, on the one occasion she was asked, self-identified as "Sexy" (originally a pet name used by the Doctor when talking to his inanimate ship when alone at the control room). (TV: *The Doctor's Wife*) She had the exterior form of a 1960s police box and changed interior design on several occasions. (PROSE: *Things She Thought While Falling*, *Doctor Who and the Time War*, etc.)

Theirs was not, however, the only TARDIS to customarily take the shape of a telephone box. The TARDIS used by Alice also took on the appearance of a police box when flying through the Time Vortex, although it also had a proclivity for appearing merely as an extra door on a wall, eliding the three-dimensional nature of the box, when materialising inside a building. At any rate, this TARDIS had a completely different control room compared to the Doctor's, with no central console, the controls instead being worked into a wooden desk which linked directly to one of the walls. (WC: *The Girl Who Waited… and the Boy Who Couldn't*, *House Call*, etc.)

Hemnus

**Hemnus** was a legendary demon created by the Outsider to punish the beings who had "ruined the universe's chances of being a Template:TTparadise", such as the Great Vampires and the Kotturuh.

Because most of these races had already been destroyed by wars or by the Kotturuh, Hemnus instead raged unchecked across the universe, until the Time Lords managed to trap him on a tomb on a distant planet, Valderaaz. River Song and Bernice Summerfield later uncovered this tomb, and, realising what they'd found, resolved to call the Doctor for help. (PROSE:: *Expectations*)
Nardole's Very Bad Day (short story)

***Nardole's Very Bad Day*** was a short story written by E. J. Robinson. It was the first of the ten prose stories submitted by fans to the *Doctor Who: Lockdown!* as part of the 2020 *The Husbands of River Song* tweetalong to receive an official release on the *Lockdown!* website.

Subtitled "A prologue to *The Husbands of River Song*", the story followed Nardole's day leading up to the Christmas Eve which sees him knock at the doors of the Doctor's TARDIS for the first time in the pre-credits sequence of the TV episode.

The Day of the Doctor (TV story)

## Trailer(s)

***The Day of the Doctor*** was the fiftieth anniversary special of *Doctor Who*. It starred Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor and John Hurt as the War Doctor.

*The Day of the Doctor* was the subject of the first *Who at Home* Tweetalong organised by Emily Cook, as *Doctor Who: Lockdown!* was then known. Writer Steven Moffat acted as a guest. The chosen date for the tweetalong, the 3rd of April, 2020, was the tenth anniversary of the original broadcast of the story. ***The Night of the Doctor***, a special prologue to *Day*, was also viewed by Cook and others in the ten minutes leading up to the main Tweetalong at 7 PM.

## Tie-in content

The only official tie-in content was the webcast *Strax Saves the Day* written by Steven Moffat. A "new introduction" to *The Day of the Doctor*, the story starred Dan Starkey as Strax preparing to assemble a crowd in order to watch an in-universe version of the episode. The original cinema introductions to *Day* had also featured Strax in part. BBC continuity announcer Duncan Newmarch also recorded and released a special introduction for the rewatch.

Although technically released in conjunction with the Tweetalong of *Rose*, the short story *Doctor Who and the Time War* shared strong connections both narratively and behind-the-scenes with *The Day of the Doctor*. The story depicted the Eighth Doctor ending the Last Great Time War and regenerating into the Ninth Doctor but it had to be shelved as Moffat introduced John Hurt's War Doctor as the successor to the Eighth and the main combatant of the War. It was not until *The Timeless Children* revealed "all stories are true" that it was finally published seven years later.

## Unnamed woman

A **woman** once posed as a thirty-year-older Alice on behalf of the real Alice, to trick Alice's Dad into thinking he'd overshot when trying to use Alice's TARDIS to skip having to wait a few hours for the new *Doctor Who* episode's airing time. Wearing Alice's hat, she sternly ordered him to go "back" to 2020 and learn some patience. After sharing a laugh with the real Alice, however, the woman began needling Alice about how soon *Doctor Who* would air in the exact same way as Alive's Dad had done to start with.

Vincent and the Doctor's Gallery (webcast)

## Full video

***Vincent and the Doctor's Gallery*** was the *Lockdown!* webcast made to tie in with the *Doctor Who: Lockdown!* tweetalong of TV: *Vincent and the Doctor*.

Though bookended by clips from the TV story that gave it a kind of whimsical framing, it did not have any kind of narrative coherence as such, serving simply as an artistic experience: a gallery of fan-submitted artwork inspired by the episode was set to Murray Gold's soundtrack from the episode, and accompanied by a handful of inspirational quotes from various episodes of *Doctor Who*.

## Publisher's summary

A compilation of Vincent van Gogh-inspired Doctor Who fan artwork along with inspirational quotes from the series which have helped fans through tough times.

The video was released as part of #TheUltimateGinger global simulcast watch-along of the Doctor Who episode 'Vincent and the Doctor', which took place on Monday 30 March 2020 (Vincent van Gogh's birthday).

It was home-produced remotely during the 'lockdown' period of the COVID-19 outbreak in March 2020.

Snowy planet (The Complete Story of My Life (So Far))

During the Adipose breeding scheme overseen by Miss Foster in 2009, (TV: *Partners in Crime*) the Adiposian First Family called a **snowy planet** home.

After the long voyage following the March of the Adipose, the Adipose nursery ship returned to the snowy planet with the newborns, and King Adipose the 42nd welcomed them. (PROSE: *The Complete Story of My Life (So Far)*)
Last Great Time War

According to most accounts, the **Last Great Time War** was a war between the Time Lords and the Daleks that resulted in the near-destruction of both races.

The Battle of Rodan's Wedding was a conflict in the war during which years were used as ammunition. The Doctor was aged to five million and then back to a baby. By the end of the War, Earth had been duplicated a million times to be fired into the skull of the Nightmare Child and the towers of Morbius' Red Capitol had been fused with the spires of Yarvelling's Church.

According to one account, the Eighth Doctor eventually turned to the Moment, his mind made up to use it to wipe out the Time Lords and Daleks to put an end to the War. As Gallifrey was destroyed around him, the Doctor fell through space and into the open doors of his TARDIS, breaking his bones in the impact.

He believed that using the Moment had made his existence fixed, preventing him from regenerating, only for regeneration energy to begin engulfing him; he belatedly realised that a woman who had died saving him had passed on the Restoration to him, resetting his life-cycle. Shocked and exhilarated, the Eighth Doctor regenerated into the Ninth Doctor. (PROSE: *Doctor Who and the Time War*)

Other accounts indicated the incarnation who fought for the majority of the conflict was the War Doctor and that he ultimately chose not to use the Moment, instead sealing Gallifrey away into a pocket universe. (TV: *The Day of the Doctor*)

The Doctor's TARDIS

**The Doctor's TARDIS** was the TARDIS used by the Time Lord known as the Doctor to travel through space and time.

She watched it dematerialise as she plummeted to the ground. (PROSE: *Things She Thought While Falling*) She later found it on Desolation, having repaired and redecorated itself. (TV: *The Ghost Monument*)

Whilst the Doctor "self-isolated" from an army of Sontarans, the TARDIS detected an upsurge in psychological signals and sent out an emergency transmission. The Doctor recorded a message for the transmission, giving the reciever of the five pieces advice on what to do in a worrying situation. (WC: *Message from the Doctor*)

The Eleventh Doctor was known to Amy Pond as “the Raggedy Doctor”, having crashed into her backyard shortly after his regeneration from the Tenth. She idolised him growing up (WC: *The Raggedy Doctor by Amelia Pond*) and later became his companion. (WC: *Vincent and the Doctor's Gallery*)

### Twelfth Doctor

Main article: Twelfth Doctor
The Twelfth Doctor regenerated in the TARDIS. The damage sustained to the ship caused his successor to fall out and into the skies of Yorkshire as she watched it dematerialise. (PROSE: *Things She Thought While Falling*)

### Thirteenth Doctor

Main article: Thirteenth Doctor
After the TARDIS dematerialised, the Doctor determined that she could soften her landing enough for the regenerative process to take of her injuries if she landed on the roof of an approaching train. As the roof came closer, she saw its lights go out and deduced something was wrong. Immediately after crashing into one of the carriages, the Doctor jumped up, zapped a creature she couldn't understand and made new friends. (PROSE: *Things She Thought While Falling*) These friends, Graham O'Brien, Ryan Sinclair and Yasmin Khan, later became her companions. (TV: *The Woman Who Fell to Earth*)

### "Unknown"

The Girl Who Waited… and the Boy Who Couldn't (webcast)

## Full video

***The Girl Who Waited… and the Boy Who Couldn't*** was the second episode of the fanmade *TARDISshorts* series. Made to tie in with the *Doctor Who: Lockdown!* tweetalong of TV: *The Eleventh Hour*, it vaguely spoofed its concept, but had no direct narrative connection to its events.

## Publisher's summary

A little bit of lockdown/boredom inspired TARDIS fun ahead of the *Eleventh Hour* *Doctor Who* watchalong on 3/4/2020

## Plot

Alice and her Dad are waiting on the couch for *Doctor Who* — which won't be for several hours yet, as it's currently a little past 3 p.m. and it's set to air at 7. Whereas Alice is reading patiently to pass the time, her father can't wait, and sneaks away to the TARDIS.

With some difficulty, and avoiding the judgmental glance of the cap-wearing life-sized Iron Man figure adorning the console room, he manages to fly the ship into the Time Vortex. When he exits at what he hopes is 7 p.m. on the same day, he finds a fully-grown woman sitting on the couch. She tells him that she is an adult Alice, with his having overshot the coordinates and ended up thirty years in his personal future.

After he runs off back to the TARDIS to go back to 2020 and fix his error, the real Alice emerges from behind the couch and thanks the woman for helping her with the joke. After they share a laugh at Alice's Dad's gullibility, they start waiting for *Doctor Who* together — and when the woman displays the same impatience as Alice's Dad's, Alice walks off in a huff.

## References

* Alice and the unnamed woman share dialogue which implies they both know that the so-called TARDIS cannot actually travel through Time and Alice's Dad is being very naive for thinking so.

## Cast

* Alice's Dad — Phillip Barron
* Alice – Alice Barron
* Woman – Uncredited

## Story notes

* Originally released on Phillip Barron's personal YouTube channel on 2 April 2020, this episode was only later uploaded to the later dedicated *TARDISshorts* channel.
* With this being such an early episode of *TARDISshorts*, one element is still evident that would be left behind as the series progressed: a lingering ambiguity about whether the TARDIS was actually real.

## Continuity

* *Doctor Who* airs at 7 p.m. (WC: *A Little Souvenir*)

A Little Souvenir (webcast)

## Full video

***A Little Souvenir*** was a short webcast made to tie in with the *Doctor Who: Lockdown!* tweetalong of TV: *Vincent and the Doctor*. It was the launch of the fanmade *TARDISshorts* series.

## Publisher's summary

Made to celebrate the DoctorWhoLockdown tweetalong of *Vincent and the Doctor* on the 30th March 2020.

## Plot

A sulking Alice watches her TARDIS rematerialise on the wall. When her dad guiltily walks out of it with what appears to be an original Van Gogh, she demands to know if he has been to 19th century France to steal a painting from Van Gogh long before his works were highly-prized and closely guarded.

In an unconvincing lie, he answers that the picture he's holding is a fake. However, Alice turns it around to reveal a felt marker note signed "Vincent" and which notes that "THIS IS NOT A FAKE". She orders him to go put it back where he found it, and also tells him to be sure to be back by 7 — “*Doctor Who*’s on”.

Tom Spilsbury

**Tom Spilsbury** was the editor of *Doctor Who Magazine* in 2013.

He was responsible for originally commissioning Russell T Davies to write *Doctor Who and the Time War* for the fiftieth anniversary of the programme. After talking to Steven Moffat, he was told its publication could not go ahead because *The Day of the Doctor* ultimately revealed John Hurt's War Doctor as the Eighth Doctor's true successor. *Doctor Who and the Time War* was finally published seven years later as part of *Doctor Who: Lockdown!* with the Eighth's regeneration into the Ninth in tact after *The Timeless Children* proved "all stories are true".

Rose Tyler

**Rose Tyler**, also known as **Bad-Wolf Girl** (PROSE *A Better World*) and **Calypso**, (PROSE *The Jack Who Stole Christmas*) was a companion of the Doctor.

Jenny and Kevin stopped Rose Tyler coming through a tear from the Void by creating a complicated space-time event, as Jenny believed that Rose could destroy all universes. Kevin could feel that Rose had lost someone, and felt her pain. However, the complicated space-time event didn't close the tear, just relocated it, and Rose Tyler came through, searching for the Doctor to warn him of the end of the universes. (PROSE: *Kevin and Jenny Take On The Universe(s)*)
The Search for the Surgeon (short story)

***The Search for the Surgeon*** was a short story written by Andrew Hsieh. It was the second of the ten prose stories submitted by fans to the *Doctor Who: Lockdown!* as part of the 2020 *The Husbands of River Song* tweetalong to receive a release on the *Lockdown!* website.

Subtitled "A prequel to *The Husbands of River Song*", the story depicted Nardole's search for the surgeon whom he ends up confusing the Twelfth Doctor for.

## Plot

Looking for the capsule of the greatest surgeon in the galaxy on behalf of Doctor Song, Nardole stops to buy a mince pie and, while he's at it, asks the vendor for information. The vendor tells him that he *has* seen a small blue capsule once or twice of late, and points him towards the Doctor's TARDIS. A middle-aged man answers the door, asking if he's "got anything on his head".

## Characters

* Nardole
* Vendor
* Twelfth Doctor

## References

* The vendor briefly confuses the word "surgeon" with "sinjin", which he says is a common mispronunciation of the name "Saint John".

## Story notes

* This prequel to *The Husbands of River Song* is intended to take place immediately prior to, and during, the pre-credits sequence of the episode.

Heather McCrimmon

**Heather McCrimmon** was a companion of the Tenth Doctor (COMIC: *The Chromosome Connection*, et al.) whose travels in the TARDIS ended when she lost her natural defences against vortex radiation. (COMIC: *Dead-line*) She was later taught by the Twelfth Doctor at St. Luke's University before being absorbed by a liquid timeship. (TV: *The Pilot*, PROSE: *A Star In Her Eye*)

## Biography

Together with the Doctor, Heather visited a human colony in space which relied entirely on the automated assistance of artificial life, (COMIC: *Glum Culture*) dived below the Thames on a sunken Earth (COMIC: *The Aquarius Condition*) and faced off against creatures that fed on solar energy. (COMIC: *City of Light*)

Upon being blasted by the Mighty Mozhtratta's ReCohesion Cannon, Heather was momentarily split into a thousand temporal echoes and was left without natural defences against vortex radiation meaning that a single trip in the TARDIS would tear her apart. (COMIC: *Dead-line*) On occasion Heather would still meet up with the Doctor and Wolfgang Ryter. (COMIC: *Lucky Heather*)

Heather pursued a career in archaeology, (COMIC: *Lucky Heather*) before studying at St Luke's University where she was taught by the Twelfth Doctor. (TV: *The Pilot*)

One day Heather encountered a timeship - following it to a nearby construction site she discovered the ship's avatars who revealed that they were seeking a new pilot. When the avatars refused to accept her as their pilot, Heather assumed that it was because she was unable to travel in the time vortex and planned to find them another pilot. (PROSE: *A Star In Her Eye*)

Shortly after Bill Potts introduced herself to Heather (TV: *The Pilot*) suspecting that she would be a suitable pilot, Heather showed her the puddle of oil that the timeship had left behind. However, she had a change of heart and abandoned Bill. Sometime later she returned to the puddle and poured her heart out, (PROSE: *A Star In Her Eye*) the puddle accepted her as a suitable pilot and absorbed her. (TV: *The Pilot*, PROSE: *A Star In Her Eye*)
A Better World (short story)

***A Better World*** was a short story written by Aristide Twain. It was the twentieth short story submitted by fans for the *Doctor Who: Lockdown!* series, for the Tweetalong of *Turn Left*. The main antagonist of the story, Auteur, was used under licence from Jayce Black.

## Plot

In a crowded street in Shan Shen, Auteur notices Donna, and her significance to time. In a fit of hubris, Auteur decides to create a new timeline through Donna. He senses a power in the street, a Beetle, and Auteur tells its puppet, a fortune teller, to feed Donna to the Beetle. The plan is successful.

Auteur follows Donna to the new timeline, where he witnesses a Christmas Star firing upon the Earth. He knows the Renegade is dead, and, disguised as an ordinary human, shares a drink with a time-sensitive woman named Alice.

Auteur decides that he wants to tell Donna what he's done, to tell her she's the star of her story, but he's unable to reach her. Another time-sensitive woman stands in his way. One time, quite literally.

He's unable to do much, but he manages to sabotage an abandoned timeship, to seal the fate of the Renegade. Donna is sent back in time by a group of humans, and Auteur is left asking himself a question. Could she sacrifice herself for the Renegade?

## Characters

* Auteur
* Donna
* Fortune teller
* Beetle
* Alice
* Wolf-girl
* Timeship

## References

* The Beetle is part of the Brigade.
* Auteur recalls the War and the fall of the Shining World.
* Auteur refers to second time-sensitive woman as the "Wolf-girl".

## Notes

* After the appearance of Bernice Summerfield in a previous *Lockdown* story, Twain felt "emboldened", and gained a commercial license to use Auteur from Jayce Black. Twain also made sure that other characters were more ambiguously named.
* Shan Shen being "a land of opportunity for an initiate of the ways of Paradox" references the Monk's opinion of the planet in the audio story *The Blame Game*.

Time Lord

The **Time Lords** were the inhabitants of the planet Gallifrey and one faction involved in the Last Great Time War.

## History

The Doctor and the Master were both Time Lords. (TV: *The Deadly Assassin* et al.)

### The Time War

The Time Lords fought the Last Great Time War against the Daleks. Years were used as ammunition which resulted in individuals such as the Doctor being aged to five million and then back to a baby in the Battle of Rodan's Wedding.

Eventually, according to one account, the Eighth Doctor turned to the Moment, his mind made up to use it to wipe out both the Time Lords and Daleks to put an end to the War. As Gallifrey was destroyed around him, the Doctor fell through space and into the open doors of his TARDIS, breaking his bones in the impact.

He believed that using the Moment had made his existence fixed, preventing him from regenerating, only for regeneration energy to begin engulfing him; he belatedly realised that a woman who had died saving him had passed on the Restoration to him, resetting his life-cycle. Shocked and exhilarated, the Eighth Doctor regenerated into the Ninth Doctor, (PROSE: *Doctor Who and the Time War*) becoming the last of his race (TV: *The End of the World*) to the best of his knowledge. (TV: *Utopia*)

Half-Head Pierrot

The **Half-Head Pierrot** was an Auton fashioned in the shape of a pierrot, a type of clown, by the Nestene Consciousness.

## Biography

Originally, it was one of several sentries which were posted along the Embankment at Westminster, where they posed as living statues days in advance of the 5 March 2005 Nestene invasion of Earth. On the night of the invasion, the Nestene Consciousness was gravely wounded when it was stuck by a vial of anti-plastic during a confrontation with the Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler. As a result, all the plastic guards dissolved with the exception of the pierrot, who was left deformed while serving as a host for the single surviving "nugget" of the Consciousness.

Observing its surroundings, the silver clown was pleased to see Central London in ruins. Reeling from its defeat at the hands of the Doctor, the clown considered a plan of revenge against the Time Lords but was interrupted by the pain as the Nestene was dying. Knowing that it contained the energy for one last reconfiguration, the clown crossed the bridge, pushing over a woman who spotted it. As it swatted aside screaming humans, the clown thought back to the destruction of Nestenia during the Last Great Time War before entering the Houses of Parliament, where it found a human body. On the brink of dissolving completely, the clown merged with the human to form a new, stable Auton, successfully preserving the Nestene Consciousness. (PROSE: *Revenge of the Nestene*)

## Appearance

Posing as a living statue, the pierrot wore a glittering silver bodysuit. Following the near-death of the Nestene Consciousness, the pierrot was left with half a face and half a head with only one eye. (PROSE: *Revenge of the Nestene*)

Dalek

The **Daleks** were a warrior race made up of genetically-engineered mutants.

By most accounts, they were the faction that opposed the Time Lords in the Last Great Time War. According to one account, the Eighth Doctor eventually turned to the Moment to destroy both the Daleks and the Time Lords in order to end the War. The Time Lord's homeworld of Gallifrey was destroyed as was most of both races. The Doctor survived in a new incarnation (PROSE: *Doctor Who and the Time War*) as did several groups of Daleks. (TV: *Dalek*, *Bad Wolf* et al.)
