Plot
What if... Doctor Who did not materialise as a television series?
Martin Bannister was once a promising young writer, but somewhere along the line everything went wrong. As he looks back at the ruin of his life, he wonders whether it all started with that children's science fiction programme that never got produced. Whatever became of Doctor Who?

Notes
- Sir Derek Jacobi later played two different incarnations of the Master, once in the internet animation Scream of the Shalka, and later on television in "Utopia".

- Martin's scripts and dreams use plot elements from An Unearthly Child, The Daleks, Auld Mortality and the unmade The Masters of Luxor
