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". Both of these productions also featured David Tennant. Jacqueline King later had a recurring role in the fourth series of the revived show as Sylvia Noble.
- Martin's scripts and dreams use plot elements from An Unearthly Child, The Daleks, Auld Mortality and the unmade The Masters of Luxor
gollark: Which is possibly true in a lot of cases because of general-purpose computing abilities being slowly eroded, and interesting online platforms lacking (good) APIs, but still.
gollark: An issue with the Raspberry Pi and stuff for computing education is that they separate "programmable computers" and "normal computers" and might make people think they can't do interesting stuff with what they already have.
gollark: I guess so.
