Maybe in the future we could get a song about The Brutes from Birkenhead?

I’m watching them for the 2nd time at Damnation Festival in Manchester and I can’t wait!!

So if we go with the idea that The Doctor had a previous life cycle then it adds to the mythos and backstory etc

Where it falls flat for me is the fact that this previously unknown life cycle just so happened to also be called The Doctor and they also had a Tardis that was stuck in the shape of police box

If the backstory was that they were known as someone else and then was forced to become The Doctor then that could have opened the door for loads of interesting stories.

It would mean that we’d not have The Fugitive Doctor (unless you make her a season 6b, but I digress) but I think that’s a price most fans would have accepted. [EDIT: just have her show up as The Fugitive with a different Tardis exterior]

He basically should have made “The Other” canon to The Doctors life. Such a wasted opportunity

Normally it’s the other way round right?
