Fear Itself (TV story): Difference between revisions

* [[Alistair Gryffen]] refers to the [[Great Fire of London]] in [[September]] [[1666]]. Unbeknownst to him, it was caused by the overloading of a [[Terileptil]] weapon. The resulting explosion destroyed a bakery in [[Pudding Lane]], triggering the fire. The [[Fifth Doctor]] played a major role in these events. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Visitation (TV story)|The Visitation]]'') The Doctor had visited London during the Great Fire on two earlier occasions in his personal timeline. During the Doctor's [[First Doctor|first incarnation]], the TARDIS had materialised in London, specifically outside the burning house of [[George Mortimer]], shortly after the Great Fire began. The First Doctor proceeded to rescue George, his wife [[Helen Mortimer|Helen]] and their children [[Ida Mortimer|Ida]] and [[Alan Mortimer|Alan]] and took them on a trip to the [[Andromeda (galaxy)|Andromeda Galaxy]] in the [[far future]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Invasion from Space (novel)|Doctor Who and the Invasion from Space]]'') Arriving shortly before his future self's departure, the [[Fourth Doctor]], in the company of [[Sarah Jane Smith]], was wrongly accused of having starting the fire. It is possible that, for a brief period after the First Doctor's arrival in 1666, that there were three separate incarnations of the Doctor co-existing in the same time frame and in close proximity to one another. ([[TV]]: ''[[Pyramids of Mars (TV story)|Pyramids of Mars]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Republican's Story (short story)|The Republican's Story]]'') The Doctor's involvement in the fire remained a source of embarrassment for him in his [[Sixth Doctor|sixth incarnation]].
