An incarnation of the Doctor foiled the Master's schemes, and found a new companion, at an American amusement park.
Physical appearance[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Doctor had a bushy brown beard, unruly hair of the same colour, and small, dark eyes. He wore high boots, in which he tucked his yellow trousers in, and a slightly darker jacket veering towards orange, rimmed with red along the lapels. Underneath the jacket was a tartan shirt and a large ascot emblazoned with question marks. He also carried a cane. (NOTVALID: Winning Designs)
Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Doctor visited an amusement park in America, where he met and befriended Maggie, an eccentric woman who worked a fortune-telling booth in the park.
Together, they discovered that the engineer behind a new space ride that was being built was the Master, who had designed the machinery such that it would act as a teleporter to bring a large alien workforce to Earth that would then build a machine capable of destroying the Earth, but also, unbeknownst to them, their own planet.
Maggie subsequently became the Doctor's companion. (NOTVALID: Winning Designs)
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
The "Designs" Doctor was based on actor Brian Blessed, a casting suggested as the winning entry of the Doctor Who Casting Competition in DWM 108, submitted by Scott Sauber. His costume and story were designed by Wanda Sue Morain and Mike Acord as the winning entry of a follow-up contest, the Doctor Who Design Competition, with the text and professional-grade illustrations of Winning Designs being the ultimate result.
As Winning Designs does not constitute a story in its own right, it is not considered valid by this Wiki, and as such, neither is the existence of the "Designs" Doctor. However, a different incarnation of the Doctor that also resembled Brian Blessed was later introduced by Doctor Who Magazine in An Army of Shadows four years after Winning Designs.
