A version of the Doctor existed in the Daft Dimension, with a broadly similar history and regenerative cycle to their counterpart in a more serious universe.
This Doctor was somehow, simultaneously, a real individual, and a "fictional" character on the television series Doctor Who, a fact they were seemingly fully aware of.
