In the real world, "the Wilderness Years" refers to the 16 year gap between the "classic series" and the "new series" of Doctor Who, where – except for the 1996 telefilm – no new episodes were recorded or broadcast between the final part of Survival in 1989 and the premiere of Rose in 2005.

In this interim period, many DWU stories and spin-offs were released across various mediums, including works by many up-and-coming creatives – such as Paul Cornell, Mark Gatiss, and Russell T Davies – who would eventually work on 21st century Doctor Who.
