Uniquely to the version of the show in [[the Doctor's universe|a more serious universe]], where it was merely a work of [[fiction]] that bore a resemblance to their life, the Doctor and their world were simultaneously "fictional" while also physically existing, with the Doctor and their companions being seemingly aware of their placements as characters in the show. | A '''version of the television series ''[[Doctor Who (in-universe)|Doctor Who]]''''' existed in [[the Daft Dimension]].

Around the same time, the first ''Doctor Who'' comic strip appeared in ''[[Televisual Comic]]''. It strayed a little from the TV show in that it starred the [[First Doctor (The Daft Dimension)|First Doctor]], his grandchildren, his best pal [[Sid (The Secret History of Life Before Doctor Who Magazine!)Sid]], his neighbours [[Terry (The Secret History of Life Before Doctor Who Magazine!)|Terry]] and [[June (The Secret History of Life Before Doctor Who Magazine!)|June]], and [[The Doctor's TARDIS (The Daft Dimension)|TARDIS]] conductor [[Jack (The Secret History of Life Before Doctor Who Magazine!)|Jack]]. | After ''[[The Daleks (in-universe)|The Daleks]]'' was broadcast, the single Dalek that used his [[gunstick]] on [[Ian Chesterton (The Daft Dimension)|Ian Chesterton]] became famous for being "the first Dalek to use his weapon against a [[human]]", a distinction that he let go to his head with the advent of "[[Dalekmania (in-universe)|Dalekmania]]".

In [[1966]], ''Doctor Who'' fans clashed with ''[[Thunderbirds]]'' fans in a [[Brighton]] [[tea shop]] over their last [[scone]]. This was considered to be a grim year for the ''Who'' fandom. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Secret History of Life Before Doctor Who Magazine! (comic story)|The Secret History of Life Before Doctor Who Magazine!]]'') | |||
The aforementioned Dalek, who became famous for being the first to use his weapon against a human, had become more conceited as time went on. It got so bad that he was sacked from ''[[The Power of the Daleks (in-universe)|The Power of the Daleks]]'' for being a "prima-Dalek".

Two theatrical films starring [[Dr. Who (The Daft Dimension)|Dr. Who]] were produced in the 1960s. The writers wanted to simplify the concept of the show for movie audiences by humanising the Doctor. An earlier draft of the script wound up being too ambitious in this regard, by introducing an overabundance of the Doctor's family and friends, putting the movie over budget as a result. ([[COMIC]]: [[The Daft Dimension (DWM 578 comic story)|''The Daft Dimension'' 578]]) | |||

''to be | In [[1971]], a new ''Doctor Who'' comic strip starring the [[Third Doctor (The Daft Dimension)|Third Doctor]] began print in ''[[Countdoon]]'', setting a high quality for such strips, but the readership was not ready for it. ''Countdoon'' was eventually rebranded into ''[[TV reaction]]'', before it finally merged into ''Televisual Comic''. Due to budget cuts and other hard times, the ''Doctor Who'' strip was forced to publish reprints, consisting of old ''[[The Pink Panther]]'' strips with [[Tom Baker (The Daft Dimension)|Tom Baker]]'s head pasted onto that of the titular character. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Secret History of Life Before Doctor Who Magazine! (comic story)|The Secret History of Life Before Doctor Who Magazine!]]'') | ||
Also by 1971, the [[Third Doctor (The Daft Dimension)|Third Doctor]]'s likeness was appearing on boxes of [[Sugery Smackers]]. ([[COMIC]]: [[The Daft Dimension (DWM 558 comic story)|''The Daft Dimension'' 558]]) | |||

By [[1979]], the ''Televisual Comic'' strip was no longer being published. [[Marvel Comics Group (in-universe)|Marvel UK]] editor, [[Dez Skinn (The Origin of Doctor Who Magazine)|Dez Skinn]], noticed this, and concluded that this meant the license was up for grabs. After sleeping on the idea of Marvel creating a ''Doctor Who'' publication, Skinn awoke the next morning and created a dummy issue that he took straight to the [[BBC (in-universe)|BBC]]. After the pitch was approved, Skinn announced the creation of ''[[Doctor Who Magazine (The Daft Dimension)|Doctor Who Weekly]]'' at [[Comic Con '79]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Origin of Doctor Who Magazine (comic story)|The Origin of Doctor Who Magazine]]'') The [[Doctor Who Weekly Issue 1 (in-universe)|first issue]] was published shortly before the ink on [[Arnold Grimsbottom]]'s fanzine, which he first printed in 1963, had finally dried. He prepared to announce it as the first ongoing ''Doctor Who''-dedicated publication, only to realise the Marvel's new publication had just pipped him to the post. Arnold angrily insisted the magazine would "never last". ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Secret History of Life Before Doctor Who Magazine!

=== 1980s === | |||
The [[Dalek (The Daft Dimension)|Daleks]] were first depicted as being able to go up [[stairs]] in [[1988]]. Despite this fact, journalists still continued to make jokes about the Daleks' now-former inability for several years afterward. [[Journalists (The Daft Dimension 565)|Three journalists]] were imprisoned at the [[Judoon prison]] for this offence. They were considered to be the most deserving of their incarceration. ([[COMIC]]: [[The Daft Dimension (DWM 565 comic story)|''The Daft Dimension'' 565]]) | |||
=== 2000s === | |||
The [[Doctor Who Series 1 (in-universe)|new series]] of ''Doctor Who'' began on [[Saturday]], [[26 March]] [[2005]]. [[William Noddle]], a dedicated ''Who'' fan, had completely forgotten this fact and ended up missing the episode, turning on his television to find ''[[Casualty]]'' starting. ([[COMIC]]: [[The Daft Dimension (DWM 563 comic story)|''The Daft Dimension'' 563]]) The [[Rose (The Daft Dimension)|episode]] involved the [[Ninth Doctor (The Daft Dimension)|Ninth Doctor]] returning from the [[Last Great Time War]] and meeting [[Rose Tyler (The Daft Dimension)|Rose Tyler]]. ([[COMIC]]: [[The Daft Dimension (DWM 485 comic story)|''The Daft Dimension'' 485]]) | |||
=== 2010s and beyond === | |||
The [[Twelfth Doctor (The Daft Dimension)|Twelfth Doctor]] appeared in [[Deep Breath (in-universe)|an episode]] alongside the [[Half-Face Man]]. In a scene following the latter's death, the Doctor appeared to give an enigmatic look toward the viewer. [[Fan 1 (The Daft Dimension 484)|Three]] [[Fan 2 (The Daft Dimension 484)|fans]] [[Fan 3 (The Daft Dimension 484)|watching]] the episode at home speculated as to what the look meant, wondering if it was indicating that the Doctor pushed him to his death, among other possibilities. In actuality, the Doctor was merely trying to remember whether he cancelled his [[milk]] subscription before he left [[Gallifrey]].

[[File:Daft Dimension 490.jpg|thumb|left|Three [[Fans (The Daft Dimension 490)|''Doctor Who'' fans]] react in excitement at a [[Doctor Who Series 9 trailer (in-universe)|new trailer]]. ([[COMIC]]: [[The Daft Dimension (DWM 490 comic story)|''The Daft Dimension'' 490]])]] | |||
A [[Doctor Who Series 9 trailer (in-universe)|trailer]] for the [[Doctor Who Series 9 (in-universe)|ninth series]] was shown during live coverage of a [[football]] match. It depicted the Twelfth Doctor, wearing a new pair of [[trousers]], alongside [[Missy (The Daft Dimension)|Missy]], the [[Dalek]]s, [[Skaro]], and a [[Ashildr|a mystery girl]]. A [[Fan 1 (The Daft Dimension 490)|trio]] [[Fan 2 (The Daft Dimension 490)|of]] [[Fan 3 (The Daft Dimension 490)|fans]] where in a [[Pub (The Daft Dimension 490)|pub]] tutting over the rowdy behaviour of a group of [[Football fans (The Daft Dimension 490)|football fans]], only for them to become overly excited themselves when the trailer started. ([[COMIC]]: [[The Daft Dimension (DWM 490 comic story)|''The Daft Dimension'' 490]]) | |||
At some point after, there was speculation in the press that the next incarnation of the Doctor could be a [[woman]]. A group of [[Fans (The Daft Dimension 510)|fans]] discussed this at a weekly fan meet-up. ([[COMIC]]: [[The Daft Dimension (DWM 510 comic story)|''The Daft Dimension'' 510]]) | |||
Sure enough, the [[Thirteenth Doctor (The Daft Dimension)|Thirteenth Doctor]] was revealed in a [[Meet the Thirteenth Doctor (in-universe)|special trailer]] in which she was seen in [[forest (Meet the Thirteenth Doctor)|a forest]] walking back to her TARDIS. An extended version of this trailer revealed that she was doing so after having stolen some [[apple]]s from an [[orchard]], with the angry [[Orchard owner (The Daft Dimension 516)|orchard owner]] chasing after her. ([[COMIC]]: [[The Daft Dimension (DWM 516 comic story)|''The Daft Dimension'' 516]]) | |||
The Daleks were outraged at this revelation, which they branded as a "Time Lord [[feminist]] agenda". They responded by deploying their countermeasure: the [[Sexist Daleks]]. ([[COMIC]]: [[The Daft Dimension (DWM 517 comic story)|''The Daft Dimension'' 517]]) | |||
[[Doctor Who Series 11 (in-universe)|Series 11]] was set to not feature any "classic monsters". The [[Daleks (The Daft Dimension 531)|Daleks]], outraged at this announcement, decided to throw a party for themselves and other classic monsters in protest. ([[COMIC]]: [[The Daft Dimension (DWM 531 comic story)|''The Daft Dimension'' 531]]) | |||
Further events for the series were announced in subsequent years, such as [[Jodie Whittaker (in-universe)|Jodie Whittaker]]'s [[The Power of the Doctor (in-universe)|final episode]], the return of [[Tegan Jovanka (The Daft Dimension)|Tegan]] and [[Ace (The Daft Dimension)|Ace]], and stuff involving a "[[Fifteenth Doctor (The Daft Dimension)|new Doctor]]", an "[[Fourteenth Doctor (The Daft Dimension)|old Doctor]]", and [[Donna Noble (The Daft Dimension)|Donna Noble]]. ([[COMIC]]: [[The Daft Dimension (DWM 579 comic story)|''The Daft Dimension'' 579]]) | |||
''[[Doctor Who Magazine (The Daft Dimension)|Doctor Who Magazine]]'' reached its [[Doctor Who Magazine Issue 600 (in-universe)|600th issue]] some time after this. ([[COMIC]]: [[The Daft Dimension (DWM 600 comic story)|''The Daft Dimension'' 600]]) | |||
