A number of unauthorized versions of Doctor Who and of the Doctor have appeared.
Partial list
Video
- Bill Baggs Video introduced Colin Baker as "the Stranger", originally a loose pastiche of the Doctor, who developed into a more original character.
Audio
- BBV audio introduced Sylvester McCoy as "the Professor", later (for legal reasons), "the Dominie", with Nicola Bryant as "Ace", later Alice. The audios featured scripts by, among others, Robert Shearman (under s pseudonym), Mark Gatiss and Nigel Fairs.
- The Wanderer or Fred, played by Nicholas Briggs in the BBV audio adventures Cyber-Hunt and Vital Signs is loosely based on the Doctor as portrayed by Briggs in the Audio Visuals fan audio series. In Cyber-Hunt, he comes up against "Cyberons".
Comics
- The Marvel Universe had Professor Gamble and his enemies the Incinerators who inspired the fictional. Later Marvel and Marvel UK stories introduced WHO, or the Weird Happenings Organization, led by Doctor Alistaire Stuart along with his sister, Brigadier Alysande Stuart. (They are obviously named after Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart.) This was originally the creation of Marvel writer and Anglophile, Chris Claremont, who, during the course of his career, incorporated several brief references to Doctor Who into his scripts.
- The Wildstorm title Albion, scripted by Leah Moore and plotted by her father, Alan Moore, featured a Cyberman and also an Ice Warrior. It is unclear whether the Cyberman was meant to be 'real' or a costume. (The scene was set in an SF-themed bar, but the 'real' Robot Archie is also on display.) Like The Establishment, Albion was deeply rooted in English popular culture.
- Grant Morrison's The Invisibles featured surgically altered drone henchmen known as the Cyphermen.
Other information
The Doctor Who Universe itself has a pastiche version of Doctor Who, called Professor X. Bernice Summerfield briefly visited that fictional universe and met Professor X during No Future.
