Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
The story in which he appears implies that C.S. Lewis rewrote his tale about a bookshop into the Narnia books The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and The Magician's Nephew.
C.S. Lewis wrote the Narnia books for children. He also wrote a "space fiction" trilogy, which, like early Doctor Who involved ordinary people visiting alien planets. Many commenters have compared the TARDIS to the magical wardrobe in Lewis' The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the first-written of the Narnia books. The Doctor Who story The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe borrows the form of its title, some visual imagery and plot elements from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
Lewis died on the same day as the assassination of John F. Kennedy, 22 November 1963, which was also coincidentally the day before the very first broadcast of Doctor Who.
Matteusz Andrzejewski refers to the author that created books about the land of Narnia and the character Susan in the Class episode Detained, but does not identify him as Lewis.
