Meeting the Doctor[[edit] | [edit source]]

In November 2023, (PROSE: The Star Beast [+]Loading...["The Star Beast (novelisation)"]) Shaun was working a shift in his taxi cab when, after trying to get Rose's attention while she and Donna were out shopping, the Fourteenth Doctor leapt towards him and insisted he drive him to the site of a crashed spaceship, despite the road closers. While perplexed at his identity card claiming he was a woman, Shaun let him in regardless when he guaranteed he knew a route. During the drive, the Doctor let slip that he knew Donna, and Shaun, after being told he knew her through Nerys, updated him on his and Donna's life since their wedding, and then let him off near Millson Wagner Steelworks.

When he returned home from work, Shaun discovered the Doctor was in his house, along with Donna, Rose, Sylvia and the Meep. Confused by the Doctor, Shaun listened as he communicated with the Meep while bandaging his paw. The Soldiers of the Psychedelic Sun and Wrarth Warriors suddenly attacked the house, and Shaun fled upstairs to the attic with the others and crossed through the walls to escape the destruction in his taxi cab, though with the Doctor at the wheel. Shaun then witnessed the Doctor's trial between the Meep and the Wrarth Warriors, the former of whom soon captured them, with the Meep having been revealed as evil after killing the Wrarth Warriors.

At the Steelworks, Shaun and his family were rescued by UNIT scientific advisor Shirley Bingham, but Donna insisted they separate, with Shaun getting Rose and Sylvia to safety while she went to help the Doctor. Soon after, Shaun watched as Rose's meta-crisis consciousness was released, enabling her to stop the Meep's Dagger Drive. Shaun commented that he felt the luckiest man alive to have both Rose and Donna in his life after they decided letting go of the meta-crisis.

Within the next few days of Donna's disappearance, Shaun, Rose and Sylvia went into hiding at Wilf's behest after the world fell into the madness (TV: Wild Blue Yonder [+]Loading...["Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)"]) caused by the Toymaker and the Giggle. After the Doctor and his fifteenth incarnation resolved the crisis, and the Fourteenth Doctor decided to take "rehab" on Earth to heal his mental state, Shaun came to a garden party with his family and Melanie Bush, where he served a chicken dish, a vegan dish, poppadoms and cauliflower cheese, (TV: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"]) at the Doctor's home in the countryside.
