Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Lance Parkin's The School of Doom, an interlude for Father Time published in the Myth Makers fanzine, foreshadows the Doctor's future as the Emperor. The Master asserts that he and the Doctor were two of the four surviving elementals, and they need to find the others and rule the new universe damaged by Gallifrey's destruction.
- The Tenth Doctor's alternate timeline in Four Doctors bears a striking resemblance to the Emperor: both feature the Doctor as the last of his kind, taking a different name, ruling over the universe as a tyrant, and even end in an assassination. Miranda's resemblance to River Song has also been noted.
- The Emperor was first mentioned in Father Time, the 1969 comic of the same name featured a character called Father Time - who was extremely similar to another future incarnation of the Doctor.
