The Christmas Inversion was the third short story in Twelve Doctors of Christmas, featuring the Third Doctor.

Summary

to be added

Characters

References

  • This story essentially takes place at the same time as The Christmas Invasion, with the Third Doctor arriving in Jackie's flat after the Tenth Doctor's TARDIS has been taken up to the Sycorax ship and leaving after his future self has been returned to London.

Notes

  • It's explained that the Tenth Doctor was able to complete his regeneration and stabilize his new incarnation by siphoning regenerative energy off of the Third Doctor, the latter referring to it as "energy osmosis".

Continuity

  • The Doctor mentions the "Omega business". (TV: The Three Doctors)
  • Jackie believes that the Doctor has regenerated again, and, when meeting Jo and Yates, she thinks that Rose and Mickey have also changed their appearance. (TV: The Christmas Invasion)
  • UNIT's secret HQ is no longer located inside a building marked with a sign which reads "UNIT Headquarters," (TV: The Five Doctors) and in instead a base under the Tower of London. (TV: The Power of Three)
  • Jackie asks Jo why she isn't in the Doctor's future, and wonders if he makes a habit out of taking people with him before moving on. Rose herself will confront this thinking when meeting Sarah Jane Smith. (TV: School Reunion)
  • When Mike Yates mentions UNIT's name (United Nations Intelligence Taskforce), the Beefeater notes that it's actually "Unified Nations Intelligence Taskforce." This same discrepancy was noted in a conversation between Jack Harkness and John Benton. (COMIC: Official Secrets)

According to one account, the Master had the appearance of Roger Delgado while on Gallifrey. According to another, he had Anthony Ainley's likeness. According to another one, the one with James Dreyfus's appearance was the incarnation who ran away from Gallifrey.

Divided Loyalties, A Brief History of Time Lords and The Legions of Death feature, or otherwise acknowledge, the War Chief, but in the process contradicted the notion put forward by other stories that he was an incarnation of the Master.

One account suggests that the incarnation portrayed by Roger Delgado may be the same as the one portrayed by Peter Pratt while some others distinguish them.

According to one account, the incarnation portrayed by Gordon Tipple is the one portrayed by Anthony Ainley, while some others state that the Ainley one was already lost by then.

While fighting to extend his life at the end of his regeneration cycle, many bodies were possessed by the Beevers incarnation, but all kept somehow reverting to his real being until he finally regenerated into the MacQueen one. Hence, these sections cannot be strictly chronological
