Tesseract is the third story arc in the Doctor Who Ongoing series. It is divided into two chapters: Time Smash and a second chapter (title yet to be revealed).
Summary
While the Doctor gives his new companions, Emily Winter and Matthew Finnegan, a tour of the TARDIS, the vessel is invaded by a number of dimension-hopping aliens.
Characters
- The Doctor
- Matthew Finnegan
- Emily Winter
- Acari soldiers
- Unnamed (as yet) female leader
- Tef'Aree
References
- The Shadow Proclamation is mentioned.
- The Doctor is shown wearing (at the same time) elements of the Sixth and Fifth Doctor's outfits, as well as the Fourth Doctor's scarf (which is used to save his life later), the Seventh Doctor's hat and the Eighth Doctor's cravat.
- Adric is mentioned several times, including a reference to his death, which is recalled in detail. (DW: Earthshock)
- Donna Noble is mentioned.
- The events of IDW: Silver Scream are referenced.
- The Doctor refuses to allow Emily to take possession of Jack Harkness' sonic blaster as he says it is reserved for "someone else" (River Song).
- The Cloister Bell sounds.
- The Doctor refers to an alarm clock as "Mickey" - a reference to Mickey Mouse.
- Emily arms herself with the Fifth Doctor's cricket bat.
- The Doctor's wind-up mouse (DW: The Doctor's Daughter) is used and is mistaken for K-9 by the Acari.
- Vislor Turlough is mentioned.
Notes
- Part 1 of the story takes place almost entirely within the bowels of the TARDIS. Only a handful of stories have explored the interior of the TARDIS, including DW: The Invasion of Time, DW: Castrovalva, and DWM: Changes.

Continuity
The TARDIS
- The Doctor describes the TARDIS as "a box of cubes" with each cube shuffling around if the box is shaken.
- There are apparently many console rooms in the TARDIS. (Possibly contradicting the "desktop theme" comment in DW: Time Crash, or perhaps a simple reference to there being auxiliary control rooms such as the one introduced in DW: The Masque of Mandragora.)
- Some aspects of the interior remain as it looked in the classic series, including white rooms with roundels, a garden (DW: Logopolis), industrial-looking corridors (DW: The Invasion of Time), and a cathedral-like room (DW: Doctor Who TV movie). Of this last, the Doctor acknowledges that he hasn't been in that room for awhile.
- In addition, Adric's room still exists within the TARDIS.

Timeline
- Tesseract occurs soon after: IDW: Fugitive (possibly immediately after as Emily changes out of her 1920s dress), and at some point after the events of DW: Journey's End.
