Dr Black was the thirty-seventh The Blogs of Doom short story, published in 2020 in Doctor Who Magazine 557. Like other features in the series, it narrated events in the life of a minor Doctor Who TV character before and after their involvement in the Doctor's life.
In this case, the subject of writer Jonathan Morris's attention was Doctor Black, Bill Nighy's art historian character from TV: Vincent and the Doctor, who was shown to take an interest with various other works of art interacted with by the Doctor over the years.

Continuity
- Doctor Black works at the Musée d’Orsay giving tours of the Musée's collection of Vincent van Gogh paintings. (TV: Vincent and the Doctor)
- Black is aware of the short-lived "Dada-esque exhibit" briefly exposed at the Denise René Gallery: a blue police phone box. He restates the male and female art lovers' judgement that as it "had no ‘public call’ to be in the gallery, the art lay in the fact that it was there", adding "until it wasn't". (TV: City of Death)
- Infra-red analysis of the Mona Lisa in the Louvre uncovered the fact that "THIS IS FAKE" was written in Sharpie underneath the paint. (TV: City of Death)
- Doctor Black is friends with the Curator of the National Gallery, who showed him Gallifrey Falls No More in confidence. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
