- Eighth Doctor
- Ninth Doctor
- Tenth Doctor

References
- In 1985, Adric returns after the BBC finally give in to pressure from the Bring Back Adric Fan Club which consists solely of his mother.
- 1988 marks the appearance of the first female Dr Who. She orders new wallpaper and carpet to be installed into her TARDIS and one decorator uses pink paint.
- 1990 sees the Master's most cunning disguise to date which fools even their companion into believing the Master is the Doctor.
- In 1993, a Dalek, Cyberman, Mechonoid and Giant Robot team-up to form the heaviest Heavy Metal band ever.
- In 1995, there are twelve incarnations of the Doctor around.
- In 1998, the third Dr Who movie, made by Stan Demile Productions Ltd, finally gets underway at the script session. The writers suggest to each other that they could write-out the TARDIS and make the Doctor a surgeon in a Birmingham hospital and also bring in a wombat to show it's a family film.
- In 2000, the Doctor Who Cottage (Police Box) Industries is formed. The Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Doctors are involved and announce that recorders, sonic screwdrivers, hand-knitted scarfs and willow cricket bats respectively are available to purchase.
- In 2003, as the mania for Doctor Who-related merchandise grew, Patrick Troughton is sold for eighty-eight million pounds at a convention.
Notes
- Obviously none of these predictions for the future of Doctor Who came true. Of particular note, by 1995 there were still only seven Doctors and a female Doctor hadn't appeared on television by 1988 and did not do so until 1999's The Curse of Fatal Death with Joanna Lumley's Thirteenth Doctor and not in a regular episode until Jodie Whittaker's Thirteenth Doctor in 2017's Twice Upon a Time.
