A single, textless and untitled panel was created by comic artist Lee Sullivan, depicting a crossover between Series 1 of Doctor Who and the 2005 BBC miniseries Casanova to reflect the casting of Casanova lead David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor, succeeding Christopher Eccleston's Ninth Doctor.
Plot
As the TARDIS flies through the Time Vortex, the Doctor and Rose await their next destination with glee. Rose steps out the TARDIS door, closely followed by the Doctor, and both are stunned to see multiple bronze Dalek drones occupying St Mark's Square in Venice, both hovering and on the ground. Also present at the scene is none other then Casanova, who comes face to face with the Doctor.
Characters
Story notes
- David Tennant played Casanova in the 2005 BBC miniseries written by Russell T Davies, directed by Sheree Folkson and exec produced by Davies and Julie Gardner. Soon after, Tennant was introduced as the Tenth Doctor, succeeding Christopher Eccleston's Ninth Doctor in the lead role. This panel, with the Ninth Doctor and Rose encountering the Tennant Casanova, is a reference to this and be considered an example of a crossover with a non-DWU series.
- As the naturally brown eyed Tennant had wore blue contact lenses in his portrayal of Casanova to match the older version of the character played by Peter O'Toole, Casanova is accurately depicted with blue eyes.
Continuity
- What appears to be one of Casanova's outfits would be seen when the newly regenerated Tenth Doctor selects his own attire in the TARDIS wardrobe. (TV: The Christmas Invasion)
- The Eleventh Doctor would recall meeting Casanova to Amy Pond and Rory Williams whilst visiting Venice in 1580, 145 years before Casanova's birth. He claims to have owed Casanova a chicken as a result of a bet, (TV: The Vampires of Venice) which one account attributes to a Sontaran invasion. (AUDIO: The House of Masks)
