This article needs a big cleanup.

This isn't real. It's part of the meta-fiction story What If?. Needs rewriting as an in universe article.

These problems might be so great that the article's factual accuracy has been compromised. Talk about it here or check the revision history or Manual of Style for more information.

Network was a story that was to have been a part of Season 28, had Doctor Who continued to be produced beyond Survival, probably written by Ben Aaronovitch and Marc Platt.

According to the DWM 255 article What If?, the story would have featured the return of the Rani and would have been set in a university where she was posing as vice chancellor.[1] Other ideas posed by Aaronovitch and Platt included the Rani creating a "biological computer virus" to take control of the world's computer systems as well as Winifred Bambera returning. A similar plot would later appear in the Sixth Doctor audio story, The Rani Elite.

Another thing of note mentioned by the What If? article is that Network was envisioned as potentially being the final story of Doctor Who.
