Silver Scream (comic story)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Silver Scream is the first two-part comic book in the Doctor Who Ongoing series by IDW Publishing scheduled for publication in North America in July 2009.
Summary
- "It’s set in 1920s Hollywood and it’s the Doctor hanging out with Charlie Chaplin. After all, Chaplin comes from London – quite close to where the Powell Estate ends up, I believe! There’s a Jimmy Olsen kind of guy called Matthew and an aspiring actress called Emily who both want to help out. And basically, they are trying to figure out the reason why a lot of actors and actresses are losing their hopes and dreams. And obviously there are also some aliens and stuff like that.
- And as we’re in the Silent Movie era of Hollywood, in the second issue, we have a massive, madcap chase where buildings are falling down on the Doctor, he’s jumping through windows and he’s hanging off clock towers – think Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, Charlie Chaplin, you get the idea."

- In Journey's End when Donna Noble is about to get her memories whiped by the Doctor. She suggests going to meet Charlie Chaplin. This is simmilar as the doctor suggested to Martha Jones that she visit Agatha Christie. Even though Martha left him he and Donna did so.
- In an interview, Tony Lee confirmed that the ongoing series featuring the Tenth Doctor occurs right before the final specials.
- However, as the final scenes of the second special lead into the final two specials, it is likely set before that.
