Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

to be added

This was Steven Moffat's first professionally published Doctor Who-related storyline. He would go on to pen the 1999 spoof The Curse of Fatal Death before becoming a multi-Hugo Award-winning scriptwriter for the revived series from 2005 to 2008, and then the show's executive producer commencing in 2009.
Moffat reused the idea of the Doctor travelling back in time to alter a person's perception of him in the television story A Christmas Carol.
The idea of a planet-sized library was later reused in the television story Silence in the Library, while the description of the Doctor as a Complex Space-Time Event was echoed by his self-identification as a complicated space-time event in Flesh and Stone. Professor Candy himself would ultimately get a televised cameo in the final scene of Let's Kill Hitler.
Moffat originally considered calling this story both History MD and The Curse Of Fatal Death, the latter of which he later used.^[1]

Professor Candy is mentioned in PROSE: Oh No It Isn't!, and appears in TV: Let's Kill Hitler.
The Library was inspired by the events of PROSE: Fegovy.
