Scott Sauber was announced in DWM 113 as the winner of the Doctor Who Casting Competition from DWM 108, wherein which readers were invited to submit actors for a new the Doctor, companion and villain in an imaginary, high-budget Doctor Who movie. After the follow-up Doctor Who Design Competition, this resulted in the publication of Winning Designs, which featured professional art of the resulting "imaginary" Doctor Who characters, the Doctor, the Master and Maggie.

Sauber's suggestions were Brian Blessed as the Doctor, John Hurt as the villain, and Meryl Streep as the companion — this being decades before Hurt was cast as the War Doctor by the actual TV show. In the columns of DWM 113, he explained his choices thus:

Brian Blessed could add a devious eccentricity to the Doctor. Meryl Streep is a box-office name and could add a questioning intelligence to the part of the companion. John Hurt is simply fantastic and can play fascinating, in-depth villains, as he proved in Crime And Punishment and I, Claudius. The United States can be very breathtaking as Hitchcock proved, and deserves to be featured in a Doctor Who story.Scott Sauber, DWM 113

In reward for his winning the competition, Sauber was given a signed copy of The TARDIS Inside Out. (REF: DWM 113)
