-In the real world, "the Wilderness Years" refers to the 16 year gap between the "classic series" and the "new series" of ''[[Doctor Who]]'', where no new series was broadcast, between the premiere of ''[[Survival (TV story)|Survival]]'' in 1989 and ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'', the 2005 debut of the [[Ninth Doctor]]. In this interim period, many [[DWU]] stories and [[spin-off]]s were released across various mediums along with a sparse amount of televised productions, most notably the 1996 [[Doctor Who (TV story)|telefilm]] which saw the Seventh Doctor [[regenerate]] into the [[Eighth Doctor]] in an ultimately unsuccessful attempt at relaunching the series.
