Baker's End was an audio series released by Bafflegab Productions. It focused on the aftermath of the death of a fictionalised version of Tom Baker, who existed in a universe where the events of the Martian invasion of Earth from The War of the Worlds actually happened. The real Baker and Katy Manning co-starred in the series.

Connections to the DWU

Despite its remit of providing the real Tom Baker with a series unrelated to his more notorious character (the Fourth Doctor), the series actually had several legal links to the Doctor Who universe: Paul Magrs' Martians played a large role in the series, setting the scene and being present in every story; the version of Tom Baker first referenced in Bafflement and Devotion was the eponymous lead character; and a ghostly version of the character of Vince Cosmos appeared in second episode of the series, Gobbleknoll Hall. The series also had a prose crossover with Magrs' other series, The Nest Cottage Chronicles, which was thematically linked to Baker's End.

However, as per the conclusion of this thread, the Tardis Data Core Wiki does not recognise the Vince Cosmos in Gobbleknoll Hall as the same individual as the N-Space one from an in-universe perspective, even if they represent the same legal license. Consequently, this faux-crossover is not considered a valid source on this Wiki.
