This page should be merged.

It should be relocated at Tales of the TARDIS because The framing devices of Tales of the TARDIS serve the same purpose as The Many Lives of Doctor Who, which is also being talked about merging into one story. It wuld certatnl;y help with the citation conundrum.
Talk about it here or check the revision history for additional comments.

The Curse of Fenric was the sixth and final episode in the Tales of the TARDIS series, released on BBC iPlayer on 1 November 2023 by the BBC, written by Pete McTighe and directed by Joshua M.G. Thomas.

Worldbuilding

  • When Ace asks why he looks so old, the Doctor cryptically replies how "time streams are funny things" and that his regenerating is "all a matter of perspective."
  • The Doctor mentions the Rani, and suggests she may have played a role in his and Ace's falling out.
  • After she left the Doctor, Ace visited Kathleen Dudman before she died in a care home, and believes she recognised her as the young woman who helped her flee Maiden's Point for London.
  • The chess set set up between the two chairs is set up in the same way the Doctor set up the game for Fenric. The Doctor also plays the solution.

Notes

  • Since Russell T Davies said that the Tales of the TARDIS episodes are canon to the show, it could be argued that this is the first proper canon mention of the events of Dimensions in Time.
