The Final Script was a three-page comic story in the style of their Doctor Who? strips, printed in Tim Quinn and Dicky Howett's The Doctor Who Fun Book. It posited the end of the Doctor's adventures at a point during the Sixth Doctor's tenure.

Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Sixth Doctor boasts to Mel that he has finally defeated all the monsters in the universe. This is a curse in disguise, as it soon becomes apparent that the Doctor has not the faintest idea what to do with his life now.

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  • Among the classic Doctor Who monsters, two unlikely entries are worked in: Roberta Tovey (who played Susan in Dr. Who and the Daleks [+]Loading...["Dr. Who and the Daleks (theatrical film)"] and Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. [+]Loading...["Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (theatrical film)"], two films whose infamy in the trad Doctor Who fandom explains her status as a nemesis of the televised Doctor in this parody) and the Snipes, a species featured in The Universe Marathon, a game included earlier in The Doctor Who Fun Book.
  • The Doctor growing almost instantly restless when forced to sit still and not defeat any monsters in particular is a gag which would later be featured in the TV series proper in the Eleventh Doctor episode The Power of Three [+]Loading...["The Power of Three (TV story)"].
