History

Early history

Bob Dovie lived in Totton, Hampshire. On 23 November 1962, the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Doctors crashed the Sixth Doctor's TARDIS into both his garden shed and his chimney. Exactly one year later, the Master used Bob to set off a conceptual bomb that destroyed the Doctor's TARDIS. Thanks to the combined efforts of the first eight Doctors, the timeline was changed and the bomb was never planted. (AUDIO: The Light at the End)
