Fanon: Difference between revisions

* The concept that [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] is meant to be operated by six pilots at once was a long-standing piece of fanon which was finally confirmed in ''[[Journey's End]].''

* The idea of the Doctor's TARDIS being a sentient, living creature in its own right rather than a mere functional vehicle was occasionally distantly implied in the classic ''Doctor Who'' television series, but greatly expanded upon in fanon and spin-off media. Eventually the concept found its way into televised ''Doctor Who,'' with the soul of the TARDIS making itself fully known to the [[Eleventh Doctor]] in ''[[The Doctor's Wife]].''

* The possibility that a [[Time Lord]] might possibly change gender when they [[regeneration|regenerate]] was notably hinted at by [[John Nathan-Turner]] and [[Tom Baker]], when as a publicity stunt they suggested to the press that Baker's replacement in the role of [[the Doctor]] might be female, but the idea was never used on-screen. The idea entered fanon and occasionally appeared in spinoff media such as ''[[Interference - Book One]]'' and ''[[Exile (audio story)|Exile]],'' before eventually being mentioned on-screen in ''[[The Doctor's Wife]]'' and revealed to have actually occurred on screen in ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'' by way of Missy revealing herself as {{Gomez}} in ''[[Dark Water (TV story)|Dark Water]]''.
