It was available via the BBCI website in 2001 to 2002. However, unlike the other webcasts starring classic series Doctors that premiered, it is considered alternate to ''[[Doctor Who]]'' for apparently depicting the death of [[the Doctor]], negating the timeline that led into the [[Doctor Who (TV story)|TV movie]]. Also, the portrayal of the [[Time Lord]]s in this story seems different to the one seen in the usual series, giving them the abilities to revoke [[TARDIS]]es and release forbidden powers that disrupt the [[universe]]. | ||
The root of ''Death Comes to Time'' is that, before plans were announced to revive the series, an attempt was made to create a story that would act as the series finale for ''Doctor Who'' altogether. This ending would dovetail into a spin-off that would be the spiritual successor to ''Doctor Who'', called ''The Minister of Chance''.

This ending would dovetail into a spin-off that would be the spiritual successor to ''Doctor Who'', called ''The Minister of Chance''. The would-be finale depicts the Doctor making a final sacrifice, and an implied downfall of the Time Lord society prior to the events of the story, as the few Time Lords seen in the story are stated to be the last alive. The Doctor's [[companion]], [[Ace (Death Comes to Time)|Ace]], also ends up on her own, solemnly telling [[The Brigadier (Death Comes to Time)|the Brigadier]] about the Doctor's demise. However, because the Doctor's body is never found, his final fate is unclear. | ||

When a dissident [[Time Lord]] group inadvertently caused the destruction of an entire civilisation through interference, its members vowed to repent by serving the Universe not as gods of Time but as mere men. Many years later, this peaceful resolve is severely tested when two of their number are killed -- and the Doctor's seventh incarnation becomes embroiled in the struggle against the apparently unstoppable General [[Tannis]]. | When a dissident [[Time Lord]] group inadvertently caused the destruction of an entire civilisation through interference, its members vowed to repent by serving the Universe not as gods of Time but as mere men.
