'''''{{StoryTitle}}''''' was a full-page comic story by [[Tim Quinn]] and [[Dicky Howett]] included in [[DWM 105]]. Unrelated to [[Enlightenment (TV story)|the TV story of the same name]], it instead focused on the inner workings of [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] and, in the process, inadvertently foreshadowed a recurring element of the later revived series. | '''''{{StoryTitle}}''''' was a full-page comic story by [[Tim Quinn]] and [[Dicky Howett]] included in [[DWM 105]].

* The [[stairs|stairway]] leading up from the [[TARDIS control room]] to the roof of the [[outer plasmic shell]] is adorned with a portrait. Two, labelled No. 1 and No. 2, depict the [[First Doctor]] and the [[Second Doctor]]. Also pictured are "[[-10 (Enlightenment)|-10]]" (a bald, round-faced man), [[-6 (Enlightenment)|-6]] (a bearded man dressed like a [[hippie]]), "[[No. 33 (Enlightenment)|No. 33]]" (a man with an enlarged forehead emblazoned with a [[question mark]]), and [[No. 13 (Enlightenment)|No. 13]] (a smiling, middle-aged man with dark hair). The exhausted Peri passes by several more portraits. | * The [[stairs|stairway]] leading up from the [[TARDIS control room]] to the roof of the [[outer plasmic shell]] is adorned with a portrait.

* As the portraits of the [[First Doctor]] and [[Second Doctor]] are labelled "No. 1" and "No. 2", the clear implication is that the other numbered portraits adorning the TARDIS staircases are of other, unknown incarnations of [[the Doctor]]; [[No. 33 (Enlightenment)|No. 33]] and [[No. 13 (Enlightenment)|No. 13]] would respectively be the Thirty-Third and Thirteenth Doctors, while the "minus"-numbered Doctors would, logically, be incarnations [[The Doctor's early life|predating]] the commonly-understood "[[First Doctor]]", [[William Hartnell]]. However, none of the pictured individuals are explicitly identified as the Doctor, and indeed, even if they are purported, in-universe, to depict the Doctor, there is no certainty that the portraits are accurate; the eventual [[Thirteenth Doctor]] introduced on television, of course, bore no resemblance to "No. 13" in ''Enlightenment''. | * As the portraits of the [[First Doctor]] and [[Second Doctor]] are labelled "No. 1" and "No. 2", the clear implication is that the other numbered portraits adorning the TARDIS staircases are of other, unknown incarnations of [[the Doctor]]; [[No. 33 (Enlightenment)|No. 33]] and [[No. 13 (Enlightenment)|No. 13]] would respectively be the Thirty-Third and Thirteenth Doctors, while the "minus"-numbered Doctors would, logically, be incarnations [[The Doctor's early life|predating]] the commonly-understood "[[First Doctor]]", [[William Hartnell]].

*If taken at face value, the TARDIS containing portraits of alleged future incarnations of the Doctor during the [[Sixth Doctor]]'s era may hint at time within the TARDIS being flexible, an idea later explored at greater length in ''[[The Doctor's Wife (TV story)|The Doctor's Wife]]''. | * If taken at face value, the TARDIS containing portraits of alleged future incarnations of the Doctor during the [[Sixth Doctor]]'s era may hint at time within the TARDIS being flexible, an idea later explored at greater length in ''[[The Doctor's Wife (TV story)|The Doctor's Wife]]''. | ||
