''[[Death Comes to Time (webcast)|Death Comes to Time]]'', produced in the years following the [[Doctor Who (TV story)|introduction]] of [[Paul McGann]]'s [[Eighth Doctor]] but before plans were announced to revive the series, was an attempt 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''. The would-be finale depicts [[Seventh Doctor]], as ever portrayed by [[Sylvester McCoy]], 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. | ''[[Death Comes to Time (webcast)|Death Comes to Time]]'', produced in the years following the [[Doctor Who (TV story)|introduction]] of [[Paul McGann]]'s [[Eighth Doctor]] but before plans were announced to revive the series, was an attempt to create a story that would act as the series finale for ''Doctor Who'' altogether.

Freedman explained that his plans for the ''Doctor Who'' reboot which would have followed on from ''Death Comes to Time'' would have been to carry on with a different main character picking up the Doctor's legacy, but that eventually, the Doctor would have been revealed to have survived, possibly even as [[Paul McGann]]'s [[Eighth Doctor]], though with the full circumstances of his survival regeneration left ambiguous and presumably not matching the events depicted in [[Doctor Who (TV story)|the 1996 TV movie]]. | ||
''Death Comes to Time'' would be referred to in several valid sources including, ironically, the [[BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures]]. Furthermore, ''[[Zagreus (audio story)|Zagreus]]'' implies that the story takes place in an [[alternate reality]] which is glimpsed by the Eighth Doctor. | ''Death Comes to Time'' would be referred to in several valid sources including, ironically, the [[BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures]].
