The eponymous main character, the Minister of Chance, is portrayed and characterised consistently with his debut appearance in ''Death Comes to Time''. Although in this series he was played by [[Julian Wadham]] rather than [[Stephen Fry]], initial promotional material for the series explained this by describing him as a "defrocked [[Time Lord]]" "now in his second [[regeneration]]".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120121011622/http://www.ministerofchance.com/ The Minister of Chance: Tales of a defrocked Time Lord... (21 January 2012, via The Internet Archive)]</ref> The events of ''Death Comes to Time'' are alluded to as a tragedy in the Minister's past, and following from the Seventh Doctor's revocation of his [[TARDIS]] in that story, the Minister travels through time and space by "the scientific formula for doors".
