Speaking during the [[English Civil War]], the [[Second Doctor]] admitted to [[Polly Wright]] that he had seen or heard of "all kinds of" '''possible [[future]]s''' from the "great" to "truly terrible", which were "all out there". He acknowledged [[England]]s with a third, fourth, or fifth Civil War, a resurgent [[monarch]] who ruthlessly oppressed all [[democracy]], a triumphalist, hereditary [[Puritan Protectorate]] that ruled the country until the [[20th century]], or an invading [[Catholic]] [[army]] which took advantage of England's crisis to take over most of the [[known world]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Roundheads (novel)|The Roundheads]]'')

He acknowledged [[England]]s with a [[Third English Civil War|third]], [[Fourth English Civil War|fourth]], or [[Fifth English Civil War|fifth Civil War]], a resurgent [[monarch]] who ruthlessly oppressed all [[democracy]], a triumphalist, hereditary [[Puritan Protectorate]] that ruled the country until the [[20th century]], or an invading [[Catholic]] [[army]] which took advantage of England's crisis to take over most of the known world. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Roundheads (novel)}}) Similarly, the [[First Doctor]] warned [[Steven Taylor]] that even saving the [[life]] of a [[child]] in the [[1240]] [[siege of Kiev]] could change [[history]] into a future where [[Adolf Hitler]] did not lose the [[Second World War]] and an [[atomic war]] consumed most of [[Asia]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Bunker Soldiers (novel)}})


The [[Thirteenth Doctor]] told [[Team TARDIS|her companions]] that [[Orphan 55]] was only a "possible future" for the Earth of [[2020]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Orphan 55 (TV story)|Orphan 55]]'')
The "latest [[temporal projection]]s" before the [[Genesis Incident]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Genesis of the Daleks (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the Genesis of the Daleks]]'') showed a future where the [[Dalek]]s had succeeded in wiping out all other living beings across [[N-Space|the universe]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)}}) During the [[Last Great Time War]], the [[Time Lord]]s used [[the Matrix]] to project encounters between [[the Doctor]] and the Daleks in the [[post-Time War universe]], which they then believed were only "theoretical". ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Dalek Combat Training Manual (reference book)}})
 
The [[Eleventh Doctor]] and [[Clara Oswald]] came into contact with what the former identified as a [[Alternate timeline (Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS)|possible future]], which was ultimately averted. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS (TV story)}}) The [[Twelfth Doctor]] told Clara that their encounter with [[Twelfth Doctor's hologram ghost|his ghost]] was not a potential future as they had just experienced it. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Before the Flood (TV story)}}) Conversely, the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] told [[Team TARDIS|her companions]] that [[Orphan 55]] was only a "possible future" for the Earth of [[2020]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Orphan 55 (TV story)}})
 
Whilst exposed after being victim of a [[time ram]], the [[heart of the TARDIS|heart]] of [[the Master's TARDIS]] showed {{Delgado}} some of his possible futures. In one the Master was horribly deformed, being cared for in a [[Zero Room]] on Gallifrey after being rescued by Chancellor [[Goth]]. In another the Master had achieved his aim of conquest, but now possessed an entirely alien body. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Threshold (audio story)}})


During the [[Last Great Time War]], the [[Time Lord]]s used [[the Matrix]] to project encounters between [[the Doctor]] and the [[Dalek]]s in the [[post-Time War universe]], which they then believed were only "theoretical".
