::What's to say he didn't give the order? The Master arrived as Harold Saxon before the events of the Racnoss and therefore before the Doctor's death. Presumably since he doesn't become PM however he likely vanished due to the paradox created or maybe the Trickster dealt with him. | ::What's to say he didn't give the order?

:::Because the Doctor died in [[The Runaway Bride (TV story)|The Runaway Bride]], he didn't meet Martha, so they didn't travel to the year 100 trillion, so Professor Yana didn't open the fob watch. Even if he did, he couldn't have gotten a hold of the Doctor's TARDIS. Now you're probably thinking, "Well, couldn't another Time Lord have gotten there by accident?" Well, technically yes, but since the Eleventh Doctor was never around to make the decision to change history and save Gallifrey, and neither was the Tenth Doctor, Gallifrey would actually have been destroyed, so the only Time Lords that could have gotten there had to be from before the Time War. But it's made pretty clear that "Not even the Time Lords came this far." Not to mention the TARDIS he used to get there was sent back to Gallifrey ([[AUDIO]]:''[[The Heavenly Paradigm (audio story)|The Heavenly Paradigm]]'') Essentially, the Master was trapped there. | :::Because the Doctor died in [[The Runaway Bride (TV story)|The Runaway Bride]], he didn't meet Martha, so they didn't travel to the year 100 trillion, so Professor Yana didn't open the fob watch.

* What about the Lazarus creature? After Smith and Jones the next 'present day' episode is The Lazarus Experiment.

::It would not have happened. The Lazarus Project formed part of a plan by Harold Saxon,, to trap the Doctor and Martha. With the Doctor dead, Professor Yana would not have reverted to the Master, and so Lazarus didn't get funding for his project. | ::It would not have happened.
