There were a number of [[fairy tale]]s on [[Gallfrey]] about "'''the Toclafane'''", with which [[the Doctor]] and [[the Master]] were familiar in [[the Doctor's early life|their respective]] [[the Master's early life|childhoods]]. The [[Tenth Doctor]] described "Toclafane" as "a made-up name like [[the Bogeyman]]", treating the thought of their material existence as outrageous. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Sound of Drums (TV story)}}) | |||
{{ | In a later account, the [[Eleventh Doctor]] wrote of "the Toclafane" as "the [[bogeyman]]" of [[Gallifrey]]", and claimed the term did not refer to a specific entity or entities but was used to address any supernatural creatures in Gallifreyan folklore. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|How to be a Time Lord (novel)}}) | ||
Having reemerged after the [[Last Great Time War]] and allied himself with desperate, cyberneticaly modified survivors of [[human]]ity at the [[end of the universe]], the [[Saxon Master]] took them back in time and, posing as [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|Prime Minister]] [[Harold Saxon]], presented them to humanity as "the Toclafane", an alien race who had "[[First contact with the Toclafane|contacted]]" him. Due to his tongue-in-cheek use of the name, the Doctor, watching the TV broadcast, immediately realised there was more to the metal spheres than the Master claimed, and refused to refer to them as such.
