Prepare for Confusion

Once upon a time, there was a show called Doctor Who. It’s unique ability to canonically change the lead role’s actor allowed it to run for twenty years, the latter five under heavy fire from the BBC, which produced the show.
After it was put off air, fans turned to other formats for stories, such as books, audios, and even a TV movie in 1996. But before all of this, there was a man who wanted to continue the show himself. He started the company BBV and hired actors who held lead roles in the show to produce stories clearly tied to the show, but not enough for a lawsuit to be in order.
The show was put back on air in 2005, and the company Big Finish hired those actors for their admittedly much better audio stories, also found on this site. BBV collapsed.
This here, then, is 3 of those un-official stories, written and performed by veterans or future production members of the show. If you are a hardcore, lore invested Doctor Who fan like myself, I highly recommend this collection of spin-offs and what ifs. If you are not, this collection is DEFINITELY not a good idea, unless you are just curious.
The stories themselves are excellent in this case and the acting superb. 9/10
