The Fourteenth Doctor was first alluded to… in 2008?
BY RICHARD LLOYD
APRIL 30TH, 2023
The Eighth Doctor once remarked that humans are “always seeing patterns in things that aren’t there”, and Doctor Who fans are no exception.
We can’t help but fill in the blanks when things go unexplained, or make connections between plot points that, frankly, didn’t need making.
For example, does the fact that Graham and Lady Cassandra share the same surname, O’Brien, mean they’re distantly related? There’s nothing to say this is the case – but equally, there’s nothing to say it isn’t.
All fan theories exist in this grey area between “canon” and “not canon”, and for this reason, they’re not always taken seriously. But some of them actually make a lot of sense. And some are just too good to ignore.
Have certain characters had a greater hand in events than first thought? Can behind-the-scenes design changes be reconciled with Gallifreyan lore? And is every mysterious side character a Time Lord in disguise?
In the world of Doctor Who fan theories, anything’s possible…
