Here be spoilers
So at the end of The Natural History of Fear it is revealed that the Doctor and his companions minds are kept in the system. Now here's a fan theory that at the end of the Arc as the Divergent Universe disappears but as the energy is dispersed what if the copy of the Doctor's mind goes into the mind of a human who now thinks he is Doctor Who, becoming the Doctor Who of the two sixties Dalek movies with Peter Cushing

Well that conclusive for me, if you can bring Peter Cushing's movies into the Who canon without breaking things, then really there is nothing, however contradictory it appears that can't be brought into the fold.

Cool idea. I also like the two other theories that have been proposed in the DWU: that the Cushing movies existed in-universe as movies (there was a very meta short story about Pertwee's Doctor watching them while in exile and Steven Moffat wanted to include the posters in the Black Archive but the rights were too expensive) or that the Cushing Dr Who was a mental creation of the First Doctor to protect himself from a strange monster (in the Short Trips: A Day in the Life story The Five O'clock Shadow).

There's also the Prey for a Miracle film starring Peter Cushing as government advisor Dr. Who mentioned in Salvation, but that said... Don't forget the one by Cushing himself; that he's a far future Doctor captured by the Celestial Toymaker and forced to relive his old adventures, with some tweaks so the Toymaker can control him. I do rather like this explanation that Cushing's Doctor lost and became a plaything of the Celestial Toymaker for a time with his actual TARDIS stored elsewhere and Tardis just being a convenient way of transferring him from one scenario to another. |
