Doctor Who: The Cancelled Era

In the 6th of December 1989. Jonathan Powell, the new Controller of BBC 1, regarded Nathan-Turner with contempt, and the BBC's head head of Series, Peter Cregeen, decided to cancel the series, a decision which was clear to the production team by the end of production on the twenty-sixth in August 1989. Therefore, Doctor Who has officially been cancelled. But, what if. What if Doctor Who wasn't cancelled in 1989. How this could've changed the history of the show itself if it had survived the cancellation?
