What if Doctor Who was made by two obsessive Whovians on the internet featuring a dead actor? The Doctor returns after the horrifying events of last season and is dealing with the death of his companion, Jodie. The TARDIS has brought him to a strange planet, where he eventually meets two human slaves. By the end of the episode, one dies, and the other, named Laun, comes with the Doctor because she has nowhere else to go. Albeit begrudgingly as The Doctor is worried that he will get her killed as well. Learning from one another, they go on many adventures, like introducing Laun to modern day Earth, a planet called Iyoa, meeting Franz Kafka under familiar circumstances, a reintroduction to the Ice Warriors and a being called The Light, a Silurian/Human colony, and the Doctor facing his fears and worries about companions being killed. The episodes featured are: Planet of Kiar'ans, Welcome to Earth, Where Am I?, The Overseers, Memories of the Daleks, The Frozen Wastes/Beneath the Ice, The Passenger, Life in Plastic, Fear of the Silurians, In the World of the Dead, The Alien/The Ruins, and the Christmas Special featuring a meta-commentary on aliens broadcasting on TV channels wanting a certain goal.
