Other Doctors, low-res pixel style!
In the Doctor’s long life, they have had many incarnations and alternate versions. Here’s a lot of them, from various media. I’m greatly indebted to Paul Hanley’s depictions of the more obscure characters.
1. The Cinematic Dr. Who, Peter Cushing from the two Dalek movies in the 60s, as well as a couple of short stories and comics. Travelling in Tardis, his companions are his grandchildren Susie and Barbara, Barbara’s paramour Ian, his niece Louise, and Tom the bobby.
2. From the stage play “Seven Keys to Doomsday” (and its audio adaptation), Trevor Martin is the original Fourth Doctor before there was one on telly. I used Clayton Hickman’s colourisation as the basis for his look as all reference photos seem to be monochrome. Paul Hanley inspired the appearance of his companions Jenny and Jimmy.
3. David Banks, understudy who played a different Doctor in the other stage play, “The Ultimate Adventure”, when Jon or Colin couldn’t. With Jason, Crystal, and Zog.
4. Nicholas Briggs has played the Doctor many times in many formats. This is based on his “Nth Doctor” incarnation from fan audios, also known as The Wanderer or Fred in unlicensed continuations. He shows up officially in the Doctor Who Magazine comic “Party Animals”, with his companion Ria from the early audios. Greg is another companion from those works, who appears in a promotional photo. Shayde is a DWM comics character who impersonated this Doctor in the later story “Wormwood”.
5. For the 1999 parody special “The Curse of Fatal Death” Rowan Atkinson played the Ninth Doctor, along with his companion Emma and Jonathan Pryce as the Master (with etheric beam locators). During the show he regenerates into Richard E. Grant, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Grant, and finally Joanna Lumley.
6. The proper, official Ninth Doctor, except for that other one. Richard E. Grant returned in the animated webcast “Scream of the Shalka” (plus a short story) with Derek Jacobi as the robot Master, and Alison.
7. Future Doctors. The Valeyard is an evil future version of some kind who menaced the Sixth Doctor. Muldwych is from the Virgin New Adventures novels, and has also been conflated with the “Merlin” Doctor from “Battlefield” and Peter Anghelides’ future Doctor from his short stories (let’s say he’s also the same as Lee Sullivan’s ginger Doctor from the cancelled comic “The Last Regeneration”, because I forgot to draw him elsewhere). The Curator was seen in the 50th special, and also the “Shada” home video linking bits and 1999′s “Doctor Who Night”, played by Tom Baker. The Other is a mysterious dude, identified with the Doctor’s past/future, mainly in some Virgin New Adventures books; this look was invented by Paul Hanley with input from Lance Parkin.
8. Unbound Doctors. Big Finish’s alternate-universe audios provide us with Geoffrey Bayldon, David Warner (who had quite a run in the Bernice Summerfield series as well), David Collings, and Arabella Weir as Doctors.
9. Cancelled Doctors. Boris Karloff was, it is not widely understood, tentatively on board to play the Doctor in radio plays in the 1960s; I based this picture on his 1965 film “Die, Monster, Die!”. David Troughton was to be the basis for an original-to-prose Eighth Doctor for the Virgin New Adventures before the actual one happened. Richard Griffith was planned as the next televised Eighth Doctor before the show was cancelled; Doctor Who Magazine mocked up a possible depiction. Nelvana had a cartoon adaptation cooking with a unique Doctor.
10. Parody Doctors. Doctors from other comedy sketches or films. Lenny Henry on “The Lenny Henry Show”. Jim Broadbent on “Victoria Wood as Seen on TV”. Mark Gatiss on “Doctor Who Night”. Sylvester McCoy as The Foot Doctor in “Do You Have a Licence to Save this Planet?”.
