Doctor Who ended in 2017 after the Doctor was given a new cycle of regeneration by the Time Lords in The Time of the Doctor following the pleas of Clara. The monstrosity of the Timeless Child created by Chibnall after Doctor Who ended isn't canon. > Which just proves that Doctor Who is not consistent with > itself... and it's whatever the Executive Producer of the day > wants that counts! No it doesn't. Staying true to the original character and rationale is what counts. The Doctor died in The Fall of the Doctor and that's it. I have written a fan fic in which he is saved but it's fan fic just like everything written by Moffat, Chibnall and Davies after the The Fall of the Doctor too. -- The True Doctor https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCngrZwoS0n21IRcXpKO79Lw "To be woke is to be uninformed which is exactly the opposite of what it stands for." -William Shatner
