10 Awkward Things That Must Have Happened After Doctor Who Episodes

10. The Post-Saxon General Election

The year is 2008, and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Harold Saxon (aka The Master) has just assassinated the President of the United States live on national television. Even when time is rolled back in the next episode, this incident has still taken place.

How does any country even begin to address the global ramifications of such an insane political situation, let alone two of the most powerful nations in the world? Doctor Who is surprisingly vague on what happens after this extraordinary event.

Removing one bad Prime Minister doesn't instantly solve the many problems they created. Many people voted for Harold Saxon, and many politicians attached their wagon to the campaign promises of a megalomaniacal Time Lord.

So surely, there were several awkward editions of Question Time, where the great and good of the British political establishment discussed what to do next.

After all, "must not lead an alien invasion and assassinate the US President" is a pretty low bar for the next Prime Minister of the UK.
