10 Doctor Who Futures That Are Now In The Past

At the turn of the millennium, the Master almost turned the universe inside out during his battle with the Eighth Doctor. With the Eye of Harmony open, the very fabric of reality became malleable, which would've only made the first hangover of 2000 even more painful.

Thankfully, predictions of widespread devastation at midnight on 1 January 2000 never came to pass. We came close thanks to the Millennium Bug, but like the Master's plot with the Eye of Harmony, its effects were rolled back and caused minor disruptions.

Airing in 1996, the Doctor Who TV Movie wasn't the only bit of science-fiction to predict the end of life as we knew it as we inched closer to the year 2000, so it needn't feel bad for getting it wrong. Interestingly, Torchwood would later reveal that Captain Jack's predecessor killed himself and his team at the turn of the century, because he feared what was coming.

The TV Movie did make one accurate prediction for the future though – the Doctor would be doing a lot more kissing from the year 2000 onward. The Tenth Doctor certainly made good on that promise when he arrived in 2005!
