10 Unmade Doctor Who Stories We Wish We'd Seen

The ending of The War Games is heart-breaking. Sent back to their appropriate time and place, Jamie and Zoe have their memories wiped of their many adventures with the Doctor. Not so bad for Zoe who can go back to a fairly comfortable life on a space station.

Jamie faces a much harder life. Returned back to his life following the battle of Culloden, he faces slavery, murder or as detailed in one comic by the legendary Grant Morrison, madness. His ending, however, was almost much more hopeful. In a story that would have formed the third part in a Yeti trilogy, he and the TARDIS would arrive at a Scottish castle, owned by an ageing Laird.

The castle is soon under siege from the Great Intelligence and the Yeti. The Doctor defeats them and Jamie decides to stay on at the castle, becoming its new Laird. He falls in love with a local girl, Fiona and is left to live happily ever after. The story was never filmed, due to an ongoing copyright dispute between the BBC and the writers Melvyn Haisman and Henry Lincoln, who eventually withdrew their script. And so Jamie is left to his fate on the fields of Culloden.
