10 Unmade Doctor Who Stories We Wish We'd Seen

If Doctor Who hadn't been placed on hiatus following its 22nd season, there was a whole host of adventures planned. Many of these, like The Nightmare Fair and Mission to Magnus have been both novelised and dramatised in the intervening years. One of the unmade stories that remains so due to the lack of a finished script is Robert Holmes' Yellow Fever and How to Cure it.

In a classic example of producer John Nathan-Turner's grab-bag approach to story commissioning, it was to be set in Singapore and feature the return of the Master, the Rani and for the first time in over twenty years, the Autons. Also appearing would be the Brigadier, who would be in Singapore on holiday before being dragged into the adventure.

All that's really known about the story is that the Master and the Rani would be disguised as street theatre performers and in-league with the Autons. John Nathan-Turner had done a location recce, or holiday as some would call it, but not much else was prepared beyond this. It sounds like an over-stuffed combination of elements, but if anyone could have made it work, it's Robert Holmes.
