For any Whovian, knowing the Doctor's definitive, accurate timeline is a bit of an unachievable ideal. The Doctor's life and adventures have been shown on TV, radio and also in books, so its inevitable that there are going to be some discrepancies about the chronology of the Doctor. Inconsistencies aside, the time between the Doctor Who TV series being originally discontinued in 1989 and it being revived in 2005 created a big gap in the Doctor's life which was never properly documented; the Time War years. From the 2005 series to now, this time is still the only substantial gap in the Doctor's life that we have not seen, except the pre-'Doctor' years. If the War Doctor's adventures and struggles were given their own airtime, we would finally be able to properly bridge the gaps in the Doctor's life. There will still be gaps, that's unavoidable, but our understanding of the Doctor's timeline will look a lot more like the image above. We will then be able to watch the Doctor's adventures from the 1st Doctor all the way through to the current 14th Doctor (13th regeneration, 13th body, 14th life!). I would love to see a warmongering version of the Doctor - an incarnation of the Doctor that is darker, more vicious and less forgiving. Doctor Who is slowing shedding its reputation for having awful alien costumes and budget CGI by moving towards the kinds of cinematography and visual effects that are befitting for an accessible Sci-fi epic franchise. Feel free to share your views on a War Doctor/ Time War spin off in the comments below.
My life is an odd blend of the real and surreal. By day I study law but by night I live my life vicariously through science fiction and fantasy, as a Whovian, gamer and writer.
