Doctor Who: 10 Amazing TV Show Crossovers Fans Want To See

Because one television universe is not enough for the titular Time Lord

The beauty of being the proud owner of a Type 40 TARDIS is the joy of being able to travel anywhere throughout time and space. Of course, the main benefit is the ability to avoid being late – which The Doctor often is – keep out of danger – which The Doctor often doesn’t – and allows the owner the opportunity to see just about anything they choose.

Whilst not strictly one of the laws of TARDIS travel, it has also been known for The Doctor to travel to alternate universes, which often leads to discussion about which other TV shows it would be entertaining for The Doctor to visit. In some cases, it would be fun just to see The Doctor interact with some equally intelligent individuals, whilst in others everyones favourite Time Lord would be of genuine use when trying to deal with some of the problems faced in these alternative realities.

Of course, The Doctor wouldn’t fit just anywhere – it’s unlikely he’d make a particularly good pundit for Sky’s Premier League coverage, or as an analyst for Monday Night Football over in the States, but there are a number of shows in which his inclusion could well be the catalyst for some interesting developments and these are just ten of them.

10. The Thick Of It

Alright, so who wouldn’t want to see the Twelfth Doctor come face to face with Malcolm Tucker? His reaction to the language alone would be entertaining enough to get any fan through an hour of televisual delight. Of course, The Doctor being a man of intelligence would likely find himself at odds with the profanity-laden method of communication chosen by the Government spin doctor.

The most recent series of Doctor Who has already included subtle hints that The Doctor recognises the face with which he has found himself, and Stephen Moffat has already made mention that there is an idea in place as to why there are multiple characters in the Whoniverse who have the very same likeness to our dear number Twelve. Adding another in the form of the expletive-wielding Tucker is unlikely to change that story.

Imagine the scene - The Doctor lands his TARDIS outside Ten Downing Street to deal with a rumoured Alien incursion in which MP's have been replaced by Zygons. The Doctor and Tucker would have to work together to defeat the evil invaders, whilst also trying to deal with the potential fall out that would come from the citizens of the United Kingdom finding out that dodgy expenses are not the only thing that some MP's are hiding. In the end, The Doctor would fly away in his TARDIS, leaving Malcolm Tucker to spin this very public scandal.

"F*cking, F*ck me" indeed, Malcolm.
