History Franchise / DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse

* ''Recall UNIT: The Great T-Bag Mystery'', a 1984 stage play featuring Mike Yates, John Benton and a single Dalek, but not the Doctor or any of his companions. It was written by Yates' actor Richard Franklin and performed during that year's edition of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. And no, it has nothing to do with ''Series/TBag''.

* ''TabletopGame/DoctorWhoAdventuresInTimeAndSpace'': An RPG from Creator/Cubicle7 that was first published in winter 2009, followed by a line of supplements.

** The unique version of the Master who provided the villainy in one Eighth Doctor arc of the ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' comic was black, in contrast to all the TV incarnations of the character at the time being white.

* RealWorldEpisode: The ''DWM'' comic "TV Action!" (the title referencing a comics magazine in which early ''Doctor Who'' strips had appeared) has the Eighth Doctor and companion Izzy following a villain "into our world", ending up in the BBC studios where Creator/TomBaker himself distracts the villain, allowing the heroes to save the day.

** ''Doctor Who: The Edge of Time'': A VR Adventure Game. A strange new enemy is infecting all of Time & Space at once and the Thirteenth Doctor is separated from the TARDIS. You, armed with the Sonic Screwdriver and the TARDIS, must race to find the Doctor and set this whole mess right, facing against a large section of the RoguesGallery in the process.
** ''Doctor Who: The Edge of Reality'': A sequel to ''Edge of Time'' starring the Thirteenth and Tenth Doctors, with Creator/DavidTennant reprising his role as the latter.

* [[ComicBook/DoctorWhoTitan Titan Doctor Who comics]]: After IDW lost the US ''Doctor Who'' comics license, Titan Books, previously known mostly for publishing ''[[ComicBook/TwoThousandAD 2000 AD]]'' strip collections, were the next recipients. Having previously published three separate ongoing series featuring the Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors, with both Ten and Eleven having original companions, they're now doing a single ongoing featuring the Thirteenth Doctor. They also do miniseries featuring the previous Doctors, including the first full Ninth Doctor comic story since his era originally ended, released to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the revival. This was then expanded into a Ninth Doctor ongoing series. All the comics are combined into two anthologies for UK consumption: ''Doctor Who Comic'', which launched in February 2015 (initially featuring all three on-going titles, later covering the Eleventh and Twelfth Doctor comics and ''Four Doctors''), and ''Tales From the TARDIS'' (featuring the later Tenth Doctor comics and the other miniseries).

* ''ComicBook/{{Lytton}}'': A 2020 comic miniseries by Creator/EricSaward and artist Barry Renshaw about Saward's [[PrivateMilitaryContractors interstellar mercenary]] character Lytton from "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS21E4ResurrectionOfTheDaleks Resurrection of the Daleks]]" and "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS22E1AttackOfTheCybermen Attack of the Cybermen]]".

* ''TabletopGame/TimeLord'', a second RPG in the 90s Virgin Publishing (the publishers of the New and Missing Adventures lines of novels).
* ''TabletopGame/DoctorWhoAdventuresInTimeAndSpace'' An RPG from Creator/Cubicle7 that was first published in winter 2009, followed by a line of supplements.

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Every so often, a writer will decide to take on one of the TV series' more notorious joke villains and show them as genuinely dangerous. Some particularly glaring examples include [[spoiler:the Voord]] in ''ComicBook/DoctorWhoFourDoctors'', the ineffectual Donald Sumpter incarnation of Rassilon in ''ComicBook/DoctorWhoSupremacyOfTheCybermen'', the Monk '''twice''' in different canons in long-term story arcs in the Literature/DoctorWhoNewAdventures and AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho, the Krotons in the Literature/EighthDoctorAdventures novel ''Alien Bodies'', and the Nimon in the Big Finish story ''Seasons of Fear''. ''ComicBook/DoctorWhoTheLostDimension'' outright parodied this in the Fourth Doctor's issue, in which the breakdown of the multiverse leads to the Fourth Doctor encountering alternate-universe versions of the Quarks, the Krotons, and the Ogrons, all of whom have become the dominent culture in their universes, which apparently don't have the Daleks.

* ''The Trial of Davros'', an unofficial production, performed twice (in 1993 and 2005), with the second performance being supported by both the BBC and Terry Nation's Estate. It features an AlternateHistory in which Davros was taken out of time by the Time Lords at the end of Genesis of the Daleks and put on trial. Peter Myles reprised his role as Nyder in both performances, while Davros was played by Creator/MichaelWisher in the first one, and by Terry Molloy in the second one. The second one also fatured Michael Wisher's son Andrew as one of the prosecutors.

** ''Campaign'': A novel by Jim Mortimore (he of Big Finish's [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho054TheNaturalHistoryOfFear "The Natural History Of Fear"]]), originally commissioned by the BBC but rejected due to being ''completely insane''. The book was instead released by Mortimore as a [[http://doctorwho.org.nz/archive/campaign/ fanzine]], violating the BBC's copyright, and ended up being well-loved by fans and writers alike and influencing a number of later stories.

* Creator/MarvelComics: Marvel UK were the original publishers of DWM from 1979 to 1995, and put out a few graphic novels reprinting DWM stories. Marvel US published a ''Doctor Who'' ongoing comic, reprinting the Fourth and Fifth Doctors' DWM comics from the beginning.

** "Evening's Empire": A comic written by former script editor Andrew Cartmel starring the Seventh Doctor and Ace. Originally a DWM story which suffered extreme schedule slip after Part 1, it was eventually put out as a ''Doctor Who Classic Comics'' special (''Classic Comics'' being a DWM spinoff), and subsequently collected in the Seventh Doctor DWM TPB ''Evening's Empire''.

* ''The Trial of Davros'', an unofficial production, performed twice (in 1993 and 2005), with the second performance being supported by both the BBC and Terry Nation's Estate. It features an AlternateHistory in which Davros was taken out of time by the Time Lords at the end of Genesis of the Daleks and put on trial. Peter Myles reprised his role as Nyder in both performances, while Davros was played by Michael Wisher in the first one, and by Terry Molloy in the second one. The second one also fatured Michael Wisher's son Andrew as one of the prosecutors.

[[folder: Television]]

* ''ComicBook/{{Lytton}}'': A 2020 comic miniseries by Eric Saward and artist Barry Renshaw about Saward's [[PrivateMilitaryContractors interstellar mercenary]] character Lytton from "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS21E4ResurrectionOfTheDaleks Resurrection of the Daleks]]" and "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS22E1AttackOfTheCybermen Attack of the Cybermen]]".

* ''Literature/DoctorWhoNovelisations'': By Target. During the 70s and 80s, in the days before video took off, these were '''the''' way to catch up on previous ''Doctor Who'' stories. They retold (and frequently expanded on) the stories on TV, and several of them are highly acclaimed. Usually also available as audiobooks, read by the TV series actor(s). Almost every story from the classic series got a novelisation, with the TV Movie's being done by BBC Books; the five that didn't get one ("The Pirate Planet", "City of Death", "Shada", "Resurrection of the Daleks" and "Revelation of the Daleks") received fan novelisations courtesy of the New Zealand Doctor Who Fan Club. (If you noticed that three of the five are Douglas Adams stories, you're right. Adams wouldn't allow others to novelise his scripts, and - notorious procrastinator that he was - never did them himself. Also, with ''Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'' having taken off in the meantime, Target Books was no longer able to afford the advances he commanded.) "Shada" eventually received an official novelisation by BBC Books in 2012, written by Gareth Roberts. "City of Death" also received a BBC novelisation in 2015; initially it was announced that it would again be by Roberts, but it was eventually written by ''Torchwood'' writer James Goss. A novelisation of "The Pirate Planet" by Goss came out in 2017, followed by his novelisation of another Adams-written work - the never-produced film ''Doctor Who and the Krikkitmen'' - in 2018. Novelisations of the other two "missing" stories, by their original writer Eric Saward, were finally published in 2019. The first full novelisations of stories from the revival series were released in 2018: "Rose", written by Creator/RussellTDavies, "The Christmas Invasion", written by Jenny Colgan, "The Day of the Doctor", written by Creator/StevenMoffat, and "Twice Upon a Time", written by Creator/PaulCornell.

* ''Literature/DoctorWhoNewAdventures'': Created after the show was cancelled, as an official continuation of the adventures of the Seventh Doctor and, initially, Ace. Also known as "Virgin New Adventures", after their publisher. Choosing to aim for an audience of 25 and up fans and readers of ScienceFiction (versus targeting a younger, less reverent demographic, as they also considered), they made both the Doctor and the tone of the entire franchise DarkerAndEdgier. They also made the stories a bit harder on the MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness. The novels (more because of the creativity of the fans-turned-authors RunningTheAsylum than by ExecutiveMeddling) riffed over each other's contributions. Future ShowRunner Creator/RussellTDavies contributed one of the novels, ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoNewAdventuresDamagedGoods Damaged Goods]]''. Other writers for the New Adventures would later write for the 2005 revival series. The penultimate New Adventures novel featuring the Doctor, ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoNewAdventuresLungbarrow Lungbarrow]]'' by Creator/MarcPlatt, also went into the Doctor's secret BackStory, hinted about onscreen. After Virgin lost the licence, they decided they'd accumulated enough world-building to continue without him, and continued for two more years to release "New Adventures" novels (without the "Doctor Who") featuring characters original to the series; in particular, the series shifted its focus to:

* ''Doctor Who and the Daleks'' sweet cigarettes: A range of ''Doctor Who'' sweet cigarettes from 1964 (sweets in the shape of cigarettes, a British tradition for many years until they were banned for encouraging kids to smoke) included trading cards that told a surprisingly involved story, featuring a team-up between the Daleks and the Voord! The "Doctor Who" who appears has longish, dark hair and doesn't look exactly like any actor to play the role, although he '''may''' be interpreted as a younger First Doctor. The series is currently available as a special feature on the DVD issue of "The Keys of Marinus".

* Prime Computer: This American business computer manufacturer screened adverts [[{{Japandering}} in Australia and New Zealand]] at the turn of the 1980s, featuring Creator/TomBaker and Lalla Ward in character as the Fourth Doctor and Romana in brief skits. They are chiefly notorious among fans for the fourth and final advert, which overtly suggested a fully romantic relationship between the two characters. (This may have been a fourth-wall-breaking joke about the real-world marriage of the actors.) They are officially included on the DVD of "Destiny of the Daleks" and on the Season 18 Blu-Ray box set. These were the only time that a TV advert has actually featured the Doctor in character, although Creator/JonPertwee once did a LawyerFriendlyCameo in a British ad for Vodafone.

* AliensAndMonsters: Depending on the medium, these can get ''very'' outlandish, and often a lot more alien than the TV series (specifically, its budget) would allow for.

* ''Time Fracture'', a live "immersive experience" event by Immersive Anywhere (currently scheduled for May 2021, pandemic permitting)

* ''ComicStrip/TheDalekChronicles''. This comic ran in the [[{{UsefulNotes/Supermarionation}} Gerry Anderson]]-linked anthology title ''TV Century 21'' from 1965 to 1967, featuring the Daleks in general and the Emperor Dalek in particular as the {{Villain Protagonist}}s, killing and destroying everything in sight. This strip owed its existence to the fact that Creator/TerryNation personally owned the copyright in the Daleks and initially licensed them separately. For its time it was distinctly DarkerAndEdgier than the main ''Doctor Who'' strip, and was partially written by the first script editor of ''Doctor Who'', David Whitaker. It has a much higher reputation among fans than the early ''Doctor Who'' strips, and parts of its content undoubtedly influenced plots and Dalek characterisation and tech in later TV stories. Examples include the Emperor Dalek and, of course, the storyline about the nonconformist (though still violent) hippy Dalek who decided to go against the Emperor and defend pretty things -- to the death! (The latter storyline appeared, minus the silliness, in the television story "The Evil of the Daleks".) The later ones have some excellent artwork by Ron Turner.

** ''The Companions of Doctor Who'': A short-lived series of Target novels featuring [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin companions without the Doctor]]. After original novels featuring Turlough and Harry Sullivan (the latter written by Sullivan's actor Ian Marter), it fizzled out with a novelisation of ''K-9 and Company''.

** "[[Recap/DoctorWho2005RBSAttackOfTheGraske Attack Of The Graske]]": An interactive BBC Red Button special starring the Tenth Doctor.

* TheDarkTimes:

[[Recap/DoctorWho2006CSTheRunawayBride Racnoss]], [[Recap/DoctorWhoS7E1SpearheadfromSpace Nestene]].
