The character of the Minister of Chance was first introduced in the 2001 ''Series/DoctorWho'' webcast ''WebAnimation/DeathComesToTime.'' In 2013, he returned in a six-part podcast, played by Julian Wadham instead of Stephen Fry this time. Unlike ''Death Comes to Time,'' which is explicitly set in some version of the Doctor Who Expanded Universe, any connection between ''The Minister of Chance'' and that continuity is oblique at best.

Unlike ''Death Comes to Time,'' which is explicitly set in some version of the Doctor Who Expanded Universe, any connection between ''The Minister of Chance'' and that continuity is oblique at best.
Despite being entirely crowdfunded, it has attracted an impressive cast (including former Doctors Creator/SylvesterMcCoy and Creator/PaulMcGann) and won a Parsec award for best short-form audio drama. A short film version of the prologue episode is currently in post-production, with a feature-length adaptation of the whole series proposed as the next step.

* AGodAmI: [[spoiler:General Lord Rathen.]]
* ActionGirl: Kitty, who looks like a breakable young girl but astonishes everyone with her great strength. Usually by kicking their heads in.
* {{Ambadassador}}: Durian's EstablishingCharacterMoment.
* AnotherDimension: The Minister and people like him can move between worlds and even take humans like Kitty with them.
* BookBurning: By the Sezians, as part of the campaign to impose their magic-based belief system on Tanto.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The Minister, the Horseman and the Sage of the Waves.
* FriendToAllChildren: Subverted with Durian, whose playful teasing of the young Tanto princess is heart-meltingly sweet - right up until his true colours are revealed. All the more chilling that he keeps chatting to her in the same playful way moments after putting his EvilPlan into action.
* MagicFromTechnology: Quite possibly. ClarkesThirdLaw is explored through the reality warping powers of the Minister's people, but clear answers as to how exactly it all works are never forthcoming.
* OnlyOneName: Sunflower, which she freely admits is a pseudonym.
* PortalDoor: Opened by the Minister and the Horseman in order to move between worlds.
* RealityWarper: The Minister, his people, and [[spoiler:General Lord Rathen]].
* RebelLeader: Sunflower.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Durian, who is so popular and charming that the Minister concludes it can only be the result of superhuman powers.
