A Country Doctor is a Doctor Who story

A strange set of circumstances for a group of people, a Doctor, and a companion named Rosa. Some weirdness due to being the first Doctor Who story every written, but still.

  • Must be a Moffat story given the horror elements.

In The Castle, the "K" in the protagonist's name stands for Klamm

I haven't come across this interpretation either on Wikipedia or here, which kind of surprises me, because it seems the most obvious one.

  • It's a believable theory, but not the most obvious one. Both in The Castle and The Trial, the "K"-named protagonist is pretty much an Author Avatar, so the "obvious" theory is that K stands for Kafka.

If finished, The Castle, would have made a point about not letting your ambitious obscure other paths to happiness

Despite the focus of The Castle is the protagonists' attempt to reach said Castle and cement his position, a very large portion of the text details his relationship to Frieda. Said relationship is destroyed by his quest, and if Kafka had finished the novel that might have been discussed.
