What If.... William Hartnell had never left Doctor Who?

"Shoestring. Taggart. Spender, Bergerac, Morse. What does that say to you about regional detective series’?"
"There’s too many of them?"
"That’s one way of looking at it. Another way of looking at it is, ‘people like them - let’s make more of them’!" 

And so it is with Doctor Who fiction. Come with us, into another bleeding spin-off Universe. Where the birds fly backwards and Margaret Beckett is attractive. Come with us into a weird world where Dr Who never regenerated. Where William Hartnell got Innes Lloyd drunk one night in 1966 and made him sign a new 50 year contract to keep him as lead man on Doctor Who for the next half century. Where instead of deciding to continue tramping round the galaxy righting wrongs, our intrepid Time Lord simply got more senile instead. THIS is that world.

Over the next few weeks, and via the use of a special machine for plundering parallel Universes, we'll be hauling back some of the intrepid Doctor Who's never-had post-1966 adventures for YOUR entertainment. And while, sadly, as in our Universe, all the good Doctors adventures were brutally chucked in the furnace just after transmission, we can share with you some of the special novelisations written by alternate-dimension seventies script writer Nerys Fanny and other Dr Who writers that almost were.

After her successful adaption of the classic "Doctor Who and the Daleks", Nerry went on to pen over seven hundred books chronicling the good Doctors adventures, each one a 12 page epic with not a big word in sight. It's thanks to these and others that we in our Universe can now take a peak at what might have happened had Doctor Who become... Doctor Who:1a!
