Fan Casting What If Doctor Who Wasn't Axed? - The World of Doctor Who (2023)

A spin-off that was shrouded in mystery until the premiere of The Other World, where it was revealed that Adjoa Andoh (who played the Fifteenth Doctor) was playing a new incarnation of The Toymaker. It was eventually announced that she would be hosting this experimental spin-off, which was a documentary but also a narrative about the different aspects of Doctor Who. It was to tie into the 60th anniversary celebration. It was created by Pete McTighe and it was insisted that there would be no clips used from the show, as it was seen as lazy, and this was not a clip show. There were many elements used to showcase the show like body doubles with deepfake technology, props, and through other various means. The episodes would be surrounding a different topic and aspect of the show. The title sequence showed body doubles dressed as each Doctor with the credits rolling. The series was released weekly on Paramount+ and BBC One, with the final episode premiering on the 60th anniversary itself, November 23. The episodes are: The Doctor, The Companion, The Daleks, The Master, The Monsters, Gallifrey, The Earth and The Anniversaries.
