Fan CastingWhat If Doctor Who Wasn't Axed? - The Sixteenth Doctor [Part 3] (2023)

The Other World was the final serial of season 56 and it was the one shrouded with the most mystery outside of David Renwick coming back once again and helming the serial. Fans didn't even know the name for the longest while. Many concluded that it would most likely take place on Earth, while other such theories like Sammy Thompson or Rosalyn Cline returning were false. He was simply there to overlook the overarching series but have other writers write the specific episode like with how he worked on the series back in the late 90s and early 2000s. He also didn't want too much nostalgia baiting with this story and ultimately decided to have some slight touches towards the Doctor's past adventures, but not too much of a reliance on them. Viv Kalanak was brought back, from her appearance in Season 53, because Renwick enjoyed her character and wanted to work with Jaye Griffiths. Renwick also decided that UNIT would not be brought back after being disassembled in The Upgrade From Tomorrow, but evolve into something entirely different. The Other World would take the place of 'Doctor Who' in the opening title sequence. The episodes are: Enigma, The Sky Above, Species 001, The End of Humanity, Gambit, and The Light of the Moon.
