Okay Whovians. Our family has been sitting around and thanks to Rebecca I think we figured out the broad strokes of the new RTD Doctor Who series and it ties directly into the Second Doctor story arc THE MIND ROBBER. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Min... - ThreadSky

Love this theory. I need to watch it all with this in mind. It feels like a lot of it really works.

When Donna spilled coffee on the Tardis console the Tardis malfunctioned (like in episode 1 of the Mind Robber) which sent them outside the “real” universe into the universe of mythical beings like the Toymaker and the Maestro. Call it the Mavity Universe…

Confronting the Doctor the Toymaker refers to the fact that he defeated the Master and sealed him in a gold tooth. But what if the Master he’s referring to isn’t the Master we think? It’s the Master from the Mind Robber universe?

That Master is a human storyteller abducted from Earth whose writing shapes the reality of his universe using the power of unseen (presumably god-like) beings. They were after the 2nd Doctor to replace him as the new Master…

At the end of THE GIGGLE we see a woman’s hand pick up the gold tooth left behind by the Toymaker. We think that’s Mrs. Flood.

So @perchancetodraw.bsky.social suggested every episode we’ve seen has been based on children’s stories (THE WELL for example being an “Aliss” Through the Looking Glass/Down the rabbit hole story)…

So yeah. Bigeneration is a myth, but myths work fine in fictional universes. Everything since WILD BLUE YONDER has existed outside the “real” universe in the Mavity Universe. In the end somehow Ncuti’s Doctor will escape and Tennant’s Doctor- the original- will remain behind to be the (other) Master
