[QUOTE="Jock Ewing Fan, post: 408649, member: 40536"] Terrance Dicks did extensive work on the series for Troughton, Pertwee and TBaker. He was a major influence on the narrative and continuity. But he never would have been so arrogant, as to overtly ignore the established history/narrative, which would disrespect the work of so many producers, directors, writers, actors and other crew. What needs to be realized is that there is plenty of space to fill in the blanks, so to speak. There can be new perspectives and more detail. But there can not be blatant contradictions to the narrative, a la Chibnall's false origin story. Otherwise, anything goes, and it is all meaningless. It should also be noted that the fans (pre- Chibnall, not that many new ones arrived while millions walked away) are the ones who kept the series visible during the wilderness years (1990-2004) by supporting the merchandising (books, videos, etc) and operating fan sites and creating fan made projects There would be no Doctor Who today without that support [/QUOTE]
