Thanks to the TARDIS wiki, we have hi-res scans of Clive's Doctor photos from Robert Hack's illustrated edition of RTD's novelisation of "Rose." We can see that there are more incarnations illustrated than there included in the text. As well as the first thirteen (numbered) Doctors, the wiki lists the Fourteenth and Fugitive Doctors, but I can't see them there (there's the hair of one who could be either Ten or Fourteen, but it's not clear).
Clearly visible, though, are the Fifteenth Doctor, and the two Doctors RTD invented for the novelisation - a black woman with a flaming sword and a child in a wheelchair with K9. At the time the book originally came out it was generally assumed these were future incarnations, but they could be past lives before the First Doctor.
Most excitingly, though, are the two Morbius Doctors included. On the first selection, there's a sideways-sitting picture of the George Gallaccio Doctor (aka Doctor Crocus) and an upside-down picture of the Douglas Camfield Doctor.
I'm also intrigued by the picture beneath the snaps of the Third Doctor and the Whomobile and the Eighth Doctor. It's probably supposed to be the Third Doctor and the Brigadier, judging by the filly cuffs and 'tache respectively. It doesn't really look like either of them, though. (The soldier looks more like Captain Mainwaring from "Dad's Army!")

Saw that you read the Waters of Mars novelization and idk if you’ve already read it and I don’t know how it compares since I’ve read neither, but I needed to know if you knew that there’s a time lord victorious duology (part of a larger multimedia event but I just read the comics and I’m trying to find time to read the books)
I haven't read the Time Lord Victorious stuff, or listened, or anything. I want to, though, they're definitely on my list of the stuff I want to check out, though.
I do think The Waters of Mars novelisation was brilliant. I really do like how they could show off more of Ten's mental state as he... had his whole moment (moment, get it?). I think it was great, I do slightly think they could've done more, but that's because I read the Dalek novelisation which is... it's phenomenal, read it, read it if you like the Time Lord Victorious stuff, because... arhgrhhjr shaking it shaking it.
Anyway, I knew about the audios but did not know about the books or comics, so I'm going to see if I can check them out. D
How did you find the comics? Did you like 'em? I haven't read a single Doctor Who comic I should really get on that.

Quotes from the novelisation
So the Target novelisation is out! Highly recommend it, an extremely good time that somehow gives us a ton of backstory on Rogue while also still leaving things very open for fic.
A selection of quotes I highlighted on my way through:
The Doctor being horrendously into Rogue
The Doctor was now walking in the gardens with Rogue beside him, his new favourite brooding stranger.
He looked back at Rogue, walking, brooding (of course), and had to remind himself that this was an interrogation, not a date.
Sure, the Doctor couldn’t deny, Rogue was incredibly handsome.
The Doctor was suddenly very conscious that their hands were almost touching.
Rogue grabbed the Doctor’s arm and moved him with ease to the middle of the small metal pieces. ‘Stand there.’ The bounty hunter’s strong, the Doctor thought. Confirmed.
The Doctor could already feel people starting to turn and whisper but his focus wasn’t on that. All he was thinking about was Rogue. Rogue’s hand on his shoulder, his chest. Rogue’s eyes locked with his as the pair of them turned and twirled across the floor.
More below the cut: some of these get very spoilery including for the very end of the book, so don't click if you don't want to know.
Rogue being horrendously into the Doctor
His gorgeous brown eyes beamed up at Rogue from the middle of the crowd. For the first time in a long time, Rogue felt that jolt of electricity when you meet that person. That next person who might be the one to change your life.
the main thing that impressed him was how stylish it all was. How well placed and how welcoming. Rogue had only known the Doctor for one night, but it was clear this ship was perfectly made for the person who travelled in it.
‘I know.’ Rogue smiled at the kind, brilliant, amazing man in front of him.
Rogue felt another jolt of that electricity as their arms almost touched.
He wondered how long he would have with this new and wonderful stranger, and then also why he was troubling himself with the thought at all.
He’d not been asking the Doctor for marriage, but for some simple commitment. A sign he should stay longer than this one adventure. To see those worlds he’d promised. At least for a little while. Now he couldn’t stop wondering how much of their connection was real and how much had been for show.
Socially anxious king
It was then that Rogue emotionally left his body and started panicking a good 50 feet above the scene playing out below.
‘So, have you known the Duchess long?’ It was here that Rogue hoped the Doctor was his bounty because his small talk game was not his best quality.
Usually, the imaginary conversations Rogue had with [Art] were when he was alone in the ship but in moments of crisis sometimes, he would imagine him, a life raft in a sea of social interaction nightmares.
‘Can’t I storm off alone?’ said Rogue. ‘I would rather not talk in front of this many people.’
I had to stop and compose myself for a minute
‘Don’t blame me! De Lacaille chose them! Great astronomer, bad with names.’ Then he smiled cheekily. ‘But if it’s romance you’re after? He also named those stars there the pump, the chisel and Norma.’ Okay, he was flirting now. Ruby would be furious with him if this silly side quest was what got him killed.
‘Not what I’m after,’ replied Rogue, his tone back to matter-of-fact but his face blushing a little.
["the pump"]
**
Rogue had met many dreamers and magicians in his travels. It was surprising how many had bounties on their heads; he immediately recalled quite a complicated winter with Houdini.
[...WHAT. Was this the winter after the Doctor's long hot summer?? What a year Houdini had.]
**
On the banks of the pond, the pair of them dragged themselves out. Rogue’s shirt was stuck to his body; the Doctor’s was the same. They were both drenched through. They looked at each other and laughed. ‘Okay, Ruby was right, this is a bit Mr Darcy.’
[I know the odds of this having been filmed are almost zero, nobody's letting Jonathan risk his voice jumping into a pond in Britain at night in May, but #releasetheherroncut]
**
[Rogue imagines a letter in which his dead love Art gives a potential new relationship his blessing] Please give him a hug from me and do not name a child or dog in my memory when you move in together. A cactus is fine, though. [Almost put this in 'Rogue is horrendously into him' but the 'WHEN you move in together' had me putting the book down for a second. Also that Rogue is contemplating what they should or should not name their future dog OR CHILD.]
Just pure romance
[on seeing the ship] Oh, Rogue, he thought. What happened, love?
**
Rogue just stared in awe, taking in the Doctor, all of them. ‘You’re beautiful,’ he said.
**
Rogue slowly opened his arms, and the Doctor fell into them and sobbed. ‘I’m sorry,’ Rogue said over and over.
**
Rogue looked into the Doctor’s eyes and knew that he would never stop caring. Could never stop wanting to help, to fight, to go on. That was who he was. The Doctor let go of Rogue’s hand and climbed in through the window, and Rogue did what he knew he would do for ever.
Follow him.
**
Then he stepped forward and wrapped the Doctor in his arms and kissed him. It was a soft, passionate kiss, full of promise. The moment was tender. Romantic. It was theirs.
**
As he fell, his mind had one, clear thought. Worth every second.
**
The Doctor just kept smiling, keeping his eyes on the sky. ‘At least we got to live and love together a bit. Exist.’
**
Of all the timelines they could both have inhabited, Rogue was grateful that their eyes had met on this one. What a great surprise that had been from the universe. Yes, right now, he was lonely, but time wasn’t linear, and this was his favourite thing about it. Rogue was sitting in this cave, but he was also walking with the Doctor in the garden, he was laughing with Art in the Yossarian, he was falling from a building, he was running from one memory of his life to another. All at once.
Rogue was in the Doctor’s arms, spinning around and around, for ever.

The Doctor: Everywhere I go I see this woman's face. Kate: Maybe she fell into your timestream, like what happened with Clara. The Doctor: She told you about that? Kate: More or less. She talked in her sleep. The Doctor: Right. The Doctor: The Doctor: The Doctor: Hold on!
#doctor who#dw#the doctor#kate lethbridge stewart#clara oswald#fifteenth doctor#clara thought about asking kate out in the tdotd novelisation#so like to think they hooked up at some point#probably had a casual thing going on during season 9
