Donna's ability to miss everything has struck again. She is out-of-office and the world is ending. Donna, you work for unit now. How does this keep happening.

In order for someone to be hired in UNIT they need to have a very gay way of walking.

Could you imagine being in the same room as the unliving acolyte of the ancient martian god of death blowing its dust of death on you and the only thing on your mind before you crumble is to 🎶put a lil dirt under your pillow for the dirtman🎶?

The Unified Intelligence Taskforce Official Catalogue – Detailing the Known Incarnations of the Renegade Time Lord Known as the Doctor.

(My attempt to explain the In Universe origin for the Doctor Numbering that makes sense)

General interaction protocol: Unless a specific placement in the life of a particular incarnation is evident, protocol is to assume the incarnation only has the knowledge of their predecessors life, not any encounters they themselves may have had with UNIT, unless they make specific reference to prior encounters without prompting. Encounters referenced that do not correlate to the known set of UNIT encounters with the Doctor are to be catalogued in the ‘Future Encounters’ database, subject to internal review.

The Numbered Roster, Incarnations Who Work Alongside UNIT

The First Doctor

First Official Encounter: UNIT Year 6 (Subject to Dating Protocol), Omega Incident

Important Interaction Notes: This incarnation is described as the First based on the Omega Incident and Death Zone incident, wherein this life is the earliest one present in both locations. The direct predecessor of the incarnation who first encountered UNIT, interactions with this version of the Doctor should be kept to a minimum as per the temporal protocols.

The Second Doctor

First Official Encounter: UNIT Year -4 (Subject to Dating Protocol), London Incident

Important Interaction Notes: This incarnation is the first to interact with UNIT, doing so during UNIT Year 1, The First Cyberman Incursion. As such it is to be assumed that this incarnation is unaware of UNIT or its operations unless they make specific reference to it themselves. The exception to this is encounters with a grey haired, older looking iteration, which are to be catalogued separately and not to be mentioned to future incarnations either.

The Third Doctor

First Official Encounter: UNIT Year 1, First Auton Invasion

Important Interaction Notes: As this incarnation was stranded working for UNIT until the Omega Incident, it is reasonable the majority of the time to assume any further encounters with this incarnation involve a version who is already aware of these events.

The Fourth Doctor

First Official Encounter: UNIT Year 8, K1 Incident

Important Interaction Notes: As this incarnation was born within UNIT and travelled with Sarah Jane Smith for his early life, it is reasonable to assume they are familiar with the events of the K1 Incident, First Zygon Invasion and the Krynoid Incident.

The Fifth Doctor

First Official Encounter: 1980, Discovery of the TARDIS in Pompeii

Important Interaction Notes: None to report

The Sixth Doctor

First Official Encounter: 1983, Derbyshire

Important Interaction Notes: None to report

The Seventh Doctor

First Official Encounter: 1997, Camelot Incident

Important Interaction Notes: This incarnation has been heavily involved in UNITs past prior to his first official encounter, specifically in UNIT Year 8, The Vardan Incident, among others.

The Eighth Doctor

First Official Encounter: 2003, Malebolgia Incident

Important Interaction Notes: There is a large period in which this incarnation lived on Earth (first reported in the late 19th Century until the early 21st), during this period they possessed amnesia and are to be treated as a named incarnation. (Specifically “The Amnesiac Doctor”)

The War Doctor

First Official Encounter: 2013, Operation Double

Important Interaction Notes: This incarnation, despite being chronologically between the Eighth and Ninth, was not catalogued until years later and is specially numbered as they are not to be mentioned to the subsequent three incarnations due to repressed trauma from an event known as the ‘Last Great Time War’.

The Ninth Doctor (Previously “Northern Doctor” before identification)

First Official Encounter: UNIT Year 8, Albion Defence Investigation

Important Interaction Notes: Avoid bringing up the events of the ‘Last Great Time War’.

The Tenth Doctor

First Official Encounter: 2006, Sycorax Incident

Important Interaction Notes: Do not confuse this incarnation with the ‘Fourteenth Doctor’ (First encountered 2023, The Giggle). Take extra care determining the incarnation in question and categorise as appropriate in the ‘Post-Giggle 10/14 Re-Categorisation Database’.

The Eleventh Doctor

First Official Encounter: 2011, Goruda Investigation

Important Interaction Notes: Avoid mentioning events still present in the ‘Post-Giggle 10/14 Re-Categorisation Database’. Also avoid alluding to future incarnations outright as this one believes himself to be the final one.

The Twelfth Doctor

First Official Encounter: 2014, Fracture Incident

Important Interaction Notes: Avoid mentioning events still present in the ‘Post-Giggle 10/14 Re-Categorisation Database’.

The Thirteenth Doctor

First Official Encounter: 2021, Three Minute Eclipse

Important Interaction Notes: Avoid mentioning events still present in the ‘Post-Giggle 10/14 Re-Categorisation Database’. First official encounter was during the 2017-2021 UNIT Shutdown caused by the infiltration of the organisation by an alien agent. As a result, care is to be taken regarding future encounters with this incarnation to avoid revealing the nature of said shutdown.

The Fourteenth Doctor

First Official Encounter: 2023, November 2023 UFO Incident

Important Interaction Notes: This incarnations entire life up to the events of ‘The Giggle’ is known and catalogued by testimony. Post-“Giggle Events” should be catalogued separately under the “Bigenerated Doctor” after being first placed into the ‘Post-Giggle 10/14 Re-Categorisation Database’.

The Fifteenth Doctor

First Official Encounter: 2023, The Giggle

Important Interaction Notes: Do not assume this incarnation is familiar with events that happen to the post-‘The Giggle’ Fourteenth Doctor until such a theory has been adequately tested.

Non-Numbered Incarnations of Unknown Placement

The “Bearded Doctor”

First Official Encounter: Prior to 1991 (Incident Report Lost)

Important Interaction Notes: Placement unknown, presumed to postdate the First through Eighth Doctors but that cannot be assumed.

in preparation for the upcoming 60th anniversary of Doctor Who, I had some fun working on most of the UNIT logo that have been used within the history of the show. Featuring the updated version of my rendition of the 2023 logo, modified thanks to the latest footage from the trailers.

[rassilontdavros]

I suppose the fact that the UN took 36 years to catch wind of UNIT is a testament to how much Davies raised the show's profile.

have you ever wondered why UNIT was renamed from "United Nations Intelligence Taskforce" to "Unified Intelligence Taskforce" in New Who? this is why.

Well, we're the Unified Intelligence Taskforce, created to investigate the extraterrestrial and, more and more, the supernatural. Things seem to be turning that way these days.

[dalekofchaos]

Didn't have enough room for it, but the Paternoster Gang, so if you want that, just reply or reblog with that option

Context

U.NI.IT.

the Unified Intelligence Taskforce. The Power of the Doctor set up a new UNIT that recruited some of the Doctor's former companions so it feels like there's fertile ground for a show about who protects modern-day Earth when the Doctor's not available. An episodic structure would fit a UNIT show well, allowing it to shift from espionage thriller, to alien invasion, to weird science, like The X-Files.

An alternative UNIT show could follow in the footsteps of Star Trek: Lower Decks by focusing on a group of lowly officers who are left to pick up the pieces after one of the big exciting Doctor Who alien invasions. The Doctor always leaves a lot of destruction in their wake, so it would provide a lot of opportunities for an affectionate parody of Doctor Who. They could be led by a former UNIT operative like Sergeant Benton (John Levene) who would be an ideal character for an irreverent Doctor Who comedy. There's a lot of potential for UNIT in the new RTD era and hopefully, the Disney+ deal can help to realize it.

For obvious reasons, Jack and Mickey would be recast

Companions united.

Showing everyone who traveled with the Doctor saving the world in their own way. Each episode showing individual companions. From all the alive Classic Companions to all the New Who Companions.

Master Who? Basically The Master's show and showing what happens when The Doctor isn't there to stop The Master's universal conquest. And The Master taking on the worst people imaginable as companions. Could have Michelle Gomez, John Simm, Sascha Dhawan, Derek Jacobi, Geoffrey Beevers, Eric Roberts and Gordon Tipple return as their respective Masters/Missy

Time Lord Academy. The childhood of The Doctor, Master, and Rani during their years at the academy

Eighth Doctor adventures.

Finally giving Eight the run he deserves. Could bring in Charley or Lucie as his companions and lead into Eight in the Time War

Showing Romana and Leela on Gallifrey. During Romana's reign as Time Lady President. Leading to the Time War and how Romana was removed from power and Leela's last stand

KATE: My name is Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, Commander-in-Chief of the Unified Intelligence Taskforce, and I demand that you show yourself.

Seeing Lenny Rush

Me: this is a child. He's like 12. *googles* he's like 15. What's a 15 year old doing working at UNIT? He should be doing teenager things, not working. He's not an adult. Rose Tyler wouldn't have allowed this

LR: i'm morris gibbons, i'm 13 and i'm a child genius, because asteroids

Me: *What's a *13yo* doing working at UNIT? He should be doing teenager things, not working. He's not an adult. Rose Tyler wouldn't have allowed this*

Me: HE SHOULD NOT BE ESSENTIAL STAFF

I double-checked. Susan Twist is addressing an empty room, but the event was said to us to be a UN address: “And look at me now. 90 minutes' time, I address the United Nations.” “Come on, you two. In 65 minutes, it's 1500 UK time, 10am in the USA. That's when Susan Triad addresses the United Nations.”

And it’s clearly a promo with a fake standard tech bro crowd with pretend overexcited individuals, like an Apple event, and the script would suggest it’s to the general public.

It’s definitely meant to be the same speech. “She's due to make the speech at three o'clock. We've got ten minutes. I'm with the media team.”

…But the actual speech as we personally end up experiencing is to UNIT. The Unified Intelligence Taskforce. Previously United Nations Intelligence Taskforce before they politely asked us to change that.

And the audience doesn’t exist.

Definitely got to be meta.

Is this a Doctor Who Is A TV Show theory kind of meta? Something about canon flexibility? Things being true and not all at once?

If we get a Wibbly-wobbly Big Bang Three would this be a hint of the effect of the TARDIS getting all her occupants’ memories together as episodes and so remembering it as both? The TARDIS wiki is real and canon and it’s all true every bit as needed and UNIT is both United Nations and Unified?
