Prose One of the genre of stories in which the Doctor confronts the consequences of ordinary people becoming involved in his extraordinary adventures. Over time various incarnations, including Eighth, visit a dying man, trying but failing to help him after he aided them in fighting a dangerous threat. Perhaps the most interesting element of the story is the inclusion of a future Doctor, based according to the writer Peter Anghelides, on one of his university friends, with ginger hair, a big afghan coat smelling of patchouli oil. The TARDIS Datacore has a whole entry for this incarnation offering various appearances and implying he's the source of the running joke after regenerations about still not being ginger.
Placement: Eighth's behaviour suggests that for him this is early when he's still trying to sort out some of his past mistakes.
