Doctor Who (in-universe)/Non-valid sources

Doctor Who (in-universe) was depicted in several sources considered by this Wiki as "invalid sources".

1960s
By one account, Verity Lambert got the idea to cast William Hartnell as the First Doctor after seeing him in the dreary kitchen-sink drama film, This Sporting Life. (NOTVALID: Doctor Whoah!)

The 1968 episode, The Mind Robber, a much uglier actor was originally cast to fill in for Frazer Hines in a scene where the Second Doctor would have failed miserably at the "face fit" task. (NOTVALID: Doctor Whoah!)

1970s
A bubble-bath Dalek was released. (NOTVALID: Doctor Whoah!)

Tom Baker was cast as the Fourth Doctor after he wrote a polite letter to the BBC asking for an acting job. The following day, he wrote a letter to Mr Cadbury, asking for an entire castle made out of chocolate. (NOTVALID: Doctor Whoah!)

1990s
In 1993, the proposed 30th anniversary special, The Dark Dimension, was abandoned after an argument broke out amongst the actors over the size of Tom Baker's part. (NOTVALID: Doctor Whoah!)

2000s
During the filming of an episode around Christmas 2005, a miscommunication between Russell T. Davies and the BBC Wales design department meant that fifty extras dressed as sticklebacks had to be hastily re-costumed. (NOTVALID: Doctor Whoah!)

On the set of New Earth, the design department attempted to make the Catkind "ultra realistic" - by taking an actual cat and putting on the head of an extra - an idea that proved impractical. (NOTVALID: Doctor Whoah!)

Matt Smith was cast as the Eleventh Doctor, among other reasons, for his incredibly "Doctor Who-ish" hair.

2010s
Due to a typo, the episode, Let's Kill Hitler, briefly became a knockabout comedy called "Let's Kiss Hitler", which was about Amy Pond and Rory Williams chasing him, trying to do exactly as the misspelled title suggested. (NOTVALID: Doctor Whoah!)
