David Burton

David Burton is a stage actor who claims he had been cast (DWM 209) as the Doctor, in 1991.

He states he was filmed by a company in an independently-made pilot called Doctor Who and the Monsters of Ness. The pilot was sent to the BBC, and if they liked it, a Doctor Who reboot would have been made. The BBC have refused to state whether the episode exists or not, whereas Burton says it does and had, making it more of a "missing episode" than an unmade one. Burton is mentioned in DWM 209 in 1994, interviewed by Marcus Hearn.
