Lady Aesculapius (TV show)

After she was turned into fiction by Auteur using a gauntlet stolen from her people, Lady Aesculapius existed within Auteur's Town as a Lady Aesculapius TV show which took up "276 Blu-ray discs".

Citizen 176, who grew up in the Town, thought the TV show was "pretty good" and liked the character of Aesc. The Hollow Childe was also fond of the series, liking "all the monsters"; she stated that she liked stories with monsters in them due to being one herself. Graelyn Scythes, deaged and growing up over again within the Town, also watched the series; she liked it as a TV show but was skeptical of the Lady Aesculapius movie whose trailer played before Archimedes: Skymetal when Graelyn attended the premiere, feeling that the concept was better suited to TV.

Aesculapius was eventually restored to reality along with everyone and everything else who had been fictionalised by Auteur. (PROSE: White Canvas)

Behind the scenes
In keeping with Lady Aesc's character's status as a light parody of the Doctor, the TV show is ostensibly comparable to Doctor Who itself. The comments about the Lady Aesculapius movie may variously be interpreted as referring to the Dr. Who theatrical film with Peter Cushing or the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie, both of which have controversial reputations within conventional Doctor Who fandom — or simply to perennial discourse about the viability of a modern theatrical Doctor Who movie.
