Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling! was the name of the story in Death's Head #5. It did not feature the Doctor, but instead starred a number of characters who had debuted in the comic story Keepsake and Death's Head, a character who had crossed the Seventh Doctor's path before.
It was therefore a DWU story in the tradition of the backup comic stories that were a constant part of the the early years of Doctor Who Magazine. Unlike those stories, however, Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling! featured no elements from televised Doctor Who at all.
