This version of the Doctor was certainly based upon [[Nicholas Briggs]]' physique. In a 2000 interview, Briggs failed to dismiss his interviewer's assertion that it was also a representation of the Doctor he played in the [[fanon]] [[Audio Visuals]] productions that were more-or-less contemporaneous with ''Party Animals''.<ref>[http://www.justyce.org/nick-briggs-03-april-2000.html Nick Briggs interview, 3 April 2000]</ref> Still, he made no positive assertion in that interview that the two Doctors were the same.

There is very little in the comic to suggest that the "Briggs Doctor" is anything more than just an unspecified future version of the Doctor. However, many ''AV'' storylines would certainly illustrate an incarnation identical to the one featured in the story. <ref>http://www.justyce.org/comicav.html</ref> In any event, the Audio Visuals productions are outside the scope of this wiki. Even if the ''Party Animals'' Doctor was meant to be the Audio Visuals Doctor (as is most likely the case), this does not retroactively give Audio Visuals the correct licensing to produce stories with the Doctor.

The only properly licensed ''Doctor Who'' fiction that even marginally ties into this character is ''[[Wormwood (comic story)|Wormwood]]'', a [[DWM]] comic story from 1998. There, the [[Eighth Doctor]] appears to [[regenerate]], but really his "new self" is actually [[Shayde]] in disguise. That disguise is someone who looks strikingly like the ''Party Animals'' Doctor, down to the fact that he carries a [[toothbrush]] in his breast pocket (as aspect which originated in the ''Audio Visuals'' series).
 
 
It is considerably unclear what this means. Perhaps Shayde and the Eighth Doctor created this new persona on the basis of the Seventh Doctor's experience in ''Party Animals''. Maybe the "Shayde Doctor" had time to sneak away for a bit, pick up someone named Ria, and pop back in time to meet the Seventh Doctor. Perhaps Shayde simply visited the party twice (as he was already at the scene) simply to play a trick on the Doctor. Or maybe there's no connection at all. Perhaps it ''is'' just a situation where two completely different "Doctors" were based on the incarnation played by Briggs in his fannon series, one as a tribute and one as a red herring. All that's certain is that neither narrative gives us anything clear to connect any of the numerous Nick Briggs-based Doctors.

An incarnation of the Doctor met the Seventh Doctor at Bonjaxx's birthday party on Maruthea.

Biography

Accompanied by his companion Ria, this version of the Doctor greeted his seventh incarnation and Ace at Maruthea during Bonjaxx's birthday celebration. (COMIC: Party Animals)

When Hob viewed over the events of this party, he briefly saw an image of the two Doctors and Death's Head. (COMIC: The Incomplete Death's Head)

Appearance

Two Doctors and Death's Head

The two Doctors and Death's Head at Bonjaxx's Bar on Maruthea. (COMIC: The Incomplete Death's Head)

This Doctor had short, dark hair and a receding hairline.

His outerwear consisted of a dark suit jacket with light-coloured piping along the lapels and he carried a toothbrush in his outer breast pocket for reasons unknown. He also wore a badge shaped like a teapot. (COMIC: Party Animals)

When Shayde posed as the Eighth Doctor and "regenerated" as part of a scheme to defeat the Threshold, the new incarnation wore similar clothes and kept a toothbrush in his breast pocket. (COMIC: Wormwood)

Behind the scenes

  • This incarnation of the Doctor and his companion Ria originated in the fan Audio Visuals productions that were more-or-less contemporaneous with Party Animals[1][2], and thus has the likeness of Nicholas Briggs, who portrayed that Doctor. As unlicensed productions, the Audio Visuals and its Doctor are outside the scope of this wiki. However, Briggs would go on to briefly portray unnumbered incarnations of the Doctor in miscellaneous other audioplays, with no clear links with his previous, unofficial "Doctor" character(s).
