It\u2019s official \u2013 no Doctor Who<\/a> theory is too outlandish any more. After series 12\u2019s finale essentially canonised the Morbius Doctors<\/a> and<\/em> added Jo Martin\u2019s Time Lord to the roster of regenerations, we\u2019d say any and all bets are off for deep-cut fan ideas about the series as it continues.<\/p>\n Which is why we\u2019re not dismissing out of hand the latest theory about Doctor Who: Flux, and specifically the idea that the series might be drawing from a story that never actually made it to TV \u2013 Lungbarrow, written by Marc Platt for Sylvester McCoy\u2019s Doctor but left on the shelf until Platt adapted it into a book some years later.<\/p>\n \u201cThat was too internal a script to really work as a drama,\u201d Doctor Who script editor Andrew Cartmel said in 2019.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a brilliant, kind of gothic notion, but I think it was ideally suited to the novel that he [Platt] turned it into, into a sort of [Gormenghast author] Mervyn Peake prose thing.<\/p>\n Screen of that messed up house from “War of the Sontarans” vs a painting by Daryl Joyce from the ancient BBC eBooks version of Marc Platt’s “Lungbarrow”.
