I have an idea of how I’d have each of these actors be Dr Who if I had my own way. Each of their eras planned out in my head as if they’ll ever become Dr Who. Don’t worry guys you’re canon to me. But seriously these four just Dr Who: The Oncoming Storm & Universe Romantic to me
Cavill & Patel would lean more towards Universe Romantic while Elba and Anderson would lean toward Oncoming Storm
After a little thinking, I think having Tom Hardy as the Master for both the Elba and Cavill Doctors would be more interesting than changing the Master. It would be rough cockney vs cockney with Elba and then rough vs elegant with Hardy vs Cavill. Love that concept personally
Tom Hardy’s Master having a story that is specifically intertwined with the Elba and Cavill Doctors exclusively, he never knows which Doctor coming but this Master’s regeneration is an Elba Doctor story. An image of him just walking off after a brawl and calmly regenerating
So while Hardy’s Master would visibly die in the Elba era he would still be seen planets in the following era facing off against Cavill’s Doctor similar to a River Song situation but a lot more finite
The Elba & Cavill Doctors are very different tonally except for when it comes to their stowaway cat in the TARDIS. They both adore that little bubba with all their hearts, she even has a massive garden in the TARDIS only she can go to (yes it is just my cat Missy so shoot me)
And yes the Doctor’s stowaway cat is still called Missy just like mine. And yes the Doctor named it after Missy, the incarnation of the Master that was ever so nearly the good willed incarnation. The Doctor named the cat this to remember a happier time from long ago
‘The Three Monks’ The Meddling Monks keep tripping over each other’s plans and absolutely despise each other for it despite being the same person. A Patel Doctor story with glimpses of Elba & Cavill. The Doctor doesn’t need to save the day, the Monk is that self destructive
This is very Time Lord heavy isn’t it 😅 I swear there’s more than just Time Lords but they’re the first thing I thought about. Yet again another Time Lord here. The perfect face the comic Corsair, not specific to any of the four Doctors I’ve designed, just pops up whenever
Trenzalore would slowly start creeping back into whispers around the universe through all four Doctor eras. Nothing too major or prophetical but it would definitely be implied Trenzalore is still the final resting place of the Doctor. The Silence would also return as a result
These two Doctors get the privilege of being haunted by the Valeyard almost like it’s the Watcher from Logopolis except it’s their entire eras and they always have a big elaborate plan to either steal the Doctor’s regenerations or merge back and assert dominance over the Doctor
Also a quick thing. Perhaps the Valeyard’s form is distorted and/or morphed between vague forms of past Doctors form long ago
Right for now, I’m gonna stop but there’s a lot more
The Doctor’s Children of Time reborn once again, a handful of faces from old back protecting Earth
I completely forgot about the Rani! How could I forget about her... she’s back and she’s played by Ruth Wilson. She’s the same incarnation across all four of those Dr Who’s. She gets to meet all four of them because, again, she is the perfect casting for the Rani imo
