Kánon = oficiální whoniversum, konsensus

Ale co to je? BBC oficiálně žádný nevyhlásila. Fanon? (Master=Meddling Monk) Někdy koncept zamíří z fanonu do canonu.

I na kánon lze mít jakýsi “kanonický” nebo nekanonický názor

Kánon = to, co licencovala BBC? ČASTO, ALE NE VŽDY !

Whoniversum a jeho pravidla

In August 2010 however, the BBC did make a fleeting reference to canon, in relation to their Doctor Who: The Adventure Games stating in their press release that "Players will encounter new and original monsters, in stories which form part of the overall Doctor Who canon".

A large issue when attempting to construct a definition of canon for Doctor Who is that it is never finished, Doctor Who has been in more or less constant production in one way or another since 1963, with TV stories, novelisations, novels, radio dramas, audio stories, toys, comic stories etc.

Some fans want a complete narrative, they want to collect and arbitrate in hefty canonical debates, but Doctor Who is never complete.

Other examples are evidenced with an official shift in definition, 2003's Scream of the Shalka was to have been the continuation of Doctor Who, with Richard E. Grant promoted as the "new" Ninth Doctor. The BBC's first edition of Doctor Who: The Legend even has several pages which details the "Ninth Doctor". But this detail was changed and the "Shalka Doctor" shifted away

The TV Series 1963-1989, 1996, 2005 only thing which is universally accepted as canonical by fans, and forms the basis of every continuity reference of note.

K9 and Company as part of the TV series, and count the 1996 TV Movie (semi-officially titled Enemy Within) and the new series (including Christmas Specials and in-continuity scenes from Children in Need) as of equal weight, and will probably do the same with spin-off series Torchwood. The unfinished story Shada also counts, although it has to be interpreted within the context of the webcast version - the original version was written out of the Doctor's timeline during The Five Doctors and "replaced" by the webcast version. We also include Attack of the Graske - the interactive episode shown via digital TV after The Christmas Invasion On the other hand, we don't count the Children in Need special Dimensions in Time, which is just silly, contributes nothing important, and is impossible to get hold of (at least legally) - and, in any case, the New Adventure First Frontier established that it was a nightmare of the Doctor's. We also don't count The Curse of the Fatal Death because it's a parody. We also don't count any in-character appearances by the Doctor or other Who characters on other TV shows.

BBV's Professor and Ace stories don't count, and neither do their Stranger stories. In both cases, these are attempts to use a Doctor/companion team without a license by thinly disguising the fact. Any other such series we've forgotten about are in the same category.

PRoBe series featuring Liz Shaw is also worthy of being counted.

RPs more direct (and licensed) Doctor Who stories Wartime, Downtime, Shakedown, and the Auton trilogy do count - after all, two of these stories also happen to have been novelised as part of the Missing Adventures and New Adventures series.

AUTON TRILOGY Featured the Auton and Nestene. It also featured UNIT. Though there were no 'recognisable' characters from Doctor Who.

P.R.O.B.E. Featured Caroline John reprising her role of Doctor Elizabeth Shaw working with P.R.O.B.E.The Zero Imperative, The Devil of Winterborne, Unnatural Selection, Ghosts of Winterborne, former Doctors Jon Pertwee, Peter Davison, Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy (Due to licensing restrictions, no overt reference to The Doctor is permitted.) Louise Jameson co-stars with Caroline John in all four films, as Patricia Haggard.

THE AIRZONE SOLUTION it doesn't have any narrative connection with Doctor Who, it does feature Jon Pertwee, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy and Nicola Bryant. In the DVD featurette The Wilderness Years, of the 2010 DVD release of the 1996 TV movie, reveals that Jon Pertwee was not cast until after production had begun, after calling the director and complaining that a Doctor Who movie was being made with the other Doctors and he wasn't in it. It was one of Jon Pertwee's final appearances (in film) before his death.

THE STRANGER A series featuring Colin Baker as 'The Stranger' (a.k.a. Soloman) and his companion 'Miss Brown' played by Nicola Bryant. Originally intended as a Doctor Who pastiche -- the second film, More Than a Messiah was even based upon an Audio Visuals Doctor Who story -- any similarities to the TV series were erased beginning with The Terror Game.

DO YOU HAVE A LICENCE TO SAVE THIS PLANET? A parody of Doctor Who produced to mark BBV's 10th anniversary, this short film featured Sylvester McCoy as "The Foot Doctor" and poked fun at not only Doctor Who, but also BBV's line of spinoff dramas and the whole "fan film" genre. The film also included appearances by Autons, Sontarans and BBV's Cyberons.

Adventure Games which in its second series brought us the story of ‘The Gunpowder Plot’ which, needless to say, tells the story of the 11th Doctor, Amy and Rory’s role in the events of the Gunpowder Plot.

However, the Virgin Missing Adventure ‘The Plotters’ gave an account of the 1st Doctor, Ian, Barbara and Vicki’s involvement in these same events in such a way that the two cannot possibly be reconciled to fit in with one another.

Therefore, it could easily be argued that only one of these can be considered canon, but which one? The true answer to this question we may never know, so all that can be done in these circumstances is for the individual fan to decide for themselves what is and isn’t canon.

Hry, novely, audio story - chaos

stories from the expanded universe which have been adapted into TV stories. Take for example the Virgin New Adventure ‘Human Nature’. In this story the 7th Doctor found himself being pursued by an evil family of aliens. His only means of escape was to remove his Time Lord essence and replace any memories he has of being a Time Lord with memories of being an English boarding school teacher in 1914. Sound familiar?

Well it should do, because in 2007 it was adapted into the two-part, 10th Doctor television story ‘Human Nature’ and ‘The Family of Blood’, leaving fans with a dilemma. Both stories were important in the lives of their corresponding Doctors, but only one can be canon. Are we really to believe that the same thing happened to the Doctor twice and he never realised?

Throughout Doctor Who's production there have always been 'competing narratives'; stories produced across several mediums that used the TV-created characters, in the 1960s and 70s these took the form of short stories and comic stories produced in annuals and comic strips. In the 1980s Doctor Who Magazine joined the fray with their own comic strip based stories and as the annuals did and continued to do short fiction was also produced for the magazine.

A similar problem is presented with the Big Finish 6th Doctor story ‘Jubilee’ which later became the 9th Doctor story ‘Dalek’, and the 10th Doctor comic story ‘The Lodger’ which later became a television story of the same name featuring the 11th Doctor.

Similarly there’s the unfinished 4th Doctor TV serial ‘Shada’ which was later adapted into an 8th Doctor webcast of the same name. It might just be easiest to consider the televised story the canon one in these cases, but can we even consider the TV series canon?

Believe it or not though, there is evidence to suggest that this is in fact the case. The new series isn’t canon. Aside from the issues created, once again, by the Doctor’s age, there’s also the issue of the Human / Time Lord Metacrisis. In the series 4 finale ‘Journey’s End’, the Doctor says that it’s impossible and should never happen, even going as far as to say what a terrible thing it is, but then during the 1996 movie (which may or may not be considered part of the classic series), the Doctor states that he himself is half human.

Since then, the IDW comic series ‘The Forgotten’ has attempted to fix this by saying that the 8th Doctor was lying, but this solution is still problematic at best. And there’s the issue of the entirely different accounts of Mars space program in the late 21st century as first depicted in ‘The Seeds of Death’ and then once again in ‘The Waters of Mars’, both stories having vastly different views on it.

Nový Doctor - také mimo kánon?

Then there’s a little story called ‘Death Comes to Time’. Starring Sylvester McCoy, this flash story was released as a webcast on the BBC’s website. What’s so important about this story? Only the minor fact that the Doctor dies at the end of it.

So obviously it’s non-canon right?

Well it may surprise you to know that some fans actually consider this story to be canon and therefore see the TV movie and therefore the revived series as non-canon.

“Wibbly wobbly, timey wimey”

This is a show about time travel after all.

What’s to say that with all the paradoxes, aborted timelines and alternate universes, plus all that time meddling and interfering that the Doctor is famous for, that stories can’t repeat themselves?

Who’s to say that the Doctor didn’t meet Guy Fawkes in his 1st incarnation and then again in his 11th incarnation and that somewhere in between, one of his adventures altered the original cause of events? Maybe he or someone else has even altered his own timeline a little, whether intentionally or otherwise, so that he found himself living through the events of ‘Human Nature’ twice.

We may never know the truth about canon, and this debate may go on forever, but at least we can be thankful for the wide range of stories that we’ve received over these almost 50 years of Doctor Who.

the Minister of Chance, appeared in the 2001 webcast Doctor Who: Death Comes to Time, where he was played by TV legend, Stephen Fry. The Minister has now, just like the Doctor, had his own face-lift, and is now portrayed by Julian Wadham.

The cast of the series includes other familiar faces to the world of Doctor Who, such as Sylvester McCoy and Paul McGann, who both played the Doctor before the show's return in 2005.
