Village of the Damned, the 1960 film adaptation of John Wyndham’s The Midwich Cuckoos is a story of extraterrestrial incursion, possibly, in Doctor Who terms, by The Enemy.

 

Come Friendly Bombs   Short story, published 2004                             Doctor: 3

featuring Jo

Written by Dave Owen.

Takes place Berkshire and London between England; mostly self-dated Easter 1960 CE.

 

Last Year at Marienbad (1961) has a distinctly Second War in Heaven aesthetic, and notably, in one scene, the hotel’s guests cast shadows as the trees and other features of the garden do not. This does not make them members of Faction Paradox of course, but what the Faction can do, can be done. We do not know what we do not know about The Enemy: they are the army of the Fourth Quadrant: the unknown unknowns.

featuring the Time Lords

Written by Richard Elson.

Takes place in Dallas, Texas, during one version of the assassination of John Kennedy. I’m guessing this version of events was later overwritten by the Master (see Who Killed Kennedy), because a) in Who Killed Kennedy, Lee Harvey Oswald is a given, whereas here, Berenyi creates him and b) she comes from Gallifrey “a few centuries” after the Time Lords start their policy of non-intervention; so, implicitly a long time before the Master.
