The Fifth Doctor by Tim Bradley

Welcome to ‘The Fifth Doctor by Tim Bradley’ page!

Here on this page, I’ll be posting my series of ‘Doctor Who’ fan-fiction stories that I’ve been writing from 2010 to 2015. My favourite TARDIS duo in ‘Doctor Who’ is the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa, played by Peter Davison and Sarah Sutton in the early 1980s. These are my stories featuring that TARDIS duo. I’m amazed I’ve managed to complete my series of ‘Doctor Who’ stories in the space of five years. Now I’ve finished, I’d like to share how I’ve approached my ‘Doctor Who’ series and what I wrote.

The stories feature the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa, joined by a new companion called Billy Walker. The Doctor and Nyssa meet Billy in a story called ‘The Railway of Time’. Billy is a freelance photographer from 1963, who meets the Doctor and Nyssa and joins them on an railway adventure.

I hope you’ll enjoy reading my series of ‘Doctor Who’ stories, as I had fun writing them.

Below is the list of the stories featuring the Fifth Doctor; Nyssa and Billy.

Enjoy!

Tim. 🙂
