Before plans were announced to revive the series, an attempt was made to create a story that would act as the series finale for Doctor Who altogether. This ending would dovetail into a spin-off that would be the spiritual successor to Doctor Who, called The Minister of Chance. The would-be finale depicts the Doctor making a final sacrifice and an implied downfall of the Time Lord society. The Doctor's companion Ace also ends up on her own, solemnly telling Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart about the Doctor's demise. However, because the Doctor's body is never found, his final fate is unclear.
