Well, the story side of things isn't as bad with Doctor who, sinse being about time travel, it would be quite possible to have a doctor who story set in the future or the passed.
for example, if you wanted a story about combatting a Dalek space fleet, set it around the time of Destiny of the Daleks (or earlier), when the Daleks were strong, stil had a home planet etc. If you want a story about hunting a single Dalek through a maze, set it later, around the time of the time war. It wouldn't even matter what Doctor you used As long as you got the right doctor with the right assistant, ---- or even no assistant, it would be fine. for all Doctor who fans, there is a fantastic encyclopedia site with detailed (and highly readable), synopsis of everything ever published related to Doctor who, ---- along with usual encyclopedia info about how the different stories relate. (I was quite impressed that in their list of Doctor who audios they even included the three Doctor who novels done by the rnib on talking book). the site is at http://www.drwhoguide.com/who.htm Beware the Who!
