BBC's immensely popular Doctor Who series, featuring an extraterrestrial Time Lord exploring the universe aboard a time machine resembling a police call box, is a significant part of British pop-culture and a cult favorite worldwide. The series has changed radically over the years, with thirteen actors portraying the Doctor to date, and with more than 50 companions joining him on his adventures.
But the show's 800 televised episodes (so far) are just the tip of the iceberg, as the Doctor has referenced countless encounters never expanded upon onscreen. After five decades of time-traveling adventures, you might imagine you knew all there was to know about the greatest hero in all of time and space, but it turns out he was living another life entirely while we weren't looking. This is the story of that life.

Timothy J. Elliott Releases 'No Better Day'
'No Better Day' (published by iUniverse) is a metaphysical science fiction tale, narrated on a personal level, about memories holding the future of the human race's destiny. The timely and thought-provoking novel is told through the experiences of graphic designer Trevin Lambrose. Trevin's musings, longings, yearnings, heartaches, heartbreaks-and involvement in unexpected violence-are the vehicle through which the intense emotions and reality-bending are played out. Constance Summerlin, Trevin's new and enigmatic girlfriend, becomes the catalyst of this monumental paradigm shift. Together, the pair participates in a journey that marks a new beginning, where 'the future embraces the past.'
