The Shalka Doctor (or the REG Doctor) is the common fan name given to the character that appeared as an alternate incarnation of the Doctor in the flash-animated serial ''Scream of the Shalka'' in 2003 and the later short story ''The Feast of the Stone'' which were based on the British science fiction television series, ''Doctor Who''. He was voiced by the actor Richard E. Grant. ==Overview== ''Scream of the Shalka'' was designed to be an official continuation of ''Doctor Who''. At the time, there were no plans for a continuation of the television series and plans for another film were progressing very slowly. The Shalka Doctor was intended to be the ninth incarnation, as two lines in ''Scream of the Shalka'' imply: the Doctor mentions that Andy Warhol once wanted to paint "all nine" of him, and comments that a dead cat has used up its nine lives, like he has. The Shalka Doctor's claim to being the "Ninth Doctor" was also backed up by BBC press releases.〔(BBC-written copy for the release of the novelisation of ''Shalka'' )〕〔("Net première for Dr Who"/ BBC News. 12 November 2003 )〕 However, the 2005 series was announced in September 2003—about two months before the webcast could meet its 13 November release date.〔http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/3140786.stm "Doctor Who returns to TV". BBC News. 26 September 2003.〕 This led to immediate controversy about the "official" status of the animated Ninth Doctor. Martin Trickey, executive producer of ''The Scream of the Shalka'', noted these concerns when he was interviewed at the time of ''Shalkas release: "The BBC said it was the ninth Doctor, so that's great. Is it part of the canon? I don't know. There's a big argument raging on the message board. I just hope people enjoy it. That's the main thing. Whether people choose to see it as the official Ninth Doctor or not is really up to them."〔 As of 2005, Christopher Eccleston is established as the definitive Ninth Doctor: *BBC press releases and advertisements have firmly established Eccleston as "the Ninth Doctor". *The new series has also demonstrated this in various episodes. : *The Journal of Impossible Things from the two-part episode "Human Nature"/"The Family of Blood" contains sketches of all ten Doctors, with only Christopher Eccleston's Ninth Doctor included. : *In the Christmas special "The Next Doctor", the ten incarnations of the Doctor known at that time appear through an infostamp projection. The footage for the Ninth Doctor was of Christopher Eccleston from "The Parting of the Ways". : *The Eleventh Doctor settles the matter on-screen in the episode "The Lodger", identifying himself to another character as "eleventh" after his nature as a Time-Lord is revealed. To date the Shalka Doctor has appeared in three officially licensed ''Doctor Who'' products: the original webcast, the novelisation of the webcast by Paul Cornell which was released by BBC Books, and the short story "The Feast of the Stone" by Cavan Scott and Mark Wright which has to date only been published on the BBC's "Cult Vampire Magazine" webpage. A further series was commissioned by the BBC. It was called "Blood of the Robots" and was being written by Simon Clark. Three episodes had been written before it was cancelled because of the imminent return of the live series.〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=http://www.sfx.co.uk/2013/09/09/doctor-who-the-simon-clark-story-that-never-was/ )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shalka Doctor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
