As 1993 approached, the fanbase of Doctor Who slowly worked themselves into a frenzy. The BBC started re-airing certain specials of the old series (no new ones, though, as it had been can-er, put on extended hiatus four years earlier), books came out to discuss Doctor Who and a fantastic movie-length special was announced that would involve all the still-living Doctors and a villain's plot to throw the Whoniverse out of whack - resulting in a "Dark Dimension" where the Fourth Doctor somehow never regenerated into the Fifth at the end of Logopolis.
