The Eighth Doctor's death was very different.
Almost 20 years ago, the revival of Doctor Who almost began very differently, thanks to the most advanced version of the Cybermen. As it stands now, the Christopher Eccleston era of Doctor Who began with the Ninth Doctor, a product of the Time War having presumably regenerated from the Eighth Doctor
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The 2005 revamp almost began completely differently, starting with The Flood by Scott Gray, Gareth Roberts, Martin Geraghty, Roger Langridge, John Ross, Mike Collins, Anthony Williams, and Adrian Salmon. The story arc collects the final volume of Doctor Who Magazine comic strips starring the Eighth Doctor, published between July 2004 and February 2005, before the Ninth Doctor's televised debut.
The Eighth Doctor Was Meant to Die Stopping the Cybermen As seen above, the evolved state of the Cybermen is far sleeker than their usual design, and they are led by the Cyber-Leader and Cyber-Controller, who got their own unique markings. What's perhaps most infamous about The Flood is the history behind it.
Companion Problems Changed The Eighth Doctor's Death Because the ending of The Flood - featuring the Eighth Doctor's companion, Destri - would have effectively broken this clause, the plans were scrapped in favor of an ending that sees the Eighth Doctor literally walking off into the sunset, giving a storybook ending to his comic strip run. Instead, the Eighth Doctor dies in the webcast episode 'The Night of the Doctor.
While not quite as iconic to the franchise as the Daleks, the Cybermen are up there with the Doctor's greatest villains, and it would have been amazing to see them become the cause for Doctor Who's revamp and the debut of the Ninth Doctor. Unfortunately, it wasn't to be, but Doctor Who fans still got a significant look ahead at what this deadly alien army will become.
