Recently listened to Mary’s Story from Big Finish’s The Company of Friends anthology starring Eighth Doctor Paul McGann released in 2009. This tells the story of the Eighth Doctor meeting Mary Shelley and her becoming his companion. Almost two decades before Mary’s Story there came the 1990 movie Frankenstein Unbound which also dealt with the premise of Mary Shelley meeting a time traveller. In a curious note the time traveller in Frankenstein Unbound was played by John Hurt and of course in 2013 he became the War Doctor and as revealed in Night of the Doctor the War Doctor came about after a regeneration from the preceding Doctor who was none other than the aforementioned Eighth Doctor! While it is probable that Steven Moffat may have listened to Mary’s Story one can only wonder whether Moffat had seen Frankenstein Unbound and whether that influence him casting Hurt as the War Doctor.
