Happy New Year! To All – From Old Doctor Who!
It was – exactly 20 years ago (in story terms), that the Eighth Doctor (Paul McGann) battled the newly regenerated Master (Eric Roberts); in San Fransicso, during the millenium new year in 1999/2000.
This adventure took place during the events of Doctor Who : The TV Movie (1996). After defeating the Master, the Eighth Doctor saw in the new millenium; with new companion-elects – Dr Grace Holloway and Chang Lee. Before deciding to continue on adventuring, in space-and-time.

The Eigthth Doctor (Paul McGann) and companions Grace Holloway and Chang Lee . See in the new year millenium 2000. ‘Doctor Who: TV Movie’ – 1996.
Of course, the future adventures of the Eighth Doctor were never realised – or made into a follow-up TV series; but many audio and animated adventures followed, to try and fill in – the missing time period.
