What If Doctor Who Wasn't Axed? - Doktor - Przez Czas i Przestrzeń (2019)

The third of four foreign adaptations of Doctor Who that were commissioned by the BBC and CBS. This version would be the version from Poland.

BBC then took advantage and sold this one more and gave it a bigger budget. It would feature mainly adaptations from Chapter One, with the exception of three. The stories this season would include Zygoni (The Zygons, a very very loose adaptation of Terror of the Zygons that is considered an original story), Dalekowie (The Dead Planet, an adaptation of The Daleks), Trzeci Wymiar (The Third Dimension, an adaptation of Flatline), Matacz w Czasie (Scissored Time, an adaptation of The Time Meddler), Klucze Marinus Parts I and II (The Search Parts I and II, an adaptation of The Keys of Marinus), Jaskiniowcy (The Cavemen, an adaptation of An Unearthly Child), Kinda (The Mara, an adaptation of Kinda), Powódź Tysiąclecia (Flood of the Millennium, an original story), Machiny Wojenne (WOTAN, an adaptation of The War Machines).
