IC: Doctor Who...
Haven't seen the the rulebooks yet, but have watched almost all the episodes (classic, movie, and new).
In my opinion, 'The Doctor' should be an NPC, and overall control, but have companions - most of the time, anyway. In the new series, references have been made to other travelling Time-Lords, like 'The Corsair' who has a tattoo on the arm in all incarnations regardless of gender (mentioned when The Doctor went outside the universe), and there is The Doctor's daughter (Ginny), and 'Dead-Clara' and Her (or was it Self?) in the Diner-Tardis, even 'The Master/Mistress'... Any of these could easily be PC-run.
The companions really should be player-designed... new people, new ideas...
Multiple Time-Lords and their story-lines can be color-coded (or Named) with a climbing count on their segments to break up story arcs, and keep the story-lines mostly separate (White 005, White 006, Red 004, etc.) while allowing group cross-overs (Blue 005/Green 003)... a good way to drop little 'spoilers' (and story ideas) in the player's path (because it's all timey-wimmy [honestly never thought I'd type that]) and it's self-archiving...
