Shakespeare was also a character in the last Doctor Who Magazine comic strip to feature the ninth (Ecclestone) Doctor. In keeping with the unusually close relationship between the TV show and its ancillary fiction, the same writer, Gareth Roberts, wrote both that comic strip and the TV episode.
If Roberts has maintained his characterisation of Shakespeare as a lecher, I wonder if we will learn tomorrow that Martha was the dark lady of the sonnets?
