I'm not surprised to find many other Doctor Who fans here. I think this
show exemplifies the same love of variety that draws people to Chess
variants. It is about a guy who can travel to any time and place, who goes
around with various (usually attractive female) companions, and can even
regenerate his whole body, taking on a new appearance and personality. If
I could be any TV character, I think it would be the Doctor.
Regarding a Doctor Who Chess variant, this is a tough one, because the
main themes of Doctor Who don't seem to translate to any single CV idea.
I rather imagine a game in which a player could teleport from one CV to
another, which would just be too wild. But maybe a card-based game,
similar to Knightmare Chess, but with a Doctor Who theme, would be most
fitting to this show.
