The Good Place is a fan novella written by David Blyth. It is a Thirteenth Doctor adventure taking place during series twelve and set between the episodes Can You Hear Me? and The Haunting of Villa Diodatti, although the story's epilogue takes place shortly after The Timeless Children from Graham's perspective, due to the presence of Ravio
Plot[]
Landing in the holiday resort of Sevron, The Doctor and Graham deal with ‘Troxoak trees, Forest Rangers, suicide attempts, and matters of the heart
Continuity[]
There is a reference to Spiradon from Planet of the Daleks
Droxil, Bill Bailey's character from the 2011 Christmas special The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe, makes an appearance, and actually meets The Doctor.
Androzani Minor and the youth-enhancing chemical Spectrox are featured and the events of the televised adventure The Caves of Androzani, and the Fifth Doctor's regeneration, and difficulty adjusting to it as the Sixth Doctor in The Twin Dilemma, is recalled by The Doctor in a conversation with Yaz.
The ending of Can You Hear Me? is used to set the scene in the story's opening teaser.
The trip The Doctor and Graham took to the Catastrophea in the Doctor Who Magazine comic strip The Mistress of Chaos play an integral part in the story when The Doctor brings Graham to a mental projection of the otherworldly dimension so that they may open up to each other about their feelings.
The Doctor initially denying, and then conceding, that the Catastrophea is 'paris' to her and Graham, is a callback to a line uttered by Missy in series eight of televised Nu Who, in reference to their home of Gallifrey.
The epilogue explicitly reveals that Ravio, the human resistance member befriended by the TARDIS crew in Ascension of the Cybermen, is a future timeless incarnation of The Doctor who ultimately settles down with Graham.
The Doctor's ability to revisit past faces across the regenerations is used for the ending, which reveals 'Ravio' contracted a fatal illness and regenerated back into the Thirteenth Doctor
