Godfrey Porter was one of many writers to pen an episode of the Doctor Who TV series, namely The Outlaws, a story corresponding to the First Doctor, Ian Chesterton, Barbara Wright and Susan Foreman's encounter with Robin Hood, (PROSE: The Thief of Sherwood) which another account confirmed to have happened in the Doctor's own reality.

Behind the scenes[]
- Godfrey Porter's universe, that of the frame story of The Thief of Sherwood, was explicitly confirmed in 2020 on Twitter by Jonathan Morris to be meant to be read as a separate universe from the Doctor's own, though one where the Doctor could theoretically travel.[1]
