What would you change about Doctor Who history and why?

I'd go back to 1969 and sabotage the introduction of the time lords.

I don't think I'd go that far. I don't think the idea was particularly bad,
and Gallifrey isn't a bad name for the planet. But I think the idea that
they'd call themselves "Time Lords" is a bit silly...

Maybe the translation works on a subconcious level.  They're not so full
of themselves that they'll use the literal name "Time Lords", but
they're still self-important enough to think that they alone have
rightful dominion over time travel etc. (as shown in eg. The Two
Doctors).  So it's what they all know it to mean, if not what they say..

How dare you disgrace the name of one of the greatest actors to play
the Doctor, after he has died, by maliciously spelling his name wrong,
which you weren't fit to mention in the first place you lowlife
scumbag mutant!

Who do you think you are?
