In a new incarnation, the Minister of Chance, despite no longer having access to his ship, carried on travelling in the universe using the formula for doors.
Biography[]
Origins[]
This Minister remained marked (PROSE: The Minister of Chance) by the punishment incurred by the First Minister of Chance for misusing his power as a Time Lord, which drove the Seventh Doctor to "revoke" his TARDIS. These events occurred in a reality where the Seventh Doctor became the last of the Time Lords and seemingly sacrificed himself fighting Tannis, (WC: Death Comes to Time) which one account suggested was a parallel universe distinct from the world of the Eighth Doctor who encountered the Divergent Universe, (AUDIO: Zagreus) although another account acknowledged the Canisian invasion as an event in the Eighth Doctor's past.

Adventures[]
In his new body, the Minister met Kitty in Tantillion and travelled with her as he fought another corrupt surviving member of his own kind, Rathen. (PROSE: The Minister of Chance)
Behind the scenes[]
Promotional material for The Minister of Chance described the Minister as being "now in his second regeneration".[1] When Big Finish introduced their own Minister in The Same Face, who shared many similarities with the previous Minister character, they were shown to be a Time Lord that had used the same appearance across ten incarnations. The story concluded with the character gaining the ability to finally change appearance upon regeneration and become a true Renegade, with it being teased that the character would go on to become Fry's Minister of Chance. This would make him the eleventh incarnation of the Minister, and Wadham the twelfth. However, Fry would still be the first to call himself the Minister of Chance, and Wadham the second.
