“Welcome for a third and final time, Doctor. And my secret is…
“I am your father… no, wait, that’s not it, sorry, memory’s not what it was… Soylent Green is people!… er… it’ll come to me in a minute… Laura Palmer’s father is BOB? The Apes’ planet is really Earth? Bruce Willis is a ghost? Your […]
She strolled down towards Via Fossa. Three hours to get ready tonight, more than she spent for her first date with Michael Chambers in Year 12.
The door swung open, knocking the gift from her hand. Picking it up, she realized who was passing her.
“Nathan!” she called. “Happy seventeenth!”
He looked at her like she […]
He had skin of gold. In all Stuart’s nights of searching for the perfect man, he’d never found flesh of such perfection.
The boy stared all around, taking in the sights of the cobbled street. Every so often their eyes locked, and a gentle smile emerged. All too soon, his gaze started wandering again, desperately […]
Vince took a deep breath and burst through the door. It wasn’t what he had been expecting. No long scarves, no silver foil Cyberman costumes - some of them even had decent haircuts.
It was nice to feel like he wasn’t alone. There were other Doctor Who fans out there.
He bought a Budweiser (declining […]
“You will wait for me, won’t you?”
The warm squeeze of her shoulder told her everything.
Mel began the walk up the driveway. It had only been a few months since leaving home, yet to her parents she had been away for nearly fifteen years. She wondered what to expect: would Dad have given up […]
Stuart Alan Jones had done some seriously stupid things in his time, but this had to be right up there with the worst of them. For someone who normally felt no shame, he was absolutely shitting himself.
He looked over to his mother. She could barely raise a smile in support, but her presence was […]
“Well I think he captured us all really well,” Vince said as the Weather Girls segued into the theme music.
“Of course you do,” grumbled Stuart. “You’re the everyman hero who every mother wishes their faggoty son will meet and settle down with.”
“But you’re the one that everybody will want to fuck all night.” […]
Friday night started with the usual tales of previous exploits.
Vince was bursting. “You’ll never guess who he was,” he said. “Works in television: fantastic! He lists all the programmes he’s worked on and I’m thinking: Oh my God! And then when he tells me his name, it’s like I’ve died and gone to heaven. You’ll […]
Despair had been trying to ensnare her nemesis for aeons. Now she had hit on the perfect plan. A quick manipulation of a backwards little planet (whose inhabitants were far too up themselves for her liking) and the plan was in place. How ironic — that the bringer of hope would trap himself in her […]
“Wheeeee!” squealed Jo as the Magic Roundabout span. “This Land of Fiction is fun!”
“Watch out!” cried the Doctor, as Ermintrude stampeded through the garden.
Her distress’ source was soon apparent. Imhotep and the remainder of the cast of The Mummy ran amok. A eunuch servant jumped piggyback onto Florence, causing her great discomfort.
The Doctor […]
