 Fancy
a trip in the TARDIS?
The Doctor has dropped off
Rose at an ABBA concert so he’s going to need your
help. After he has connected your digital remote control
to his sonic screwdriver you can help him find out what’s
gone awry with an ordinary family on Christmas Day.
Mum, Dad, grandma, grandad,
and a little boy and girl are all in the living and dining
room, going through their presents and enjoying Christmas.

The Graske |
|
But not everything is at
it seems. While eveyone is milling about the mother’s
eyes briefly glow yellow and moments later an alien materialises
on the dining-room table and zaps the dad with a hand-held
control, replacing him with an exact duplicate whose eyes
also briefly glow yellow.
You and The Doctor monitor
all this on the TARDIS scanner and The Doctor identifies
the alien as a Graske, one of a species that takes over
planets by replacing their populations with duplicates.
It is therefore up to The
Doctor, with the assistance of the viewer, to follow the
Graske’s trail. This trial at first leads the TARDIS
to a street in London on Christmas, 1883, where the Graske
zaps another victim, and then onto Gryffoth, the Graske’s
home planet.

Doctor |

There you find yourself
in the chamber where the Graske stores their victim’s
bodies. It seems they need to keep the originals alive
in order to sustain the copies. As the Graske transfers
his two latest victims into the cubicles, he spots you
and opens fire but misses and the ricochet blasts open
one of the cubicles and releases an angry Slitheen. This
is your chance to reach the controls. But you only have
time to do one of two things: reverse the settings, which
will destroy the duplicates and teleport the originals
back home; or use the stasis controls to freeze everything
except you in place.
One leads to a happy ending
where everyone is transported back home and so, back in
the family house, the proper dad and mum snap back to
normal and start having fun with their family. Or, if
you choose to operate the stasis field, you freeze time
and so everyone stays right where they are... including
all of the Graske’s victims which leads to a very
unhappy Christmas for our family.
Don't worry if you get it wrong.
The Doctor is not angry - it is your first trip - and
you can always try again... and again... and again... |
