Need to work out a plot for the next chapter, though...<br /><br /><i>Well I haven't actually listened to the story... was that the one you wrote where the parody version had the 4th and 10th Doctors running a club in Ibiza?</i><br />Heh. No, that's the Rapture by Joe Lidster.<br /><br />The Fearmonger was the 7th/Ace story set fighting urban terrorists and Servalan/Pauline Hansen. Not a bad story, but it feels more "adult" and "grown-up" than I'd like, and does make the stories after it feel very kiddy and childlike in comparison. It feels like the gritty continuation of Survival, which is very amusing given how unsophisticated the <a href="http://insanedrwho.blogspot.com/2009/11/7th-doctor-ice-time-i.html" rel="nofollow">actual</a> continuation would have been...<br /><br /><i>Ahhh okay. I like it when soundtracks do that. The Queen track (Having a Good Time?) in Shaun of the Dead is probably the most triumphant example..</i><br />Heh. My own personal would be the Goodies and the Moon-Rabbits - the headbanging rock tune as we see Bill and Tim brainwashed into psycopaths who run around, killing pensioners, kidnapping women and raping them... for fun... <br /><br /><i>Ooh, that's an awesome story!
