32 Fish Fingers and Custard Issue 1 The Doctor’s Rose A love story about Doctor 10.5 and Rose Tyler, set in the alternative universe. The series follows The Doctor and Rose as they attempt to live together and settle in their new life. There’ll be plenty of ups and downs for our couple, as The Doctor will be attracted by the old slapper in the Queens Legs (a pub) and Rose will be physically assaulted by her gruff younger-brother Tony, on a regular basis. Not to mention the emotional turmoil her and her mother (but mostly Rose, as she is the only person that matters) have to go through as they try to readjust to this new universe and the fact that her Dad isn’t actually her real Dad, but he is (sort of). Can The Doctor save Rose from going down the alcoholic route, which she does to comfort herself, after everything becomes too much? Can their relationship survive? Will young Tony be shopped to the police? Verdict: Go away now before I kill you – REJECTED Travels With The Brig A travelogue starring Nick Courtney as The Brig, which sees him travelling to some of the world’s oddest places, such as Peru and Stoke-on-Trent. The Brig is very open about why he goes on these travels EVERY TIME Earth seems to get invaded and how a man in his late 70’s enjoys himself, without an internet connection. Verdict: Move over Michael Palin, the Brig is in town – COMMISSONED The Boy Who Lived Adventure series starring a grown-up Matthew Waterhouse (again – are you sure? – Ed) as Adric, as he fights to survive in prehistoric wilderness. Oh did we mention he survived the crash? Anyway, each week sees Adric dodge dinosaurs and tries to make a life for himself. Poor Adric then somehow manages to fall into a ‘special pool’ which makes him immortal and sees the series move on a time period every few series’. Like Stargate but better. Written by Eric Saward. Verdict: Sounds good but shite at the same time – OFFERED TO FOX Loose Kangs All the Kang-gangs from ‘Paradise Towers’ get together to chat about daily life in the tower block and about how being a young woman in there, isn’t all its cracked up to be. There’ll be hard discussions about Kang fashion, reminisces about the ‘Kang Games’, cooking lessons from the elderly and live music from the cleaners. Which Kangs are the best? Well all of them, obviously! Verdict: Interesting, would be better if a well-known actor was cast to give it some ‘gravitas’… – PILOT EPISODE COMMISONED So which ones would you watch?

33 Fish Fingers and Custard Issue 1 The Doctor…In Wonderland Alice had been spending her afternoon quietly by the river, skipping stones rather badly on its still surface, when she saw a tall, skinny man in a bowtie run past, muttering, "I'm late!" This would not have been a major, out of the way occurrence, if the man had not been brandishing a strange metal apparatus that was glowing bright green at the tip. Alice was immediately interested and after throwing her last stone directly at her older sister's head, to knock her out, she followed the man at a safe distance. He was running rather fast and Alice found herself quite out of breath by the time she caught up with him, at which point he was standing by a large hole in a tree trunk, pointing his metal wand at it with an expression of extreme concentration. "Shh" he said to Alice, as she stopped breathlessly by him. "I think," he continued, "that this hole is the physical appearance of a severe rip in the fabric of space and time..." He continued looking deeply into it and muttering to himself, before, to Alice's consternation, jumping right in with a gay shout of "Geronimo!" Alice, never one to be left behind when her curiosity was piqued, jumped right in after him. It was not how she imagined. Instead of a rather hard landing on solid earth, which she had expected, the rabbit hole seemed to go forever, twisting and turning beneath the tree, with all manner of curious objects catching her attention. Flying boxes made of iron, with no visible means of support. Machines that played thousands of songs yet could fit in her hand. Gauntlets that caused death. Her head spun... After what seemed like an age, she hit solid ground with a bump. She opened her eyes and stared around. She was in a cavernous room, a massive table beside her and all around the walls were doors, some gigantic, some miniscule, all tempting. Beside her also was the strange man with the bowtie. He looked at her with interest. "Who are you then?" he asked. "I'm Alice" she said. "Who might you be?" He smiled. "I'm the Doctor," he said. He looked around. "We look like we're stuck, Alice," he said. "There's a key on that table up there, but it looks like it will only fit that door -” (here he pointed to the tiniest door of all) "and we're both of us much too big to go through that." It was at that moment Alice noticed a small cake on the floor beside her. She picked it up and examined it. "It says 'Eat Me'" she reported.
