Doctor Who: Flip-Flop (#46)
|
|
|
Christmas Eve in the year 3060, and the planet Puxatornee is home to
a prosperous human colony.
A space craft has arrived in orbit carrying the Slithergees, a race of
obsequious alien slugs. Their home world has been destroyed and they
are humbly requesting permission to settle on the first moon.
And if they don't get permission, then they are humbly threatening to
declare all-out war.
The future hangs in the balance. The decision rests with Bailey,
the colony' s president - but she has other things on her mind.
Christmas Eve in the year 3090, and the planet Puxatornee has changed
beyond all recognition.
The Doctor and Mel arrive, on a completely unrelated mission to defeat
a race of terrible monsters, and soon discover that something rather
confusing has been happening to history.

White Disc Episode One:
The Doctor can't, won't, do what needs to be done
to keep history on track after Stewart's actions. Stewart then
points out that now history will have to change...
White Disc Episode Two:
As the names of the two dissidents are read out, the Slithergee is
confident that they cannot hide their scents in the squalor of their
own people as he and Potter witness the arrival of the TARDIS out
of thin air...
Black Disc Episode One:
The Doctor tries to stop Stewart and Reed,
telling them they cannot predict the implications of their actions
and they can't change the past. Stewart is adamant that he can and
shoots Bailey dead. Now history will have to change...
Black DiscEpisode Two:
As the names of the two enemy agents are read out,
Stewart is about to give up his search when Read hears something and
they witness the arrival of the TARDIS out of thin air...
Mel: 'Bumpy? I'm not inclined to use rude words, Doctor, but
if I was I'd use several to describe how "bumpy" that landing was!'
Bailey: 'Any humans found on the streets will be prosecuted.
Fatally.'
The Doctor: 'I have a worried feeling it may turn out to be
even more convoluted than that. We'd better pay close attention
or we might end up completely bewildered.'
Slithergee Community Leader: 'We are an oppressed,
downtrodden minority.' Bailey: 'With all due respect, you
occupy over nine tenths of the planets surface. You hardly
constitute a minority.' Slithergee Community Leader: 'Being
a minority has nothing to do with how many there are.'
Professor Capra: 'That's us off to a good start! You
wouldn't believe the things I have to do to some people just
to get their names.'
Reed: 'If you say anything negative about the Slithergee,
that's a hate crime.'
The Doctor: 'It's my duty to protect time not to fiddle
about with it like a broken spin dryer.'
The Doctor: 'Unfortunately, there is an awkward thing
called free will...'
Stewart: 'We're talking about a whole world! Compared to
that what does one innocent life matter!'
The Doctor: 'Welcome to the future you created.'
The Doctor: 'We seem to be becoming notorious...'
The Doctor: 'You've traded in your history, Stewart, and
there's no way you can get it back.'
Mel: 'Spies? We're not spies! And even if we were, we'd
hardly be self-confessed ones!'
Mitchell: 'We must all make sacrifices, Professor, and I
have merely made one on your behalf.'
Mel: 'Sometimes I think I've seen the insides of more
prison cells than I've had green salads.'
The Doctor: 'Why do corridors always look the same
wherever I go?'
The Doctor: 'When I say run, run. Come on!'
The Doctor: 'It is a fascinating opportunity to see the
difference one person can make...'
Mel: 'Hiding in a drain pipe from a visually impaired
invertebrate. Christmases in Pease Pottage were never like this.'
Stewart: 'He said he'd killed us! I take offence at that
sort of thing.'
Mel: 'I'm as deceitful, dishonest and about as unreliable
as they come.'
