Hallowe'en induced mad notion

Happy Hallowe’en!

And having just watched Scare Me, which I thought was great fun, an update on the American Doctor alternate timeline:

Aya Cash as Thirteen.

Sunday adventure hook: Trick

Hallowe’en Special!

Trick

The travellers go to the Village Halloween Parade in New York in 1978, so they can see John Carpenter’s Halloween with an early audience as well. And the Stranger spots a familiar face in the crowd. And another. And another. Some of her alien enemies, mingling unnoticed and being praised for the quality of their masks and costumes...

“I expect this kind of thing from Zygons.”

Sunday adventure hook: The Burning City

Post 1666! ... was a couple of posts ago. But anyway...

Doctor Who hit the Great Fire of London in The Visitation, the first adventure I really remember clearly, but what the hey...

The Burning City

London is ablaze. Who can you save? And what might this be hiding in this most invaded city, about to awaken?

“If I get drowned by Matthew Hopkins, I blame you. And also obviously Matthew Hopkins.”

Adventures In Lockdown

Adventures In Lockdown, the short stories spinning around some of the rewatches, collected in book form with new stories, for Children In Need.

Canaries

Canaries, a new short story both introducing The Wintertime Paradox festive collection by Dave Rudden and part of Time Lore Victorious.

VERBIER MUSEUM OF THE IMPOSSIBLE

ESTABLISHED 2044

NO TIME TRAVEL PLEASE

This would also be a good series setup, by the way, in a Friday The 13th: The Series kind of way.

New Who video games

Two games announced from Maze Theory.

For console. The Edge Of Reality, following The Edge Of Time VR game, starring 13 and 10 helping you save reality itself a million years in the future. No pressure.

For mobile devices, The Lonely Assassins, which looks like a classic adventure kind of game, searching for clues in photos and the like.

Sunday adventure hook: Message In A Bottle

Message In A Bottle

Influenced by... The Influence.

Someone trying to communicate through possession. A parent trying to save their child, even though the possessing being means no harm - but how do they communicate that?

“What are you trying to tell us?”

Sunday adventure hook: Faces From My Past

Faces From My Past

Inspired by the trailer for No Time To Die: 

The Stranger wakes to find herself in one of her previous bodies.

“Well... huh.”

Sunday adventure hook: Takers

Takers

Taking the above in a more horrible direction...

A group of young people are informed that members of their ancestors’ families plan to steal and live on in their bodies.

“What, like Being John Malkovich?”

“Yes! That’s a very helpful analogy that I wasn’t expecting any of you to get.”

Sunday adventure hook: Family Ties

Family Ties

The Stranger brings a group of modern people together with ancestors to team up against a cross-time threat trying to prevent them being born.

“Whoa, my great-granddad looks just like me!”

“Yeah? Mine doesn’t look much like me at all.”

“And technically you look like him.”

“Where’s mine?”

“That’s him, Miss.”

“Oh.”

Sunday adventure hook: The Bat

Inspired by Batman Day:

The Bat

1938, and New York is seemingly host to a real-life masked vigilante straight out of one of those newfangled comic books. What’s really going on? Who is this mysterious figure targeting? Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of a Time Lord?

“This is a long way to go to get your comics delivered!”

Sunday adventure hook: As You Wish

Inspired by the fundraiser cast reunion of The Princess Bride:

As You Wish

The monarch of a storybook realm (possibly literally in the Land of Fiction) seeks to marry one of the travellers, and will cheerfully imprison their companions to get their way.

“I’m only mostly dead.”

DALEKS!

DALEKS! - an animated series, part of Time Lord Victorious, coming to the Who Youtube in November. Not quite on the Beeb itself, presumably due to the licensing tie-in legalities. Daleks are an obvious choice for an animated series, so could there be more in future?

Sunday adventure hook: Some Assembly Required

Following the launch of Marvel’s Avengers video game:

Some Assembly Required

The Stranger and companions are called in to team up with a number of other series protagonist types against a larger threat. Expect personality clashes, snark contests and armies of robots.

“You’re travellers in all of time and space, right?”
“Right.”
“This is from outside that.”
“Okay, let me have a look...”

Sunday adventure hook: 21 Bridges

In honour of Chadwick Boseman.

21 Bridges

An island city connected by bridges... and now none of them seem to go to the right place.

“We have to find a way off this island!”
“There is no way off this island!”
