Seven plots from David Bowie's Blackstar

From the song titles from the album of the same name/symbol. That one is in the bag already...

’Tis A Pity She Was A Whore
1633, and the TARDIS crew find a group of alien censors seeking to clean up human culture, starting by eliminating a notorious play before it can ever be performed. If they have their way, humanity will never achieve anything that might cause offence.

Lazarus
An old man dies in the Stranger’s arms... and then regenerates, taking one of his lives to renew himself.

Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime)
A sudden outbreak of criminal behaviour runs through the travellers’ home city, with no apparent source. Where did it start?

Girl Loves Me
A lonely young man falls in love with Girl Friday, the AI on his new phone. What would he do to bring her to life?

Dollar Days
A cut-price time travel service with some decidedly lax safety standards. How long until somebody steps on a butterfly?

I Can’t Give Everything Away
On a distant moon, an ancient tradition, the Festival of Secrets Shared. But the Stranger knows some secrets must never be shared, even with those closest to you. Of course, someone asks the wrong question and he must answer...
