Part One
FADE IN:
EXT. YOUTUBE STUDIO – DAY
A group of hosts from different ‘Doctor Who’ podcasts are seen rushing into the studio. They are Liam, Rob, Matt, Luke, and Harry.
LIAM: (to Rob) I still can’t believe you’re the CEO of Poundzone.
ROB: (smiling) Well, somebody’s gotta run the place.
MATT: (to Liam) Hey, did you get a chance to check out that mysterious box you received?
LIAM: (shaking his head) No, not yet. I was too busy switching teams from Newcastle to Sunderland.
LUKE: (to Harry) Nice outfit. What’s the occasion?
HARRY: (pointing to his trilby hat) This is in honor of Mr. TARDIS. And the rest of the outfit is for my gig last night.
Suddenly, a super fan dressed as a Dalek bursts into the studio, brandishing a plunger.
SUPER FAN: (shouting) Nobody move! I demand to speak to Mark and Iain from ‘All of Time and Space’!
The hosts look at each other in confusion.
ROB: (pointing to himself) I’m Rob from ‘Cloister Bell.’ And this is Liam, Matt, Luke, and Harry.
SUPER FAN: (disappointed) Oh… well, I guess you’ll have to do. I’m taking one of you hostage until I can get a hold of Mark and Iain.
The hosts panic and try to run, but the super fan grabs Liam and pulls him towards the exit.
LIAM: (screaming) Help! Somebody help me!
FADE OUT.
END OF PART ONE.
Part Two
FADE IN:
EXT. YOUTUBE STUDIO – DAY
The remaining hosts, Matt, Rob, Luke, and Harry, are in a state of shock as they watch the super fan drag Liam out of the studio.
MATT: (to Rob) What are we going to do?
ROB: (thinking quickly) We need to call the police.
HARRY: (shaking his head) No, we can’t do that. We’re supposed to be live in ten minutes. We’ll lose our audience if we cancel now.
LUKE: (nodding) He’s right. We need to figure out a way to rescue Liam and still do the show.
ROB: (looking at Harry’s outfit) Wait a minute. Harry, you’re wearing a cloak. Maybe we can use that to disguise one of us as the super fan and sneak into his hideout.
HARRY: (skeptical) Are you sure that’s going to work?
ROB: (determined) It’s worth a shot.
LUKE: (to Matt) We need to find out where the super fan is holding Liam. Can you use your tech skills to track him down?
MATT: (nodding) I’ll do my best.
The hosts quickly get to work, with Matt hacking into the super fan’s computer and Luke and Harry helping Rob create a disguise. Meanwhile, Rob sneaks out to get a closer look at the super fan’s hideout.
CUT TO:
INT. SUPER FAN’S HIDEOUT – DAY
Liam is tied up in a chair, looking scared.
LIAM: (to the super fan) What do you want from us?
SUPER FAN: (grinning) I just want to talk to Mark and Iain. They’re the only true experts on ‘Doctor Who.’
LIAM: (rolling his eyes) Yeah, good luck with that.
Suddenly, the door bursts open and Rob enters, dressed as the super fan.
ROB: (in a convincing Dalek voice) I have returned, my friend.
The super fan turns around, surprised.
SUPER FAN: (suspicious) Who are you?
ROB: (still in character) I am your fellow Dalek. I have brought you a gift.
Rob hands the super fan a box, which he eagerly opens.
SUPER FAN: (excited) The Ainley Master’s tissue compression eliminator! This is amazing!
ROB: (smiling) Yes, it is. And now, we must go back to the studio. The other Daleks are waiting for us.
The super fan nods eagerly and grabs his plunger, following Rob out the door.
CUT TO:
INT. YOUTUBE STUDIO – DAY
The remaining hosts are nervously waiting for Rob’s return. Suddenly, he bursts in, followed by the super fan.
ROB: (to the super fan) Welcome, fellow Dalek.
The other hosts look at Rob, confused.
MATT: (whispering) Is that Rob?
LUKE: (whispering back) I think so.
ROB: (to the super fan) Now, let’s release Liam and get on with the show.
The super fan unties Liam, and the hosts all gather around the desk.
LIAM: (to Rob) How did you do that?
ROB: (smiling) It’s all in the disguise.
HARRY: (to the camera) Welcome back to ‘After Who,’ where anything can happen.
The hosts all smile and wave at the camera as the screen fades to black.
FADE OUT.
