Doctor Who

When the Doctor and Rose stumble across thirteen-year-old Lily, they both agree she needs their help. 
 
Lily thinks there are monsters in the closet, hiding under the bed. And that they've taken her mother and brother - who went missing months ago. 
 
When asked about the monster, Lily can only say it's made of immense light and power. Rose and the Doctor must find out who and what the creature is, and where it's taken Lily's family. 
 
It is a search that will take them from the Cardiff Rift right back to the childhood of Lily's grandmother, and another disappearance all those years ago . . .

Doctor Who: The Monster in the Cupboard

a 2000s story

Dave Rudden

It's Dublin in 1994, and the Doctor and Donna have arraived at the tiny nightclub known as Headlong. 
 
Headlong is famous for precisely one thing - holding the karaoke night where four young women came together to make the biggest girl band of the 90s: the Honeybloods. 
 
Donna has convinced the Doctor to visit their first ever concert (she reckons she could have been one of them if the timelines were different) - and he has begrudgingly agreed. 
 
Naturally the band is kidnapped by a deadly pack of siren-like creatures who adapt to and feed off human adulation, usually harvested by taking the form of cultural icons. 
 
With Dublin and the world to save, Donna may get her chance to perform on the world's biggest stage . . .

It is London, 1978, and tensions are high. Seema and her family are struggling, but she has learnt to keep her head down, not create trouble. 
 
That is until she and her two friends, Terrence and Inderjit, decide to join an anti-National Front protest in the East End. 
 
And when trouble does inevitably find them, the friends are saved by the appearance of a mysterious, seemingly broken-down bus. 
 
But inside this bus it is like nothing any of them have ever seen. It is a journey through the most wonderful landscapes, where visions of hopes and dreams envelop the lost group. 
 
Who - or what - is this strange place? The tall, grumpy man with white hair might know the answers, but then he also seems just as scared as they are . . .

Sarah Jane doesn't know who she is any more. 
 
She's applied for a job as a secretary at a run-of-the-mill office, with just one other co-worker. 
 
He’s nice enough. A little strange, a little charming, clearly an innovator. For a snappy dresser, though (Sarah loves the scarf) he’s strangely quiet. 
 
That’s because, of course, he’s the Doctor. Working with UNIT to try to restore Sarah’s memories, he’s found himself battling an alien group harvesting the minds of unsuspecting victims. 
 
But he’s already on the back foot, and as the alien hive mind draws in its followers, he’s very much in need of a friend. 
 
Enter legendary musician Fela Kuti. Another innovator – just as challenging, and just as charming. He might just be the one the save the human race.

A poem of tragedy and beauty . . . 
 
The Weeping Angels are an ancient race of terrible power. 
 
With the ability to propel their victims backwards in time, their true form is a mystery - they turn to stone on sight. So they wander the universe, cursed never to see one another. 
 
But they see everything else: the whole course of time and space - even the journey of their deadliest enemy, the Doctor. 
 
In this extraordinary, epic poem, the Weeping Angels sing the story of the years they've battled the Doctor, and everything in between, as - like a Greek Chorus - they tell the world with their tragic tale.
