The Clones
The TARDIS lands on Earth in the year 2062. The Doctor and Kali discover that a science unit is close to refining human cloning, in secret away from the hands of the law. The Doctor is invited to observe the latest transfusion and together with Kali look on in the auditorium as the process of nuclei transfusion takes place. The Doctor is outraged at the callus care for science, that the mother of the cloned baby may well be in serious trouble and tries to warn the authorities. He is locked up and Kali is left to look after him. Using her freedom of non-intervention to hotwire the communication system she sets up a signal, calling the police to the base. She then helps the Doctor escape but before they can leave the complex the earlier clone mutants break out of their hold and attack. The two travellers are blocked off in a lab, and manage to manufacture a paralysing drug to fight their way out. As the police arrive to arrest the scientists the Doctor and Kali leave quickly in the TARDIS.
And that concludes season 5 / 37.
Thanks, Dominic

OK, I'm back for the next bunch of stories. Hope you like them.
2002 (Season 6 / 38)
The Power of Zorg
The Doctor has accidentally piloted the ship too close to a black hole but after some careful manoeuvring he pulls it back on course and he and Kali land on the planet Baropotamia, where a race of shape-shifting lizards are raiding the crypts of ancient galactic warriors. The lockets of the seven great men, when placed in the main crypt of their leader Zorg, will form a weapon of unimaginable power, a laser capable of destroying entire planets. Six of the seven lockets have been found and a patrol has been sent to retrieve the last. The Doctor and Kali decide to locate it before they do, embarking in the TARDIS to a citadel on the other side of the planet. There they manage to secure the locket but the ship has been stolen. The lizards swap it for the jewel but the Doctor has other ideas. He takes the TARDIS back to the main crypt of Zorg, some time before the lizards will arrive. He uses the six keys still in place to power up the laser, and then collects a series of mirrors to guide the beam towards the main door. Sure enough when the patrol enters the half-powered beam deflects them, causing them to reel back. They drop the locket and the Doctor places it with the others. The beam begins to power up and despite the lizards attempting to remove it, Kali activates the self-destruct mechanism and the Doctor locks it on-course for a black hole. They run back to the TARDIS and leave as the temple explodes, taking the lizard scavengers with it.

Mirror, Mirror
The TARDIS lands on a primitive planet known as Lithon, where the inhabitants have banished all mirrors from the mighty kingdom of the main continent Griol. The Doctor is eager to find out why and after dealing with a black market merchant, manages to buy one. He and Kali wait alone with it in their room at the inn and soon a ghostly figure, resembling a warrior appears fro within it… The warrior takes Kali and pushes the Doctor aside. He rushes away back into the mirror upon his horse. The Doctor manages to follow him through and on the other side finds himself in a castle. The warriors were banished from Lithon by a warlock from whom they had stolen a magic sword. The sword was destroyed some time ago upon its return to the warlock but the warriors, unaware of this, want it back. They have been breaking through to the real world and abducting people, hoping to torture them into explaining where the sword is. The Doctor rescues Kali from her cell and together they try to leave but the portal to the real world has been sealed. They run to hide from advancing warriors and in an abandoned laboratory the Doctor sets to work. Some time after the two Time Lords set to work using the Doctor’s new machine to open the portal. They manage to so but once it lets them through the machine explodes, leaving it open for good. The warriors swarm into the real world and attack the villagers, torturing them and asking where the sword is. The Emperor Sithol warns them it is not here but they persist. As the society of Griol crumbles the Doctor has no idea what to do, until the warlock returns to the city and banishes the warriors once more. He seals them forever in the mirror world and then departs, leaving the Doctor and Kali to take off in the TARDIS once more.

The Army In Space
On a space cargo transport ship deep in space trouble is brewing. A creature is stalking the cargo bays in the bows of the ship and the crew is being wiped out. The TARDIS arrives and the Doctor and Kali set about trying to find out who or what the culprit is. After laying a trap they capture an armoured creature which when unmasked turns out to be a Sontaren… The Sontaren is held in a cell and the Doctor enquires as to what it is doing here, so far away from battle. Kali asks as to why the Doctor knows the creature and he explains that some time ago whilst she was venturing around the ship he managed to access a message from a commander pf the Sontaren army asking for help, which he observed on the scanner was a fake, used to lure innocent ships to be looted. The Sontaren explains this ship is his race’s next conquest, and will be used to lead their fleet in an attack on the Rutan army. The Doctor sets about helping the remaining crew of the ship defend themselves from the advancing scavengers and a battle ensures. The Sontarens board and soon the crew are engaging in armed combat. The Doctor and Kali communicate with them from the main control room and tell them to retreat to where they are based. Soon they are joined by the rest of the crew and together they open one of the air locks, forcing the Sontarens out into space. The cargo is still intact, as is the TARDIS and soon the Doctor and Kali are off into the depths of time and space.

The Storm Demon
The Doctor and Kali land on Earth, in a convent somewhere on an island off the coast of Scotland. They look around the darkened main citadel but nobody seems to be present. They are about to leave when a hooded figure blocks their path. The Doctor inquires as to what is going on but the figure remains silent. He walks over to a stone table that stands in the middle of the room and takes up a knife. He lunges at Kali but the Doctor knocks him aside. Soon they are overcome with other hooded figures and later on, the Doctor awakens in a darkened cell deep underground. His guard explains that they are a cult who worships the ancient demon of Veroth, the master of death, a mignon of Satan. They are looking for a young virgin to sacrifice at the alter as a calling to awaken him and Kali is to be the sacrifice. The Doctor manages to break out with the help of a paper clip, which he uses to pick the lock. He then overcomes the guard and rushes to Kali. He arrives in the main chamber just in time, the ritual has begun and a storm is brewing outside. The sky glows red and Kali screams out, as the Doctor unties her bonds and together they escape, whilst the hooded men bow down to the lightening outside. The Doctor explains that this is no ordinary storm, it is a cosmic storm headed for Earth and it must be stopped. They return to the TARDIS, as the fire bolts destroy the convent and all those inside. Inside the ship the Doctor activates the tractor beam and pulls the eye of the storm away from Earth. The backlash damages the console and as Earth is left to recover, the storm flies off to places unknown and the TARDIS is hurtling out of control...

Not hard to guess where I got the title and ending for this one from if you've read the play A Doctor CallsOn a planet not unlike Earth, a famous Lord has been murdered at a dinner party. The suspects have been held by the police and not allowed to leave the premises. They sit quietly and stare coldly at one another, not noticing the grandfather clock that materialises outside in the hallway. The Doctor steps into the room and is mistaken by the Police Sergeant for the Chief Inspector Goole. He plays along with him and inquires as to the events of the evening. Lord Poppergale had left the dining room to answer a phone call in the library, when he was struck from behind with one of the table lamps. The phone it seems had been disconnected some time before he arrived and was merely a ploy to get him alone. The lamp, it seems has vanished and the Doctor is left to try and convince the sergeant he is solving the case. He and Kali interrogate the three suspects; Lady Poppergale, his wife, Lord Houghton, his close friend, and his wife Lady Houghton. All three of them left the room at some point during Lord Poppergale’s absence, and all of them have no evidence to prove they had not ventured into the Library. Lady Poppergale was in the washroom, powdering her nose, Lord Houghton was outside smoking his pipe and his wife had been placing a napkin she spilt wine on in the laundry basket outside the Library, before looking inside and seeing the dead Lord Poppergale. As the Doctor interrogates them, Kali searches their coats and bags for any traces of the lamp, but to no avail, but as she prepares to leave and rejoin the others, he hears a mumbled voice coming from the distance. As the night rolls on the Doctor is getting nowhere and retires to a bedroom to ponder things over. He suddenly awakens and with a fit of energy bursts out to the stairwell. He screeches for the policemen on guard to stop the housekeeper, ho is about to leave from her shift. They do so and whilst she protests he opens her bag, revealing the lamp. Some time later, the housekeeper has been taken away. The Doctor explains it would have been the housekeeper who answered the phone in the first place, and could have easily concealed herself in the room awaiting her master to enter. Upon killing him she placed the lamp in the laundry basket outside and collected it later. He still has no idea as to her motive, but Kali explains that when she was searching the guest’s coats, she heard a muffled voice mumbling about Lord Poppergale, identifying him as a womaniser; this must have been the housekeeper. He had an affair with her but then broke it off for his own good encase he got caught and now she wants him to pay for passing her by. The mystery solved, the Doctor and Kali depart, having said their farewells to the Police Sergeant. As the TARDIS dematerialises, the front door opens and the real Inspector Goole, late due to a traffic accident, arrives to inspect the scene of the crime... And thus concludes this series, see you soon for the next. Oh and by the way, there’s a synopsis you can access in the fan fiction section called 'The Things We Do For Love... it's got the Ninth Doctor and Rose and if I can edit it enough it might find it's way here some time soon Till then...

OK, after a while away to chase up other things I've got the next season ready. The last (i.e. the one after this one will be a re-write of the Time War series I've already posted, just a bit more detailed. For now here's the penultimate bunch of stories.
2003 (Season 7 / 39)
Behind the Supernova
The Doctor and Kim arrive on a space station where the inhabitants are busy harnessing the energy of a supernova to use to power their Earth’s electricity. The Doctor realises that the supernova is not an ordinary one; there are creatures in a parallel universe trying to break free into our universe. The Doctor uses the TARDIS to contact the creatures but gets no reply whilst Kali meets a scientist named Jacob, whose experiments with telepathy have caused him to loose a lot of his memory. Suddenly his body convulses and he is used to channel the voices of the creatures in the parallel universe. They claim to want to take over this universe, as theirs is soon to die as the energy from the big bang has now run out. The Doctor replies, telling them they must stay behind but as they speak the supernova occurs and the creatures flood through in a thousand battle ships. The Doctor, Kai and Jacob are beamed onboard the mothership as their intelligence is above that of an ordinary human being. The squid like warriors claim to want their minds to enter in their battle computer but the Doctor manages to escape with their friends and beam back to the space station. There the Doctor rigs up a tractor beam, flicks it into reverse and pushes the fleet of ships back into their own universe. However the creatures fight back and begin to open fire on the ship. The Doctor and Kali help arm the ship with greater weapons as the creatures, known as the Grapols, dock. The scientists begin to help them fight back and soon a pitched battle occurs. The Doctor goes back to the alien ships and confronts the leader. He tells him to leave this universe and to not return but he does not listen. He prepares to blast the space station with the fleets laser cannons, but the Doctor runs back to the space station and opens the shields. The blasts are deflected and the fleet is destroyed, and the creatures on the station vaporise because of the lack of contact with their ships, which hold their power sources. As the scientists begin to abort their mission the Doctor and Kali prepare to leave, taking Jacob with them to find his lost memories.

The Things We Do For Love
The Doctor drops Jacob off on the planet Destra, where he is intending to find a wise man known as Possaar, who will help him find his lost memories. The Time Lord and Kali meanwhile return to Earth in the year 2512, where they arrive at Kali’s house in London. Her mother Linda is jubilant her daughter has returned but her old boyfriend Grant is more reserved. He initially gives Kali the cold shoulder but is soon welcoming her back once more. Kali and Grant go shopping for a birthday present for Linda whilst she is left to entertain the Doctor. He tries to reassure her that Kali will be all right with him, he’ll never let her go. Comforted, Linda returns to the living room, but something is waiting for her. Kali and Grant have started arguing, Grant does not trust the Doctor to keep his hands to himself but she simply ignores him, referring to him as pathetic. He goes off into the market as she enters a clothes shop to find Linda a new top. No sooner has she started looking around, an explosion rocks the ground and when she returns outside she discovers a giant hole has appeared in the ground and Grant has been sucked inside. Linda screams as the Doctor wrestles the mutant elf to the ground, and orders it to explain itself. It is Zanik, the prince of a civilisation of mutants, known as the Hish, who live deep within the Earth’s surface. He has come to warn the human race of an invasion by the Morith, a rival tribe fed up of living under the ground and wan to claim the surface for themselves. Kali rushes in explaining Grant has disappeared but stops in her tracks at the sight of Zanik. The Doctor explains and after she tells him about the hole in the ground the two of them, followed by a distraught Linda run back to the high street. Once there they descend deep into the ground and find themselves in a cave system which stretches for miles. Linda wanders off and gets lost, leaving Kali to find her. The Doctor carries on, towards a light in the distance, but is stopped when Jacob materialises before him. The wise man on Destra knows nothing of his past but instead warned him of the danger on Earth and teleported him there. He offers his help and the two men advance towards the light, stalling only when they hear two screams. They run faster and emerge in a giant cavern, a gigantic ball of light suspended before them, an unconscious Kali, Grant and Linda all held before them by chains dangling from the ceiling. The Morith are preparing to unleash the light out on Earth, and burn out the minds on mankind. They summon the remaining energy and countdown to mount their attack. The Doctor and Jacob manage to wake Kali but Linda and Grant remain still. The three travellers then set about distracting the Morith. Kali throws a rock into the light ball, causing a flux, which knocks out a crowd of the creatures; Jacob begins stunning them with a laser gun he was given back on Destra and the Doctor links his mind to the light, dispelling it into tiny traces around the cave system. The furious Morith run towards him, and as he retreats he is joined by Kali and Jacob, who are carrying the still unconscious Linda and Grant. They get back to the surface where the army are waiting. They run to safety as the Morith emerge and run riot, attacking the soldiers and the civilians that stand nearby. The Doctor manages to summon the energy of the light once more and aims it at the Morith attackers. They are either all knocked back into the hole or disintegrated completely. They continue to emerge, and the Doctor realises more needs to be done. He gets Kali and Jacob to stand at other positions around the hole and links their minds to the light source as well. They create a giant barrier, which covers the hole sucking the creatures back into the hole and keeping them trapped inside. They realise their work is done and prepare to leave, as a UNIT official walks among the crowds trying to explain the incident was all a big street show, purely for amusement; “alien invasion madam? What nonsense!” Some time after, Kali is watching over the sleeping Linda, as she returns to health. She deposits a goodbye note on her bedside table, along with her birthday present, a new top and a shining alien crystal. She kisses her mum on the head then leaves, walking along the sunset-lit estate. She returns to Grant’s flat to discover he is waking up. She explains she is about to leave and he weakly protests. She explains she will never leave him, she will always return to see him and never forget him. He smiles and kisses her goodbye. Yet as she leaves in the TARDIS with the Doctor and some new bloke they seem to have picked up, he doubts her final words to him, and decides that perhaps it is time to move on. He looks to the sky before setting off outside, not knowing what to do.

Creatures of the Lava
The TARDIS materialises in a crumbling building, carved into a mountain on a desolate planet where mutants roam the ancient streets looking for food. The Doctor, Kali and Jacob emerge from the shape and walk slowly around the maze of corridors and staircases. They emerge on a balcony, where they are taken aback by what they see; the landscape far before them is crumbling into a sea of lava, the bubbling surface glows before them, and a mutant emerges from the shadows behind, grabbing Kali…
Jacob tries to wrestle the creature off, as the Doctor tries to pull Kali from the mutant’s grasp. They are all shocked by a gunshot ringing out, and the mutant collapses, screeching in pain. They turn to see a withered man, tall and sinister, standing in the shadows with his gun raised. He lowers it to his side and puts it back in his pocket, before ushering them to follow him as he walks away towards a staircase. They follow him, through hallways and more staircases, until they pass through a secret passageway into a grand laboratory, where the walls rock walls seem illuminated in deep green and blue light by ancient lanterns. Tables and cabinets stored with odd glass jars, filled with liquids and shrivelled organs litter the main part of the room, whilst a small set of steps lead up to a giant bubbling cauldron. The man puts down his gun and introduces himself as Baior, a scientist from the original civilisation who used to inhabit the planet, before the earthquakes destroyed many of the continents and mutated those who came into touch with it. Alone in his laboratory he is left to fend for himself, occasionally fighting off the invading mutants who come scavenging for food. The Doctor examines the jars and test tubes, the complex muddles of tubes and flasks, different coloured liquids flowing around in them. Kali shivers, and Jacob merely examines the corridor beyond the secret passageway. Baior tends to the glowing cauldron, adding vials and jars of different substances inside, before stirring them into the thick congealed contents inside, which changes colour with each addition. Soon the Doctor decides it is time to leave, and together with Kali and an armed Jacob, they depart, Baior merely nodding them as they depart. The Doctor gives him one last suspicious look and then joins his friends in the hallway. They slowly make their way back towards the balcony, creeping past the flickering candles, feet scraping along the stone floors. Suddenly, another mutant attacks them and Jacob fires his gun. The creature reels but it is too late, others have joined them and swarm the three travellers. Kali screams and falls to the floor. Jacob fires his gun frantically and the Doctor fights of the creatures with his fists. Suddenly he activates the Sonic Screwdriver, and the mutants step back, bemused. The Time Lord then helps Kali up and joins Jacob and tells him to return to the laboratory. They do so, the mutants following slowly and soon enough they are back in the laboratory, Baior simply glancing up from the cauldron as they slam the door shut. The Doctor turns to him as Jacob guards the door and walks up to look at the cauldron. In side something is forming. He looks at the shadowed Baior and runs to a nearby bookcase. He reaches for a book and finds a bookmark inside. He reads down the marked page and look up in terror. Kali asks what is wrong and the Doctor explains. Baior is creating another mutant. He shows her the book and sure enough it details a series of instructions for forming elementary life itself from dismembered organs, complex chemicals from deep within the planet and pure blood. The Doctor realises the mutants are not rogue monsters, but Baior’s servants. He runs to stop him from adding a vial of blood to the cauldron but the scientist repels him back with his gun. He pours the contents into the vial inside and the thick mixture inside starts bubbling furiously. Jacob turns to see what is happening, and the moment his back is turned, the door is bashed down and the mutants enter. They encircle the cauldron and watch, as another creature, bigger and stronger than any other, slowly emerges from within. Kali screams and the Doctor stands dumfounded, as it steps out into the open and roars. Outside the thunder rumbles across the sky and the cry of the beast can be heard from miles, along with the maniacal laughs of Baior…
The Doctor is speechless, as the newly formed head mutant walks out of the laboratory and out into the corridors, followed by the rest of his tribe. Baior watches them go before turning to the Doctor. The Time Lord stares, filled with rage. He explodes with anger, screaming that nobody has the right to control life itself. Baior ignores him, and explains that with an army of powerful mutants no man shall stand in his way. He exploded the volcanoes to bring the chemicals from within the planet to the surface in order to extract them and use them in the experiments. His own people died so that a super race could be born to take their place, to once again make the planet of Zoxier a force to be dealt with. Jacob finally realises, the war-like people of Zoxier once ruler half of the galaxy, before a civil disturbance broke their empire to dust. Baior explains his mutant will be sent to distant worlds to revive the Zoxian Empire. Kali is confused, how could what appears to be such a primitive planet hold any decent form of transport? Baior explains that deep within the citadel in which they stand is a fleet of ships, preserved from the lava flows to one day be revived and returned to glory. He steps down from the cauldron and walks to the exit, motioning for the three travellers to follow him. They make their way deep down into the surface of the planet, where the temperature is rising. Baior approaches a shiny out-of-place metal door. He enters an access code and the door opens, revealing a fleet of ships, with mutants swarming to board them. The scientist then make sis way over to the head of the fleet as the furious Doctor and his two friends look on. He opens the boarding hatch to revel the recently formed chief mutant onboard. He orders him to get out but it roars and punches him to the ground. Baior protests, but the Doctor gravely explains that he was wrong to think he could breed and control life. Everything must find it’s own way. The mutants swarm Baior as he yells for them to obey. They raise their clawed arms and swoop down. Baior’s screams ring out as the mutants free themselves from their master. Kali flinches as Baior’s dismembered head falls to the floor and the mutants resume their places in the space fleet. Jacob asks what is to be done but the Doctor has already taken action. He is inspecting an air vent and busily starts zapping it with the Sonic Screwdriver, pulling it from the wall. He crawls inside, followed by Kali and Jacob and emerges in a magma chamber. He explains they need to disturb the dormant magma and Kali comes into light. She detaches an alien necklace Jacob gave to her soon after they first met and throws it down into the bubbling orange liquid. It begins to swirl and rise up the rock face. The three travellers then retreat, back to the flight bay where the mutants are preparing to leave and then back into the labyrinth of corridors. As the whole citadel begins to shake, they race to the TARDIS where they hurriedly get inside and take off. Back in the flight bay the wall holding the air vent explodes with lava, engulfing the fleet and melting them to dust. The planet is slowly engulfed by the lava from the many volcanoes, which explode across the surface of the globe. The Doctor turns away and tends to the controls. Kali collapses onto one of the seats and Jacob sinks to the floor. The TARDIS flies deep into space as the planet Zoxier crumbles to dust.

Beware The Palidor
Kali and Jacob are on a space station orbiting Mars, after receiving a distress call. The Doctor has gone to deal with another problem, whilst they try to find out who is behind bringing them here. They soon discover that a frightened scientist has sent the signal, and they find him cowering in his laboratory. He warns them of the Palidor, before dropping dead with fear. Jacob sets about searching for whatever the Palidor might be, whilst Kali leaves to warn the captain of the ship that there is trouble afoot. He ignores her and sends her on her way, but as soon as she is gone, he is attacked from an unseen predator. Jacob has been looking around the hull for the beast but to no avail. He is joined by Kali who admits she has failed in her task to. They are about to continue searching when they hear a blood-curdling scream. They run back up into the main ship interior to find another scientist dead, his neck gnawed away. They find a small liquid trail, leading away from the crime and follow it back to below deck. There they discover a sluggish creature, whimpering in the corner. This is the Palidor, a creation of the scientist who sent the distress signal. It is suffering great pain, managing to survive only by drinking the blood of other members of the crew, and hating himself for doing it. It tears it's own mind apart, between begging Jacob to kill it and advancing to kill Kali. Jacob eventually does the deed and the Palidor explodes in a pool of slime. The trouble over, the two friends walk back to above deck and explain all to the second-in-command. Soon they are waiting on an observation deck, looking down to the planet Mars, talking of Jacob's past experiments and Kali's life with the Doctor before he arrived. Soon their conversation is interrupted as the TARDIS materialises next to them, the Doctor emerging to greet them. Soon they are all-together again inside the ship, explaining what has happened in each other's absence and before long depart once more, heading out back to the Time Vortex.

They Think It’s All Over
Jacob asks to see more of the Earth's past and so the Doctor takes the TARDIS back to 1966, to watch the World Cup Final. They arrive at the stadium and watch as the players walk out onto the pitch. However, things are not all they seem. The referee's eyes are lowing red and when Kali decides to 'take a walk’; she follows him down to a boiler room. There he consults a skeleton-like creature, clothed only is a black gown. He tasks to his 'master' and explains the bomb will go off in just under two hours time. Kali gasps and runs, as the possessed referee turns to find the source of the noise. Kali returns to the stands and warns the Doctor and Jacob, who think she's just imagining it. However, when they too see the less-than-ordinary referee step out onto the side of the pitch, they decide to find out what is going on. They travel down to the boiler room and watch as the skeleton creature reports to his superior officer, a half-mangled life form who resides on a spaceship orbiting the moon. He explains all of the Earth bombs are in place and will be detonated soon. He signs off, only to turn and find the Doctor, Jacob and Kali awaiting him. He is Zarin, of the Mugandow tribe from the planet Kilorew. They plan to inhabit the Earth (their own planet dying and on the point of destruction) and the bombs, which are planted across the globe, will clear the planet of all human life. The Doctor steals the detonator and runs, Kali and Jacob behind him. Zarin follows, but when they rush out into the open he realises he cannot risk being seen. He recalls the referee he has possessed and tells him to find them, and retrieve the device. Soon it is half time at the match and the Doctor, Kali and Jacob decide to find something to eat. Soon they are at a food stand, looking out for any signs of danger. Kali spots the referee lurking around not far away and when he spots them, rushes to retrieve the device. However, Jacob has a plan and runs up to the referee, asking for an autograph. The other punters are soon doing the same and the three travellers run off, their pursuer safely behind them. Back in the stands the second half is under way, and whilst Kali and Jacob enjoy the match, the Doctor tries to disarm the device he has stolen. Soon he has managed to send out a signal that will disarm the bombs, but realises Zarin will no doubt have another trick up his sleeve. In the last few minutes of the game, the referee jumps the Doctor from behind, scaring the crowd with his glowing eyes. They rush forward, onto the pitch as the match draws to a close, the doctor still struggling to get free. The referee takes Jacob's gun, which he keeps for emergencies ever since he started travelling with the Doctor and realising what troubles it holds, and escorts the travellers back down to the boiler room, where Zarin re-arms the bombs using the detonator. He prepares to detonate, but Jacob takes his gun back and shoots the device out of his hand. It falls to the floor and Kali stamps on it, leaving the bombs disarmed forever. Jacob and Zarin struggle as the Doctor tampers with the communication control panel, and sends out a signal warning the Mugandow to retreat, Earth is armed and dangerous, this is no place to set up life. Believing the message to be from Zarin the Mugandow retreat, looking for another home. Zarin meanwhile continues to wrestle with Jacob, but falls from a gantry to his death, where his bones crumble to dust. The hold over the caretaker is released and he rushes away. The Doctor shuts down and locks the communication control panel and hides it away behind a massive boiler. He, Kali and Jacob then return to the stadium; to bask in the glory of England's victory.

The Prisoner
The TARDIS is called to a prison ship, drifting through space. Once onboard the travellers are welcomed by Captain Morris, an Earth prison warden from the distant future. He has met the Jacob once before, when he worked for the same science base. He is introduced to the Doctor and Kali before explaining his problem. The ship’s drive plate is damaged and unless an important prisoner they are transporting to their mothership is not delivered within a few hours, the entire quadrant will be thrown into disarray. He gives them door passes and takes them to see the prisoner, who stands in a cage, armed by guards in a room of blinding light. He is dressed in a white prison uniform and stares at the travellers as they enter. The Doctor recognises him immediately. His name is Xertran, an intergalactic ruler who turned his people over to the Daleks during an intergalactic war. Xertran stares longingly at Kali, who is drawn into his gaze. Captain Morris announces they must tend to the drive plate and the Doctor departs, Sonic Screwdriver in hand. Jacob and Kali retire to the barracks, where the scientist warns his friend that Xertran is not to be trusted, from what the Doctor told him he can twist even the most strong minded around his little finger, and she should try to avoid him. She shrugs off his advice, nothing gets past her. Yet that night she can’t sleep. She tosses and turns and eventually gets up. Dazed and confused, she wanders out into the corridor ad soon she is in Xertran’s chamber. The guards seem not to notice as she stumbles towards the cage and collapses before the standing Xertran. He kneels down and caresses her neck, then reaches into her jacket. The Doctor then rushes in and pulls her to safety. The guards snap to action and Xertran is stunned down. Later, the Doctor and Kali sit alone in the barracks, Jacob sound asleep in the bunk above. Kali explains that she seemed to be under some sort of trance, and the Doctor comforts her, Xertran must have hypnotised her when they first saw him, and explains that now she has come round the link should be broken and as long as she does not visit his chamber again she’ll be safe. Some time later, the Doctor has nearly finished repairing the ship’s drive plate and is putting his tools away when an alarm rings out. He rushes out into the corridor to find Kali and Jacob looking for him. They explain that Xertran has escaped, using Kali’s door pass which he stole the night she visited him. Managing quickly augment it whilst under his duvet at night, he opened his cage, ran out the cell door which had just been opened by a guard and dodged his way down to the docking bay where he stole an escape pod. Jacob promises the frantic Captain Morris that he, the Doctor and Kali will catch him in the TARDIS and moments later they are in the control room, taking of. The Doctor pilots the ship as Jacob traces Xertran’s pod on the radar and Kali checks their co-ordinates on a map. Soon they are hurtling along through space, gaining on the small escape pod in the distance. Suddenly, the pod turns and opens fire of the ship. The Doctor violently pulls the TARDIS out of the line of fire and activates the traction beam that is masked as the light on top of the police box exterior. He slingshots the ship down towards a nearby moon and then brings the ship into land. Outside on the rocky surface, the pod has crashed and Xertran lays injured. The three travellers exit and find his flailing body. Jacob returns to the TARDIS to contact Captain Morris and tell him Xertran has been recaptured. A transport shuttle is dispatched but as Jacob prepares to step outside he is struck in the head by Kali, who is holding an already blood covered rock. As she steps over to the console, he stumbles outside to see the Doctor recovering from a nasty blow to the head and Xertran focusing his mind on controlling Kali. He prepares to open fire but the Doctor is one step ahead. He launches at Xertran and wrestles him to the ground, strangling him. He orders him to let Kali go and sure enough the young girl is freed and rejoins her friends outside. Jacob ties Xertran up and covers him with a gun, whilst the Doctor comforts a hysterical Kali, who still cannot believe what she has done to her friends. He explains she’s OK now, it’s over. Later on, aboard the prison ship Xertran is being transferred over to the mothership, which has now been reached and docked with. Captain Morris bids farewell to the Doctor, Kali and Jacob and then watches as they depart in the TARDIS. Inside the time machine, the three weary travellers plot course for their next landing, Disney Land. It’s time for a holiday…

And the last one for this season; The Storms of VengeanceInstead of a holiday the travellers arrive on a desolate planet where the humanoid inhabitants live below the surface for fear of storms. The Doctor investigates the reason for the storms and he realises they emanate from a mountain on the far side of the planet. He, Jacob and Kali travel to the mountain and find a mutant humanoid using a powerful tractor beam to destroy the others who made him an outcast. He was injured in a scientific incident and not only began to physically mutate but also began to warp mentally. He has the ability to read minds and sure enough he does so to Jacob, giving him back his memories, his life back on Earth and the happiness he once knew. The Doctor tires to reason with the creature, telling him that he must reason with the others to allow him back into society but the creature turns violent and attacks him. Jacob tries to protect him but the creature throws him to the floor. He smashes his skull and as Kali tends to him he breathes his last and dies, happy to know who he really was and the happy life he once led. The Doctor turns on the creature and attacks him, enraged at what has happened but the creature has other ideas. He forces a storm to rage down on the base and runs out, locking the door behind him leaving the two remaining travellers to fend alone. The Doctor bashes down the door and pursues him, calling after Kali to follow but she remains in the base, comforting the dead Jacob. As the Doctor runs the storm hits, destroying the base with Kali inside in a ball of flame. Distraught the Doctor runs on. He catches up with the creature and they begin to fight, hanging over a cliff top. The Doctor throws the creature over the side and defiantly looks on, before breaking down at the loss of his companions. He returns to the underground city and glumly explains the storms will no longer plague them, and as they return to the surface he takes off, alone. In the console room he glumly sets course for Earth to tell Kali’s mother Linda what has happened, but suddenly the cloister bell rings and the room shakes. The Doctor looks on at the scanner as it tells him he is being called back to Gallifrey…there is trouble afoot… So that'll be it for a while, I’ll be working on the final series over the next few weeks although if time allows a lot sooner. N.B. If Jacob seems a bit militant in some of the stories, it's because these tales were originally meant for the Ninth Doctor, Rose and Jack. Jacob was a late addition to explain the appearance of another companion. It was too difficult to write the third regular character out and so he was edited in and I've not had as much time as I'd hoped to edit the stories to fit his character more, just add in a few throwaway lines. Apart from that I hoped you like them, as ever all comments are welcome

Ever considered going into scriptwriting? I have but I thought no because it'd be unlikely that I'd finish them!
