Description

A short spoof of BBC's Doctor Who. The Doctor is seen in his lab preparing fuel for his TADRIS [sic], then once fuelled, he lands on a modern suburban street and enters a home. As he explores the house he is amazed by its modern appliances and has to drink whiskey to calm his nerves. Two passing policemen arrive and breathalyse the Doctor, but before he can be taken to the station he escapes in his TADRIS.
