Inside the tardis,

the doctor spins around, a huge grin on his face.

Doctor : See? It's not just a blue box. Ohh sexy I love you

Guy (nudges Will) : did he just call this thing sexy?

Will : Yes... I think - I think he did

Meanwhile the doctor continues, stroking the console sensuously, purring with boyish delight

Guy and Will : Yep. He did.

Johnny stands, twirling his finger by his ear

Johnny : Cucoo, someones a few eggs short of a basket.

the doctor looks back at him, anger colours his expression

Doctor : What?

Guy, Johnny and Will (jump) : Nothing

Doctor : Good, otherwise I'd shove you out the door and leave you stuck here.... (twiddling with some buttons) right then... where are we going? Oh here we go, 42. Hold on tiiiiiiiight!

The pillar begins to rise and fall and the familiar whirring begins, Guy, Johnny and Will run willy nilly around trying to find something to hold on to,

But..

Johnny : Nothing has happened guys,

Guy (checks himself, and sighs) : Phew, that was a close one

Doctor : Oh.. we're here, I thought we were going further than that. Sorry chaps.

Will (still holding onto a bar at the outer area of the ship) : you could've told me, I thought we were going to go shooting off into space like some crazy-

Doctor (bemused) : no, why would you think that?

Will (looks down at his shoes) : Sorry.

The doctor bounds over to the door, gripping the handles tight. He turns dramatically to the group

Doctor : Prepare for a new world!!

The doors swing open, outside is a particularly crowded London street, with skyscrapers and the London eye just within reach.

Just down the road.

Will, Guy & Johnny : The O2 arena?

Will : I've seen that plenty of times

the eyes of passers by snap onto the tardis, everyone procedes to excitedly crowd the box.

The doctor (looking nervously at the crowd) : have you done something wrong? What's happening? WHO ARE THEY?

Will, Guy & Johnny : Fans.

the doctor (looking wide eyed at the crowd) : But they look like PEOPLE! Amazing disguises!

Guy : no, they're FANS, we're in a band.

The doctor : Oh are we? What do I play? I am quite good at the kazoo,

the doctor (proceeds to run to his box of rubbish, and rummaging through he shouts) Gotcha (the doctor puts the instrument in his mouth, blowing loudly.)

Guy : shut up.

The doctor looks shamefaced at his feet, blushing.

The people nearly barge through them, a group of girls in particular are very aggressive looking

Girl 1 : OMG GUY! I LOVE YOU GUY!

Girl 2 : It's pretty obvious he loves me though, don't you Guy huh?

Guy waves at them and they scream like banshees

Guy (whispering to the doctor) : Just play along

Doctor : okay, (pulls his kazoo from his pocket)

the girls notice him and begin to yell

Girls : Who the hell is he? Has Chris had a makeover or something?

Girl 2 : Actually I don't think that's Chris

Will : Girls, Chris is in the back. This is one of our um... tour managers.

The doctor is blowing chirpily at his kazoo, the girls laugh

Girl 1 : good job he's not in the band, or I wouldn't have come.

Girl 2 : nuh uh, but the rest of you are awesome!

Girl 1 : when's your new album coming out?

Girl 2 : How long will it be? I want it to last forever, at least 40 songs. Come on guys.

Johnny : Chris and I are working on stuff between shows and stuff.

Girl 2 turns to face the growing crowd, a huge grin on her face

Girl 1 : DID YOU HEAR THAT? CHRIS AND JOHNNY ARE WORKING ON NEW SONGS!!

Girl 2 : And they're going to play some of them to us!

Will and Guy : n-n-no we're not,

Will : Umm.. can you stop surrounding us like this?

A particularly cheeky paparazzi who has been circling the box for some time excitedly pushes through to the front of the crowd and takes a picture, the flash going off right in the doctor's face making him jump.

Doctor : Oh look, lightning, we'd best be going BYE!

the doctor recedes from the group and pulls them back, looking grimly at the door.

How do you deal with that?

Will, Guy & Johnny : you get used to it.

Doctor : that? HOW CAN ANYONE GET USED TO THAT?

Johnny : well we've been dealing with it for nigh on 10 years.

Doctor : don't you wish you had a tardis? Anyway, I made a mistake with the collaboration

Guy : and you tell us that now because?

Doctor : I was playing Kazoo back there, I couldn't

Guy : and why were you doing that?

Doctor : YOU ASKED ME TO PLAY ALONG, SO I DID!

Guy : I meant act normal, or can't you do that? We almost got crushed!

Doctor : it was a bit of a squeeze, but I got you back in here right? Right?

Guy : Yes, but not befo-

Will raises his hands and shouts

Will : GUY! (points to the doctor)... other, guy..

Doctor : Call me the doctor.

Will : Doctor... Will you please shut it! I don't want you guys arguing. We need to find Chris, or have you forgotten about that?

Guy : No

Johnny & Will : So let's go!

Johnny : Doctor

Doctor : Oh sorry...

The doctor rushes to the console and begins to tap again,

BACK TO 42!

By the way, this might go off with a bit of a bump.
