There were aspects of writing this story that were a lot of fun. Getting to do dialogue for these two was really fun. You have to know we were doing the voices out loud as we were working it out. It's up for debate who does the better impression.

So if you haven't figured it out yet, this isn't just a Doctor Who parody. When we decided to do Who, we wanted to hit the main story tropes. And one of the big ones is the so called 'Monster of the Week'. The characters come to a place and it's plagued by some sort of monstrous creature. Sure does sound like a popular cartoon featuring a gang of mystery solvers and their dog.

We just decided to flip the script a bit.
