They all piled into the limo; the two gargoyles bagged the back, Francis was happy to lounge on the third row, and Joan and Scatty sat in the middle; the red head woman was clutching her big bag, and The Old One sat almost at the front: now they were ready to go.
‘How long will this take?’ asked Scatty, ‘will we need a hotel, perhaps?’– ‘honestly, don’t be silly,’ said the nearer gargoyle, ‘I estimate it’ll take six hours,’ while looking around at the chauffeur.
But before the chauffeur could speak, The Old One said: ‘I know who you are,’ as everyone turned to look at him; meanwhile the other gargoyle said: ‘well, we thought he was an actor, right from the start.’
The chauffeur glided to a stop, then turned around taking his shades off; ‘I have been an actor for many years, and yes, I’m not able to do it anymore, I’m not dead, nor a vampire, no, I’m an immortal, but never mind that.’
The Old One almost shouted: ‘you’ve been in many, many Dracula films haven’t you – and rather raunchy back in the day, but my favourite film (two actually) was the Doctor – you were Doctor Who.’
‘Oh yes,’ as he smiled back, ‘I remember that machine… the TARDIS, great wasn’t it,’ then The Old One added, ‘I had a bit part, I was an extra in that, I was a Dalek, no speaking part but I was very hostile and menacing… oh, happy days!’

Peter Cushing was an amazing actor.
And with him on the driver’s seat along with Lana on the radio, I’d say you are pretty well set uo, Chris!

I think this one might run for a bit. What fun!

Excellent story telling, although I will admit I am late to the game.
There’s no such thing as being late for a brilliant rendition of Summertime, though is there?

Glad you enjoy that, Diana. I guess the Doctors (there have been many) are very British. Hard to know where to start! So we will stick to Peter Cushing as an actor for this!!

There are all kinds of bizarre characters in these stores: the dead, the vampires and now the immortals.
I wonder if I could play the part of a Dalek if I could fit inside the container.

Yes, I am afraid there are lots of weird characters (but fun). I’ve been thinking about the Daleks, and probably the gargoyles could get in to them, but something tells me… no, don’t do it!

I think the only time I’ve really heard of Dr Who is when it comes up in a crossword puzzle 😬 But interesting to see what happens next to all the characters!

Aha, I hadn’t realised that Doctor Who was very English and not anywhere else. So that was interesting – I will need to make sure that the characters will make sense around what is happening! But, no problem, I’m sure (I think).🤔
