The Doctor's Scheme

The TARDIS looked like an extra-tall plastic machine, hinged to open, much like a soda dispenser, but kept its essential police-box "texture". The Doctor and a companion were being abducted by a criminal group in the 1980s, but he had a plan.

It all hinged on simultaneous parallel worlds somehow combining - for example, a character with a brother in one world (under one set of circumstances) had a different brother in the other. One character was waiting to hear a particular song, which the Doctor sang into the history of the world.

We were driven around New York City at night, as these threads came together.

Eventually we ended up on Gallifrey, or certainly on some other planet, where people who'd lost their way or who needed someplace to go were able to contribute to the production of pizza - they'd bake pizzas using the equipment found there.
