The Alice in Wonderland Circuit was a Doctor Who Adventures comic story featuring the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble.
Summary
A faulty circuit causes Donna and the Doctor to grow in size.
Plot
The Doctor and Donna are in the TARDIS when a power spike occurs. The TARDIS rerouted the energy to keep the essential systems circuits away from harm, but left the less-important circuits at risk. When of the circuits blows, causing the TARDIS to attempt an emergency landing. It turns out the dimensional interface override nicknamed The Alice in Wonderland Circuit. has been damaged, causing the Doctor and Donna to increase in size to twelve to thirteen feet. (The circuit is designed to regulate the interplay between the real world and the dimensions within the TARDIS.)
The TARDIS lands in "the middle of nowhere" and Donna describes their location as on a mountain, next to a little shack. The Doctor correctly identifies a rather annoyed, old man as Minos. Minos speaks up, only to remember that he was on a seven year vow of silence. The Doctor deduces that the TARDIS landed on the mountain to seek the help of Minos, who owns parts for time machines. Minos had given up trading parts, but had retained anything he had owned for nostalgic purposes. They arrange a trade - Donna in her increased stature will fix Minos' roof in exchange for the needed parts to repair the Dimensional Interface Override. They go through with the trade, and say farewell as the Doctor and Donna depart in the TARDIS.
Characters
References
- The dimensional interface override is also known as the "Alice in Wonderland circuit". This is based off the fact that once turned off, this circuit causes fluctations in height, not unlike Alice when she drunk and eat the magic food and drink at the start of the titular book.
Notes
- The DWA comic strip adventures were aimed at a younger audience and the artwork and colours were bold and bright, reflecting the tone of the magazine.
- Self contained, one part stories were the norm in the early issues, later being expanded to two-parters.
