== Summary ==
Children In Need host Terry Wogan and The Sky At Night presenter Patrick Moore, witness twenty Doctor Who stars emerging from the TARDIS, before three of The Doctors argue about a cheque that reveals a link to the Doctor Who Appreciation Society, Blackpool and a DWAS member in the audience, known as The Man In Blue.
It is November 22nd, 1985. ''Children In Need'' host [[Terry Wogan]] and ''The Sky At Night'' presenter [[Patrick Moore]] walk over to the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] prop, with Moore asking the studio audience whether he should open the door, which they encourage him to do.

This topic might have a better name.

As this isn't a "TV story" in the conventional sense, the dab term needs to be befitting to this being an interview.

Talk about it here.

Children in Need 1985 was a segment of the BBC One Children in Need telethon. It featured many Doctor Who actors as themselves and at the end a cheque for £1,000 was presented by Colin Baker and a further cheque for £100 was presented by Patrick Troughton from the Doctor Who Appreciation Society.

Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

It is November 22nd, 1985. Children In Need host Terry Wogan and The Sky At Night presenter Patrick Moore walk over to the TARDIS prop, with Moore asking the studio audience whether he should open the door, which they encourage him to do. Prior to him doing this the camera cuts to the audience and we see The Man In Blue (Andrew Ross Hay). Patrick Moore opens the door and we then see Patrick Troughton emerge from the box in full costume blowing a party blower.

Terry then begins to introduce a total of twenty Doctor Who stars who also emerge from the TARDIS. Patrick Troughton is followed by Carole Ann Ford, Maureen O'Brien, Peter Purves , Michael Craze, and Adrienne Hill.

At this point Jon Pertwee steps out carrying the beginnings of a very large cheque, which requires several people to hold. These are Pertwee, Caroline John, Nicholas Courtney, Richard Franklin, John Levene, Elisabeth Sladen, Louise Jameson, Ian Marter, and Peter Davison. The cheque carriers end at this point.

The last few to leave the TARDIS are Janet Fielding, Matthew Waterhouse, Mark Strickson, Nicola Bryant, and Colin Baker. As Baker presents a smaller version of the cheque for £1000, the show cuts back to the audience and The Man In Blue. Troughton then steps forward with a second cheque for £100 from The Doctor Who Appreciation Society.

Pertwee then intervenes asking whether Troughton had said where the cheque came from. An argument then breaks out between Pertwee, Troughton and Baker, with Pertwee revealing that Troughton was told to say it came from one day's showing of the Doctor Who show in Blackpool. Colin Baker then looks to the audience asking "Who's that?" pointing directly toward The Man In Blue. Fed up of the arguing, Wogan gets into the TARDIS and dematerialises. We then see the audience with The Man In Blue clapping, talking to his friend, and then looking round towards the camera.
