Taking place between the Meep's attempted destruction of London in November 2023 (PROSE: The Star Beast [+]Loading...["The Star Beast (novelisation)"]) and 1 December 2023, (PROSE: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Loading...{"page":"6","chaptnum":"Two","1":"The Church on Ruby Road (novelisation)"}) the Giggle was the name given (PROSE: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (novelisation)"]) to the infection caused by the Toymaker using a sympathy coded into the laugh of Stooky Bill that made every human believe that they were inherently correct, with the enhanced entitlement causing them to overact on their urges.

History
Background
After the Fourteenth Doctor called upon the superstition of salt warding off evil to hold back the not-things while at the edge of the universe, where "the walls [were] thin and all things [where] possible", (TV: Wild Blue Yonder [+]Loading...["Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)"]) the fact that he had "played a game" resulted in the Toymaker being "let in" to the Doctor's universe from his domain. After running amok and besting challenges from the Guardians of Time and Space, the dying Spy Master and "God", as well as making "a jigsaw out of [the Doctor's] history" and fleeing "the One Who Waits", the Toymaker made his way to the "ultimate playground" of Earth, settling down in 1925 Soho, with a fraction of his domain taking the form of a toy shop, where he conjured a plan to have the laughter of his Stooky Bill puppet imbedded into every screen so that humanity would turn on each other on a day when every screen became available to them.

On 1 December 2023, when asked about her life during an interview with Davina McCall on a television programme, Ruby Sunday mentioned the Giggle as one of the events she had recently lived through. The Fifteenth Doctor later inferred that the Goblins were among the legions the Toymaker had warned him about. Indeed, after the Fifteenth Doctor negated a cracked timeline the Goblins created, they faded from view, as though they had been erased from existence, or pulled back into another world.
