Useless Things was a Brief Encounter short story published in DWM 212.

Summary

Alien invaders led by Prince Genei plan to take over the world, but are scared off by a police box they believe to be the Doctor's TARDIS. However, the police box is actually the last of its kind in England, and workmen arrive to remove it shortly after the invaders depart for their own world.

Characters

References

  • The last remaining police box in England was situated on the Barnet Bypass. (TV: Logopolis)

Notes

to be added

Continuity

  • Workmen arrive to remove the police box shortly after the invaders leave, so the story has to take place at some point after TV: Logopolis.
  • The legacy of the police box appearance that the Doctor's TARDIS has assumed is explored here. It is further explored in COMIC: Hunters of the Burning Stone.
