A Message from Janis Goblin (short story)
A Message from Janis Goblin was a short story exclusively published on the official Doctor Who Twitter account on 13 December 2023 by BBC Studios to celebrate the success of "The Goblin Song" in the charts. It was told from the perspective of Janis Goblin.[1]
Plot
Janis Goblin thanks all the humans who have listened to "The Goblin Song", as all the money is being donated to Children in Need, and she is under the misapprehension that this means that there will be more children for her to eat. After she realises that this is not, in fact, the case, she decides against not eating any more children, and asks somebody to pass her some twins for her to eat.
