Characters

• Dicky Howett
• Tim Quinn

Worldbuilding

• The bellows is emblazoned "BBC Sound Effects".

Notes

• The actual TV series would eventually give its own comedic answer to the origin of the TARDIS's iconic "wheezing, groaning sound" in The Time of Angels ^[+]Loading...["The Time of Angels (TV story)"], where it is claimed to be the result of the TARDIS brakes being left on.
