The Curse of the Fugue	Lost and Found

This Sporting Life was the fifth story of the sixth season of Big Finish Productions' Short Trips series. It was read by Peter Purves.

Publisher's summary

When the Doctor, Steven, and Dodo arrive in London in March 1966, World Cup fever is already underway. But disaster has struck: the trophy has been stolen, and the police are at a loss as to who could have taken it. When someone shoves part of the trophy into Steven's hands, the travellers become embroiled in the case..

Characters

References

Steven has never heard of the World Cup. He describes football as "an idiotic sport for idiotic people."
Dodo's father was a football fan.
The goldsmith left Vienna in the 1930s.

Notes

This story is available for download only.
This story was recorded on 19 November 2015 at The Moat Studios.
The story's title is an in-joke, referring to the fact that William Hartnell played "Dad" Johnson in the 1963 film This Sporting Life.

Continuity

England went on to defeat West Germany in the 1966 World Cup. (PROSE: The Rag & Bone Man's Story; COMIC: The Love Invasion) During his eleventh incarnation, he and his companions Amy Pond and Rory Williams witnessed the match in Wembley Stadium. (PROSE: Extra Time)
