By the Light of the Asteroid
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
By the Light of the Asteroid was a television programme that aired on Sto. It focused on the Crystal family, one of whom was named Joofie Crystalle, growing up by an asteroid. Foon Van Hoff and Morvin Van Hoff were big fans of the show. Joofie had had five husbands and, according to the Doctor, the series apparently featured twins.
In the 2000s,[nb 1] the show sponsored a competition in which the prize was a cruise onboard the starship Titanic to experience "primitive cultures", including Earth. Foon won by naming all of Joofie's husbands. She later revealed to her husband Morvin that she had dialled the competition five thousand times and her vone bill was five thousand credits. (TV: Voyage of the Damned)
Footnotes
- ↑ Although Voyage of the Damned is supposedly set the Christmas after the 2007 setting of The Runaway Bride, the Doctor Who series which aired immediately before and after Voyage give contradicting dates for when their present day is set. PROSE: The Paradox Moon places Martha Jones' present day in series 3 in June 2007. AUDIO: Recruits dates it to March 2008. A newspaper clipping in PROSE: The Secret Lives of Monsters places Smith and Jones on a Sunday 4 June, which in the real world does not fall on a Sunday in either 2007 or 2008. Donna Noble's present day in series 4 is set in 2008 according to TV: The Fires of Pompeii, TV: The Waters of Mars, and AUDIO: SOS (and is heavily implied by TV: The Star Beast and TV: The Giggle), or in approximately April to June 2009, according to PROSE: Beautiful Chaos.
