Fox in Socks
Check the behind the scenes section, the revision history and discussion page for additional comments on this article's title.
A book about besocked foxes was one of the several picture books which the Eighth Doctor kept aboard the TARDIS.
During the eight-year-old William Shakespeare's stay aboard the TARDIS, there was little of a literary nature to distract him due to his limited understanding of modern English except for the Doctor's small collection of picture books, which he read and re-read. The Doctor eventually discovered a game called Peter Pan Pop-O-Matic Frustration which he played with Shakespeare and Charlotte Pollard to keep everyone entertained while the efforts to return Shakespeare to his native time continued. Charley was thankful for this development, writing in her diary that it meant Shakespeare no longer had to constantly relate the escapades of besocked foxes to them.
