Bartholomew and the Oobleck
Check the behind the scenes section, the revision history and discussion page for additional comments on this article's title.
A book about Ooblecks 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.
