Doctor Who fan (U.N.I.T. On Call)
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, a Doctor Who fan once phoned UNIT in the 1970s from her bedroom.
Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
After she finished watching an episode of Doctor Who, the fan rang up UNIT in the 1970s, where she was put on hold by an operator. After a while of waiting, she was put on the line with the Third Doctor, Jo, and the Brigadier. She asked for help with COVID-19, as UNIT in her native time had been suspended, and the trio give her all the advice they can: to remain positive, in spite of all the awful things going on. After they disconnect, Terrance Dicks applauded the trio, and he told the fan that a tea break was deserved. Terrance then disconnected, and the fan drank a cup of tea, dunking Jammie Dodgers inside, while tuning into another episode of Doctor Who. (WC: U.N.I.T. On Call [+]Loading...["U.N.I.T.
