Hello Everybody (short story)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Hello Everybody was the first short story exclusively published in the souvenir programme for Doctor Who Live on 8 October 2010 by BBC Worldwide and written by Gareth Roberts, Gary Russell and Philip Murphy.
Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]
In 1843, the Eleventh Doctor writes a letter to the audience of an "electrifying experience", assuring them they will have no need to worry, as while the involvement of the Minimiser and the monsters contained within means danger, he has already lived through the events and saved the day — but remains tight lipped about any other information, as it's a spoiler.

The Doctor[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The Doctor confusingly explains how he is writing about the audience's future while also being something that happened in his past, as well as that he is writing the letter in the audience's past but in his future.¾
- A week has passed for the Doctor since his involvement.
The Minimiser[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The Minimiser is "highly" illegal, unethical and thrilling.
- The Doctor believed that all the Minimisers had been destroyed, so admits that he is wrong due to one remaining.
