Lost Luggage (game)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
- You may be looking for the novel of the same name.
Lost Luggage was the fifth game and tenth release exclusively published in the Doctor Who Annual 2006 in September 2005 by Panini UK and the BBC. The puzzle game featured an original illustration by Ben Morris, while the writing of the Annual's puzzles was collectively attributed to Justin Richards and Gareth Roberts.
Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]
Returning from an adventure on Platform One, the Doctor realises he has mislaid his Retrieval Tag and is prevented from getting his Ship back from storage. The "newly-minted" Chief Steward will authorise its return only if the Doctor correctly answers a series of rapid-fire questions about the Ship and its features, which would prove that is in fact its owner. Can you help him answer?

Worldbuilding[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The TARDIS's colour is one of the questions asked of the Doctor.
Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- In 2008, a Decide Your Destiny Tenth Doctor novel was released under the same title of Lost Luggage. It had no overt connection to the 2005 game, but shared the basic premise of the reader having to help the Doctor after bureaucratic protocols in a sci-fi airport-analogue threaten to put the TARDIS out of his reach.
- The question of which of the doors has a handle is in fact a trick question: the correct answer is that both doors technically have handles, one on the box itself and one on the TARDIS telephone panel.
- On the other hand, the official answers unequivocally hold that the TARDIS outer doors open inwards, despite their having occasionally been seen to open outwards on television.
Continuity[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Platform One was precedingly seen in the episode The End of the World, another example of the Doctor Who Annual 2006's understandably heavy reliance on concepts and settings from Series 1 of the Welsh series.
