The [[Seventh Doctor]] suddenly fancies a game of [[conker]]s — his "opponent" being his [[umbrella]], which is hung on the [[hatstand]] with a conker tied to its large red [[question mark]]-shaped handle. Having run out of conkers, the Doctor lands [[the TARDIS]] in [[5th century]] [[Britain]] to collect some more and tries his luck with some initially unfriendly [[Viking]]s. | The [[Seventh Doctor]] suddenly fancies a game of [[conker]]s — his "opponent" being his [[umbrella]], which is hung on the [[hatstand]] with a conker tied to its large red [[question mark]]-shaped handle.

* This strip was produced for issue #13 ''[[The Incredible Hulk Presents]]'' comic, but the periodical folded after issue #12. It was thus run in ''Doctor Who Magazine'' but was not originally intended for it.
