Reporting from a [[Treen colony]] with his assistant [[Digby (Comic Relief Comic)|Digby]], [[Dan Dare]] informs [[Lenny Henry|Lenny]] that they have managed to collect a whole shipful of [[money]] but that there still remain quite a few people that have not yet donated, in particular [[the Mekon]], "the stingiest, most hard-boiled [[egg]]head in the [[galaxy]]." As the pair run out of [[nose]]s, yet more [[alien]]s prove reluctant to give to [[charity]], though Dan believes that they may be persuaded with a few more [[fundraisers]]. | Reporting from a [[Treen colony]] with his assistant [[Digby (The Totally Stonking, Surprisingly Educational And Utterly Mindboggling Comic Relief Comic)|Digby]], [[Dan Dare]] informs [[Lenny Henry|Lenny]] that they have managed to collect a whole shipful of [[money]] but that there still remain quite a few people that have not yet donated, in particular [[the Mekon]], "the stingiest, most hard-boiled [[egg]]head in the [[galaxy]]." As the pair run out of [[nose]]s, yet more [[alien]]s prove reluctant to give to [[charity]], though Dan believes that they may be persuaded with a few more [[fundraisers]]. | ||
At that moment, [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] materialises. Out of the TARDIS steps the [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Ace]], followed by the [[First Doctor]] and [[Susan Foreman]], the [[Fourth Doctor]] with [[Leela]] and [[K9 Mark I]], the [[Second Doctor]] and [[Victoria Waterfield]], the [[Fifth Doctor]] and [[Tegan Jovanka]], the [[Third Doctor]], and the [[Sixth Doctor]]. Introducing his company to Dan as a "[[who-tennany]]", the Seventh Doctor ascertains that they are in the [[year]] [[1991]]. The Second Doctor loads a boxful of red noses "filled with the [[yoghourt]] of [[human]] [[kindness]]" into a [[cannon]] which is fired, hitting the Mekon square in the face. Inadvertently making "a [[funny]]", the Mekon is convinced to donate along with the other aliens. Their job done, Dan decides that its time to get back down to [[Earth]]. | At that moment, [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] materialises.
