The street was dark and deserted as harsh rain pitterd to the ground, accompanied by flashes of lightning. Not much was out of place on the corner of the street, besides the light coming from the Magpie Television store.

"Orchestrations were arranged by sir Rhodri Fenning and Dame Evelyn Blish is a member of the Kings Lynn players. So tune in again next week for more from the What's My Line? Team. And that brings us to the end of programming for today. So from all of us here at Alexandra Palace, a very good night."

The store owner leans across the desk, sighing deeply as he works through his sales. "£200 overdrawn." The owner sighs, tearing out the page. "I need a miracle." The man tosses the now crumpled paper aside as he rubs across his face in defeat.

A strange flash of red lightening strikes the Magpie Television store's areal, causing a red static current to flash the once-off TV on again.

"Mr. Magpie?" The woman on the TV calls, waking the sleeping man. "Oh, Mr. Magpie?"

"Eh?" The man grunts as he awakens.

"You-hoo! Can you hear me, Magpie?" She calls out.

"Yes." The man grunts as he turns to the TV. "I must be dreaming..."

"Oh, no. This isn't a dream."

"I'm going doolally, then." He mutters in disbelief, staring at the woman.

"Not at all, sweetheart. Now, are you sitting comfortably? Good. Then we'll begin."

Three, red, electric tendrils emerge from the TV and wrap around Mr. Magpie's head, seemingly dragging his face towards the TV while the woman laughs through his cries of pain.

{Y/N} stands outside of the TARDIS, dressed in a way that would compliment the 50's era of fashion as she waits for Rose and the Doctor.

Rose steps out of the TARDIS in a pair of pink high heels, dressed in gear from the TARDIS's never-ending wardrobe.

"I thought we'd be going for the Vegas era, you know the white flares and the, grr, chest hair." Rose smiles as she looks around.

"You are kidding, aren't you? You want to see Elvis, you go for the late fifties. The time before burgers. When they called him the Pelvis and he still had a waist." The Doctor states as he peaks his head around the TARDIS door.

Rose smiles snugly at the Doctor's styled hair before turning to {Y/N}. "How did you manage to get him to do that?" She laughs.

"Well, it wasn't easy. But you will find I can be rather persuasive." {Y/N} smirks mischievously.

"What did you do?"

"I said I would let him look at my medical files." {Y/N} shrugs, leaning in close to Rose before whispering. "But just because I said that doesn't mean I will."

Rose laughs in disbelief when she was distracted by the sound of a revving engine from inside the TARDIS. Followed by the Doctor driving a three-person scooter through the open doors.
