Apparently I'm not allowed to post fan-writing to GB that features real people. So you lucky people get this excerpt from my new musical spectacular, Hamilton.
[BIDMEAD]
I am not throwing away Meg-Los
No I’m not throwing away Meg-Los
Yo, I’m just really stuck on the one about a dodecahedron
And I’m not throwing away Meglos
It’s inspired by my knowledge of hard science
I probably shouldn’t brag about it but dang this is a certain classic
I mean the villain’s just this crazy talkin’ cactus
I’m straight up in awe
Of every word from Grugger and Brotadac
I’m the total package, a beardy wunderkind
Crafting sci-fi stories of such complexity that you rarely find
With tachyonics, math wizardry and an aging cliffhanger
Not to mention that freaky twist with the cactus doppelganger
Every story, every episode
With ideas to decode, talk of entropy forebodes
I make that damned dog explode
The plan’s to restore the BBC’s jewel in the crown
By making it so grim and moody Tom won’t clown
around
I am the C-H, R-I, S-T-O,
PH - ER - and I know
JNT wants a whole new approach
While our stars only offer words to reproach
Essentially, Tom complains about everything
And Lalla’s not much more encouraging
They are never gonna make my sweet words sing
Soon there will be an opportunity for recasting
Enter me, he says in parentheses
Don’t be shocked when your Discontinuity Guide mentions me
I will accept just an H and a standard fee
And appear in all the extras on the DVDs
I am not throwing away Meg-Los
No I’m not throwing away Meg-Los
Yo, I’m just really stuck on the one about a dodecahedron
And no, I’m not throwing away Meglos
It’s time to make Meglos
[FISHER]
I dream of writing a story that might just stay in tact
My one in France was butchered by that Adams hack
That prat, hopefully he got the sack
The Leisure Hive will be my certain comeback
Before Meg-los
[DICKS]
Yo, I worked with Pertwee
Better known to you fools as Doctor Three
I’m joining this season while the show’s still in flux
To reuse an old script, it’s easy bucks
A bit after Meg-los
[SMITH]
Terry, we can’t start our trilogy
Until the Doctor and Romana get stuck in a CVE
You and I. The new guy. We’ll expand canon
By introducing an exciting teenaged companion
Right after Meg-Los
[LETTS]
Gents, let’s exercise prudence
Fill most of your stories not with aliens but humans
I’m with you, but we should start out slow
Why waste money on sets?
Don’t build, just use CSO!
[BIDMEAD]
Letts, check what we got
Mister Gallagher, inscrutable just like his plots
Terry’s science vampires are hot
Smithy, I like Adric a lot
Let’s make this season more engaging than anything ITV’s bought
What are the odds the Beeb would put us all in one spot
We’re discardin’ Tom’s flights of fancy, like them or not
A bunch of visionary, science-lovin’ storytelling prodigies?
Give me the production codes, you’ll get high-brow scripts of superb quality.
Oh, am I talkin’ too loud?
Sometimes I get over excited, shoot off at the mouth
I never had a writing team before
I know these changes are awfully sudden
[ALL BUT BIDMEAD]
Let’s get this guy in front of Shaun Sutton
[BIDMEAD]
I am not throwing away Meg-Los
No I’m not throwing away Meg-Los
Yo, I’m just really stuck on the one about a dodecahedron
And no, I’m not throwing away Meglos
It’s time to make Meglos
Everybody sing
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa
Ay, let ‘em hear ya
Let’s go
I plan on bathing every story in talk of entropy
Regeneration in the finale
Monetary demands, will they be the end of me?
Surely they’ll happily pay my salary?
Would they miss out on securing ME?
At least I script-edited twenty-eight
Some predecessor’s runs were not half so great
There’s no Gridlock or Timelash and so I say
With seven cold-stone classics, I should celebrate
My tenure’s not been evolution, it’s revolution
We’ve rid the show of its humorous pollution
Fans oppose us, we hold to our plan
Just like Lovett Bickford, sticks with an awful pan
And? If fandom reassesses?
Judges us in the context of subsequent messes?
Or will the newbies love all the fast-talking, Doctor-as-God excesses?
Look, I know all the running in corridors is SO excitin'
But Jesus, between all the Daleks ‘n Cybermen
I’ve been wanting a deeper something
We need to return to plain, scientific storytellin’
Is this science fiction or just fictional science?
I’m past patiently waitin' I’m passionately tweetin’ my dissatisfaction with the series
And the ignorant tweeners to whom it’s exclusively caterin’
I started subscribin’ to Scientific American
and bought a pen
So when do I get to be script editor again?
I am not throwing away Meg-Los
No I’m not throwing away Meg-Los
Yo, I’m just really stuck on the one about a dodecahedron
And no, I’m not throwing away
No, I’m not throwing away Meglos!
