The Unicorn And The Wasp

Episode Location: Earth,
Aliens/Enemies:
Giant wasps,
New Characters: Agatha Christie, Lady Clemency Eddison
Gadgets Used: Sonic Screwdriver, Psychic Paper
Episode Objective: Unknown

In 1926, Agatha Christie mysteriously disappeared, only to be found ten days later with no memory of what had happened. Was it a nervous breakdown? A cry for help? Or perhaps a giant alien wasp? The Doctor and Donna join forces with the world's most famous crime novelist to encounter a body in the library, poisoned cocktails and a Vespiform seeking revenge.

This episode contains the words "peach", "sting", "unicorn" and the sentence "The poor little child"



And here we go!
Lady Clemency Eddison is a woman with secrets... She is lady of the manor where guests have been invited, and the murders begin


And who should be some of those guests? Only the Doctor and Donna! But I don't think they actually know where they are when they arrive, since they seem quite surprised to meet Agatha.



And then I'm sure there is large amounts of comedy as our team try to integrate themselves into this little posh party. And we probably meet all these characters like the Reverand and whatnot, who are asking about Agatha's books.

ROGER
Miss Christie, I've a question. Why a Belgian detective?
AGATHA
The Belgian's make such lovely buns
REVEREND GOLIGHTLY
Where do you get your ideas from?
AGATHA
Murder is easy, vicar, when you've killed as many people as I have

And I'm sure they're having quite a jolly time until a body is found in the library... and then there are the giant wasps to contend with as well.



















As of now, I have no idea what the wasps/Vespiform's have to do with anything, but I suspect that if I did, that would ruin the story!

Oh yeah... and this happens at some point in the episode....










But apparently its all okay! He's not making a move towards Donna - it's just his antidote to some poison he's swallowed. Afterwards Donna looks like she'd have preferred it if he died.

So where does the Anchovies remedy come into all this I wonder?

Oh, and as usual, there be a lot of running to do!
Here we see the Doctor, Donna and Agatha Christy all running into this room and stopping dead as the Doctor says to himself: 'There's nowhere to run!'

And here be another shot of the Doctor, putting on his lovely glasses and peering over something that we can't see...









But, I'm sure that whatever problems and big bad evilness that they encounter, it will all be solved (probably by Agatha who, in a Shakespeare Code moment, is told by the Doctor that she's the one who can fix it all)

And then the Doctor and Donna will fly away into the next amazing adventure!


But that'll have to wait until AFTER the Eurovision Song Contest.

Speculation
- The episode features a murder and a jewel thief
- Apparently the Doctor eats some anchovies as a remedy.

And also... I think that this might happen during this episode:
The Doctor making a horrible gasping noise while some white powdery substance (that doesn't seem to behave that much like powder) pours OUT of his mouth
