Doctor Who Drabble: Magic

[bk_forever]

Title: Magic
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Eleventh Doctor, OCs.
Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 517: Prestidigitation at dw100.
Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: A little bit of magic goes a long way.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.




It’s not magic, really nothing more than sleight of hand, but it’s impressing the locals and right now that’s what matters. They’d been borderline hostile when the TARDIS showed up, suspicious, convinced the new arrival must be up to no good, but put on a little show for them and suddenly they’re all smiles, applauding his tricks by politely stamping all four feet in a complicated rhythm.


“And now, for the finale of my show, I will make my magical box vanish before your very eyes! Abracadabra, thingamabob!”


If this doesn’t get him taken to their leader then nothing will!



The End

Fair enough. my mum use to watch "The Good Life", "Some Mothers Do Have Them"... Well, British sitcoms during that era. Note, she also watch whatever was on for the sake of viewing something or to learn the English language. I would come across such shows on re-runs.

Even a live audience recording is edited, so it ends up sounding like canned laughter.*fake laughing/deadpan*

I grew up with those shows, and Are You Being Served. Plus Morcambe and Wise, the Two Ronnies, Les Dawson, and Tommy Cooper. Now that was comedy, good, clean fun for the most part.

I vaguely remember catching a glimpse of the Two Ronnies and Are You Being Served? I just found out there was an Australian Version of the latter. But had John Inman (Mr. Humphries) from the original to help with the transition. Money talks I guess.

John Inman's character was my favourite =D
