Right, I don't know how many of these I've done today, but here's another one.
Chapter 63- The Idiot's Lantern part 2
The Doctor and Rose walked along a street hand in hand after stopping the scooter further up. "There you go, sir." said a man "All wired up for the great occasion."
"Great occasion?" asked the Doctor "What do you mean?"
"Where have you been living, out in the colonies?" he asked "The Coronation of course!"
"And what Coronation's that, then?" the Doctor asked
"What do you mean?" he asked "The Coronation!"
"It's the Queen's!" Rose said "Queen Elizabeth!"
"Oh!" said the Doctor as realisation finally hit him "Is this 1953?" he asked
"Last time I looked." answered the man "Time for a lovely bit of pomp and circumstance. What we do best."
Rose was looking around the street and noticed something that she thought was odd. "Look at all the TV aerials." she said to her husband "Looks like everyone's got one. That's weird. My mum said tellys were so rare, they all had to pile into one house."
"Not round here, love." said the man "Magpie's Marvellous Tellys. Only five quid a pop!"
"Oh, but this is a brilliant year, classic!" said the Doctor enthusiastically. "Technicolor! Everest climbed! Everything off the ration! A nation throwing off the shackles of war and looking forward to a happier and brighter future!"
Rose laughed at his accent, but stopped as they heard someone calling for help. They ran over to the car "What's going on?" the Doctor asked
"Oi!" shouted a boy as he ran out of his house "What are you doing?"
"Police business." said the older man "Get out of the way, sir."
"Who did they take?" Rose asked the boy "Do you know him?"
"Must be Mr Gallagher" the boy answered "It's happening all over the place." he explained "They're turning into monsters."
"Tommy!" shouted a man, who the Doctor and Rose assumed was the boy's father "Not one word." he said when Tommy turned to face him "Get inside now!"
He turned back to them "Sorry, I'd better do as he says." he went back inside when he had said this and the Doctor and Rose went back to the Vespa and followed the car.

The Doctor followed the car until they hit a dead end "Lost them." he said "How did they get away from us?"
"I'm surprised they didn't turn back and arrest you fro reckless driving." Rose said "Have you actually passed your test?"
The Doctor ignored her question "Men in black? Vanishing police cars?" he said "This is Churchill's England, not Stalin's Russia."
"Monsters, that boy said." said Rose "Maybe we should go and ask the neighbours."
"That's what I like about you, the domestic approach."
"Thank you." Rose said "Hold on. Was that an insult?" she asked. The Doctor didn't answer, instead he started the engine and drove off
--
The Doctor and Rose checked every house on the street, but couldn't get anyone to talk, not even the woman who's husband the police had taken away that morning. By the time they had done that house, Rose was exhausted. "Doctor?" she said
"Yeah?"
"Can we go back to the Tardis, my feet are killing me."
"We've just got one left and then, we'll go back to the Tardis."
"Thank you." she said as she kissed his cheek "Come on, then." They walked to the last front door and the Doctor rang the door bell. A man answered it "Hi!" they said at the same time
"Who are you, then?" the man asked
"Let's see, judging by the look of you, family man, nice house, decent wage, fought in the war, therefore, I represent Queen and country!" the Doctor said as he took out the psychic paper and held it up to the man. "Just doing a check of her forthcoming Majesty's subjects before the great day. Don't mind if we come in? No, I didn't think you did. Thank you." The two of them walked in to the living room "Not bad, very nice, very well kept." he said "I'd like to congratulate you, Mrs…?"
"Connolly."
"Now then Rita." said Mr Connolly. "I can handle this. This gentleman's a proper representative. Don't mind the wife. She rattles on a bit."
"Well, maybe she should rattle on a bit more." the Doctor said "I'm not convinced you're doing your patriotic duty. Those flags, why are they not flying?"
"There we are, Rita, I told you." Mr Connolly said "Get them up. Queen and Country."
"I'm sorry." she said
"Get it done." said Mr Connolly "Do it now."
"Hold on a minute" said the Doctor "Hold on a minute."
"Like the gentleman says…"
"You've got hands, Mr Connolly." said the Doctor "Two big hands. Then why is that your wife's job?"
"Well, it's housework, innit?
"And that's a woman's job?" the Doctor asked
"Course it is." answered Mr Connolly
"Mr Connolly, what gender is the Queen?" the Doctor asked
"She's a female." he answered
"And are you suggesting the Queen does the housework?"
"No, not at all."
"Then get busy!"
Okay, I decided to leave it there, the next one will be up soon. Don't hate me
