DALEK I LOVE YOU
Saturday 11th February 2006
1800 - 1830 (repeated & 2400 - 0030)

Nigel English has always been a little bit different from the other boys. The son of a Doctor Who enthusiast Nigel was never sure what outfit his mum would turn up in at the school gates. No stranger to ridicule it would not be long before Nigel himself was indoctrinated into the "Who World". Nigel's father was never in the picture. In fact, Nigel had a sneaking suspicion that his Mum (Maggie) has not being entirely truthful about his parentage and feels that it is maybe slightly odd that he bears a striking resemblance to Jon Pertwee.

The Doctor Who convention held every year is a mecca for fans, each stall given over to famous characters with guest stars signing autographs. At one of these stalls he meets a girl who reminds him of someone familiar, but he can't figure out who. The girl, Isabella, mentions that she has no accommodation and Nigel volunteers his spare room for the length of the convention.

Maggie is rather surprised when Nigel turns up with Isabella in tow. The fact that she is rather beautiful and also intelligent makes Maggie uneasy. What is she doing with Nigel for a start? As time passes, Maggie begins to worry about her own sanity. Little things start to go missing, furniture is being moved around, walls have changed colour and nobody but her seems to notice. We see Maggie's descent into apparent madness which culminates in a confrontation with Isabella where we find out who she really is and what her plans are for Nigel?

The script is written by Colin Sharpe, and stars Charlie Hardwick, David Raynor and Fiona Clarke.
