Be still and listen gentlemen that be of freeborn blood, for I'll tell you a tale of good yeoman, his name was Robin Hood. Yes indeed, verily, prithee and all manner of mediaeval titterings, the TARDIS has plonked itself in the middle of Sherwood Forest and come under siege from Robin Hood. Unhappy that the TARDIS landed in all its whooshing blue glory right on top of Maid Marion as Robin was about to get his conjugal way, the Hood is trying to kidnap Manuel. With some vigorous handshaking the erratic Spanish waiter is tempted by the thought of serving Robin and his red clad merry men platters of the king's venison and polishing the arrows.
Dr Whoof? is trying to divert attention from this by telling Manual he'd be better off doing a good job cleaning up the TARDIS so that someone with a bit more money will come along, rather than a one time rich lord of the manor that has since fallen on hard times. All the while Lennie Bennett is using his repertoire of subtle quips and witticisms to convince Will Scarlett that he should hop into the TARDIS and 'have a look around.' Once inside, with or without the besotted Manuel, the TARDIS will whisk itself back to the Memorial in time to confront the Mad Hatter and his minions coming up from Wonderland. Hanging around insidiously in the background is Stalin, hoping that all this nonsense will brainwash the people of the Memorial into forgetting what a despotic cad he is. Will the people remember? Will Dr Whoof? save Manuel from selling his soul to Robin Hood? Or will Lennie manage to kidnap Will Scarlett? Or will Lennie only be able to dupe Friar Tuck..? And if so, will the TARDIS be able to get off the ground in time to make it back to see off the Mad Hatter?
