"Doctor Who and the Final Enemy"

To close the most problematic Doctor Who season in history, the linked epic "Judgement of Dr Who", producer Jerry Jules-Turnbull initially turned to veteran Who writer Barratt Homes, because he had written the season opener "The Strange Country" and refused to tell anyone else how the season was supposed to end. Unfortunately, Homes was run over by a fishing trawler with only one fantastic episode completed, so script editor Dougy Wayward took up the mantle. However, major disagreements erupted between Wayward and Jules-Turnbull over the ending of the script, which Jules-Turnbull judged to be "too downbeat and rubbish", noting that for Doctor Who and the Barrister to simply fall down a big hole at the end would be an anti-climax to the epic season.

In the end Jules-Turnbull was seen outside BBC Television Centre the day before filming screaming at passers-by "won't someone write this bloody script?". In the end, the Fishcakes, authors of the second story in the season, were drafted in once more to write the story. But, as Felicity Fishcake later explained, "Due to the legal wrangles involved, we weren't allowed to be told what had happened so far, or who was in it or what was supposed to happen next. So writing the final episode of the season was clearly going to be a real challenge."

In the final story of the season, Doctor Who (William Hartnell) is mysteriously aided in his trial against the Barrister (Jeanette Krankie) when light entertainment star Binny Langworth (herself) is taken out of time and space and a performance of "Aladdin" to assist him in his trial...

Part 1

"Doctor Who!" commanded the Judge. "You still insist that the evidence on the tape has been buggered about with - well, here's someone who will tell you that it hasn't!"
"Where?" asked Doctor Who.
"Here!" said a voice, and a small man with a silly hat stepped out the shadows.
"I am the Keeper of the Evidence!" he announced. "And no-one can get at it madam, without this key which is kept in the depths of my robes at all times."
"Except those people with authorised access to those robes sir!" argued back Doctor Who.
"This is preposterous!" interrupted the Barrister with a sneer. "The only way Doctor Who can get himself out of this pickle is by somehow transporting some witnesses across time and space. And we all know that's not going to happen!"
"Or is it?" said a voice from the big screen. There was the distant sound of a drum roll. "Ladies and gentleman.... Binny Langworth!"

Suddenly, Binny Langworth tap-danced into the courtroom.
"Doctor Who is innocent!" she trilled. "And I'm as honest, boring and untalented as they come!"
"Too right." said Doctor Who. "Who sent you here, Binny Langworth? And, more importantly, are they willing to take you back?"
The owner of the voice on the screen suddenly appeared - it was Doctor Who's arch nemesis and long time tennis partner the Trickster!
"Ah Doctor Who!" he beamed, uncharacteristically.
"YOU!" stormed Doctor Who. "I should have known! But the last time we met you were trapped in an imploding time vessel with a hungry dinosaur."
"Not when I escaped." explained the Trickster simply. "I've bought you a star witness Doctor Who. But, be warned, she turns into a pumpkin at dawn."
"It's time to explain all that about the mysterious tunnel people from the first episode Doctor." piped up Binny Langworth suddenly. "Turns out that the planet was none other than Earth!"
Doctor Who was appalled and prepared to launch into one of his famous speeches.

"In all my travellings in time I've battled against evil!" he raged, gripping his lapels. "Against robots and evil blokes with beards! I should have stayed here, put my feet up and had a cup of tea instead!"
But while Doctor Who was delivering his speech, everyone else had left the courtroom.
"It's the Barrister!" cried Binny Langworth. "He's escaping!"
"Why?" asked the Judge.
"Beats me." replied Binny Langworth. "But he must be using the secret Ninth Door to the fantasy reality inside the Screens of Knowledge!"
"Then," declared Doctor Who. "It's up to us to stop him!"
Doctor Who dashed towards the Ninth Door, which appeared to be made of stained glass, and charged after the Barrister...

He found himself on a mysterious illusionary beach, similar to Margate, and suddenly got the urge to quote some famous poetry.
"There was a young man from Venus..." began Doctor Who. But suddenly the sand underneath his feet began to cave away. As he was engulfed by the heaving pebbles, it looked very certainly like the end...
