[This is a telethon. Times may change. Episodes are less than 10 minutes long.]
On Red Nose Day, cosmic forces converge. A telethon to benefit children in Africa emerges from the chaos. Soon, stars of current and former British shows find themselves filming special versions for this telethon. Naturally, as one of the UK's greatest exports, Doctor Who is brought out of retirement to help. In the time necessary to reverse the polarity of neutron flows, someone shouts 'Hey! That isn't Paul McGann! It's Blackadder!' People begin to stare and wonder. 'Rowan Atkinson as the Doctor? Can it work?' The critical buzz claims that the show is a winner. The number of episodes goes from one to two to three. The great evening approaches. Will 'Doctor Who' be a big success for the telethon? Can the actor pegged as the Doctor pull it off? Is the crossover plan involving another series truly as bad as the rumor claims? Only one way to find out - watch!
