This story was originally written for Adrian Brown’s 2004 charity anthology, Just 1 Page 2. To fit the whole story into one page, I decided to write the script in the style of the Judge Dredd daily newspaper strip.

The Doctor in this story is played by Tom Baker, as he was by far the best, and had his own Marvel comic and everything. Judge Dredd, of course, plays himself. If we can’t get Clancy Brown.

STRIP ONE

Panel One

The TARDIS Vworps into Mega City One.

1. SFX:	VWORPklnk VWORPklnk

Panel Two

Out steps The Doctor - -

2. THE DOCTOR:	Now then. Where am I today - -

Panel Three

- - and straight into the barrel of Judge Dredd's Lawgiver.

3. THE DOCTOR:	- - eep.

STRIP TWO

Panel One

Dredd leans in, jaw set. Meaning business.

1. DREDD:	On your way to the Cubes, Creep.

2. DREDD:	Dimensional incursion: Twenty Years!

Panel Two

The Doctor holds out a bag of jelly babies.

3. THE DOCTOR:	Ah. Now. How about a jelly baby before we go?

Panel Three

Bad move, Doctor. Dredd smacks the jelly babies out of his hand.

4. DREDD:	Drokk! Sugar! That's another five years, creep! Plus ten more for attempting to bribe a Judge!

STRIP THREE

Panel One

The Doctor reaches into his inside pocket for something. Dredd bristles.

1. THE DOCTOR:	Oh, come now. Can't we be reasonable?

2. THE DOCTOR:	Next, you'll be arresting me for carrying - -

Panel Two

The Doctor pulls out a Sonic Screwdriver.

3. DREDD (off-panel):	STOMM! Needler!

Panel Three

Dredd blows the back of The Doctor's head off. Brains and shaggy perm everywhere.

4. SFX:	BLAMM!

STRIP FOUR

Panel One

The Doctor's corpse slumps to the ground, beyond the hope of regeneration. Dredd stands over the body, holstering his Lawgiver.

1. DREDD:	Shouldn't have done that, creep.

2. DREDD:	Now the only time you'll be doing - - 

Panel Two

Wide panel. Dredd walking back to his bike. The Doctor's scarf is caught on the breeze.

3. DREDD:	- - is in Resyk.
