Commercials are a great source for inspiration when thinking about fanficcish stories about the Meddling Monk. I’ve written before about those commercials which are set in Earth’s Past but which have samples of today’s products – FedEx, Pepsi, Bud Light, etc.
Amazon Prime debuted one of these in January, in which a listless Napoleon Bonaparte retreated to his tent to watch the Prime Video specials which starred comedians doing their stand-up routines. Inspired, Bonaparte puts his own comedy act together and tries it out on his soldiers. (He was very deadpan, something like a Napoleonic Steven Wright.)
Not only was the Amazon service and Amazon Prime available in the early years of the 19th Century, but Nappie had a high-def wide-screen TV to watch the specials.
O’Bviously, this was due to the interference of the Monk, a Time Lord who wanted to disrupt the Earth’s timeline so that its history would be better aligned with his vision of the Future.
Since we know by watching any TV show set in the main Toobworld that it never played out that way, then the Doctor must have stepped in to foil his machinations once again.
