That's what the BBC powers that be set out to discover when they gathered together all the writers from Doctor Who series 9.

Steven Moffat, Sarah Dollard, Mark Gatiss and co were handed a clipboard and a pen, and asked to create one great big Doctor Who tale together.

The results? Well, they were... a bit bizarre. Then again, what do expect from the most respected sci-fi writers in space and time?

The good news is, the story isn't finished: viewers right now are carrying on the game, one comment at a time, on the Doctor Who Facebook page.
