Doctor Who and the Nomic of Death, Episode 88: A Meeting with Majesty

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 43003

"Looks like we're in King Arthur's court," said Betty-1.

"Um, this isn't a court," said Stacy. "This is some kind of meadow." [Addventure game 3 episode 4012.]

"D'oh! Well... I meant that. It's been a long day, OK? Anyway that guy over there in the armor with a huge convoy of knights would probably be King Arthur.

"How would you know that?"

"I don't know, it just feels right. Could you look him up in the guide to make sure?"

"Sure," said Stacy. The guide looked not unlike the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy from the television version, except that it was blue rather than red and had a small keyboard on the bottom. After a minute or so trying to understand the controls, Stacy typed "King Arthur" in the search function. All she saw was a picture, but from a distance the man leading the convoy looked very much like the noble and and proud middle-aged man wearing a crown that was shown in the photograph. "That's him, probably. Just when I thought this day couldn't possibly get weirder..."

"Wow, I can't believe it!" exclaimed Betty-2. "Not only do I get to meet the Doctor and King Arthur, I get to meet them in the same day! I wish I had some of my SCA clothing..."

"Why does this feel so familiar?" said Betty-1.

"Probably because it's an episode we wrote, as if it wasn't weird enough already," said Betty-2.

The knights were now quite close now. They seemed to be looking at the three women rather uneasily. King Arthur rode forward to meet them. "By what sorcery is it that thou didst just appear?" he says in a deep voice.

"So you're King Arthur?" asks Betty-1.

"Forsooth," he says. "Indeed, 'tis I, Arthur, King of the Britons. And who might you be? Art thous sorceresses, to appear from the very air of England?" Betty-1 reflected that Scott probably would have had it easier--female magic users were looked on less well in these times, especially if this is after Morgana started scheming. The three companions stood there for a moment, unsure how quite to respond to this. A long, uncomfortable moment passed, and as a scowl began to form on the famous King's face, Betty-1 found herself blurting out:

  1. "No, we're Betty-1, Betty-2 and Stacy! We're time travelers!"
  2. "Yes! We're sorceresses! Um... I'm the Great Bettania, and these are my apprentices, um, Ragania and Ecstacia." She really wished she'd had time to think of better names.
