‘This Doctor’s incarnation didn’t last long. He soon found himself regenerating into yet another body when the Rani fired at his TARDIS,’ River said, then left the stage as an actor playing the 7th Doctor appeared.
The 7th Doctor began to sing:
This is rollin', this is talking, this is my accent by the mile
Oh the ‘r’ ‘r’ rolling ‘r’s, the rolling ‘r’s for me
Question marks and Mel’s buffoon company
Whenever I'm bored I roll my ‘r’s ever so properly
Words out, old accent gone, ‘r’ with a capital R-R-R-R, R
The voice that speaks the ‘r’s, every companion that joins me in the TARDIS They'll always give their all for me they'll never let me down
I'm on my way to far away Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraxicoricofallapatorious and Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrighton
And fare thee well, and Bon Voyage arrivederci too
Oh the ‘r’ ‘r’ rolling ‘r’s, the rolling ‘r’s for me
Pardon the noise of the TARDIS arriving--fetch us a cup of tea
Words out, old accent gone, ‘r’ with a capital R-R-R-R, R
In every time or planet I land the local inhabitants welcome me
The welcome door mat is out
They give a little greeting to me
But monarchies are constantly trying to chop away my head
Last month I strangled poor Peri but you can forgive my past incarnation
Oh the ‘r’ ‘r’ rolling ‘r’s, the rolling ‘r’s for me
Oh R R R R R R R R Ridy Ridy Ree Ree Ree Ree Ree
Oh the ‘r’ ‘r’ rolling ‘r’s, the rolling ‘r’s for me
Question marks and Mel’s buffoon company
When I'm rolling my ‘R’s the companion is annoyed but I do it stylishly
Words out, old accent gone, ‘r’ with a capital R-R-R-R, R
R-R-R-R, R-R-R-R...
I must visit Barrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrcelona (18)
‘After a few adventures, Mel left the Doctor and Ace took her place,’ said River, as she walked back on-stage. ‘One of the biggest mysteries is why they were spotted walking into the distance on the planet of the Cheetah people. Records show that the Doctor was giving Ace a lecture on doing what the Doctor always tries to do. Saving the universe from the evil living within,’
An actor playing Ace walked on-stage as the 7th Doctor faced her and began to sing once more.
Somewhere the sky is burning
Can two anxious hearts beat as one?
Yesterday I was with Cheetah people
Today you run beside me
Something still going on
Something not yet here has begun.
Somewhere the sea is asleep
Becomes a different place
Somehow full of evil and might
How was I to know that so much hope was held inside us?
What has been defeated is not gone
Now we journey on through the times
How was I to know that our friendship would really last?
Trusting me the way you do
I’m so afraid of failing you
Just a child who cannot know that danger follows where I go
There are enemies everywhere
And memories I cannot share
Nevermore alone
Nevermore apart
You have warmed my heart like the medusa cascade
You have brought the gift of fun
And friends so long you stay with me.
Somewhere there is
A cold cup of tea
Somewhere there’s danger
That’s begun (19)
River walked to the front of the stage.
‘Something caused Ace to leave the Doctor forever, never to return to journey alongside him once more. This Doctor lived over a thousand years without Ace or anyone else by his side. His time in this body didn’t end until he arrived in the year 1999, where he was shot by a group of American gangsters,’
