A Doctor Who writing from my college years...

Brief intro - this scenario features Tom Baker as the Doctor, and me and MT as his companions. MT was my cousin Sara's infatuation at the time.

The Doctor - All right, Kiri, open the doors and we’ll take a look outside.
Kiri - Doors opened… aigh!!
MT - It looks like… a… giant barbecue!!
Doctor - But what are they barbecuing? Perhaps we should go out for a closer look.
Kiri - I don’t know about that, Doctor.
(cut to a view out of the Tardis doors – a valley lies below, at the bottom of which several tall beings are gathered around several large barbecues. Over the distant mountains, the sun is setting.)
Doctor – off we go, then. (They trudge out, Kiri and MT exchanging reluctant glances. They descend toward the barbecues, the succulent smell of roasting meat wafting up to them from time to time.)
MT – My stomach is growling.
Kiri – I wonder if they’d like guests for dinner?
Doctor – I hope not literally.
(A sudden roaring noise comes from behind them. They whirl around to face a huge form lumbering out of the trees.)
Doctor – Hello! Might we join your barbecue?
Being – What food do you eat?
Kiri – Moon Frog.
Being – MOON FROG???!!!!!
Doctor – Yes, Moon Frog. (To Kiri) What the hell is moon frog?
Kiri – It’s kinda like chicken.
Being – There are legends among my people of the strangers who will come to us, professing to eat the great Moon Frog… You are gods!
