Good as Gold (TV story)

Good as Gold was a mini-episode of Doctor Who written by the winners of a Blue Peter script-to-screen competition.

Synopsis
The Doctor and Amy are in the TARDIS and it's London 2012. Whatever you do — don't blink!

Plot
The Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond are inside the TARDIS, and Amy says that it has been a while since they have been on an adventure. The Doctor activates the TARDIS' "Adventure Setting" and they are off. However, the TARDIS starts to malfunction and the Doctor gets blasted by steam. His hair becomes messy and the TARDIS continues to malfunction. The Cloister Bell sounds and the TARDIS console fires out sparks. The Doctor says the TARDIS is going to crash. Amy and he hang on for dear life and they crash.

Once they get up, an athlete runs through the door holding the Olympic Flame. He asks where he is, then realises he was running from something. They all look at the door and see a Weeping Angel.

The Doctor and Amy say, "don't blink", but then the TARDIS fires sparks out of the console. The Weeping Angel takes the Olympic Torch from the athlete. The Doctor says the Angel wants to destroy the Pride of the Olympics and ruin London 2012. He points his Sonic Screwdriver at the Angel, which cracks and blows up.

The athlete jumps up and grabs the Torch so it doesn't hit the floor and go out. He thanks the Doctor and gives him an Olympic gold medal before leaving the TARDIS to light the Olympic Beacon. The Doctor turns around and says that they are now going to go on an adventure.

The Weeping Angel reappears and looks to the centre of the TARDIS.
