Hyperstar Rising (comic story)

Opening narration box
The Doctor and Rose try to find Hyperstar Cal MacNannovich

Summary
The Doctor and Rose arise on the Hyperfilm Studio set of the Great Director, Zemm Foolini, on the planet Woldyhool, in the year Five Billion. Zemm is not happy, his monster shoot has been interupted and his leading manbot Cal "Spark Plug" MacNannovich has gone missing. To make things worse, the monster (a Bajunx from the Isop Galaxy) isn't as well-behaved an actor as his agent promised, and goes on a rampage, eating all of the extras and the security forces. Recognising its species and sensing that something is not right, the Doctor pacifies the creature with bright studio lights and a shadow puppet show. Recognising it as a baby, prone to shoving things in its mouth, the Doctor waits for the extras and security forces to be sicked up unharmed. The adult Bajunx, the real monster actor, turns up, looking for his little boy! With events settled, the Doctor and Rose leave to find out what has happened to another survivor from Platform One.
