Hello again. I just thought people needed a little distraction from politics and the general doom-laden atmosphere in the media. Having just discovered Avenue Q, I wondered what a Dr. Who version would be like...
On Avenue Who monsters and villains live side by side. Their day jobs include enslaving planets, destroying space fleets and devising fiendish plots to try and take over the galaxy. Let's discover more about the inhabitants of Avenue Who or perhaps visit the cobbles of Regeneration Street....
At number 1 live the Skaro family. They all have serious anger issues. The younger Daleks now have to be home-schooled as they blew Monster Academy up on their first day.
Obviously, Royal Mail refuse to deliver to them. They also have an ongoing feud with the Telos family due to their pet Cybermat, Cybus, stealing bits of their Dalek tech.
Living with the Daleks is their lodger called Davros who can be heard raving about absolute power in their basement.
But who lives at number 2, Avenue Who?

Hello again. Well Ulysses, "Winner of the TONY “Triple Crown” for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, Avenue Q is part flesh, part felt and packed with heart. Avenue Q is a laugh-out-loud musical that tells the story of a recent college graduate named Princeton who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. " from avenuequk.com/about-the-showImagine the Muppet Show, but written for adults. As a result, these muppets are a bit sweary. They talk and sing about adult themes such as relationships, money, the internet, having a purpose, racism, whose life is the worst and what to do if you have as BA in English. It is not very P.C but has a lot of charm, fun and very catchy tunes. Hope that helps. |

Hello again. Living at number 2, Mr. Magister and his sister Missy.
They are rather mysterious and can be regularly heard practising evil laughs. They have a large collection of miniature figures including delivery drivers, cold callers, election canvassers, Avon ladies, Mormons and window-cleaners.
The neighbours have commented that you never see the "siblings" at together at the same time. Suspicious... Also they are very good at getting the other residents to odd jobs for them.
Whenever either of the Magisters returns from work, they are always in a foul temper. They shout and swear about some Doctor mucking things up...
Well now, residing at Number 3, Avenue Who...

Hello again. The denizens of Avenue Who avoid number 3. The garden is very overgrown and something is moving in the undergrowth.
Anyone challenging the occupants to clear the garden is never seen again. Furthermore, the giant compost bin in the back garden always seems to be rather full...
The Daleks from number 1 have taken to using their flamethrowers to keep the rampant vegetation at bay.
Other monsters help out to contain the Krynoids and their cousins the Vervoids. After all if they escape their property then the whole of Avenue Who becomes the Eden project...
Anyone know who lives at number 4?

Oh, there is a great deal of speculation about No. 4, but honestly the rest of Avenue Who are often too caught up in their incessantly loud meddling with power tools to really come to any soluble conclusion. The neighbours' theories extend from a nursing home for the mechanically inclined to a small acting troupe whose "EXCELLENT" Shakespearean grandstanding borders on the compulsive.
They have a reputation for an overwhelmingly friendly community attitude and it is rare for them not to invite their peers over for one of their overwrought parties. Unfortunately, those who find the time to accept the invitation are often swept into the silver men's busy social lives and never seen again outside of dismissing accusations of uncomfortably large worm-like insects burrowing into the foundations of their house.
Other homes have brought up and rapidly dismissed similar concerns about infestations all around the avenue. Odd that.

Hello again. Who lives at number 5? Nobody knows. It looks like Scooby Doo's house. Some residents claim to have seen tall figures in suits leaving the building. Noone is quite sure. Arcs of electricity occasionally flash from the first floor.
Then there's the garden. Sinister stone figures stand there. They are never in the same place for long and anyone who doesn't heed the sign erected by the council mysteriously disappears. Oh and on the gate to house are hundreds of tally marks...
Many thanks to Wolfie53 for joining in with my nonsensical thread, I loved it. Anyone else like to have a go? Just follow on from the previous house number...ahh go on, its a !ong street of monstrosities and ne'er do wells...

Hello again. Number 6, is a bit special. It featured on Grand Designs, though Kevin McCloud's visits to the site during construction were brief given the homicidal nature of the street's residents.
So, let's take a tour. The house is on three levels. The lowest is underground and contains a saltwater swimming pool. The entrance to this leads from the back garden which is reminiscent of a beach with sand, pebbles and a sundeck complete with sunloungers.
Floor two contains amongst others: a gym / shooting range, a laboratory and a library / cinema room that contains books, relics and films from prehistory.
The crowning glory on the specially strengthed third floor is a geodesic glass conservatory full of tropical plants, birds and butterflies. It is heated by solar arrays on the south facing aspect. It has a small telescope for the occupants to watch the heavens.
Underneath the front garden is a bunker and hibernation facility. Well you never know, when the sky will fall...

Ha, this is pretty funny. I loved Avenue Q. Some very memorable and hilarious musical numbers. But definitely not PC and not safe for work.  |

Hello again.
It is a cold, cold house Number 7. The heating hasn't just broken down. It doesn't exist. Instead, each room is like a walk in freezer. Don't forget your parka.
The occupants are very interested in all things martial. There are vicious looking swords, armour and helmets hanging on the wall.
You can hear sombre military music playing on many occasions. You do not see these aliens very often. They are very private beings and woe betide you if you annoy them too much
A large amount of suffocating foam is their first deterrent. Followed by a large green figure firing a sonic disruptor. How fast can you run, burglar? Faster than the speed of sound...
